Seventeen years ago, at the age of 66 when most men have retired or at least are making plans to end their active working life, Her bert S. Knowles was launching his own new business. ■While this may have seemed remarkable to observers, it is quite certain that it didn’t seem unusual to Mr. Knowles himself. Throughout his long career, he has remained too busy to ponder whether he should or should not work as long or as hard as he did. From his youth, the Southern Pines man has liked to sell people things to eat and has probably sold as much food to as many peo ple as any living rnan. Recently, Mr. Knowles sold his “Specialty Shop” on N. E. Broad St., near the comer of Connecticut Ave., to C. L. Worsham, ending an active career in grocery and meat merchandising that began in New Hampshire some 60 years ago. The Southern Pines man ob served his 83rd birthday on July 4, a date that has given him a hol iday on his birthday throughout his life. He lives alone at 360 E. Connecticut Ave., in one of three houses he owns in the neighbor hood. The house has a pleasant front porch, where Mr. Knowles keeps an electric fan going in hot weather and which looks out on good-sized dogwood and pines he (Continued on Page 8) • I I* ...

J., in a sudden death playoff after they had deadlock ed at 280 for 72 holes, eight un der par.
