Mrs. Ryals ' and E. II. Garrison, home and farm «lcmonstratLon UKonts, were suggest ed as secretaries to assist with the I work, and Mr. Currie was jriven the i authority to appoint others to assist j him, these wiili the chairman to com-1 prise an executive board. Each com munity will have it? local orpaniza- j tion which will work in connection ! with the central committoe. ; Rome seventy-five representative I men and women from every precinct of the county were present at the! nieetimr, having been called togeth-1 er by Mr. Currie, who was acting upon the request of Governor Gardner. The advisability of having a county-wide organization was discussed,, and Mrs. Campbell of Chnpel TIill, who is a member of the Governor’s council of unemploynu-nt and relief, told of some of the problems that would undoubt edly arise and have to be faced by the county. The i)oint was brought out that some of the communities w.'iuld '’'<vo a shortage of food and a surplus of clothinu'. while in other c('mmunities conditions would !'e just thv other way ’round. .A county exchange was dis cussed, and something ilefinite along this line will likely be w )rkeii out in the near future. The time was too short for the completion of the work itf organizing, but a good start was made and judging by the interest shown by those present, the ri'lief work of the county will this year re ceive the intelligent and sympathetic thought of every precinct within its bordeis.

With 78 in line, among them one Civil War survivor, veterans of Amer ican struggles marched to the Bap tist Church in Southern Pines last Sunday morning to fittingly celebrate Armistice Day at the special services conducted by the Rev. .1. Fred Stiin- son, pastor of the church and chap lain of the Sandhill Post, American I.egion. John Hayden .of Southern I’nies was the sole Civil War veteran in the line of march. There were a number of Spanish War veterans, but the pro cession was made up for the most part of army and navy men of the recent World War, members of the American Legion, and of the Legion Auxiliary. Not a few Wiomen of the latter organization marched with the men. The line formed at the Dodge service station in Southern Pines and followed the colors to the cl^urch. Mr. Stimson delivered a stirring ad dress befitting the occasion. There was no celebration on Ar mistice Day itself in Southein Pines, though the arrival of Miss Amelia Earhart in her autogiro plane furn ished the excitement for the after noon and led pver.vone to the Knoll- wood Airport. The stores w'ere closed. Carthage had a fitting celebration of the day W'ednesday morning under the auspices of the Legion post there, the citizenry turning out for a pageant put on by school children. Stores were closed all day in Aberdeen and the town depopulated when news of the coming of Miss Earhart gained circu lation. In Pinehurst a special program was put on at the Kiwanis meeting held in the Community Church. Watch for the annual Southern Pines Resort Number of The Pilot -next week. Hevei'ly (i.

He was a frequent visitor here in late years as re[)iesentativi‘ of the Hyron .'^ash it Door Coinpany of Louisville. Ken tucky. and had been calling on M. H. Folley just prior t^) the accident. .■\1- though the crossing, just west of the Folley lumber yard, is not a blind one, there is no warning site:nal in opera tion there similar to those at other ' .Aberdeen crossings, and it is appar ent that Mr. Moss failed t,-) note the oncoming freight. The train was ap parently proceeding at a high rate of speed, as 13 cai's passed the scene of the wi-eck before the train "was brought to a halt. i T.eadinn Citizen Mr. .Moss was prominent in Wash ing. He was for many years iiresi- dent of the bank there, and operated a large lumber company at the same time. He was an elder of the Presby terian churcn, a Shriner and a mem ber .of leading civic organizations. Mrs. Moss and two sons, Frank and Beverly, .Ir., sui'vive. .Mrs. .Moss was ruslied here from her home in Wash ington on news of the accident, being I ili'iven as far as Sanfoid by Miss Gladys Watson, a former Aberdeen school teacher, and from Sanford tiO the hospital at Pinehurst by .Miss Watson’s mother, from Carthage. She arrived there about half an houi‘ be fore her husband died without re gaining consciousness. The body was taken to Wttshinjjt/in yesterday where funeral services will be held.

He lushed over to Dr. Cheatham and suggested the ring inn- of tlie chapel bell, and the two started yanking the IVipe, Dr. Cheatham was the .Armistice Day s|ieaker at the Kiwanis luncheon, held Wednesday in the Community ( hurch at Pitiehurst. He talked of the great job of winning the war, but said the problem of winnimr the peact* since the Armistice had been more difficult, possibly, than the military effort. He referred to the cost of w'ar and preparation for war. The cost of one battleshij), he said, eiiualled the cost of 8,000 homes at $.'),000 each. Preparation may be carried too far, he believed. What we need is a world wide putting into practjice of the Kiwanis motto, “We Build.” Not battleships and armaments and ar mies, but constructive buihling, the forward march of progress.
