FIVE CENTS NATHANIEL BURT ON PROGRAM OF STATE SYMPHONY The Pilot to Award Scholarship to Washington College of Commerce Applicants Must Be Outstanding Scholars, Deserving, Well Recommended Composition by Yo?'«‘»’ Son of 3Ir. and IMrs. Sfruthers Hurt , To He Heard Tonight WRITTEN IN SANDHILLS By Hion H. Huflcr An interesting announcement from the University at Chapel Hill says that this evening, Friday, the North Carolina Little Symphony Orchestra will give a concert under the man agement of the Carolina Playmakei’s and the Institute of Folk Music, La mar Stringfield conducting. The first part of the program will present com positions by Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms. The second part will be the work of living coraposevs, and prom inently on the schedule is a production “Prelude Aubacle,” by Nathaniel Burt, of Southern Pines, a student at Princeton University. This young man is the son of Strutlicrs and Kiitherine Burl, born in AVyoniing in November, 1913, at Jackson’s Hole, under tht shiulow of the Teton mountains, while his daddy in the face of a blizzard was trying to drive southward to the lower ranch, some fifteen mi'es away, a herd of forty horses. The boy was born a musician. At the a^e of three, nights when the mercury was 30 below zero, wrapped in his blankets he would sit up in his crib an:l sing, “Jesus Lover of My Soul,” and “Good by. Girls, I'm Through,” and strange composi tions of his own, the latter habit fol lowing him to this day. He began to study music when si.x years old. One of hiS first teachers was Mrs. E. A. Bariteau, of Southern Pin#*«. who laid his course along helpful lines, to the credit of both of them. He was educated partly in Fr.ince. partly at the St. James School in Hagerstown, Maryland, followed by two years at the David Manness school in New York and last year in Austria. He is now a freshman at Princeton, and still studying compo sition during week-ends ir. New York. He hopes to make music his profes sion, yet he has written considerable, and has had poems published in Scribner’s. Written Here The young man’s composition which is presented tonight was large ly worked out at Ms home in South ern Pines, but when it came to the or chestration he called on Lamar Stringfield, who will be the conduct or at Chapel Hill, to advise and aid in allotting the parts and the deter mination of the instruments. Na thaniel from the beginning has been interested in composition, not the playing of any particular instru ment, although he plays the piano well. He has been studying composi tion, hamony and orchestration. He has composed a good many piano pieces, but this is his first orches tral composition. Lamar Stringfield said he had a .most extraordinary sense of all the instruments' in an orchestra. He wrote “Prelude Aubade” during his Christmas holidays from Princeton, and then went up to Chap el Hill for two days and he and Stringfield orchestrated it. “Prelude Aubade,” of course, means Prelude to a Morning Song. An aubade is a The I’ilot will award a scholarship worth $180.00 in the Washington Col lege of Commerce, Blackstone, Vir ginia free to one of its readers who is selected as the most fitted by the judges.

New Kduratiunal Plan The W'ashington College of Com merce operates on a new educational plan. It offers a two year course of i College grade work in Business .Ad- ' ministration to boys and girls who .are not intej'ested in, or able to take, [four year courses offered m regular I colleges. This plan is also for the benefit of those who want a prepar ation in the broad principles of bus- I iness procedure not offered in the ! many regular business colleges that lack collegiate standing.

Ben, like many mhers you may have heard about in the past, didn’t know his guii was loaded. He lean ed it’ on his foot. “Bang!” Ren was about a mile from home, a mile which seemed to him fifteen at least as he hobbled thcnce. He had shot off a toe. At the Moore County Hospital, where the fanii'y took him for tieatment, Ben is raj)idly recover ing. He'll be back in school soon and things will peik up. The Jun- jors miss his wisecracks.

The pupils in both the High School and the Elem entary ^School were dismissed for the two week period on Tuesday. The board members felt that the spread of the disease in the com munity might be curtailed by closing the schools at this time, and their action has met with the approval of the citizens to say nothing of the students. On Monday evening, the 16th, the Pinehurst Kennel Club was organiz ed, with the following offictrs for 1933: Verner Z. Reed, president; Mrs. Henry Page, Jr., vice president; Jack son Boyd, vice president; Col. G. P. Hawes, Jr., treasurer, Elmer M. Simpkins, .secretary and Charles W. Picquet, superintendent. The Bench Committee consists of Mrs. Hetni’y Page, Jr., Almet Jenks, James Tufts and Col. Hawes. The Constitution and By-laws were drafted and application was made to the American Kennel Club to hold a one-day show at Pinehurst on Monday, March 27th. Several locations are be ing at present examined as to the best place to hold the exhibition. All parties interested in dogs are invited to become members of the club, and if they will communicate with any of the officers they will be pleased to see that their membership is submitted to the club officials. The first show will be a 26-breed show and it was decided that the net proceeds would go to the Moore County Hospital. THE SENTINELS ENDORSED BY KIWANIS CLUB Sew Organization Given Impe- ; tus by Action Taken W ednes- : day by Kiwanians ' WO>IEN’S BRANCH MEETS At its weekly meeting on Wednes day the Kiwanis Club pa.ssed a reso lution that the club approve and isupfKUt the Sentinels. 1’his action, ; which was taken upon the recommen dation of the club’s Public -\ffairs Committee, should give considerable impetus to the men’s branch of the Moore County Sentinels which is still far behind the women’s branch in en- lollment and organization. F^dgar Ewing, acting district .sec retary for The Sentinels, attended the Meeting to answer whatever question.^ might be asked about the pi'ogram of the organization. He explained that The Sentinels would never oppo.se or lspo',i.sor any specific legislation but that if any member wished to bring any matter before the State or Na tional legislature or before the County Commi-ssioners The Sentinels headquarters would circulate among its members a petition with a view to enabling a large number of voters to take part in the request fur “redress of grievances.” ! “It is believed,” said Mr. Ewing, j “that this plan will enable large num- ' bers of citizens to bring their views to the attention of the law-makins , bodies without in any way compro- I niising ihe non-pressure policy of The Sentinels as an organization.” 1 The County Executive Committee I of the Women’s Branch of the Moore County Sentinels met at the home of , Mrs. Verner Z. Reed, “Sandy Woods,” on Thursday afternoon to discuss the I an angements for the meeting of the women’s branch to be held at the Carolina Theatre at half past three on Tuesday afternoon, January 31st. This will be the last county-wide meet- ; ing during this ‘session of Congress. Its purpose is to acquaint the member I with the procedure of the meetings 'and the method of obtaining the mem- I ber’s opinions on the acts of the rep resentatives. -As a result of the meeting of land owners called by the iMoore County Foi’est Protective Association and well attended at the Southern Pines Coun try Club last Thursday afternoon, a definite depariuic from previous pol icies in taking precautions against dis astrous fires in the section was made. Though the aim of the get-together was to plan for fire lanes in the sec tion, in the belief that they would prpvent the sprea 1 of fires, the plan ailo))tcd after consi<lerable discussion in which J. W. Harrelson, head of the State Department of Conserva tion and Development, and Bion H. Butler played a leading part, was to burn the wiregrass here and there throughout the wiregi'ass region at a time when it could be done safely and under proper control. -A further meeting was held at the office of L. L. Biddle, II, in Pine hurst on Monday of this week and the pljin adopted set in motion. The work is already iinder way as a re sult, large areas in the lower town ships of the county beinK burned over early this week by men selected and paid for by Federal relief funds al lotted to the county to aid unemploy ment. The work is under the main direc tion of Alex Fields, fire and game warden, but lo.ally in the hands of the local wai'dens. Fires are already in progress in different directions as (his is a safe time to burn the glass Within the next three or four weeks such safety regions will bs burned as will dispose of some of the worst and most dangerous accumulations of Brass, and afford lanes or ai'eas from which backfiring on a large and effec tive scale can be ; rosecuted at any time that a fire should threaten any section. The landowners can get in touch with local wardens and ta'k over plans for burning or not burn- ling in their section. It seems to be the sense of the people who have been at the meetings that by disposintr of the grass when weather and other conditions permit burning in safety nothinir will he left to invite fires a‘ such times as high winds rage an;' jwhen help is scattered and when fires might be of great danger.

THURSDAY Since the first of the year the Southein Pnies Committee on Un employment and Relief has been mak ing a survey of the clothing needs of its district. The first and apparently most pressing requirement disclosed was for shoes for certain of the negro (hi’dren. Thiough the courtesy of the i;i incipai of the West Southern Pines public school a li.-t was prepared and submitte to the relief .urnmittee lor luiir.er inu'stigation.

Dr. Prizer has under consid- eiation severe! suggestions as to how this situation can best be handle 1. He wishes however to remind residents of Southern Pine.s once more that con tributions of discarded clothing and shoes are badly needed and also that contributions of money would simplify the problem of caring for our less fortunate ntighb^rs. A canvas for clothing will be made on Thursday, Jan. 20th and everyone is requested to have his contribution ready for collection. The Hon. Josephus Daniels, editor ‘1 the lialeiyh Newj? & Observer and •Secretary of the Navy in thf* cabinet lit Woodiow W ilson during the World War, will be the speaker at the annual meeting and banquet of the Southern I’ines Chamber of Commerce on Thur.-day evening, February 2d, it v.-as announced yesterday. Mr. Dan- icis wrote Nelson C. Ilyde, chairman <<f the Banciuet committee, that he would be delighted to sj)eak here on that occasion. The annua! baiujuet of the Cham ber of Commerce is one of the delight ful affairs in .'Southern Pines each winter, the occasion for a general get- together of all citizens of the com munity—and many visitors—and the recountin.;’ of progress and accom plishments made during the previous year. Repoits are made by the pres ident and secretary of the organiza tion, and directors voted upon and plans laid for the new year. Dr. (leorge G. Herr has been pres ident during 1932 and in addition to his report he will introduce the toast master at the dinner. Who is to act as toastmaster has not as yet been an nounced. Shields Cameron, secretary of the Chamber, will make his annual report, and Frank Buchan will read the report of the nominating commit tee which present the names . of 25 candidates for the board of directors. Officers of the association are elected by these directors at their iirst meet- ing. In addition to Mr. Daniels on the ! rogram there will be several musi cal numbe.s. with a number of songs by young ladies of the Southern Pines High School Glee Club and by a male (lUUitet made up of members of the old Sandhills Sixteen. One or two “stunt” acts are being arranged and a geneial good time planned for the evening. The main dining room of the High- lan I Pines Inn on Weymouth Heights will be the scene of the festivities. Some 125 persons attended last year’s banquet and as many or moi'e are expected this year. Tickets at one dollar each will be placed on sale next week. CHORAL CLUB CONCERT ON FEB. 4TH INSTEAD OF 2ND The concert by the Choral Club an nounced by the Southern Pines Mus ic Society in these columns last week will be given on February 4th in stead of February 2nd as originally stated, in order not to conflict with the annual dinner of the Southern Pines Chamber of Commerce which will take place on February 2nd. The annual stockholders’ meeting of the Aberdeen Building & Loan As sociation will be held in the High School Auditorium Thursday evening, January 2Gth, at eight o’clock, at which time a report of the past year’s operations will be submitted and the election of directors for the coming year held.

LIBRARY PLANS MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN A' a special meeting of the South ern Pines Library Association held on Monday the important topic of rais ing money for the Library was dis cussed. It evolved into five methods of procedure—that of a swapping party, an art exhibition, a tea or card party of some description, and “Li brary Day.” So, with these in view, there shall certainly be some novel performances put on by the Library during the next few months. E. C. Stevens, of the Finance Com mittee, announced that the member ships for 1932 expired January 1. This month, in view of this fact a drive for members for the new year will start. There will be a membership contest put on for the Junior and Senior classes of the Southern Pines High School. The prizes will be announced next week at the start of the con test. “ JOE ” LINCOLN HERE Joseph C. Lincoln, noted author of Cape Cod stories, is at the High- “Wedding Bells” Ring Tuesday in Pinehurst Charlotte Little Theatre Play ers To I'resenl Comedy len der Local Au.spices The Sandhills Little Theatre will present the Little Theatre of Char lotte, in “W'edding Bells,” on next Tuesday evening, January 24th at 8:00 o’cUuk at the Carolina Theatre in Pinehurst. The people who attended the two shows, “Butter and Egg Man,” and “The Torch Bearers,” given by the Little Theatre of Charlotte last year at the Southern iPnes Country Club, can vouch for the high stand ard of these players. Because no director is available at present, the Sandhills Little Thea-. tre regrets that it is unable to put on a play this month. However, “Wed ding Bells” will be under the direc tion of Thomas B. Humble, w'ho was also the capable director of the Sand hills Little Theatre’s first play, “Come Out of the Kitchen,” which spCHiks for itself. “Wedding Bells” is, as might be gathered from the name, a most amusing comedy and will guarantee to “put that sun back in the sky” and incidentally to take off some of the “compression.” i “Wedding Bells” is to ho present ed in the Pinehurst theatre through the courtesy and cooperation of Charles Picquet. All of the orchestra tickets for ■ “Wedding Bells” will he reserved ; seats in front nf boxes, $1.00 and 75c; , hurst at the Carolina Hotel and Car- jolina Pharmacy and in Southern Pines at the Board Street rhannacy.
