A., the Na tional Catholic Community Ser vice, the Salvation Army, the Jewish Welfare Board and the National Travelers Aid Associa tion. In the last World War, each of these organizations solicited funds and ran its own program independently of the others. In order to avoid this duplication of effort, overlapping of activities! and unnecesfsary expense, these! organizations, through their leaders, have joined their efforts for all war and defense activities in the United Service Organiza tions. This will mean greater ef ficiency, better results and much less expense. The Army and Navy are re sponsible for our bovs while thev are on dutv or in the camps and Selective Ser^-ice reservations, but when they physical detects and leave for week-ends and visit the P^^y^'caiiy sub-par youths nearby communities, the Govern- siven an oppoitunity to im- ment does not and cannot assume, Physical any responsibility for them. Jlost '^ceiving expenenc of our boys are stationed in camps adjacent to small com munities, which, in themselves, are unable to provide proper rec reational facilities. It has been thoroughly demonstrated that the great majority of boys in the service look for and gladly wel come decent amusement and clean recreation. If, however, this is not available, they will be amused and accept whatever kind is at hand, which, of course, is of the indecent and sullied sort.

Nettles, who presided over a term of criminal court in Moore county last week and who is on the l>ench for this week’s civil terra. The Grand Jury had previously or dered that the tax list be compared with the selective service roll, and the body reported that the check-up re vealed a number of citizens who had not listed their taxes. The list of names was turned over to the Court for further orders. The Grand Jury recommended that all jurors be paid a minimum of $3 per day for their service, this In ad- Alltion to the present mileage sche dule in effect. The county institutions were found in good condition. A few minor re pairs to the interior and exterior of the court house were recom mended, but the building was found to be much cleaner than when examined be fore. Six bu.s replacements were recom mended in the January report, and the Superintendent of Education told the Grand Jury that this would be taken care of before the next school I term.

Nothing can be more heartening to the boys in the •service than to know that our citizenship is squarely and en thusiastically behind them. Noth ing can cement our citizenship together better than a concerted effort of this sort to show the dictators that we are as against them. Ten-months-old Maiy Jo Williams of Vas.s was unscratched in an auto mobile accident in which her father, C. H. Williams, driver of the car, her mother, grandmother, three uncles and an aunt were injured Saturday night about 10:30 o'clock as they were returning fiom Rockingham. Their car collided with one occupied by two Negro men. Bowden brothers of Nor man, about six miles from Jackson Springs. The injured are Mr. Williams, one leg broken in two places, chest crush ed and back injured; Mrs. Williams, minor abtasions on face and legs; her mother, Mrs. M. G. Cooper, dis located hip; Wade Cooper, 18, cuts on face and neck that required 25 stitches; Thelma Cooper, 15, broken ,leg; George Cooper, H, fractured arm; Tom Coper, 9, foot injury. They I weie taken to the Mocre County Hos- ‘ pital. ! All except Mr. Williams. Mrs Coop- I er and Thelma Cooper were able to leave the hospital after having their wounds dres.sed, Mr. Williams is the most seriously injured of the group. One of the colored men had his f.ead crushed and teeth knocked out. He was carried to the Hamlet Hospi- , tal and his "brother was lodged in the I Richmond county jail. M. G. Cooper, husband and father I of the wre';n. victims, was fatally in- ' jured in a wreck just before last I Christmas. BAR\\(K)I) HOI SK SOLD TO «F.OR<iE T. .M'KIJ)ERK^ I A transaction of interest to the j people of Southern Pines and its vi- Icinity was consummated through the I agency of A. S. Newcomb Realty last iweek whereby Mr. and Mrs. George It. M'Elderry became the owTiers of I the former Barwood property jit 45 East Connecticut avenue. Built by the late Rev. Dr. M. A.

Well, a member, anonymous so far, of the Southern Pines Library has been making a practice of noting, in pencil, in the text of books belonging to the Li brary his, or her, preference In the use of ccrtaln words and construc tions when such preference differs from that of the book’s author. These pencil marks resemble correc tions made in proof and are mostly directed at the use of "neither . . . nor”, "not . . . nor," and the pro noun 'me" as the object of the verb "to be." Although in many Instances they are. In point of strict grammar, right, they are, at the same time, wrong in "coiTecting" what the au thor intends as colloquial speech or what has been sanctioned by usage. And they are always in error in changing "or" to "nor'' when the verb Ts resoolved and the auxiliary serves both clauses: e. g., "He neith er moves nor speaks," which of course is correct, beconi?s. with the verb resolved. “He does not move or speak." (See "Nor" In Fowler's Mod ern Engli.sh Usage.) In any case, otner readers have been annoyed, in varying degrees, by these “corrections," and the officers and trustees of the Library would re quest, through the courtesy of The Pilot, that our grammarian, when at odds with hi.s author, refrain from 'narking him up. —ALMET JENKS.

Suit Againsl (’ameron Men Out come of Death Caused by Truck Wreck JvKlgment in the amount of $1,000 was awarded Thonia.s L. Caddell, ad- mini.Htrntor of Clarence Caddell, against A. P. Phillips, J. A. Phillips and L. B. McKelthen of Cameron in Moore county Superior Court last week in a suit arising from the death of Clarence Caddell In a truck wreck at Acme .several months ago. Young Caddell was a helper on a truck upon which fertilizer was haul ed and was, according to the allega tions, asleep on the truck when Joe White, the driver, carelessly drove It again.<<t the side of a bridge. The tinck exploded and burned up, the plaintiff alleged, and Clarence Cad dell was so badly burned that he died about eight, dnys later. In the case of C. G. Cummings versus B. L. Cooper, Elder Motor Company and Kate C. Cujnmings, the plaintiff is to recover of B. L. Cooper the sum of $.50 with Interest from October 2, 1939, $136 with in terest from February 7, 1940 and $7 with interest from October 2 1939. He w-as declared the owner of th« mule described in a chattel mort gage. By con.sent, J. Vance Rowe was appointed as a referee to hear the evidence of the plaintiffs .ind de fendants in a case entitled County of Moore, J. W. Davis and wife, J. H. Scott, administrator c. t. a. ver sus E.

Charred animals, birds, and nests are part of the fearful toll of for est fires. More than nine out of ten fires in North Carolina are caused by human carelessness. Every citizen is the loser when fires sweep through our woodlands. one THE MEDICAL ISSUE On Friday, April 4. a Feder al Grand Jury in Washington, D. C., found the American Medical Association guilty of “a crim inal conspiracy to restrain trade.” The decision has been ap pealed, and it is estimated that at least two years will pass be fore the final word is said by the Supreme Court. In the mean time, ever>’ citizen is vitally con cerned with the issues at stake. The principal issue is simply this: The right of physicians to control and influence the qualifi cations of hospital staffs, and to determine education and ethical standards for the rendering of medical care. That is a matter which has to do with the health and physical well-being of us all. Here in the United States, the quality of medical care has reached a level unequaled any where else in the world. Here in the United States, the average doctor is far better qualified to treat the sick, than his counter part in any other country. Here in the United States, the finest type of medical care is available In eleven months' time since the de fense program first got under way, ■Vmerican industry's output increased 24 per cent. This is a larger increase in productive output than during any ether similar period in our manufac turing history. , From Other Papers to rich and poor alike. Here in the United States, a.stounding progress has been made by the medical fraternity in fighting the great scourges of mankind. That has ben the product of the American medical system. It is a .system whereby the medi cal fraternity itself has had the basic right to control the train ing of internes, to establish standards of qualifications, and to see to it that the men who staff hf.pitals are able to prop erly care for the patients that come to them. Those rights have ben consid ered essential to the safeguard ing of the public. Is the medical profession to be forced to discard systems of ethics, codes of conduct, and standards of qualifications which have g'rown through the years in response to public need? That is the grave question which this case raises. BEST OF lA’CK About the biggest ne\s-s breaking in Southern Pines is a mighty long while is the announcement that James Boyd, the novelist, has active ly identified himself with that com munity by purchasing controlling in terest in The Pilot, our esteemed weekly contemporary. Mr. Boyd is a national figure whos.’ voice com mands weight and attention. Thous ands all over the nation will watch his publishing venture with an in terest that followed the late Sher wood Anderson's operation of a Vir ginia weekly. It will be advertising for Southern Pines that monf*y will not buy. It is our guess, too, that the entire county will enjoy a zesty, di verting editorial page under Mr. Boyd's direction. While congratulating Southern Pines on Its new publisher, It is really a pleasure to know that Mr. Nelson C. Hyde will continue his con nection with the paper. We wish both Mr. Boyd and Mr. Hyde the best of luck In their team-up. —Moore County News, Carthage FOR BARGAINS FURNITURE See Alton D.
