Lee Thomas, Superintendent of Schools, Tells How “Lar- nin” Affects Trade CITES PROGRESS IN N. C. “There is an indirect though vital relationship existing between public education and the industrial, commer cial and economic development of our country,” H. Lee Thomas, Superin tendent of Public Instruction in Moore County told members of the Kiwanis Club at their meeting in Pinehurst Wednesday. His subject was: "The Relation of Business and Wealth to Education.” “The quantity and quality of the desires, wants, wishes and needs of the American people of today are largely influenced by the courses of study administered in the classroom of the public and private school. ‘Larnin puts notions into chilluns* heads,’ quaint saying, is full of phil osophy for the business man of today. The knowledge, skill, habits and ap preciations acquired by the children of all classes of people in the schools throughout America today create the desire for a better and more abundant life, thereby building up a lasting demand for more goods and services of all kinds. Therefore the very foundation of American bus iness rests in a large measure on the general level of education and culture of the masses of her people. “The average business man believes in education. He is intelligent and foreseeing enough to be conscious of the direct benefits accruing to the individual from an education. He takes pride in contrasting his country with less favored lands, but to the local problem of the school system of his own community, county or state, he often complains of high special taxes, waste and extravaigfance in the school department. He forgets that the “fads and frills,” such as physi cal education, organized athletics, music, vocational education, art, in terior decorating, foods and clothing, scientific equipment, business courses, manual training, citizenship, litera ture, libraries, supplementary books, etc., are creating the desire and love for a fuller and better life and aid A Penny Didn’t Go Prominent Resident Finds Traffic Regulations Are To Be Taken Seriously The new traffic regulations in Southern Pines have teeth in them, a prominent resident of the Sand hills found to his sorrow the other day. Up to then he had assumed they were a joke, but the joke turn ed on him rather abruptly. He parked wrong, and Chief of Police Beasley put a ticket on his car. That told him to appear at the office of Justice of the Peace Windham. He went up there and tossed the ticket and a penny on the desk, remarking that he guess ed that would fix everything O. K. The Chief and the Justice had other ideas. It all resulted in Mr. Prominent Resident being cited to appear before Judge Humber at Carthage next Monday. Moral: Watch where you park. Get your car between the white lines, not on them. And take the traffic regulations seriously.

S. Veterans^ Bureau hos pital for this section. This move was launched locally upon announcement that the government would establish such a hospital “somewhere in the southern states,” and a committee of the Kiwanis Club was named to see what might be done toward interest ing Unde Sam in this section. The trip to Washingrton was the first step. Mr. McKeithen reported that the government committee proposed first to visit the southern states to deter mine in which state the hospital should be located, and that little could be said about its ultimate location un til the state had been decided upon. The committee will visit North Car olina within the next two weeks, mak ing its headquarters at Charlotte where the bureau maintains a branch office. It is possible that members of the Kiwanis committee will go "to Charlotte at that time. It was announced at the meeting that twenty-four residents of this sec tion haTe underwritten the amount of $6,000 toward the purchase of such land as might be necessary for th© site, in the event of the Sandhills bein» selected for the hospital.

This ' will be a business block erected by I LEAVES WIDOW, DAUGHTER Verner Z. Reed, N. S. Hurd and L. L. Biddle, 2nd, on the lot opposite the O’Brien stores, the location where some excitement was caused a year ago by the proposition to build a fill ing station. W. C. Holleyman, Jr., of Greensboro, is the architect, and Jew- ell-Riddle of Sanford will have the contract. The building is to be 95 by 30 feet, two stories in the main structure, but with two wings one story, somewhat after thje general pattern of the new Homewood house at Knollwood. In fact the new Pine hurst structure in a way suggests the Homewood influence, as it is to be of the Colonial type, of red brick, with many similar effects. Its ty pical early-day architecture will make it strikingly conspicuous in its loca tion, and a highly acceptable bit of construction for that vicinity. The new building is to be known as “The Village Court.” Through the middle of the building is to be an arcade, serving as an op ening into the rooms that will flank this passage and as a hallway and stairway to the second floor. The ar chitect has produced a well-balanced plan, with store rooms and office apartments, each perfectly isolated, yet a combined effect that makes of the new establishment a unit in its composition which will be a factor in that quarter of the village. The occu pants of the building will be selected, as the owners intend to maintain an atmosphere that will be attractive and dignified to harmonize Vvith the tone the building will create there. Room for Additions The site for the new project is well chosen. The ground is irregular in shape, affording, after the original building is erected, room for novel additions in the way of separate buildings, which will be grouped about the main structure in such a way that passage through the arcade will connect the smaller structures with the larger one, and provide there of fice rooms and apartments in a sort of colony style. The smaller buildings will be of the same type and con struction as the larger one, and a part of the general plan. The gi’ound on which this scheme is to be carried cut is covered with trees and shrub bery, which will be removed only as room is required for the buildings, (Please turn to Page Seven) David W. Hansley, manager of the Pinehurst Garage and prominent in civic affairs in the Sandhills for many years, was killed in an automo bile accident in Pinehurst last Sun day morning. While driving from the garage into the Carthage-Pinehurst road near the residence of Charles W. Picquet, Mr. Hensley’s car over turned after a collision with a car driven by Joseph Hough, of Carthage, a foreman in the State Highway De^ partment. Mr. Hensley’s death was in stantaneous. Mr. Hough was badly cut about the head and was rushed to the Moore County Hospital. Both cars were totally wrecked. “Tobe” Hensley, as he was known by his many fnends throughout the Sandhills, has long been prominent ly connected with affairs in Pine hurst and in the automobile industry of the state. He was the Packard agent in this section in addition to his managerial duties at the Pine hurst Garage. His acquaintanceship extended over a wide territory, thous ands of winter visitors to Pinehurst storing their cars “at Tobe’s” during their sojourns here each winter. Mrs. Hensley, who, with a daughter, Virginia, aged 13, survives, was sing ing in the choir of the new Commun ity Church at Pinehurst when the ac cident happened. Mr. Hensley is also survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Hensley, who reside in Virginia; by five brothers, Leroy, of Virginia, W. A., J. D., C. L, and R. W. Hensley, all of Pinehurst, and by three sisters, Mrs. Eppard, Mrs. Lawson and Mrs. Armentrout, all of whom make their home in Vir ginia.

When The Pilot announced its cam paign, it was expected that many entries would be made. But it seems that every one is waiting for the other person to enroll and win all the prizes; consequently, theire is still plenty of room for ambitious can didates to begin and win. However, the small list of present entrants whose names are published in this i^sue k^(^ aSnd appreteialte o5>por- tunity when presented, and are go ing to value your loyal support during the campaign days. The news of this great offer keeps on spreading, and interest and en thusiasm has bounded higher each day. If you have already enrolled this should be strengthened by taking hold vigorously and'prosecuting the campaign for votes in a successful conclusion with a magnificent prize as reward.

N. PAGE Pinehurst was awarded the 1931 convention of the Carolinas District of Kiwanis International at the an nual gathering held last week in Ral eigh. Robert N. Page so forcefully ‘ resented the invitation of the Kiwan is Club of Aberdeen to act as host r.ext year that other clubs desiring to extend similar invitations grace fully withdrew. The convention will be held early next November, with headquarters at the Carolina Hotel. The Carolinas district comprises all Kiwanis clubs in North and South Carolina. Thomas P.

A gen eral invitation to residents of the Sandhills to visit Aberdeen that night and witness the demonstration to be put on by the government’s new anti aircraft weapons and to hear the regimental band has been sent out, and a big time is anticipated. Officers of the regiment are to be invited to pay a flying visit to points of interest in the section while they are here, and the committee is lining up a number of automobiles to take them to Pinehurst, the Knollwood Air port, Southern Pines and such other places as the length of their stay here will permit. 'The regiment is due in Aberdeen some time Wednes day afternoon, 350 strong, and will encamp on the ball field on the Pine hurst road. The officers and men of the 69th are en route from the Aber deen Proving Grounds, in Maryland, to Port McClellan, Alabama. If one person in every twenty-three in Moore county will contribute one dollar, the annual Roll Call of the American Red Cross will go over the top as far as the Sandhills are con cerned. The drive is on for the quota of $1,200 allotted to this county. It started Armistice Day, in charge of the Moore county chapter of which Mrs. J. H. Suttenfield of Pinebluff is chairman. Willing workers are solic iting these dollars for a worthy cause, and despite hard times there is little question that Moore county residents will meet the obligation imposed upon them. Last year the local chapter fell a few dollars short of its quota. It raised over $900 in dollar member ships, a total of $1,751.31 through the addition of the more expensive memberships available for thos^ who want to give more than their dollar. But it is the annual one dollar mem berships that are wanted, for the American Red Cross serves all the people, and all- the people should play a part in its maintenance and opera-- tion. Half of the money raised from these dollar memberships in this county is retained by the county or ganization for its own relief and char ity program in this county. The other half goes to the national organization for its gigantic work of succoring the victims of catastrophes throughout the w^orld. The national organization last year enrolled 4,130,966 adult members, 6,930,849 Junior Red Cross members. The campaign here is under the di rection of Mrs. Suttenfield as county chairman and her branch chairmen in the various towns of the county. The Civic Club is behind the Roll Call in Southern Pines and lending its valua ble aid in raising the quota in its sec tion. Mrs. Hardin A. Gunter is branch chairman in Aberdeen and in charge of the campaign here. Mrs. L. R. Sugg tias charge of the Carthage branch. Other branch chairmen are as .fol lows: Addor, Miss Jeanne Addor; Cameron, Miss Vera McLean; Eu reka, Mrs. W. M.
