CARLOS FALLON Executives Club To Hear Fallon Carlos Fallon, former Colom bian Naval officer and a captain in the Army of th<j United States (retired) will be the next guest of honor at a regular meeting of the Cleveland - Rutherford Exe cutives Club, according to Robert M. Maxwell, the local secretary who is in charge of the arrange ments. . |. The affair will be at Gardnbr Webb college on the 4th of De cember at 7 o'clock and it is ex pected that a large number of the members and their invited guests will bb on hand to hear the distinguished author, world traveler and lecturer. His subject will be "Misadventures ? At Home and Abroad." Fallon was born In Colombia and after he reached manhood he spent ten years in the navy of his country, but a large part of his boyhood was spent in New Orleans where his father was the Colombian Consul in that city. He knows the entire Western Hemisphere from Canada to Cape Horn, having covered it personal ly. He knows South America as well as club members know their home towns. He speaks French and Portuguese as fluently as he speaks his native Spanish and his English is impeccable. Based on his behind-the-scenes knowledge of international rela tions, Carlos Fallon presents a more startling picture of the enormous power for good or evil than can be wielded by the three hundred millions of Americans in the Western Hemisphere. An outstanding characteristic of Fallon's lectures is the fact that they are fun. It may be that the Irish and Spanish combine to produce a special type of wit or it may be the mixture of Cas tilian culture and a sailor's life but the end result is that audi ences love it. Kings Mountain Men Get GOC Wings Over 100 volunteer members of the Cleveland County Ground Observer Corps were to have re ceived silver wings and certifi cates from the Air Force in cere monies at the VFW hall in ahel by Wednesday night. Volunteers from Kings Moun tain who put in ten hours or more and received wings and certificates were Ted Gamble, James Lybrand, and C. D. Ware More than 1800 North Carolina communities, Including some counties, are served only by trycks. RECREATION ROUND-UP REBELS TIE SHELBY Thb Kings Mountain Rebels spoiled Shelby's junior high home coming Saturday night in Shelby by holding the favored Shelby to a scoreless tie. This was the first blemish on the heretofore undefeated, untied rfccord of Coach Manley Runyons' charges. Kings Mountain hung up their football togs a week ago but, due to a cancellation by Gaston ia the recreation team was round.vl up by Coach Major Lofton and uni forms reissued to the players for the Shelby game. Thanks to ?J. Ollie Harris, all the boys wtere able to attend the gatjie with Fireman Ted Gamble and Ellis King helping supervise the trip. The Rebels took the opening kickoff from their own 27 yard line to thb Shelby 6- inch line be fore being stopped, Referee O. C. Conner ruling the ball dead at that point. Kings Mountain thre atened again just before the half ended, losing the ball on a fumblfe on the Shelby four. With the game -almost over, a pass play looked good for a Kings Moun tain T. D. but Headlinesman Bridges ruled that Rebel Back Blanton had stepped out-of bounds on the four and on the next play K. M. fumblbd and the game ended. Shelby stayed in their own ter ritory most of the game and ex cept for a few bad breaks Kings Mountain could have scored sev eral times. The tite left the Rebel season mark at 7-3-1, with all three losses being by only 25 points. The Rebels ran up 234 points to the oppositions 39.
