em Pines has been appointed Di
rector of Volunteers of Moore
Memorial Hospital in Pinehurst,
according to an announcement
made at last week’s fall meeting
of the Woman’s Auxiliary.
The appointment was made
through the combined efforts of
the hospital administrator and
the Auxiliary, who felt the ur
gent need for some one to act as
official liaison between the hos
pital and the volunteers. Mrs.
Pearson will be on the regular
professional staff of the hospital.
Hospital officials hope that un
der her leadership an orientation
program for new volunteers will
be possible, and also training for
any others who may wish to help
in various ways.
Volunteer service is a well es
tablished necessity in the daily
operations of Moore Memorial.
The program provides opportuni
ties for the performance of tasks
vital to the welfare and happi
ness of the patients. It was first
initiated in 1952, during the pres
idency of the late Miss Laura
Kelsey, who felt that the auxili
ary should serve as well as give,
and since that time many volun
teers in cherry-red smocks have
been seen daily performing
duties previously done by the
staff.

Greenhouses Sun.
Anybody who wants to get in
on a fine burst of fall coloring
should go over to Pinehurst and
see the chrysanthemums in the
new showrooms of the Pinehurst
Greenhouses, where there are
plants and cut flowers galore, in
a wide range of colors. Like the
woods: oranges, yellows, bronzes,
rusts, reds. But not only fall col
ors. Some of them, in fact, make
you think more of Spring with
its delicate pinks and creamy
whites.
The showrooms, offices and
workroom are in a new building
•which provides a fine background
for the flowers. It is convenient
ly located in front of the green
houses. Walls and window dra
pery are of a light green and
this color is repeated in the floor
tile. The rooms are sunny and
attractive, with plenty of cabinet
space and display shelves, result
ing in added convenience for
both buyers and sellers.
The new building opens offi
cially this Sunday, with the wel
come mat out all day. If the sun
shines on that day the way it did
when we saw it, a visit there and
to the green houses will be a
pleasant experience.
