Myers' Showing
Cora Lee Product
One product of a new Kings
Mountain industry — Cora Lee
Fabrics, Inc. — will be on dis
play and offered for sale to the
public this weekend.
Myers’ Department Store is
featuring a special display of
Windalure net curtains, made of
filament rayon in a variety of
colors and lengths, as manufac
tured by the new firm, which is
operating on Childers street in
the D. C. Mauney Estate building
one time used by Kings Moun
tain Laundry.
The curtains come in lengths
from 45 to 90 inches and are only
one of the many knitted products
being brought off the Cora Lee
machines.
Carl Swan, president, has an
interesting sample kit, which not
only includes • orlon polishing
rags (quick rinsing makes ’em
ready to use again), draperies,
and many other items.
Mr. Swan tossed out a few
samples of brilliantly colored
knitting and asked a guess on
what these products might be
and what they might be used
for.
The answer was that they were
knitted paper. Strip - type knit
ted paper was bound for sum
mer sandal manufacturers, while
larger samples were to go to
makers of ladies' summer bags,
sunhats and for lampshades.
Mr. Swan says the paper isn’t
hard to knit.
Cora Lee Fabrics, Inc., is a
wholly - nvned subsidiary of
Craftspun Yarns, Ino. Jack Cross
is secretary - treasurer and Al
bert Huffstickler is superinten
dent.
Cora Lee first began pilot oper
ations in a portion of the Craft
spun lunchroom. Later the com
pany leased half the floor space
in the former laundry building.
Early this year it leased the com
plete building.

High Schooled Take To Politics
With Vim, Vigor, And Imagination
Ambitious citizens anxious for
success at seeking political office
might do well' to visit Central
high school this week to take a
look-.see at how the young folk
manage the politicking business.
It’s election time for Student
Participation officers and the
high schoolers are giving the
chore the full treatment. An ex
amination season didn’t seem to
slow the steam much.
There are three candidates for
each of the three elective offices,
and the timetable calls for cam
paign .speeches on Friday (a la
South Carolina), with the final
results to be made known on
Monday.
There are campaign managers
galore but there seem to be few
cohesive tickets. There’s nothing
too unusual about this either.
Each candidate would like to
come home with as near 100 per
cent of the votes as possible.
Then there are money prob
lems. One campaign • managing
team was down to beggar’s row
Tuesday. All available funds had
been spent for posterboard, paint,
and the other tools necessary to
proper publicizing a campaign.
And beggihg wasn’t too bad,. Sev
eral citizens had chipped in
stock-in-trade tools in lieu of
funds.
The candidates are outwardly
less excited than .some of the sup
porters.
Seeking the presidency of the
student organization are Keith
Layton, James Pressly and Steve
Kesler.
Candidates for vice-president
include two lads and one lass,
Pfcggy Black, David Plonk and
Freddie Hambright.
The secretaryship fight is a
strict female affair, with Polly
Page, Jane Byars and Judy Coo
per vying for the spot.

Car Speed-Timer
Is Now In Use
On City Streets
By BOB HOFFMAN
The “whammy” has made its
official appearance in Kings
Mountain!
This electrical speed - timing
device was used for three days
last week and resulted in 44 per
sons being charged with exceed
ing in-city speed limits.
Chief Hugh A. Logan, Jr., and
his officers received the device
last Thursday and immediately
put it into use. Through Satur
day the 44 tickets had been writ
ten and numbers of motorists
warned to slow down.
The officers allowed a person
to make 42 miles per hour in the
city’s 35-mile zones, but anything
above 42 resulted in a citation.
“There is no use in coming to
city hall to try to get tthese tic
kets fixed,” Chief Logan said.
“We are not fixing any tickets
for speeding, and we are stop
ping anyone and everyone ex
ceeding the speed limit.”
Operating on a dry-cell bat
tery, the “whammy” is fool-proof
as far as human error is concern
ed.'* It can ,be used to cfodk speed
of cars going in either direction.
If two cars happen to hit the
cables at once, the hand on the
speed clock continues to move,
showing that a true reading has
not been taken. This is also true
in cases where the person operat
ing the device happens to push
the directional lever in the wrong
direction.
The two cables used in clock
ing speed are placed 66 feet a->
part, an improvement over older
models which were about 120 feet
and allowed the motorist suffi
cient braking time to cut speed
between the cables.
Measuring the distance care
fully, the officers stretch their
cables and weight them. One
man operates the clock and usu
ally two other police cars are
used to stop speeders.
The man operating the clock
watches the speed of each car.
If a speeder comes by, the dock
er radios the police car patrol
man the make, color and type of
car. The patrolman halts the
speeding vehicle and writes out
the citation.
Chief Logan said the "wham
my” would .be used primarily in
school and residential sections
where reports of speeding cars
have been received. He added
that the electrical speeding tim
er was purchased primarily as
a result of citizens’ complaints a
bout speeding inside the city
limits.
“We don’t want to arrest any
one for speeding, but it is a hab
it that a lot of people have got
ten into, and one that is going to
have to stop. I’m sure anyone
who drives at a reasonable rate
of speed will have no trouble
with the ‘whammy’,’’ Chief Lo
gan reported.
Beer-Selling Rap Beat In Court;
Mahoney Lashes Officer Cornwell
Monday's session of City Re
corder’s Court saw quite a bit of
action in an illegal possession of
beer for re-sale charge against
Daisy Schenck, local Negress.
Attorney John Mahoney and
Officer L. P. Cornwell engaged in
a bitter question - answer ses
sion concerning the circumstan
ces leading up to the arrest of
Mrs. Schenck.
Mahoney asked why a search
warrant had not been presented
when Cornwell took the beer
from the Schenck establishment.
He was told that the place was
a public cafe. However, it was
later established that the cafe
had been turned into a private
club some two or three weeks
prior to the raid.
Officer Cornwell testified that
, he went into the place and ask
ed Mrs. Schenck’s husband if
there was any liquor around. He
said he was told that they did
not have any liquor, hut that
there was some beer in the ice
box. Cornwell took the beer and
brought Mrs. Schenck to police
offices. This occurred on Decem
ber 28, but formal charges were
not brought until January 8, a
nother point hit hard by Attorney
Mahoney.
Chief Hugh A. Logan, Jr., testi
fied that Mrs. Schenck told him
she had been selling the beer,
but that she thought she was al
lowed to in a private club. Mrs.
Schenck denied this later on the
witness stand and said she told
the chief that the beer was there
for the members of the club.
Attorney Mahoney asked Offi
cer Cornwell how many persons
he had “had to beat up” while
making arrests in his three years
as an officer. Cornwell said he

Widow Conveys
Railway Stock
To Hospital
Mrs. Katherine Falls Frazier,
of Statesville, widow of Dr. Oliver
Green Falls*, late Kings Mountain
physician and industrialist, has
presented Kings Mountain Hos
pital a gift valued at more than
$2200 in memory of Dr. Falls.
Receipt of the gift—50 shares
of common stock of Southern
Railway Company — was an
nounce<f*jointly Wednesday by
Dr. W. L. Ramseur, former chief
of staff of the hospital, and Gra
dy Howard, hospital business
manager.
The stock was priced on t h e
New 'York Stock Exchange Wed
nesday morning at $43.87 per
share.
Mr. Howard said the county
board of hospital trustees was
to meet Wednesday night and
would accept the gift formally.
He said he anticipated that the
trustees would also vote to name
the hospital laboratory in mem
ory of Dr. Falls and would use
a portion of the gift to purchase
immediately a spectro-photome
ter, with flame attachment, for
the hospital laboratory. He said
such a machine costs about Sl.
OOO. Robert Gault, laboratory
technician, said the machine
would greatly improve the hos
pital’s laboratory services. Spe
cifically, Mr. Gault noted, the
spectro-photometer would enable
the hospital to perform 339 spe
cific laboratory tests, compared
to the 44 it can now make with
present equipment. In addition,
the new machine is regarded as
“accurate almost to the point of
perfection.”
Mrs. Frazier, who had previous
ly memorialized Dr. Falls by
equipping a hospital room here,
first contacted Dr. Ramseur, then
hospital chief of staff and a fam
ily friend, concerning memoriali
zing her husband. She forwarded
the Southern Railway stock cer
tificate to him this week.
Mr. Howard said Mrs. Frazier
told him she felt a gift to the hos
pital would properly honor Dr.
Falls “in view of his keen civic
interest in Kings Mountain.”
Dr. Falls was bom in the El
Bethel community on March 7,
1557. He studied medic! ie in Bal
timore, Md., and subsequently
practiced in the Cliffside com
munity of South Carolina, near
Spartanburg, before returning to
Kings Mountain around the turn
of the century to found Cora
Mills, Inc., which he served as
secretary - treasurer and general
manager. He never practiced
medicine formally after return
ing here, but Dr. Ramseur and
other citizens recall that many
times he used his medical train
ing in emergencies. He was a
member of Boyce Memorial ARP
church and a Mason. At his death
on April 6, 1930, he and his wife
lived in the residence now owned
by Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Gantt.
Mrs. Frazier has resided in
Statesville for many years, since
her subsequent marriage to the
late George B. Frazier.
