guests attending.
Several committees are work
ing in preparation for the bazaar
and prospects are for an out
standing event, she said. Many
unusual and desirable articles
have already been given by the
members for sale, and others will
be received Monday from 10 a. m.
to 4 p. m. at the Village Chapel
Hall, it was pointed out.
President Ralph T. Mills con
ducted the meeting, featurinfi^an
interesting “pinch-hit” spe^Scer,
after Dr. Philip N. Brown, feder
al geologist, was prevented from
coming by a family emergency.
The substitute was Stephen L.
Conrad, of the staff of Dr. J. L.
Stuckey, state geologist, who had
been a member of Dr. Stuckey’s
team in preparing the geological
map of Moore County a couple of
years ago. Displaying the map,
he gave many little-known facts
on the clays, shales and other for
mations which go to make up the
county’s underpinnings, including
some of considerable economic
promise.

A 100-acre site for the college,
estimated to be worth around
$40,000, has been donated by Mrs.
C. Louis Meyer, east of the road
from Pinehurst to ths Southern
Pines-Pinehurst Airport.
The bond issue funds for pub
lic school construction will be
shared by the three administra
tive units, Moore County, South
ern Pines and Pinehurst, on a per
capita (per student) basis, with
the county system’s share perniit-
ting quick completion of the high
school consolidation program.
Union Pines school, now nearly
finished, is expected to open next
September, and the other two
units, along with the college, in
September, 1965.

himself.
Three children, aged four, six
and 10, were in the house at ths
time of the shooting, but did not
witness it. Chief Searwell said.
Mrs. Bennett, who had three old
er children, none now living here,
by a former marriage, was a maid
in the Harold Collins home. Her
husband had been unemployed.
Coroner W. K. Carpenter of
Pinebluff, Who investigated both
the shootings, here and near Car
thage, said that a bullet struck
Mrs. Bennett behind the right
ear, ranging downward to shatter
her jaw, apparently causing in
stant death.
The second shooting, that of
Barbara Alice Vernon Cobb, 23,
is being investigated by Chief
Deputy Sheriff H. H. Grimm. He
said her husband; William Felton
Cobb, 24, a tenant farmer, admit
ted having had the death weapon,
a shotgun, in his hands during a
quarrel but didn’t remember fir
ing it. He also admitted having
been drinking. '
The shotgun blast hit the low
er left side of the woman’s neck,
killing her instantly. She fell
across a bed on her back, her
feet hanging over the edge. On
the floor at her feet was found
a rifle.
In bed in the next room at the
time were the couple’s four
young children, twin girls two
years old, and other children
three and five.
Cobb, in hysterical condition,
told officers she had accused him
of not going to work that day,
but of “gadding around Southern
Pities and Pinehurst, drinking
whiskey and beer.” He admitted
this was true, and that he had
come in late. A fried-chicken sup
per which she had prepared for
him was untouched in the room.
One word led to another, he
said, till the quarrel became vio
lent.

now bearing also the official Post
Office sign.
“I am pleased that the Post Of
fice Department saw fit to ex
tend service to this growing
area,” Mr. Bailey said. He stayed
at Whispering Pines Friday
through the first dispatch of out
going mail in the late morning.
An interesting feature of this
mail was a group of 30 “first day
cancellations” sought by stamp
collectors from the North, Far
West, Mid-West and other areas
of the United States.
Mr. Bailey explained that col
lectors learn about opening of
new post offices, including such
comparatively small operations
as the Whispering Pines rural
station, from a bulletin that is is
sued by the Post Office Depart
ment. They then send in stamped
letters to be cancelled on the
opening day.
’The Carthage postmaster point
ed out that the new rural station
will not curtail existing postal
service to the area on RFD Route
3, Carthage. Many residents will
continue to receive their mail at
their RFD boxes on this route,
he said. Other residents maintain
post office boxes in Southern
Pines. Therefore, he said, corre
spondents need not change ad
dresses for Whispering Pines resi
dents unless informed by indiv
iduals that the adresses should be
changed.

service.
In Pinehurst, the Lions Club is
sending out notices of the blood
collection to all families in the
Pinehurst school district and no
tices will also be taken home by
school children, in an effort to
make the collection there a suc
cess.
(Editorial and letter about the
blood program on page 2.)
He was placed in Moore Coun
ty jail to await grand jury action.
Grimm said Cobb has a clean
record up till now. In Southern
Pines, police said that Bennett
has a record of several court con
victions.
Magazine Subscriptions
Taken By Girl Scouts
Girl Scout Troop 82 is taking
new and renewal magazine sub
scriptions, at special rates, as a
troop fund-raising project.
Interested persons are asked to
call Mrs. W. T. Huntley, Jr., 692-
7462. Subscriptions for Christmas
gifts should be entered at once, it
was stated.
The county commissioners,
meeting in Carthage Monday,
looked with favor on a plea by
Southern Pines officials that the
county share in the cost of operat
ing the town’s “sanitary landfill”
garbage and trash disposal area.
They also asked County Sani
tarian Floyd Dunn to investigate
and report on ways to solve the
rural trash disposal problem in
other areas of the county.
Appearing before the board to
bring the subject up were Mayor
W. Morris Johnson and Town
Manager F. F. Rainey, of South
ern Pines.
Rainey told the board that Sou
thern Pines has the only organiz
ed landfill disposal system in the
county and that “everybody
dumps in it—not only garbage,
but tree-trimmings, stumps and
all kinds of trash,” so that the
situation “has gotten out of hand
financially.” Some out-of-town
commercial garbage collectors are
dumping there at no charge, he
said.
He estimated that about 25 per
cent of the volume of work at
the landfill is due to dumping by
persons who don’t live inside the
town limits of Southern Pines.
Asked to suggest what he thought
the county should do, he suggest
ed a payment of about $5,000 per
year—this being about one-quar
ter of the estimated $20,000 an
nual cost of the town of running
the landfill operation which is
located on town property, off
Morganton Road, near the Nation
al Guard Armory.
In the commissioners’ formal
action, they voted to ask
Rainey to compile accurate cost
figures on the landfill’s operation
and the proportion of non-town
use it receives so that the board
“can work from there to find a
solution.”
Both Mayor Johnson and Man
ager Rainey emphasized that the
object is not to keep non-South
ern Pines people out of the land
fill, as that would only mean that
the trash would be dumped in the
woods somewhere along the roads.
‘We don’t want that and we
want to keep the area clean,”
Mayor Johnson said.
Rainey said that other officials
of other towns report that coun
ties have helped with landfill ex
penses when faced with a similar
situation.
Mr. Dunn recalled that he had
discussed rural garbage disposal
problems with the board some
time ago and that it is clear that
some kind of arrangements must
be made in other areas of the
county, as well as in the Southern
Pines area, where the problem is
most pressing, because of the
larger population.
’The discussion developed two
lines of thought—the possibility
of the county’s operating its own
system of dumps which would be
visited regularly by some one
employed by the county to bury
the garbage and! trash; and the
possibility of sharing the cost of
dump operation with other towns,
to encourage use of these dumps
by persons living in nearby areas.
Perhaps, it was suggested, some
areas without garbage disposal
systems, such as the unincorporat
ed West End community, would
set up systems if they knew they
could get some assistance from
the county.
The board asked Dunn to help
draw up a tentative county regu
lation that would take these

Driver Escapes
Serious Injury

returning from work when the
truck which he was driving skid-
ed and ran into trees on the cor
ner of the Aberdeen-Pinehurst
Road where it passes the plant of
the Taylor Chemical Company.

to skid. Severely bruised, he was
rushed to Moore Memorial Hospi

painful, wens found not serious

In these days of “clean” farm
ing, ditch banks are kept clean,
fence rows are open near areas
surrounding fields and woods are
cleared out. 'This is human prog

less food, less water, less cover
and less living space. It also
means less wildlife for the hunt
