(Pilot photo) MRS. WINTHROP ROCKEFELLER SPEAKS Fund-Raising For Scholarships In Mental Health Field Promoted Here Mayor Norris L. Hodgkins, Jr. of Southern Pines presented Mrs. Winthrop Rockefeller with a golden golf putter engraved with her initials, as an appropriate memento of her visit to the Sand hills, Tuesday night at a dinner at Whispering Pines House Restaurant. Mrs. Rockefeller, who was the principal speaker at the event sponsored by the Moore County Mental Health Association, flew to Raleigh earlier in the day from Arkansas to meet with the Wake County Mental Health Associa tion to assist with their planning of “Bell Ringer Balls.” She is vice president of the Na tional Mental Health Association and honorary chairman of the Balls, the first of which was giv en last New Year’s Eve in Grand Central Station. From Raleigh, Mrs. Rockefell er and several members of the State Special Events committee, flew to the Pinehurst-Southern EUROPEAN TOUR Supt. Lee Back From Visits To Schools Abroad and these events, she pointed out, involve many prominent people working for mental health and call more attention to mental health than a lecture could. Dr. McCain brought greetings , from the State Mental Health As- Dobbs sociation. Dr. Charles Phillips spoke briefly on the work of the Moore Mental Health Clinic in Pinehurst and Dr. Harvey Horne, psychiatrist at the Clinic, told those present of plans the high school and college-age young people have for their New Year’s Eve Ball in the Sandhills. ’There will also be one of the dances held for adults in this area—both events as part of the national fund-raising program. Mrs. Rockefeller’s husband, one of the sons of the late John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and a broth er of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York who was a candidate for the Presidential nomination, was unable to make the trip to North Carolina, as it had been Moore County Schools Supt. Robert E. Lee of Carthage saw schools open across Europe, on a three weeks’ “People to Peo ple”' tour from which he return ed home Monday. The trip, with 14 North Caro lina business and professional men taking part, was similar to other good will and study tours made from this state. After holding the organization al meeting of his principals, Lee departed August 22, leaving the actual opening of the Moore schools to Assistant Supt. C. E. Powers and the schools’ staff. The county system includes all schools except those in the sepa rate Southern Pines and Pine hurst units. In Brussels, first city on the tour, he saw school buildings, with no one in them yet. In Copenhagen, he found teachers on the job, preparing for classes soon to begin. In Stockholm, he was in on the first day of school. In Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev, the three largest cities of the Soviet Union classes were getting under way, and last week, in Prague and East Berlin, the summer vacation was fading to a memory just as it was at home. The holidays, though, are somewhat different there. July, August and January are the va cation months. In such details as these, and in fact in most mat ters, he found the schools of the six countries he visited surpris ingly alike. ■The only schoolman in the Tar Heel group making the trip, Lee asked at each stop to visit schools, and, most of the time, it was arranged. Young women guides, acting as interpreters, made conversation possible, and Lee, asking questions of school people there, found himself ask ed many in return. A detailed report on his trip, with special emphasis on Russian schools, will appear in next week’s Pilot. ADVISORY POST McKay Elected Vice President, Carolina Bank L. B. Creath, executive vice president of the Carolina Bank, announced this week that the board of directors has elected Neill E. McKay of Southern Pines a vice president.

RICHARDSON (Continued from page 1) over the program, noted that the actual birthday won’t be till Thursday, September 24, but it was used as an opportunity for the congregation to pay tribute to their senior member. Mr. Richardson, straight-shoul dered and bright- eyed—^was honored as a builder of the Town and the church. An unusual birth day gift was presented to him by the pastor, the Rev. John D. Stone, to be kept at the church and used by and for its members and teachers—“The Interpreter’s Bible” in, 12 volumes, termed “Christendom’s most comprehen sive commentary.” Said Mr. Sana, “This is the best birthday present I ever had in my whole life.” Given to him and his wife, Es ther, to take home was the hand some decorated birthday cake which adorned the buffet table. Further details of the occasion will be reported in next week’s Pilot. portable fire extinguishers were directed at the fire and the threatened ceiling by Shag Mat tocks and Jerry Lambert of the composing room staff, who with stood intense heat in the process. Their work helped to preyent the tower of flame from eating through the ceiling but did not control the blaze. The contents of both extinguishers were soon exhausted. On their arrival, the volunteer firemen brought the flames un der control with a special powder compound used to smoth er such fires and, with a long- handled hook, dragged the entire cabinet out of the building, where the extinguishing job was completed. Two closed drawers of the fil ing cabinet, above the open drawer whose contents caught fire, contained The Pilot’s entire “morgue” of thousands of clip pings in marked envelopes, but the upper drawers had remained shut and almost all of this ma terial, though scorched on the outer edges of some of the en velopes, was unharmed. A nearby desk and wooden filing cabinet were scorched and charred from the blaze, but an other nearby small metal filing cabinet containing one-column wide plastic engravings of indiv idual persons remained unharmed. The engravings which burned included many pictures of scenes, buildings, groups of people, mem orable events and other subjects. Many metal engravings, mostly dating from more than 10 or 15 years ago, when the use of plas tic engravings was begun by The Pilot, but some also from recent years, were filed separately in another part of the building and were unharmed.

KEEP UP WITH LATE VALUES IN PILOT ADS MUSICAL CULTURE To the 18th century wilder ness of North Carolina, the Mor avians who settled Salem (now Old Salem in Winston- Salein) and the surrounding area brought an esthetic culture unequaled in the 18th century South. Especially was this true about their music for Moravian composers were the first real composers to work on American soil.
