Organized Sunday
After two y.ears of prelimin
ary planning and effort, Our
■Saviour Lutheran Church will
be officially organized Sunday, in
a service at the Civic Club.
The congregation has increased
during the two years from a
group of about 20 interested per
sons, with no minister, to a group
of about 90 who will ba accepted
into membership as part of the
proceedings on Sunday.
The Rev. Jack D. Deal, who
has served the congregation since

the Board of American Missions,
will receive on Sunday the
church’s official call to be the
pastor.
Officiating at the organization

dent of the North Carolina Synod

declare the congregation organ
ized and will also preach.

tion, election of officers of the
congregation and election of nine
councilmen.
Pastor Deal will take part in
the service as liturgist.
A dinner will be served at the
Civic Cluib after the service.
Numerous out-of-town visitors
are expected for the day’s events.
Planning for the church’s pro- |
posed church building, on a site
near the Fairway Motor Court,

is hoped that work on the struc
ture can be completed in 1963.

ucation Week, Noveipber 11-17,

OUT ON A LIMB and complaining loudly was the grey and
v/hite tabby cat (see arrow, above) high in a pine tree on East
Massachusetts avenue last Friday afternoon. To the rescue came
Fire Chief Frank Kaylor with truck and ladder. Climbing 30 feet
up, he had a hard time at first enticing the frightened kitty
within his grasp, but she finally capitulated. Lending assistance
on the ground, and cheering the rescue, were Town Manager
Bud Rainey, Police Chief Earl Seawell and Patrolman C. J.
Benner, who held the ladder. To Chief Kaylor, however, it was
all in the day’s work. “Looks like the same cat I got down out
of another tree Sunday,” he noted. The kitty didn’t say. Once
on the ground, she darted quickly away.

CORRECTION
The organization to whose
board of governors Dr. William
F. Hollister of Midland Road was
recently elected is the American
College of Surgeons, not the
American College of Physicians
and Surgeons, as stated in last
week’s Pilot.
Medting last Week, the full
board of directors of Moore Mem
orial Hospital at Pinehurst ap
proved naming the proposed new
surgical wing of the hospital in
honor of Dr. ClementvR. Monroe,
surgeon who helped to organize
the hospital in 1929 and‘who has
practiced there for the p^st 33
years. \
A resolution of tribute to \he
late Paul Dana of Pinehurst, seiS
retary and treasurer of the hos;'
pital for many years, was adopt
ed by the directors. In a third ac
tion, they appointed Eric Nelson
of Pinehurst to fill the vacancy
arising from the resignation of
Nelson C. Hyde.
Dr. Monroe organized the staff
and procured equipment for
Moore Memorial (then Moore
County Hospital) in 1929, before
the hospital was opened, and was
in charge of all departments dur-
its first year of operation. Now
associated with the nearby Pine
hurst Surgical Clinic, he has prac
ticed at the hospital since its
opening and has been closely con-
'nected with all phases of its
growth and development as, the
board noted, “a faithful, effici
ent and tireless member of the

CHARLES R. JONAS
Elected to Congress
County Bond Issues Heavily Defeated
Two proposed Moore County
bond issues were overwhelmingly
defeated \ in Tuesday’s election.
One bond issue ($175,000) would
have financed construction of a
building to house agricultural
agency offices and also the Moore
County Library.
The other ($75,000) was for a
county Welfare Department
building.
The county-wide results:
Agriculture and library build
ing—2864 for; 5112 against.
Welfare building—2537 for;
5159 against.
Although opposition on the
part of town residents to the agri
culture and library building had
been predicted. South Southern
Pines precinct was the only one
of the county’s 19 precincts to
approve both of the bond propos
als, voting 256 for, 234 against on
the agriculture building and 253
for, 206 against, on the welfare
building.
Three other precincts—North
Southern Pines, West Carthage
and West End—voted for one of
the proposals, the agriculture-
library building.
All other precincts in the coun
ty, including rural areas that
would have benefited most from
them, voted against bonds for
both of the projects.
Strongest opposition was shown
in the solidly Republican pre
cincts, Robbins, Westmoore, Ben-
salem and Ritters.

Charles R. Jonas, Republican,
of Lincolnton, defeated A. Paul
Kitchin, Democrat, of Wadesboro
for the 8th District Congressional
seat Tuesday, but Moore County
remained in the Kitchin column
by a slim margin of 78 votes.
The results:
In the district—Jonas, 63,952;
Kitchin, 52,804.
In the county—Jonas, 4403;
Kitchin, 4481.
The hotly contested contest put
in opposition two incumbent Con
gressmen—Jonas with 10 years in
Washington as representative of
the former 10th district and
Kitchin six years representing
the 8th. Redistricting threw them
together.
Kitchin won all six counties
that were in his 8th District.
Jonas took the counties new to
the 8th, his native Lincoln and
populous Mecklenburg which vot
ed for him more than two to one,
assuring his victory.
County Goes Democratic
Moore County elected a full
slate of Democratic officials in
cluding five county commissioners
and five members of the county
board of education. Republicans
had contested four commissioner
seats and three on the education
board.
In the most hotly fought com
missioner race, Republican Chal
lenger Wallace W. O’Neal of Pine
hurst failed to unseat W. Sidney
Taylor of Aberdeen, Democratic
incumbent. Taylor polled 4,654
votes to O’Neal’s 3,934. O’Neal’s
vote ran about 500 ahead of other
Republicans in the commissioner
contests.

Moore County returns appears on
