Occupants of the second car, driven by Mrs. George Sturch, wife of the church pastor, helped as best they could until the State Highway Patrol arrived and got them all to the hospital. As soon as she could get to a phone, Mrs. Sturch called her husband and soon members of the injured persons’ families v/ere on their way to Whiteville. Parents of all the children drove down, and Mr. Butler brought his wife and daughter home. Mr. Tribble, who fcame in that night from Pittsburgh, Pa., went immediately to his wife’s side. She is expected to remain in the hospital until Friday. The others were all judged well enough to continue on to Southport, and Susan Yow, to be released on Wednesday, is ex pected to join them there.

Roddey, club tennis manager. Other events will, as usual, be .held on the Southern Pines mu nicipal courts. Both tournaments will be held in cooperation with the town summer recreation program, and John McMillan, program assist ant and tennis coach, will be the director. Norris L. Hodgkins, Jr., will be tournament manager for the Association as in years past. Invitations and entry blanks for both tournaments were mail ed out the last of June, Chairman Hodgkins told the group meeting Monday night. Presiding was Dick Kobleur, who has been elevated from vice- president to president since Ray McNally, elected president last May, has moved out of the State. Dance Planned Decision was made to hold the annual Tennis Dance, put on by the Southern Pines and Pinehurst tennis enthusiasts, on the SatuT' day night of the Sandhill Invita tional, so the visiting players may attend if they wish. In the past two years, it has been held in June. Plans will be announced as soon as the two groups can make cooperative arrangements. With $1,500 budgeted by the Town this year toward hardsur- facing one of the municipal courts, a project which will cost approximately $3,000, the mem bers decided to ask contributions in their membership drive letters this year. The letters, which the association counts on annually for a return to help pay tourna ment expenses, will be going out soon. Since the Town has assum ed one of the main annual eX' penses in providing the tourna ment trophies this year, it is an ticipated that a good sum may come in to be earmarked for the hardsurfacing. What Surface? Mayor Hodgkins, who was des ignated last spring to get facts and figures on hardsurfacing, spoke on differences between the asphalt-base and concrete sur faces, both of which have their proponents. No decision has been made yet as to which will be used here, if and when the money is forthcoming. Advan tages of the hardsurfacing are de creased cost of maintenance, a big burden with the sandclay courts, and the availability of the courts for year-round use. Town Manager F. F. Rainey attending the meeting, tendered the use of the mxmicipal court room as official and social head quarters for the tournaments, an offer which was gladly accepted, PROCTOR-SILEX (Continued from Page 1) were Richard B. Tucker, plant manager; Ed Benkowski, plant administrator; and J. W. Alex ander, Jr., attorney of the Char lotte legal firm, Alexander and Machen. The hearing revealed that working at the local plant are “more than 200” machine opera-' tors, “about 200” assemblers, and material handlers, repairmen, de flashers, janitors, maintenance men, tool and die workers, die setters, packers and storekeepers. Also employed are foremen, “lead men” and inspectors, as well as administrative, super visory, office and clerical person nel. TTie hearing was apparently designed to establish all job categories within the plant, with detailed description of the duties entailed by certain jobs, so as to determine exactly the boundaries between supervisory and non- supervisory personnel. Mr. Tucker, Proctor-Silex plant manager since the plant was es tablished here, was the only wit ness called, remaining in the chair for the full two-hour hearing. Most of the questions were asked by the hearing officer, some by the respondent’s counsel, and others by Hooks, many with the character of cross-examination. Taking of the testimony, which was transcribed by a reporter, was informal and both sides in terpolated explanations or other expressions. On Hooks’s pEirt these several times took the form of disagreement or disbelief. ■While there was agreement in most cases, several areas of sharp disagreement were evident, the chief one being the part played by the “lead men.” de scribed by Tucker as non-super- visory personnel assisting^ the foremen. Hooks made plain his view (“I know it but can’t prove it”) that the lead men have con siderably more influence, proba bly putting them in the “super visory” field and' therefore in eligible for union membership. There was similar disagreement over a job classified as “quality control inspector,” an inspector who. Tucker said, had the same status as the other inspectors, with no greater authority, but is answerable directly to the quali ty control manager. Sharp difference was indicated also in the matter of “guards,” listed by Hooks as prospects for union membership, except that. Tucker said, the company had no guards. It has a contract for uni formed guard service with an Atlanta company, he said, and' none of the guards on duty at the plant were on the Proctor- Silex payroll. No one else. Tuck er maintained has the duty of guarding company property “ex cept that everyone there, includ ing myself, is supposed to watch over it.” “Whether he admits it or not, I know there are people there as guards, who phone Mr. Tucker directly,” Hooks insisted. Indirectly, through questions. Hooks made reference also to the alleged firing of two persons, one by Tucker and one by Benkowski, but these matters were not further developed'. Tucker was asked to give the names of employees in various categories, such as firemen, in spectors, janitors, etc., which he did in part, saying he could not remember completely without the company records. Hooks’s questions as to wages or salaries were stopped by Car- roll, who reminded him that no payroll figures could be demand' ed and compensation could be established only by comparison or percentage. What use will be made of the information taken and transcrib ed at the hearing was not indi cated. Budd Elected As Board Chairman The board of trustees of the Lee County Industrial Education Center at Sanford, at their board meeting last week elected Stacy Budd. chairman of the board.
