Mrs. Page Has Narrow
Escape in Auto Mishap
far Is Sho\«'«l 150 FVi*t by Train
Without TuniinB: Over.—Two
C'haiMller Cars i>aniaK<‘(i
Three motor accidents marrtd the
week-end for a number of prcminent
residents of the Sandhills, though
fortunately no one was injured. One
of them was one of the strangest re
ported in this vicinity in some time.
On Satur(lay morning Mrs. Robert
N. Page, jr., of Aberdeen was driv
ing her car across Doub's crossing
in Aberdeen, crossing the Seaboard
tracks between two freight cars on
a siding. A switching engine ap
peared as if from nowhere, struck
her car amidships and shoved it 150
feet dow'n the track.^!. Although she
expected it to overturn at any mo
ment, it remained upright due to
slippery snow, and except for tem
porarily shattered nerves and slight
damage to the car no- harm was done.
Ralph Chandler, manager of the
Carolina Power and Light Company’s
office in Southern Pines, was not so
fortunate. His new sedan skidded
on the highway near Raleigh direct
ly into the path of an oil truck and
w’as almost completely demolished.
On the same day another car be
longing to Mr. Chandler and driven
by his son-in-law, Richard F. Tarlton
of Southern Pines, treasurer of the
Kiwanis Club here, was struck by a
milk truck cn Connecticutt avenue,
Southern Pines, and badly damaged.

BENEFIT FAKTY ON MAKCH 3
The Community Welfare Associa
tion of Pinehurst held its annual
meeting Friday, Feb. 21, at the
home cf Mrs. Leonard A. Tufts. Re
ports for the year were made and an
interesting discussion held as to the
relative necessity, in budgetting for
the coming year, of school lunches
for the undernourished and under
privileged, of clothes for children in
sufficiently clothed to attend school
and of medical or surgical care for
the incapacitated wage-earners. As
each cf these three calls for expend
itures, when discussed, seemed of
paramount importance, it was voted
to leave the decision to the executive
committee of three, which is com
posed of Mrs. Leonard Tufts, the
Rev. T. A. Cheatham and the Rev. A.
J. McKelway.
Mrs. Leonard Tufts w’as reelected
chairman for the year and has asked
Mr. Cheatham and Mr. McKelway to
serve with her again as executive
committee. It was voted to have a
benefit party on Tuesday, March 3, at
The Carolina Hotel.
Six elderly white people are being
permanently supplied with small food
orders; also two families had food
for a short period. Among the Ne
groes four families were given milk
for from 5 to 9 months; this was in
cases where the children had been ex
posed to tuberculosis. Eight Negro
families have been given temporary
help with food orders. Clothes and
shoes have been supplied needy school
children and some families as far as
funds would allow. The following Is

Favor Platt to Introduce Bible
Stndy in School of Moore County
Local Ministers to Conduct
Courses if Recommendation of
Principals is Approved
Ptincipals of the various high
schools of Moore couniy assembled in
the EilucO’ Club meeting went on rec
ord as \inanimously approving the
recommendation of the Board of Ed
ucation that, beginning with the
schocl year 1936-37, elective courses
in Bible shall be offered in ail high
schools in the county. This was ap
proved along with certain rules set
down by the board governing the
ccurscs, one of which is that said
courses are to be taught by local
ministers or their I’epresentatives in
each high .school area without cost to
the state, county or school district.
“I think it is the greatest oppor
tunity that has been presented to the
ministers in Moore county to con
tact the young pe pie and influence
them in better living," said County
Superintendent H. Lee Thomas in
conimnting on the action.
Other provisions are that two
courses may be offered in each .school
and that all .scheduled Bible courses
j completed according to the regular
! accredited State high school stand-
} ards shall can y full credit in the
same basis as other high .‘•chool
cruises. Credit not exceeding two
units will be given.
Said Bible courses shall be strictly
under the supervision of the high
school principal and superintendent of
the administrative unit, and any prin
cipal may with the approval of the
superintendent refuse credit for any
such courses that in liis judgment fail
to meet accredited high school
cour’ses.
I'ndenoniinatioiial
The board stipulates that all courses
shall be based upon the broad moral
and .spiritual principles of the Bible,
and denominational and controversial
questions avoided.
These couises w'i!' be placed on the
daily programs of all Ingh .-chools in
the county, and will be taught in
these places where the mini.sters wish
to take advantage of the opportunity.
While the board specifies that these
courses shall be strictly elective, Mr.
Thomas thinks that they will be very
popular and that a great many boys
and girls will elect them.
The propasition was started by the
Sandhill Ministerial Association in
November and the action was taken
at the request of this organization.
Other business transacted in this
meeting of the Educo Club, held in
the Carthage Hotel on Thursday even
ing, was the induction into office of
E. A. West to succeed F. W. Webster
as president, and E. A. Alexander to
succeed Ralph Wallace as ‘ecretary-
treasurer. A delicious dinner was
served.
LOCAL GIRLS BE.\T ELISE
BUT BOYS’ TEAM LOSES
The last basketball game of the
season was witnessed by a large
group of supporters who crowded into
the Southern Pines School auditor
ium. They saw the local girls come
through by the overw’helming score
of Southern Pines 39, Elise 9. The
leaders for Southern Pines were Ma
ples, who scored 14 of the total
points, with Cameron next with nine.
The boys were not so lucky. Elise
was the victor by one point. 29 to
28. Stroud led the local team with 12
points and Grover had nine. This de
feat fortunately has no effect on the
Southern Pines standing iii the tour
nament, the boys being in second
place.
Raid of Raids
Officers Capture 250-Gallon
“Still" on West End-Hoff-
man Road; Arrest One
The raid of raids was made by
Moore county officers on Monday
night when they located a distillery
about a mile off the West End-Hoff-
man road between the Carolina Pow.
er and Light sub-station and the
Manice orchard.
A steamer outfit of approximately
1250-gallon capacity was taken over
i by the officers along with approxi
mately 10,000 gallons of mash, 50 gal
lons cf liquor, and a ton of sugar.
One of the two alleged operators was
captured, a white man who gave his
: name as Charlie Kime of Liberty.
By the still were 132 empty 5-gal-
icn tin cans and 236 100-pound su
gar sacks from which the contents
had been u.sed.
Indications were that the plant had
been running day and night. The op
erators had a tent and camping
-quijirnent on the grounds. Although
there are not many houses in the
territory immediately surrounding the
!:jcation. there was a plain read
leading to the place.
Kime was lodged in the Moore
coun.y jail Monday night and on
Tuesday was turned over to Federal
av\th rities. Officers returned to the
scene of the unlawful activities on
Tuesday moi-ning to complete their
work of tearing down the plant.
Those making the raid were Officers
Grimm. Currie, Knight, Slack and
Lambert.

VASS LEAF YE.AK FAKTY
SOCIAL EVENT OF YEAR
Outstanding among the social ;
I events cf many seasons was the leap-
; year party held on Wednesday even-
j ing when a bevy of the most charm- ■;
1 ing young men of Vass were enter- '
I tained by local young women at a
I theatre party in Sanford. The group :
motored to the neighboring town in
auto.Ti -biles.
A, M. Calhoun, tall and debcjnair,
was becomingly attired in an import
ed brown ensemble cut foot-length.
He wore a modish felt hat, which he
removed upon entering the theatre.
With him was Katharine McMillan.
Albert Graham, petite and graceful,
wore a dark, tailored outfit with a
light-colcred shirt with attached col
lar. His only ornament was the tie-
clasp, which he wore partially con
cealed. Ethel Kirby was his escort.
Attractive "Pal” Eurey was never
lovelier than on this occasion when
the perfection of his blond coloring
was effectively brought cut by a shirt
of pastel .shade, which he wore with
darker accessories. He was escorted
by Katharine Graham. Among others
attractively gowned were Howard
Callahan, who was with Agnes
Smith; Clifton Blue, whose escort
was Anna Laubscher; “Pete” McRae,
who was with Myrtle McMillan;
Preston Matthews, who was escorted
by Helen Klingenschmidt, and Craw
ford Evans, Mary Frank McMillan.
After the show, the girls took their
guests to a nearby parlor for re
freshments.
KANN.AFOLIS VIC'TORIOl’S
The Southern Pines cagers journey
ed to Kannapolis Friday to meet the
Towel City boys in a return game

Little Wonders.
Minus the services of two of their
star players. Bob Beck and Frank
Buchan, the local quint displayed
gameness that kept the Kannapolis
lads in constant danger until the
final whistle. Bonds and Leazer were
outstanding for Kannapolis while
Stroud and Newton were best for the
losers.
