Pending Repletion
Of Treasury
The treasury of the Southern
Pines Chamber of Commerce saw
a little increment this week, as
collections were made from a
number of members whose dues
were in arrears. The employment
of another manager any time
soon, to replace Col. P. G. Shear
man, who resigned last week,
will in a large measure depend
on how well dues and renewals
come in, said Harry Fullenwider,
president.
He feels, he said, that the
Chsimber can get along for a
while, if necessary, with the serv
ices of Mrs. Madeline Prim, office
secretary. In the meantime, ten
tative negotiations are being
made with Arch Coleman, who
has expressed interest in the job
and in whom, Mi-. Fullenwider
said, the Chamber is extremely
interested.
Until the Chamber can afford
to work out a salary arrangement
with him Mr. Coleman will assist
in its work from time to time,
learning the set-up with a view to
taking over if, as and when there
are funds to pay him. “We hope
very much this can be

out,” said President Fullenwider.
Mr. Coleman is well qualified
for the work by virtue of his ex
perience, personality and know
ledge of the Sandhills and South
ern- Pines.”
Mr. Coleman is now working
with Radio Station WEEB and
may be able to combine the two
jobs.
Credit To Shearman
A list of the Chamber’s accom
plishments of the past few
months has been prepared to help
in collection of dues and securing
new memberships. Full credit in
the sizeable list of achievements
was given to Colonel Shearman
who, the president said, “did a
splendid job and is sorely missed.
We regret very much,” he added,
“that we were unable to keep
him, as he 'miade himself well
liked, worked hard and accom
plished much for the town and
the Chamber in the past half
year.”
The list includes:
Decoration and lighting of the
town at Christmas, with the hold
ing of a window display contest;
preparation of brochures for the
Air Force Academy site commit
tee and for invitations to indus-
Funeral services for Edgar
Adlai Ewing, Commander, USNR,

of Pinehurst.
The services were private. ]
