Friday, July 20, 1934. THE PILOT. Souihcra PtftlfeB ihd Alberdeen, North Carolina Page Seven Samuel V. Ramage Honored in Oil Cityy Pa., on 81st Birthday Prominent Pinehurst Winter Resident Lauded by His Fellow Citizens Crossing the 81st milestone of a life filled with beneficent deeds to his fello'w man, abundant contributions to the btlteTmenl of his community and his state, and inspiring accom- plishments in the field of business %nd Industry, Samuel Y. Ramage, 'out- sitanding leader in Oil City and west ern Pennsylvania, was honored on the evening of July 2d at a testimonial dinner at the Wanango Country club in oil City. Mr. Ramage is a winter resident of Pinehurst. Indicative of the respect and es teem in which he is held and the sin cere gratitude imbedded in the hearts of his fellow citizens for the worth while contributions of a long and abundant life, 350 residents of the community, the district and the state gathered to honor XIr. Ramage on the eve of his anniversary and the cele bration was the greatest of its kind •ever conducted in 'Oil City. Headed by a distinguished group of state officials and prominent lead ers in the Republican party, with which Mr. Ramage has been active ly associated throughout his adult life, the gattatering included promi nent citizens from all sections of the commonwealth, men who cherish the friendship of Mr. Ramage and wel comed the opportunity to pay tribute to his sptendid deeds. Attorney General William A. Schna- der of Harrisburg, Republican nomi nee for the office of governor of the commonwealth, headed the distin guished group of state officials in attendance at the gathering. Others in the group who journeyed far to be present at the testimonial dinner and join in the tribute to Mr, Ramage were: M. Harvey Taylor, Harrisburg, Republican state chairman and nomi nee for secretary of internal affairs; H. B. Scott, Phillipsburg, nominee for lieutenant governor; General Ed ward Martin, Washington, former state chairman of the Republican party, and Joseph R. Grundy, Phila delphia, former United States senator from Pennsylvania, The anniversary gift to Mr. Rapi- age was a beautiful silver centerpiece, handsomt-ly worlted and tastefully de signed. The platter, or to use the correct term, the plateau, on which it sits, was beautifully engraved with the following inscription; "Presented to SAMUEL YOUNG RAMAGE on his 81st birthday as a sintere tribute to a long life of achievement, so helpful and bene ficial to his fellow man; a life charac terized by rugged strength, indomita ble courage, genuine kindliness, and an eagerness to do his duty as he saw it, which has been an inspiration to his fellow citizens, commanding re spect, trust and confidence, an indi cation in a small way of genuine ap preciation of worthwhile efforts over a period of years, a mark of respect and admiration justly earned.” F1')we«* for Mrs. lliuimj^ A large basket of roses was sent to Mrs. Ramage, with these words on the card: “In this basket of flowers we seek to convey some evidence of our es teem and love, for the one whose in spiration and help have contributed so largely to the success of Mr. Ram age. School Loan Question RASSIE WICKER’S VIEWS (Continued from page 3) the State has in effect told them to stay out of, and gymnasiums maybe, in which the flaming youth of their own and other districts may exhibit, at nocturnal basket-ball games, their exuberant loyalty to Dear Old ^i- wash. Even if it be granted that practi cally all buildings in the County are a little cwercrowded, and that all of them need repair, It does not by any means follow that they should be wrecked and roplsced Tjy architectUF- al monstrosities costing fourteen hundred dollars per room. In far too many «if the -fifty thousand dollar buildhigs we have down here, we have a fifty-dollar-a-month teacher trying to teach children who have not had sufficient food to warm their thinly clad bodies. 'Verily, a college is a log with a teacher on one end and a student on the other. There are certain terms such as: “Repair,” “Renovation," “Hebuilding,” etc. which seem to have gone the way of the old virtues. It is the conviction of many that soon—perhaps next year—the Legis lators we send down to Raleigh, wor- sh-iping as usual at the altar of the great god Expediency, will sever the final remaining tie our citizens have on local government, and hand over these school buildings, lock, stock and barrel to that self-constituted and self-perpetuating bureaucracy, the All-wise and Omniscent State Board of Educatidn, even as went our i^rood roads, while that one cent gas j tax i.s piling up in RaJeigh for unlaw ful diversion to an unbalanced bud get, and our one-time good roads are washed away and forgotten. Finally comes the question of con solidation of our various County .school bond.s. There is certainly no argument for this move. The sjiuth end made debts and built and are using the schoolhouses. Let them pay for them. Register for the election. And stay away from the polls .on election day. This is even more eflective than a .vote against the measure. I - R. E. WICKER.
