In return they were given sponsorship of the “homecoming” high school football game which will be play ed with Robbins here the night of Friday, October '8. Last week, each Rotarian agreed to sign a personal note for $60, in order to raise the fund in full at once. Members of the club will handle sale of tickets for the October 8 contest. If the club’s total contri bution is not repaid through tick et sales, club members will per sonally repay the balance. Acceptance of 51 National Guard units from Tennessee, as part of a plan to make the famed 30th Division entirely a North Carolina National Guard organ! zation, was announced this week by Adj. Gen. John Hall Manning at Raleigh. Under the new plan, which is now in process of development, the National Guard battery here will become part of the division’s tank battalion. The unit is now part of the 130th anti-aircraft bat talion. It is hoped that the Tennessee units will come to North Carolina by October 1.

She retained her Sandhill title in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. Men's Singles The women’s match, starting at 1 p. m., was followed by the men’s singles finals in which BUI Umstaedter, current holder of the South Carolina Open, Mid-Dixie and CaroUnas titles, defeated Sam Daniel, 12-time , South Carolina state champion. Umstaedter’s score of 6-4, 6-4, 6-1 gave him the W. E. Storey Memorial trophy for the second successive year. Three times and it’s his for keeps. It was Miss Brown’s third tim'e to win the women’s title. She de fended it last year against the same opponent. Mrs. Walters won it in 1951. Cobb. Roddy Win Other finals events saw Whit Cobb cf Durham' and “Bo” Rod ney of Charlotte cop the men’s doubles title against Umsteadter and C. R. Coimcil of Raleigh, 6-0, 9-/, 6-0; Audrey Brown and Mary Johnson of Wilmington win women’s doubles against Sara Walters and Mary Lou Jones of Sanford, 4-6, 6-3, 6-t; and Sara Walters and Sam Daniel win mi±- ed doubles against Mary John son and Goldsboro’s John Allen Farfour, 6-4, 6-1. Mary Lou Jones, who won the first Sandhill touraey when a girl of 18 in 1949, almost upset Miss Brown in women’s semi finals. The local girl was off her game, and Miss Jones was defin itely on. It took three hard-fought sets but Audrey made it. Mtiry Lou wound up with two runner- \^p trophies—no mean achieve ment amid such competition. Newcomers Here Semifinals saw the tournament boil down to well-known winners of North and South Carolina. Eliminated along the Way was a host of talent, including many familiar names, others new to the Sandhill. Newcomers this year were groups from Camden, S. C., and also from Florida. An gelo Montesanti, formerly of Southern Pines and a charter member of the sponsoring Sand hill Tennis association, who help ed found the tournament six years ago, now lives in Jackson ville, Fla. He and his wife arriv ed to watch the tournament, and Angelo played in the doubles. The tournament opened with 32 entries in men’s singles, 14 in women’s. Late entries in doubles, including Charlotte’s well-known Private First Class Harold A. Collins Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold A. Collins of “Pickridge”, Southern Pines, is presently a^ signed to the Seventy Fourth Army Band, at Fort Campbell Prior to his entering the serv ice, Pfc.

Some of his ®ther duties in the band include that of company mail clerk and band re cording technician. WILSON (Continued from Page 1) years. He was an Air Force pilot in World War II. Returning to Southern Pines, he was for a time manager 6f the Southern Piims Country Club, worked with Mr. Van Camp, was in the insurance business and recently has been a traveling sales representative for Dewey Brothers, Inc., of Goldsboro, a steel and foundry company. . With the rank of captain, he is commander of the local Nation al Guard battery, a post he has held since shortly after the Guard unit here was organized in 1949. His wife is the former Adeline Trubiani and the Wilsons have three children, Billy, 9; Kathy, 7- and Anne, 5. Mr. Wilson is a member of the John Boyd post Veterans of Foreign Wars, and St. Anthony’s Catholic Church.

Page, plus $911 in pledges, Most of the pledges are payable on or before September 30, while others are not due until later in the falli “We are counting on every pledge’s being made good—we need them all, and more,” said Chairman Holliday. He revealed that some checks have been arriv ing in response to a number of letters written to persons out of town, and “we hope|®or still mol'd answers.” Poles Add Cost The problem of buying nine 70- foot and 75-foot poles, and getting the lights up, after the equipment gets here, is occupying the atten tion of the lighting committee at present. At going rates these two items would amount to about $2,000—running the total higher than the amount now in sight from cash on hand, pledges, Elks and Rotarians. Some free labor has been prom ised, and prospects are being fol lowed up which may secure the poles at a saving. Every practi cal economy will be effected not only to get the lights up and working, but without holdover debts, Holliday said. Arrangements are being made to contact persons who were out of town the week the solicitation was held; $200 or more is hoped for from that source. Those who have not given, or who wish to give more than they have already, may do so through Mr. Holliday or Mr. Page, and those who made pledges are asked to pay them as soon as possible to the canvasser who holds their pledge card. While it was impossible this week to predict the construction schedule on installing the lights^ those in charge said there is a possibility that the lights may be up for the first home football game of the high school season— with West End here Friday, Sep tember 17. This game is tenta tively listed on the schedule, ap pearing elsewhere in today s Pilot, as an afternoon contest. The second home game for Southern Pines is the October 8 contest with Robbins and it is felt that the lights will certainly be installed by that time.

The Blue Knights^an off like, clockwork from the KENNEDY (Continued from Page 1) items in seven of the nine school districts. To guide the clerk in his delib erations, each of the two boards submitted a summary of issues and contentions on the disagree ment. These issues had been present ed Wednesday of last week and further evidence to guide the ar bitrator was compiled in a four- hour hearing Saturday in the courtroom. , At this hearing, the board of commissioners was represented by County Attorney M. G. Boyette and the board of education by At torney W. D. Sabiston, both, Car thage lawyers. Mr. Hoyle sat with Mr. Kennedy, taking notes and occasionally questioning per sons testifying. Testimony as to school needs was offered by principals in each of the nine districts of the coun ty system: R. E. Lee, Aberdeen; J. F. Sinclair, West End; Lloyd Isaacs, Carthage; R. E. Sigmon, Cameron; Tracy Phillips, West- moore; John McCrummen, Vass- Lakeview; ^T. H. Lingerfelt, Farm Life; C. E. Hackney, Robbins; and 'r. K. Holmes, Highfalls. The witnesses were put on the stand by Mr. Sabiston, testifying to the need at their institutions of the items in the capital outlay ouQget originally requested by the board of education. Each was questioned carefully by Mr. Boy ette, apparently with a view to showing that the schools could get along without some of the Items requestea. Attending this hearing for the board of commissioners were J M. Pleasants of Southern Pines and T. R. Reynolds of Leaman, Present from the board of edu cation were Chairman J. A. Cul bertson of Robbins, Jere Me- Keithen of Aberdeen, T. Roy Phil lips of Carthage and W. Howard Matthews of Clay Road Farms community. John C. Muse of Sanford, head of the accounting firm that audits all the county’s books, including those of the county board of edu cation, was present for the hear ing. He testified that if all th( requests of the board of educa tion were allowed and if no other budget items were cut, the tax rate in this'year’s budget would have to be raised from $1.35 $100 of property valuation to about a half cent over $1.77. Unwillingness to raise taxes is the commissioners’ chief reason for their stand. Mr. Kennedy said this week it ( returning to the hospital with thte news when the accident took place. A member of the family said Wednesday night that his condition had improved, although he had not been allowed visitors since he was taken to the Fort Bragg hospital. Mrs. Patnode and her son werte taken to the Bellet home from the hospital Wednes day. As reported by investigating of ficers, the Chevrolet driven by Tyner was found 39 feet from the point of impact leaning against a power line pole. The Suddreth boy was found 33 feet beyond the pole, a distance he had apparently been thrown from the car. The Pontiac driven by Patnode came to rest 126 feet from the point of impact and the soldier was found 27 feet from the car on the opposite side from the point of impact, also-apparently thrown to this position. The violence of the collision could be judged, officers said, by the fact that the Cheimolet’s nlo- tor, tom from the car, was found 54 feet from the point of impact and 57 feet, in another direction from where the car’s body was found against tha power pole. Al so, the front end of the Che-vrolet, with fenders and headlights con nected by the radiator in the cen ter, and torn from the chassis, was found in another location some 25 feet from the dislodged motor. Patnode’s home is at Albany, N. Y. His mother, Mrs. Margaret Patnode, was due to arrive here Thursday morning to be a guest at the Bellet home in Lakeview and to see her son at Fort Bragg.

Among these lettermen were David Page, lanky pass snatching end who combined sparkling offensive play with brilliant defensive ability to ^in an end berth on the Greensboro Daily News All-State. Another, Joe (Little Tank) Smith who earned his nickname by his ter rific running at tailback last year, also made All-State. George Morrison, a bang-up defensive end, Paul Warren at center, and Tommy Ruggles, who would have m'ade anybody’s team just from his extra point kicking talents, are all among the missing. Add to the just mentioned gradua tion losses, Harold McNeill Bobby Renegar and Donald Bur ney, letter reserves, and you will see that gibes at coaches and “crying towels” are n6t all hu mor. On the bright side are five re turning lettermen, Johnny Wat kins, Bobby Cline, Bill Marley James Humphrey, and Billy Cox any one of whom can make any Class A high school team. From there on out though, de pendence must be put on reserves and inexperienced squadmen. It is a little early yet to offer any guesses as to the prowess of the present Blue Knight squad. But^ it is the opinion of this sports ■writ er, after looking at the Blue Knights work out, that a good team is in the making out Memorial Field. More aboqt that next week.

In their statement of issues and_ contentions, the board of educa-1 tion had suggested that the funds they asked for be obtained with-1 out raising the tax rate by cut ting the $135,000 allotted to Southern Pines schools to $59,- 655.68. They did not suggest change in the $13,400 allotted to the Pinehurst system. Inequity of division of capital outlay funds this year and since 1936, on a per capita basis, as between the county. Southern Pines and Pinehurst school sys tems, has been a major contention of the board of education. Mr. Kennedy’s decision noted that “no- oral evidence was offer ed that the need did not exist for allocation of $135,000 to the Southern Pines administrative unit.” The decision rejected the method of cutting Southern Pines’ allotment to find the requested additional county funds.
