Thomas Woodrow Wilson, an unemployed father of five, suited his action to his name Saturday when he returned a pocketbook he found with all the money and prized possessions t. still intact. The loser was Mrs. Lewis Upchurch, who upon leaving for work in Southern Pines F riday morning laid her purse on top i of the car while she unlocked the door. Driving off without removing the pocketbook, she lost it as she turned into Main Street from her driveway. Mrs. Helen Allen, also of North Main, saw the article fall. She tried to catch Mrs. Up church but failed. Noticing that a car behind her stopped and picked it up, Mrs. Allen went to the police station to make a report. Chief L. W. Stanton advised Mrs. Upchurch to advertise the loss on the radio and newspaper. Wilson heard the announcement on the noon broadcast Saturday and by 2 p. m. Mrs. .Upchurch again had her lost valuables. Contained in the purse were a goodly amount of cash, three valuable rings, driver’s li cense. social security card and other important papers. Woodrow Wilson’s namesake was well rewarded by Mrs. Up church, Chief Stanton said. Mrs. Upchurch was in Southern Pines before she realized her loss. • Town Tries New Sewage • Facilitji. Sewage was turned through Raeford’s new disposal plant tor the first time Tuesday morning and from now on all waste turned into Rockflsh Creek will be 85 per cent pure. The new plant cost $2,500 more than the original contract figure of $488,500. Town Manager Ed Williams said in stallation of a steel fence, needed for safety purposes, ran the figure to $491,000. He said the fence must be kept locked at all times since some of the large open tanks are dangerous ly near ground level. To raise funds to pay for the project, bonds were sold for $315,000, the government came In with $144,000 and the town paid the balance from surplus funds. Williams said contractors have not turned the completed Job over to the town. The out fit will be operated on a trial basis for at least a month while A adjustments are made and laboratory equipment is set. The plant is one mile out of town just off the old F ayettevllle road where sewage previously , was dumped into the creek. While the waste water will not be pure when it enters the stream It will be as free of pollution as any ordinary creek water, Williams said.
