ARMSTRONG ON THE BENCH Having Judge Frank Arm strong presiding over the cur rent term of Superior Court in Carthage seems rather like hav ing one of our own on the bench. The judge is certainly a neigh bor, having come from Troy, and has sort of adopted Moore County, having now a home in Pinehurst and having taken as Tiis wife one of Pinehurst's fair er ladies, the former Miss Dor othy Ehrhardt. But even among his own folks, Judge Armstrong made this week a definite impression upon the habitues of the courtroom as a presiding officer who has respect for the dignity of the American courts and demands that all others display this re spect. There certainly was admira tion and respect intermingled with the awe of those who spoke [ of Judge Armstrong's business like handling of the court busi ness. Law officers were instruct ed to man the courtroom doors and stay right on duty to keep down all disturbances. "No cry ing babies" are needed in a room of justice, the Judge declared. The bar was cleared of all unnec essary visitors. There was to be no foolishness allowed'while the court was in session. His charge to the Grand Jury was fair but strong. His order for the investigation of Samar cand Manor pulled no punches; on the other hand, he did not condemn or pre-judge the situa tion; he merely said that reports called for investigation, to prove them right or to prove them wrong. American courts have not al ways been dispensers of genuine justice. Too often the judges and the cases and the entanglement of law have made a mockery of justice. Far rather would we have a presiding judge who took the dispensing of justice too ser iously than one who, as it were, dispensed with justice for the sake of a show. VANDALISM AND SABOTAGE There is sometimes under-1 standing, though perhaps no sympathy, for the person who commits a wrong for personal gain. At least, we feel, he was seeking to accomplish something, | even if he veered from the J straight and narrow path to do it. But there can be no under standing and absolutely no sym pathy for the vandal who seeks to allay his boredom by slashing the awnings of certain establish ments along Broad street. This sneak is diffiuclt to spot. Apparently with the use of a knife, he walks along the street, probably late at night, and reaches up to slash the awnings of stores. Some of them—such as franjeans—have been the victim more than once of this canvas slashing scoundrel. Because of the purposelessness of the crime and the quickness and ease with which it can be accomplished, police have ueen unable to get any trace of the vandal. Whoever it is is a worse crimi nal, though, in our opinion, than the man who may steal for gain. This person, however, stands to gain nothing, while not only do the stores lose, but they must drain again and again on a ma terial which is needed in wartime and which is not as abundant as it once was. At any time, such an action would be vandalism; in these days, it approaches sab otage. We hope whoever it is—is caught! THE Public Speaking i i i A STERNER PRIVILEGE To the Editor: Thank you for the editorial, "Our First Gold Star"—a worthy tribute to a notable youth and a stirring challenge to all the rest of us who must and may do something for the land and life we stand for. Late in the spring of 1917, I had occasion to offer a student a com- GRAINS €f A BROKEN ARM KEPT ONE couple in Southern Pines for two years and a half, and they regretted leaving last week to return to their home in Richmond. When Mr. and Mrs. J. Collins Lee came here about two and a half years ago, they in tended only to stay out the season. Mr. Lee met with an accident, how ever, broke his arm and was laid up in the hospital. They stayed through that summer, then through the next season, and then again through the past summer, liking the place so well that they disliked to go. Last week, though, they decided the broken arm of two years ago no longer afforded them an excuse for staying and they returned to Richmond. ALL WHO HEARD THE STORY were skeptical but Roy Grinnell says that John McMillan of Pinebluff can verify it. It's a golf story, of course, that happened some years ago when the number five hole on the "little course" was over 600 yards long and took a dog-leg to the left where the present green is, to parallel for sev eral yards the fairway of the num ber 13 hole on No 1 course. Roy says that one golfer came j around the dogleg on No. 5 and land- j ed near the edge of the rough, to | the right of No. 13. Mr. McMillan (we think it was) drove off the 13th and sliced. Just as he drove, the player on the other hole was address-1 ing his ball and just about to swing.! Mr. McMillan's ball, slicing, plop-1 ped against the other player's ball, | knocking it out from under the club- j head just as he swung through. Lt. Col. D. McEntee, of the para troopers, hearing Roy's story along; with Howard Burns, laughed a mum-1 bled something about it's taking a lot 1 of nerve to tell a tall tale like that, i OTIS BROOM, WHO WAS WITH the Carolina Power and Light Com J pany here and president of the Ro-1 tary Club until shortly before he ( volunteered as an officer's candidate in the U. S. Army, is now Lieut. Otis j Broom, if you please, and is sta- j tioned at Fort Logan, Colorado, with J the Air Force Technical Training j Command. Lieut. Broom graduated 1 from the Officers' Candidate School ! at Miami Beach last month and was assigned to duty at Fort Logan. Mrs. Broom has joined him there and they are at 575 E. Bates Avenue, Engle wood, Colorado. SOME OTHER FOLKS IN THE service who have been heard from re-! cently include Pharmacists Mate, 2nd 1 class, Lyle D. McDonald, now as signed to the Navy Department Sec- j tion Base at Ocracoke, N. C. McDon ald was sent there as an operating ! room technician . . . "I get the PILOT every week, and ! it is grand to hear and read about the folks back home. I wish that I could tell" you some of the things j about the base . . . but it is impossi-1 ble. One thing that I can say about I this place is that they serve very j good chow (meals). When the Navy puts you through a special school to learn a special type of work, they really teach you how to do it the best way. I have had an education in the past 10 months that I could 1 not obtain on the outside in three years ..." G. G. Ashton, better known as! "Jerry" Ashton, is now a corporal out at BL, . C-eneral Hospital, Bar racks 1, Camp White, Oregon . . . Bernard W. Leavitt, former South ern Pines youth, is now a private with the Special Training Detach | ment, Hunter Field, Savannah, Ga.; Tony Montesanti, inducted last fall, is a Tech. Sergeant at Bradley Field, Windsor Locks, Conn. . . . HARRY GOLDSMITH OF OUT Young's Road way is the proud pos sessor of a real New England anti que which came from Franconia, N. H„ nearly 50 years ago. This relic of another day and clime is a gen uine "sap yoke" once used for carry ing buckets of maple sap and is j now adapted for other uses by the present owner. Brought into the Sandhills by George Young, father of the late Willis Young about 1895, the yoke was then many years old. Usually these shoulder yokes were made for the user, as they were in dividually fitted for the shoulder and neck of the wearer. Louise Dickin son Rich in her unique story just published, "We Took to the Woods." has among other illustrations of life in the Rangeley Lakes section of Maine one of the sap gathering equipment in use. j mencement position unusually at tractive to an undergraduate. His re ply read: "I cannot remain for Commence ment. I have enlisted in the United States Army and a sterner privilege is before me." Privileges are often attractive. Sterner privileges now confront us. —WARREN F. SHELDON. Southern Pines, N. C., January 15, 1948. THE PILOT. Southern Pines.
