THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1961
TOURISTS
If the sky suddenly becomes
overcast, don't worry about a
storm; it's much more likely
to be a flock of robins or
starlings passing over. Bird
watchers and others who are
not so bird-conscious have
been attracted lately by flocks
of thousands of birds. And
some are doing as many hu
man tourists have. . . they're
stopping to stay a while.
Rotary Endorses
Concert Series of
Music Group
In line with their long-estah-
lished policy of support for cul- i
tural enterprises, ths Rotary
Club of Southern Pines this week
announced their endorsement of
the concert series program of the
Sandhills Music Association.
A copy of the resolution, dated
Nov. 11 and passed unanimously,
was sent to the association’s pres
ident, Leonard Muddimer. It
reads as follows:
RESOLUTION
In consideration pf the out
standing contribution being made
by the Sandhills Music Associa
tion and realizing the need for
good, wholesome entertainment in
this area and further realizing the
importance of music in a time of
international tension, we, the
members of the Southern Pines
Rotary Club, do hereby heartily
endorse the program of this As
sociation and commend it as a
worthy recipient of our active
support.
(Signed) Robert M. Leland,
president
Marvin R. Cornell,
secretary.
Passage of the resolution, it
was reported, followed an ad
dress made to the club members
by Dr. Benjamin F. Swalin, di
rector of the North Carolina
Symphony Orchestra. Tracing the
contributions of each successive
age in history, Dr. Swalin show
ed graphically how music had
been constantly present, since
early biblical times “when the
Lord was praised with music,”
bringing inspiration, consolation,
■ stirring men to action, lifting
them to heights of glory. Dr.
Swalin spoke of music as a basic
need today, as always.

Casket Company
Moving Plant to
Sanford LfOcation
Moore county is losing a busi
ness which, while not one of its
biggest, is one of its most respect
ed, successfully operating at
Glendon for 28 years.
This is the Moore Casket Co.,
which will be relocated in San
ford about the first of the year,
according to a recent announce
ment by R. D. Jones, president
since 1954.
The company at present em
ploys only four workers, making
wooden coffins which are sold
over a wide area. Jones said he
plans to expand the operation,
hiring more workers and branch
ing out into metal caskets.
He said the present location is
not suited to expansion, and that
Sanford is a better site for the
type of operation he plans. He
has already taken a building
there.
He said he does not know how
many of his present employees
will make the move, except that
one who definitely will go to San
ford is Elvin Allred, who has
been with the company for 26 of
its 28 years.
CAROUSEL
(Continued from page 1)
flight. Wanren Bell, owner of
Pine Needles and partner Bob
Davies, Gettysburg, Pa., defeated
Rex Burnham and W. G. Edwards
of Raleigh in ths playoff.
One of the biggest surprises
was the failure of Peter Green,
University of North Carolina stu
dent, and Ed Justa, Rocky Mount,
to make the championship flight.
Each scored 70 on his own ball
but had 69 better ball and they
went to the first flight. Green
scored 66 in their first round
match to tie the Pine Needles rec
ord and they went on to win the
first flight. Harvey also played
well scoring 65 at Southern Pines
C C in the first round.
Harry Chatfield of Southern
Pines, who teamed last year with
Mrs..Menoher to win the mixed
division championship, played
this year with Will Wiggs of
Southern Pines in the men’s divi
sion; They won the first flight
consolation finals.
Mrs. Menoher and Avery made
a clean sweep in the mixed-divi
sion winning the qualifying
medal with 73 then taking the
championship in stride.
Eddie Ervin, Jr., general chair
man of the Carousel, said, “At the
moment I can’t think of anything
that would have made the tour
nament more successful. Some
experts in the field calculated for
us, based on entries, the contes
tants spent approximately $75,-
000 in Southern Pines during the
five day period of the Carousel.
The fact that many motel and
hotel operators have informed me
they have reservations for the
Carousel in 1962 and 1963 speaks
for itself.
There were so many people at
the dance George Hodgkins’ com
mittee was forced to find more
tables and extra chairs. We also
had more contestants at the prize
presentation ceremony than ever,
many to congratulate their new
found friends. The burden of Car
ousel chairman was lifted con
siderably by the concerted effort
of the mapority of the Jaycee
membership and this phase par
ticularly was gratifying,” Ervin
said.
Jerry Daeke, assistant chair
man this year, will move up to
assume chairmanship of the tour
nament next year.
In its eighth consecutive year,
the Carousel gave participants
four days of golf over the South-

The Southern Pines Blue
Knights and girls have resumed
basketball practice and are ex
pecting another successful year.
The boys’ team had a 20-4 rec
ord last year, and were Confer
ence champions, county runners-
up and district runners-up. The
team had heavy losses with the
graduation of Glen Marcum,
Charlie Rose, and Topper Parks.
The Knights, have five return
ing lettermen—Harold Williford,
Dick Seymour, Eddie McKenzie,
Wally Wallace and Johnny Bris
tow. These five will be the start
ing players.
The guard positions will be
held by senior Wally Wallace
who is five feet, eight inches and
junior Johnny Bristow who is al
so five-feet-eight. The forwards
will be seniors Dick Seymour,
who is six-feet-two, and Eddie
McKenzie who is six feet. Senior
Harold Williford who is six-feet-
four will start at center for the
Knights. Williford, an All-County
selection last year, is one of the
finest defensive players in the
county.
This year’s team should be
faster but will lack depth in the
reserve positions.
The girls’ basketball team will
have only three returning letter-
men, seniors Joan Grover and
Peggy Worth, and junior Clara
Harper. Sophomore Nancy Rrowe
and freshmen Carolyn Niles, Janie
Gehweiler, Susan Huntley and
Delinda Michael will seek start
ing positions on the girls’ team.
This year’s team will lack experi
ence and depend on several soph
omores and freshmen to fill in
key positions.
The Blue Knights and girls will
open the season against Carthage.
Patronage of Air
Service Runs Low
In Opening Week
At the Southern Pines - Pine
hurst airport. Piedmont Aviation’s
turbo-prop F-27’s are stopping
once a day to take on passengers
for Raleigh-Durham—but it was
learned that only six prsons had
availed themselves of this long-
sought service during its first
week (through 'Tuesday).
This was a long way from the
average of five passengers per
day which must be maintained if
service is to be continued.
At Piedmont’s office at the air
port, it was learned that nobody
flew Wednesday, Thursday or
Friday. One flew Saturday; two,
Sunday, and three Monday. No
body Tuesday.
There were a half-dozen arriv
als during the week from Raleigh-
Durham.
Announcement was made some
months ago that the FAA had ap
proved the north-south flights on
a “justification” basis—that is,
business must justify the service
if it is to continue. An average
of five passengers per day was
set as the minimum “justifica
tion.”
The service was obtained on this
tentative basis by local groups
working diligently over a period
of years. Patronage is expected
to build up and, if it does so to
a profitable level, will go on a
year-round basis.
The flights depart for Raleigh-
Durham (and Norfolk) at 10:29
a.m. daily, with return flights at
7:57 p.m. The trip takes 22
minutes and the fare is $6.30
(plus 63c tax) one way.

of the district Patrol office at
Siler City, lists two persons kilL
ed and 25 injured in a total of 35
traffic accidents, 12 of which in
volved personal injury.
Over the Thanksgiving holi

Fatality Prediction
The N. C. State Motor Club
predicts 19 persons will die in'
traffic accidents on North Caro
lina .streets and highways during
the holiday weekend, which will
extend to four days for many
workers.
The state is counting its
Thanksgiving highway fatalities
from 6 p. m. Wednesday through
midnight Sunday, a period of 102
houj-s. The same period last year
claimed 17 lives, while 414 others
were injured in a total of 830 ac
cidents. Thanksgiving Day ac
counted for six of the fatalities.
Of the 924 driver violations re
ported, the leading causes of ac
cidents were: speeding, 173; did
not have right of way, 133; on
wrong side of road other than in
passing, 102; following too close
ly, 85; and reckless driving, 78.
Thomas B. Watkins, president
of the motor club and the Nation
al Automobile Association, cau
tioned all motorists taking to the
highways during the holiday to
be especially alert and courteous
while behind the wheel.

was a native of Carthage, daugh
ter of the late W. C. Petty. Mr.
Jerman visited in Carthage in' his
youth and was well known there.

SCOUT OFFICIAL— Wal
lace E. Wood will become
executive of the Occoneechee
Boy Scout Council January 1,
succeeding John L. Shutt. He
is now executive of Region 6,
with headquarters at Atlanta,
Ga. Occoneechee Council,
with headquarters at Raleigh,
includes Moore and 11 other
counties in Central North
Carolina. A native of Lindale,
Ga., Mr. Wood has been in
professional Scouting since
1947. W. H. Trentman of
Raleigh, Council president,
announced the appointment.
OPENING HUNT
(Continued from page 1)
Southern Pines and the hunting
country by Mr. and Mrs. Moss
and the four discussed the coming
event, viewing the course to be
followed in the drag for likely
photographic effects. Tom Priest
ly, TV director and top photog
rapher, arrived here Tuesday for
preliminary work.
Starting in the big dogwood
pasture back of Mrs. Kennedy’s
new home, the line will run
through the Franfz place, Tremont
Farms. It will, at one point, cross
the hunter trial course and prob
ably check in the long field
known as Laing’s Field at the end
of Youngs Road. From there it
is planned to lay a fairly straight
line for the finish on the “Water-
hole” tract, on the north side of,
the road.
In discussing the course with
The Pilot, Mrs. Moss commented
that because of the large field
expected to be out and the added
problem of allowing for NBC to
get around with their equipment,
it would be important that cars
following the hunt should be es
pecially watchful to keep well
back. It is expected that Council
man Morris Johnson will lend a
hand at this task, probably ac
companied by a member of the
local police force to help with
traffic problems. And if any
snafu shoiild occur—for instance:
the weather—NBC is all set to
stay over and try again.
FIRST DEED
The first deed of Indian land
to an English colonist is believed
to have been made by Samoset, a
chief of the Pemaquids. He trans
ferred 12,000 acres of his tribe’s
land to the Plymouth colonist
John Brown in 1625.
FOR CHRISTMAS or
RANGERS ONLY
From 300,000 to 400,000 people
visit Mount Mitchell during the
months when the park is open. In
winter is only insabitants, oth
er than the birds and animals na
tive to the region, are Park rang
ers. Their nearest neighbors are
operators on duty at WMIT radio
tower, huilt on nearby 6,520
Clingman’s Peak for the first FM
station in the South.
