Page EIGHT THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1956 % 1 * 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.

'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 DANIEL. WEBSTER STRAIGHT BOURBON ■ WHBKEY - ■" “* I 86 PROOF ; PINT 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.

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.

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.

Adopted a routine resolution re quested by the bond attorneys in connection with the recent sale of $150,000 in town bonds, for sewer and water system improvements. Confirmed the manager’s desig nation of Porter, Barry and Asso ciates of Baton Rouge, La., as the town’s contingency fee engineers with regard to possible future construction of a municipal natu ral gas system.

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.” TWO BOYS (Continued from Page 1) and on Wednesday afternoons. RESORT PROMOTION (■Continued from Page 1) 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 are; Mrs. S. L. Windham, vice- chairman; Mrs. H. P. Boyette, secretary; F. D. Shamburger and W. P. Saunders. Pineblufif J. Douglas David was reelected chairman, of the Pinebluff com mittee. Mrs. W. K. Carpenter, Jr., was named vice-chairman. Other committee members are W. K.
