BAND DRIVE
(Continued from Page 1)
dent of the Student Council:
By DICKEY HOSKINS
The Southern Pines High
School Band has been fortunate
enough to receive brand-new
uniforms for the present season.
The uniforms are different
from the old ones in a few fea
tures. Instead of the regular offi
cer-style hat, the familiar “West
Point shako” with the plume on
top is being used. Also a leather
belt with big silver-colored buck
les is being used for extra dec
oration on the light blue jackets.
The pants are the same familiar
blue with a large white stripe
running down the side.
The new uniforms have al
ready done much for our high
school band. The rise in morale
and general interest is amazing.
During the last football game,
people turned their heads to see
the band march out with the
majorettes in the lead. The plumes
and white shoes all seemed to
move down the field exactly to
gether.
Many people wonder what is
going on within the walls of the
band room. The band is getting
ready for their first concert of the
season which will be given at the
Parent-Teacher Association meet
ing in December. The Glee Club
will also perform. The program
for the band will be on a Christ
mas theme, however, other selec
tions will be played for general
enjoyment.
Mr. McAdams and the band
members hope that, in the fu
ture the community will support
the band and continue to do so.
We cannot amply express how
important it is for the town to be
interested in the music program
in the school.
Many times people get the
feeling that children and young
people are not interested in mu
sic. It is true that teenagers often
listen to music which is offensive
to many people’s musical taste
But the trend is not towards pop
ular music in the world of the
young person; he is becoming
more interested in the music of
the past, as well as that of the
future.
The young person of today is
playing more instruments. He is
beginning to listen carefully to
all kinds of music and he is de
veloping an acute musical taste.
Contrary to the opinions of many,
most young people appreciate
classical music.
Young musicians are playing
Bach, as well as Rogers and Ham
merstein; they are playing all
kinds of instruments from zithers
to bassoons. This ability should
be cultivated to a degree that
will bring enjoyment to them and
those who are associated with
them. It does not matter how old
you are, or how young; you can
become a concert hall musician
the main things that can be de
rived from music are enjoyment,
expression and communication.
Those in the band are seeking
this sense of expression through
playing with a musical organiza
tions. We should support musical
programs in our community
churches and schools.
A new public address system
was in use in the courtroom at
Carthage Monday, during the re
gular session of Moore County
Recorder’s Court.
As now installed, the system in
cludes a microphone in the witness
box and five speakers around the
walls of the courtroom. Officials
said that another microphone will
probably be installed on the
judge’s bench and other speakers
will also be used if necessary.
Mrs. Estelle Wicker, county ac
countant, said that a number of
estimates on the equipment were
received, running between $450
and $500. The system in the court
room was installed by Edwards
Radio and TV Service of Robbins.
The job was given to that com
pany, Mrs. Wicker said, because
it was the only firm that had
the equipment on hand and
ready to install.

Dr. Weaver, coordinator of N.
C. agricultural programs, called
area development “a tool by
which people can control their
destiny” by working at home to
improve communities and bring
in business and industry that
will provide employment for
their children as the children
grow up.
He said that the four-county
SADA area lost over 15,000 pop
ulation, over the number moving
in, during the 1950’s and that
this loss will continue if the area
does not provide adequate em
ployment for its young people.
Leadership and spiritual devel
opment vital to maintaining the
nation’s abundance and freedom
are encouraged by area develop
ment programs, he said.
A well-earned thank you

*
Savings Bond volunteens
by Douglas Dillon, Secretary o\ the U.S. Treasury
Ji THE Twentieth Anniversary Year
of the
United States Savings Bond Program draws to
a close I want to thank, on behalf of the Treasury
and the United States Government, all those volim-
teers who have given their time and effort to increase
the sale of bonds.
They and other Americans who have bought and
who are, in increasing numbers, continuing to buy
bonds, can take pride in a very real contribution to
the strength of our nation.
To all those then, who have, over the last 20
years, invested their time and their money in the wel
fare of their country, I say thank you and well done.
Our task, however, is not over. It is, in a sense,
just beginning. As we enter upon the future, such
patriotic efforts become increasingly more important.
I do not have to remind you of the peril to freedom
in the world today. By purchasing bonds, and by en
couraging others to do so, through state, county, and
local volimteer Savings Bond efforts, Americans con
tribute significantly to our defense against that peril.
Who are the Savings Bond volunteers?
These dedicated men and women are the
workers who keep the Savings Bond Pro
gram ticking. Each state has a chairman.
All 3,000 American Counties have chair
men. Many have served the fuU 20 years.
Next time you meet a Bond volunteer, say, "Thanks
for helping to keep America strong and free.’’
