The party was originated six years ago by the Rev. T. G. Hum phries. Now that he has moved to another part of the state, it was carried on this year under auspi ces of the Southern Pines Rotary club, with Russell Lorenson as chairman. About a dozen members and their guests went to the camp in four cars. They found 96 men at the camp, including many “old offenders” and some youths serv ing their first sentences. Songs, a brief talk by the’ Rev. Charles V.. Covell and the distri bution of gifts featured the event. Mrs. L. D. McDonald, organist at the Church of Wide Fellowship, played accompaniments for the songs on the prison camp piano, as she has each year since the party’s inception, Tom Cordon, a special guest, sang several Christ mas selections, then the whole group joined in the singing of carols. Mr. Covell in his talk empha sized the symbolism of love and hope seen dn the traditional signs of Christmas—the bells, the Star and the gifts, reminders of the great Gift given the world in the birth of Christ. Hope and good cheer were keynotes of his talk. The gifts consisted of fruit, candy, nuts, pipes, cigarettes and tobacco, and for each man a small testament. Several of the men expressed their appreciation for the “party,” the only attention paid them dur ing the year by an outside organ ization. Some of those who went from here said it was the most deeply touching experience of the season for them, and fhey hope to see it continued from year to year. General Marshall Will Be Speaker at jPinelmrst Forum I • I Gen. George C. Marshall will be the speaker at the Pinehursit Fo- |rum next Thursday evening, in a program whose audience will be limited to Forum subscribers and their especially invited guests. Dr. DeWitt B. Nettleton, Forum pesident, in making the an nouncement said he regretted that the program cannot be thrown open tc- the public as is the cus tom with Forum events. However, he said, though the Pinehurst Country club, where the pro grams take place, is large, its seating capacity is of necessity limited, and it cannot possibly ac commodate all who would want to hear General Marshall speak. ‘We have had some splendid attractions in the past, but it is, seldom indeed that any group has the opportunity to present a speaker of the calibre of General. Marshall, whom everyone in the j world would like to hear,” he | said. “In fairness to the Forum i subscribers, who by their contri butions make these entertain ments possible, we must this time | specify admission by card only.’’ He said cards will be sent to all subscribers, and must be used to gain admission. The privilege of hearing Gen eral Marshall,, president of the American Red Cross, former U. S Army Chief of Staff and Secre tary of State, arises from the fact that he is a Pinehurst winter res ident and recently arrived at his home here, Liscombe Lodge, to stay until the middle of January. tions. It contains his desk, the files and materials of the Cham ber, and sufficient spaed and seat ing for directors meetings and other conferences. A 'Smaller connecting room has been given its own entrance and turned over to the increasing ac tivities of the Merchants associ ation. Mrs. James Prim, secretary, has her desk. Credit Bureau files and telephone in this office. which has been brightened with new wallpaper in ivy design arid a light green carpet. Her new phone has the number 7345 arid Lloyd T. Clark, Merchants Assoc iation president, requests that those telephoning on busiriess of the association use this number. Since much of the business is con fidential, in relation to credit re ports, a private line has been in stalled. Santa, Musicians Visit Patients At Moore Hospital Chamber, Merchants Offices Are Separated Remodeling of the Chamber of Commerce offices at the Belve dere hotel was completed last week to give separate space for the activities of the Chamber and its affiliate, the Merchants asoc- iation.

One Lot 1-2 Price (These Prices Do Not Apply To Fair Trade Merchandise) ALL COSTUME JEWELRY 1-2 Price JEWELERS Patients and staff at the Moore County hospital were gladdened on Christmas morning by the tra ditional Santa Claus party of the Moore County Hospital auxiliary. At 10:30 o’clock a plump jolly Santa made his way from room to roorri, accompanied by his band of musicians and Sam, the orderly wheeling a cart piled high with flowers and gifts. With the merry group was Mrs. Katherine McColl, representing the auxiliary, greet ing each person and wishing them a happy Christmas, also Miss El len Bruton, superintendent of nurses, acting as a guide. Santa spread his special brand of Christmas cheer and the mu sicians, Buster Doyle, Bob Miller and Todd Baxter, played all the favorite tunes of the day, obliging also each patient who had a re quest for a special selection. They serenaded the two nursesies with Brahms Lullaby, softly played. Orchids were given each pri vate-room patient the contribu tion of Mrs. W. A. Way, of the Carolina Orchid Growers, contin uing a tradition of long standing. Gifts for all other patients and also the “help” were given and wrapped by the Junior Red Cross, under Mrs. Hugh Carter. Doctors and nurses received red roses, personally pinned on by Santa. For many years the party has been conducted for the auxiliary by Mrs. J. Talbot Johnson, with Mr. Johnson as Santa Claus. This year, in the absence of the John sons, who are on i vacation cruise, Mrs. McColl and Dr. Michael Pishko successfully took their places. The musicians were the same as performed this happy chore last year. The inability of the ' domestic market to consume all our produc tion is “again becoming the dom inant and decisive factor in con sumption, farm prices, and farm income,” Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan declared in a recent talk. PILOT ADVERTISING PAYS!
