‘HIGH HOPES’ OF APPROVAL
The Sandhills will have another
Civilian Conservation Corps camp if
C'fforts launched by J. D. Chalk,
North Carolina Commissioner of
Game and Inland Fisheries, in con-'
Junction with United States Sena,
tor J. \V'. Bailey meet with s;;''f'ess.
The Sandhills Land Use project I
near Hoffman is the proposed site
for the camp, and it is pnrbahle
that the idea has behind it the util
ization of this property which was
cleared and developed at great ex.
pense by the federal g’ovemment and
then turned over to the State. Little
use has been made of the extensive
acreage by the public. It is ideally |
located and equipped for a CCC camp, j
with a made lake, a system of roads,'
and a number of buildings. This plan j
■might bs the ideal solution of the j
problem of getting out of the prt>p.
erty some of the money spent upon
it.
According to a despatch from
Washington, Mr. Chalk stopped off
there en route to Raleigh after de.
livering an addres.s before the Dart,
mouth Club in New York City earlier
this week. He conferred with Sena
tor Bailey and officials of the Bu
reau of Fisheries and Biological Sur.
vey. Following these talks, he said
Tie had "high hopes” of receiving
approval of the plan to establish
the camp which would construct duck
and fish ponds and undertake wild
life improvement throughout the
area.
The CCC camp formerly located
between Southern Pines and Fort
Bragg was abandoned some time ago.
Through the generosity of a
"friend,' 'the Moore County Hospital

After Witnessing Rescue. Finds
C P- & L- Crew Was Just
Practicing Life Saving
As two young women drove up to
the Carolina Power & Light place
in Southern Pines Tuesday afternoon,
they were horrified to see the limp
form) of a man dangling half.way
down from a high pole, from which
he was being lowered with a rope
and tackle by fellow workmen.
A second glance revealed that it
was the husband of one and brother,
in-law of the other. They were panic,
stricken.
The body was placed upon the
ground and efforts at artificial res
piration were begun.
Trembling with fear, the two
young women rushed into the group,
whose levity did not seem to fit in
with the occasion, and found that
the linemen were only engaging in
a practice of life.saving with David
Gillis as the victim.

The desire to have his life count
for service led Dr. Bradford to en
ter the medical profession. He felt i
very strongly that while earning a
livlihood one could also render ser.
vice to God and man. Those close
to him in his work and many who
have cdme under his care know how
lully he is using his medical career
in that way.
Dr. Bradford studied medicine at
the University of Pennsylvania Med.
ical School, graduating in 1928. He

noted Dr. Polak, who was regarded
as the leading obstetritian In this

Charlotte where he worked with Dr.
Addision Brenizer well known sur.

geon. Later, for six months, he was
in complete charge of the obstetrical
division of Belleview Hospital, New
York City, where he gained wide ex-
perience in handling the thousands of
cases that came under his supervis.
ion. Upon receiving his license to
practice medicine in North Carolina
in 19o0, he located in Charlotte.
Work Among the Poor
He has been actively Interested in
expansion and pro<>ision of maternal
care among the poorer rural areas of
North Carolina. He is the author of
numerous articles in reJation to ma

several years he has been director
of the Charlotte Maternity Clinic,
an organization naanned by senior
students and internes cf Duke Un.
