3 Youths Arrested in Connection With
Numerous Forgeries in Sandhills Area
A get-rich-quick scheme of
three Negro youths of West End
blew up when one of them, pass
ing a forged check at Pinehurst,
was arrected through alertness of
a store manager and spilled his
story to police.
A hearing held for two of the
youths, Bobby Lee Marsh, 22,
Ulysses Roberts, 19, in Moore
County Recorders Court Monday,
at which probable cause was
found for aiding and abetting in
forgery, was one of a series being
held in various courts resulting
from the investigation which en
sued.
Lee Daniel Monroe, 18, admit
tedly the master forger of the
checks, for which all three served
as “passers,” waived hearing in
Southern Pines and Aberdeen
courts last week. All three
youths early this week had
failed to make the $500 bond set
for each for appearance in Super
ior Court. One or more of the
ring have also been in the San
ford court and are booked this
week for Troy.
When on January 2, T. A. Garn-
eau, manager of the Men’s Shop
at Pinehurst, cashed a check for
$23.16 made out to James Carter,”
signed by “Roy Kelly, Land
scapes,” it was only a minute or
two before he recognized that
the signature was not that of
Kelly, whom he knew. He went
out alter the youth—Monroe—and
got his money back, kept the
check and called Officer W. E.
Miller, who just happened to be
in sight on the comer.
Before Miller, Chief J. T. Shep
herd and Deputy Sheriff J. A.
Lawrence got through questioning
Monroe, he had owned up to for-
girig 10 checks passed by the
three-man ring.
Holt McPherson Named
To Wachovia Board
Holt McPherson of High Point,
brother of Garland McPherson of
Southern Pines, has been elected
to the board of directors of the
Wachovia Bank and Trust Co.
whose headquarters are at Win
ston-Salem, with extensive oper
ations in the state.
Holt McPherson is editor Of the
High Point Enterprise, chairman
of the board of High Point College
and organized and president of
the Journalism Foundation. He
has a number of friends and ac
quaintances in Southern Pines
and the Sandhills.
Two days later Marsh was ar
rested at West End, and a week
after that Roberts, who had skip
ped out (to Philadelphia, the
others said) came back and gave
himself up to Deputy Lawrence.
The investigation, in which of
ficers of the various other towns
cooperated, turned up the forged
checks at Pinehurst (two at the
Underpass Service Station, one
at Hobbs Grocery and the one at
the Men’s Shop, though no prose
cution was made for this); one
each at Southern Pines and Aber
deen, and others at Sanford, Can
dor and Fayetteville. There may
be others. Chief Shepherd said.
They ranged in amounts from
$18.35 to $42.38, all mqde out to
fictional characters, “signed” by
well-known local citizens and
marked, “For labor.”
Except for the incident which
sparked the investigation, the
youths apparently had little trou
ble getting their checks cashed
except at Fayetteville. There, of
ficers lesirned, Roberts had pre
sented the check for $42.38, forg
ed by Monroe with the “signa
ture” of Sgt. C. E. Collins, at the
Bragg Boulevard branch of the
First Citizens Bank & Trust Co.
The check was drawn on that
bank and the cashier phoned the
main office to verify the account.
As he reached for the phone,
Roberts quickly asked directions
to the men’s room, left the scene
and kept going, leaving the check
behind.
All the checks to which they
admitted, dated as far back as
November 28, were passed be
tween December 16 and January
2. The total of those cashed came
to something over $200, none of
which has been recovered.
Farm Bureau to Have
Important Meeting
President S. R. Ransdell, Jr.,

bers of Moore County Farm Bu
reau to attend a “most important”
meeting of the organization in the
courtroom in Carthage Friday,
January 19 at 7:30 p. m. Member
ship cards for 1962 should he

Ransdell said, “This is the most
important meeting affecting the
future of farming you will attend

years. You and your welfare will

Similar meetings are being held

Mmimiim Wage Law Exteiisioii to Smdl
Firms Affecting 19,000 N.
A delayed but welcome Christ
mas present was found in the
stockings of some 19,000 Tar Heel
workers <on New Year’s Day.
On that date, the North Caro
lima Mmimum Wage Law began
to apply to ibusiness establish
ments employing four or more
people during any payroll period.
Extension of the law’s 75-cents
an hour minimaam wage -coverage
to these small establishments was
accomplished by "tee N. C. Gener
al Assembly on Jmne 1, 1961.
However, the amendment effect
ing the change was written to be
come effective on Jaraiary 1, 1962.
Prior to January 1, l'9e2, the
two-year old statute applied to
employers having six or more
covered employees on their pay
rolls.
The amendment brings the Min
imum Wage Law’s coverage into
conformity with compulsory cov
erage under the State’s Employ
ment Security Law, which also
applies to firms employing four or
more workers.
In Small Firms
Most of the newly covered em
ployees will be those working in
small retail trade enterprises and
service-industry establishments.
The measure was strongly en
dorsed by Governor Terry San
ford and Labor Commissioner
Frank Crane.
The need for broadening the
base of the Minimum Wage Law
was pointed out last spring by
Commissioner Frank Crane. La
bor Department inspectors early
in 1961 found some small busi
nesses in all sections of the State
“paying wages of 60 cents an
hour, 55 cents, 50 cents, and all
the way down to 33 cents an
hour,” Commissioner Crane told
the House Committee on Manu
facturers and Labor. “These es
tablishments were operating in
the same cities and towns in
which their larger competitors
were paying from 75 cents to more
than $1.00 an hour,” he said.
North Carolina’s Minimum
Wage Law—first in the South—
is estimated to have affected, di
rMtly or indirectly, the wages of
about 100,000 Tar Heel workers,
and has been cited as a factor in
the State’s recent gains in per
capita income.
Earnings Rise
Earnings of some 55,000 employ
ees were increased directly when
the law became effectroe two
years ago. Through revision :of
wage scales to maintain differen
tials, many more i>eople were af
fected indirectly.
Earnings of variety store em
ployees are now 25 cents an hour
higher than in 1959; laundry and
dry cleaning workers, 14 cents
an hour higher; hotel and motel
employees, 14 cents an hour high
er.
For 165,000 people employed in
all the State’s retail trade in No
vember, earnings were 10 cents
an hour higher than the average
for 1959.
