November 11 is Date for PTA Ham And Bean Supper The popular Ham and Bean supper, sponsored annually bv the Pinehurst Parent-Teacher as sociation, will be held this year on Veterans Day, November 11, from 5:30-7:30 at the Pinehurst School cafeteria. Mrs. John L. McKenzie is gen eral chairman of arrangements with Mrs. Rassie Wicker serving as co-chairman. Tickets for the supper may be purchased at the door on the night, and are also available now, at Hobbs Store and the Carolina Pharmacy. The supper is the PTA’s sole money-raising project each year, stressed Mrs. McKenzie, who also pointed out that proceeds there from, in addition to paying for free lunches for underprivileged children each year, are also used to buy needed equipment for the Pinehurst School. During the past few years, PTA funds raised through the suppers have bought a reading machine and reading equipment, a televi sion set, dictionary and encyclo pedia, a jungle gym, and have helped pay for planting around the school and gymnasium. PTA projects for this year, said Mrs. McKenzie, Include purchase of a merry-go-round for younger children, as well as free lunches and planting on the grounds. TEEING OFF * WITH deNISSOFF The Pinehurst Page gets off the launching pad in today’s issue, with a I nod from the Pilot’s ed itor, and a mighty assist from its staff. The new feature, inaugurated at the suggestion of newspaper colleagues and Pinehurst citizens, is one we hope to make perma nent, and we hereby invite criti cisms, both- favorable and ad verse. The "Ninety-Nines" A chat with “Flying Reporter” Page Shamburger elicited some interesting information about the 99’s, elite organization of women flyers established by Amelia Ear- hardt in 1927. Limited at its inception to 99 members, the association now girdles the globe. International President ' Mrs. Herman (Louise) Smith flew in for Sunday’s Airport dedication and pre-dedication luncheon at the Carolina Hotel. Also here for tie ceremonies was Miss Sara Shonk, a 99’er from Charleston, 3. C. just back from a U. S. State Department assignment in Eng land,! who leaves soon for Russia on State Department business. Sandhills Members The Sandhills section has two active members—Mrs. Carl (Es- tel’-j) Bradshaw of Pinehurst and Miss Shamburger of Aberdeen— and an inactive member—Mrs. Warren (Peggy Kirk) Bell of I Southern Pines. The handsome, Jackie Cochran- type Estelle spends weekends and vacations from the Pinehurst General Office flying with her pilot husband, co-owner and manager of the Clark & Brad shaw Service Station in South ern Pines. (It must be reassuring to have an .expert mechanic along on cross country flights.) An ardent promoter and en- joyer of thing equestrian, the atom-powered wisp. Page seems to find this hobby entirely com patible with her love of the mor-e modern form of transportation. Eastern editor of “Cross Country News,” published at Fort Worth, Page is also on the verge of pub lishing two books—an adventure story for adults, and simulta neously, a book on aviation for boys, 12-up. One of the top worr.en profes sional golfers in the U. S., Peggy Kirk Bell is a 99’.3r on inactive status. Her varied duties as co- owner and manager, with hus band Warren, of the Pine Needles Lodges & Country Club, as a teaching and touring pro, and as the mother of two girls, aged three and seven, would appear to leave her no time for getting off into the wild blue yonder. Peggy has also authored a series of three articles which appeared this sum mer in Golf Magazine. To Meet Here At a morning meeting and cof fee hour at the Shamburger home in Aberdeen Sunday, Ninety-nine members made plans to hold their annual convention here in March, 1962.

They de stroy more than one billion dollars worth of property. We cem help lower this number of hazards and damage by helping to prevent fires.

A. Ruggles I years captain of the Silver Foils cause a fire in our closets and yard. Then we burn them. First we make certain that it is a calm evening. Always we rake the leaves away from the edge of the bonfire so that it will not spread. I have moved our waste bas kets away from the stove. I al ways take Mother’s oily house hold cleaning rag and mops out of the closets. When I get through ironing my clothes, I always un plug the iron. My family also helps in fire pre vention duties. My father or an inspector checks the stove pipes and heater. We keep plenty of ash trays in each room. We keep a screen around our fireplace. Be fore we started to builld our house, we made sure that the shingles were not wood because a spark from the chimney might set them on fire. You can also help in fire prevention by doing what my family and I have done. So try it! Don’t be careless and drop ashes and cigarettes or leave your camp fires unattended. Be helpful and careful. Thousands of people are killed every year. Don’t be one of them! Don’t gamble with fire. The odds are against you! Work hard to prevent fires. You will help yourselves and others.
