Crash Peels Back Top Of Car, Hurts Driver at Pinebluf f A car-truck collision at Pine- bluff about 5:15 p. m. Wednesday peeled back the steel top of a green 1949 Chrysler sedan as though the auto had been a con vertible and injured an Aberdeen Negro woman, Mrs. Gladys Mc Kenzie, 45, The driver was alone in the car. Highway Patrolman C. G. Wim berly, who investigated the un usual crash, said that the woman ran the car into the rear of a large parked tractor-trailer loaded with steel beams which projected from the rear of the trailer and slashed through the windshield of the car ' on the right-hand side. The woman was bruised and shaken up and received hospital treatment for a leg laceration. Pa trolman Wimberly said Thursday that no charges had been prefer red, pending further investigation, Eye-witnesses of the accident re ported that the woman appeared to be intoxicated and that the car was weaving on the road prior to the collision. The truck was parked off the highway, headed north, in front of Keith’s Grill. The Aberdeen car, also headed north, ran into the left rear of the truck. The entire front part of the car was smashed in and the top was nearly torn off by the large steel beams project ing from the! rear of the truck.

Shaw, one of the early settlers of this section, the Shaw House was opened to the public by the Moore County Historical Association in January, 1947. This week it played host to 900 and some visitors to the local Garden Club tour. It will be the scene of an aU-day auction this Satur day, (with Wednesday held in reserve as the second-string date, if it rains Saturday.) Try To Get In! Townshend Will Play In All-Star Basketball Game A high honor came this week to Jimmy Townshend, high school senior and son of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis S. Townshend of Country Club Drive, when he was invited to participate in the North Caro lina High School All-Star basket ball game at Greensboro Tuesday, August 10. In making the announcement, Irie Leonard, Southern Pines High School principal, said that the invitation is one of the high est honors that can come to a high school basketball player in the state. a' guard with the Southern Pines Blue Knights, Jimmy led his team in scoring and was chos en an all-county player for two years. The All-Star basketball game, along with an All-Star football game, features competition be tween teams from East and West in the state. Jimmy will play on the Eastern squad to be coached by Ben Lundy of Rocky Mount. The games are played in con nection with a coaching clinic and are sponsored by the N. C. Coach es Association and the Greensboro Daily News. Gary Mattocks of Southern Pines High School was chosen to play in the All-Star basketball game in 1949—the only other such invitation issued to a local high school player, until the recent in vitation received by Townshend. Old Shaw House Bursting At Seams In Season’s Three-Ring Cireus Week The Shaw House has been a three-ring circus this week, with the accent, happily, on the three rings and not the circus. Though we don’t doubt that elements of the latter have crept in to enliven^ the proceedings. The three rings in question are, of course, first, the past feverish activity on behalf of the Garden Club tour at which some 900 peo ple were entertained. The old house figured as headquarters for the tour held on Wednesday. Tick ets were sold there and the guests were despatched on their round of local gardens and homes. There, also, was served the attractive al fresco lunch. With long tables set out under the budding trees at the back of the house, the old-timey table ware doing yeoman service, as always, livened by the rich browns and yellows of Moore County’s Jugtown Pottery, the sight evoked murmurs of pleas ure. Repeated, in growing chonis, as the guests sat down to a lunch that was tasty, spicy, green- salady, to suit the taste of the veriest epicure; and served with expedition and efficiency. That was the first of three rings that occupied Shaw House this week. The second may be said to have been the regular trade luncheons and teas have been served in increasing numbers as folks stopped over at the historic building on their way North, or drove over from peighboring towns to see the herb garden, en joy the refreshing meals and gen- KILLER JAILED (Continuea from Page 1) Previous to his service with Mr. Yeomans, he had worked for many yearsfor Mrs. Walter MacNeille of Pinebluff, and had done orderly duty for various cases in the coun ty. ' It is reported that not long before his death, his minister, fol lowing the funeral of a man who met death in much the same way, had warned Clyburn that he might well suffer a similar fate, if he did not mend his ways. The slain man said he knew it and told the friendly preacher: “If I die that way, I don’t want you to cover it up in the funeral sermon. I want you to tell it the way it happened.” Found Nearly Dead Pirn Dunlap, alias Pim McGill, of Raeford, about 30 years old, was found semi-conscious On street in Taylortown, near Pine- hurst, about 2:30 a. m. Monday. He was taken to Moore (Jounty Hospital, where he died about 15 minutes after arrival. An autopsy showed death to have been caused by three bullet wounds in the body, fired from an automatic re volver, and Coroner Ralph G. Steed returned a verdict of “death by shooting by a person or per sons unknown.” Several suspects were picked up within the next few hours for questioning, and three were held in Moore County jail pending fur ther investigation of the case. Chief J. T. Shepherd of the Pine- hurst police department, heading the investigation, called in the SBI at once, and intensive work is under way with a break in the case expected shortly. springy fashion. Not forgetting, of course, this winter’s new attrac tion: the weaving house. Last of the three rings is the present turmoil going on as mem bers of the Historical Association get ready for the auction to be held Saturday for the benefit of the association’s projects. A visit to the Shaw House Thursday was replete with ad venture. Fighting your way in over piles of mysterious consign ments to the auction and under or over or through the folks sorting and laying out and desperately computing values and prices, was in itself a major accomplishment. Once inside, you faced the auction itself, or the preliminaries to it, the chairs, tables, pottery, silver ware, pictures and so on and so on, that have come in to be sold. A hasty glance was enough to see that they represented many tastes and would appeal to as many. The antique-lover can go on the usual antique-lover’s jag, the eye that is caught by the gleam of fine silver can settle for that. A special feature, it seemed, would be the corner where some fine old prints were stacked. The auction is taking place all day, we are told, and folks are going to buy lunches at the Shaw House, or bring their own picnics. Those who have attended past auctions know well that the word: “picnic,” might well be an appro priate one for this affair. In fact, it strikes this reporter that a com bination of “circus” and “picnic” is a pretty good way of describing not only what happens but the Dance For Troops Will Be Held Saturday Night As an event in the local pro gram of entertainment for service men taking part in the Flash Burn maneuvers, the Southern Pines Recreation Commission will spon sor a dance at the school gymna sium Saturday from 8 to 11:30 p.m., for 100 men now stationed at Camp MackaU. The men to attend, selected at the camp, will be transported to Southern Pines. An Army orchestra will furnish music. A number of invitations are being issued to girls in South ern Pines, Pinehurst, Aberdeen and Carthage and other girls are welcome to attend. The Junior Woman’s Club in Aberdeen is handling transportation for girls there and persons to arrange transportation and chaperoning have been named in the other towns. The dance is a joint project of the recreation commission and other groups cooperating in the current servicemen’s recreation project here. Plans call for Mayor Lloyd T. Clark to welcome the soldiers at tending the dance. Volunteer chaperones include, in addition to Mayor and Mrs. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Page, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Bushby and members of the recreation commission with their wives or husbands. Mrs. W. P. Davis and Mrs. John Ruggles, of the recreation commis sion, have been leading work on the dance project. Centers Open Four recreation centers which have been open the past few weekends will continue in opera tion Friday night through Sunday. They are at the Community Cen ter (former Elks Club) on May Street, Emmanuel Episcopal Church, at the Church of Wide Fellowship and at Brownson Me morial Presbyterian Church. :rally mosey round in leisurely kind of fun it always is. Council To Meet Tuesday And Friday; Hearing Set In Filling Station Case Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ed Cox, Jr., motored to Charlotte, Tryon and Asheville over the weekend. A town plumbing code, methods of increasing efficiency of water bill collection and meter reading, discontinuance of free water serv ice to churches and other organ izations, seven appointments to the town recreation commission and two appointments to the school board are among matters slated to come before the South ern Pines town council for dis cussion when the council meets at town hall Tuesday night at 8 p. m. Following a system started last' month, the council will have a discsusion session Tuesday, defer ring action on the matters pre sented to it until another meeting Friday at 8 p. m. Public Hearing Also set for Tuesday night is a public hearing before the council to consider whether or not a per mit shall be granted to construct a filling station on southwest cor ner of S. W. Broad St., and Mass achusetts Ave. Application for such a permit was made to the board by Harry Fullenwider, at torney for A. Montesanti, owner of the property, with the explan ation that Mr. Montesanti pro poses to sell the property to an unnamed party who wiU, if per mission is granted, build a service station there. Construction of public garages and filling stations in the South ern Pines business district is now prohibited. It is up to the council to decide if a permit for a filling station shall be issued. If there is no protest from near by property owners, the council can give consent by a simple ma jority vote. If there is protest by owners of 20 per cent or more of the lots included in the same block as the proposed site or those directly opposite, within 400 feet, consent cannot be given except by a favorable vote of three- fourths of all the members of the council. Similar proposals have been made before in the past several years and have been denied by the town governing body. Plumbing Code Proposal that the town have a modern plumbing code has been made after consultation by City Manager Tom E. Cunningham with W. F. Morrison, executive secretary of the State board of examiners of plumbing and heat ing contractors, and the proposed code has been discussed with sev eral local licensed plumbers. A proposed ordinance covering water bill collection and meter reading would add a $2 charge to all unpaid accounts after 30 days and meters would be removed after 60 days. Re-reading of water meters would cost consumers $1, if the original reading proves to be accurate. These proposals are designed to eliminate time-consuming and costly procedures in collecting de linquent water accunts and follow a detailed study of collection pro cedures by Cunningham. Free water has been given to 19 consumers, largely churches or church buildings which have con sumed water in the past quarter that would have cost, if it had been paid for, from the minimum charge of $5 to $42.50.
