SOUTHERN PINES Lost Hand, Si^ht and Hearing; Impaired, Is Claim in Action Started in Superior Court Danves Singletary, by his next friend, W. J. Singletary, has this week started suit in Moore county Superior Court against W. Fletcher Ritter and wife of near Hemp to re cover damages in the amount of $20,- 000 for Injuriea sustained by the child in playing with dynamite caps alleged to have been carelessly left in an out house near the building oc cupied by Singletary and his fam ily on the Ritter lands. According to the complaint, prior to the time that the Singletary fam ily moved to Ritter’s place in Novem ber 1936, a quantity of dynamite had been used on the farm and the small quantity left had been placed in an open pasteboard box and stor ed over the door of the granery, the box protruding over the timber on which it rested. Danves, then ten years of age, found some of the metal dynamite caps on the floor, the complaint sets forth, and carried them home as playthings, not knowing anything of their highly explosive character. \n January 7th of last year while cleaning one of the caps with a nail, it exploded, permanently injur ing and disfiguring him. Pieces of the car and nails were driven into his face, his left hand was so ser iously destroyed that it had to be amputated, the major part of the sight of one eye was destroyed, the child was rendered deaf in one ear and his speech and mind affected, it is alleged.

Four teen days of the month were bright and clear, eight partly cloudy and six cloudy. These cloudy days precipi tated a total of less than one inch of rain, and snow flurries on the 25th' and 26th were so slight as to be un measurable. The highest temperature for the month was 78 degrees on the 10th, and the lowest, 22 degrees on the 28th. Ninety-seven one-hundreths of an inch of rain, 3:06 less than the normal expectation, brought the de ficiency for the year to nearly four inches. Temperatures for the month range’d above normal, the maximum six degrees, the minimum one de gree, and the average 3.5 degrees. Long time Max.

Treatment of Townsend | Scored by Local Club| I southern Pines Orj^anization En dorses Recent Statement Is sued by 25 Congressmen A recent statement drawn up and signed by 25 members of Congress' was heartily endorsed this week by | Townsend Club No. 1 of Southern Pines, of which E. C. Loomis is president and Addie L. Veazie is sec retary. The statement follows: "For three months, Dr. Townsend kept certified public accountants, who had examined the books of the Townsend organization, ready to take the stand before the Bell investigat ing committee to give their testi mony, “The Bell committee refused to lioar them. “The next step of the committee to prevent the truth from getting out was to deny him a right that had been accorded to J. P. Morgan, Thomas W. Lamont, Pierre du Pont and other bankers and industrial ists of America—namely, a state ment by the witness (Dr. Townsend) as to the origin .organization, and nature of the Townsend Plan. “It was because Dr. Townsend was denied these fundamental rights, rights accordeil to other witnesses, that he walked out of the hearing after having testified for three days, and was subsequently cited for con tempt. “Dr. Townsend will carry the is sue to the Supreme Court. We wish to affirm our faith in the Town send Plan, as embodied in H. R. 4199, and we pledge ourse’.ve.s to continued support of that great re covery plan which will restore the purchasing power which v/iil mean well-being and prosperity f>r Amer ica."
