long been active in its work; N.
L. Hodgkins, treasurer of the
home and member of the board of
directors and executive commit
tee; and Mr. and Mrs. John L.
MacDougall, administrators of the
home who have been at work
here for several months on pre
liminary arrangements and re
ceiving applications for residence.
Invited to attend and receive
recognition for their parts in
making the project possible are
Mrs. T. P. Thomas of Wilson, rep
resenting the diocese’s Episcopal
Churchwomen of which she is
vice president: Freeman Edger-
ton of Charlotte, president of the
Episcopal Laymen of the diocese,
Mrs. Edwin A. Penick of Raleigh,
widow of the late Bishop Penick
who originated the Home for the
Ageing project six years ago; and
Mrs. James Boyd, donor of the
land.
Beginning of construction of
the Home was authorized after
$350,000—a minimum for begin
ning of the work—was contribu
ted by church organizations and
individuals throughout the dio
cese.
In addition to the Rev. Mr.
Caldwell and Mr. Hodgkins, Sand
hills residents who are officials
of the Home are the Rt. Rev
Louis C. Melcher, D. D., former
Bishop of Brazil who is minister
at the Village Chapel in Pine
hurst, and Dr. W. F. Hollister of

one to be named by W. Harry Ful-
lenwider, chairman of the Indus
trial Committee, representing
that committee on the Council.
The move for formation of a
Merchants Council came under
sponsorship of the Industrial Com
mittee. after Mayor John S. Rug-
gles suggested to the committee
that a merchants organization
could be valuable in the develop
ment and promotion of the com
munity in a business way, as the
Industrial Committee is set up to
promote the community’s welfare
through new and existing indus
trial operations.
By an apparently unanimous
show of hands, the group Mon
day night approved also a sug
gestion to write individual let
ters welcoming a department
store to Southern Pines. The mer
chants’ letters would be avail
able to present to any firm con
sidering opening such a store
here. It w^as decided to get up
also a petition signed by the gen
eral public, welcoming a depart
ment store here and pledging
support to it.
The suggestion was made by
Director E. Earl Hubbard who
said that he had been much im
pressed, at the previous week’s
meeting, by Garland McPherson s
report that the owners of the for
mer Patch building are doing all
they can to find a tenant for the
building who will bring a depart
ment store here.

satisfied that the facts were
grossly misrepresented by the
Republican chairman and had no
partisan political signifiance
whatever.”
Brown said that the Democratic
party in Moore County “has
leaned over backwards” to keep
the schools out of politics as have
members of the county board of
education who are all Democrats
“It is the Republican chairman
who has irresponsibly chosen to
drag the schools into politics, not
the Democrats,” Brown said.
In explanation of what had
happened at Aberdeen. Mr. Brown
presented the following statement
by C. Wade Mobley, principal of
the Aberdeen District schools:
“In the Aberdeen School every
one was encouraged to attend the
Governor’s Education Rally. We
do not believe that undue pres
sure or coercion was brought to
bear on anyone.
“The Student Council in the
high school announced that a
treat would be give to the home
room having the highest per cent
of attendance. The reward was a
box of cookies. ,
“In the ninth grade civics class
the unit of study was ‘The State
Government.’ The Governor s vis
it was timely and the teacher an
nounced that ten points would be
given, extra credit, to those who
attended the meeting or f or brmg-

was comparable to the extra cred-

day evening as the Cameron boys

Tuesday evening, the tourney

teams for semi-final action.

Biggest upset of the tournament
came last night (Wednesday) when

Sharpshooting J. Myrick of
Carthage accounted for 41 of the

Brown said that it is clear from
Mobley’s statement that the 10-
point credit offered to students
was not, as Harrington had said,
“in a subject of their choice” but
rather in civics and history
courses related to government and
to the Governor’s speech. More
over, Brown noted, the alleged
“ten-point credit on their average
grade” represented only a tmv
fraction of the points amassed bv
each student in a grading period

evidence found, at Aberdeen oi
elsewhere, of any “party’
