PLANT LOCATED IN ABERDEEN BY CCC CONTRACTOR Will Employ About 200 Men for Six Weeks in FabricatinR Material for Nearby Camps Dr. Luther Little to Preach for High School Seniors Sunday Night To Preach Here WEEKLY PAYROLL OF $3,000 Aberdeen’s Big Brick Warehouse will be the scene of much activity the next three months. Through the efforts of Henry Blue and other Aberdeen citizens Worsham Brothers of Knoxville, Tenn., were in duced to locate its big fabricating plant for the construction of CCC camps here. Mr. Paxton is in Aberdeen this week getting the building in shape for the installation of equipment and actual work on the material for the camps is expected to start early next W'eek. At least four camps will be fabri cated at the local plant with a possi bility that the number may be in creased later. Mr. Paxton* says that four shifts I of between 50 and 60 men each will I be worked daily and the work is ex- : pected to continue until the middle of August. So far as it is available, Mr. I^axton states, local help would be used. Establishment of this plant in Aber deen brings to the section a payroll of nearly $3,000 a week, which is ex pected to solve the relief problem for the summer months. It is understood that the suitability of the large brick warehouse for the purpose and the ideal railroad facili ties offered by the three railroads centering in Aberdeen had much to do with the selection of a location. In charge of the plant are L. E. Vest of Jackson, Miss., and T. L. Cook of Memphis, Tenn.

The board voted to recommend that the State Highway Commission take over the road from the John Allen McDonald property on Route 702 to the Moore County Hospital on Route 2. A good road at this point would make it easier for people going from the present connection of these two roads which is rather a dangerous point, it was said. FEW TEACHING CHANGES IN MOORE COUNTY Carthage, Aberdeen and Pinehurst have completed their teacher elec tions for next school year and have sent their lists in to the county sup erintendent for the approval of the county board of education. Approxi mately ninety per cent of last year’s teachers were reelected and it is thought that they will accept. A few vacancies arose, due to resignations. There is said to be very little friction in Moore county The entire Sandhill community has been saddened by the news of the sudden and untimely death of Mrs. John Kendall Rude, which occurred at her home in Freeport, N. Y., early Tuesday morning. May the 21st, af ter an illness of onl}' a few days. Mrs. Rude was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Wheeler, and as Alice Wheeler had endeared herself to a large circle of friends and acquaint ances, both in school and church, and through her long association with the Sandhills Book Shop. These friends had rejoiced with her in her recent happy marriage, and in the announcement of the receat birth of a son, John Kendall Rude, Jr. Her pass ing seems like a personal loss to many in Southern Pines, who have known her so pleasantly. A funeral service will be held at her late home in Freeport, and the interment will be in the Rude family lot at Delmar, N. Y. The sympathy of the .community goes out to her family, and especially to the young husband. She leaves to mourn her loss, beside her mother and father and husband, six sisters and one brother. Her mother and one sister, Hildreth, were with her at the time of her death. Mr. Rude’s father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Rude, who had come to Southern Pines for their usual spring visit, left by train for Freeport Tuesday evening.

Dr. W. C. Mudgett, one of the ad vocates of the bettei- cottage drive, pointed out that one of the most im portant steps confronting Southern Pines is putting into shape houses and apartments in preparation for a better season thi i fall. The doctor said that a.s a sponsor of the idea it was not necessary for large expendi tures of money to be made but it was important to see that the houses were nicely furnished so as to assure the most pleasant living conditions. He pointed out that the town now held the reputation of being one of the prettiest towns in the South with its abundance of shrubbery and green parkways of grass. Struthers Burt, corroborated this statement and further said that with intelligent decorating experts and landscape architects that are avail able here this idea could be carried out with a minor expenditure and with far less expense than the indiv idual might attempt himself. Mrs. Clara Pushee, owner of a number of winter homes, stated that the success in her renting was due to the fact that she kept her houses in the best of condition.

Referring to our ancesters and up to the present day he said there had been too great an interest in the ma terial things of life and as a result the livelihood of a large percentage of the people of this nation have been overlooked. Dr. Cutter informed his hearers that the E. R. A. had obtained the sible and the organization welcomed constructive criticism but object to criticism without foundation from critics that did not know the con dition that existed. The sixth annual meeting of Ninth District North Carolina Federation of Heme Demonstration Clubs will be held in the Pinehurst Theatre on May 31, beginning at 10 o’clock, and the program has all indications of being the best in the history of district meetings.

R. Lu CHANDLER HONORED At the annual meeting of the Grand Chapter of North Carolina Royal Arch Masons at Monroe on May 8 Ralph L. Chandler of Southern Pines was elected Grand High Priest for the coming year. Selection as the presiding officer of the state organi zation confers an honor upon Mr. Chandler which is appreciated by his fellow citizens. Southern Pines housewives have some very delightful thrills in store for them during these sessions. Mrs. Vivian Bushong states that this event is most timely in that her lectures really go further than the subjects pertaining to just pie crusts and cake frostings and embody many ideas that will be most helpful now, when the home is undergoing a period ol? mod ernization. Mrs. Bushong will, ot course, bring a host of new range and refrigerator recipes to her audience, as well as new ideas for every day and party menus.

FIN.ANCIAL CIRCLES HAIL BONUS V'ETO MESSAGE President Roosevelt’s bonus veto message met high favor in financial circles, but markets were quiet pend ing Senate action on the veto. Wall Street was particularly i^n- pressed with the President’s refer, ence to printing of greenbacks. The conservative element agreed unan imously with his view that one issue of greenbacks would lead to another until finally repudiation would re sult. advocated, sis a solution to the prob lem, a town hostess. Mr. Potts thought it would be well that the town take advantage of the money the Federal Government is offering for public improvements and heartily recommended the building of a rec reation hall. Mayor D. G. Stutz, in response to a question in referercc to the Town securing a PWA pro^.ct for the pur pose of building a recreation hall, ad vised that the public debt now stands at $575,000 and that bonds coming due between July 1, 1935, and June 30, 1936, total $28,000, and in addi. :ion to this interest amounting to ap proximately $33,000, and that during the next year bonds to be retired would amount to $23,000, and inter est of more than $31,000. He further stated that there was great danger of driving the investing public from Southern Pines if taxes were increas ed due to further expenditures for public improvements. Frank Buchaa recommended that the Chamber of Commerce appoint a planning commission in order , that the town might work toward i defi nite plan in the future. Dr. Herr reported that the South ern Pines Public School now has plans under way for the building of a gymnasium which could be used as a recreational center and would ac commodate 700 people. Hugh Betterley, president of the Chamber of Commerce, advised, just before adjournment, that he would make a special appointment of the planning committee at a later date.
