FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1954 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina PAGE FIVE 3 <0 Three New Names Added To Local Precinct Group Three new names were added to the Southern Pines precinct committee for 1954-’55 and two retained from the former group, at the precinct meeting held Satur day at the Legion Hut. Newly elected were Ward Hill, Voit Gil more and Mrs. Mary Chatfield, while Mrs. Ruth Swisher and L. F. Garvin remain from the former committee. The new members take the places of L.. V. O’Callaghan, re tiring chairman, Mrs. James Boyd, and J. V. Healy, former secretary. With the former chairman pre siding, the meeting drew an at tendance of 29, including a group from the League of Women Voters, Mayor Clark of Southern Pines and County Commissioner James Pleasants. Mr. O’Callaghan stated that there were 1875 registered Demo crats in the precinct, and while acknowledging that those repre sented at the meeting seemed few in comparison, he recalled that the last precinct meeting two years ago had only called out an attendance of 14. “We’re getting more interested,” Mr. O’Callag han said, “and that’s a good healthy sign.” The chairman said that the pre cinct was allowed 73 votes in the general convention to be held at Carthage next Saturday. Following a brief resume of past meetings by the secretary, the chairman proceeded immedi ately to the business of the day: the election of a committee to serve for the coming two years, with the opening nomination that of the present full committee made by Mayor Lloyd Clark. The following nominations from the floor were 'made: Voit Gilmore, Southern Pines Councilman and Graves Vann, were nominated by Ward Hill; Ward Hill, nominated by Katharine Boyd; Joe Thomas, nominated by Mr. Pleasants; Her bert Cameron nominated by J. A. Phillips; Mrs. Mary Chatfield, nominated by Mr. Cleirk; Mrs. Jecin Edson, nominated by Graves Vann; Mrs. Voit Gilmore nomi nated by Valerie Nicholson. Tellers, Lament Brown, Ralph Mills and J. A. PhilUps brought back the' first verdict: the elec tion of Mrs. Swisher and Mrs. Chatfield and Voit Gilmore, re turning again, after a second vote on the remaining candidates, with Ward Hill and L. F. Garvin, as representing Manly, elected the two other members on the new committee. A committee vote on officers resulted in Mr. Hill winning the chairmanship, with Mrs. Swisher remaining as vice-chairman and Mrs, Chatfield elected secretary. Suggestions For Committee While the votes were being counted former chairman O’Cal- laghan suggested it would be a good idea for those present to discuss any suggestions they might have for the consideration of the new committee. First to speak was Mr. Gilmore who said he hoped that the com mittee and all delegates attending the county convention, would press for the election of Lament Brown as county chairman, a posi tion he has held thus far, as fill ing in for former chairman, now Judge Leland McKeithen. Mr. Brown expressed himself as grate ful for the thought, recalled that the chairman is elected by the other precinct chairmen. Another suggestion voiced by Mr. Gilmore was that the regis tration books of the precinct, and probably of the county in general, needed purging. He urged that this matter be taken up, making the further suggestion that a card system be installed so that names A NEW OCCUPATION FOR WOMEN Pretty Betty Ruth Boyd, of Monroe, N. C., is shown operafr ing the keyboard of a Teletype-setter perforator, the machine that has opened up an entirely new occupation for women in the newspaper field. The tape from this machine (shown in the lower left hand of the picture) is fed through an apparatus attached to a typesetting machine and automatically sets type for newspapers. Miss Boyd is a student at the Roy Parker School of Printing, Chowan College, Murfreesboro, N. C., the only school in the entire South where such training is avail able. (Chowan College News Bureau Photo.) of those who have died or moved away could be immediately placed in an inactive file, thus greatly facilitating and speeding up the work of the registrar. Mrs. Nicholson suggested that the purchase of a voting machine fer the very large Southern Pines precinct should be looked into. “The vote-counting is always held up,” she recalled, “waiting for the Southern Pines votes to. be counted.” While this idea was applauded, the general feeling was that such a machine, whose purchase would come under the county board of elections, would be ruled out be cause of high cost. Among those called on by the chair for a few remarks was A. S. Ruggles. Mr. Ruggles, who has, it was tbcught, attended more precinct meetings than anyone present in his more than 60 years of life here, begged to be excused from speaking because of a recent throat condition. Mr. Brown congratulated the gathering on their numbers, “not yet enough but a healthy sign, to see the ranks growing,” proposed a rising vote of thanks to the re tiring chairman.' “Mr. O’Callaghan,” he said, “has served this precinct long and well. I feel, and I know you all feel, that we owe him a debt. of thanks.” The retiring chairman in his turn paid a similar tribute to his assistant, Mrs. Swisher. Legion Installs New Offieers Installation of new officers was scheduled for Thursday night of this week by Sandhills Post 134, American Legion, with Robert Chriscoe of Pinehurst, 12th Dis trict commander, conducting the ceremonies. J. 'V. Healy, retiring commander, urged all members to be present for the meeting at 8 p. m. in the Legion Hut on Ver mont Ave. SUBSCRIBE TO THE PILOT— MOORE COUNTY'S LEADING NEWS WEEKLY.
