If the bill passes and a decision is reached to build the gymnasium with the aid of federal funds, it is the plan to so arrange the building that it may be used as an auditorium to seat 500 persons, as well as for school ath letics. The need for such an auditor ium as well as for a gymnasium, has long been felt here. The bill provides; “Section 1. That Southern Pines School District, in Moore County, be and it is hereby authorized and em powered through Its District School Committee to borrow a sum not ex ceeding twelve thousand dollars ($12,000.00), to be repaid in such in stallments as said School Committee may approve, in anticipation of the collection from time to time of the special taxes heretofore authorized to be levied and collected in said School District for special school facilities and for supplementng the regular school fund provided by the State for the purpose of expending such sum so borrowed for materials and equip ment in the construction and furnish ing of a school gymnasium and audi torium when and if the other funds necessary for such construction shall be furnished by the Public Works Ad ministration of the Government; Pro vided that the funds so boriwed shall be repaid only from the special taxes to be levied and collected from the taxable property of such District heretofore authorized to be levied and collected In said School District pursuant to an, election held to au thorize said levy and collection to supplement the school funds for said District furnished and allotted said District by the State.” -o'.

Socialized medicine which "threat- en."* dangers both to the public bur profession” was the subject of Dr. McCain’s report. “At the present,” he said, “there is no real demand for so cialized medicine by the public, but the fact that its advocates have en listed the sympathy of our great President. Franklin D. Roosevelt, to such an extent that he hns taken the initial steps toward securing legis lation for the socialization of medi cine should make the professon real. Ize it must give most serious study to the whole problem.” In addition to the addresses of Dr. McCain and Dr. Benjamin J Lawrence of Raleigh, the society heard a number of papers on medical sub jects and at the banquet session Tuesday night was addressed by Jul ian Miller, who talked on the possi bility of the federalization of the medical profession smd Its objection able features.

THREE OTHERS IN CAR Failing to negotiate the turn over the bridge which spans the Seaboard tracks at the south end of Southern Pines early Monday morning a car driven by Arthur Trembley of Sa lem, Ma.ss., a chef at the Carolina Ho tel in Pinehurst, plunged down the steep embankment on the north side of the bridge and was completely de molished. Tremblay, seriously injured, was rushed to the Moore County Hospital where he died at an early hour yes terday morning. The other occu pants of the car, two women from Jackson Springs and Walter Dodge, employed at the Pinehurst Country Club this winter, escaped serious In jury. The accident occurred around 2 o’clock Monday morning. The car is said to have been traveling at a high rate of speed, too fast for the driver to make the turn over the bridge at the intersection of Broad street and Morganton Road. Mr. Tremblay wa? 29 years of age. Though employed in P'nehurst this winter he had made his home on East Vermont avenue in Southern Pines. He leaves a wife and two children, aged 2 and 3 years. The body was tak en north for burial at Salem, Mass., last night. I Guard rails have nn yet been put in place leading to the newly con structed bridge where the accident occurred, but State Highway officials I state that this is due to the fact that the ground on either side of tht« pavement leading to the bridge has not P'ifficiently settled to permit permanent construction. The Sandhills will see something new in baseball on Saturday, May 18th. The challenge of the Southern Pines Fire Departmen' for a game to be played on donkeys has been accepted by the Kiwanis Club, and the battle will be staged at night near the Southern Pines Horse Show ring. These donkey baseball games have become popular In the state this spring. More than a thousand persons witnessed a thrilling game in Fay. eLteville the other night. The donkeys and flood lights for night games are provided by a company which is barnstorming the Carolinas. Those who have seen games played say the animals ‘ know their stuff.” It seems the pitcher and catcher are unmounted. The batter stands on the ground to bat, jumps on a donkey when he hits the ball, and makes for first base. All infielders and outfielders are mounted. It sounds like a lot of comedy and a lot of errors. The firemen, used to climbing strange things, think they ought to be pretty good at the game. The Kiwanians say they'll try anything once. They voted at their meeting Wedne.sday to accept the challenge Issued early in the week by Walter Blue on behalf of the fire fighters. We under stand Herbie Vail is to head the Kiwanis team, provided there’s a donkey tall enough to carry him. | J. Fred Stirnson and Herbert Cameron, of the Southern Pines Gymk hana committee, are arranging the affair. It seems they have a slight deficit after running gymkhanas here all winter, and plan to make It up that night. There’ll probably be a small charge for the game. Also, they are hoping to arrange an afternoon game that same day and will wel come a couple of ttams that want to volunteer to try It out. The donkeys'll be here all day, and they thrive on double headers.
