Road Petitions
Prior to appointing . the com
mittee for rural fire protection
the commissioners conducted the
usual monthly business, going
over bills and inspecting applica
tions for welfare aid.
In addition, they approved and
forwarded to the State Highway
Commission a number of peti
tions for improving rural roads
in Moore County.
Included were: approval of a
petition to pave (blacktop) Penn
sylvania Ave. Extension West of
Southern Pines; improve and
keep up a new road in Sheffield
Township from the Star Road to
Browers Farm, about 7|10 miles;
a similar petition for two miles

Business Session
Held By Rotarians
Members of the Southern Pines
Rotary Club, meeting without
guest speaker at the Country
Club last Friday, turned the en
tire session over to a discussion
of business matters.
Almost every member of the
club was appointed to at least
one committee to make arrange
ments for the annual North Caro
lina Rotary Convention at Pine-
hurst early in February.
President A. C. Dawson made
the appointments and urged the
committees to begin work imme
diately to insure the success of
the convention.
Though no final vote was tak
en, the club discussjed the current
state of the June Phillips Mem
orial Fund and what should be
done to make it more acceptable
to high school students.
Originally established to help
deserving students who are at
tending college in preparation for
a teaching career, the fund has
been going idle for some time.
The club discussed the possibil
ity of doing away with the pro
vision that requires any recipient
to be a potential teacher. Quite
probably, the members decided,
the fund will be used in the fu
ture for students planning to go
into other professions.
A repbrt from Ed Smail, treas
urer, indicated the club was in
sound financial condition.
Next meeting of the club is Fri
day at the Country Club.
the title and retire the W. M.
Storey Memorial Trophy. It was
the first visit for Mi^s Cowan.
Players are expected fromi Ra
leigh, Durham, Goldsboro, Chap
el Hill, Charlotte, Sanford and
other places. Some of these have
been attending for years and are
rated as “Sandhill regulars.”
Some “regulars” will also be
missing. This will be the first
tournament to be played without,
either or ‘both of the Browns— ‘
Harry Lee, Jr., and his sister, Au
drey. Both were married during
the past year and Dr. Brown is
living in Michigan while Audrey
is living in Graham.
However, much interest in the
Sandhill has been noted at tennis
events held around the State
earlier in the summer, and Chair
man Hodgkins said, ‘‘We are sure
we will have a representative
showing of excellent players.” ^
Events will consist of men’s
and women’s singles and doubles,
with mixed doubles. Trophies
will be given winners and run
ner-up in each event.
'a social event is always a high
light of the tournament. This will
be a buffet supper held Thursday
night at the Southern Pines Civic
Club. Mrs. Hubert Cameron is
chairman of the supper and has
selected a committee to assist
her.
Kenneth Tew is in charge of
courts, and Mrs. Charles Phillips
is in charge of the ticket sale for
a prize drawing at the end of the
tournament.
Invitation is extended all local
persons interested in tennis to en
ter the tournament as partici
pants, or to be on hand as specta
tors during the afternoons and
evenings next week, Hodgkins
said.
Jack Younts, president and gp-
eral manager of radio station
WEEB in Southern Pines, is plan
ning to attend the National Dem
ocratic convention in Chicago
next week as an accredited radio
correspondent for the ABC net
work.
Younts, who covered both the
Democratic and Republican Con
ventions in 1952, will provide
special coverage on tape for
WEEB listeners, spotlighting the
North Carolina delegation.
In his capacity as accredited
correspondent, he is also respon
sible for covering the Massachu
setts delegation.
Joe Warren, assistant manager
of WEEB, wiU also attend the
convention. He will join the North
Carolina delegation on its special
convention train.
Younts said he would airmail
special interviews with various
state officials to Southern Pines to
add to WEEB’s fuU coverage of
the convention.

in West Southern Pines is the
large number of teen-agers who
hang around nightspots and cafes.

very difficult,” he said, “for the
present police force to recognize
all these teenagers and tell them
to go home. The addition of Ne
gro police protection, people who
know the ages of West Southern
Pines children, would do much in
solving the problem.”
Morse said the teenage situa
tion was becoming so bad that a
number of people, including ex-
servicemen, had approached him
with thfe idea of volunteering their
services.
