Page EIGHT THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina I.Y, JANUARY 2, 1964 No Whiskey, But Gamblers, Found Iii Six men of the Robbins-High- I days each suspended on payment falls area pleaded guilty to charges of gambling, with cards Monday in Moore recorders court, at Carthage, following their arrest Saturday evening, December 14, in the course of an ABC raid. Chief Moore County Law En forcement Officer C. A. McCal- lum testified that the raid was made at the house of Clyde Crab tree, near Robbins, on “informa tion and belief” that there were both whiskey and gambling at the house. No whiskey was found, but the six men apprehended at a gambling table were arrested, and the “kitty” of $78.70 was seized. Prayer for judgement was con tinued by Judge J. Vance Rowe for all six, Donald Upchurch, Raeford Jessup, John Nicodemus, Gerald Hill, G. W. Purvis and William Garner, on payment of costs—and the costs ran high. Be cause of the presence of two ABC officers, four deputy sheriffs and one constable, the fees (to be turned into the county’s general fund) totalled $138.50. This was in addition to the $78.70, which the judge ordered to go to the school fund. Three youths of the Robbins- West End area drew sentences for breaking, entering and lar ceny of business places at or near West End, which two of them ap pealed. Probable cause was found against William Robert Puckett, 23, of West End Route 1 and Johnny Garrison, 17, of West End for the break-in of Martin’s Store with intent to commit a felony, and larceny of guns and other items valued at $300. Both were bound over to superior court. Puckett and Franklin Kennedy, 24, of Robbins, then pleaded not guilty and Garrison pleaded guil ty, of the break-in of John, A. Frye’s store, and larceny of valued at about $125. All di^^ six months, preferably at a first offenders’ camp. Puckett and Garrison appealed and bond was set at $300 each. Puckett and Garrison drew similar, and concurrent, senten ces for the break-in and larceny of about $65 worth of goods from the Underpass Service Station, and again Puckett appealed and another bond was set at $300. A third six-month sentence, concurrent with the other two, was then handed young Garrison on his pleading guilty to the break-in of Smith’s Shell station, with larceny of $20 worth of goods. A 14-year-old juvenile invol ved in some of the cases has been turned over to juvenile authori ties, and is temporarily housed in Moore County jail, by the judge’s order, for lack of a better place pending disposition of the case. No court session was held Mon day, December 23, because of sleet and ice on that day. Other cases disposed of at this week’s session were; Allen Thomas, Pinehurst, as sault and battery on female, 90 days suspended on payment of $50 and costs and medical expen ses of the victim, also on good be havior conditions for 12 months; Thomas Harold Blue, Jr., Eagle Springs, exceeding safe speed, accident, personal inujry, $10 and costs; Bobby O’Neal Moore, Rob bins Route 1, speeding 65 in 55- mile zone, $10 and costs; David Edward Criscoe, Seagrove, Route 2, speeding 70 in 55-mile zone, $15 and costs; Franklin Carl Hussey, Jr., Robbins Route 1, careless and reckless driving, accident, per sonal injury, $25 and costs; R.

Lament Brown Attorney J2,9,16,23c TWO KILLED (Continued from Page 1) surgery for facial lacerations and other hurts. State Trooper j! F. Cardwell investigated the accident which occurred at 3:15 pi. m. within sight of the Lee County line. He was assisted by two Lee County troopers in handling the holiday traffic which soon thick ened up at the scene. At an inquest held by Moore Coroner W. K. Carpenter Satur day night at the Southern Pines police station, the jury found Mrs. Lytle negligent, causing the accident and deaths, and ordered that she be held for grand jury action at the January term of criminal court. She made bond set by Carpenter at $750. Jurymen were Earl G. Har bour, Lewis H. Marion, Hubert Nickens and J. C. Simpson, all of Cameron, and Bryan Poe and C. A. McLaughlin, both of Southern Pines. Mrs. Lytle, a tiny dark-haired girl, was not called to the stand, as Trooper Cardwell gave her statement made to him, which, he he said, was substantiated by her sister’s. ' . She stated she was turning her 1963 Ford two-door toWard Lytle’s store and service station, owned by her husband’s parents, near which is their dwelling where she and her husband Jimmy live. She said her attention was dis tracted by a child riding a bicycle on the edge of the highway, as she feared he would ride direct ly into her path. She slowed to avoid this and failed to see the Pruitt car until it struck hers in the right hand side. Cardwell said the Valiant’s brake marks showed for 66 feet before the crash, which spun both vehicles around in the highway. There were no signs of high speed or mechanical failure on the part of either, he stated. Philip Pruitt testified that he did not know what happened as he had been on the back seat, holding and playing with his baby, not watching the road. The jury reached its verdict despite his plea thkt nb criminal action be taken, as he'said, “My wife and her sister and I talked it over and decided we wouldn’t press charges. If we can be reim bursed for the cost, that is all we want.” When the verdict was announced, he asked if it meant the State would take action. On learning it did, he pleaded, “Is there nothing we can do to pre vent it?” His father-in-law, Willie John McLeod of Broadway, rose to support his appeal, but they found there was' hothing they could do. W. D. Sabiston, Carthage at torney appearing for Mrs. Lytle, admitted his client’s negligence but urged that it was of the civil, not criminal, variety. Later, Philip Pruitt said that he and his family belong to a denomination, the General Assem bly and Church of the Firstborn, that “doesn’t hold with going into court.” Bodies of the two victims were flown Saturday to Oklahoma for burial at Cushing Tuesd'ay after noon. Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Pruitt and her father left for Oklahoma. Mrs. Bobby Pruitt is expected to leave the hospital some time this week, and with her young son will stay for a while with her mother, then later, they too, will go to Okla homa. NEW YEARS EVE (Continued from Page 1) crossing about 9 p. m. and could go no farther. The boys’ feet slid out from under them when they tried to push the car from the track, and three left to make it as best they could to a service station for help, leaving one on guard. He waved a flashlight when the Seaboard’s Silver Star jame bearing down but the en gineer did not see the feeble light and the unoccupied car, owned by Airman Paul D. Hick man, a Pennsylvanian, was de molished. Southern Pines police investi gated this and various other ac cidents, but reported none re sulting in personal injury. Many New Years Eve parties 'had to be called off. A former Southern Pines woman, Mrs. Ollie Mae Fields, became a fatality of the ice in Chatham county when her car skidded on a slick highway bridge and crashed head-on into another. The Midland Road was the scene of a near-pile up of cars as one after another skidded around and was forced to come to a stop, -hough they managed to avoid crashing into each other. The freezing mist, borne on a bitter wind, continued through the evening, but ceased in the night, temperatures rose, and the ice vanished, to give the Sandhills a fine, if cloudy. New Years Day. Thursday, on which youngsters returned to school and holiday makers settled back into the rou tine of work and study, turned out a beautiful sunny day with even a hint of spring in the air. Ice Before Christinas This was the second day of icy danger during the holiday season, and all the State Highway Patrol men had their problems at one time or another. Half were on duty at all times, while the others had either Christmas or New Years at home. The Monday before Christmas, cold pouring rain turned to sleet and ice during the day, to cause endless accidents and snarl the thick holiday traffic. A heavy glaze covered everything, though as the rain continued it turned to slush on the streets and high ways. The next day—Christmas Eve—pale sunlight created a dia mond world. The sparkling gems on every twig, hedge and pine needle were soon melted, and Christmas itself was a fine, fair day. Again, this area was lucky in that no serious accidents were oc casioned by the ice—the last two fatalities of the year arising from a wreck December 26 when it was all gone. ONE HURT (Continued from Page 1) car driven by his brother, Thomas Steele, 20, also of Jackson Springs Rt. 1, went out of con trol on the winding road ap proaching the village from West End. Cardwell said the 1963 Ford two-door sedan, apparently being driven at excessive speed, went off the road on the right, swerv ed back to the left and overturn ed on the left shoulder. Some how in the overturning the right side of the car, on which Ralph Steele was sitting, received a “terrific impact,” according to the trooper, which injured Ralph while leaving his brother unhurt. No charges were made immedi ately pending further' investiga tion, and also pending the con dition of Ralph Steele. He is an employee of the Kar- agheusian plant at Aberdeen, while Thomas Steele is employed by tljp Pacific Mills plant at Rae- fon COLLEGE SITE (Continued from page 1) Ewing, members of the site com mittee of the board of trustees C. H. Bowman, as notary public, and Vance Derby, attorney, who drew up the deed. The site adjoins the Meyer estate, fronting on the Airport Road, a half mile from the Pine hurst traffic circle and' about two miles from Southern Pines. The trustees met again three days later, to choose Dr. Raymond A. Stone as president, and to get important projects going under two new subcommittees. Appointed by Blue to work with the new president on the projects were the following: Subcommittee on Architecture, Building and Grounds— J. E Causey, chairman; Dr. A. A. Van ore. Dr. Charles Highsmith, John M. Taylor, Robert S. Ewing. Subcommittee for Faculty and Personnel— Dr. W. E. Alexander, chairman; J. C. Robbins, Paul Dickson, Tom Hunter, L. L, Marion, N. L. Hodgkins. MRS. FIELDS (Continued from Page 1) way to her old home in Moore county to visit her mother, Mrs Lula Frye Muse, of Carthage Star Route. 'The acident occurred on US Highway 1 at the Haw River Bridge, 14 miles north of San ford, when Mrs. Fields’ car skid ded on the ice and collided head- on with a northbound car at 3:10 p.m. Mrs. Field's was rushed to Mathieson Clinic in Pittsboro, but was pronounced dead on arrival. Occupants of the other car were taken to N. C. Memorial hospital at Chapel Hill. Mrs. Fields, who was the wife of the late Leon Fields of South ern Pines, lived here for many years and was employed by the telephone company. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Car thage Presbyterian church, con ducted by Rev. B. E. Dotson, pastor, and Rev. W. S. Golden, pastor emeritus. Burial was the church cemetery. Mrs. Fields’ mother is her only immediate survivor. Part of America’s real strength is the confidence that we can and and will take care of ourselves. And that’s where U. S. Savings Bonds come in—they help in strengthening both family and national financing! DR. STONE (Continued from Page 1) Southern states, not only worked closely with State Board of Edu cation i)ersonnel, the School Study committee and the Governor’s Commission for Education Be yond the High School in planning the comprehensive community college program, but helped shape it into law, with coopera tion of the Institute of Govern ment. The statute he helped draw up was the one passed by the General Assembly last spring, es tablishing the program, under which the Moore unit was the first to be allocated. He also worked specifically with Moore leaders in their step- by-step plans. 'With Dr. I. E. Ready and State Board Chairman Dallas Herring, he spoke at the initial enthusiastic county meet ing which filled the courtroom last March 26, and has frequently conferred with county school leaders since that time. A native of Louisburg, he won his bachelor’s degree in history and government from 'Wake For est college in 1950, following his r-sturn from Naval service in ■World War 2; then won his mas ter’s degree and his doctorate in education at the University of North Carolina. He taught in Wallace and serv ed in administrative capacities in schools of Charlotte and Wilson, taught in the social studies de partment at Atlantic Christian college, then went to Raleigh in 1960 as secretary of the N. C. Citizens Committee for Better Schools. In 1961, he became as sistant to* Dr. Ready, director of the State Department of Curriu- lum Studies, and last July, when Dr. Ready also became director of the new State Department of Community Colleges, continued as assistant in that department. The two departments work close ly together and are considered to be merged. He was the organizer for Gov ernor Sanford’s educational tours of the winter and spring of 1962 which took the Governor into 70 counties, including Moore, to speak at nearly 300 schools in the interest of “quality education.” "GRANNY"L (Continued fro^f 1) several great - g. randchil- dren, along with in-laws. f Nearly all of thit ^ere there on Simday.
