Wood cook stoves are becom
ing almost as rare in rural North
Carolina as mules. So are wood
heaters, outside water pumps and
the Saturday night wash basin.
Running water is about as com
mon in rural areas as automo
biles, and even such things as air
conditioners and clothes dryers
are no longer oddities.
GOOD
We wish great
happiness and
every success
for this class.

Cicero Carpenter
Dies Monday At
Moore Memorial
Cicero Carpenter, highly re
spected rr.smber of the commu
nity, died at Moore Memorial
Hospital Monday at 11:55 a. m.
He had suffered for several
years from an enlarged and fail
ing heart and several weeks ago
was taken to the hospital. He
was able to return to his home at
1200 West New Hampshire Ave
nue, but became critically ill a
week ago, returning to the hospi
tal on Saturday. He did not re
cover consciousness.
Survivors are his wife, the for
mer Flossie Graham, a son, Cicero
Carpenter, Jr., and a grandson,
Jerry Carpenter. Also five broth
ers: Nattie N. Carpenter, Sherman
Carpenter, Booker T. Carpenter,
Armpie Carpenter, and Caesar
Carpenter. A sixth brother, Mar
vin, died some years ago. Sur
viving sisters are: Mrs. Florence
C. Gaston and Mrs. Elizabeth C.
Hough.
The funeral s>srvice was held at
3 o’clock today, (Thursday) at
the First Missionary Baptist
Church, of which the deceased
was a member for many years.
The pastor, the Rev. G. B. Gil
christ, officiated.
Cicero Carpenter was born in
Albemarle on the farm of his par
ents, Joseph and Martha B. Car
penter, the date was November
23, 1902. There he grew up with
his many brothers and sisters, ac
quiring in his boyhood the know
ledge of farming, of building,
and, especially, of the care of an
imals, which stood him so well in
subsequent years; acquiring also
the honesty and high ideals that
marked his life. He first came
to Southern Pines in the early
nineteen-twenties and was en
gaged by the late James Boyd to
take care of the horses and help
with the care and training of the
Moore County Hounds. Mr. Car
penter remained in this position
of great responsibility until, in
1942, the Boyd family gave up
hunting and the pack was turned
over to the present ownership.
Since that time, the deceased
has been occupied with building
and repair work. Though of late
he was cautioned that such ener
getic work was risky because of
a heart weakness, he refused to
retire from work.
Holding a place of trust and
high respect in his community.
Mr. Carpenter was a leader both
in civic affairs and in his church.
In the latter he acted as treasur
er of the church, as chairman of
the Board of Trustees, and as
D.sacon. He was a member of the
church’s banking committee. In
civic affairs he was a member of
the NAACP and of the West
Southern Pines Civic Club.
The character of Cicero Csurpen-
ter was simple, quiet, dignified;
staunch and true: he led a life
of high principles and of influ
ence for good among all who
knew him. Southern Pines has
lost a fine citizen in the death of
Cicero Carpenter.

The unique advantage of the electric heat pump is
that it is flameless. The filtered air reduces cleaning
and redecorating chores to a delightful new low since
there are no products of combustion.
In effect, you "climatize" your home the year
'round with a simple setting of a thermostat.
Here you will find the flameless electric heat pump which "climatizes"
your home with springtime freshness the year 'round. The same, compact
unit which cools you pleasantly in summer, also keeps you comfortably
warm in winter ... all with the simple setting of a ihermostat.
Perhaps you are wondering though whether this flameless electric
cooling and heating system can compare favorably in cost with competitive
systems. For proof that it does, just ask a CP&L representative about
CP&L's new. still lower rate for total-electric living when you visit this
home. Or, if you prefer, call a nearby CP&L Office.
Remember - only flameless electricity provides matchless Medallion
Living.
