Oregon Man Has
"Hot" Detector
An Oregonian, who claims
he has the world’s best mineral
detector, wants a sample of
lithium to see if his detector
will work on this metal.
In a communique addressed
to “Chamber of Commerce,
Kings Mountain, N. C.*’, Bert V.
Hands, Cottage Grove, Ore.,
who describes himself as a
prospector, noted that he had
made his own mineral detector.
‘So far as I know,” he wrote,
“no other detector is like it (I
am not selling it)."
He said his detector can lo
cate many kinds of minerals,
lost people in the woods, dia
monds and even rattlesnakes.
Prospector Hands noted the
recent Reader’s Digest lithium
story and this sent him to
Kings Mountain. He wants to
try out his detector on lithium,
but can’t find any in his area.
He asked for a piece the size
of a quarter, of good grade, tout
“o. k. if it's cracked or rough.”
Dan Weiss, acting .president
of the Kings Mountain Cham
ber of Commerce, read the let
ter at Monday night's Cham
ber of Commerce meeting and
turned it over to Bill Eldon,
Foote Mineral Company, who
said he expects to forward a
sample of spodumene, at least,
to the Oregon prospector.

New Hospital
Set-Up Proposed
A proposed plan to lease the
Shelby and Kings Mountain hos
pitals to two non-profit corpora
tions was presented by Hospitals
Administrator George Laycook to
the Cleveland County commis
sioners Monday.
Mr. Laycock asked the com
missioners to consider this plan
of leasing the hospitals, and no
ted that the proposal had been
approved by the current board of
hospital trustees. He suggested
the Shelby Hospital corporation
employ 20 directors and the
Kings Mountain Hospital corpo
ration employ 12 directors.
He added that last year the
Cleveland County hospitals lost
some $80,000 in grants from char
itable foundations because the
hospitals were, county operated.
Mr. Laycook proposed that a
12-man board be set up to govern
the local hospital unit, and that
a 20-man board be the governing
body of the Shelby unit. Mem
bers would serve five-year terms,
staggered so that four new mem.
bers would come on each year.
The members would not be al
lowed to succeed themselves
without at least a one-year wait
ing period.
The proposal suggested that
the boards include representa

Horvath Asks
County Funds
For Water Line
Cleveland County commission
ers were asked Monday to pro
vide an eight-inch water line from
the Kings Mountain city limits
to the Margrace plant of Massa
chusetts Mohair Plush Company
here.
This request was presented to
the board by W. J. Fulkerson,
general superintendent, and W.
K. Lee, southern division engi
neer for the company.
Mr. Fulkerson told the board
that his company had already
spent $12,440.84 for equipment
and supplies in preparation for
the line installation. He added
that it will cost approximately
$1.30 additional per foot to fun
the 4,200 feet of pipe to the plant.
The City of Kings Mountain
agreed to install pipe to the city
limits, but said it was company
responsibility to extend it the re
mainder of the distance to the
plant.
“Our company is in the process
of moving two-thirds of its nor
thern equipment to the Kings
Mountain area," Mr. Fulkerson
explained”, and we do not have
sufficient water coming in from
our eleven wells to operate the
additonal equipment and main
tain stepped-up production.”
“If we can help one, we can
help another one, I recon,’* Z. V.
Cline, chairman of the board
said.
The Commissioners had previ
ously supplied funds for a water
line to be run to the J. W. Wood
Elastic Web Company plant out
side Shelby.
However, since this money
must come from non-tax revenu
es, the board took no official ac
tion, except to say that the mon
ies in this fund had been ex
hausted for the current fiscal
year.
The Commissioners advised
Mr. Fulkerson to go ahead with
the installation of the water line,
and asked him to present certi
fied bills to the board around
the first of June, when the com

Painter, Benfield Given Terms
George Cecil Cooke has been
sentenced to die in the gas cham
ber for the fatal shooting of Da
niel Z. Holloman, Mooresboro
service station operator, on Sep
tember 10.
A Burke County jury, brought
to Shelby by order of Judge Hugh
B. Campbell, deliberated only
one hour and 35 minutes Friday
afternoon returning a verdict of
guilty. The jury dkj not recom
mend mercy, making the death
sentence mandatory.
Attorneys C. C. Horn and A. A.
Powell, appointed by the court as
defense attorneys for Cook, Im
mediately entered notice of ap
peal to the State Supreme Court.
Cook is scheduled to die in the
North Carolina gas chamber on
January 14, 1957.
The defendant had been ar
rested in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and
brought back here to stand trial
on the murder charge. He was re

ing Holloman five times with a
pistol that was found in his pos
session.
Cook’s wife, Jo Anne, was also
returned from Oklahoma to
stand trial in the case, but the
grand jury returned a no true
bill in her case, and she was al
lowed to go tree.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Cook were
wanted in connection with the
shooting of a gas station employ
ee in Butler County, Ala-, but
Butler County Sheriff W. W.
Thomas said in a telegram to the
Cleveland County Sheriff’s de
partment that he did not wish to
extradite Mrs. Cook at this timee.
Mrs. Cook is said to have "tip
ped" Cleveland County officers
off as to Cook’s whereabouts,
and this led to his apprehension
by officers in Oklahoma.
In another case involving Kings
Mountain area citizens, Reginald
Painter was given a one-year
term at Camp Butner, first of
fender’s camp, for larceny of U.
S. Savings Bonds from his par

in a companion case. Painter was
accused of taking $500 worth of
bonds from his parents'1 home
and cashing them in Kings
Mountain and neighboring cities.
Benfield was reported to have
helped Painter in cashing the
stolen bonds.

Dance Cancelled At North School;
P-TA Supper, Open House Friday
Protests by two local Baptist
ministers resulted in North
School P-TA dropping plans for
a proposed square dance for chil
dren and adults, first scheduled
to be held during an open house
program at North School Friday

Executive board members of

Event Rated
Best In History
By Spectators _
An estimated 5,000 persons
jammed Kings Mountain Wed
nesday afternoon for the Kings
Mountain Merchants associa
tion’s annual Christmas opening
parade.
Kings Mountain’s biggest ev
er. the parade got underway at
4:05 p. m., only five minutes be
hind schedule, and it was 40 min
utes iater before the big Santa
Claus float passed the dispersal
point.
Many onlookers commented on
the excellence of the parade,
which included floats, high
school beauty queens, other pret
ty girls, and numerous high
school bands.
Chief comic feature of the pa
rade was a trick car act, featur
ing a clown who guided the car
with his hands — even while
walking in front of it. He could
cause the car to reverse or turn
in any direction. Intermittently,
a fender or other part would pop
off, accompanied by a loud
‘‘bang.”
National Guard units also ap
peared in the parade as did nu
merous Girl Scout and Brownie
Scout groups.
Particular comment was heard
among viewers on the beauty of
the large number of floats, in
VICKI NEARLY MISSED
Vicki, the elephant, chief
animal attraction in Wednes

er telephoned Thursday morn
ing that the tractor with which
he hauled Vicki's trailer was in
bad repair, and suggested a
truck would have to :be sent to
haul Vicki over. An emergency
call to Howell Transfer, of
Shelby, produced the needed
tractor and Vicki made it on
time.
eluding local entries of Mauney
Textile Interests, Craftspun
Yarns, Burlington Industries,
Neisler Mills and others. Special
comment was also heard on the
singing of the choir on the Mace
donia church entry.
The bands marched well and
played Christmas music through
out the parade.
The units topped the 50-mark
by several.
Charles Dixon chairman of
the event, was tired but happy
when the parade had ended. He
commented, “It was a good pa
rade and it wouldn’t have been
possible without the cooperation
of many different people and
organizations.’’
He expressed particular appre
ciation to Kings Mountain busi
ness firms which entered floats,
to the out-of-town firms, includ
ing Coca-Cola Bottling Company,
Queen City Coach Company and
Southern Dairies which sent
floats for the event, and to aH
others contributing to the suc
cess of the event.
The parade was staged in ideal
weather. The sun was shining
and the temperature was not low
enough to cause discomfort.
Throngs of youngsters follow
ed the big Santa Claus float as
Old Nick tossed out candy to the
crowds along the line of march.
At dusk, Christmas lights were
turned on for the first time this
season.
Grover Woman, 67,
Champion Walker
The office and sales force of
Sterchi’s, Kings Mountain *
furniture firm, was astouiided
Monday when a lady customer,
in the store to purchase a cou
ple of linoleum rugs, made a
special request.
"Could I ride home in the
truck when it delivers my
rugs?” she asked. "I walked
up here from my home which
is a mile-and-a-half on the oth
er side of Grover.”
The customer was Mrs. Lula
Lovelace, who added she was
67 years of age, had hung out
the Monday wash before leav
ing at noon. She was at Ster
chi’s at 1:30 p. m., which was
somewhat of a record time for
the jaunt of more than nine
miles. Salesman A. T. De
Bruler posed the request to
Manager Kenneth Blanton.
Though the request was con
founding, due to Sterchi edict
against passengers riding in
Sterchi trucks, the problem
was solved quickly. Manager
Blanton handed the keys of his
auto to Deliveryman Wingo
and the delivery was made,
with passenger.
All agreed Mrs. Lovelace
should get the title as Cleve
land County's champion walk
er.
