Little Activity—Since the open

week it has been somewhat like
the opening of school with no as
signments being made. The com
mittees have not been appointed
and until they are appointed little
real work will be done for the

Butner Hospital — Headed by
Rep. John W. Umstead- Jr., of
Chapel Hill, chairman of the
State Hospital Board of Control,
your representative with several
other members of the house and
senate visited the State Hospital
at Butner Tuesday morning, see
ing first hand the condition of the
hospital and the patients.
A great work is being done at
Butner and other state hospitals
for the mentally ill. We were told
that the average stay of a patient
at Butner now was around three
or four months whereas it used to
be that the treatment period was
much, much longer.
We were also told that during
1936, 38 per cent of the patients
admitted to Butner Hospital vol
unteered for- treatment. The hos-

pital authorities said that when
they could get a person in need of
treatment early that it was much
easier to successfully treat them.
No Delay—^Bi^tner Hospital is
now taking care of all adult re
quests for admittance without de
lay. With the great progress
which mdical science has made
in the treatment of the mentally
ill. Rep. Umstead said that when
the present renovation program
was completed that we would
have adequate facilities to take
care of all requests in the foresee
able future.
Youth—But for our boys and
girls the state has a large waiting
list for the mentally deficient. At
Kinston the state has a training
school which is crowded to capac
ity. At Butner permanent build
ings are now being erected to
take care of about 600 and the
General Assembly isi being asked
to provide funds to enable Butner
to take care of 1200 mentally defi
cient boys and girls.
Reaction — The huge Butner
Hospital was built by the Federal
government during World War 2.
It is of brick construction outside
but in the inside it was originally
finished with plaster and sheet-
rock. In some sections and wards
the condition got in pretty bad
shape. When one group of about
500 patients was moved from an
untidy section into a nice reno
vated section, many immediately
showed marked improvement. We
were told that of the 500 about 15
or 20 percent had to be fed by the
attendants but after the move all
but about 10 of the patients were
able to carry their own trays and
serve themselves.
Governor's Speech — On Mon
day night Governor Hodges deliv
ered his biennial message to the
General Assembly. Tuesday’s pa
pers well covered it. It was well
received, but many did not think
his proposal to give the teachers a
9% pay increase sufficient and
there will be a big fight to in
crease it.
Crabtree—Andrew J. Crabtree
of Carthage Route is again serv
ing as an assistant sergeant-at-
arms in the gallery of the house.
Since 1939 Mr. Crabtree,has serv
ed as an assistant sergeant-at-
arms in either the house or sen
ate.
Welcome—Whenever any of the
people from Moore are in Raleigh
while the General Assembly is in
session we hope they will drop
by the capitol and let their pres
ence be known.

Continuing through Thursday-
Saturday, at the Carolina is a re
turn date in the Sandhills of that
much talked of production, “An
astasia,” providing a superb ve
hicle for Ingrid Bergman’s return
to the American screen after a
seven year absence, who proves
that she has lost none of her
gracious charm or ability to sub
merge herself completely in a
role.
Yul Brynner and Helen Hayes
share top billings in this gripping
story about the lost daughter of
the last Russian Czar, and an
elaborate scheme to legitimize
her claim to a fortune.
Made in London, Paris and Co
penhagen this production in
Cinemascope and De Luxe Color
is on a grand scale.
It was necessary to switch this
picture from Feb. 10-13 to Feb.
14-16 by circumstances beyond
our control. ,

Starting Wednesday, Feb. 20, at
and 8:15 p. m. is the mystery
story, “The Wrong Man,” in
which director Alfred Hitchcock
holds the mirror up to life for the
first time.
In the long and fabulous ca
reer of Alfred Hitchcock, this is
the first time he has gone to life
for his story. In the same man
ner in which a director creates
his special brand of film magic,
he took his cameras to the actual
New York City locales of the
story; cafeterias, offices, apart
ments, clubs, streets and sub
ways all are seen in the film.
Henry Fonda and Vera Miles
play the roles of two people
caught in an amazing web of
mistaken identity. It is Mr. Fon
da’s initial performance for Mr
Hitchcock.

_ of “Gun
For a Coward,” the Universal-
International picture in color and
Cinemascope opening Sunday at
the Sunrise Theatre, Jeffrey
Hunter, who co-stars in it with
Fred MacMurray and Janice
Rule, had the feeling he was on
a spot.
That was because Jeff, as well
as everyone else on the set, knew
he was playing, a part which had
been ticketed for the late James
Dean. Before the untimely death
of that fine young actor, Warner
Bros, had taken an option on
'Gun For a Coward” and an
nounced it was to be a starring
vehicle for Dean. After his death,
Warners let the option lapse and
the screenplay was bought by
U-I.
This history had Jeff a little
worried for a while, he confessed
one day, explaining that “it’s
tough enough to act the same
role that some other actor has
previously done very well, but
it's even tougher to compete with
people’s opinions of how another
actor might have played a role.
“Then,” he added, “I realized
that such worries are utter futil-
|ity, that, after all, I have only
one acting ‘method’ and I’d apply
I it to this part just as I have to
all the other parts I’ve ever play
ed. This ‘method’ can best be
described as lack of method. I’m
not a mannered actor. I just try
to be the person the author im
agined.”
Mr. and Mrs. H. N. (Bill) Scott
of Carthage, who undertook the
chairmanship of the polio cam
paign in the county seat only Feb
ruary 2, this week soared trium
phantly past their $1,000 quota
and are still going strong.
The young couple, whose little
girl was a polio victim of the 1948
epidemic year, said they “couldn’t
let the March of Dimes down.”
When weeks went by without a
chairman having been secured,
they offered their services. These
were readily accepted and they
speedily set up an organization
and started collecting.
Early this week, they remitted
$851.17 to Treasurer C. H. Bow
man in Aberdeen, and Wednesday
Bill Scott said he had “around
$200 more in hand” with a good
many of his precincts not yet
heard from. Returns have yet to
come in from the Carthage Fab
rics Corporation and several resi
dential workers. And there will
be an extra lift from a collection
this Sunday at the Carthage Pres
byterian Church, and perhaps an
other church. These will wind up
the campaign, Scott said.
This was just one of several
fine news items about the Moore
County polio drive this week,
though the returns still don’t add
up to the quota of $7,560, by
something over $1,000.
Southern Pines this week pass
ed its quota of $1,750 as Chairman
Paul H. Butler reported $1,828.59
with returns still coming in. This
community is missing the USAF
Air-Ground school, which for the
past several years has run its own
campaign, netting from $800 to
more than $1,000 from students
and staff.
Mrs. Arthur Williams, chairman
at Eagle Springs, reported $144.72
—well past the $100 quota for this
small community. Mrs. Phillip
Mather’s first report from Pine-
bluff and viciniity totaled $153.21
—nea^y up to the $175 goal. 'The
amount was collected as follows:
Pinebluff, $129.61; Silver Springs,
$14.50 and Adder, $9.10, with spe
cial salutes to helpers Mrs. Hazel
Allison and Mrs. BiU Huston.
Chairihan Ralph G. Steed of
Robbins sent a first installment of
$320, with promise of more to
come “though times are hard here
and the $1,000 goal looks a long
way off.” '
C. Edson Powers, Highfalls
chairman, sent $160—just $40
more, and he will reach the goal;
and Pinehurst Chairman J. Frank
McCaskill reported $1,026.55, al
most'up to the $1,050 quota.
Already over the top \vere Ni
agara, where, with a quota of $30,
Mrs. Gurney Bowles turned in
$53.50—the first to pass the goal;
Cameron, where Mrs. Merla S.
Gaines passed her $200 quota by
$54.41; Farm Life, where Mrs.
Paul Greene had a quota of $50
and more than doubled it, with
$113.31. .
Mrs. Louis Bellet at last report
was just $5 short of her $50 goal;
and J. F. Sinclair of West End hit
it right on the nose with $300, but
promising more to come.
At Roseland, Mrs. Clayton Kirk
more than made her $30 quota,
divided into $26.02 from Roseland
and $16.52 from Narrow Ridge.
Aberdeen Chairman, Curtis Mc-
Innis, who passed the $1,000 quo
ta last week, was heading this
week toward the 1,200 mark.
Most of these amounts have
been turned in to the treasurer,
who totaled up his holdings in the
amount of $4,819.79. Sums re
ported though not turned in bring
the whole to approximately
$6,500. Communities not yet
heard from include Vass, Glendon
and Jackson Springs.
