TO BE GUESTS HERE
Out-of-State Editors To Get Look
At Sandhills On Unique Air Cruise
WiUie Martin Gamer, 37, of
Robbins was killed instantly
shortly after 1 o’clock Monday
when his oar and a truck loaded
with chicken feed collided f#i the
West End-Hoffman Road. It was
the second fatality recorded this
year on rural roads in Moore
County.
State Highway Patrolman Ed
Shomaker, who investigated the
accident along with Patrolman
J. F. Swaim, said the contribu
ting reason was apparently high
speed. His investigation contin
ued today.
He said that Gaimer’s 1953
Ford hit the truck, which was
driven by Altener Farzo Bynum,
Goldston Negro, and went up
under the truck. An inspection
of the site indicated, he said,
that Gamer was driving partial
ly on Uie wrong side of the road.
The collision was so severe that
the wheels on the tmck were
tom loose. Gamer’s body was
badly mangled.
The load of feed which Bynum
was hauling was spilled over the
road. ■ '
North Carolina, including size
able portions of the Sandhills, will
be viewed from the sky by dis
tinguished newspaper and maga
zine editors May 17-22. Thomas
L. Robinson of ^ Charlotte, presi
dent of the North Carolina Press
Association, made the announce
ment and also released a detailed
schedule the guests will foUow.
An over-night stop is planned
for Southern Pines-Pinehurst.
While here, the editors will be
guests of Mrs. James Boyd, editor
of The Pilot and a member of the
Press Association Committee, and
of Pinehurst, Incorporated.
The visiting editors will fly
from Cape Hatteras to the Great
Smokies on an air cruise arrang
ed by the State Department of
Conservation and Development.
The cmise will cover more than
2,000 miles and give the out-of-
state editors an aerial glimpse of
the state.
Purpose of the tour, Robinson
said, is to enable the editors, all
from top-flight newspapers and
magazines, to meet and get to
know Governor Hodges, editors
and other citizens on the informal
basis afforded by such a unique
“aerial house party.” He said he
believed the “see-it-yourself” air
cruise would be of great value in
bringing North Carolina’s attrac
tions for new industry and tour
Bynum was unhurt, though
badly shaken up. A passenger in
the truck, identified as Bascom
Creasy, was slightly injured.
Funeral services for Gamer
were held Wednesday at Taber
nacle Methodist Church in Rob
bins, conducted by the Rev.
Clyde Cockman and the Rev.
Bennie Mnaess.
Survivors include his wife,
Mary Maloy Gamer; two sons
and a daughter, Willie, Thomas
and Patricia; his parents, Mr.
eind Mrs. J. T. Gamer of Route
1, Eagle Springs; one sister, Mrs.
Howard Davis, also of Route 1,
Eagle Springs; and five brothers,
Jim of High Point, -Clyde of
Winston-Salem, and Robert,
Clarecne and Curtis, of the home.

hold a bake sale Saturday morn
ing from 9 to 12 at 124 S. W.

Franthel’s Beauty Shop. Fresh

Blue Knights Top
Vass, Aberdeen,
Lose To Robbins
In a special makeup game last
Saturday the Blue Knights, be
hind the effective three-hit pitch
ing of Steve Smith, avenged an
earlier loss by defeating Vass-
Lakeview 5-3.
This was especially pleasant for
the Knights; Vass had been the
only coimty team to defeat them
this year and in so doing, their ace
pitcher, Bobby Apple, had struck
out 21 batters.
Apple stmck out 1^, still pretty
good, in the second game but was
unable to hold off the timely hit
ting of Ted Ward and , Robert
Woodruff. Smith also managed a
few strikeouts, fanning 10.
The win gave the Blue Knights
the Eastern Moore County Confer
ence Championship, which was
played off ’Tuesday with Robbins,
winner in the West. The game
was to determine who would rep
resent the county in state play
offs.
The Knights went into the
game as decided underdogs. Rob
bins’ ace pitcher, Jerry O’Neil,
had pitched three no-hit games in
succession.
The locals were ahead 5-2 in
the sixth inning and had two men
out, just one away froip what
might have been a sure vic
tory. An infield error, however,
let ini one run and two later scor
ed, tying the game. _
In the second extra inning John
Van Benschoten, who had reliev
ed -Smith in the sixth, walked
a man, Tony Parker made an er
ror, allowing the walked man to
get to third, and Jerry McNeil
singled, knocking in the winning
run.
Last Thursday the Blue Knights
defeated Aberdeen in the second
of their games this season, 7-1.
Smith was again on the mound,
relieving van Benschoten in the
third. He pitched hitless ball for
his part of the game. Billy Hamel
and Lynn van Benschoten were
heavy hitters, as was Tony Park
er, who had a home run.
Coach Irie Leonard said the
rest of the schedule is indefinite
but that a scheduled game with
Carthage would be played Friday
night here.
The regular county tournament
will be discussed by coaches Sat

Prison fescapee,
After 16 Months
Freedom, Gives Up
A young prison camp escapee
who, after more than a year of
freedom, turned himself in volun
tarily to the authorities and is
now finishing out his term, re
ceived a minimum sentence in
Moore criminal court Monday.
Charles Milan, of Cabarrus
coimty, said that after his escape
from Highway Prison Camp 805,
near Carthage, in December, i955,
he had made his way to Chicago,
had gotten a job, avoided trouble
and was doing all right, but that
he had early this year gone to the
Chicago police and told them his
story. He said, “I wanted to get
all that behind me, and get a fresh
start as a good citizen.” North
Carolina authorities were notified
and he was returned here in
March.
Supt. M. C. Jackson of the pris
on camp said that he had only
about 40 days left to serve, and
that he had been “a good prison
er” since his return. He was serv
ing 10 months for drunken driv
ing, plus 90 days for dnmkeimess,
plus 30 days for an earlier escape.
The case went before the Grand
Jury as a second escape offense,
putting it into the felony classifi
cation.' However, defense coun
sel brought out, the first escape
had been only “for about an
hour” when he had walked off
from the road crew. The second
time, he had escaped from under
armed guard.
Milan’s parents sat beside him
in court. Judge Preyer said that,
in view of aU the circumstances,
he wanted to cooperate in Milan’s
apparent effort toward good citi
zenship, adding that he was “a
nice looking, intelligent boy,” and
should make good. He said, how
ever, he had no choice but to give
him thq minimum of six months.
