crossing sites in Moore and Cum
berland counties and representa
tives from Hoke and Scotland
counties. All of the owners could
not be invited due to the large
number involved.
Hoke county officials and large
andowners Were among the
group present for a luncheon and
briefing by General Howze at the
Fort Bragg Officers Open Mess
Others present included press
representatives from the foiu:
counties involved.
Attending from Moore County
were Forest Lockey of Aberdeen,
president of the Aberdeen &
Rockfish Railroad which runs
from Aberdeen to Fayetteville,
across the entire proposed man
euver area, including the corri
dor; former Sen. J. Hawley Poole
who has peach orchards in Hoke
County; and John McPhaul of
Southern Pines, a Hoke County
native who owns land in the coun
ty.
Each property owner will be
personally contacted by represen
tative of the district engineer’s of
fice in the near future.
General Howze, in explaining
the proposal, said that troops
maneuvering on private property
would avoid all fields in crops,
farm buildings and equipment. In
the corridor, trucks would be re
quired to operate off existing
roads. In other areas, only exist
ing roads and trails would be
used. Blank ammunition would be
ired occasionally in all areas, but
no live ammunition would be
used. There would be no bivouac-
ing (camping) or foxhole digging
in any of the areas.
No firing would be permitted
near the State Tuberculosis Sani-
torium.
Limited construction of bridge
crossings and approaches would
be necessary at the Moore and
Cumberland county sites.
General Howze emphasized that
Bragg could more adequately
train its soldiers to face enemy
troops with the additional train
ing area which would be provided
by these maneuver rights.
“Training, American soldiers is
an Army responsibility,” he said,
“but to produce the best soldiers
the best trained fighting men in
the world. . . (requires) . . . the
cooperation and support of every
American.”
Bragg’s training responsibility
is increased during the summer
when Army Reserve and National
Guard units and ROTC cadets
swell the population of the post
lo nearly 56,000. To train them,
and to train the 43,000 soldiers
stationed at Bragg will require
all of the facilities at Bragg and
Mackall, the general said. “The
corridor and the other areas are
necessary if we are to give these
men the training they must have,”
he continued.
‘Fort Bragg many times has
had to call on its neighbors for
their support on its neighbors for
its mission. I feel that our r-equest
is reasonable and in view of the
world situation, I hope that you
will agree that it is justified. With
.your support and cooperation, we
shall continue to produce the
finest soldiers we can,” General
Howze concluded.

Five Speeches
Speaking off the cuff. Gover
nor Sanford made five different
speeches, but in all of them the
main points were the same:
“We have started out to make
North Carolina schools second to
none in the land. Each of you is
entitled to the best education that
can be provided. This is more im
portant today than ever before,
and there is much more to knov'
and to learn than ever before.
“Our plans have led us ini.
some ways which are not very-
popular but that is the risk wc
have to take, for we are firmly
committed to this education pro
gram.
“It means retaining our state’s
leadership, building the kind of
citizens our nation needs, keeping
the economy strong, safeguarding
our freedoms, and helping each
one of you achieve your ambi
tions. It means giving you the
tools to make the kind of world
you want.

sion are spending more time in
the field to increase their combat
■ readiness. These STRAC units
would be among the first to be
committed in a “shooting” war.
2. Bragg’s troop population has
: jumped from 30,000 to 43,000 in
the last six months and will reach
: 56,000 during the summer reserve
training period.
3. In addition, the possibility of
a nuclear war forces each unit in
combat to spread out to minimize
the effect of an atomic attack.
This new principle must be car
ried into training, to test new
communications, transportation,
and supply procedures.
The proposal. Which will be
presented to all landowners con
cerned, is for certain maneuver
rights for a one-year period, be
ginning May 1.
The general explained that
these tracts would not be in con
stant use. Bragg needs maneuver
rights for those training exercises
which are conducted between
Bragg and Mackall. In addition, it
needs suitable river crossing sites
to train engineer units in bridg
ing techniques.
The Moore County bridge man
euver site is located near the
eastern tip of Little River town
ship where Little River is joined
by Turkey Creek. The river forms
the boundary between the Fort
Bragg and Little River township
along most of the southern boun
dary of the township.
Bragg’s proposal is to request
these maneuver rights from prop
erty owners without payment.
However, owners are assured that
they will be paid promptly for
any damages or losses suffered.
Attending the meeting were

years the championship trophy
had gone to Lakelawn Farms.
Reserve champion was Blythe
wood, aging brown gelding own
ed and ridden b.y Miss Mary
Swan Sprague of Savannah, Ga.,
and Warrenton, Va., winner also
of the trophy and blue ribbon in
the non-Thoroughbred Hunter
class.
The Field Hunter Challenge
Trophy for the best hunter, in
the committee’s opinion, hunting
“fairly and regularly” with the
Moore County Hounds during the
current year, went to Blue Fox,
grey gelding owned by Miss Bet
ty Dumaine of Pinehurst. Blue
Fox did not take part in the
hunter trials and performance was
not required for the trophy.
In the Championship class, first
and second place winners of pre
vious classes followed a tricky ob
stacle course, with Richard D
Webb, joint MFH (with W. O.
Moss) of the Moore County
Hounds as fieldmaster. With nine
starting, only three hunters com
pleted the course, the others re
fusing along the way.
There was more than a hint of
spring in the air, and well over
1.000 turned out for the gala occa
sion. Among the many fine local
hunters, and others from Con
necticut Pennsylvania, New
York, Canada and elsewhere
were some entering for the first
time from the Sedgefield and
Mecklenburg County Hunts, also
from Raleigh.
Among stables entering horse.s
for the first time were Horseshoe
Acres of Raleigh, Fairway Farms
of Greensboro, Whitehall Stables
and Mrs. William C. Cooke’s Barn
at Charlotte.
The Children’s Hunter Class
was the largest in the history of
the trials, with 27 entries, their
riders ranging from about eight
to 12 years of age showing much
admirable horsemanship.
This class also proyided the

■leaves $450,000—about one-fourth

paign.
Mr. Saunders said: “This sort
of ‘investment’ is one which war
rants the thoughtful considera
tion of everyone in the hospital’s
service area. We don’t often have
such an opportunity to make our
money work so hard for us in pro
viding medical care.”
Chaizmen Mamed
He said that the campaign will
be conducted throughout the hos
pital’s service area, covering all
population centers for which the
hospital is operated. Chairmen
have been appointed to head the
volunteer soliciting groups in
each area: Aberdeen, Dr. E. M.
Medlin; Cameron, George M.
Thomas; Carthage, H. G. Poole:
Eagle Springs and Samarcand, J.
Reece Monroe; Pinehurst, William
C. Harris and John M. Reeves;
Robbins, E. Marvin Ritter; South
ern Pines, the Rev. R. Martin
Caldwell, Jr., and Mrs. Leon Sey
mour; Vass, C. L. Tyson; West
End, Allan A. McDonald.
Other Appointments
Other appointments in the cam
paign’s over-all leadership were
announced. Duncan McGoogau,
hospital administrator, will serve
as campaign treasurer. Robert S.
Ewing of Southern Pines will
serve as chairman of the Commu
nications Division.
Organization is continuing in
both soliciting and non-soliciting
divisions of the campaign. Mr.
Saunders said that more than 400
persons will be enlisted before the
organization is complete.
‘This can be no small effort,”
he said. ‘The expansion of our
hospital’s facilities is far too im
portant a job to go into the financ
ing of it in a half-hearted man
ner. We don’t expect the job of
raising $450,000 to be easy, but
the dedication of the volunteers
enlisted so far indicates that we
will most certainly surpass our
minimum objective.”
What Is Planned
This phase of the Moore Mem
orial Hospital project will provide
a new three-floor air-conditioned
surgical wing. One floor will con
tain expanded surgical facilities
to replace the present operating
rooms, virtually imchanged since
the hospital was founded in 1929.
X-ray and central sterile supply
areas will be given expanded
areas.
The second and third floors of
the new wing will permit the
hospital to increase its approved
capacity from 119 to more than
200 beds.

And here they would all rise,

Cites Progress
The Governor, asking the high
school seniors to hold up their
hands, pointed out at each school
that scientific progress made
since the boys and girls about to
graduate were born has been
greater than in all the prior cen
turies .He drew parallels with his
own childhood, not so far dis
tant, and the era of science mar
vels in which today’s young pco-
ple live. Colonel Glenn’s feat, he
said, is just the beginning.
The gyms and school auditori
ums where he spoke were decora
ted with education posters the
children had jnade. At Robbins
many of the youngsters held post
ers greeting the Governor, and
bearing messages such as “Luck.y
Children—A Plucky Governor,”
“Governor Sanford Made a Start
—Let’s Do Our Part!” and “We
Learn Today—We Lead Tomor
row.”
At Pinckney, pennant-piosters
lined the walls and were strung
across the auditorium.
Gifts Presented
At each of the schools, gifts
were presented the Governor.
At Elise High, Jane Yow, o
Westmoore school, and Mark
James Barber of Eagle Springs
presented him with wares from
Jugtown and Old Plank Road pot
teries, a carved inlaid wooden
lamp made by Robbins agricul
ture students, a basket of canned
Sandhills peaches and a photo
graph of “The House in the Horse
shoe.”
At Pinckney, the gift was
country ham cured by boys of the
agriculture department under the
direction of G. W. Herring.
At Carthage High he received
a carved wooden hen, symbol o'
the poultry industry, and at Aber
deen, a golf putter, symbol of
famed Sandhills recreation.

of a ground-breaking ceremony
on a wide pine-bordered meadow
on Union Church road, across
from historic Union Presbyterian
Church, where he turned the first
