MISS CLARK GRADUATES
Graduating exercises marking
the conclusion of the 62nd year of
Woman’s College of UNC at
Greensboro were held at 10:30 a.
m. Monday, May 31, with approx-
ijnately 525 students listed as
candidates for degrees. One hun
dred and five graduate degrees
were included. Among the mem
bers of the graduating seniors was
Miss Mary Ruth Clark, daughter
of Mrs. Margaret Clark of Vass.
Mrs. James H. Andrews died at
her home in Weymouth Heights at
five-thirty Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. Andrews suffered a cere
bral hemorrhage a week previous
ly, lapsing into unconsciousness
from which she did not recover.
She would have been 89 on June
7th.
With her at the time of her
death were her two daughters,
Marion, Mrs. Coburn Musser of
New York, and Helen, Mrs. Carl A.
Lohmann of New Haven, and Mr
Musser. Also Miss Mary Finlay-
son, her companion for several
years.
A simple funeral service was
held at the home Monday after
noon, conducted by the Rev.
Charles V. Covell, rector of Em
manuel Church, of which Mrs.
Andrews had been a member. In
terment was in the family plot in
Akron, Ohio.
Surviving, besides her two
daughters, are her son, Edward
Day Andrews, of Akron, seven
grandchildren and eleven great
grandchildren.
Mrs. Andrews was born Laura
Lyman Day, in Kent, Ohio,
1865. She and her husband James
Hanson Andrews, were married
December 3, 1887. Mr. Andrews
was superintendent of the Quaker
Oats Company, of Akron, where
the couple settled in 1891.
Mr. and Mrs. Andrews came to
Pinehurst in 1915 and built “Little
House,” now the home of James
Tufts, where they lived until Mr.
Andrews’ death. In 1931 Mrs. An
drews moved to Southern Pines.
The big white-painted brick house
on the crest of the hiU, with its
view toward the East, designed
for her, with gardens laid out ac
cording to her wishes, became her
home until her deaths with the
exception of a few summers at
Cape Cod.
Public-spirited and with never-
failing generosity in her support
of progressive community service,
Mrs. Andrews had been, in Akron,’
a founder of the Mary Day Nur
sery and Children’s Hospital. On
coming to North Carolina, she car
ried on this interest in work for
the Moore County Hospital. She
and Mr. Andrews made substan
tial contributions to the original
building fund and, in 1937, she be
came one of the first women elect
ed to membership on the board of
directors. She served as vice-
president from 1937 through 1945,
putting her exceptional adminis
trative ability to work for the
welfare of the institution and, in
particular, the reorganization of
its housekeeping services. Her de
voted efforts were largely respon
sible for the strides made in this
phase of the hospital’s operation
during her years on the board; at
the same time, she continued the
financial support which she and
her husband had always main
tained.
She was a regular and generous
supporter of the Pinehurst -For
um, the Sandhills Music Associa
tion, of the Moore County Mater
nal 'Welfare Committee and many
other community services.
"A Lady of Quality"
Laura Day Andrews lived a life,
in this community, in the old tra
dition of gracious womanhood.
One thinks of that phrase, “A
Lady of Quality.” She had great
charm, wit and humor; she was a
keen judge of human nature, but
her judgments, based on strict
standards as they were, stiU were
tempered by kindness. Her strong
character and vivid personality
made her influence deeply felt.
Her interests were many: she
was a zealous reader, keeping up
with the newest publications, even
during the last years of her life,
when, with failing eyesight, she
turned to the “talking books” for
her reading. She loved flowers
and her garden was one of the
prettiest hereabouts. One of her
loveliest attributes was her talent
for needlework. She had the feel
ing for her work, and the skill, of
the creative artist and the finish
ed products were of rare beauty.
But it was jn her quiet gener
osity that the inner light of her
presence shone most brightly. She
was always ready to hear, always
ready to help. Her generosity to
those in need, never known except
to the recipients, was beyond esti
mation.
The ordered dignity of her life,
the warm friendliness of her pres
ence, made her home a place of
lovely hospitality. To the last she
kept it fuU of family and of
friends, surrounded by her devot
ed household; a place to go for
comfort, and spiritual sustenance,
for lively interest, for fun. She
knew, and her long, full life ex
emplified, the true joy , of living.

Cunningham Wins
Master’s Degree
At Syracuse U.
Thomas E. Cunningham, South
ern Pines city manager, will win
his master’s degree in public ad
ministration at Syracuse Univer
sity, Syracuse, N. Y., at com
mencement exercises Monday.
Mr. Cunningham, a very busy
municipal official, will not be
present to receive the degree. He
jmade the trip to Syracuse last
’ week to take the oral examination
on his thesis, which he completed
during the past year. Subject of
the thesis is “Performemce
Budgeting in Richmond, Va.” He
was budget officer in Richmond’s
council-manager government be
fore accepting the Southern Pines
position.
While a student at the Univer
sity of North Carolina, where he
graduated with a B. A. degree in
1947, Mr. Cunningham almost
completed requirements for his
masters. However, after a post-
Sraduate year at the School of
Public Administration at Syra
cuse, he decided to secure his M.
A. there.
After studying at Syracuse he
spent a year in the New York
State administrative department
at Albany, on a fellowship award-

School of Citizenship and Public
Affairs. He entered actively on
his career as assistant city man
ager at Martinsville, Va., going
then to Richmond, and coming to
Southern Pines August 1, 1953.

that North Carolina cropland
needs about 4,000,000 tons of lime
for top production.
