Aberdeen Man’s
Father Killed
In Road Crash
Robeson County man who
had been visiting his son at Aber
deen received fatal injuries Sat
urday evening in an auto colli
sion on US Highway 1 near
Southern Pin.5s.
Troy Malcolm Kinlaw, 53, of
Lumberton, Route 1, father of
Troy Kinlaw, Jr., of Aberdeen,
died Sunday afternoon at St. Jo
seph’s Hospital of a crushed chest
and other injuries.
Trooper E. G. Shomaker said
Kinlaw turned from the north
bound into the southbound lane,
heading toward Westbrook’s
store, directly into the path of a
car driven by Malcolm Lewis Mc
Neill, 31, of Southern Pines. Kin
law, who was alone in his car,
was thrown to the highway as it
was spun around.
McNeill had his wife and four
children in his car. He and his
wife, Doris, 28, and their daugh
ter Carol, aged three, remained
overnight at Moore Memorial
Hospital, receiving treatment for
minor injuries. The other three
children, boys, aged six to 10,
were not hurt.
McNeill, a Southern Pines town
employee, told the trooper that
Kinlaw appeared to stop to let
him go by, then started up again
and drove into his path too late
lor him to avoid the crash. There
was no evidence of negligence on
McNeill’s part and no charges
were preferred against him, Sho
maker said.
Kinlaw’s car was demolished,
and McNeill’s had to be towed
away.
Swaim Discharged From State Patrol,
Denies He Is Guilty of Any Offense
J. Frank Swaim, longtime
State trooper in Moore County,
who was suspended by the State
Highway Patrol in October, has’
been discharged, despite strong
support by many citizens who
requested his reinstatement.
In a letter received this week
from Major C. R. Williams of
State Patrol headquarters at Ra
leigh, Swaim was notified of “the
decision of this headquarters that
the action of Capt. A. W. Welch
be upheld.” Welch, Troop D com
manding officer, initiated the sus
pension.
The letter failed to specify any
reason for dismissal other than the
statement, “We do not feel he had
any alternative in the light of the
facts and circumstances in your
case.” The only charges previous
ly made have been the general
ones of “Conduct unbecoming an
officer and failing to carry out
orders in a satisfactory manner.”
Swaim sought and was accord
ed a public hearing at troop head
quarters at Greensboro Novem
ber 14, in which he denied a re
port of an alleged bribe, which
the Patrol had investigated but
did not cite as a reason for the
firing. Moore County court offi
cials police officers and other lead
ing citizens representing various
communities testified to his good
character and integrity. The Pa
trol put on no evidence and took
no action at that time.
. Swaim, 40 years old and the
father of four children, whose
wife teaches music in the Aber-
Watson Lands on
Market; Include
Lake, Residence
Property owned by the late
John Warren Watson, between
Southern Pines and Pinehurst, is
being offered for sale, with the
•main 796-acre “Sunny Sands”
tract priced at $425,000.
L. L. Biddle II of Biddle & Co.,
at Pinehurst, sole agents, said the
property also includes tracts of
67, two of 14 and one of four acres
across Morganton Road or High
way 15-501 from the main Sun
ny Sands tract.
Included in the main tract are
Watson’s Lake and the residence
and boathouse nearby. The lake
is two miles in circumference with
its shores mostly high and well
drained, except where the streams
that form it enter and leave the
lake.
Before Mr. Watson’s death sev
eral months ago, Mr. Biddle said,
efforts had been made to find a
buyer or buyers for the property
who would develop it as a private
club, and that it is hoped this
type of disposition can be made
of it now. He said offers from
lumber companies are being re
jected and that the property will
not be sold for the timber. Virgin
pine trees on some of the proper
ty measure up to four feet in di
ameter, he noted.
Mr. Biddle said that there
would be no objection to sale of
the property to a developer if it
were subdivided into tracts of at
least five acres each, possibly with
construction of golf course and
development of a private club..
There are no definite plans for
a sale at this time, he said, al
though “groups have been dis
cussing” purchase.

in Moore since 1946, except for
two years of employment in pri
vate industry. For the past six
years he has been stationed at
Aberdeen, while living at Pine-
bluff At his home in Pinebluff
Wednesday night, Swaim express
ed gratitude to those who went
to bat for him during his period
of suspension from the State
Highway Patrol.
Said the former trooper, “Their
confidence in me has meant every
thing, I want them all to know
that my conscience is clear. I have
not done any wrong or anything
that I believed was not in keep
ing with my duty as a patrolman ,”
Swaim said he has no immedi
ate plans “but I will have to get
busy about something soon. I had
hoped to stay with the Patrol as
that has been my lifetime service.
Now I have been off the payroll
for two months and for a man
with a family, that is pretty
tough. It looks like a lean Christ
mas around here.” i
He said he hopes very much to
be able to stay in Moore County
as “after all these years, this is
home and this is where my friends
are.” He has through the years
had a sideline of buying and sell
ing hunting dogs but ‘‘this has
just been a hobby and a service to
friends who like to hunt.’
Patrol Sgt. J. S. Jones of Siler
City said this week that an addi
tional trooper will.be assigned to
Moore County to replace Swaim.
Man Sought by Officers After 12-Mile
Chase Around Area on Saturday Night
An Aberdeen Negro led the lo
cal police car on a 12-mile chase
Saturday night, jumped from his
car, tussled with one state troop
er and then another and finally
got away.
In his ditched car he left a
young Jackson Hamlet girl. Offi
cers are still hunting the man,
whose name Chief Earl Seawell
declined to give at this stage, no
ting, “I believe he will give hini-
self up. It will be the best thing
for "him to do.”
Taking unwitting part in the
chase was another Negro man,
name also withheld, who had just
been placed under arrest and
was in the police car when the
chase began. He had an unexpect
ed hair-raising ride.
Sgt. L. D. Beck had just arrest
ed the man for a traffic violation
in West Southern Pines, and was
starting to take him to the station.
in the other car, when he observ
ed a car down the street backing
off and whirling around suspi
ciously. He started that way and
saw the car pick up speed. He fol
lowed.
The pursuit led him to Morgan
ton Road, where Trooper R. R.
Samuels, answering his radio
SOS, attempted a running road
block. The man dodged around
him, jumped a ditch and on reach
ing Broad St. braked down sharp
ly, causing a slight collision with
Samuel’s car. His own car in the
ditch, the man jumped out, aban
doning the girl, and ran, with
Samuels behind him. The trooper
caught him, he struggled loose,
and ran on, into the arms of an
other Trooper, E. G. Shomaker,
who had also answered the radio
summons. RoUing down a bank
to elude Shomaker’s grasp, the
man disappeared into the dark-

Staff Appointments
John M .Currie of Carthage,
chairman of the Professional Re
lations Committee, announced the
staff appointments for next year.
Dr. Charles A. S. Phillips of
Southern Pines will again serve as
chief of staff. Dr. Duwayne D
Gadd of Pinehurst is vice-chair
man and Dr. William W. Allen of
Knollwood is secretary-treasurer.
On the Executive Committee are
Dr. Robert M. McMiUan, who
served in this capacity last year.
Dr. William F. Hollister and Dr.
Harold A. Peck.
Accredited)
Dr. Phillips reported that dur
ing last year the hospital was in
spected by a representative of the
Joint Commission on Accredita
tion of Hospitals and received full
accreditation. He noted that pro
,fessional relations with the hos
pital were on a very high level.
Growth
Duncan McGoogan, administra
tor, said, “The year 1960-61 was
a year of continued growth in
service for Moore Memorial Hos
pital. More people than ever be
fore used the services of the hos
pital, and this demand is reflect
ed in the yearly activities of every
department,"
He reported the year just ended
saw 165 more inpatients treated
and discharged, 38 more babies
born, 438 more operations, over
11,000 additional laboratory pro
cedures performed, and 872 more
patients x-rayed. In spite of this
additional patient load there were
20 fewer deaths during the year.
“This,” Mr. McGoogan said, “is
indeed a tribute to the profes
sional care which the patients re
ceived.” Patients treated in the
emergency room totaled over 6,
000, increasing 30 per cent over
the previous year.
Mr. Poole presided at the meet
ing, which followed dinner in the
hospital dining room.

in time for the ground-breaking
ceremony March 4.
J. L. McDougall of Southern
Pines administrator,* reported
that any interested person is in
vited to contribute the cost of one
room and bath as a memorial. He
said already - one such memorial
of $10,000 had been contributed
by a North Carolina Episcopalian
to* build one apartment as a mem
orial to members of his family.
The Episcopal home is a project
that was suggested six years ago
by the late Bishop Edwin A. Pen-
ick, who, “practically drafted”
H. 'T. Cosby of Charlotte and told
him to get an episcopal home
built With the ways and means
left to Mr. Cosby, according to the
report from Charlotte. The action
of the committee at its Charlotte
meeting authorizing the begin
ning of the construction is the
fruit of six years of work toward
a goal that many times seemed
impossible of attainment, said the
report.
The home is supposed to be ready
for the first occupants one year
after the beginning of the building-
work. The construction will be of
one story contemporary design
with 40 private rooms and baths.
These will be built around a large
lounge, which will form the cen
ter of the building, with solaria
to provide pleasant retreats for
relaxing and reading. A 12-room
infirmary will be included for res
idents who may need minor medi
cal and nursing attention.
Reservations for memorial
rooms are now being received by
J. Melville Broughton, First Cit
izens Bank Building, Raleigh. Ap

received fey Mr. and Mrs. Mac-
Dougall, who have an office at

weight lifting. Weighing only 150
pounds, he took part in weight
lifting tournaments throughout
the state, in the lightweight divi

be erached for comment today.
Exhibits Placed

Vacant Building
All nine show windows of the
vacant former Patch Department
Store building have been filled
with holiday exhibits by mer
chants, professional persons or
other businesses of this area.
The new owners of the build

ton, Mass., and Dr. P. J. Chester
and Garland McPherson, both of
Southern Pines,
The exhibitors in the windows

ing sought by the new owners.
QUOTAS APPROVED
Moore County farmers, like
those throughout the state, gave
a heavy majority in favor of
marketing quotas on tobacco, and
cotton in a referendum held Tues
day. The vote means that price
supports and marketing quotas
will continue in North Carolina
through 1964. Also approved for
the next three years were assess-
znents against tobacco and peanut
growers for promotion of these
agricultural products.
The raw materials for a grow
ing tree are the soil’s water and
minerals, the air’s carbon dioxide
and oxygen. Its power flows
down from the sun, which
changes carbon dioxide and water
into sugars and oxygen through
photosynthesis. Its products are
wood and bark fiber, its byprod
ucts starch, fats, resins, tannins
and other sugars.
Churches Should
Make Influence
Felt, Gavin Says
Robert L. Gavin of Sanford, Re
publican candidate for governor
of North Carolina in 1960, was
guest speaker last night at the
regular monthly supper meeting
of the Men of Emmanuel Epis
copal Church, voicing his con
viction that there must be a re
turn to the principles of Christi
anity in the home, conamunity
life, business and government. He
was introduced by Garland Mc
Pherson. John F. Pottle, presi
dent of the men’s group, presided.
Saying that many Americans
have forgotten to apply the Gold
en Rule in everyday life and in
business, Mr, Gayin, who prac
tices law in Snaford and is an
active Baptist layman, said that
he thinks the church is not exer
cising its full influence in govern
ment.
Recognizing the Constitutional
separation of church and state, the
speaker said that voters should
help the church influence gov
ernment by demanding active
church members as candidates for
public office. Representatives of
churches should attend and make
their influence felt at meetings of
county and municipal officials,
he said.
In taking the lead in the fight
against communism, churches can
render a great service to govern
ment, Mr. Gavin asserted. Many
churches have done little to com
bat communism, he said, though
churches haye most at stake in the
fight. All churches, he said, should
combine in a great crusade against
communism.
“I hope to see the church be
come a strong iiifluence in gov
ernment,” he said. “Only the
church can bring a change in our
concept of values.”

On recommendation of Police
