The dates for this tournament are Wednesday and Thursday, the 23rd and 2-tth, and already many of the country’s leding golf stars have signi fied thoir intftion fsi competing. It is expected that the women’s national champion, Helen Hicks, and the able Maureen Orcutt who beat her in Florida last week, will bo among those present. Much entertainment is plan ned for that week at the club, in cluding daily tea dances with music by one of the leading Florida orches tras on its way n,orth. Big Week for Dicks Dick Wilson Shatters Record at Southern Pines; Dick Tufts W'ins Tom Cotton It’s been a big week for local “Dicks.” “Dick" W’ilson pf Southern Pines established a new course record for amaterirs on the No. 1 cham pionship course of the Southern Pines Country Club. Playing in a foursome, Dick went out in 32 and back in 35, for a C7. Emmett French holds the record of 06 on this course, but Emmett is a pro fessional. Dick had three birdies out, two in, and was one ovc»’ par on the 12th only. The course is (5,- 300 yards long. At Pinehurst, “Dick” Tufts took amateurs and professionals alike intfl camp in the annual Tom Cot ton tournament, which is played over all four of the Pinehurst Country Club courses. Dick’s score just eked out the champion ship from Kmmett French, who was second. He averaged 7.") for the four riounds which, with his small handicap, gave him a one stroke margin over Emmett, who played at scratch.

DR, JACKSON HBADS NEW PINEBLUFF CIVIC LEAGUE A Civic League has been organized by residents of Pinebluff with the following officers; President, the Rev. Dr. Jpckson; vice-president, the Rev. Mr. Newell; secretary, Levi Packard; treasurer, Walter MacNeHle. The organization proposes to carry on a program of civic betterment in the village, working in close harmony with the town board. At a recent meeting the league voted to recommend to the board unii«orm streets of 30 feet, with planted parkways on either side. Politics is beginning to seeth in j the county. Candidates for this and | that are stepping into the limelight. I This week’s news contains the follow- j ing: ! T. D. McLean of Aberdeen has con sented t|0 stand for member of the (Jeneral Assembly. R. B. Taylor, chief of police at Carthago, announces himself a can didate for sheriff. The news of Mr. McLean’s candi dacy for the seat now held by U. L. Spenc-c of Carthage in the Assembly comes in the form of a letter from Z. V. Blue, of Eureka, chairman of a CiOmmittee of taxpayers and voters of that community. Mr. Blue writes The Pilot: “At a recent meeting of the tax payers and voters of the Eureka com munity the subject of our representa tion at the next General Assembly was freely discussed, and a man was suggested in which we have implicit confidence, a man whom we feel would represent the masses of the people, who has had a life time |0f experience as farmer and businss man in this community. The man to whom we refer is T. D. McLean of Aberdeen. Willing To Stand “Mr. McLean has been interviewed on this subject and has very reluc tantly consented to let his name be entered as a cmndidate, and knowing McLean as we do we feel that the people of this county ciould do them selves no greater honor than to sup port Mr, McLean.” The entry of Mr. McLean’s name adds to the prospective excitement in the field for an assemblyman. The opinion seems to be general ab^ut that Mr. Spence is willing, if called, to return, and it is known that his (Please turn to page 8) REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY ON WEYMOUTH HEIGHTS Mrs. Henry A.

And entertainment it is. A little bit of everything, with all the talent in town taking part. One needs but to look ovei' the cast of characters to want to invest the '>() or 7") cents necessary to gain admission. As Bill Hays says, “Here they are:” Miss Dorothy Richajdson, Jlrs.

Dr. Gable is the lone survivor iof fcix research men who refined the first radium produced in America. The other five men gave their lives in the hazardous work. He is a pleasing speaker and his story a thrilling nar rative of the scientific world. He will tell of the marvelous possibilities of radium in health, heating hfouses and runnin.j machinery. DR. McBRAYER CHAIRMAN FOR C. M. T. C. ENROLLMENT Dr. L. B. McBrayer of Southern Pines has been appointed Moore county chairman in charge of enroll ments for the Citizens Military Train ing Camp at Fort Bragg this year. The quota for this corps area is ex pected to be filled soon, and young men of Moore county who desire to spend a month at the camp should ocmmunicate with Dr. McBrayer at once. Last year in this area only 4,- 584 of the 12,500 applicants for the camp could be accepted, and the rule of “first come, first served” was strictly adhered to. There is no ex pense attached to the month of train ing and athletics, and the value to a youth is inestimable. The camp this year opens on June 14th.

It is expected that from these preliminary meetings will como a permanent organization which will become a .-egular affiliateil so ciety ,of the Grange, which is the old- (s* (■ ntiruons agricultural so-’iety in ti e United States on any broad scale, an:l one that has come through the various vicissitudes of years and struggle with a successful status at the present time.

Copies of the resolution are being forward tio Senators Bailey and Morrison and Congressman Lambeth. to congratulate themselves in’ any way except by proxy. In other words, if we leave out the donations receiv ed at the negro concert at the Coun try Club, and Mrs. Chapman’s inita- tive in bringing the Charlotte Players here, only thirty individuals have giv en anything t(0 help overcome the problem the town has had to face. The fund is now exhausted, but the unem ployed will have to be taken care of for another month before the farming season relieves the situation. There is no reason why, even leaving put sentiment or town pride, every person in Southern Pines, financially able to do so, should not make some contribution; the money goes right back into circulation here in South ern Pines. It seems 1^ me that for the rest of the season the greatest possible number of our citizens could not go far wrong if they came to the support of the thirty who have car ried on so far, and made the Unem ployment Fund a genuinely town af fair. Famous Radio Quartet Will Feature Banquet at Pine hurst March 11th Lovers of music from all parts of North Carolina are making reserva tions for the appearance here of the Revelers, the famous radio musicians, on the evening of March 11, to give a concert as part of the annual din ner celebration of the Tin Whistle golfing organization. The Revelers are being brought to Pinehurst the day of the concert by airplane, and will return by air. Eddie Dowling, noted Broadway star, is also coming, and the occasion is to be one of the most memorable in the history of the club. President W. W. Windle of Wor cester and a large committee of Tin Whistle members are working hard on arrangements, which include a buffet dinner in the grill of the Pinehurst Country Club, and the grand concert afterward in the lounge, to which the public will be admitted by ticket. A great number of tickets already have been sold, and an overflow au dience is expected to greet the fa mous musicians. FACTORY FOR ABERDEEN? There is rumor of a new industry for Aberdeen, but mystery attaches to the enterprise. Out of town inter ests have been negotiating for prop erty for a factory, but it is nfit known what they propose to manufacture. ■i
