Ii= i) Liberty Bell Rings In Southern Pines jMaSS Jump And To Promote Iiidependenee Bond Drive Display Set For -w-^TT 1 The deep-toned note of the Lib erty bell rang put oyer Southern Pines Tuesday morning, climax ing a program dedicated to the achievement of personal and fam.- ily independence, through invest ment in U. S. Savings bonds. The bell was riot that of Rev olutionary lame but it was near enough: an exact replica m size, material arid tone, one of 52 cast and contributed by the great U. S. copper companies. The ^amous crack was even painted realistici- callv down one side. Mounted on a Ford truck showing the colors of red, white and blue, it came into town undtr police escort at 10 a. m. and took up a three-hour stand in front of the city hall. Madtial miisic sounded Sforth from an amplified recorder, and children and adults quickly gath- ere about. At 11 a program was presented as arranged by L. u. Stevens county U. S. Savings Bond chairman, emphasizing the Independence drive for bond sales which is under way on a nation wide scale this month. Presented by Announcer War ren Mr. Stevens presented Mayor C N Page; D. L. Madigan, rep resentative of the Southern Pines Elks lodge; N. L. Hodgkins pres ident of the Citizens Bank and Trust company; J. W. Moore, pnn- cipal of the West Southern Pines school; Garland Pierce, represent ing the Southern Pines Rotary club a#id also the post office, a bond sales agency; Mrs. Ar&ur Thomas, secretary of the Bru Does, and Garland McPherson, president of the Sandhills Kiwan- is club. All spoke briefly on the bene fits of investment of savings in U. S. government bonds, the world’s safest investment, paying dividends not only in cash ^t in security and peace of mind. 'Those who save regularly,through ac- ouisition of the bonds, they said, help both their country and them selves. Local Boy Scouts did duty as guards during the visit of the bell. These were given the privilege of pulling the heavy blue cord which rang it. ending the half-hour pro gram. Scout David Woodruff pro duced the first peal. Others, in- ' eluding several of the bystanders, then had their turn. The citv hall block was deck ed wtih flags for the occasion. The truck, one of a fleet loaned bv the Ford company, departed with its unique cargo at 1 p. m., to tour through Aberdeen, Pine- hurst and Carthage before stop ping for an afternoon program at Sanford.

Future Officers Train Next Week At Pope AFB of The nationally famous Rbbert Shaw Chorale has been engaged for a' concert at the Southern Pines Auditorium next March un der sponsorship of the ,-andhills Music Association, it was ari- nounced this week by the group s chairman, Voit Gilmore. The Chorale, wnich will be making its second cjoss-country tour, is composed of 32 picked voices, augmented by a chamber music ensemble. It presents a va ried program of choral singing, ranging fromi Bach to songs of the American musical theatre. Only 35, Shaw has already achieved fame as director of Fred Waring’s radio glee club and also as founder and director of the Col legiate Chorale which has per formed with Toscanini, Stokovv ski, Kousseyitzky and other lead ing conductors. His group been called the finest of its kihd by many music critics. This program is one, of a series scheduled for next season by .the Sandhills Music Association. Tickets for the series will be put on sale next fall, Mr. Gilmore said More activity was discerned among the county candidates in two races this week than among the workers for Senator Frank Graham and Willis Smith, as the days preceding the June 24 run off clicked by. The main problem for both the' challengers and challenged, it was generally agreed, is to get out the votes. Vigorously waged coun ty contests helped bring out a rec ord vote all over the state May 27, but no one expects this feat (to be duflicated. .

McCaskill’s friends are emphasizing his party record, an excellent one over the years. There is no quarrel anywhere over the qualifications of either man for the office. Kennedy is probably the better known of the two, in a countywide sense. Mrs. Bessie J.

Again, qualifications of each are accord ed honor by both sides, and Mrsl Griffin’s femininity—she was the only woman on the ticket never entered into it as much as had been anticipated.

Hat Sale Mrs. Hayes'" Shop Southern Pines. N. C. Mayor Page and the town board called attentiori this week to a city prdinance against uncovered garbage containers. With summer at hand, doubling the nuisance and dangers of the uncovered containers, this law will be invoked to the fullest, they warned.

This violates low city ordinances, it was pointed out* The uncovered garbage is unsightly and offensive, pro vides a field day for roaming dogs, breeds flies and carries the menace of polio and oher diseases.
