At the Pittsboro session Decem ber 15, the cost of plan No. 2 was listed as some $200,000 less than plan No.-l, largely due to lack of need for a new bridge over Deep River on the western route. Moore County proponents of Route No. 1, however, contend that the cost is not the most im portant aspect of the proposals. Senator Currie, who told the commissioners Tuesday that he felt “badly let down” after his .10 years of effort on behalf of the eastern route, said that the east ern route would be of tremendous benefit to Moore and Chatham Counties by opening up for de velopment a large isolated region in the northeastern corner of Moore County, as well as an area across the line in Chatham. He called the area “the biggest area in North Carolina without a highway through it.” He also pointed out that the eastern route would pass close to the House in the Horseshoe and the Governor Williams tomb, making these his toric attractions available to far larger numbers of people. Senator Currie said that the money was supposed to have been set up three years ago to build the eastern route' road and that he had known nothing of the Glen don route proposal until after the meeting of the Moore and Chat ham boards last month. Final decision as to the routes will be made by the full Highway Commission, Moore commission ers may decide to seek a hearing before the commission, but a def inite decision on this matter had not been made today. Opposition to the eastern route appears to be coming from San ford interests who seem to fear the road may precede an effort to route Highway 15-501 from Pittsboro to Carthage over the new road rather than through Sanford, as at present. Moore County commissioners said this week they have no intention of seeking any such change in 15- 501, should the eastern route be chosen. The Southern Aristocrats, an aggragation of star performers in the fine art of barber shop har mony, will be featured next Thursday, January 11, in the third presentation of the current Pinehurst Forum season at the Pinehurst Country Club. This talented and entertaining group includes Alvin Connell, tenor; Baxter Westmoreland, Jr., lead; John Elkins, baritone, and Malcolm Campbell, bass. They are prize-winning representatives of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in Ameri ca—SPEBSQSA for short. In only four years this outstanding group has been chosen three times to represent the southern area in in- fternational competition. They have been acclaimed by audiences from Providence to Miami and have traveled no less than 25,000 miles to present their talented routines. An added .attraction to next week’s Forum presentation will be Sidney Hellier, accordionist, a native of England, and featured most recently with the famous Montevani Orchestra. Mr. Hellier will entertain during, the regular buffet dinner at the Pinehurst Country Club. SPEBSQSA is an international organization consisting of some 650 chapters and 30,000 members in the United States and Canada. The Southern Aristicrats, as top representatives of this group, will present a repertoire of comedy and serious numbers chosen to give a cross-section and history of barber-shop singing in America. Capt. George F. Shearwood, president of the Pinehurst Forum, has asked that final membership applications and contributions for the current season be forwarded prior to the next performance in order that a complete list of mem bers may be ready for official an nouncement at that time. Opposition to the eastern route is also said to be coming from the area of Chatham County through which the western route would pass. One member of the Chatham board of commission ers is said to be especially inter ested in that section of his county and to oppose the eastern route reportedly favored by other mem bers of the Chatham board. E. C. STEVENS (Continued from Page 1) Mr. Stevens was active in the Chamber of Commerce during the 1920’s and 1930’s when the town was becoming established as a resort.

From 1941 until 1952 he was Moore County chairman of de fense bond, later savings bond,, sales. For his excellent service he was awarded in 1954 the U. S Treasury Department’s Order of Merit.

Forum Will Hear Male Quartet, Accordionist ONE MAN (Continued from Page 1) would have found a true bill on a manslaughter charge nor could a conviction have been obtained in Superior Court, if probable cause had been found in the local court hearing. In another fatal accident case, however. Judge Fullenwider found probable cause on a man slaughter charge. The defendant was Paul S. Williams, 29, of Route 2, Carthage, driver of an automo bile that overturned on No. 1 highway parkway, December 16, killing Williams’s nephew, Wal ter Franklin McNeill, 16. Williams, who pleaded not guilty, was ordered held for the grand jury under $2,500 bond. The case will probably be calen dared for trial at the January 29 term of Moore County Superior Court in Carthage. Police estimated the speed of the Williams car at the time of the accident as 70 miles per hour and said the car traveled 321 feet out of control. Williams denied to officers that he was exceeding the speed limit and said the car turned over when he swerved to avoid two parked cars, one of which was on the highway.

OxuJ!ifi b, CJ^ A NEW BREAST FORr FOR POST MASTECTOMY The Public Speaking Dog Law Should be Revoked or Modified To the Editor: Your editorial on the new dog la'w ih the issue of December 28, 1961, was read with a great deal of interest. The items you discused have been thoroughly considered; and your comments and suggestions are pertinent and practical. Obviously, this hurriedly en acted law should be revoked, or drastically modified by amend ments as you suggested. “Item number three” deserves some comment. This provision (giving officers authority to shoot vicious dogs) alone is sufficient to warrant revocation or amend ment. Our law enforcement agen cies are already overburdened with work. How, then, can we give the added responsibility of enforcing an impractical ordi nance to our police department? There are a couple of questions, for information purposes, that I would like to ask. What is younr opihion of the posible development of dog “boot legging” in this area? This prac tice is common in many of the large centers of the Eastern Sea board, and flourishes, where ani mals ar not protected by proper laws. How does the threat presented to life, limb, and liberty by dogs compare with the threat posed to life, limb, and liberty by automo biles? CLARENCE B. FOSTER, M.D. 139 E.
