According i to a special despatch to The Pilot from Washington, the road was pav-1 ed this week for diverting $65,000,000 of Public Works Administration, money into the postoffice building j program by the reporting of an > emergency appropriation bill. Of this sum $1,834,000 would come to North Carolina, $77,000 to Southern Pines. The appropriations committee in fact took up the old Hoover prog ram of providing employment in the building industry and restored the plan, cast into the governmental wa.«te basket a year ago when the Public Works Adrhinistration took over the postoffice building projects. Congress had voted the postoffice building fimd to the CCC camps on assurance that it would be restored from the recovery act lunds, but since the PWA has authorized only f about 230 new postoffices of the 600 that had been authorized by Congress and for which money had been ap propriated, they are now put back on the lists. Some changes are made in the North Carolina program, however, as compared with the appropriations two years ago. Changes are: Albemarle, reduced $160,000; Dunn, cut $7,000; Fayetteville, reduced $8,000; Gastonia, slashed $74,000; Morganton, reduced $10,000; Raleigh, increased $26,000; Reidsville, increased $38,000; Sanford, cut $1,500; Shelby, reduced $165,000; Rockingham. increased. $30,000; Southern Pines, reduced $18,000; Wil mington, reduced $7,000, and Win ston-Salem, $100,000. Owing to the fact that material and labor has increased 25 per cent since January 1, 1933, and proposals for bids have necessarily been rescinded in a number of instances as was done at North Wilkesboro, the committee asks Congress to appropriate $2,500,- 000 to be used in carmg for projects (Please turn to page 8) Half Holidays Stores and Postoffice to Clos^ Wednesday Afternoon Dur ing Summer Months Following the custom of the past ten years nearly all the Southern Pines stores closed Wednesday af ternoon and will continue so to do during the summer months.

Aberdeen stores are also closing on Wednesday afternoons. COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS MOVES AUDIENCE OF 500 The Pilot to Conduct School Here on June 21st FIVE CENTS Stirring Talk to S. P.

A few Mayflowers already have reached the market, selling from four to five dollars a bushel. This, however is not considered a criterion upr;n which to base the ultimate re sults for the season. The main crop of peaches, beginning with Hiley Belles, is not expected to start prior to July 10 to 15, 10 days Or two weeks later than last year. Likewise Georgia Belles probably will move July 20 to 25 and Elbertas July 30 to August 5. It is expected that Georgia will produce 10,000 cars of peaches this' advantages enjoyed by the youth of year but present conditions point j today, and the opportunities they to the greater part of the crop have to succeed in life. “To choose south of Macon being moved prior the right things and to reject the to the starting of the main crop in' wrong, is the greatest test of char- North Carolina. Likewise this should c<cter” said Dr. Cheatham to the moving ever heard in Southern Pines and made a deep impression on every person in the hall.

Craighlll Brown present ed the speaker of the evening with a fevv well-chosen words. Miss Jean Lane presented Morrell Bentley with the D. A.

Edith Poate completed the program. which, when put into practice, will lighten her work and shorten the numbers of hours she spends in the kitchen. The all-electric kitchen is designed to reduce the number of steps taken, and the menus to be prepared will require a minimum of time. According to a survey conducted throughout hundreds of cities in the United States the average house keeper walks a distance each year as far as from Boston to San Fran cisco. A policeman walks on the day; a waiter 12 1-2 miles a day; sales girls 8 miles, according to those who com piled the information. Most of us have sympathy for the policeman, the waiter, and the store sales girl because they must spend so many hours on their feet and walk long distances daily. However, the home-maker, or the hounsekeeper, walks very nearly as far every day as does the policeman I'r the waiter. It is the needless s*aps that tire the busy housewife and add to her problems of managing a household. General Electric experts have work ed out plans to reduce those unnec essary steps. Today, the modern, all-electric kit chen not only saves steps but time— kitchens are scientifically arranged. Range, refrigerator, dishwasher, sink and cupboard storage space—all are designed for certain spaces which will save steps. Grandmother perhaps walked more than 8 or 9 miles a day in her hou.se- hold work. The modem woman, with Connect With Shipping Ter- efficient equipment such as v,'i:i be minals as River Traffic to used during the all-electric kitchen Opens demonstration, walks much less than the average woman. | Application of the Aberdeen & It is the purpose of The Pilot to Rockfish Railroad, with headquarters bring you practical information and in Aberdeen, to extend its tracks one make of this cooking school the most mile to the banks of the Cape Fear I modern it has been your privilege to River in Fayetteville has been ap- 1 attend. proved by the Interstate Commerce -- 'Commission, it was learned this I KIWANiS CLUB HE.XRS ■ week.

I.aine Brown, second man in the three- cornered race for Solicitor of the 13th Judicial district told The Pilot over long distance telephone yesterday. Rowhind S. Pniette of Wadesboro is therefore the dul.y nominated Denwratic candidate for successor to F. Don Phillips. Don Phillips, of Rockingham, upset many predictions in defeat ing Superior Court Judge A. M. Stuck for judge of the 13th dis trict, which includes Moore coun- t.v. Phillips carried Moore county by 2333 to 1418 votes, the dis trict by close to 1400 votes. The d«M-ision of Mr. Brown not to c^ill a second primary is ex pected to m«in that no such pri- niar.v will lie held in Moore, the local candidates having the right up to Sundji.v, June 10th to call one being loath to take the re sponsibility for such a move ow ing to the ex|>ense to taxpayers.

V'ance Rowe, mayor of Aber deen, v.-as nominated to succeed Judge George H. Humber in the Reccjder’s Court. Judge Humber has occupied this bench since the establishment of a Recorder's Court in Moore county. D. D. McCrimmon of Hemp was named to supplant E. C.

Un ion L. Spence of Carthage won out in the three-cornered fight for the nomination for State Senator. The vote was close, Mr. Spence having 1653, S. H. Miller of Carthage, 1272 and Sam R. Hoyle 805. W. R. Clegg almost doubled the vote of his nearest rival in the race for the nomination for the House of Representatives, having 1676 to A. B. Cameron’s 877, N. L. Gibbon’s 842 and Jesse D. Frink’s 337. Mr. Cameron is the pres ent representative of the county in the Legislature. Charles J. McDonald was re-nam ed for Sheriff, polling 1991 votes to the 1215 for K. G. Deaton of Aber deen and the 607 tor T. L. Blue of the Eureka section. Currie Victorious There were three contests for county commissionership, one of which came close to dislodging the present chairman of the board, Wilbur H. Currie. Mr. Currie polled 1744 votes against 1536 for his fellow townsman in Carthage, L. Reid Flinchum. D. A, McDonald, a third candidate, was given a total of 374. In the 2d district McCrimmon beat Matheson by the scant margin of 36 votes; in the 5th district Gordon Cam eron was named over C. F. Leavitt by a good marghi. Cameron is a pres ent member of the board. As usual W. J. Harrington topped the list in votes, having a total of 2495 in his campaign for renomina tion as Register of Deeds. D.
