(Photo fourtesy Moore County News) Six High School Seniors Chosen For Nurse Scholarships Six Moore County high school seniors have been awarded nurse training scholarships by the Sandhill Veterans Association, it was announced this week by W. Ward Hill, president, of Southern Pines. The awards will be made at their high school commencements to the six young ladies, chosen for their excellent records, fine qual ities and aptitude for the nursing profession. The six, with the nurse training schools by which they have al ready been accepted, are: Cherry Robinson, Elise High School, Robbins, Gaston Memorial Hospital, Gastonia; Ann McKen zie, Pinehurst, Charlotte Memori al Hospital; Glenda Edmunds, al so of Pinehurst, Hamlet Hospital; Sandra Foshee of Southern Pines, Baptist Hospital, Winston-Salem; Brenda Marshall and Peggy Snipes, both of Southern Pines High School, Southeastern Gener al Hospital at Lumberton. This was the largest number of scholarships to be awarded in any one year in the 17-year history of the SVA project. It was made possible through a fine response to the annual campaign of the as sociation, plus last year’s funds held over as there were no quali fied candidates for the awards; Rules were changed to permit the winners to select their own nurse training schools, so long as they chose fully accredited insti tutions rather than all going to the High Point Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. That school had placed a limit of two on the number of scholarship winners it would take from Moore County, 1 completing their second year. which occasioned a change SVA policy. As in previous years, the schol arship winners pledge to return to Moore County to practice their profession following graduation, for a period of at least 18 months in a hospital, a clinic, a nursing home, a doctor’s office or other position requiring the R.N. de gree. The six new scholarships bring the total to 35 awarded over the years by the SVA, an indepen dent organization of World War II veterans. Four Moore County girls are currently in training at High Point Memorial. One, Barbara Jo Chriscoe, will graduate this year, while Carolyn Seawell, Lynda McNair and Louise Chappell are AT ‘LOST CITY* Woman Held For Murder In Death Of Husband, 28 A 22-year-old woman who fired a 12-gauge shotgun point- blank at her husband from a distance of about eight feet Sat urday afternoon is in Moore County jail at Carthage, charged with his murder. Chief Deputy Sheriff H. H. Grimm, who investigated the slaying at “Lost City,” small com munity on the outskirts of Wesx Southern Pines, said that Reba Ann Williams told him she didn’t mean to do it. But Grimm quoted witnesses as saying she loaded up the shotgun in a bedroom, came to the porch where her husband, Eli Williams, 28, was sitting in a chair, shoved aside her sister Beulah Daniels of Vass, who was standing in the doorway, pointed the gun at Eli and fired. Williams fell dead with a gap ing hole in the front of his shoulder, close to his neck. The coroner was not called, Grimm said, “since there were witnesses and no doubt at all as to what had happened.” A witness in ad dition to Beulah Daniels, who was visiting, was Robert Douglas, an elderly man who owns the house where the Williams were staying, and who was lying on a cot on the pprch close to the chair in which Williams sat. It was Douglas’s gun Reba Ann had seized and loaded inside the house, Grimin said. She told the officer her husband had been quarreling and “beating on” her. She renacted the shooting for the deputy; weeping and declaring She reenacted the shooting for the band.

Boyette, of Carthage, who is Moore County manager for the gubernatorial campaign of Richardson Preyer, issued the following statement this week, urging support for Preyer in Saturday’s primary: “Richardson Preyer has a tre mendous background of partici pation in law, business, religious, military, industrial and civic af fairs and he is his own indepen dent man, interested in being Governor for service rather than for any personal advancement. “Judge Preyer is mature enough to be stable in his views, but young enough to have the force and adaptability and imagi nation to serve all North Car olinians in the fine tradition we expect of our public servants. “In the last democratic pri mary for Governor in 1960, there were 4,881 votes cast in Moore County. In view of the additional registered voters and unusual in terest in behalf of local and state candidates, it is estimated that the democratic vote will run around 6,000 in the 1964 primary. “The loyal and enthusiastic support of Richardson Preyer has been very gratifying. It is sincere ly believed that Moore County will give Judge Preyer a good majority in the primary on May 30.” Nearly IV2 million persons are patients in hospitals on any given day.

Smith, a State College student returning home at the close of his junior year, said a truck ahead of him made a right turn and, when it cleared the highway, and he drove on past, he saw the wo man in front of his car too late to avoid her. Wicker said the accident vic tim, Mrs. Susie McLaughlin, 85, was crossing the highway about 5:30 p.m. in front of her home about four miles north of Carth age to the home of a neighbor, Mrs. Cornelia Dowdy. Mrs. Dow dy saw her coming and was screaming to her to go back when she was hit. Mrs. McLaughlin lived with a relative, Dan Dowdy. He and oth ers of her family said they had no blame for young Smith, Wick er said. They told the trooper they had repeatedly warned her about the highway, but she ig nored their warnings. She had been hit “four or five times,” ac cording to the trooper, but with only minor injuries resulting, un til this time.
