Colin Spencer To
Head N. C. State
Alumni Chapter
State College alumni in this
county have elected Colin G.
Spencer of Carthage as president
of their association for the com-
. ing year.
Mr. Spencer, a lumberman,
was elected at a meeting held in
Carthage Monday night. He suc
ceeds Gordon Cameron of Pine
hurst. ,
Other officers are T. C. John
ston, eijgineer with the State
Highway Commission in Aber
deen, vice president; and Calvin
Howell, architect of Southern
Pines.
Professor G. W. Giles, head of
the Agricultural Engineering De
partment at State, was princi
pal speaker at the meeting Mon
day. He spoke on the work of the
college and its aims for the fu
ture and urged the alumni mem
bers to take a more active inter
est in the affairs of State.
Also on the program was Sher-
rell Brinkley, an official of
State’s General Alumni Associa
tion.
Mr. Spencer said another meet
ing of the association would be
held in the fall.
How important would a North
South airline connection be for
the Sandhills?
Since Piedmont Airlines, which
serves this area on a seasonal
basis, has applied for such a
route—one which would connect
the area directly with the Ra
leigh-Durham Airport—the ques
tion has been asked by many.
The answers, as supplied by
those who would be affected the
most, are impressive. |
Captain George Shearwood,
who operates a travel bureau in
Pinehurst, says that practically
90 per cent of the air traffic from
Southern Pines and Pinehurst is
on a North-Bouth basis.
“Of course we have some busi
ness to Chicago and other points
in the Mid West during the tour
ist season,” he said, “btit it
doesn’t compare in size with that
which is generated in the East
and North.
“I would think that a North-
South connection for this area,
which Piedmont apparently is
about to obtain, would bs a tre
mendous boost to our tourist
business. And, of course, it would
also help other businesses where
,air travel is a necessity.”
Captain Shearwood ‘ was only
one of many who had comments
on the proposal being made by
Piedmont to establish the route
to Raleigh-Durham.
Voit Gilmore, one of the most
travelled men in the area, says
he hears many complaints from
people who must drive either to
Charlotte or Raleigh-Durham to
begin their trips.
“You can, of course, take a
Piedmont plane out of here for
Charlotte.” he said, “but that
doesn’t always give you good
connections. Getting back to the
local airport from a trip else
where in the country also pre
sents problems of waiting in
Charlotte, sometimes as niuch as
twelve hours. It becomes easier,
when that happens, just to have
someone drive up to meet you,
either in Charlotte or Raleigh.”
R. M. Cushman, executive vice
president of Amerotron Corpora
tion, said recently that his com
pany was now operating a car
“shuttle” from the Sandhills to
Charlotte to make connections
with flights there because the
connections here weren’t satis
factory.
Cecil Beith, plant m.anager for
Karagheusian, Inc.i which oper
ates a carpet factory in Aberdeen,
said that there is a fairly steady
flow of traffic of Karagheusian
officials between New York and
the factory, much of it by air.
We are almost always forced
to drive ,to either Charlotte or
Raleigh-Durham to pick them
up,” he said, “and a direct con
nection would be most heartily
approved by us.”
"There are many others who
feel the same way.
Captain Shearwood summed
up the bad feelings many people
have about air travel to the Sand
hills this way:
“The first cla^s air fare from
Raleigh to New York is $31 plus
the 10 per cent tax. But getting
from here to Raleigh will cost
you $25 if you’re traveling by
yourself, less if there’s someone
else to share the cost. That hard
ly s&ems to some people to be
good business and I can’t say I
blame them for holding that
opinion.”
He said he heard many com
plaints during the course of the.
year by people who have pur
chased their tickets elsewhere
and then must make arrange
ments to get back to their homes.
“They just don’t like the idea
of not being able to get on a
plane here and go direct without
long layovers,” he added.
As an indication of what the
Sandhills means to' the airline
business, officials ^ at Raleigh-
Durham Airport have had install
ed directional signs pointing to
wards the airport via a “back
road.” It’s known that the signs
are for Sandhills people.
And it isn’t difficult at all to
look at parked cars at the air
port—either in Charlotte or
Raleigh-Durham—and find doz
ens of cars from the Sandhills. ■
These cars are, as one traveller
put it, “going out. Just as im
portant, and perhaps more so,
are the ones parked in some oth
er airport where owners have
left them to fly to the Sandhills.”
Several dozen Boy Scouts re
ceived advancements and special
recognition at a Court of Honor
held in the Pinebluff Methodist
Church Monday night.
The meeting was the largest of
its kind this year.

SWIFT CHOICE
Wildlife Club Hears Lunette Barber
Talk On State’s Wildlife Program
CHUCK ROAST
SWIFT CHOICE STANDING

LB.
LB.
A charming former school
teacher with melting eyes, soft
' East Carolina drawl and pungent
method of expressing her views
stimulated and entertained the
Moore Wildlife Club at their May
meeting, Tuesday night of last
week.
Miss Lunette Barber, educa
tional representative with the
State Wildlife Resources Com
mission, also worked in a full
education on the earth, and the
things which grow and live on it,
or are mined and dug from it,
while with disarming smile she
needled the members to act pos-
tively toward conserving these
precious things.
“Natural resources made this
country. They started the 13 col
onies, and for thern the Revolu
tion was fought and won. Why
should people come to settle this
land if it hadn’t been the richest
on earth? It isn’t any more. Why?
We are using up our good things.
Soil, water, forest and wildlife
are not renewable. They exist in
a vast interrelationship one with
another. They go together like
scramble goes with egg.
“These things are given us to
use wisely. The price of improvi
dence is very high. All of us, mil
lions and millions of people, use
the natural resources, every day
•they provide our living, our
economies, our wealth, our sport,
entertainment and beauty. What
are we doing to preserve and re
place them? Once they are gone,
we are poor indeed.”
Her main job is the preaching
of wildlife conservation in the
public schools, and she urged
that all help train the young:
“Education is the only way to
get anything done and the only
thing you can invest in perma
nently is youth,”
The supper meeting was held
at the Carthage Legion Hut, with
Club President Albert Tufts of
Pinehurst, presiding. Admiral
Felix Baker, chairman of the
lodge site committee, reported
no success in locating a suitable
site and asked suggestions from
the members.
