Coroner Reports
47 Deaths In ’56
Were Investigated
Traffic accidents accounted for
14 deaths in Moore County in
1956, according to a report filed
with the County Board of Com
missioners recently by Ralph G.
Steed, coroner.
Steed said that 47 deaths re
quired his investigation during
the year, one less than the previ
ous year. He broke down the fig
ures to show that 14 deaths were
caused by highway accidents, 14
from natural causes, five by sui-
side, four by drowning, two by
accidents other than highway, two
by homicide, and one each by
■plane accident, suffocation, burn
ing, acute alcoholism, and being
struck by a train.
(Three of the drownings occur
red when a flash flood near Rob
bins last summer took the lives of
a mother and her daughter and a
Pinehurst man. The other was a
Negro who drowned in a farm
' pond.)
Steed listed only one death in
the “unknown” column, that of a
Negro woman found dead on a
logging road near Addor. He said
the woman had been there some
time when discovered, and that
intensive investigation had failed
to determine the cause of death.
Request Made To
Close Road Thru
Loeal Golf Course
Abandonment of the road
through the Southern Pines
Country Club golf course was
approved by the Moore County
Board of County Commissioners
last week.
'The move cEune at the recom
mendation of T. G. Poindexter,
district engineer for the State
Highway Commission.
Poindexter told the commis
sioners that a new road has
been constructed in the area
and is in use. He said the
old road, about one-half mile, is
no longer needed and requested
its abandonment. There are no
houses located on the road in its
entire length, he pointed out.
In a letter to the commission
ers Poindexter said the new
overhead bridge built along with
the road had been constructed
partially with funds provided by
the Seaboard Airline Railroad.
“Abandonment of the road had
been under consideration for at
least five years, he pointed out,
adding that many complaints
had been registered by citizens
whose cars had been hit by golf
balls. The road crosses through
the golf course between Nos. 1
and 2 fairways.
The commissioner^ also enter
tained a petition requesting con
struction of a new road, a half
mile in length, serving eight
homes from 'West Southern Pines
school eastward toward the
Holly Tree Nursery.
The annual cost of grain eaten
or contaminated by one rat is es
timated at 20 dollars. The annual
room and board cost of four rats
is about equal to what most
farmers pay for a ton of commer
cial feed.
There are 22, 358 farm ponds
in North Carolina.

DRIVE CAREFULLY-
More than 130 new industries
began operations in North Caro
lina during the past year.
Poisoning is the recommended
method of control of pine mice in
apple orchards, says Melvin H.
Kolbe, Extension horticultural
specialist at North Csirolina State
College. Poisoning should be
done in the late fall and early
winter, and at other times if ac
tivity is found. One, and prefer
ably both, of the following baits
should be used. (1) Zinc phos
phide rodenticide—one level tea
spoonful, dusted evenly on one
quart of apples or csirrots freshly
cut in pieces one-half inch by one
inch. (2) Strychnine treated oats
(U. S. Fish and 'Wildlife Service
formula).
