THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina FRIDAY. APRIL 2. 1954 Bishop Penick To Be Here Sunday The Rt. Rev. Edwin A. Penick, D.D., bishop of the Episcopal Dio cese of North Carolina, will make his annual visitation to Sandhill Parish when he preaches and ad ministers the rite of confirmation to a class of adults Sunday at the 11 a.m. service. The Rev. C. V. Coveil, rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church here, also announced this week that the Rev. David Yeats, rector of the Chapel of the Cross, Chapel Hill, who is noted for his work with students at the University and who has been a frequent del- ' egate to the General Convention, will,be the speaker at the Lenten service next Wednesday at 7:45 p. m. expenses of the ABC board are taken care of—is all that Southern Pines gets from the store. It was pointed out by town officials that Southern Pines is one of only two towns in the state with ABC stores that do not share in the profits of the stores. Mayor Clark said he thought both the town and the county should approach the matter not simply as what each needs in rev enue, but on a basis of what is fair. “1 haven’t talked with many who do think the present system is fair,” he said. WOMAN JAILED (Continued from Page 1) Puppy Found Mad After Biting Five In Moore Family A family of the Carthage area is taking the Pasteur treatment for rabies, after having been bit ten by a pet puppy who was later found to be mad, it was learned this week from Dr. W. J. Willcox county health officer. Dr. Willcox again called atten tion to the necessity of all dog owners having their animals vac cinated under the countywide pro gram April 1-22. It is not only compulsory by law, he said, but necessary in view of the present menace. Rabies has been found in the neighboring counties of Hoke, Cumberland and Robeson. Complete schedule of the current vaccination series is on page 16 of today’s'Pilot. He said five members of the family of Conley Pressly, of the Old River road three miles from Carthage, went at once to a phy sician after having been bitten by their puppy Saturday. The pup py had run away after biting them and it could not then be deter mined if he was rabid, but they decided to be on the safe side and all started taking the Pasteur shots. Tuesday afternoon the dog was found by a neighbor, drowned in a nearby lake or stream where it had evidently rushed in its mad ness. Mrs. Pressly took the body of the dog to Raleigh and a report was made Wednesday afternoon by the health department there that it was rabid. GOVERNOR (Continuea from Page 1) three citizens of Moore for high office in the State.” These he list ed as Forrest Lockey, Eighth Dis trict highway commissioner; Judge W. A. Leland McKeithen, special judge of the superior court; and W. P. Saunders, mem ber of the State Banking Commis sion. Stevenson Not Present The club came within an ace of having both of the most eminent Democrats at present within the State’s borders as guests for the occasion. Adlai Stevenson, titular head of the party, vacationing here with his sister, had tenta tively accepted an invitation to attend. However, an illness over the weipkend which took him to Duke Hospital for two days, with doctors’ orders to rest on his re turn, caused cancellation of the date. In his place Ernest L. Ives, Governor Stevenson’s brother-in- law, attended the meeting as the guest of Kiwanian Jack Younts and brought, greetings from Stev enson. President N. L. Hodgkins pre sided. The attendance was swell ed by a number of guests repre senting the Sandhills towns, and also from other counties, on ac count of the outstanding nature of the program. Charles MacLeod after a hearing at Carthage. She secured the confidence of the local Pontiac dealer. Southern Pines Motor Co., when she first desired to buy a new car, saying that she tvas renting a home here and planned to become a perma nent resident. She claimed to be relaljed to Miss Eleonora Sears, wealthy Boston resident who re cently visited Southern Pines for the Stoneybrook Steeplechase. This story was found to be false. Miss Martin told the local deal er she expected money to arrive shortly, and in the meantime bor rowed the used car to drive. She returned after business hours Fri day, said she had decided to buy the used car and paid for it with the $1,500 check. She then insured the car with John S. Ruggles, giving him a check for $97 on the Citizens Bank and Trust Co. here. Checking up on her story after she had gone, he found several things wrong, and found also that she had no funds in the bank to take care of the check. He notified the car dealer but by then both Miss Martin and the car had disappeared. The woman has a criminal rec ord, mostly ,for bad checks. Chief Newton said. She told Ruggles she formerly lived in Rich Square. She has recently been living in Raleigh.' last Thursday at Paint Hill Farm, taking pictures to their heart’s content of Stevenson, who sat on a rail fence, relaxed in an easy chair, examined farm equipment and obliged in all other ways they asked, before going ofi for a golf game with his old friend Judge W. A. Iseland McKeithen. (See photo, page 13) Some of the finest picture lay outs ever seen in the State, and some of the best pictures ever made of the former Illinois gov ernor and Democratic party leader were the result. The picture-taking session was arranged on the request of sever al papers by William M. Blair, aide to Governor Stevenson with Valerie Nicholson, local represen tative of the state dailies and press services, as intermediary. Sending photographers — also some of their best reporters— were the Charlotte Observer, cireensboro Daily News, Durham Herald, Winston-Salem Journal, Sanford Herald, and Associated Press. The United Press sent as its representative the Southern Pines Emerson Humphrey. Mrs. Nichol son also did some picture-taking. The questions at one point reached the level of national af fairs, at which Mr. Blair smiling ly noted, “This is becoming a press conference—let’s change the subject.” The Governor amiably concurred, “We’ll stick to .'North Carolina.” He expressed his love for the State, and his appreciation of the support it gave him in the 1952 election, noting that his an cestors came from this State and he still has many relatives living within its' borders. In a little while he was asking questions of his guests, and soon it was hard to tell who was inter viewing whom. Mrs. Ernest Ives, his sister, brought out sandwiches for the crowd and everyone had a general good time. As one of the newsmen said later, “He is one of the most charming personalities I have ever met, easy to talk to and interested in everything. Also a fine picture subject.” The photographers came in for some extra credit themselves. Someone commented to Steven son, “Governor, usually when a man gets defeated for public of fice he disappears without a trace, but you have become more and more newsworthy. The interest in you seems to be increasing all the time, instead of subsiding. How do you explain that?” Responded Adlai, “It’s the photographers— they keep taking my picture.” LOCAL MAN WINS' PRIZE W. Ed Cox, president of the Sandhills Chess Club, played in the North Carolina State Chess Championship Tournament held last Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Raleigh. He won a prize for de feating his opponent in the short est game of the toumaiment. CANCER DRIVE (Continued from Page 1) COUNTY BOARD (Continued from Page 1) the profits be given to local schools. The commissioners were to consider this proposal and let the town group know what, if any, of the profits they would ap prove going to the town. Final action on the proposal would have to come through ac tion in the 1955 General Assem bly, but it was brought out that the county’s representative, to be elected this Fall, would undoubt edly cooperate with any proposal endorsed by both the commission ers and the town council. Commissioner Pleasants said that the county commissioners had made no decision, pending a meeting with the ABC board to discuss the matter. He was urged by Mayor Clark to push for a de cision by the commissioners as soon as possible. It was pointed out at the meet ing that the town had received this year from the ABC board only $840 in funds sent to the town for law enforcement work whereas during the past three years it has received at least $4,- 600 per year. Mr. Healy said that when a current audit is finished, the town can expect to receive more law enforcement fund money from the ABC board, but this is not expected to reach the $4,600 amount budgeted in the current year by the town from this source. This law enforcement money— given to Southern Pines and Pine- hurst after the law enforcement Telephone 2-6161 Powell Funeral Home D. A. BLUE, Jr. Southern Pines 24-Hour Ambulance Service HOMES, GARDENS tContinued from Page 1) “Aralu,” home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry M. "Vale, Jr.,—its name an ancient Babylonian word meaning Paradise—is set deep in the pine woods, with its own acre-sized lake at the doorstep, a splashing waterfall under the side windows. Beautiful and imaginative planting has made of “Aralu’ real gardeners’ paradise. Signs in red and yellow, stable colors of the Canadian Cardys, point the way to their winter home, 'Vernon Valley Farms. The azalea-filled patio at the rear and riding ring in a picturesque valley in front bespeak the owners’ in terests. "The red-roofed stables near the house house some of the finest hunters, show horses and race horses in the country. The New Englanders who founded Southern Pines long ago, fleeing their cold country for the south’s warm welcome, planted trees and shrubbery with joyful zeal. Later generations have cher ished the resulting beauty, and winter residents who estabUshed luxurious homes here in recent years have maintained the tradi tion. ■While the homes on the tour differ widely in architectural ap peal, the gardens have much in common. Only certain things grow well in this sandy soil—and these, it just happens, are at their best in the spring. The owners have been resourceful in c^-eating gardens of individual charm from these simple ingredients. Natural planting is stressed, with the famed longleaf pines as a rich setting throughout. Contrasting with the eight homes’ modern charm is the Shaw House, headquarters of the tour, with its own distinctive appeal. Here one steps into the past of 150 years ago. This authentically restored cottage home is located at the busy intersection of US Highway 1 and Broad Street, at the south end of town. Its care fully gathered furnishings of a bygone day, its thriving herb gar den of nostalgic fragrance and memorial garden of old-fashioned flowers with unique “lavender walk” entice both the lover of an tiques and of gardens. New this year on the Shaw House grounds is the “loom house,” ancient log cabin of pioneer days, housing not only the great loom, but the cooking pots grouped about the fireplace, the garden tools, cobblers’ lasts and candle moulds of the early settlers’ daily home routine. The Shaw House, its garden and “loom house” form a living muse um of the past. State archivists rate the restoration, a continuing project of the Moore County His torical Association, as one of North Carolina’s most important. Mrs. J. S. Milliken is president of the Southern Pines Garden Club, which is sponsoring the Garden Tour for the sixth year, with Mrs. W. D. Campbell as tour chairman. Luncheon and tea will be served from 11 a. m. to 5 p. m. at the Shaw House, where hostesses in attendance will be headed by Mrs. Ernest L. Ives, president of the Historical Association. From the Shaw House, signs will point the way along the tour route. county as an educational measure. Patients have been visited and va rious types of relief have been ad ministered, Mrs. McGraw report ed. The county jjommander gave special praise to the educational work of Mrs. Annie Foster of Pinehurst in the Negro communi ties of the county, carried on by showing films, giving out infor mation and arranging trips to de tection centers. “She has laid the foundation of alertness among her people,” Mrs. McGraw said. “'We cannot give too much praise to her work.” Home Demonstration clubs are among the most interested groups, and members of clubs have made reservations to go to detection centers. STEVENSON (Continued from Page 1) to the delight of the hundreds massed on the gymnasium floor as he spoke from the balcony, “This evening I think I left all of my right hand here—but I’ll come back to recover it.” Another Stevenson remark that brought laughter from the crowd came when he said that he had in the past two years travelled in 45 states and 35 foreign nations. “Now, at last,” he said, “I thought I had achieved one of my greatest ambitions—to ygo where Mrs. Roosevelt had never been. But, by golly, she was herel” He referred to Mrs. Roosevelt’s visit to Carthage to inspect a National Youth Administration project in the 1930’s. The welcome he had received in North Carolina, Stevenson said, almost persuaded him that his an cestors should never have left the state. Referring to his sister’s log cab in home near Southern Pines, he said that it was an example of ‘from, log cabin to log cabin in three or four generations.” From events of the past two years, he said, the Democratic party “has emerged stronger, ded icated to the service of a large portion of the people of this coun try.” The welcome at Carthage, he said, “touched me deeply.” Southern Pines became the cen ter of nation-wide attention Sun day night when Stevenson was taken from here to Duke Hospital where x-rays disclosed a small kidney stone. He first became ill at Brownson Memorial Presbyte rian Church Sunday morning, leaving during the service by a side door. Feeling better later in the day he attended a supper gathering at the honie of Mrs. James Boyd, but was taken ill there. Dr. R. M. McMiUan ac companied him to Duke that night. Much improved and “feel ing fine,” Stevenson flew back to the Sandhills in a private plane from Durham Tuesday afternoon. He has been up and about since his return but continued work on the Charlotte speech and rested at Paint Hill Farm. The planning committee for the Carthage reception, who received wide praise for their efforts, con sisted of H. Clifton Blue of Abet- deen, Moore representative in the General Assembly, Mrs. Ruth Swisher, Southern Pines; Mrs. E. G. Brown, Carthage; Bob Hyman, Deep River precinct chairman; Roy McSwain Robbins; and Judge W. A.
