Stalfe Senator Jack White ten
tatively opposes the effort of
Governor Dan K. Moore to cut
state taxe.s.
Rcpre.sentative - elect W. K.
Mauney, Jr., favors “reducing or
eliminating some taxes" —
though with reservations.
' Governor Moore said last
weekend, as the Advisory Jjudget
Commi.ssion completed its rec
ommendations to tltc l^f Gen
eral Asscmblj, that, in “view of
an indicated surplus for the bi
ennium ending June 30, he
would recommend tax reduc
tions.
The Governor declined specif
ics and said he would give the
specific details in his budget
message to the General u4ssemb-
ly next February.
Both Kings Mountain men
elected to the upcoming General
Assembly said they are curious
as to what specific recommenda
tions the Governor will make. |
Senator White commented. "I
certainly was and am against
the imposition of new taxes, in
cluding 'ho proposal in some
quarters ^f a I'K-al option sales

“The most damage was to my

Phenix plant, commented Wed
nesday afternoon, after a fire
in the basement of the northern
wing of the mill had been ex
tinguished by city firemen.
Fire of undetermined origiin
ignited the lint accumulation of
many years.
The blaze was discovered about
noon by a twister operator when
his machine stopped. Examin
ing the machine, the operator
saw fire blazing through a vent
around a pipe, R. B Payne, per
sonnel director, said.
No wiring remains in the un
used basement, Mr. Keeter said,
which ruled out defectiv'e wiring
as a cause.

Union Bus Teiminal Argument Has
Overtones For Kings Mountain
An effort by Soul hern Grey
hound bus linos to throw into
limbo North Carolina’s union
terminal concept has oveHoncs
effecting Kings Mountain, as
well as other cities throughout
the state.
Specifically, Southern Grey
hound seeks to 'withdraw from
union terminals owned by other
bus companies in Raleigh and
Charlotte. However, Greyhound
has been threatening intermit
tently to withdraw from the
Kings Mountain union terminal,
owned by Queen City Trailways,
for several months.
In the Tuesday hearing before
the North Carolina Utilities
Commission, Greyhound contend
ed that the union terminal con
cept; in vogue in
since 1925, is a utilities commis
sion regulation and not a. law.
The president of .Southern
Greyhdund told the commission
Greyhound was not satisfied with
the inadequate faciliues of the
Raleigh and Cjiarlotte terminals
and said North Oaroliria is the
lone state 'following the union
terminal concept. He said his
company ,has built 54 terminals
in the South during the post dec
ade.
Under present state policy, the
tenant companies, such as South
ern Greyhound is lierc, pays ;a
percentage of ticket and package
receipts to the owner as rent.
In the Kings Mountain situa
tion, Greyhound has -been ada
mant against paying moi-o than
10 percent of the ticket sales as
rent, whereas Queen City says a
ten percent figure is insufficient
rent for Greyhound's “fair
sliare” of the expense of opera
ting the terminal.
Representatives of Queen City
and Greyhound have held sev
helped last year, 65 percent were
Negro.
Rev. C. R. Goodson, East Gold
Street Wesleyan Methodist
church pastor, heads the welfare
committee for the fifth year. He
said that Empty Stocking booths
will again be placed in the busi
ness district and various minis
ters of the community will be
“bell ringers’’ starting today. In
addition, coin collection contain
ers will be placed in grocery
stores and service stations.
Rev. Howard Jordan, president
of the Ministerial A.ssociation
and pastor of Central Methodist
churchi expressed appreciation to
the public for their continued
support of the charity project.
All monies from the Empty
Stocking Fund go to deserving
families, both white and Negro,
in the Kings Mountain area.
Mr. Good.son said local minis
ters receive their rewards from
the project work from smiles of
children’s faces when they visit
their homos on Christmas Eve
and from families who tell them,
“Without the help of the Empty
Stocking Fund, Santa wouldn’t
have come to our house this
year.”
Ho said ministers who conduct
the “bell-ringing” duties on
downtown streets report that
many families who are helped
one year are able to give money
(hcmsclves another year when
they are able to return to work.
Ministers, both white and
Negro, conduct the project, and
man the Empty Stocking booths.
