The Pinehurst Gun Club,
which had been undergoing a
complete modernization, burned
to the ground Thursday liight of

The clubhouse modernization
was half completed when the
fire struck. Lightning has been
given as the probable cause for
the fire which occurred.during a
severe .thunder storm.
Korman A. Amstutz of South
ern Pines, noted Ohio trap and
skeet shooter who has a 10-year
lease on the club, announced that
work on a new fireproof club
house would begin at once. The
new structure will be similar to
the original.
Fortunately, the trap fields
were not damaged and the Mid
summer Skeet Shoot will be held
as scheduled on July 25 and 26.
Tents will be set up for partic
ipants and spectators.
Albert Tufts, president of Pine
hurst, Inc., said after the fire
that Pinehurst, Inc., owned the
basic structure that burned but
that the improvements were be
ing made at the expense of Mr.
Amstutz. Both portions of the
loss were covered by insurance,
Mr. Tufts said.

Regional Export Expansion Coun
cil.
Joel B. New, director of the

executiye secretary tp the Greens
boro Regional Export Expans

appointment. The Council ser
ves all of North Carolina .and its

The Export Council meets re
gularly throughout the State, de
veloping programs to encourage
export sales by North Carolina
firms. The 21 business leaders
have sponsored 30 export con
ferences and state-wide work
shops. From their activity, 37

tered export markets in 1963,
H. Banks Newman of Winston-
Salem serves as Council chair
man. The most recent meeting of
the Council was held in Pisgah

a 20-day period /equired by law.
Among critical matters to be
decided and provided for will be
the new medical care program
for the Welfare Department. Mrs.
W. B: Cole, county superinten
dent of welfare, is scheduled to
appear before the commissioners
on behalf of the new program
and the need for extra help in
the departmqnt in its administra
tion.
Said Mrs. Cole: “We now have
all the information on this mat
ter, some of which was lacking
until now. We have the complete
schedule and also the application
forms and people have been com
ing in to apply. The new system
went into effect July 1,” Mrs.
Cole said, “and payments will be
retroactive. We hope, of course,
to get the green light at Monday’s
meeting.”
Mrs. Cole explained that every
county of the 100 in the state is
required by law to assume this
responsibility — “the county’s
■share, one sixth of the total cost,
has to be budgeted.” The super
intendent added that she didn’t
see how the present staff could
possibly handle the great in
crease in paper-work this would
involve due to the many more
people to be served by this new
program. She was hoping greatly
tha't the commissioners would
OK and budget employment of
another worker.

Little League AlUStars Leave For Playoffs
BY JIMMY BALDWIN
The Southern Pines Little Lea
gue All Stars left for Tarboro
this morning where they will
watch the Robe, ioneille -Tarboro
game. They will work out on the
Tarboro field following this game
and meet the winner Friday
afternoon.
If the Southern Pines team wins
Friday, the boys will spend a
second night at a motel in Tar
boro and play there again Satur
day afternoon. This playoff is to
determine the area championship,
with the district and state play
offs scheduled for the following
two weeks.
Joel Stutts, manager of the
team, said this week: “We feel
that the team has an excellent
chance to go a long way in the
playoffs, providing some of the
boys continue to improve in their
hitting. We also think we have
two of the finest Little League
pitchers in the state in Fred Hol
lister and Clyde Mangum.”
Three Hoke County men were
arrested Monday in the week-
long investigation of the theft of
150 gallons of MH-30, sucker con
trol spray for tobacco, from the
Olin-Mathieson Chemical Corp.
plant at Aberdeen.
Eighty-five gallons of the pop
ular and expensive spray in one-
gallon and five-gallon cans, with
a retail value of $17.50 per gal
lon, were recovered, according to
Chief Moore County Deputy H. H.
Grimm, conducting the investi
gation with assistance of Hoke
County Sheriff Dave Barrington
and SBI Agent Gary Griffith.
Placed under $5,000 bond each
for their appearance next Mon
day in Moore Recorder’s Court
were James Jones and Joe Scott,
both white men. both about 40,
operating farms three or four
miles apart near the Dundarrach
community. They are charged
with breaking and entering, lar
ceny and receiving.
Charged with receiving, and
making a lesser bond, was Nick
Hunt, Indian, of Red Springs
RFD, in the Antioch section of
Hoke.
All denied any knowledge of
the theft, Grimm said. Jones
even insisted he had no idea how
10 gallons of the MH-30 happen
ed to be in his car, or 66 gallons
in the curing pit of a packhouse
on a farm leased by him in the
Rockfish community.
Three gallons were found in
the possession of Hunt, while six
were located on another farm in
Robeson county, said Grimm,
who added that further arrests
might be made.
None of the arrested men has
a criminal record.
The MH-30, of a total retail
value of $2,625, was stolen Mon
day night, July 13, from the
Olin - Mathieson Manufacturing
plant a half-mile east of Aber
deen on NC 211, the Raeford
Road. Entry was made by forcing
open a loading door on the high
way side of the building.
That same night, the Taylor
Chemical Co. of Aberdeeen which
manufactures MH-30, was also
broken into but there happened
to be none of that particular
chemical on hand at the time and
nothing was taken.
MH-30 is in strong demand
just now as priming time ap
proaches on Sandhills tobacco
farms.
At 6 a. m. Tuesday, the day
after the theft, Jones and Scott
were reportedly peddling it for
$10 a gallon, Grimm said.
