r Page Six i)ick Sugg Wins Low Net Trophy In League Event Southern Pines Team Cops Series And ' Tournament Honors THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina Friday. June 16. 1950 Plea Made For Cooperation With Men Who Build And Repair N. C. Highways ^ —————— : Southern Pines, winner of the Sandhills Golf League tournament held during April and May, came out with top honors in the League’s final all-day tournament at the Southern Pines Country club last Wednesday, when Dick Sugg beat out 140-odd players for low net. Mr. Sugg, a 14-handicap man, made 78 for a net of 64. Runner up was Marion McCall, of Laurinburg. With the excep tion of Mr. McCall, all honors awarded at the close of the day went to members of the Southern Pines team. Trophies were awarded four players, with Bill Woodward’s 73 making him top man. George Pottle and Ellis Howell, tied for second place with 74, flipped a coin to settle their tournament standing. Pottle came out second, Howell third, and John Pottle was fourth with 76. Trophies were awarded at a buffet supper held at the club. The League trophy came to the local team for its showing of five wins and three losses in eight suc cessive weekly matches. Others in the League—^Richmond County, Laurinburg, Lumberton and Wadesboro Country club teams— had four wins, four losses each. It was an exceptionally well match ed tournament and rated one of the best in the three-year history of the League. The Laurinburg team was host for the Wednesday event. Pinehurst-Sandhills Firm Is Incorporated By H. D. JONES Director of Safety. North Caro lina State Highway and Public Works Commission This is a highway safety mes sage written from a viewpoint that few motorists have ever con sidered. It is a plea to the high way user to cooperate with the men who build and maintain our highways in eliminating what might be called unnecessary high way accidents. It could be very simple. Highways are dangerous. Every year the roads and streets of America exact a grim toll of death and injury to say nothing of un told millions lost in property dam age. Highways are inadequate. Sen ator O’Mahoney’s Joint Congres sional committee in studying our national highway needs, reports that it will require $41 billion to correct the present deficiencies, if this correction could be done im mediately by waving a wand. Spread the work out over a 10 year period and the estimate leaps 35 per cent to $55 billion. North Carolina has an excellent highway system, but we are well aware that it is a long way from being adequate. The fact that a $200,000,000 road bond issue was approved by the voters Ikst year shows that there is much to be done in the way of improvement. Heedless Behavior Cyrus Butler Is Named Manager of Sanford Concern If these motorists confined their resentment to dirty looks, all might still be well. But they are usually more positive, in their re action. They run through and around barricades. If we are cen- t^rlining a road, they swing back and forth across the painted lines and you can imagine the mess that makes. Certificate of incorporation has been granted by the Secretary of State, and filed at Carthage, for the Pinehurst-Sandhills In- surance and Realty company, to deal in the business of general in surance and real estate with prin cipal office at Pinehurst. Total authorized capital stock is $100,000, in 2,000 shares of $50 par value each. Stockholders, with one share each, are listed as H. G. Phillips, Vivian R. McKen zie, J. D. Hobbs and 1. C. Sledge. Human Nature It is human nature for motor ists to resent anything that inter feres with their plans and pro gress. Signs such as “Detour,” “Road Under Construction,” “Men at Work” are all very well for the other fellow. This piotorist is in a special hurry. Such impedi ments dont apply to him. Get your silly barricades out of the way- . j The inevitable result—a twisted mass of wreckage in the ditch with state police and an ambu lance standing by. And very of ten a highway maintenance man killed or maijned through his trust in a warning sign which went unheeded. The public does pay for the up keep of the highway through the gas tax, license fees and other im posts. This gives many drivers the feeling that -“They own the road” which could be literally true. But they carry it further to the point of considering it a per sonal affront to put it right is felt to ’*e an infringement on the rno- tor^’n' inalienable right to life, liberty” and the pursuit of happi- If we are sealcoating or retreat ing a roadway half at a time, the disgruntled motorist will swing oyer into the freshly sprayed blacktop, wrapping it around his tires. If cover has been applied, he will speed up to kick off or slap on his brakes to see how much of the surface he can shove off before it has a chance to chill and take final set. If we put out rubber dummies to protect the freshly painted cen ter lines, motorists make a game of seeing how many they can knock over. If wood blocks are used instead and one happens to blow a tire, the driver regards it as having been done with malice aforethought by the road gang. Not All Accused Don’t misunderstand me. I am not accusing all motorists of such boorish actions. But they happen frequently enough to present a serious problem and a definite traffic hazard to our maintenance crews. A little consideration by the highway user would go far to ward making the highways safe for the men who work on them. We continually remind our em ployees that because they are working for the state government, they should set an example of road courtesy, good manners and careful driving. Our records show that they follow these instructions more each year. Since we realize that for every one hundred accidents on the job there are one hundred and twenty The board of directors of the General Foundry and Machine company of Sanford last week an nounced the appointment of Cy rus O. Butler, of Southern Pines, as vice-president and general managGr of the company. E. B. Keith, treasurer of the company, has been acting mana ger since February of 1949. An official of the firm said this addition to the staff of General Foundry and Machine company has been desired because of the industry’s expanding operations. Mr. Butler’s background, it was pointed out, assures the company of a well rounded and able board of directors. Mr. Butler, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Bion Butler, of Southern Pines, is a partner of Matthews and Butler, consulting engineers of Laurinburg; A graduate of North Carolina State college in chemical engi neering, he was for 16 years asso ciated with -Tennessee Eastman company of Kingsport, Tenn., where he was «in charge of the spinning of acetate rayon. Worsham And Little Form Nash Agency A partnership agreement be tween C. L. Worsham and George B. Little, of Southern Pines, was filed recently at the office of the clerk of court at Carthage, to con duct a Nash automobile sales agency under the name of the Worsham and Little Motor com pany, in the garage building of the Little Motor company on East Broad street. By terms of the agreement, the concern was to start out with Mr, Worsham as full time sales man ager, and Mr. Little as keeper of the books and records and in charge of the parts department, servicing and repairs to be done by the Little Motor company.
