Preliminary plans call for a 30 to 35 hod two-story addition along Edgemont avenue to con nect with the two west wings of the present plant. Dietary and other ancillary facilities would be moved to the first floor of the Kings Mountain C of C Urges Patron Support •y MARTIN HARMON Southern Bell Telephone Com pany will poil Kings Mountain area subscribers within the next low weeks to determine whether they wish tod fiee service to Gas tonia. Kings Mountain Chamber of Commerce is urging support of the expanded toll free service . which would more than double the present mtnsoers Kings Moun tain area su-ismbcrs can dial toll free. Additional cost would be a maximum of 60 cents per month for residential subscribers, and SI.50 per month for business subscribers. Kings Mountain subscribers now have toll free service to ap proximately 13,000 numbers. With the expanded toll frie service they would lx* able to dial as lo cal calls approximately 30,000 numbers. Should the subscriber poll fa I vor the expjnded toll free scr • vice, it would probably be next year before the- service could be provided, due to necessity for ; Southern Bell to install addition , a! equipment and cable, Bryan 1 Houck, Bell Gartonia group man ager, said yesterday. Jack H. White, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce telephone rate committee, said Wcdnesdav: "There will he a very nominal increase in the monthly charge of oOe for one and two party non business lines and a monthly in crease of $1.30 for business lines. When you consider that one tele phone call to Gastonia is 40c plus 10'i excise tax for a person to person call for 3 minutes, one can readily see that this is a very nominal charge for vastly in creased ser\ ice. “I would !i’:c vbry much to urge all telephone subscribers, when they receive a card from the telephone company for a vote to return that card and to sup port this effort as we feel that this will be a valuable service to the community. All individual family telephone subscribers should make a special effort to return the card for the results of these cards will influence heavily the North Carolina Utilities Com mission, which must approve the proposal in order for it to be ef fective.” Mr. Houck said: "Providing this service bv Southern Bell will depend upon the wishes of our Kings Mountain customers. In a few weeks, customers will re ceive a letter outlining the pro posal and a return post card to be used as a ballot to vote their de sires. "A substantia] majoritj of cus tomers voting tn favor of the proposed new service will mean that considerable time will be re quired to in stall the necessary expensive equipment and cable. Wo would hope to complete the installation sometime in 1965/ Jan Williams School Appointee Jan Williams the first Kings Mountain high school student sfc. looted to receive the honor, has been notified of her acceptance to attend the Governor’s School at Salem college June 10- July 30. a term of eight weeks.
