PLUS NORTH CAROLINA SALES TAX TELEPHONE NUMBER — 739-5441 Local Call Tolls? Firing Week With Christmas coming, too, it has been a bad week for some. The job-a.\e was not only honed but used. President Nixon fired John Love, his energy czar, who wanted to move faster on resti'ictions on energy use than the President was willing to ac cept. Up in Rutherford County, the com missioners fired the county manager. In nearby Gastonia, the commis- sionei's fired the acting city manager. Some observations: In the instance of Mr. Love, who resigned as governor of Colorado to ac cept his task, it appears the President, once again, shows an indination for rubber stamps in his administration. Two other former governors have come ind gone, George Romney, of Michigan, ind Walter Hickel, of Alaska. Former governors, after all, have been there—in top administrative posi tions — themselves. These three quit because President Nixon would buy neither their opinions nor their refusal to retreat from them. Governor Romney on public housing. Governor Hickel on ecology. City and county managers often find themselves in short-term situations. The acting city manager of Gastonia, it was charged, wanted to report only to the mayor, with no regard for members of the city commission. The Rutherford situation was not immediately apparent. The record over the years shows t hat city and county managers too often tend to fall into the public relations and job-jeopardizing traps of forgetting the rank-and-file, who elect or reject, the members of the governing bodies to start with. In contrast, the elected office-hold er forgets the rank-and-file only to his regret. Next time around, he isn't there. As Sir Winston Spencer Churchill told the House of Commons, the demo cratic process remains perhaps the worse form of government, except that it has been proved the best form of gov ernment. Just when folk were projecting a lower highway accident rate as a result of lesser speeds, a Virginia youngster, wanting to assure himself he was bor rowing enough gas fi'om a friend’s tank, lights a match to see. At last reports he was hospitalized with second degree burns over 80 percent of his body. Con dition: CT’itical. It is axiomatic that cars and alcohol don't mi.x. Neither do gaso line and fire. Congratulations and good wishes to Mrs. W. T. Weir and Charles Mauney, who will serve as co-chairmen of the city’s centennial celebration committee. City Administration American Telephone and Telegraph Company is analyzing the possibility of local phone toll charges. The city administration. Moss V, will take oaths of office Monday night with five new members, of seven. The official who announced the fact doubted the possibility would be come fact before the end of the centui’y. Let it be hoped, cost accountancy noitwithstanding. The AT&T official contends his company has a considerable deficit on local telephone service and that makers of local calls, either frequently, or of long duration, or both, get a free ride off both those who make local calls at a minimum or of short duration. Of the five, only Commissioner-elect Lloyd E. Davis, a lormer commi.s9ionei', has had prior governmental experience. The official’s statements may well be true in the co.st accountant's figur ing. It is the Herald’s observation, over many years in reporting decisions of governmental bodies here and else where, that identity of the members nor their experience, makes little difference in the cour.se, with the principal pro- vLsos being that the men are 1) inter- e.sted, 2) willing to work, and, of course, honest in their approach to the affairs of the governing body they, be election, have responsibility lor superintending. But the principal refutation seems to be in the continuing trend of profit figures on the total AT&T operation. Here the word is “up". Certainly in North Carolina, if not in some other states, a large majority area of the decisions are dictated by state law and obvious no-argument wis dom. Perhaps not over five percent of the decisions are arguable and these con cern policy. Like roads, there are bumps on the governmental thoroughtares, too, and there always will be. The Herald’s knowledge of the mem- bei-s of the incoming administration in dicate they have the character and a- bility to properly direct the city during the coming two years. A City Problem I The City of Kings Mountain, a ven dor of energy in the forms of electric power and natural gas, has been with an energy problem of its own as the city’s supplier of auto gas is applying its own allocation cut to the city—20 per cent of prior purchases. What will be the result? The Herald has not yet obtained a nose-count of city vehicles, but it is a reasonable guess that the city operates as many vehicles, if not more, than any enterprise, public or private, in the Kings Mountain area. Frederickson Motor Lines is an obvious e.xceptlon, though, within the bounds of Kings Mountain itself, the city operates many more vehicles than the caiTier. The Herald made effort to contact all coinmissioners-elect for their ideas concerning husbandry of vehicle fuel. There was no consensus of methods of saving fuel, but all of those with whom the Herald talked agreed they would make every effort to arrive at ways and means which would not in volve a curtailment of city services. That may not prove possible. A mild winter, Ibllowing the mild autumn, over which no mortal has con trol. would probably bo the greatest boon. Several commissioners - elect felt more operating efficiency could be ob tained. Indeed, Ray Cline noted that one saving step—^though taken initially to save city money, not fuel—had already been taken, with the order that city employees, other than basic-service de partment heads not take their on-the- job city vehicles home at night. One called on citizens to give a major assist by tightening belts. The city’s selling side of energy has not yet been restricted though a natural gas curtailment, previously ordered by the Federal Power Commission and stayed by the Circuit Court of Appeals, may find the city with less natural gas to sell after January 8. Almost all agencies are cautiously optimistic offering the opinion that a cooperative effort on the part of all, anent World War II, will get the city itself, and all its citizens over the enw- gy-short hurdle. - —Ml'ir TN .N. m ii MARTIN’S MEDICINE Viewpoints of Other Editors DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME A BRIGHT RED ACCENT ENERGY CRISIS SEEMS TO BE NATION’S OWN PANDORA'S BOX By MARTIN HARMON My car wa.s parked behind City Hall VVecIhc.«lay afiernaon I vshile I checked on some obitu ary information at MarrU t'aner- al Home. m-m When I returned, I found a couple of largo bundles in the fr-nt seat.
