Green Hill Honors Memory Of Late President
By Clint Fuller
Frank Wheless would have
been the last to agree to this
story being printed. He would
have liked the Idea ot the Golf
Tournament being played this
iNk at Green Hill Country
Club In honor of his memory,
although chances are he would
have shied away from It being
called the Frank Wheless
Tournament.
Frank Wheless died on Au
gust 4, 1963 while serving as
President of the local country
club. He had held the position
more often and longer than any
other member. In the long
history of the local club, Frank
Wheless was often called to
steer the organization through
rough times. He was doing so
at the time of his death.
Hanging on the wall of the
Fellowship Room of the club,
planned during his last term
as president, Is a bronze pla
que which reads, "In Memory
Of Frank W. Wheless, Jr. for
devoted service In building
Green Hill Country Club Dur
ing the Years Prior To 1963."
Those who served with him
on the Club Board and those
with whom he shared pleasant
hours on the rolling green
golf course, ofteri stop to read
this Inscription and to remem
ber the man who was truly
"Mr. Green Hill Country
Club."
He would be the first to deny
that It was his efforts which
devel6ped what was once a
one-room hut into one of the
finest private clubs In this
section of the country. To a
degree, he would be right.
There were others. Many
others who contributed to Its
development. Some of these
were leaders and through their
guidance caused the club to
grow. Those whose member
FRANK W WHELESS, JR.
. . . dedicated
ships date back a few years
will remember many, some
of whom are no longer with
us. However, none stand quite
as tall when Green Hill history
Is mentioned as does the name
Frank Wheless.
Since he gave so much of his
time and his talents to the
betterment of this facility, It
Is befitting that a special event
should be named In his honor.
And since his last efforts were
directed toward Increasing the
Interest of the ladle? and chil
dren of the club In the game of
golf, It Is also appropriate
that It be a women's tourna
ment which bears his name.
Around fifteen women par
ticipated Wednesday and today
In the Frank Wheless Tour
nament. Of Interest, alto, Is
the fact that at least this many
youngsters were also playing
the course, at the same time.
The Interest In golf and club
activities, so desired by the
late president, has taken ?.
shape. More people are en- I
joying Green Hill Cbuntry Club
today than at any other time In
Its long history. The facilities
are excellent and Its continued
progress is assured.
A share of stock In the club
today Is worth many times
what It originally cost the
member. It Is perhaps the
most beautiful area In the
entire county. The well-kept
fairways and tricky greens are
a delight to hoards of golfers,
both members and green-fee
golfers alike.
Oldsters, who had long since
given up the game, have re
turned to play. Youngsters,
who yesterday were looking
something to do, are today
taking up golf.
The area's only swimming
pool Is a well-looked-after
recreation center for mem
bers and their families. Two
life guards are on duty; one
Is present throughout the
pool's operating hours. Club
facilities for parties and
meetings are vastly Improved
over what was available a few
years ago. '?
How much of all this should
be credited to the late Frank
Wheless Is a matter for con
sideration by each member of
the club. Perhaps others could
have given the same leader
ship, but few have done so.
None have given the dedication
and love to the club which per
sonified the late president.
Whatever amount of credit
might be due lies In the hearts
of those who share his feeling
for the club. The Tournament
being played this week In his
name says that there are many
who feel that what Frank Whe
less did for Green Hill should
not be forgotten.
We feel this way, too.

Ington OEO officials have re
peatedly defended their
actions In hiring him In view
of Ms past record.
The announcement of
Cheek's resignation vas re
ported from Washington by
Wes Hayden, news corres
pondent for WRAL-TV In Ra
leigh, who first disclosed the
situation In the Warren county 1
organisation. Hayden also re
ported that Cheek had resigned
In Wednesday's Durham
Morning Herald. However, the
resignation had not been con
firmed until telegrams were
received In the area from
Congressman Fountain.
Fountain's wire states:
"Appropriate federal autho
rities have confirmed ac
ceptance of the realgnatlon of
Charles A. Cheek as business
msnager for federally
supported Warrenton Head
Start program. However, 1
will still Insist that appro- i
prlate federal authorities pro
vide the full explanation pre
viously requested as to how '
and why the appointment was
made and what is being done
to prevent a repetition of such
a situation."
Cheek reportedly received
$560 monthly In the position,
and his resignation, accord
ing to Washington reports, was J
for the "good of the program." ,
