It was during his ad ministration that the State pro gressed further than any other state in obtaining new industries, Mr. Cushman said. In 1961, the Legislature nom inated him as a trustee of the Greater University, and he was the only man to receive all votes cast for that much-sought-after position. Locally, he was chair man of the recent successful building fund drive for Moore Memorial Hospital, and last month was elected to the State Senate to represent the district that includes Moore County. “He is the type of man in whom you can put faith and trust,” said Mr. Cushman. Celebrating their 40th year of civic service, the Kiwanians were extended congratulations from F. O.

However, the Home’s directors empowered the building commit tee to negotiate a contract for eight to 10 additional rooms to be added to the main structure. Funds are available for this work. Ground was broken for the Home on March 4, by the Rt. Rev. Richard H. Baker, D. D., bishop of the Diocese of North Carolina, but letting of a contract was de layed by adjustments in the plans and specifications. It is planned that several cot tages and an apartment building with several three-room units for couples will be built simultane ously on the property, unconnect ed with the main structure. The building committee has been em powered to let contracts for these buildings as well as for the addi tional rooms in the main building. H. T. Cosby of Charlotte, pres ident of the Home, presided at Monday’s meeting. The Rev. Mar tin Caldwell, rector of Emmanuel Church here, is first vice presi dent. N. L. Hodgkins of Southern Pines is treasurer. A local mem ber of the board of directors, in addition to the officers, is Dr. William F. Hollister. Howard Broughton of Southern Pines is attorney for the board. Mr. and Mrs. John MacDougall are administrators for the Home and will be in charge of its opera tion after construction. They have been active in preliminary work for the past year, and have a tem porary office in the Information Center building on E. Pennsyl vania Ave. They are handling ap plications for residence at the Home. Facilities included in the main unit on which work has begun in clude, in addition to the 40 or more bedrooms: A 10-bed, fully equipped infirm ary with facilities for medical care and physical therapy. A kitchen and dining room de signed to serve 90 to 100 persons. Craft shops with facilities for weaving, ceramics, etc. Large lobby with offices. A library. The home will provide life care with medical benefits and has flexible admission and cost poli cies. Fees are charged on several bases—by the month, in a lump sum and others. There is no re- quir.sment that a person entering the home turn over to it all his financial resources. The full name for the institution is Episcopal Home for the Ageing in the Diocese of North Carolina. This diocese covers a wide area in th.3 east-central and Piedmont sections of the state, running as far west as Charlotte. Applicants for residence at the Home need not, however, be residents in the Diocese. The site, which lies east of Ridge St., was formerly a portion of Weymouth estate and was giv en to the dioc.ese by Mrs. James Boyd. E. CONNECTICUT AVE. EXTENSION Soldier Killed In One-Car Wreck A one-car accident a few min utes past midnight took the life of a 29-year-old Fort Bragg ser viceman .early Tuesday, on East Connecticut Ave. extension about half mile from the entrance to the military reservation. Killed when his 1956 Mercury hardtop failed to make a curve and smashed against a tree v/as Sgt. Ernest Samuel Barnes, of Co. B, 92nd EBC of the 82nd Air borne. His home town was Rock Hill, S. C. The tree, standing at the left of the highway, just beyond the culvert that carries Mill Creek un der the road, is the same that was struck by an automobile in Oc tober, 1960, killing two young men and injuring another. Barnes was heading toward the post, where he is believed to have been living with his family. Pho tos in his billfold indicated he was married, with young children. In the trunk of the car and undam aged by the accident were three small brand-new tricycles, as if in preparation for Christmas. Patrolman F. R. Wicker, inves tigating, said there was indica tion of speed, which, while prob ably not excessive under normal conditions, was higher than safe on the winding, S-curve road. Recommended speed in the ansa is 40 miles per hour on the first curve of the S and 30 on the curve where Barnes left the road. Wicker said witnesses had seen the car a few minutes earlier l;.2ading north on US Highway 1 between Aberdeen and Southern Pines, and observed it speed up on the four-lane highway. Barnes, traveling alone, was pinned inside the car by the force of the crash, and his body was re moved with difficulty. This was the first case handled by the new Moore County Coroner, W. K. Carpenter of Pinebluff, who had been sworn in only Monday morn ing. He rendered a verdict of ac cidental death.
