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:— Betty Scott, So.
