a crystal panorama of wondrous

Pinehurst and Southern Pines,

everything was bedecked in a

The noble pines in many cases

LAWSON LITTLE
ROOSEVELT SPEECH
VIEWED AS POSSIBLE
THIRD TERM BUILDUP
New Deal Achievements Cited by
Executive at Jackson Day Ban
quet in Washington as For
ward Steps by Nation
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 8
—President Roosevelt at the
Jackson Day banquet at the May
flower Hotel in Washington last
night delivered an address which
might easily be considered as a
splendid “build - up” for Mr.
Roosevelt, in the event it is his
plan to go to the post in the
Presidential race for the third
time.
After pointing out that the
great men in the history of Am
erican governmental administra
tion had placed “country before
party,” and after advising the
Democrats that they could not
succed in 1940 without support
from Independent voters, the
President enumerated what he
considered good deeds the New
Deal had done for the nation.
He maintained that the posi
tion of farmer and laborer had
been bettered; that gamblers and
speculators were no longer con
sidered as leading citizens; that
security, which formerly had been
for the rich, was now being made
available to the poor; that nat
ural resources were being con
served for following generations;
that untold numbers of improve
ments affecting all the people
had been made, and that millions
had been kept out of the bread
line.
The president in concluding this
eulogy, said it was his belief that
those citizens who did not want
to be greedy or selfish would
agree that the present adminis
tration was at least moving for
ward in the right direction.
His only reference to the wars
was that the world outside our
hemisphere was in bad shape, a
fact so big that we in America
could not grasp the full meaning
of it, but that it made our par
tisan struggles appear as nothing
in comparison.
LAWSON LITTLE WINS
LOS ANGELES GOLF;
HEAFNER IS SECOND
Former Amateur King Cards 65
in Final Round' for 72 Hole
Total of 282
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8—(£>)—
Lawson Little played a remark
able 32-33tt-65 for his final round
and won the 15th Los Angeles
open golf tournament today with
a 72 hole total of 282. Starting
fwe strokes behind Clayton Heaf
ner, Charlotte, going into the last
round, the former amateur king
nosed out the North Carolina
star by a single stroke. Heafner
finished with a 71 for 283 and
second place. Little won $1,500.
Still one stroke back of Heaf
ner with nine holes to play, Lit
tle ran down an 18 foot putt for
a birdie two at the 15th, played
the 16th in one under par, went
one over at 17, and finished with
a par.
Three thousand trailed Heaf
ner over the final holes, as he
made a desperate effort to main
tain his diminishing lead against
the onrush of Little’s superlative
golf. Needing a birdie four at
17 and a par four at 18 to tie Lit
tle, Heafner gave the gallery a
great thrill when he hit two tre
mendous wooden club shots to the
17th green. But he three putted.
Again at 18, his second, a full
wooden club stroke, finished four
feet from the hole,'but he missed
his putt for a tie with Little.
The Los Angeles Country Club
course was soaked by rain from
start to finish of the tournament.

END PACT EFFORTS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8—(A*)—
The United States and Argentina
have agreed to terminate their
negotiations for a trade agree
ment, the State Department an
nounced today.
The announcement means that
negotiations have not merely
broken down as the department
said Friday, or been temporarily
suspended, as Buenos Aires said,
but have been abandoned.
WARMER TOMORROW
The weather man held out
no hope of immediate relief
last night as North Carolina
was held fast in the grip of
winter, with snow, sleet, and
slippery highways hampering
transportation.
Fair and colder today, war
mer Wednesday was the fore
cast. No more sleet or snow
was expected in the next few
days. While the snow and
sleet seemed fairly general in
the state, the heaviest fall was
in the north western section.
MESSENGER OUTLOOK IS GOOD
(Outlook Engraving)
“The Happiest Boy in Town,” is the title a number of people
around town have given Postal Telegraph messenger Leaverne Man
ess, shown above with his new Roadmaster bike, for which 36 of his
friends “chipped in” quarters, half-dollars, dollar! and even a few
two-dollar notes. The Pinehurst Outlook staff organized the sub
scription campaign for the bike. Before he received 'this holiday
present, Leaverne had to “hoof it” with all telegraph messages,
sometimes walking as much as three miles with one message. Get
ting the money for the bike was not difficult, in view of the fact
that everyone approached was glad to donate. Several donations
even had to be refused when the amount necessary was already sub
scribed.
Contributors included Bill Armont, Karl Andrews, Miss Mildred
Burns, Justice of the Peace Barbour, James Black, Floyd Currie,
Frank Correll, Keith Daniell, Miss- Douglas- Doak, Frank -Dicell-,
Police Chief Dees, Frank Dupont, Howard Dupont, Leo Fuller, R. S.

PINEHURST SCOREBOARD
1 by ROBERT E. HARLOW
An elaborate weekend of sport was put out of; commission by an
Act of God, but with it He contributed a mantle of glistening splen
dor. Glas^ flowers and crystal pines bloomed in 'gigantic bouquets.
At no time has the abundant foliage of the village put on such a
gorgeous spectacle as yesterday, when a breath of winter, added to it
a touch of glacial elegance.
The ladies golf match, the first polo match in the 1940 revival of
the sport, the Tin Whistle tournament and the first meeting of the
Sandhills amateur-pro league scheduled for Pine Needles, were
among the principal events which were postponed, and yesterday
the field trials could not be run.
The Tin Whistle tournament is now set for Wednesday, and the
amateur-pro for Monday, Jan. 15.
Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page of Chapel Hill, former national
women’s golf champion, would like to know if her three holes-in-one,
scored within a period of 15 days, is a world’s record ? She does
not want to claim it until she has given other candidates an oppor
tunity to rome forward, and has asked Donald J. ;Ross, chief of The
Pinehurst Country Club, to make an investigation. Mr. Ross would
like to hear about it if any other golfer has beaten or duplicated
Mrs. Page’s mark.
These three aces are members of a group of eight made by Mrs.
Page, all having been scored on her home course at Chapel Hill. The
first of the series of three was made on December 22, 1939. The sec
ond on December 29, 1939, and the last on January 6, 1940.
The holes, the distance, club used and Mrs. Page’s partners, when
these perfect strokes were played:
December 22, on 9th hole, 87*yards, while playing with her hus
band Julius and North Carolina assistant football coaches Johnny
Vaughn and Chuck Erickson. With seven iron.
December 29, on 4th hole, 170 yards, while playing with Oscar
Hamilton and her father, Dr. Robert Lawson. With six iron.
January 6, on 9th green, 87 yards, while with same players as
on December 29, and with the same club as on December 22.
The other five holes-in-one made by Mrs. Page were registered
since she took up golf about seven years ago.
Mrs. Page was very disappointed that the match scheduled for
Sunday afternoon in Pinehurst could not be placed. She said that
she has been hitting the ball well and anticipates being among the
contestants in the St. Valentine’s tournament, and the North and
South, in Pinehurst.
While her summer plans are not completed, Mrs. Page feels
that it will be too much of a financial strain to attend both the South

Italy, long suspected of having |

axis, furnished further proof of ,i
discontent with late developments J
on the European front, when it
was reported that the foreign
ministers of Italy and Hungary
had agreed on a defensive mili- 1
tary alliance assuring Hungary
of Italian support against invas- |
ion by Germany or Russia.
A late bulletin from BerRir |
confirmed reports that Germany
had refused to permit Italian |
planes destined for Finland to
pass through the Reich, adding jji
to the reports of trouble between |
Germany and Italy. f
The Italian-Hungarian agree
ment was said to have been made '
because of fear that Russia might |
strike against a southeastern f
neighbor, but also because of ad- |
vices_ from Germany that Nazi j
leaders, disgruntled with Ruman
ian refusal to send greater food |

Another reason was Germany^ |
fear that Britain, France and |

emment must find good defensive |
frontiers deep in the Balkans, |
