These are statements made before
the Kiwanis Club of Aberdeen at its
meeting Wednesday in the Aberdeen
Community House by Judge Robert
W. Winston of Durham, introduced by
Di. J. W. Dickie as one of North
Carolina’s most distinguished citi
zens. Judge Winston is the author of
brilliant biographies of Andrew John
son, Jefferson Davis and Robert E.
Lee. having turned to writing upon
his retirement from the bench. He
was formerly the law partner of the
ed on its career of usefulness with
fitting ceremony.
Mr. Lambeth, after congratulating
Pinehurst on its enterprise and good
sense in making constructive use of
federal emergency funds, in the
course of which he stated that if
more communities had utilized CWA
funds as Pinehurst had they would be
better off, took occasion to criticise
federal relief methods insofar as
wages paid to workers go. The big
mistake, he said, has been the paying
of relief workers wages which are
far higher than those paid by private
industry in normal times.
“This is especially true of agricul
tural sectioas. Millions of workers

New Golf Rates To Be
Put Into Effect Here
Country Club Announces Five-
Day Cards for S7.30 for
Men, $6.00 for Women
The Southern Pines Country Club
will inaugurate a new golf rate be
ginning November 1st. A five-day
ticket will sell for $7.50 for men and
$6.00 for women. The ticket will en
title the golfer to five days of golf
to be played any time between No
vember 1st and May l.st and hold
er of the ticket shall have the priv
ilege of tak'ng a guest for play with
out additional charge, except it will
count as one of the days of golf pun
ched on the card. The new rate is ex
pected to prove very popular among
winter visitors as well as all-year res
idents and will take the place of the
usual weekly rate which has been
in effect for many seasons. In addi-
;tion to the ifive-day schedule the
club is offering attractive seasonal
and monthly rates and a family rate.
The management reports that three
applications of fertilizer have been
put on the courses during the sum
mer months and with the unusual
amount of rain we have had during
the past few months the courses are
in excellent condition. Italian rye
grass has been sown around the
greens in an area at least twice as
large as that sown during the pre
vious season, thereby making an un
usually smooth putting surface. The
entire grounds fronting the Country
Club have been sow^l in Italian rye,
enhancing the beauty of the club
property. The improvements made
this year are expected to attract a
large number of golfers here this
winter and it is the intention of the
management to make it one of the
principal social centers ef the resort.
A reduction in ratts has been
agreed upon by the Carolina Power
and Light Company, which operates
here, to take effect with the use of
current beginning November 1, Stan
ley W'inborne, State utilities commis
sioner, has announced.
The new rate will be shown in bills
to be mailed to domestic and com
mercial consumers December 1st.
In addition to flat cuts in its basic
domestic and commercial rates, the
Carolina Power and Light Company
is also offering its consumers induce
ment rates which will afford them the
privilege of usi^g more electricity
for the same amount of money, Win-
bourne said.
The residential rates ahave been
reduced in that the energy charges
in excess of 100 kilowatt hours used
is cut from five cents to three cents
per kilowatt hour. The old residen
tial rates provided a service charge
of $1 plus five cents for each kilowatt
hour.
Under the new rates, the residen
tial charge will be 10 cents per kil
owatt hour for the first 20 used, five
cents per kilowatt hour for the next
80 used, and three cents for each ad
ditional kilowatt hour. No bil! will be
less than $1, this having been set up
as the minimum, but the service
charge has been eliminated.
The charge of 10 cents per room in
the comr>ary’s combination domestic
cooking and lighting rate will be
eliminated, and this will reduce the
bill on all combination domestic con
sumers having more than four active
rooms.
The Carolina Power and Light
Company serves east jcentral and
western North Carolina, and flat re
ductions in its commercial rates will
apply to all cities and towns In which
the company operates except San
ford, Jonesboro, Dunn, Raleigh, Ox
ford, Gold.sboro, Wadesboro, Hamlet,
Henderson and Rockingham.
The present rate In these 10 towns
will become the new statewide rate.
