, KENNETH CREECH, quarterbacking for the Blue Knights,
follows Charles Watkins for what turned out to be a big gain for
the locals as they whipped Aberdeen week before last. Creech,
rated as probably one of the top backs in the six-man conference,
has been prominently mentioned for all-state honors.

ferent.”
The committee was also in
structed to draw up a list of
firms which may be prospective
seekers of new locations.
Mr. Smyth, who helped locate
the Cornell Dubilier Company in
Sanford, said it had been his ex
perience that personal correspon
dence with heads of various com
panies produced the best results.
“In the Sandhills, where many
prominent men in industry have
retired and located their homes,
we have dozens of leads as to the
individual approach,” he pointed
out. “Many of these men would,
I am sure, be delighted to give
us their assistance in obtaining
new industry for the county.”
The committee discussed the
possibility that, within the next
few months. Piedmont Airlines
may curtail part of its service at
the Southern Pines-Pinehurst
Airport because of runway diffi
culties. The airport, now one of
the smallest in the county that
has regularly scheduled air serv
ice has no paved runways.
Under a new arrangement.
Piedmont is expected to obtain a
number of turbo-prop planes
next year and replace the pres
ent C-47s. they now use. Such
planes, it is believed, will not be
able to land at the airport here.
The committee will invite
members of the County Board of
Commissioners to sit in on the
next meeting, primarily to get
their feelings on obtaining new
industry, but the airport problem
will undoubtedly be discussed.
Ostrom directed each of the
community representatives to sel
ect one good industrial site in his
locality and either have a map
or an aerial photograph made of
it for inclusion in the brochure.
Burroughs said it would take
about two weeks, maybe longer,
to process the material for the
brochure to its best advantage.
Publication of the brochure has
been guaranteed by a still un
named ■“angel” of Moore County.
It is expected to cost in the
neighborhood of $1,500 to $2,000.

addition to Ostrom, Norris L.
