US Highway 1, undergoing
considerable rebuilding and
improvement in Moore County,
received another boost last Fri
day when Governor Hodges al
located $800,000 for improve
ments South of Raleigh.
The money came from a $13
million plus highway fund sur
plus accumulated dring the past
two fiscal years.
The US 1 project, under study
for several years, would provide
a new route for several miles
south of Raleigh. It falls into an
Overall plan for maintaining the
highway as an integral part of
North - South travel in North
Carolina.
The Southern Pines Town
Council, which held a special
meeting Friday morning, voted
to express gratitude and admira
tion for the allocation, which it
said in a telegram to Governor
Hodges would “assure highway
improvements long so critically
needed.”

been considered fairly small by a
number of golfers and the only
way to improve the situation was
in rebuilding them.
A recent financing program
which had the support of the en
tire club, made the new work
possible. Strouse pointed out that
the members, since assuming the
operation of the club, had con
stantly sought new ways to make
the club more attractive. “Golf
in this area is, as we all are
aware of, nne of the most impor
tant recreations we have, from a
standpoint of both families and
visitors,” he said. “We are keep
ing in mind, during the improve
ment program, the fact that
Southern Pines has gained
wide reputation for the excel
lence of its golf courses. If the
facilities for golf are good
enough, that reputation will con
tinue to grow;
Still needed in the program is
some work on revision of a num
ber of traps and several spots in
the rough, both designed to make
the course more attractive from
a golfer’s standpoint.

mullitude of good Tar Heels in
Winston-Salem in 1952, I stated
that we were on the road to a
two-party system in the South,
that you believed in States Rights
and local folks handling local af
fairs, iind everybody went into a
sort of frenzy, and really did
some heavy and fancy whoopin''
and hollerin'. After the election,
somehow or other, you got off
the road and got on a detour and
ended up in California. The only
time you have looked Slouth
since is to see what weather con
ditions are in Augusta.
Having written off the South,
the South this time will most
likely write you off, so let the
battle rage some other place.
When you talk about peace, don’t
forget it was Franklin D. Roose
velt who said “I het waar,” and
we ain’t had nothing but “waar”
ever since.
When you talk about prosper
ity, don't forget it was Hoover
who was elected on the platform
of Prohibition and Prosperity,
and then abolished both of themi.
When you talk about foreign pol
icy. When you talk about the
common man, don't forget Joe
Smith. He was treated pretty
common in Califomuu
When you kick people in the
pants, kicking people in the
pants gets to be a popular pas
time. It may be old Joe’s turn to
kick a little. This is a dangerous
election. Voters are ruthless and
love to puU for the underdog
and beat the holier-than-thou
crowd. So since Eisenhower
rhymes with Ivory Tower, it is
now time for you to get out from
behind the Nylon Curtain and
come down and mingle with the
folks.
“Caveat Emptor.”
CHUB SEAWELL
Ex-Republican
Seawell, it will be remember
ed, read himself out of the Re
publican Party several years
back. He has said repeatedly
since then that one of the chief
reasons for his leaving the Party
was that President Eisenhower
and other leaders had failed to
make any attempts to help build
a two-party system in the South.
“What we are seeing right
now,” he said Monday When
questioned about his letter, “is a
return of the old carpet bagging
system that the South was sub
jected to after the Civil War. The
Republican Party, I’m afraid, is
being run from the top, rather
than from the local level. The
Washington crowd is completely
ignoring what Republicans at the
local level want. Instead, they
send a man down here, he pokes
around and, first thing you
know, they’ve appointed a man
who isn’t suitable at all to local
leaders. The situation is bad,
very bad.”
Asked who he was going to
vote for this year, Seawell had
only One comment:
“Well,” he said, “the Republi
can Party obviously doesn’t
want me, or others who believe
in the old Taft policies. I’m going
to find me a new home. . . the
Democrats have the only one
left. You figure it from there.”
While that was not a flat state
ment that the ex-Republican
leader would vote the Demo
cratic ticket, it left little to the
imagination.
He said he was not actively
working for any candidate at the
present time, and had made no
plans to do so. He suggested,
however, that voters interested
in a ‘“two-party system,” which
he termed indispensable to good
government, make their wishes
toown.

scale in view of the comparative
size of the two towns.
CHIEF NEWTON
(Continued from page 1)
said, “If it hadn’t been for Chief
Newton I couldn’t have saved my
boy. He seemed to understand
him when I did not—he could
talk to him.” Businessmen told
of how Chief has quietly hunted
jobs for youngsters whose idle
hands were getting them into
mischief. This is true of white
and Negro edike.
Charles Edwin Newton was
born in Southern Pines, the des
cendant of original Scottish pion
eers on his mother’s side, while
of New England heritage on the
other. His father, the late Scott
Rockwood Newton, came from
New Hampshire. His mother, the
former Catherine Shaw, is the
daughter of “Squire” Charles
Washington Shaw, former owner
of Shaws Ridge which formed the
site of Southern Pines. “Squire”
Shaw was the first mayor of
Southern Pines. Mrs. Newton,
mother of the Chief, was bom in
the Shaw House, now restored by
the Moore County Historical As
sociation as a typical quaint
pioneer home of the early 1800’s.
He is married to the former
Cartie Corinna Hussey of Rob
bins, and they have five chil
dren, James Edwin, Greensboro;
John Scott, Southern Pines;
Catherine (Mrs. C. D. Smith),
West Hartford, Conn.; Lucille
(Mrs. Roland Jager), Fort Sill,
Okla.; and Richard, a student at
the University of Alabama.
He is a Southern Pines High
School graduate.
As Chief in a resort comprising
many divergent elements, from
the very wealthy on down to the
extremely underprivileged, New
ton has unusual problems which
he has handled with a minimum
of complaints. (It is too much to
expect of any police officer that
there should be none at all, and
would probably be a sign he
wasn’t doing his job!)
Since becoming Chief he has
kept a continually open mind
on improvements to meet the
changing times, pushing expan
sion and modernizing of the de
partment whenever consonant
with the frugality imposed by
municipal finances.
During the past decade the de
partment has grown from a four-
man force with minimum equip
ment to a department of seven
officers, also a desk force of three
persons on eight-hour shifts, to
provide 24-hour, seven-day-a
week service. Additions of the
past few years have been the pa
trol car and excellent two-way
radio equipment. Because of a
limited budget he has in most
cases taken green hands as
“rookies” on the force, and train
ed them himself to become po
licemen.
He has himself taken special
training at the Institute of Gov-
Womasi Who Made

Scouts Preparing
For Fall Camporee
October 19-20
In addition to its current efforts
to raise $159,000 operating budget
for 1957, Moore District Scouts are
looking ahead to the Fall Campo
ree, to be held October 19 and 20
in the Pinehurst Field Trials area.
A study of astronomy will be a
featured part of this seasonal ex
cursion of a large portion of the
scouts and their leaders in Moore
County, and various awards will
be made.
'The “Dawn to Dusk” campaign,
which was officially conducted
Tuesday of this week, under direc
tion of Moore District Drive
Chairman William H. Burroughs,
has not yet announced results of
the appeal on county or council
levels, but should do so early next
week. Kiick-off- breakfasts were

for softness, beauty and warmth
uppermost in his mind.
“The design as approved per
mits two beautiful courtyards
which will preserve a maximum
of trees and shrubs, an effort that
would not be possible with other
architectural styles. The Council
believes these courtyards will be
among the loveliest assets of the
entire Town.
“The design fits attractively in
to the Town park block, preserv
ing a maximum of space for recre
ation.
Colonial Considered
“Colonial design was considered
most seriously and not accepted
only after it became apparent that
the cost of such design would eas
ily add 25-50 percent to the cost
of the building. In addition, colo
nial design was not flexible
enough to permit efficient layout
of Town departments, a fact sub
stantiated by a 300 mile trip made
by the Council to inspect the most
modern colonial municipal build
ing in the South.”
Reached at his office this morn
ing Hayes said it was difficult to
say when the building would ac
tually be under construction.
“We have had countless meet
ings with the Council regarding
the design and have been held up
for that reason,” he said. “We
have, however, started the final
drawings, something we could not
do while the building design was
under consideration. Perhaps the
actual construction will be started
soon after the first of the year.
“Structural and mechanical en
gineers have also been held up
and their final drawings are not
ready at present.”
Hayes also pointed out that the
law requires at least a month of
advertising for bids, more time
that will be needed before con
struction begins.
The building will be located on
the same site as the old town hall Tci'n^v IVf t-i'n'l-i'n O/f

Looked Over Other Buildings
Prior to deciding on the plan
finally chosen for the new South
ern Pines building, several mem
bers of the town council inspected
other municipal buildings in
neighboring towns, with the prin
cipal purpose of deciding what
style of architecture to adopt.
Among buildings visited was a
new town hall in Camden, South
Carolina, of Southern Colonial ar
chitecture. Recently completed,
the building, of steel and masonry
construction, plastered within and
with terrazzo, and tile flooring,
was erected at a cost of slightly
under $11.50 a square foot. The
Camden building includes the
same facilities with a few addi-
