THE PILOT
Dear Sirs:
I’m afraid John Bross Lloyd of
Pinehurst is getting to be sort of a
Sandhills nuisance. At a time when
the United States mails are more
crowded than ever in their history,
he is taking up space needlessly. He
should go asid'e, kneel down, and
pray to God for another revelation.
The majority of Mr. Lloyd’s fellow-
citizens are busy—they are fighting
a war.
Yours sincerely

PULPWOPD VITAL
TO RED CROSS
Unless there is a continual
How of pulpwood into the mills
the American Red Cross will be
severely handicapped in its far
flung missions of mercy among
the Allied service men overseas.
The Red Cross drive this
month ' and the Victory Pulp-
wood Campaign have a similar
objective: to help American
fightirig men wherever they may
be. Pulpwood does its part by
protecting their equipment, med
ical supplies, and food in tran
sit to the battlefront. More than
2500 medical items are packed in
paper. Pulpwood makes the sur
gical dressings and supplies the
blood plasma containers which
Red Cross field men use in sav
ing the lives and easing the pain
of the wounded.
Every box of food, candy, and
tobacco that goes to American
prisoners of war in enemy ter
ritory is packed in paper-board
made of pulpwood.
Many of us cannot give the
service men the personal atten
tion that they get from the Red
Cross. Our job is on the home
front. But we can make their
tasks easier, their lots more com
fortable. We may indirectly save
their lives. Pulpwood is our med
ium.
Contribute generously to the
Red Cross and cut pulpwood for
American fighting men every
where.

Thursday afternoon at her home on
Bethesda Road. This was the annual
business meeting and the present of

was voted to contribute five dollars
0 the Red Cross war drive.
Following the business session a
delightful program was given. Mrs.
Lockey prepared and read an inter

and Mrs. Harrison sang several sel

FACTS and FIGURES
An interesting and eye-open
ing summary of the accomplish
ments of the North Carolina
Highway Patrol during the year
1943 was recently printed as an
editorial in the Raleigh Times
under the heading, “Safe, Sane
Service of Patrol Benefits State”.
We reprint the article, and join
the Raleigh Times in extending
a hand to the Patrol:
A hand to the N. C. State High
way Patrol, the busy outfit on its
toes during the year 1943!
Official report of Motor Vehicle
Commissioner Ward discloses these
details of Patrol activities during
the past calendar year:
The personnel, reduced from 212
to 186 members, traveled more than
six million miles, and put in 837,
736 man hours of duty.
Investigated 2,556 accidents in
which 437 persons were killed and
2,011 injured.
Recovered 749 stolen cars, weigh
ed 4,598 vehicles; gave first aid in
104 instances; investigated 40,867
complaints; made 35,805 arrests with
33,473 consequent convictions car
rying 33,501 sentences totaling 1,-
329 years.
Caught 2,511 persons driving
drunk; inspected 430,992 vehicles and
issued 46,032 citations other than
warrants for arrest.
Dr. and Mrs. P^rry have moved
into their beautiful new home on
Ridge street. This is one of the most
attractive in construction and loca
tion of the smaller homes of South
ern- Pines.
Mrs. Edward E. Sawtelle dies.
1914
Landlord Reynolds of the Jeffer
son has had a new and first class
tennis court constructed on the lot
next to Mrs. Cameron’s millinery
store.
Mr. Gould has placed the shade

houses on May street.
schemes and thinking, starts brush
ing his hair, considers the other
boys, learns to play within the rules
of the game. Boys in a cub pack
have wholesome outlets for energy,
get an idea of what honesty and
good fellowship mean, see prospects
of a future not associated with al
leys and vacant lots.
So Inany fathers and mothers are
using so much of their time in so
many things pertaining to the army
that they do not have the time to
devote to the welfare of their boys
that they otherwise would.
We read so much in the papers rel
ative to child delinquency. The above
paragraph no doubt has a lot to do
with it. In my observation not only
the parents are neglecting their chil
dren, BUT the churches have fallen
down in doing what they might do
in entertaining the boys in the way
Engagement Announced
Announcement was made last
week of the engagement of Miss May
Rhyne to Jackson Dowless, the wed
ding to take place in the early
spring. Miss Rhyne is the elder dau
ghter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Rhyne.
She holds a position at Camp Mack-
all. Mr. Dowless is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. Clarence E. Dowless, of Lau-
■inburg. He is employed at the Sea

Of course the value and success
of a cub pack depends a lot on its
leadership. It requires a lot of time
and work for the cub master; the
cub master heeds and must have old
er boy scouts to serve as Den Chiefs;
the fathers and mothers should take
an interest in Den meetings, also
in Cub Pack meetings. One of the

are other facts and figures worth
noting:
County treasuries of the State re
ceived $947,062 in fines and other
charges collected lor violations of
the State’s motor vehicle laws. This
figure exceeded by $170,286 the en
tire expense, $776,776, which the
Highway Patrol cost the State dur-l
ing the year.
The grand total of money collect
ed and property recovered was more
than a million and a third dollars.
These tangible results, however,
from a set-up which at times has
been frowned upon, laughed at and
sniped at, represent only a part of
its real value. The presence of well-
trained, alert, and usually nice look
ing patrolmen has restrained many
a would-be violator to hesitate. To
think of what might have often hap
pened without such service, could
make one shuddeh. The marvel is,
how so few did so much, from which
so many of us benefit.
