Dedication of USS

TEEING OFF =>= WITH deNISSOFF
' GoY Day"
Gov. Sanford has designated
June 2 as “Golf Day” in North
Carolina. This is in line with the
PGA’s request to the governors
of all 50 states to recognize Na
tional Golf Day thro.ugh proclam
ations, etc.
The 11th annual observance,
under the auspices of the Pro
fessional Golfers’ Association,
gives golfers over the nation an
opportunity to play in competi
tion at their clubs and to give a
boost to charity at the same time.
“During the last 10 years,” said
Sanford, “$850,000 has been real
ized from National Golf Day for
the United Service Organizations,
the American Red Cross, the cad
die scholarship funds, the U. S.
Blind Golfers’ Association. . . and
other worthwhile projects.”
Speaking of Caddies. . .
Sam Snead, we note, has invi
ted his favorite caddy, Jimmy
Steed of Pinehurst, to carry his
bag in the $100,000 Thunderbird
tournament June 7-10 at Mont
clair, N. J.
In February, Jimmy was picked
by Paul Rawden of New Haven,
Conn, for the dubious honor of
toting Rawden’s bag on his one-
day marathon tour of all five
Pinehurst courses, a total of some
18 miles. We hope Jimmy won’t
have to get in shape for the
Snead assignment by hoofing it to
Montclair!
The Thunderbird, incidentally,
is staged as a charity event to
benefit MEND, the National
Foundation for Neuro-Muscular
Diseases.

for Monday, June 4.
Hemmer was also present in
Bayonne, N. J. last winter when
the North Carolina was turned
over to Governor Sanford, for a
war memorial, by the U. S. Navy.
It was while photographing
this ceremony that Hemmer fell
and iniured his side and arm and
was unable, because of the acci
dent, to accompany the ship on
her voyage from Bayonne to her
permanent berth in Wilmington.
Mrs. Byron W. Whitman leaves
today for her home in Reading,
Pa. after a 10-day visit here with

was here also for tbs weekend.
