; SOUVENIRS OF STORM — Though Pilot
readers have no doubt seen enough snow in the
. Sandhills to last them for many years, here are
: some souvenir scenes from last week’s snowfall
‘of seven and a half inches—the second of about
(that depth in a week. Becky Lucas, 11-year-old
i daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. LucM, 155
E. Massachusetts Ave., poses in her yard with
a whole family of snow people—^Papa at left,
'Mama at right and Junior below—she made and
•outfitted from her own wardrobe. At left is a
^all of snow blocks, along which the family is
istrolling for a winter promenade. Biggest icicle
fin the area (below) was formed on the water
tank of the Pinecrest Manor Apartments on
Saunders Boulevard, extending from the tank
to the ground, in some places. It was stiU snow
ing hard Wednesday of last week when the
overturned truck and trailer was photographed
near Skyline on No. 1 highway, north. Standing
in front of the wheels is driver Paul LaRussa of
Birmingham, Ala., who stayed in his cab as the
big vehicle skidded and overturned, ending up
unhurt, high over the trailer. The Malone
Freight Lines trailer was loaded with textiles.

MR. MAURICE
(Continued from page 1)
built “Ballintoy,” Mr. and Mrs.
Maurice and their family lived in
a Small house he constructed on
the farm. The new, larger house
reflected Mr. Maurice’s engineer
ing training. Its roof, walls, floor
and ceiling were built of rein
forced, poured concrete, rendering
it 'so fireproof that, though locat
ed in the woods, its owner never
had fire insurance. Extensive gar
dens were developed nearby by
Mrs. Maurice who, before her
death, had planned the old-fash
ioned garden at the Shaw House
here, which was later planted ac
man of the Ration Board at Car
thage, a difficult responsibility
he discharged with notable fair
ness and vigor.
Mr. Maurice was appointed a
member of the original building
committee for Moore County (now
Moore Memorial) Hospital in May,
1928, and was one of the original
15 directors of the hospital which
was opened in November, 1929,
serving on the board continuous
ly—including three years as vice-
president and four years as presi
dent—until 1956 when he asked
to be relieved as director. At that
time the board elected him honor
ary president and he held that
title, continuing to take an inter-
cordmg to her plans and named in hospital” affairs, until his
death. He was appointed to the
Executive Committee of the board
in 1930 and was its chairman from
the Ethel Maurice Memorial Gar
den.
Mr. Maurice concentrated on
cotton in his early farming opera
tions, was a leader in the develop
ment of peach growing in the
1920’s and later conducted a gen
eral farm operation, aided by a
resident manager. He worked
closely with government agricul
tural agencies in planting crops
for soil improvement and in in
stituting soil and water conserva
tion measures.
About 125 of the 600-odd acres
are now cleared and, in recent
years, some of the acreage was
being put back into pines.
During World War I, Mr. Mau
rice commanded the Moore Coun
ty company of the North Caro
lina Reserve Militia and once said
that the most prized memento
among the guns, books, hunting
trophies and other possessions in
the room in his home that he call
ed’his "office,” was a cup won by
the drill team of that militia com
pany.
^oon after World War I, Mr.
Maurice’s first major public ser-
vide project was accomplished
when he mapped roads all over
the county and, working with the
township highway commissioners,
planned road construction and im
provements that gaye the county
its first good roads system.
During World War II, Mr. Mau
rice served the county as chair-
1934 to 1937.
Mr. Maurice was a director of
the Bank of Pinehurst (now the
Carolina Bank) for many years
and was a director of the Pine
hurst Religious Association which
owns and operates the Village
Chapel at Pinehurst. He was a j , ,,
member of Emmanuel Church, awarded the club s Builder s Cup,
Southern Pines.
From his youth, Mr. Maurice
had had a deep interest in history,
especially the American past. He
travelled extensively in the far
West, tracing the trails of pion
eers and frontiersmen. In discuss
ing this interest, he once recalled
standing in the “South Pass” of
the Wind River Mountains, in
Wyoming, and seeing, in his
imagination, the trappers, hunters
and settlers who had gone that
way.
His study of Daniel Boone over
many years—during which Mr.
Maurice traced Boone’s travels
from his birthplace in Pennsyl
vania to Missouri where he died
—culminated in the publication
in 1955 of an illustrated booklet,
'Daniel Boone in North Carolina.”
A revised edition was issued last
year.
The booklet—based on personal
interviews, studies of courthouse
records and other research—es
tablished for the first time the
locations of Boone’s four cabins
in North Carolina and produced
other new information about the
famous woodsman and guide.
Locally, Mr. Maurice’s interest
in the past was shown by his par
ticipation in the North Carolina
Society for the Preservation of
Antiquities, of which he served
as the Eighth Congressional Dis
trict vice-president from the So
ciety’s organization in 1939 until
his death.
He helped to form and was for
several years a director of the
Moore County Historical Associa
tion. In recent years, he took a
special interest in the restoration
of the Alston House in Deep River
Township—a major project of the
Association—and actively super
vised the work, as chairman.
In recognition of these activi
ties, the Cannon Cup was award
ed tim by the Society for the
Preservation of Antiquities in
1958.
Mr. Maurice was a charter mem
ber of the Sandhills Kiwanis Club
—a civic club with county-wide
membership—and in 1941 was
an award for community service
rendered without thought of per
sonal gain.

Name Suggested for No. 1 Alternate;
Advertising Committee Funds F Jigging
Meeting at the” Information
Center Monday, the town Adver
tising Advisory Committee heard
that the planning department of
the State Highway Commission
suggests that the Alternate No. 1
highway route through town be
called “Southern Pines Business
lA.”
The route was requested re
cently by the town council, to
provide a marked route in and
out of town for motorists wanting
to visit the business section or the
Information Center.
The Committee maintains the
Information Center, corner of
Pennsylvania Ave. and S. E.
Broad St., with a full time sec
retary, Mrs. Carl Ackers, in
charge.
Committee funds—which are
derived from a Town appropri
ation supplemented by private
donations from business firms
and professional people—are used
also to advertise Southern I^ines.
The current schedule places ad
vertisements in the Wall Street
Journal, The ’Virginia Chroniple
and Golf World. The committee
aiso helps advertise sports events
sucii as the Golf Carousel, the
Stoneybrook Race Meet and the

by the Information Center to
newspapers in their home towns,
creating interest in this commu
nity.
George Pottle, chairman of the
committee, said this week that
private contributions in the 1959
campaign for funds have been
very slow in coming in and that
many who contributed in 1958
have neglected to make a contri
bution in 1959-60. He pointed out
that private funds are essential
if the work of the committee is
to be carried on at its present
level.
Other members of the commit
tee are Jimmy Hobbs, Morris
Johnson, George H. Leonard, Jr.,
and Ward Hill.

(Continued from page 1)
assisted by some 40 women vol
unteers from Moore Coimty
towns in staging the event. A
lunch counter will be operated
for the exhibitors and visiting
public.
The Antiques Fair, draws at
tendance from the Southern Pines
and Pinehurst resort hotels as
well as from throughout the State
and adjoining states. Dealers not
exhibiting also attend such fairs
in large numbers, giving those in
the business a chance to view
each other’s items and buy items
to fill their own needs.
Many of the exhibitors listed
are repeaters from the first and
second years. The publicity given
golf and equestrian events and
other seasonal activities, draws
the kind of crowds they like; also
they themselves enjoy the resort
life. One dealer from New York
is coming early to get in some
golf, and others to plan to stay
over the weekend to attend the
Stoneybrook Hunt Race Meet of
next Saturday afternoon.
The Antiques Fair benefits pro
jects of the Moore County His
torical Society, of which the ma
jor one is the Alston House Res
toration in Deep River Township.
