THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina
Friday* July 25, 1952
Dorothy Swisher At Winston-Salem
For Statewide Jaycee Beauty Contest
(Picture on Page 1)
! While the nation’s mind was
fixed on candidates and elections,
Sandhills residents were able to
soare thoughts and best wishes
for another candidate, better-look
ing than any of those at Chicago—
Dorothy Swisher of Southern
Pines, “Miss Aberdeen of 1952,”
maybe later “Miss North Caro
lina” and “Miss America.”

Vote‘‘Yes” In
Torrential Storm Breaks Heat Wave;
Lightning Destroys Evans Barn At Vass
Tobacco Ballot
Dorothy left early Thursday
with a delegation of her sponsors,
the Aberdeen Jaycees, for Win
ston-Salem and the statewide Jay
cee beauty contest.
Already the holder of 1951 state
and national VFW beauty title,
Dorothy’s chances of “doing it
again” seemed excellent to her
friends and sponsors here.
She is one of 38 girls selected
by local Jaycee clubs for the pa
geant and contest, winner of
which will represent North Caro
lina in the “Miss America” con
test at Atlantic City, N. J. The
beauties will be displayed in a
parade this afternoon, and four
performances at Richard J. Rey
nolds auditorium, with finals Sat
urday night.
The girls are staying at a Salem
College dormitory, under a strict
regimen of rehearseils, shows and
“beauty sleep.”
Tommy Speight of Windsor,
Bertie County,' has converted an
old store building into a swine
farrowing house. He has seven
pens equipped with water, lights
and heat.
Voters flocked to polling places
throughout the county Saturday,
to render a decisive affirmlative
on both issues presented in the
■‘tobacco referendum.”
Out of something over 2,000
growers eligible to vote, 1,705 vo
ted on the continuation of acrage
quotas. Of these, 1,654 voted for
continuing quotas three years, 22
for continuing them one yar and
29 were against continuation. This
was 98.3 per cent for quotas and
1.7 per cent against.
A total of 1,664 votes were cast
on the second issue, approving
assessments for the support of
Tobacco Associates, Inc. Of these
1,597 were for the assessment, 67
against—or 95.97 per cent vs. 4.03
per cent.
In the overwhelmingly affirma
tive vote the Moore County
growers were in accord with those
of the Carolinas as a whole. Bal
loting on the issues was held in
North and South Carolina on the
same day.
County PMA leaders expressed
themselves as plqased with the
good turnout, the ^terested and
informed attitude, shown by the
growers, and the results of the
balloting, which was supervised
by PMA community committee
men.
Following the two hottest dasK"*"
qf the summer so far, the heat
waye broke Wednesday afternoon
in a torrential storm, accompanied
by thunder and lightning which
played over the area too close for
comfort.
Starting with the first thunder
clap at 4 p.m., 2.1 inches of rain
poured down in an hour, accord
ing to the measurement made by
Mrs. Tom Kelley, local weather
observer.
The storm played havoc with
telephone service over the district,
it was learned from the Central
Carolina Telephone company.
Many phones were knocked out award.

the center of the highway and
Rowe partly on the highway and
partly on the shoulder.
Elbert Jesse Brower, 0, Negro,
of Robbins Rt. , approaching the
scene in his car with his sister,
Theola, 17, as passenger, sought
some way of passing the melee of
vehicles and injured persons. With
the truck lying across the high
way leaving just a little space at
one end, he skirted around it
along the shoulder.
He said he (Jid not see the in-
.jured man, but stopped when he
“felt something under his car.”
Rowe had been dragged and roll
ed about six feet by Brower’s
car.' Bystander,s, accumulating in
a large crowd, under direction of
Patrolman Apple lifted the car off
the prostrate figure. Rowe was
then found to be dead.
Also injured were Floyd Shef
field, 19, of Robbins, who had
been riding in the truck cab with
McCaskill; and eight-'year-old
Paul Moore.
Oharles Junior Moore was taken
to Moore County hospital with
serious injuries, including a con
cussion, fractured arm and badly
lacerated face. Treated at the
Vanore-Brady clinic at Robbins
were Sheffield, who also had a
concussion, with severe body
abrasions, and young Paul Moore,
who was scratched about the face
and body.
Rowe, a single man, had been
working for J. W. H. Moore and
rooming at JVToore’s home since his
teens. .
Patrolman Apple said no ar
rests had been made, and very
likely none would be until after
a coroner’s inquest set for 7 p. m.
Monday, July 28, at Robbins.

a baby, a little girl and the charm
ing lady of today.
Acting now as hostess for her
wifeless brother at Springfield,
she emerges as a central figure in.
thfe dramatic events now taking
place. If, as seems certain, Adlai
Stevenson becomes nominee, and
if, as is quite possible, the Demo
crats win in November, “Buffie’s”
sphere of activities will most like

Friends here feel she would be

would bring to it a grace and

their own right.
