Rev. R. C. Mooney, Jr., pastor of the. church, officiat ed. Burial was in Mount Hope Cemetery. A native of Brooldyn, N. Y Mrs. Van Camp had lived in Southern Pines since 1933 when she came here with some highly engaging . young Paul M. Van Camp, a consulting Engaging Young People Make ^Tender Trap’ Rewarding at The Playhouse An opening-night audience of goodly numbers braved Tuesday’s cold blasts and snow-mixed rain to find cheering reward in the Pinehurst Playhouse’s third of fering of the season, “The Tender Trap.’’ The comedy, which had quite a Broadway run in 1954-55, proved ,a gay bit of tomfoolery with engineer. Because of a heart con dition, her activities had been re stricted for the past 11 years. She was a charter member of the Southern Pines Methodist Church and took an enthusiastic interest in its work. Surviving are her husband, of the home; one daughter, Mrs. William M. Evans, of Chapel Hill; three sons, George of Philadel phia, Pa., Stephen of Southern Pines, and Jerome, a student at Heidelberg, Germany; two sisters, Mrs. R. H. Goldston of Wilson, Mrs. Estelle Cox, of Chevy Chase, Md.; and two brothers, Robert Martin, Trenton, N. J., and John M. Martin of Brooklyn, N. Y. Roger Deering Paintings Now At Playhouse Five paintings by Roger Deer ing are on exhibition at the Pine hurst Playhouse, These or other Deering paintings will remain at the Playhouse during the current 10-week drama season. Mr. Deering, who has a studio and gallery on Midland Road, be tween Southern Pines and Pine hurst, conducts painting classes in the Sandhills in the winter season and at Kennebunkport, Maine, in the summer. At the Playhouse, the two large oils, “The Sword Gate House, Charleston,’’ and “Outer Surf,” the latter painted at Prout’s Neck, Maine, are hung in the lob by. On the stair landings are three watercolors—two scenes from Saint Augustine, Fla., paint ed on a recent trip, and a Maine coastal scene, painted at Kenne bunkport. Eight watercolors by Mr. Deer ing are on view at Howard John son’s Restaurant, between South ern Pines and Aberdeen. people in the cast. Dealing with the involvements of a bachelor reluctant to give up dallying with many ladies to set tle down with one, its charms hinged on those of the ladies iA question—and these were many. 'The glaaiDor list includeji bru nette Joan DeWeese, brownette Gerre Overbrook, strawberry blonde Cornelia Johnson and golden blonde Shelley Post — a luscious set of milestones on one man’s marathon walk into the tender trap of marriage. Miss DeWeese seen last week as the poignant “Cherie” in “Bus Stop,” showed versatility and real theatre personality as the sophis ticated lady and violinist in love —but not too much in love to use her brains. Shelley Post was relentlessly winsome as the blonde who near ly sprang the trap—^with wall-to BIRTHS February 12, Son, Mr. and Mrs Clyde Nichols, Aberdeen. February 15—Son, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur L.

Henry Strozier got a lot of mileage out of a comparatively minor part, the solenm cheimdst out to protect his lady love (Shel ley Post) and scored the biggest number of laughs in proportion to his length of time onstage. Robert Pastene as a musician of dubious talents added a vivid bit. Rocco Bufano, late of the Bar ter Threatre, directed, and Lynn Pecktal, set designer, also a Barter Theatre veteran, scored again with a set of thdughtful artistry skillfully setting the tone. All in all, “The Tender Trap’ is upholding the standard of the Playhouse, which is giving the Sandhills a real Broadway season of 10 highly professional plays. Some of the same performers will be seen next week as the Playhouse essays its first musical comedy, “The Boy Friend,” famed for its flavor of the Roaring Twenties. The plays run from Tuesday through Sunday nights each week, curtain time at 8:30 (opening nights 8:15, Saturday Tale’s Hardware Buys Buildings Tate’s Hardware & Electric Co. on N. E. Broad St. has purchased the buildings in which the com pany and four other businesses, are located, it was announced this week by Parks Real Estate Agency which handled the trans action. Pxu-chase was made from Miss Lizzie Gooch, heir of the late Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Gooch of Southern Pines who formerly owned the buildings. The business space is occupied by the Hardware & Electric Co., a coin laundry, Mc.Allister & Hobbs Market, Melvin’s diy goods store and Hamel’s Restaurant. -VN.

Luther A. Hodges. He formerly headed textile manufacturing en terprises in Moore County, hv- ing for many years at Robbins where he served as mayor for a number of terms. He has long been active in Moore County poli tics. Two senators represent the four-county 12th District. Under a rotation agreement, each coun ty has a senator every four years. Regular sessions of the General Assembly are held every two the “odd-numbered Politics in Moore County is starting—if it ever stopped. The county was favored Satur day by a visit from John P. Ken nedy. While the North Carolina Mr. Kennedy has not officially announced his candidacy to rep resent the Eighth District in the House of Representatives in/the coming campaign, it seems pretty clear that the tour of the district he made last week, accompanied by his close lawyer friend, Syd- nor Thompson, can only augur a decision soon to be announced. (Ed. Note: Since this sto^ was written, Mr. Kennedy has invited thfe press to a conference at Ho ward Johnson’s Restaurant, be tween Southern Pines and Aber deen, on Monday, when it is expected that he wiU announce his candidacy.) Mr. Kennedy, a Harvard graduate and a banker, is from Charlotte and the county which, with Lin coln, holds the majority of dis trict votes, by some 20,000. The Charlotte man would of course, be opposing the incumbent. Rep resentative A. Paul Kitchin of WadesborO. Contrary to Kitchin before his election, Kennedy has served his state already with two terms in the legislature under his belt. In Raleigh he was known as a hard, careful worker, ready after thorough study, to tackle big jobs as well as little ones. Witness his successful battle for the minimum wage law. Undeterred by the fact that the legislation had been turned down by the committee, the Charlotte man worked so vigorously for its consideration and passage that it had the un usual record of being passed by both House and Senate despite the committee’s unfavorable re port, the first time in more than a decade that such a thing had occurred. As for the Kennedy views on national issues, they might be de scribed as cautiously progressive, He is strongly international in his approach but well aware of the great difficulties involved in car rying out the responsibilities of wise world leadership while maintaining stability at home. “This is a very great problem facing the United States,” Ken nedy said: “Can we be positive and progressive in our approach both overseas and at home and remain fiscally sound?” He spoke firmly of ,the same problem in discussing the needs and his hopes for the Eighth Dis trict. He sees the district as inter esting in its contrasts, challeng ing in its needs and possibilities for progress. He feels it calls for strong positive representation, and approach, rather than the timidity and negative thinking which has lately been all too fre quent. Mr. Kennedy stated that he was planning another trip to Moore County and expected to be drop ping in next week Monday when he hopes to meet with members of the county press. years, years. in MOORE COUNTY CHAMPIONS West Southern Pines Yellow Jackets To Begin Play Friday in Tournament The West Southern Pines Yellow Jackets drew a bye in first roimd of the district lA basket ball tournament which opens play at Berkley High gym in Aberdeen today.

She was the former Juliana Royster of Raleigh, who gradu ated from St. Mary’s school, stud ied art in New York and worked as a photographer and illustrator of children’s books before her marriage in 1910 to a Raleigh ar tist. Both were members of families prominent in the history of the State, who shocked their relatives by moving about 19lS to the back- woods of rural Moore County to revive the ancient art of pottery making with kickwheel and wood-burning kilns, using the native clays. In the early years of Jugtown, Mrs. Busbee successfully operated a shop and tea room in New York City, at which the products of the pottery were sold. She return ed to assist her husband in Moore County in 1923. Bernard Leach, English potter, author and world traveler, recog nized as the top authority on pot tery making and author of the Encyclopedia Britannica article on the subject, following a recent visit there called Jugtown “the last wag of the tail of folkcraft in America.” Jugtown proved not a lonesoihe place.for the Busbees, for visitors came there from everywhere through the years, to see the pot tery made, to acquire it for them selves and to enjoy the hospital ity of the Busbees.
