North Carolina, February 5, 1937. FIVE CENTS CROWD SEES NEW WING OF HOSPITAL ON OPENING DAY Nearly 700 Inspect $85,000 Ad dition to Moore County Institution FIND NOTHING WANTING Close to 700 persona decided Tues day afternoon that it wouldn’t be so bad after all to spend a few days in a hospital. Provided it was the Moore County Hospital. They came from all parts of the county to inspect the new wing of their institution. And they found it not only satisfactory. They found it inviting. They found hospital rooms that looked like home. Warmth. Coziness. Taste. Convenience. In fact they did n’t even look like hospital rooms. It was the hospital’s reception day, to give the public an opportunity to view the new $85,000 wing with its furnishings and equipment. The Pine- hurst Auxiliary had charge of the affair, and nothing could have run . off more smoothly. From the time . you arrived at the front door until you were bowed out you were a guest in all the meaning of the term. Young ladies of Aberdeen and Carthago and Pinehurst and Southern Pines and other sections of the county took you in tow and saw to it that you were fully acquainted with the com- munitiy’s latest investment in pub lic health. They led you through room after room of the newly com pleted addition, beautiful private rooms, the public wards, the service departments, the classrooms for nurses—all equipped in the latest hospital furnishings. And they gave you a cup of tea. a glass of punch, a sandwich, a piece of delicious choco late cake, and you left fully convinc ed not only that Moore county has a hospital to be proud of, bift people interested in maintaining it. There was no program. No need for one. The hospital belongs to the peo ple of Moore county, and they came | to see its much needed addition, a ^ wing which doubles its bed capaci- j ty and puts an end to a condition | j^’hich has existed for several years— ^ t he crowding of patients into inad- i equate quarters, the use of the sol- , arum as a ward, the enforced turn- j ing away of turnawayable cases— | never emergency cases, but postpon- able one.'!. They came to inspect their hospital, built with their tax money, with their private contribu tions, with the fruits of the labors of their auxiliaries, their birthday clubs, the generous aid from their government. And they found nothing ■wanting. There was no pi’ogram. But there was one higlilight. Twins, two little negro babies, were bom in the col ored ward just as the first visitors arrived. Yes, Mertis Headen of West ■End, Victor’s wife, gave birth to two , healthy youngsters. A symbol of the democracy of the institution. Your hospital.

C.. on New Year’r Day of Miss Isabel Holmes McMullen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. McMullen of Pinehurst and Hyannisport, Mass., to Thomas Gayle Johnston of Detroit, Mich. The young couple, both popular in the Sandhills, were here .luring the Christmas holidays. Their en^ gagement had been announced some time ago but news of their marriage came as a surprise to their many friends in this section. Mr. Johnston is a brother of Mrs. Lee R. Page of Knollwood, and has spent much time here during recent years. He atenr'ied Princeton Univer sity and play id end on the Vai sity eleven. He prepared fr>r College at Abeideen High School. Mrs. Johm;cri also attended Aber deen High School when a resident of Pinebluff, and later attended Smith College at Northampton. R. C. Zimmerman, principal of the Aberdeen Graded School district for the past five years, last week ten dered his resignation to the County Superintendent of Schools and the Aberdeen School Board. The resig nation will be acted upon at a special meeting of the Aberd^n board to be called this week, and its action re ferred to the County board. In his letter addressed to County Superintendent H. Lee Thomas and Chairman John Fiddner of the Aber deen board, Mr. Zimmerman said: “In accordance w’ith Section 161, Public Laws of 1923, I hereby tender my resignation as principal of Aber deen Graded School District, to take effect at the end of the I'equired thirty days notice. ,“To you and to my successor I tender my services at any time I can be of help. It is my intention to continue to reside in Aberdeen and I will be glad to assist whoever may succeed me in order that he may carry on the work without undue in terruption, until such time as lie thoroughly understands it. "I wish to thank you and your b ards for the courtesy and coopera tion you have shown me while act ing as principal of the Aberdeen School. It has been a pleasure to work with you. “I wish to take this opportunity to thank the parents of the District, fcr their help, without which It would have been impossible to car- ry on, especially through the dark days of the depression. “To the teachers I express my thanks for the splendid service you have rendered. I think you have worked harder this year than ever, with the result that we have a splen did school in spite of the fact that we do not have the means with which to provide the things that we feel that w^e need. “I have served as a principal for twenty years. No where have I en joyed‘serving the people more than I llclV? during the five years that I have been in Aberdeen. You ax <5 my friends and I will continue to ap preciate your Interest. “With every good wish, I am Yours truly, R. C. ZIMMSaiMAN. “VVe do not know yet all the fea tures of the 1937 Farm program but some of themi have been annoimced in the last few days,” said E. H. Gar rison. Jr., county agent, this week. “Just how base acreage for cotton and tobacco will be determined has not been fully decided but as soon as we know the information will be put out. “There are two features of the program which we could well afford to pay a little attention to now. Practically all farmers need more and better pastures. Some of those now called pastures are little more than exercising grounds for our cat tle. Is it any wonder that we have so many 'Coffee Cows’? Look up the rate below and see how much you will be allowed for seeding gcod pas tures this year. We also neglect our faini woodland. Why not thin out some of this timber and get a pay ment on this? This will certainly make the farm woodland look much better and at the same time furni.sh wood for the home and perhaps some for the tobacco barn. Mr. Graeber, Extension Forester, will be here a little later to ccnduct some of these thinning demonstrations. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity and use some of the soil building prac tices this year. Only about half our farmers did this during 1936.

HIGH SCHOOL .VDD $20 TO FLOOD REIJEF FUND Every day, it seems, there comes to notice newer and more exem plary demonstration of the char itable impulses of the people of this locality in connection with the Red Cross Flood Relief Cam paign for funds. Wednesday word came that the colored pupils of the West South ern Pines High School have, im- ■solicited taken up a collection for the flood sufferers totalling $20 07. Every child in school gave at least a penny. Robert L. Hart, president of the Southern Pines Chamber of Com merce announced late yesterday afternoon that cash donations to the county Red Cross fund were now over $4,800—in addition to $800 sent directly to Washington a day or so after the call for aid was broadcast. There are also 20 boxes of cloth ing at Southern Pines depot wait ing word from Washington as to where they will be most needed in the flood area.

Southern Pines Stores From j WiI.son County REVENUE RETAINED HERE Under a bill passed on third and final roll call in the State House of Representatives at Raleigh Wednes day, Wilson county would cea.se to operate the liquor stores in Pinehurst and Southern Pines, and Moore coun ty would operate these stores plus any others it wished, should its cit izens so vote. The House passed the bill calling for county option on the liquor ques tion in North Carolina. The vote was 67 to 43. The vote came after the wots had won a victory by a .scant margin of two votes in refusing to consider the Hutchins prohibition pro posal which provided fcr a State wide referendum on the question of banning the manufacture and sale of intoxicants in the state. On both mca.'iures lloore county’.? representative, J, Hawley Poole of West End, voted with the wets.
