Churches and Character Building Agencies


The firm religious convictions of the pioneer settlers still persist in the Gastonia community today, as is fully attested by the countless thousands who regularly attend services in the 100 sanctuaries. These churches include the usual Protestant denominations found in the southeast, together with the Cath- olic and Jewish. Millions of dollars have been spent by local congregations in recent years for new and improved edifices. Gastonia has distinguished itself by the large number and excellence of its Boy and Girl Scout Organizations, by the Boys' Club of America organization for Negro boys, its modern and well equipped YMCA building, and the variety of its program for adults as well as the youth of the community.


Gastonia is a church-going community with 100 sanctuaries and many other character building agencies.


XV


INTRODUCTION


The Y. M. C. A. is a beehive of activity, patronized by all ages.


Recreational


The City of Gastonia has a well organized Recreation Department serving both races and geared to fit the needs of all ages. There are community cen- ters, a skeet range, swimming pools, an 18-hole golf course, a regulation athletic field, all-weather tennis courts, picnic tables, an 85-acre lake for boating and fishing, and playgrounds for little children. The city has 13 parks, aggregating 250 acres, well distributed geographically for every potential user. Private enterprise has provided two bowling alleys with 52 lanes, four golf courses, basketball courts, and fields for baseball, football and all kinds of outdoor sports. On the Catawba River are several artificial lakes created by the Duke Power dams where year-round fishing and aquatic sports and boating are only 15 minutes distant. The Blue Ridge Mountains are only 60 miles to the northwest, and the Atlantic beaches can be reached in four hours.


Gaston Country Club is outstanding for its fine golf course and its nice, com- modious quarters.

Government


Gastonia operates its fiscal affairs efficiently under the City Manager- Council (Plan D) form of government. Its tax rate is $1.50 per $100 of valua- tion, which is approximately 33º/o of actual value. The County also operates with a Manager.


Health and Climate


There are four hospitals with 451 beds in Gastonia, including the North Carolina Orthopedic. These institutions have all facilities for the modern practice of medicine by the 55 physicians and surgeons who practice here. The County provides a Public Health Department which is very active in fer- reting out and eliminating unsanitary conditions and guarding the public health generally.

Gaston Memorial Hospital, one of the four splendidly equipped hospitals in Gastonia.


Gastonía's elevation of 825 feet above sea level and its position relative to the mountains insure against extremes of both heat and cold and excessive hu- midity. Below zero temperature have occurred on only four days since 1878, and above 100 degree readings occur on the average of twice in three years. The average growing season -- frost free period -- is 230 days, extending from March 24 to November 10. Snowfall is infrequent and over a long period of time has averaged 5.7 inches per year.


Communications and Utilities


Gastonia has one newspaper, the Gastonia Gazette, an afternoon daily and Sunday morning, with circulation of 25,000. There are three radio stations, WGNC, WLTC, and WGAS. The Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company serves the area with over 41,000 telephones in the local exchange.


Water and sewerage utilities are owned and operated by the City of Gas- tonia, as also is electricity within the city limits. Outside, electricity is re- tailed by the Duke Power Company. Natural gas is available through the Pub- lic Service Company of North Carolina, its supply coming from the Trans- continental Pipe Line Company.


One of Duke Power Company's generating plants near Gastonia. Two million- k.w. of electrical energy is generated in Gaston County.

The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or product, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.


*


The City Directory is the natural medium for keep- ing a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.

Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory?


You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few ques- tions, checked against City Directory information, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."
