CHRISTMAS PARCEL
WRAPPERS WORK AT
REMARKABLE SPEED
Village Chapel Group Carry Out
Annual Task of Preparing
Gifts for Distribution at Dr.
Cheatham’s Residence
About 30 Pinehurst residents,
young, middle-aged and older,
showed a veritable bee-hive of
industry at Juniper Cottage, the
residence of Dr. Epid Mrs. T. A.
Cheatham last night. Work be
gan around 8:00 o’clock and con
tinued for about two hours.
The occasion was the annual
filling of Christmas parcels with
nuts, candies and fruit, 1800 of
them. They will be distributed
in this vicinity among the white
and colored population. The gift
packages will be taken by “Chief
Santa Glaus” Dr. Cheatham and
Mrs. Ch'eatham in numbers pro
portionate to inhabitants, to the
Pinehurst High School, to Tay
lortown, Jackson Hamlet and
Eastwood, and left with four as
sistant Santa Clauses, as the gift
of the Village Chapel.
The volunteers, all with a char
itable interest, gathered around
the large dining room table of
the Cheatham household — to
work! Roderick Innes and little
Donnie Nelson acted as carriers,
bringing baskets of the nuts,
fruits and candies to the work
table from another room, as each
item was called for by the table
workers. Operating on a revolv
ing basis, at what could be term
ed almost a frantic pace, the pa
per bags were filled by boys,
girls, ladies and gentlemen stand
ing with just enough space be
tween them for elbow room. To
give an idea of the speed at which
the work progressed, Dr. Cheat
ham said that the workers filled
1200 an hour. The charity has

DINEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW
Gene Sarazen, on the return hop from an unprofitable jump
from his Connecticut farm to Miami, Fla., and return, stopped in at
Batch’s, a number one Inn on number one Highway yesterday, for
spaghetti, waffles and coffee and was not in a talkative mood. The
food was too good.
Gene required 294 strokes to complete the Miami open, an event
won by Sam Snead with 271. This placed Gene 21 strokes behind
the winner and outside the money circle.
For once Gene couldn’t think of a story with enough pep in it
to make the news service wires. The best he could do was make
a few cracks about having already balanced his 1939 budget before
the Miami tournament. Gene is one pro golfer who has been balanc
ing the~budget sxrccessfutty for years?' —-— -—
There are 60 Guernsey cows in the Sarazen herd in Connecticut.
They are producing enough milk and butter so that the farm is mak
ing a profit even if Gene’s Miami jaunt was a red episode in the
little Napoleon’s career.
Sarazen is a cagey young man. It would be just like him to have
60 cows in prize winning form justx^t the time when his golf game
is beginning to show wear and tear. Sarazen is the best business
man ip professional tournament golf. As a money maker and inves
tor he is out in front of Horton Smith.
Asked if he really thought his Ryder cup side could defeat the
regulars selected by the P. G. A., Gene agreed that his story was
for the purpose of getting some resort or golf club to “fix up an
other match with a large purse for the boys.”
Gene said he would be in Pinehurst for the North and South.
Taylortown Organizes
Chamber of Commerce
At a spirited meeting last
night in the Methodist Church
a newly bom organization got
underway in Taylortown.
Through the efforts of several of
its more civic minded residents
Taylortown is now blessed with
a ‘Chamber of Commerce.
The meeting held last night
was for the purpose of setting
up a temporary staff of officers
to get the 'organization started.
Raymond Caldwell was elected
temporary chairman. A nomin
ating committee was appointed
to select nominees for election at
the next meeting.
A delegation from Pinehurst
was present at the meeting and
each member was called on to
say a few words. The Pinehurst
visitors at the meeting were Mr.
E. S. Blodgett, Dr. Alice Pres
brey, Mr. H. S. Phillips, Rev. A.
J. McKelway, Mr. S. R. Ransdell,
and Mr. Leland McKeithen.
Turkey Slaughter
Trial is Continued
The trial of Clyde Phillips of
Glendon, N. C. which was to have
been held in Carthage on Mon
day has been continued ' until
Monday, January 1: Phillips was
arrested on December 11 on a
charge of shooting over the legal
limit of wild turkeys in one day,
and having used a repeating gun.
The arrest was made following
an investigation by State Game
Commissioner Fred Williams . of
Fayetteville, that turkey recent
ly released from the state farms
at Hoffman and Fayetteville,
were being killed. The birds had
been released under an agree
ment that they be unmolested by
hunters, for a year’s time.
Phillip’s trial was continued
due to the absence of a state wit
ness. The missing witness has
been subpoenaed in Greensboro
and the trial will be held in Re
corder’s court in Carthage two
weeks hence.
Holly Inn Plans Yule Specialties
The personnel of the Holly Inn,
who for the last several years
have led the way in Christmas
decorations in Pinehurst, are
again busily at work and are
promising that the results will\
justify all of the excess time and
trouble.
The Outlook’s reporter found
that early in the morning, all
afternoon, and late at night, the
*
\
members of the staff, from the
manager and -his wife, Mr. and
Mrs. G. E. Horne, down are di
vided into various groups with
their workshops in several of the
! rooms off the lobby, the back of
the dining room and some parts
! of the basement.
We were not able to discover
just what shape all of these, de

ARCHERS NIP GOLFERS
BY ONE SHOT IN TILT
REVIVING NOVEL SPORT
Archery-golf, a game so pop
ular at one time at Pinehurst
that nine holes of the then No.
5 course were used exclusively
for that purpose, made a come
back Sunday afternoon at the
Southern Pines Country Club
when a group of archers took on
a pair of golf pros in a five-hole
match.
Led by Carl Thompson, one
time Metropolitan and Eastern
Archery champion, M. V. Sand
erford, C. C. Stott, Robert Bat
tle and 0. N. Rich, the latter
four members of the Archers
Association of Raleigh, N. C.,
beat golfers Roy Grinnell and
Johnny Schoonmaker, by the
narrow margin of one up. Shot
of the afternoon was the “drive”
by Archer Thompson on the 315
yard 16th, when he carried the
green in one. The golfers played
the five holes in even par; the
archers, one under par.
Prior to the archery-golf event,
Archer Thompson gave an exhi
bition, featuring trick shots.

The Carolina moon, a small re

Stables greeted the arrival last;
night of 12 of Mr Earl Shaw’s;
polo ponies at the Pinehurst De
pot. The 12 ponies left White:
Plains, N. Y., on Wednesday*

pinelands after their six-day so
journ in a box car. They arrived
on the seven o’clock freight train
by way of Star, N. C.
.The shipment is one lot of a

schedule several polo matches

those held several years ago here,

in April. *
Last night’s equine arrivals
were unloaded at the station and
taken to the old Pinehurst Liv
ery Stable, where they will be
quartered for the season.
STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK, Dec. 18— (A*) —
Wheat futures bounded up to*
new 2-year highs today but the:
Stock Market apparently was.
unimpressed.
Leading issues milled over a
fractionally irregular, route after
an early attempt at a rally failed;
to carry through.
While a number df specialties/
managed to cling to plus signs
of as much as a point or so dur
ing the greater part of the ses
sion, numerous stocks were un
changed , or down sizable frac
tions at the close.
The ticker tape took frequent
naps and transfers for the five
hours were around 700,000
shares.
