ALL SMILES—One of the most interesting exhibits to Scouts
camping on the Fort Bragg reservation last week-end was this
H-13 helicopter which is used for wire-laying, medical evacuation
(note the casualty carrying case at the side of the machine, left)
and other Army purposes. Three Southern Pines boys are shown
standing, left to right: Bob Rader of Troop 223; Johnny Bristow
of Troop 224 and Ronnie Strickland of Troop 224. Other Scouts
try out the seats under the plexiglass dome that protects the
pilot. The helicopter landed in a small clearing while the boys
watched. Thousands of lives were saved by such helicopters as
these in Korea, the boys were told. They made possible speedy
evacuation of wounded from inaccessible areas. (Pilot Photo)

'A FABLE WITH A BIG MORAL'
Writes Unique Tribute To Mothers
Chief Warrant Officer Joseph
F. Ganis, whose home is at 250 N.
Ashe St., and who is now on duty
with the Air Force in Newfound
land, marked Mother’s Day one
recent year by sitting down at
home and writing for his wife
what he called “A Fable With A
Big Moral.” He and his wife,
Mrs. Rosa Lee Ganis, are the par
ents of four children—Ronald, 12;
Bobby, 9; Eugene, 8; and Ann, 5.
What he wrote and then hand
ed to his wife as a Mother’s: Day
greeting on that occasion, printed
this week because Sunday will be
Mother’s Day, was this:
“A long time ago mothers did
not exist; so one day a man adver
tised and the ad read something
like this;
“ ‘Wanted: woman with low as
pirations and high standards, to do
house work, raise kids, wash dish
es, do a lot of mending on the
side. Job offers no opportunity
for advancement, no vacation, no
pay; and all the time of tl;ie day
and rdght.’
“Obviously, not even a fool
would answer an ad like this; so
God stepped into the picture and
that’s the way mothers were born.
“Happiest of happy Mother’s
Days, Mother!”
Mrs. Ganis is so proud of this
greeting she thought others ought
to see it and would maybe enjoy
it as much as she did.
CWC) Ganis and his family are

becoming old timers in this area.
He’s a native of Rochester, N. Y.,
and his wife’s from Charlotte, but
for three years before he was sent
to Nfewfoundland a year ago, he
was stationed with the USAF Air-
Ground Operations School here,
working with purchasing and con
tracting. And before that he had
been stationed for five years at
nearby Pope Air Force Base.
The Ganises like Southern Pines
so well and think it’s such a good
place to raise a big family, that
they are staying here.
When Mother’s Day arrives
again Sunday, CWO Ganis will
still be at Ernest Harmon AFB in
Newfoundland, but it’s a safe bet
he’ll be thinking of home. And
his family, cheered again by his
unique greeting, will no doubt be
tl^inking of him.
Just to top it off this year, Sun
day is also Mrs. Ganis’ birthday—
all in all a big day in the Ganis
household.
Moore Woman Gets
Suspended Prison
Term In Shooting
Elsie Elizabeth Cummings, 31,
charged with shooting her broth
er-in-law last August, was found
guilty and sentenced to 18
months in the women’s division
of Central Prison by Judge Frank
M. Armstrong in Superior Court
last Friday.
Judge Armstrong suspended
the sentence for five years, pro
viding the woman, who had mar
ried since the incident occurred,
pay all hospital bills and remain
on good behavior for five years.
Judge Armstrong also handed
down the following sentences:
Kenneth Callicut and Ernest
Franklin Kennedy, charged with
two counts of breaking and en
tering, were sentenced to 12
months at a first offender’s camp
with an Additional three to five
years in Central Prison, suspend
ed on good behavior conditions
and payment of $78 each.
E. A. Martin, pleading not guil
ty at first, changed his plea to
nolo contendere and drew six
months on the roads, with 12
months suspended for five years,
for drunken driving, resisting ar
rest and assault with a deadly
weapon.
Edna Berline Davis was fined
$25 and costs for speeding.
Elbert C. Davis was found not
guilty on a second offense of
drunken driving.
Blue Knights Lose
To Mt. Gilead In
District Playoffs
, The Southern Pines Blue
Knights, tops in county baseball
competition, were eliminated in
the first rounds of district play
offs by Mt. Gilad, 4-0, Saturday
afternoo’n at Memorial Field.
The^ game, which marked the
first time the Knights had been
defeated this season (they had
won 13 straight), had been post
poned from Friday because of a
wet field.
Coach Irie Leonard said it was
the first time this season the
team had failed to hit. Billy Cox
and Tony Parker both hit singles
in the second inning, the only hits
the Blue Knights got in the game.
Johnny Watkins, who had won
six games so far during the sea
son, turned in a creditable per
formance on the mound, allowing
nine hits, striking out seven, and
walking just four. Had the
Knights been hitting at all, the
pitching job might have been suf
ficient, but with no hits to back
him up, Watkins was outdone.
Mt. Gilead scored two runs in
the fourth when two men were
safe on errors. A double scored
th^m. Later in the inning the vis
itors loaded the bases but Wat
kins bore down and caused the
last batter to fly out.
Haywood, pitching for Mt. Gil
ead, allowed the two hits, struck
out seven, and allowed five
walks.
Southern Pines, had. it won the
game and another, would not
have played in the county tour
nament and would have auto
matically become the county
champion. But the loss forced
them into the county tournament,
where they are seeded number
one.
The Knights play 'Tuesday
against the winner of a series of
elimination games that included
Aberdeen, Pinehurst, West End
and Vass-Lakeview.
Finals in the county tourna
ment are set for Friday, May 18,
at Mmorial Field.
Playing in the lower bracket
are Carthage, Robbins, West-
moore, Highfalls and Farm Life.
Robbins was seeded second in
the tournament.
TOWN OFFICES
(Continued from page 1)
making these changes in the “Res
idence I” zoning regulations;
Creation of a special district
consisting of the KnoUwood
Heights area in which the square
foot area of floor space required
in new homes was increased from
1,200 to 1,750.
Increase of the square foot re
quirement in the rest of Residence

mouth Heights east of Ridge St.
and south of Delaware Ave.
Setting the required side yard
width in Residence I at 16 per
cent of the street frontage, with
a minimum of 12 and a maximum
of 30 feet.
The zoning amendments include
various other minor changes.
No Parking Near School
Another matter that has been
under consideration for some time
was settled Tuesday night when
the council adopted an ordinance
prohibiting parking during school
hours on both sides of Massachu
setts Ave., between Ridge St. and
Country CUub Drive. This is the
block that contains the Southern
Pines elementary school on the
north side of Massachusetts Ave.
and the measure was enacted for
the protection of school children
who might run into the street
from behind parked cars.
The law will go into effect June
1.

The council also:
Directed the city manager to get
more details from W. F. Babcock

ing specialists, as to the cost and
details of retaining the firms for
regular consultation by the coun
cil.
Authorized the manager to ad
vertise and seU by public auction
a 50-foot lot owned by the town

Iowa Ave. A bona fide offer of
$100 for the lot has been made to

noted.
Directed that a public hearing
be advertised to consider the re
quest of Hubert C. F. Williams to
convert “Eats Grill” at the corner

hearing results from a request to
the planning board in regard to a
proposed business development,
details of which were not disclos
ed.
Confirmed the manager’s con
tract with Pitometer Associates,
at a cost of less than $100, for a

using each of the lines.
Authorized the manager and

He had had several complaints
from patrons, he said, and stafrted
investigating the looting shortly
after it started.
Most of the missing mail has
been recovered. Pierce and his
assistants are still searching for
more. He has several piles at the
postoffice new, some of it water-
soaked, assorting and preparing
it. for delivery.
The boys, picked up this morn
ing, said they had done it “mostly
for a lark.”
Postal inspector John Eggers of
Greensboro has been in town to
day working on the case.
Pierce cautioned patrons this
morning against leaving keys in
their boxes and urged that they
be sure that the boxes are closed
before leaving them.
“If people would exercise more
caution in the way they close
their boxes,” he said, “such a
thing as this could never have
happened. Almost any time you
go into the postoffice you can see
several boxes partially open. V/e
urge people to please not leave
their keys in their boxes and
make double sure they are closed
before leaving them,. That is one
sure method of discouraging
would-be thieves.”

RESORT PROMOTION

ing as much as $5,000 per year for
advertising.
Mr. Stitzer said that the resort
section of the New York Times
would be an excellent advertising
medium, but without a coordinat
ed program between town, hotels
and others, it is not possible to
buy space that will show up well.
Town and private funds should be
pooled to get effective advertising,
he thinks.
He said he had discussed his
ideas with George Pottle of the
Hollywood Hotel and had met
with general agreement. Mr. Stit
zer said that, although he is not
now operating a resort hotel, he
would contribute to a coordinated
advertising campaign.
BLUE ENDORSED
(Continued from page 1)
which will be held in Raleigh
Thursday, May 17.
Delegates to the national con
vention, which will be held in
Chicago this year August 13, wiU
be named at the state convention.
Brown said. Because North Caro
lina gave Stevenson the largest
number of votes erf any state in
1952, the state will get sis^ addi
tional seats at the national con
vention this year, it is believed,
but because of district complica
tions the number may be reduced
to four. It is, however, uncertain
yet just what the final number
will be.
Mayor Voit Gilmore of South
ern Pines moved that the precinct
endorse the candidacy of Blue as
a delegate to the national conven
tion and suggested a three-man
committee be appointed to work
with the other precincts toward
that end. Hill appointed Gilmore,
Mrs. Swisher and L. F. Garvin to
the committee.
The precinct committee adopt
ed a resolution that will be pre
sented at the county convention
endorsing Blue and asking that
the county convention also en
dorse him.
The committee also passed a
resolution endorsing Brown to
succeed himself as county chair
man of the Democratic Executive
Committee.
Before the meeting was over
Brown reminded the committee
that Moore County and Southern
Pines went Republican in 1952.
“■We must reverse that this year,”
he said. “I’d surely like to see
my home town go Democratic at
least once during my tenure as
county chairman of the Democrat
ic party.”
Aberdeen
H. Clifton Blue was reelected
chairman of the Aberdeen Pre
cinct committee. Other officers
and mem,bers of the committee
