ers of Mineral Springs Township in

The act was made effective upon
its ratification.
Complicated L«i\v
The next move on the part of those
desiring the establishment of a liquor
store in each of the two towns was
being discussed all this week in both
Pinehurst and Southern Pines, and it
is probable that petitions will be cir
culated in the near future. There is
some question as to the ways and
means of putting the measure in ef
fect here, due to its attachment to
the Pasquotank bill. Voters of that
county must approve the sale of li
quor before stores can be establish
ed and it is possible that the Issuance
of petitions here must await the ac
tion of the voters of Pasquotank
county, strange as it may seem.
State Sanator U. L. Spence bolds
the opinion that the act exempting
Pinehurst and Southern Pines from
the Turlington, or State dry law, is
legal, but putting it into effect here
may be complicr.tJd due to its tie-up
with the Paaquotank bill. It was nec
essary to get the Sandhills resort
towns exempted via the Pasquotank
route due to the lateness of the ses
sion of the legislature. The time for
introducing a special bill of exemp
tion for Pinehurst and Southern
Pines had passed before the legisla
ture began the approval of exemptions
for certain counties of the state.
The act passed fixes heavy penal
ties for violation of existing prohi
bition laws, the manufacture and
bootlegging of liquor, forbids the
drinking of alcoholic beverages on the
premises of the stores established,
the sale to minors or liquor addicts,
and gives full powers of management
and control to the Control Board es
tablished by the act.

The Pilot’s 1935 Cooking School
would probably be better na.’^ie.i
"Kitchen Show-," for it will bring to
Southern Pines the housewife’s ‘‘7th
Heaven” in modern kitchen equip,
ment and technique. This fascinating,
interesting and instructive event will
be held May 29th and 30th in the
Civic Club building at 2:30 o’clock
daily. There is no admission fee and
every home maker in this community
is cordially invited.
Mrs. Vivian Busho’ng, Home Service
Expert of the Carolina Power & Light
Company, will be in charge. Mrs.
Bushong has gained a wide reputation
for her skill and knowledge of home
economics. She has proven time and
time again that it is not merely a
theory taught in schools but practi
cal every day routine for the average
housewife. She makes it most enter
taining and Interesting, as those who
enjoyed her lectures here last year
will testify.
Menu planning for three meals a
day, party menus that are different,
a host of new electric range and re.
frigerator recipes, a practical demon
stration of proper home lighting—
these, together with economical mar
keting plans, will form the programs
during this two-day "kitchen show."
The Sadhllls’ most prominent
merchants are cooperating in this
1935 event.
FATHER HANN.\G.4N TELLS OF
WORK IN U. SOUTHERN PINE!'}
I
The Rev. Charles A. Lawrence will
be installed as pastor of the Manly
Presbyterian Church on Sunday even
ing, May 19, at 7:30 o’clock. The
members of the commission appoint
ed to Install Mr. Lawrence of the
Rev. W. S. Golden, who will preside,
ask the constitutional questions and
charge the pastor, the Rev. G. W.
Hanna, who will preach the sermon;
the Rev. R. G. Matheson, who will de
liver the charge to the people; the
Rev. M. D. McNeill, who will make
the installation prayer, and Elders
Gordon Cameron and W, C. Smith.
Father Charles Hannagan, in an
address Wednesday to the Kiwanis
Club at the Pinehurst Community
House told the members of the work
that was being done in West Southern
Pines for Negro welfare. Father Han
nagan informed the club that the
Catholic Church had during the past
few months acquired property in
West Southern Pines and had built a
very modem school for the training
of Negro servants. In addition, the
property has been landscaped and
considerable money has been spent in
beautifying the property.
He further stated that before ac
quiring the property very extensive
planning had been done and with the
very highly organized organization it
was his hope to be able to render a
very useful service to the commun
ity. He spoke of the Sandhills being
one of the prettiest sections he had
ever visited and from the standpoint
of the Sandhills being one of the out
standing resort regions of the coun
try It was equally important that the
servants who are largely Negroes be
trained.
Southern Pines is to have a CCC
camp. Of 33 new camps assigned to
District A, composed cf most of North
Carolina, four have been allotted to
Fort Bragg, one of which will be
based on Southern Pines. Raeford will
be the headquarters of the other three.
Fort Bragg already has one encamp
ment.
A report from Fayetteville says
that three of the new camps will be
on the edge of the government’s res
ervation, in the vicinity of the old
Preacher’s road, the Raeford-Vass
road and Moore’s campground. The
fourth will be located near James
Creek, close to Southern Pines.
Eight hundred additional CCC work
ers will be brought here for the four
camps, some 200 being assigned to
the Southern Pines camp.
It is believed here that the local
camp will occupy land near the
Johnson millpond on the old Yadkin
road out past the Goodwill place, to
be approached via Youngs Road. If it
follows the scheme of other CCC
camps, such as the one at Jackson
Springs, barracks will be construct
ed and other essential buildings for
the use of the men, the men doing
the work themselves. The coming of
the camp should stimulate considera
ble business for the community, both
in building materials and in food pro
ducts and other essentials for the
men encamped there.
More Reser\e Officers
There are at present approximately
7.000 North Carolina boys in CCC
camps, and it is probable that this
number will be increased to at least
12.000 under the plan to raise the to
tal membership from something over
200.000 to 600,000.
This will also probably result in
more than doubling the number of
reserve officers who will be assigned
to active duty with the camps.
Although the number of camps will
be more than doubled and the num
ber of officers will be made twice the
present strength, it does not neces
sarily follow that the rank and file
of personnel will be doubled, as it
is likely the number of men on new
projects will not be so great as the
number in camps already established.
The recruiting will be done some
time between June 15 and August
31. The biggest change In qualifica
tions is an Increase of the maximum
age limit from 25 to 28 years.
It also Is likely many of the ad
ditional youths will come from fami
lies not on relief rolls. It is expected,
however that an effort will be madf
to obtain young men whose financial
condition is such as to cause the em-
plojonent to make for rehabilitation.

union of babies born in the Moore
County Hospital on the occasion of
the lawn party held on the hospital
grounds last Sunday afternoon. In all,
some 500 persons attended the fete
and enjoyed "the baby show.” The
youngsters, in turn, enjoyed tie ice
cream, cake and cookies passed out

will be available later.
Town Officials, Chamber of Com
merce Directors and Land
owners To Discuss Program
Owners of rentable homes and
apartments .in Southern Pines are to
be Invited to meet with officials of
the town and directors of the Cham
ber of Cor. merce at a meeting to
be held next Tuesday noon to dis
cuss ways and means of making more
attractive the available quarters for
winter residents here. The meeting
is being called by the Chamber and
among ihose expected to attend will
be Mayor Stutz, the town commis
sioners, r r. W. C. Mudgett and others
who have been discussing the sub
ject for some time.
One of the interested parties told
j The Pilot this week that though
Southern Pines has gone a long way
in making the town attractive from
the standpoint of good streets, good
water supply, attractive planting and
landscaping, there is yet much to be
dene in the Improvement of homes
-and apartments for lease to winter
guests. This meeting on Tuesda.v is
to be an informal one to talk over
what might and what can be done to
improve present houses and apart
ments and make them more attrac
tive, and possibly to make available
more quarters for the seasonal visi
tors.
“Southern Pines is becoming more
and more popular as a winter resi
dence for the type of people who like
to spend considerable time In the
south and who want to rent attrac
tive houses or apartments,” he said.
We should put our heads together
and see what can be done to take
advantage of these prospects, for they
are the kind of people we want. They
stay all winter and patronize our
shops, and in many instances, they
decide to make permanent homels
here and become awners of real es
tate.”
The meeting will be an open one,
with everyone interested invited. It
will be called to order at HighMnd
Lodge at 12:15 next Tuesday noon,
with a special luncheon to be served
by Mrs. Grearson.
PRE-SCHOOL CUNIC HERE
TH’O DAYS NEXT W1EEK
At its meeting Wednesday morn
ing the Pinehurst Auxiliary of the
Moore County Hospital unanimously
voted to donate $2,400 toward the
new wing of the hospital building.
Appreciating the need of the pro
poned new wing at the institution,
now forced to turn many needy cases
away for lack of beds and facilities,
the members of the auxiliary in vot
ing the donation expressed the hope
that this substantial boost to the fund
for the construction would make peo
ple realize the dire need of the ad
dition and serve as a stimulus to
further generous contributions. Plans
for the wing are being drawn and
the hospital board has approved of
the construction as soon as the nec
essary funds are available. It is hop
ed to raise at least $40,000 for the
project, with some support anticipat
ed from the Duke Foundation.
The Pinehurst Chapter of the Hos
pital Auxiliary has had a most suc
cessful year. Its Charity ISall netted
j $1,100, and the matinee races put on
I for the benefit of the auxiliary by H.
I Stacy Smith made $600 more. These
j sums, with the regular membership
drive and private donations made pos
sible this large contribution toward
the new wing.
$1,000 in Treasury
In addition to its present gift, the
auxiliary at Pinehurst has $1,000 in
I its treasury to furnish needed sup
plies and apply some necessary paint
j to the hospital during the summer.
I Great credit is due the members
! whose enthusiasm and hard work
: have made the year’s program such a
pronounced success.
I Dr. J. Symington, county health of-
I ficer, spoke at Wednesday’s meeting.
! He said that he examined every
[ school child in Moore county every
' other year, which is as often as he
j can make the rounds. After examina-
I tion the child is given a paper signed
by him stating every defect found
and asking that the child be taken to
the family physician ov the hospital
for treatment. He urged a system of
follow-up work in this connection,
and expressed the hope that the mo
tor corps committees of the various
hospital auxiliaries throughout the
county would take charge of this
phase of the work, providing trans
portation to and from the hospital
for the children who need it.
The success of the work of the
Pinehurst auxiliary during the past
year is expected to result in renewed
vigor on the part of all auxiliaries in
the county this year, which will mean
much to the hospital and to general
health work In the county.
The yearly pre-school clinic will be
held in the new building of the South
ern Pines School on next Wednesday,
May 22 and on Friday May 24 at
9:30 o’clock. Dr. J. Symington, Coun
ty Health Officer, will be in charge of
the clinic.
All parents who have children en
tering public school for the first time
*iext year are urged to take them to
the clinic and have them vaccinated.
No child will be admitted to the pub
lic school in Southern Pines next fall
without a vaccination certificate.
