FRIDAY. MAY 21. 1954 THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina PAGE FIVE 'S V.7 Haywood Fry, 100 Per Cent Democrat,’ Lambastes Those Who Bolt The Party Haywood Fry of Carthage rose* in the Democratic county conven tion in the courtroom at Carthage Saturday afternoon to state that he is “a 100 per cent Democrat— a long way from an ‘I Like Ike’ Democrat.” His remarks drew loud appplause. Later, Mr. Fry, a Moore County native who has been a staunch Democrat lor many years, elabo rated his convictions considerably lor The Pilot as follows “The national electfO'n of the year 1952 will go down in political history as a year of a new dis covery. Theold adage ‘all is not gold that gutters’ could never have been applied so well hereto fore as in the recent actions of some so-called Democrats of Moore county. After the noise of battle had followed the air waves to their place of silence, and the smoke had settled among the de bris, the discovery of a new pic ture is in full view. ‘‘Those of us who vote purely from principle realize that the Gideon of old, a general of the first water, was really on his job when he put the acid test to his army. What a blunder he would have made with all that army go ing into battle if in the crucial moments they would have failed to ‘stand to’! Instead of winning a clear decision, as he did, those undisciplined soldiers would have lost the city to the enemy. “The Democratic party besieg ed the enemy in 1952; the result is history. Our serious disadvan tage was not visible until the re sults were flashed on the screen. “Numbers of voters who claim ed to be ‘true blue’ and who here tofore had gone into the secret confines of the party councils, and received the courtesy and honor of public office and enjoyed the association and prided them selves in the name and all other belongings attached thereto, let us down when we nee.ded them most. “When the showdown came, there were two distinct discov eries. We looked at them as Dem ocrats, expecting them to put on the whole armor and give an ac count of themselves as in the days of yore, but they showed them selves in a different light. They allowed their true Democratic principles to be camouflaged with Republican propaganda dispensed by the astute generals of the GOP, under the galvanized name of ‘I Like Ike’ Democrats, which is a voter who will vote the Demo cratic ticket when everything is favorable, providing the mem is nominated who he thinks is best. He is thereby ignoring party loy alty or party unity and still claim ing that he is not a Republican. “What is he? He certainly is not a Democrat, at least he doesn’t belong to thousands who stood by their guns with Adlai Steven son. Doubtless for a number of years prior to this test he had ex hibited the hands of Esau but in WATER SAFETY PROGRAM SET The Moore Counly Chapter of the American Red Cross will conduct an active swim ming, lifesaving, and water safety program again this summer, reports Dr.' J. C. Grier, Jr., of Pinehurst, the chapter's first aid and water safety chairman. Classes for beginner swim mers, intermediates, and other swimmers, as well as for those desiring junior and senior life saving, will be of fered. These classes will be taught by volunteer certified Red Cross water safety in structors. This instruction is free. Any one who desires such training should informi the of fice of the Red Cross Chapter at Souhtern Pines, indicating the type otf training desired and giving name, address, age and telephone number. Adults as well as children are encouraged to enroll. - Eighth Graders Display Original Mural Painting the November election he spoke the soft voice of Jacob, thereby exhibiting a clear-cut case of un called-for and unwarranted po litical deception. “This article is not intended as a criticism of any man or woman who has party preference. I’m only attempting to paint a pic ture of a voter who belongs to both parties in practice, but who is not eligible to membership in either. Any man who affiliates with the Republican party from a standpoint of principle I will re spect to the highest degree pos sible, because he is carrying out the sacred duty of party obliga tion, and to do otherwise would be to neglect his private duties. “But the most antagonistic character is the one who makes or breaks the results of a Demo cratic primary. They are the ones you cannot trust or depend on: self-styled independents and peo ple of indecision. No one should ever think that the independent voter will ever accomplish any thing. He never has. The only di rect route to any political results is through and by a party organi zation—so stand by it first, last and always'. “Let us hope that the T Like Ike’s’ will not crawl back to the party in the approaching primary as Democratic primaries are hot the mourners benches for the de linquent backsliders. Let the true blue Democrats'nominate a tick et; then let the ‘I Like Ike’s’ come in a penitent mood and be jre- christened and receive the right hand of fellowship. “Avoid political deception and remember the teaching, ‘The Hand of Esau and the 'Voicq of Jacob.’ ” This mural painting, done on a double thicki^ess of heavy brown wrapping paper, nearly covers a wall at the Southern Pines libra ry art gallery where the two eighth grade students who design ed and painted it, with the help of two other eighth graders, are shown looking over their work. At left is Beth Turner, 13, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Turner. With her is Carol Staples, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul R. Staples. Jean Godwin and Patty Britt helped with painting parts of the imaginary horse show scene which, though it has longleaf pines in the foreground, displays higher hills in the background than any found in the Sandhills. The work was done under the supervision of art teacher Dop Moore who has a seventh-eighth grade combination at the South ern Pines school. Small figures in the center of the painting are leaning on a paddock or show-ring fence. You can imagine, say the girls, that there is a crowd of people watching behind tlpie rise in ground at the right. Both the girls shown here have always liked to draw and paint and en joyed working on the big mural. Just what wiU become of it next week, when it and the paintings of PhiUip Morgan, on exhibition in the same room (see front page), are taken down, nobody knew this week, but it may go back to a permanent display on some wall at the school.
