ACCIDENTS
Defendants in two felony cases
appeared in Southern Pines Re
corder’s Court yesterday and
made bond for appearance at the
January term of Moore County
Superior Court in Carthage.
Probable cause was found by
Judge W. Harry Fullenwider in
^0^ring for Edward Stubbs of
583 S. Gaines St., on charges of
careless and reckless driving and
manslaughter. Stubbs was the
driver of an automobile that ran
off the old Southern Pines-Pine-
hurst road several months ago,
killing two persons. His appear
ance in court had been delayed by
long hospitalization for injuries
he had received. Bond was set at
$2,500. He pleaded not guilty at
yesterday’s hearing.
David H. Johnson, 33, of Route
3 Fayetteville, waived hearing on
a charge of obtaining money by
false pretense. He is accused of
recovering by false pretense $250
of a $500 insurance payment made
to a local woman. Bond for him
was set at $1,000.

Dr. A. A. Vanore
Of Robbins Named
To School Group
Dr. A. A. Vanore, Robbins phy
sician, has been appointed by
Qov. Terry Sanford to the.North
Carolina Citizens Committee for
Better Schools.
As a member of the State Corn-
mittee, Dri Vanore will partici

promote and support school im
provement. The Committee for
Better Schools will work with
state and local educational lead
ers to help build public under
standing and support of high
quality education.
One of the first responsiljilities
of the members of the Better
Schools Committee will be to
work with local school officials
to organize an education rally in
the county, to which the Gover
nor will be invited to speak. At
the rallies, emphasis will be plac
ed on citizen, parent, and student
responsibility for school improve
ment.
The education rally will be the
first of several projects designed
to promote interest in school im
provement on the local level.

Also, at a meeting held Decem
ber 13, the committee, of which
Mrs. William Wood, of Pinebluff,
is chairman, voted to allocate $1,
500 towards the fund for the
erection of the main building at
the camp for crippled children.
This is the camp that is to be
built north of the Pine Needles
golf course, on the old Preacher
Simpson farm. ’The lake there is
already under process of con
struction. Good News indeed!
A different kind of good news,
but highly satisfactory, is the
news that the new lighting fix
tures, to dress up to the town for
Christmas, look fine. Of course,
everybody hoped they would, but
even those who selected them
were probably on edge, wonder
ing what they’d really look like
when they got up there. Well,
they look gay and bright and
pretty. What more could you ask?
Shoo To Christmas!
The great flocks of robins, star
lings, blackbirds and all the rest
seem to have gone on. Or maybe
they’re just resting up in the
woods for a while. Is that “good
news?” Well, cautiously we an

from the store barrels.
The VFW is not repairing and
distributing toys this year. How
ever, persons wishing to give such
items as bicycles, wagons or toys
to some family with children can
get the names of suggested needy
families from the welfare office
in Carthage.
Chairmen in County
Christmas Cheer program
chairmen or organizations for
communities over the county were
listed as follows by Mrs. Cole, in
addition to the VFW here:
Aberdeen, M. B. Pleasants;
Pinehurst, Mrs. James Tufts;
Pinebluff and Adder, volunteer

Mrs. Cole said that unemploy
ment among laboring people such
as sawmill workers has not been
as high this fall as it sometimes is
at this season of the year, but
that there is considerable need
for welfare help around the coun-
fy-
She said that there are a num
ber of totally disabled workers
who have not been in that condi
tion long enough to draw Social
Security benefits and whom the
county welfare department must
provide for until these benefits
are received.
A record of 143 million bushels
of soybeans were exported by the
U. S. in fiscal 1961. Other notable
exports were for corn, hides and
skins, variety meats, and poultry
meats. Fruits and dairy products
held firm. Major reductions were
animal fats, cottonseed and
Jill i******-"^-
soybean oils, and vegetebles.

the 11-state Southern area repre

few berries left; not many: just
a few. And a story we heard the
other day set us thinking.
A man had hung a beautiful
new Christmas wreath on his
door. It was the prettiest they’d
ever had, he was certainly pleas
ed with it. The next morning he
heard a commotion outside. Peep
ing out the window he beheld
four or five big fat robins busily
picking the holly berries off his
wreath.
Wonder did his Christmas Spirit
hold up under that test?
Did he shout: “Merry Christ
mas, birds!” or: “Shoo!”
“Prancing Elks” is the title of
one Christmas card observed this
year. The question arises: are our
Elks and their Does still prancing
after that stupendous party for
the children they gave last week!
There was a lot of Good News
going on among the kids as they
rushed to get their presents from
Santa. “Lookit what I got!” was
’the cry that went up from each
grinning tot. Certainly the Elks
handled their free-for-all with
the Population Explosion in won
derful style.
Good News, too, from the col
lectors for the VFW who seem to
feel that their baskets will, as
usual, get filled. Of course: the
more cash, the more cans, the
more baskets to carry out to the
needy. Such Good News can al
ways be Better News. The Veter
ans’ Christmas Party will be Sun
day "and members, it is rumored,
are running a mile every morning
early to get in trim for, the event.
Good News and Bad News are
combined in the report that, to
date there have been 72 arrests in
town this month for speeding and
traffic violations. This menace
couldn’t be worse—but, yes, it
could, if our town police force
were not doing such an outstand
ing job. Good for the officers,
good for our local court and very
Good News for the town!
The Court itself is about as
Good News as could come to any
town. The conduct of the court,
the wise and just decisions of the
judge, tempered with sense and
kindness, the atmosphere of dig
nity and respect for the law,
make the Southern Pines court
exceptional among municipal
courts. This Good News is spread
ing, too, and that in itself is more
Good News.
Good News, all truly good
news, does spread; like the sun s
rays lighting the dark spots.
That’s what Good News is.

Pines was master of ceremonies.
Chris Shamburger, of Southern
Pines was chairman of the Ladies
Night Committee planning the
event.
On the entertainment prograin
were “The Four Singing Deacs,”
a male quartet from Wake Forest
College, Winston-Salem, directed
by Dr. Thane McDonald, head of
the music department at the col
lege; and six Japanese dancers,
all wives of servicemen stationed
at Fort Bragg. Mrs. Eddie L. Er
vin, Jr., was at the piano for sev
eral songs sung during the eve
ning. A number of door prizes
were awarded.
Traditionally neither the recip
ient of the Builders Cup nor mem
bers of the club, except the selec
tion committee, know in advance
to whom the honor will go, and
an effort is made to conceal the
identity of the winner while he
or she is being introduced and
the activities for which the cup
is being awarded are listed.
Mr. Gilmore’s introduction of
Mrs. Boyd, partly written in origi
nal verse, made direct or implied
reference to various community
organizations or activities in
which she has been active—in
most of them over a long period
of years—including Girl Scout
leadership. Red Cross, Moore
Memorial Hospital, Southern
Pines Library Association, Sand
hills Music Association, Maternal
Welfare and Moore County His
torical Association.
Reference was made indirectly
also to her presentation of a site
for the Episcopal Home for the
Ageing.
In conservation,” Mr. Gilmore
noted during his introduction,
“no one has.been more dedicated
to the beauty of our county
through the wise protection of
our trees, plants and animals.”
He mentioned, too, that The
Pilot, under the editorship of Mrs.
Boyd, has won five first places
in state-wide newspaper contests
in the last seven years. Mrs. Boyd
has been editor of the newspaper
since the death of her husband,
James Boyd, in 1944. Mr. Boyd,
novelist and poet, bought The
Pilot in 1940.
Concluding, and revealing at
the end the identity of the win
ner, Mr. Gilmore continued:
“Just let me add this,” he said.
“A few years back, our winner,
with characteristic concern for
others, wrote a penetrating news
paper story about conditions in
the boarding homes for Moore
County’s old people. The story
concluded: ‘Things are now a lot
better than they used to be. .
but there is still a haunting doubt:
Is this situation really good
enough, or should we try for
something better?’
“Tonight’s winne!r,” Mr. Gil
more said in ending his introduc
tion, “is our winner because of
an abiding concern for her neigh
bors and her community and be
cause she is ever ‘trying for some
thing better’.”
The first Kiwanis Builders Cup
was awarded in 1927 to the late
John R. McQueen. Since then it
has been awarded annually except
the four years, 1932 through 1935,
and the three years, 1944 through
1946. If no suitable recipient is
nominated, the cup is not award
ed.
Mrs. Boyd is the sixth woman
to have won the cup. The other
women wrinners are: Mrs. T. A.
Cheatham of Pinehurst (1937),
Miss Birdilia Bair of Southern
Pines (1943), Mrs. Audrey K. Ken
nedy of Southern Pines (1950),
the late Mrs. William A. Way of
Southern Pines (1952) and the
late Miss Laura Kelsey of South
ern Pines (1953).
Other recent winners, in addi
tion to Mr. Gilmore in 1960, have
been: Wilbur H. Currie of Carth^
age, 1959; John S. Ruggles of
Southern Pines, 1958; John F.
Taylor of Pinehurst, 1957; and
Eugene C. Stevens of Southern
Pines, 1956.

Mrs. Welsh, a winter visitor to
Southern Pines for many years,
had made her home with her sis
ter here since the death of her
husband, Ralph Welsh, in 1955.
The May St. accident occurred
when Miss Wolf’s car, going south
on May, was struck by Darks
car, going east on Massachusetts.
Dark told police he entered the
intersection on an amber light,
thinking it was changing from red
to green. However, it was chang
ing to red and Miss Wolf, on a
green light, was already in^ the
intersection. She and her sister
were on their way to Aberdeen.
Dark, a former furniture worker
now unemployed, told police he
had come to Southern Pines to
try to buy pecans for resale and
that he had become lost in town,
trying to find the A & P store,
when the accident happene^
Several high school students
saw the accident and three of
them attempted mouth-to-mouth
artificial respiration with Mrs.
Welsh—Bob Madigan, Dmkey
Hoskins and Ken Smithson. How-
ever she was dead on arrival at
St. Joseph’s. She was thrown
from the car by the impact of the
collision.
In the parkway accident, tne
Williams car, traveling south, left
the road on the cure between
Midland Road and Pennsylvania

while overturning and coming to

ham-Moore County line, then new
construction from there, mostly
in Chatham County, for 3.5 miles
to S. R. 2303, which then goes to
Goldston.
The cost of the alternate, west
ern route is $125,200, consider
ably less than the original route
because of the cost of a new
Deep River bridge. ’There at-
ready is an existing span across
Deep River on the alternate route.
The breakdown of costs on the
alternate route is; $52,500 for
base and surface $31,500 for drain
age, $18,000 for two culverts, $18,-
800 grading and $4,400 for clear
ing and grubbing.
Aifect 15-501?
Moore commissioners asked
about a route east of S. R. lOOf
and tieing into U. S. 15-501 about
three miles east of Carthage to
S. R. 1006 slightly south of S. R.
1626. However, Davidson Engi
neer T. C. Johnston, Jr., pointed
out this was not part of the pro
posed costs and would be addi
tional.
Informal observers have said
if the new route is completed, in
cluding the route east of S. R.
1006 asked by Moore^ commission
ers, there was a possibility U.S
15-501 may be relocated from
Carthage to Pittsboro. At present,
the federal road passes through
Sanford. However, if moved to
the proposed highway, it would
connect Carthage and Pittsboro
via Goldston, missing Sanford.
The combined boards also said
something should be done quickly
on the proposed routes, because
bids for the alternate route are
scheduled to be advertised Janu
ary 9 with projected letting of
contracts January 30, 1962.
