TWO VALUABLE ^GAMZATIONS There are two little publicized organizations in the Sandhills which are doing so much good in their quiet way something should be said about them. One of these is the Moore County Educational Foundation Offspring of the Kiwanis Club, this foundation has been func tioning for some 15 years in the interest of educating worthy young men and women of the community beyond their high school courses. The fund was originally raised by gifts from public spirited citizens and an occasional benefit performance of some kind. It now operates on the money repaid it by those Who have completed their edu cation and become self-support ing. Each year applications are received from graduates of high schools in the county who desire to attend institutions of high er learning but whose financial condition makes it impossible without help. These applications, accompanied by letters of rec ommendation from school prin cipals and prominent citizens, are culled by the directors of the foundation, and those applicants adjudged most worthy and most likely to make the most of such advanced education are allotted loans from the funds available. There are some half dozen young men and women in colleges now, thanks to these loans. Richard Tufts has been the tireless treasurer of the fund for years and has the record of just how many young people have been aided by it—it must be around a hundred. There are doctors, lawyers, merchants, tea chers and others in the Sandhills and scattered about North Car olina today who owe their live lihood to the help rendered by this fund. A few years ago Mrs. Morti mer G. Nichols of Southern Pines conceived the idea of a birthday club to aid the Moore County Hospital. This is an other local charity which one hears little about, but it has done and is doing a remarkable work. Mrs. Nichols and others interested in the club have in terested hundreds in joining.! There are no fixed dues. Each' year, on your birthday, you re The main object of the bill was to prevent Congress and the President—any Congress and any president—from taking has ty action in precipitately drag ging this country into a foreign war. 188 House members voted FOR, with 209 voting AGAINST it. Let us examine the surpris ingly heavy vote for this alleg edly extreme measure in the light of the following historical facts. At no time in the life of our country has any president rushed the Nation into a foreign war, nor has Congress at any time voted a declaration of war until after the public demand for war had drowned out every opposing voice, and there re mained no other way for ap peasing the people; that Presi dents William McKinley and Woodrow Wilson, respectively, shunned war almost to the point of sacrificing personal prestige, and it was freely charged of both that they could not be “kicked into war”; that Presi dent oosevelt and Secretary Hull have consistently and un mistakably indicated their de termination for keeping the country at peace. It might be correctly stated, too, that Craiis u im Stanley Reed, named last week to the United States Supreme Court by President Roosevelt, was a Pinehurst guest last spring. He came down in the party of Attorney General Homer Cummings for a week of golf. Mr. Reed at that time was Solicitor-Gen eral of the United State. He succeeds Justice George Sutherland on the Su preme Court bench. There’s an after-holiday lull in the Sandhills each year which sends everyone’s spirits down. We’re al ways convinced the season is going to be a flop—after such a nice start. Hotels complain of empty rooms, merchants of lack of patronage. Cheer up. We hear this week that the folks are beginning to come again. We’ve seen several hotel men smiling. The golf courses are get ting busier. You’ve just been going through the calm after the Christmas storm. Notwithstanding the steadily grow- no ing theory that the government President and no Congress could i should take care of everything, it drag us in to a war against pub-; appears that the generous Impulses lie sentiment—that simply can not be done in this country. In the light of all this the near approach to a majority vote in Congress for the so called radi cal Ludlow war referendum amendment is significant. The result indicates a very healthy trend toward peace at any reasonable price. It further indicates that to Congress it is no longer sufficient for one man—any man—to solemnly promise to keep us out of war. It is not enough, according to the 188 who voted for the bill, for Congress—any Congress—a mere handful of men, and being men vulnerable to human weak nesses, themselves beyond fight ing age, to be able at will to lead our sons into the trenches of blood and murder. A GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE “Today our most important task is to stimulate and develop a genuine co-operation between the principal functional groups in our society , . . “Business recession, I believe, can best be overcome by a policy on the part of government which will promote greater co-opera tion and understanding between business, the workingman, the farmer and the consumer . . . “Government must instill in all groups faith and confi dence in the future. In turn, each of these groups must trust in and co-operate with govern ment and with each other . . . “If one group is not adequate ly compensated and protected, the others soonor or later will suffer. Business cannot prosper at the cost of labor. Labor can not prosper by destroying bus iness.” The above, from Governor Herbert Lehman’s first mes- of Americans of means have not been damped, says the New York Her. ald-Tribune. The John Price Jones Corporation, which for the last sev en years has kept a record of philan thropies in the United States, reports that preliminary figures show that gifts and bequests in New York, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston total more than $148,000,000 in 1937 as compared with $105,910,706 in 1936—and this despite the sharp drop in the general index. There were two unusually large be quests in 1937: one $50,000,000 from Charles Hayden for the education of boys and young men and the advan cement of their well-being; and the $15,000,000 bequeathed by George F. Baker for various purposes. There were two notable gifts; $10,000,000 from Starling W. Childs to Yale Un iversity for cancer research, and the same amount given by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., for economic research. In the language of science, all this means that American industry and business are continuing to pay sub stantial "social dividends.” In other words, rich Americans still feel the desire to do some good with their money.

This card serves as a reminder that you are a member of the club, the purpose of which is to lend sup port to the hospital.

SAFETY CONSIDERED FIRST IN AUTOMOBILE ACCESSORIES The current number of the maga zine, Pictorial Review, has a murder mystery story laid right here in the Sandhills. In fact the murder is com mitted in “Sandhurst,” and Aber deen, Pinehurst and Southern Pines are mentioned without equivocation. The story is by Leslie Ford, a pro lific writer of detective stores in many of the popular magazines. In real life Leslie Ford is Mrs. Ford Brown, who lives in Annapolis, Mary, land and who used to visit South ern Pines frequently in the day when a friend of hers, another prominent 1 woman writer, Maude Parker, now Mrs. E.

The idea originally was to stimulate interest among the younger generation in the insti tution at Pinehurst—and it still is the primary purpose. But Mrs. Nichols tells us that she has as many “oldsters’ ’enrolled now as children, and that her receipts vary in size from the mites of the little ones to nice big checks. Other Birthday Clubs have been started in the county fash ioned along the same line. You are cordially invited to join one. It’s a fine way to help.

Douglas, manager of Chevrolet’s parts and accessories department. "The motoring public, along with civic-minded organizations through out the country, is paying more and more attention to safety on the high ways,” Mr. Douglas declared. “This is largely the result of concerted campaigns which have been sponsor ed to a large extent by automobile manufacturers themselves. "While all automobile accessories try to effect improvements to the comfort and conveniencee of motor- comfort andcon venience of motor ed with increasing motoring safety. “Chevrolet accessories are custom- built, engineered especially to Chev rolet cars. They add to the inherent beauty of the car and they increase driving comfort and convenience. Their primary function, however, is to give Chevrolet drivers the advan tages of the latest developments in safety devices."
