BOY SCOUTS ERECTING LOG
CABIN
The Pinehurst troup of Boy Scouts,
under the leadership of Mr. Albert
Tufts, started work on their log cab
in Saturday afternoon. The cabin will
be erected by the swimming pool just
below the Parson school house, and
the boys expect to have it completed
within the near future.
It will be used as a meeting place
for the boys and will be equipped with
such utensils as they need to do their
cooking. The site, selected is an ideal
one for the camp, and the boys are
going about their work of building it
very enthusiastically.
The boys state that their prospects
are very bright for greatly enlarging
their troup in the near future, as all
the boys in the community are be
ginning to admire the pep and enthu
siasm displayed by the scouts during
the past two or three weeks, and
several within the age limit have al
ready evidenced a desire to qualify
and join.
MISS BETTY SCOTT WINS
The great Moore county election is
over and we are all relieved of the
g-eat suspense. This contest has been
the fairest yet held and the friends
of the many contestants have worked.
It was an inspiration Monday to see
the Girl Scouts trudging over from
Southern Pines with the final votes
for their friend and idol, Betty Scott.
These girls have been constantly
at work going into the highways and
byways seeking votes.
Francis McKeithen of Carthage
made a wonderful spurt and jumped
into second place while the three
“Gladyses” took third, fourth and fifth
places.
It has been a friendly contest and
let us all be on hand to give the win
ner a lusty cheer when she appears
in the Floral Parade.
Here is the final count:—
