THE PILOT, Southern Pin eg and Aberdeen, North Ou^Hna Paf^e Flv* Plans Are Approved for 26-Bed Addition to Moore County Hospital breaks Arm in Contributions Solicited for, Construction of Much Needed Ntew Wing Plans for the addition of a new wing to the Moore County Hospi tal near Plnehurst were approved this week by the Board of Direc tors. The plans, drawn by Charles C. Hartman of Greensboro, call for an extension on the right of the present building-, coming out at an angle in the direction of Pinehurst. The construction will be in keeping with the present build-1 ing. It is expected to cost around : $60,000, of which Moore county hopes to receive 45 percent in a federal grant. The new wing will provide 26 ad-, ditional beds, some in wards, some i in private rooms. The present ] building has been overcrowded for some time, necessitating the use of the solarium as a temporary ward. The new building should provide ample facilities for the county for many years to come. Contributions for the new wing, to provide the hospital’s 55 percent necessary to match the anticipated federal grant of 45 percent, are now being solicited. Many substan tial gifts have been received. Do nations toward the cause, in amounts howsoever small, will be welcome by the institution and should be sent to Paul H. Dana. Treasurer, Pinehurst, N. C. Col. C. P. Hawes, George H. Maurice and L. H. Pender com prise the building committee of the hospital which will supervise construction when the funds are available.

Walker Person, Jr.. a West Southern Pines colored boy, paid dearly for the dime he tried t® earn the other day. Walker was asked by a resident of Southern. Pines to take the man’s tire down to a filling station and pump it up. There was a dime in it for him. Walker went up to the free air tube and proceeded with his task. The pump had considerable pres sure on, and suddenly the rim blew off the wheel, striking the colored boy’s arm and fractur ing it. He started to walk home when a passerby noticed the condition he was in and rushed him to the Moore County Hospital. There his arm W'as set, he was advised how to take care of it, was taken home. Coincidentally, at the .vame time Walker was in the hospital his mother was being cared for in one of the public wards; his father had been released from the hospital two days before. It was not a good week for the Perscn family. B.WK I>EP()SrrS IN STATK SHOW (iAI.V FOR YEAR Deposits in the banks of Nortli f'arolina totaled $293,000,000 on June 29 as compared with $239,000- 000 on June 30, 1934, according to a statement issued this week by Clarence T. Leinbach, president of the North Carolina Bankers' As sociation. Lawyer Teaches Court Lesson in Auto Laws Freed When He Proves You Can’t Be Arrested on Charge of Speeding That there are now no regular speed laws in the State due to an amendment to the State Motor Vehi cle Act of 1927 adopted by the gener al assembly was discovered suddenly by Wilson police this week when W. A. Lucas, prominent attorney, was found not guilty of speeding with his car by Judge O. P. Dickinon in Coun ty Court. Mr. Lucas was arrested a few blocks from his home Monday by Motorcycle Patrolman J. A. Baker, and ordered to appear in county court to answer the charge of speeding. The warrant charged Mr. Lucas with traleving at the speed of 45 miles an hour. That a person can no longer be arrested for speeding but must be charged with reckless driving if he be caught going too fast was forci bly brought to the attention of the police, who had not been advised either by North Carolina’s Secretary of State, Stacy W. Wade, or the State Motor Vehicle Department In Raleigh of the change in the automo bile laws. Mr. Lucas, who pleaded his own case, told them for the first time what the new law really is. The new law can be found in Chapter 311, Section 4, of the laws passed by the 1935 General Assem bly. It reads a follows: A. No person shall drive a motor vehicle on the public highway at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions then existing. Mr. Lucas proved to the court^ satisfaction that he was going at a reasonable speed under existing con ditions. “I had four-wheel brakes on my car,” said Mr. Lucas, "my steering gear was in perfect order; and I had the car under perfect control. There was not a soul on the highway in sight; no cross streets but one right at my house up to the spot the offi cer caught up with me; and no people, beast or fowls anywhere around. I stopped at the next intersection where there was a stoplight and it was here that Baker caught up with me.” Mr. Lucas also brought out that the new law provides where there is a special hazard existing the follow ing speeds are set forth for the mo torist. 1—25 miles per hour in business district. 2—25 miles per hour in residential district. 3—35 miles per hour for any car designed or equipped for, or engag ed in transportation of property, and 30 miles per hour for such motor ve hicles to which a trailer is attached. 4—45 miles per hour under all oth- er conditions.
