MAUNEY From Page 1-A down. His father needed him to program the new computers the company was installing. Mauney start- ed out on a card system computer, moved to hard disc drives and now is looking at upgrading the com- puter system to track inventory. Recently he put in a system to replace time clocks, transmitting informa- tion directly from time clocks in the plant to a main frame computer. An employee punches in and out and his or her pay is automatically computerized, eliminating costly paper work. A small plastic card holds all the information needed to make the payroll. Mauney says that the hosiery business is changing every day and he sees textiles an exciting field for young college graduates. He has a good rapport with other industrial leaders through his activity with Catawba Valley Hosiery Association of which he served as president. Although there is competition, he said that the various companies help each other .when particular items and styles are needed to meet a deadline for production. Mauney Hosiery is electronically oriented. New high speed knitting machines has made a marked dif- ference in production with a quicker turn around time. "We can change the styles of a sock on a dime using the new machinery and computers,” Kemp said. Upper scale, high quality products is how - Mauney describes the socks which come out of pro- duction, as many as 30,000 dozen pairs a week. Mauney's sock production gathered steam in World War II when the firm received orders from the US. government, During the war years from 1943-45 , Mauney produced six million pairs of Army and, Navy socks for men and women in the military. "Some of the government orders have slowed but we expect this part of the business to pick up;' Mauney. A 1970 graduate of Asheville School for Boys, Mauney earned his business degree from North Carolina State University. He came to work at the family plant full time after graduation from college. Another summer job he held during high school and ‘college was at Hoke Electric Company where he worked for Dan Finger. Other members of his family also continue in the business.

S. Peeler, who noted that some schools raise considerably morc funds than oth- crs on special solicitations from the public. McRac suggested that a flat sum be paid to cach school followed by a per pupil amount. "The question is do we want kids to knock on doors and pay for fund raisers that way or pay an cxtra penny on taxes," said McRac. McRae said some folks may ob- ject to the tax raise because some folks may not buy the products of- fered by the school fund raisers.
