Poate Urges Members to Use Influence for Its Creation Members of the Aberdeen Kiwanis Club, at their regular Wednesday lun cheon at the Civic Club, were urged by Dr. E. M. Poate, judge of the city court of Southern Pines, to use their influence to secure the passage of two laws now pending before the Gener al Assembly in Raleigh which would ! establish a municipal court in South ern Pines, Pinehurst and Aberdeen to be the same as the recorder’s court for the county, except that it will han dle only cases pertaining to the Sand hill section of Moore County. The creation of a district court would sav^ the time of the business men of the Sandhills in not having to go to Carthage to testify in cases that could be disposed of here, Dr. Poate, who was a guest at the meeting, point ed out. The matter was referred to the Public Affairs Committee for ac tion. Bion H. Butler, veteran newspaper man, was the chief speaker at the luncheon. He told the club of many mysteries of nature in an enjoyable talk. Plan Drive for Funds To Aid Unemployed Southei’n Pines Unemployment Committee Doing Great Work For Jobless s. p. Country Club to Stage Fashion Show Sandhills Sixteeii and Other Lo cal Musicians Will Furnish Entertainment The Finance Committee of the Sou thern Pines Unemployment Commit tee held its second meeting at the Country Club Tuesday evening. Dr. G. G. Herr, chairman of the commit tee, reported that a number of very gnrous subscriptions had been receiv ed todate. The comanittee finds, how ever, that in order to continue the relief work and to complete the ^pro- jects that are now underway, it is necessary that the citizens of South ern Pines respond immediatey to this worthy cause. A drive for funds will begin in the next few days and the committee earnestly appeals to the public to contribute as largely as pos> sible. Dr. Herr has plans under way for a benefit dance to be given at the Country Club the latter part of this week. The receipts from the dance will go to relieve the unemployment condition that is existing in the com munity. There were more than a dozen mem bers of the Finance Committee pres ent at the meeting. It is reported that according to financial statements submitted the goal of $5,000 is not in sight. In order to continue the exten sion of Pennsylvania Avenue into West Southern Pines and to complete the building of parkways and side walks of May Street, it is necessary that funds be raised immediately. Teams and men are now grading Pennsylvania Avenue on the "West side of McDeeds Creek. The right of way is now open into West Southera Pines and three or four more weeks of work will be required to complete the job. Mayor D. G. Stutz and the Town Board of Commissioners have placed an order for drain pipe for McDeeds Creek and the building of the road is progressing at a very rapid rate. The rubbish and underbrush on the highway are being removed and park ways are being built. Mr. MorreU has already set out several hundred long leaf pines on thei finished park ways and May Street is fast being made a beautiful entra|ice to the town.

The outside barred doors of this wing are, of course, securely locked at night and it is also sepa rated from the cell block by another iron door which is also locked. The:>e means of egress are all on the ground floor. On the first floor is located th» Print Shop in which gasoline is used in small quantities for the purpose of washing type forms and press rollers. Adjoining the Print Shop is the Chair Factory in which is stored bundles of cane and frames for chair backs and bottoms. The second floor houses the drug room and operating rooms in one section and the hospital kitch m in an adjoining compartment. The third and fourth floors are used solely as hospital wards for the male pris oners, there being two each for the white and colored patients. These four wards, two on each of the floors, are separate and distinct rooms having only one door each which opens into the main hallway—and these doors are made of heavy iron mesh and are securely locked at night.
