Met Tuesday Afternoon, Decem
ber 13. A Large Number
Attended
On Tuesday afternoon, December
13, the largest artd most enthusiastic
meeting on the record of the Moore
County Health and Welfare Associa
tion and the Moore County Chapter
of the American Red Cross was held
at the Civic Club, of Southern Pines.
In the chair was the new president,
Mrs. Francis T. Keating.
The afternoon was one of startling,
almost phenomenal revelations, and
it may be truthfully said that there
has been no other like it since the af
filiated organizations were establish
ed in this county. To begin with, it
was discovered that the Red Cross
Roll call, directed by Mrs. J. H Sut-i
tenfield, chairman, had gone over the
top with glory. Southern Pines
doubled her last collection, while |
Pinehurst raised three times her •
previous best amount. The result of!

FARMER’S PRIZE
Six Others Awarded By Kiwan-
is Judges for Good
Farming
At the Kiwanis dinner at the
Manor at Pinehurst Wednesday the
prizes were awarded the best far
mers in the various townships. Bill
Dunlop, G. H. Maurice and H. P. Mc
Pherson being the judges making the
decision. The awards were announc
ed by Bob Page, in a brief address in
which he paid attention to the im
portant place agriculture holds in the
affairs of men. Mr. Page mentioned
the difficult problem the relation of
farming to other industries has pre
sented in recent years, and confessed
that the problem is far from being
solved. Agriculture is not organized
and fostered like other industries, yet
it is one of the most important things
that come before the world.
"'Moore county's first citizen, Leo
nard Tufts, has made possible a stim
ulus of agriculture in Moore county,”
said Mr. Page, by this master farmer
movement, which has already been de
scribed inThe Pilot, and now the re
wards are offered for those men
whose work the judges indicate as
the most successful. The decisions
have been reached by personal visit
to the homes of the farmers, exami
nation of their records and achieve
ments, and the comparison by the
judges of the work. This work in the
county in this remarkable movement
is believed to have been the first ini
tiative in the United States, although
it has been taken up in other places,
but here it has been brought forward
on a basis that makes it possible to
determine who is a master farmer.
One man was chosen in each town
ship, and those selected were those
who promised success. Their land.

Work, made it possible for the Com
missioners to act at once on the ap
pointment of a county physician. This
they did, and then the selection of
this officer was referred, as prescrib
ed by law, to the Moore County
Board of Health. This, then, means
that the new year will be marked by
the establishment of a County Health
Bureau which has long been the vis
ion and one of thfe aims of the Wel
fare Association.
One of the outstanding privileges
0^ the afternoon was the opportunity
to hear Miss Katherine Myers, Red
Cross Field Representative for this
district, who came especially to urge
the appointment, if possible, of an
other Public Health Nurse for the
County. Her biggest point in urging
this is the fact that the authorities
have estimated that in order to ob
tain the best results, there should be
one Public Health Nurse to every 2,-
^0 people. In Moore County, the

golf championship on the same date,
20 years later. The father was a golf
player, and taught the girl many use
ful things. The family moved to
Providence when she was young, and
she played much there. But she took
to tournaments at an early age, and
has been playing in these conspicuous
contests ever since. She won the
American championship twice, the
Canadian twice, the North and South
four times, and the Eastern four
times. Besides these she has won a
lot of the less important battles.
Miss Collett has been coming to
Pinehurst about seven or eight years,
and played first in the North and
South championship about 1919. When
she won the National championship in
1922 she was only 19 years old. Be

been collecting scalps from players in

she won the National in 1925 she

money could be in most other forms.
The farm problems rema'n before the
farmer, Mr. Page continued, but
steps like this enable all men to gain
some light on the situation, and one
of the gains is that these farmers
have shown that the man who has
such a system that he knows at the
end of the year what he is doing, and
has a record from time to time of
his costs, his work, his income and
the regular progress of his business
has gone considerable distance on the
way to success.
Ed McKeithen, Nelson Courtway,
Bill Dunlop, W. N. Hutt, and Wilbur
Currie, the Kiwanis committee that
staged the movement and carried it
to a successful finish, were highly
approved by the club for their sum
mer’s work, and probably would be
given medals also if any had been
left. But they are affiliated with the
advancement of farming in the coun
ty, and that is not to be lightly re-
^rded.
