DIRECT DISTANCE DIALING AVAILABLE
SUNDAY — Port Patterson, Southern Bell
switchman at the Kings Mountain exchange,
makes a fined check of equipment before the
upcoming Sunday 12:01 cun. inauguration of
direct distance dialing service. It will be pos
HnBHnHBHiil
sible to make station-to-station calls, where
numbers are known correctly, with much more
speed. Kings Mountain area talk will be able
to dial numbers direct in the 50 states, Canada
and Puerto Rico.
Distance Dialing
Available Sundav
«/
Long Distance
To Be Speedier,
If Number Known
Direct distance dialing be
comes available to Kings Moun
tain exchange telephone users
on Sunday.
The Bell Tel News which ac
companied the current phone
bills outlines this method for
use of direct distance dialing on
station-to-station calls.
1) Dial the numlber “1”.
2) Then dial the area code
number if it’s different from
Kings Mountain’s (704).
3) Follow with the telephone
number being called.
An operator will then ask,
“Your number, please?”, for log
ging the charge on the call.
“It’s as simple as that,” says
Floyd Farris, Kings Mountain
exchange manager.
Direct distance dialing is de
signed to increase the speed of
calls, Mr. Farris notes, adding
that the new, simple method
(where the number to be called
is known exactly) will provide
speediest service at lowest rates
Station-to^station calls to som<
points in the nation are up to 4':
percent cheaper than person-to
person calls.
Direct distance dialing is not
usuable on person-to-person calls,
collect calls, credit card calls or
pay station calls, which must
continue to be placed in the pre
sent manner by dialing “O” for
the long distance operator.

Survey Reveals
Many Officials
Are OpSmistic
Whether 1963 will be a good
business year in Kings Mountain
brought mixed opinions in a spot
survey by the Herald Wednes
day.
Some textile officials were opti
mistic, while two yarn manui'ac
tu.ers said they doubted a good
turn of events prior to settlement
of the tw'o-price cotton que tion.
Outlook for home construction
here is thought good.
George H. Mauney, of Mauney
Mills, and George H. Houser, (if
Sadie Cotton Mills, said they felt
orders for the e firms would con
tinue ro be slow' until the cotton
price matter is settled. Exported
cotton is subsidized at 8.5 cents
per pound to make it competitive
in the world market. This diffe
rentia] has been a;tarked by the
cotton manufacturers. In early
fall, the Federal Tariff commis
sion, by 3 to 2 vote, declined to
abolish, or lower, the export sub
sidy. Since, President Kennedy
has called for Congressional ac
tion to remedy the situation and
legislation to this effect is ex
pected to be introduced in Con
gress. .
Both Mr. Mauney and Mr.
Houser attributed the unsettled
luestion as chief fae'or in a
situation of hand-to-mouth or
ders.
“Nobody wants any inven'ory
with prospects it will be devalu
ed,” Mr. Hou er commented.
There were these optimistic
outlooks:
Vv. k. Mauney,'of Mauney Hos
I cry Mills and Carolina Throw'
mg Company, “I'm optimistic,
bo h for sales of ho iery and
yarn. We expect greater sales in
ho iery as a resuit of machinery
additions we're ja.t completing
installing.”
Robert Lowe, of Croftspun
Yarns, Inc., described his firm’s
outlook as “good", both in spin
ning and knitting oporat ons.
This firm is operating on t th ce
shift, six-day weekly schedule.
Tom Burke, of Lambeth Hope
Corporation, commented, “We
have nothing to complain about
for 19C2 and feel that 19G3 will
su-pass the recent year.” Lam
beth is also operating a three -
shift, six-day week.
Ben H. Bridges, secretary-treas
urer of Kings Mountain Savings
& Loan association, said, “We’re
starting 1963 in better fashion
than 1962, with more loan in
process. It looks likp a good year
upcoming for building.”
The e comments weie scron
by J. Wilson Crawford, a bulk!
er, who said Kings Mountain ha?
no current housing back!. - ,
a good year anticipated.
