A thorough inspection of sanitary

“But the Greatest
of These is Charity’
During periods of financial stress
the demands made upon hospitals for
free surgery, free treatment, free care
are, of nece^ity, greater than at
other times. Af the same time, hospi

The Moore County Hospital is no
exception. The Pilot publishes below

been discharged during the past few

Mr. Leonard Tuft.'s, president of

the dinner merited the full support
of Pinehurst.
“Dunlap is a fine sportnian
golfer, and this dinner can only part
ly express our admiration for his win
ning the national title,” Mr. Tufts
said.
The victory of Duniap at Cincin
nati last fall was particularly grati
fying to Pinehurst, for it was here
that the national champion learned
to play the game.
It was here also that he scored
some of his most notable successes be
fore ascending to the national throne.
Dunlap has enjoyed unusuai success
in the North and South Amateur
tourney, and has won scores of minor
tourneys. His most notable feat was
in winning the mid-winter golf cham

Last week’s payroll included 639 of
these, who who had worked a total
of 18,697 man-hours. The pay roll on
Thursda.v, December 23, was over $6,_
.jCO.OO. Since the assignment of the
quota to jobs, the number to be plac-
in the county has been increased by
of) women. A note from Mrs. O’Ber-
ry this morning increased the quota
to this extent. The additional women
to be placed will be used in sewing
centers over the county and in cler
ical, nursing and teaching positions.
A further increase in the quota for
the county is being sought and it is
possible that such an increase w'ill be
made at the state office early in the
and new year as the quota for the state
has been raised by Washington. Civil
works projects of great variety are
being placed at the Carthage office
for approval. During the past week a
number of projects of connty-wide
significance which had gone from the
Carthage office to Raleigh were re
turned with the approval of the state
office. Projects to build a county
school garage and repair shop, to re
pair school buildings throughout the
county and to repaint the school bus
es, will be gotten underway soon. A
county-wide sanitary project calling
for the construction of 2400 privies,
is under the direction of Mr. Don
ald McDonald of Cameron. He has 5
assistant sanitarians in different
parts of the county who are pushing
this phase of the civil works program.
The 339 men and women placed
from relief families w'ere withdrawn
from relief when assigned to projects.
In addition to these withdrawals from
the relief files, a number of place
ments by the re-employment office
also decreased the relief load as men
piaced by this office are frequently re
lief cases. The fir.st preference in
placing women from the newly in
creased quota will be given to heads
of relief families or to women with
a number of dependents upon them.
These women need not be active re
lief cases but must be certified as
eligible for relief.

Service
The Rev. Murdoch McLeod of the
Pinehurst Community Church an
nounced to his congregation at service
on Sunday morning that he had de
cided not to accept the call tendered
to him to become pastor of the Moore
Memorial Church in Nashville, Tenn.
The announcement came after more
than a week of sei'ious delibertition on
Mr. McLeod’s part and after strong
pressure both from Nashville and
his many local admirers to influence
his decision.
The church in Na.'^hville to which
he received a call is one of the strong
est and largest churches in the south,
so that Mr. McLeod’s decision came
as a great surprise to many here who
feared lest the summons to a larger
field be one he could not resist. His
love for the Sandhills and his friends
here outweighed all else, Mr. McLeod
told his congregation.
“No greater Christmas gift could
have come to the Community Church, ,
to Pinehurst or to the community than
his announcement on the eve of Christ
mas that he would stay with us,”
one of the leading members of his
congregation said after the servicu
Sunday.
Members of the church and other
friends of Mr. and Mrs. McLeod gave
them a surprise party Wednesday
night to express their appreciation of
the decision to remain in Pinehurst.
