Shore Addresses
Two Lions Clubs
"The United Nations is the best
instrument we have for world
peace, it is the one active hope
for worid order, and it is creating
a great respect for human rights
that much of the world has never
known," Rev. P. L. Shore, Jr.,
' pastor of Central Methodist
'church, said Tuesday night in an
j adejress before a joint' meeting of
the' Kings Mountain and Cherry
Iville Lions clubs.
The Kings Mountain club was
host to the Cherryville organiza
tion in one of several inter-club
meetings in the Lions zone,
Vice-President George Thomas
son presided, and Bill Houser,
Cherryville president, and Edwin
Rudisill, Cherryville vice ? presi
jdent, made brief remarks of ap
preciation for the invitation and
j commendation of the inter-club
[meeting plan.
I Mr. Shore Vas presented by
| Carl F. Mauney.
Speaking on the "United Na
tions", Rev. Mr. Shore declared ,
that the United Nations, whether
it lives forever, for a generation j
or only a few years, has already j
justified Its existence. He acknow
ledged that the organization had
made mistakes, including the par- 1
titlon of Palestine, but he con- 1
tended that the benefits of its !
work has already been amazing j
Including the halting of war, the,
averting of war, and the creation |
of a clearing house of unity a- j
mong many diverse peoples.
Me summarized the three main
groups of the United Nations,
noted that the organization isj
sometimes a sounding board for
"propaganda that we don't like
to hear, and. again, for propa-j
ginda that, some other parts of j
the world don't like to hear", and j
pointed to the many humanitati- '
an Activities of the organization
in providing subsistence for
r.i'.ny of the world's refugees, its
mc ileal work in Africa and other
n itions. its weather mapping di
vision. and other areas of ser
vice the United Nations is pro
viding f.ir the world.

Cotton Case
( Continued from front papm)
knew others were involved.
George W. Mauney and I went
to Gaffney, S. C., where wte found
tickets from Kings Mountain
Bonded Warehouse bales. The
State Bureau of Investigation
was called In and Agent Turkle
son took over. He conducted his
investigation in sfeveral places,
both in South and North Caro
lina. On this case, Mr. Logan,
then sheriff of the county, was
invited in, but he told me the
theft had occurred in the Kings
Mountain city limits and was our
problem. If Mr. Logan would do
some of his own work, instead
of looking for somebody with a
camera and note pad. he might
bte able to break some cases of
his own, without having to claim
credit for those others have han
dled."
Farr said the three were In Jail
in. South Carolina for another
cotton theft, and that retainers
were filed with South Carolina
officials in order that North Car
>llna officers would be notified
whon their sentences were com
pleted.
Chief of Police Logan, in re
i porting the details of the case,
produced a signed confession
from Williams, which implicated
Camp and Ratchford. Both, Mr.
] Mauney said, continued to deny
the allegations. Williams was sen
tenced to prison for a term of one
to four years, while Camp and
Ratchford drew sentences of six
! to nine years each.

"To this round table Ed brought
the warmth of the southland and
an instinctive knowledge of local
mineral resources. These attri
butes plus his driving energy to
ward building Jobs and security
for his neighbors was a large fac
tor in bringing a section of our
operation to this locality. We
trust that he will be so remem
bered. -
"We hope to build on the foun
dation thus laid and to become a
part of the community group.
"In time the full fruits of Ed's
work will be more evident. We
join with you in regrets that It
was not given that Ed could en
joy them."
Mr. Munson said:
"The sudden passing of Mr. E.
T. Plott represents a great loss
and irreplaceable vacancy in the
personnel of the Lithium Corpor
ation. Mr. Plott has been associ
ated with the corporation since
1946. His astute business ability
nnd faith in the industrial future
of this area caused him to spend
a great deal of effort on the basic
work of developing mineral re
sources which at the time had no
market and no means of extract
tion. His foresightedness played
a major part in bringing new in
dustry into the area.
"The corporation shares the
sense of loss occasioned by tWe
death of this community-minded
citizen."
Mr. Plott is survived by his
