ANNUAL EDITION (Twenty Pages) SECTION ONE VOLUME 22. NO. 51. I*ilot Will Observe 22nd Hirllidav in New Offices \BK Each year brings now changes. In the Annual Edition of THE PILOT, last year, published November 14, 1941. the front page featured a picture of THE PILOT'S new Miehle V-3G job press. This year, in the Annual Edition, a picture of the new office addition to its old building. The concrete brick addition will house the edi torial and business offices of THE PILOT, and connects with the old building, which is entirely devoted to the printing plant. Pilot Now Occupies New Office Building James Boyd Acquires Jellison Properly and Builds Addition for Use by THE PILOT Next month, THE PILOT will ob serve the 22nd anniversary of its founding and its birthday will be marked mainly by its use of a new addition to its present location und the "sprucing up" of the north side of Pennsylvania avenue, between West Broad street and Bennett. With THE PILOT'S effort to con tinue to improve its commercial printing facilities and its newspaper publishing endeavor, it was found that the brick building into which the business had moved in March, 1941, was inadequate. James Boyd, president of The Pilot, Inc., and publisher of THE PILOT, purchas ed the adjoining lot and began erec tion this fall of a new concrete block addition, to house the offices and ed itorial rooms of THE PILOT. Upon completion of this addition, he pur chased from S. R. Jellison the ad joining building, so that the entire properties of THE PILOT are now housed in buildings owned by the publisher. Meanwhile, Frank Welch, operator of the Belvedere Hotel, became own er of the vacant lot between THE PILOT and Eddy's studio and he, with the aid of a couple of laborers, got to work on this old lot, which was overgrown and some filled with trash collected over a period of years. With Mr. Welch closely sup ervising, the lot was cleaned up, plants and shrubs planted and the hedge trimmed down to a somewhat respectable level.

Red( TOSS Gets New orkers New Officers Make Appeal to Women to Assist; Work Quarters in Hart Building New work rooms for the Southern | Pines branch of the Moore County Red Cross will be opened Monday, November 23, in the Hart Building, over Broad Street Pharmacy, for the sewing and knitting workers, it was announced this week by Mrs. Edith H. Mudgett, new branch chairman. These sewing and knitting rooms are being contributed to the Red Cross by Mrs. R. L. Hart, now of Reidsville. and they will K open daily from 10 a. m. to noon and from 2 to 4:30 p. m. Wool will still be dis tributed at the fire house by Mrs. Frank Kaylor, who also will give knitting instruction. The Straka building will still be headquarters for local surgical dressing work. Appeal for Workers In making these new arrange ments, the new officers, Mrs. Mud gett, Mrs. L. T. Avery, vice-chair man; and Mrs. G. H. Whittall, sec retary-treasurer, as well as the de partment chairmen, issued the fol lowing appeal to "all the women of Southern Pines.": "If you can sew, knit or roll band ap your Red Cross needs you! "There was a time when such work could be optional. Today it is a duty. The garments we sew or, knit now go to those in dire need. The facts about surgical dressings are startling and compelling. Commer jcial houses can furnish only a small j percentage of our military needs. The balance must be made by you j and other women all over the coun try—if our army is to be adequately supplied. "The local branch of the Red Cross is a well-organized, well-! equipped unit, with a good record for 1 past achievement. To better that rec- , ord, to redouble our efforts to meet the emergency, the crying need is for j more workers. "This is an appeal to the women j of Southern Pines who are not a part of that group—to newcomers, to i residents who have been busy about | other things. Join us in the work I rooms. Your Red Cross needs you!" j Pinedodgers to Plav Tourney on Tuesday The weekly tournament of The Pine Dodgers will bo run off Tues day, November 24. at the Southern Pines Country Club, in a best six out of nine competition.

Ways of Nazis Personally Experienced by County's New Red Cross Chairman Ives Worked for Years in Areas Now Scenes of World's Big Battles To the new chairman of the Moore County Chapter of the American Red Cross, the requisites of diplo- I macy, executive ability and under standing of the humane aims of the organization should come naturally. Ernest Linwood Ives, a Virginian by birth, has had nearly 30 years ex perience in the U. S. Diplomatic service, and most of that time was spent in places which are now the major hot-spots of the world, cre ating a heavier and heavier demand upon the services of the Red Cross. Algeria—which American forces have brought into news headlines during this week, with their taking command of the situation there— was Mr. Ives place for duty for three years. 1933-36, and in his mind he's able to follow about every move our forces are making. He and Mrs. Ives lived only two blocks from the French Governor General's palace in Algeria. "I'm thrilled with what Americans are doing," he said, "and am sorry I'm not there now. It's a swell job. One thing, the American boys are going to have a fine climate for the winter. It's something like the Sand hills climate over 'there." Personal Effects Bombed And if Mr. Ives should speak of the effects of war—this war—on civilian population and innocent by standers, he would have some per sonal knowledge of which he talks. | Almost all of the Ives' personal ef | fects were completely destroyed in I a Nazi bombing over Belfast. North ' crn Ireland, during May 5 and 6, 1941. Three vans of personal be longings. irreplacable items collect ed over a period of about a quarter of a century, were loaded on a dock at Belfast, ready to be shipped to this country. The Nazi came over and dropped their bombs. The entire load was destroyed. The efficient and essential work of the Red Cross is not new to Mr. Ives. During the last war he was as signed in Germany and when the United States declared war in 1917, he was transferred to Paris where he remained until 1923. During this per iod in Paris, he had many official connections with the American Red Cross working in France and was impressed with the quality and ex tent of the Red Cross work. Although officially retired from service, something like Army officers are retired, Mr. Ives is still on call from the State Department, in case he is needed. It looks as if this call won't come anytime soon, though, he| says, because there are plenty of State Department men on active duty who have been made available for new assignments because of the war with the Axis powers. In the course of his career as for eign service officer, Mr. Ives was sent, in turn, from Germany to Bud apest, Hungary, in 1917, to Paris, (Continued on Page Eight) Mrs. Holuhml Dies: Services in Chicago n Resident Here Since 1933 Passes After Period of Illness; Was 86 Years Old Mrs. William Holabird, resident of J Southern Pines since 1933, died here j Wednesday evening, after a period of ill health.

IVES Local Church Loses Taylor in January Pastor of Church of Wide Fellowship Resigns; Second Minister to Leave Here The Rev. Voigt O. Taylor, for over six years connected with the Church of Wide Fellowship, this as pastor of the Church to enter the itinerary of the Methodist Church. I His resignation is effective as of January 1. Mr. Taylor's resignation brings to two the losses of Southern Pines pas tors made known during the week The congregation of the Brownson Memorial Presbyterian Church last Sunday accepted the resignation of the Rev. E. L. Barber, who has serv ed as pastor of the Bethesda Presby terian Church since 1930 and in 1936 founded the Brownson Memorial | Church. His resignation becomes ef fective December 15, when he will leave for Metter, Ga., to become sup erintendent of Home Missions for Savannah Presbytery. A third loss of ministers in the Sandhills was the transferring by the Methodist Conference of Dr. S. A Maxwell, pastor of the Aberdeen- j Vass churches. Dr. Maxwell left last j Sunday to answer the call to the Cal- j vary Methodist Church in Durham. , He is succeeded by the Rev. Daniel i Lane, formerly of Roanoke Rapids, j Since October. 1936, when he as- j sisted the Rev. C .Rexford Raymond. ! his predecessor at the Church of \ Wide Fellowship, M \ Taylor has been active wtih the church and in September, 1937, he was made full time pastor. His resignation will be considered at a Church meeting this Sunday. In entering the itinerant service of the Methodist Church, Mr. Taylor will be subject to assignment by the Methodist Conference. There has been no indication as to his sue- j cessor here. The Church of Wide Fellowship is associated wtih the Congregational - Christian Church, but the Church does not confine its selection of pastors to ministers within that organization. A graduate of Duke University, ! Mr. Taylor continued his studies at ! Columbia University in New York j and has been commended for his j work with the local church. Ho and ' Mrs. Taylor have been active, not j only in the Church, but in the com-! munit.v since making their home here. They have two children.

M ANNUAL EDITION (Twenty Pages) SECTION ONE FIVE CENTS Of A * ? culosis Group Preparing to Launch its 1942 Seal Sale Local Chairmen Named for Christmas Drive; Association Meets Fri. The battle against tuberculosis continues, war or no war, and this week the Moore County Tuberculosis Association was completing plans for the annual Chrigtmas Seal sale to raise funds to carry on the work of the group. With a fine record of work estab lished during this past year, and previously, the Association will be seeking to achieve and surpass the record seal sale funds of 52,521.94 of last fall. In charge of the seal sale cam paigns in the various towns of Moore County will be the following chairmen, to work under direction of Mrs. T. A. Cheatham of Pinehurst, ! county chairman: Seal Sale Chairmen Mrs. J. B. Edwards, Aberdeen; Mrs. H. C. McPherson, Cameron; Mrs. Myrtle Cecil, Eagle Springs, Miss I Mary Black, Eureka, Mrs. R. H. Dowd, Glendon; Mrs. E. A. West, Hemp; Miss Lucy Reynolds, High j tails; Miss Lola Carter, Jackson I Springs; Mrs. Whelan Blue. Manly; j Mrs. G. P. Jones, Mount Holly Club; | Miss Florence Fowle.

Coch ran, West End; the Rev. W. L. Wor j fford, Carthage.* P. R. Brown, principal of West Southern Pines school will head a | Negro committee in the county for j the seal sale and other members are Mrs. Edna Taylor, secretary; Cecil 1* lag, treasurer; Mrs. Dora G. Dowdy, Mrs. B. F. Barnes and G. L. Turner. The County association will meet Friday, November 20. at the home of ' Mrs. Cheatham in Pinehurst, at 10:30 | a. m., for report of the year's activ j ities. Among the accomplishments of | the county association, which is sup ported by funds from the seal drive, in addition to an appropriation by the County Commissioners, was a county-wide tuberculosis clinic, con ducted in June, when 363 individuals i were examined. In this, the associa i tion was assisted by the Red Cross Nurses Aides and the Motor Corps. High School children were also ex amined for any signs of tuberculosis. Conducted Clinic The Association, besides caring for an average of 12 patients receiving treatment at State Sanitarium, looks after incurable cases, not admitted to the Sanitorium, those awaiting ad mittance and many who have return ed from the hospital but need care ful attention for full recuperation. In this work, the association provides cod liver oil, milk, and other essen tials to the complete recovery of the patients. Mrs. Cheatham, in emphasizing the importance of the seal sale this year, quoted Mrs. J. Melville Broughton, wife of the Governor, who is serving as State chairman for the drive: "This year, Christmas seal sale takes on added significance because of war conditions. Tuberculosis must be dealt with as an enemy to Amer ica's program of victory through strength. Christmas seals are the am munition for this battle." BYRNE HUEBER DIES AT SYRACUSE, N. Y.
