f # § # «!? ;ar Buy War Bonds TODAY- For Future Needs- VOLUME 24. NO. 33. County Passes Goal By Over $26,000 in 5th War Bond Drive Southern Pines. North Carolina. Friday. July 14. 1944. Five Towns Are Reporl- ed Over the Top, With "E" Bond Sales Lagging With an overall quota in the Fifth War Loan drive of $675,000.00, Moore County had been credited with $701,- 653.25 through July 11, County Chairman Eugene C. Stevens an nounced Thursday. However, the “E” quota of $338,000.00 is far behind with a credit of only $155,436.25. Southern Pines, Pinehurst, Rob bins, Pinebluff and Vass are over the top, Mr. Stevens disclosed. Sou thern Pines, with a quota of $199, 500, has sold bonds in the amount of $220,000. Pinehurst has gone over $200,000, with a quota of $126,300. Exact figures for Robbins have not been received, but this town is well over its $99,750 goal. Pinebluff and Vass, with quotas of $3,325, each, have reported $3,389 and $5,137, res pectively. Other towns are climbing toward their goals. Paul Jernigan and Mrs. George C. Moore, local chairmen, are pleased with the cooperation which they have received. Charlie Picquet has honored 175 free tickets at the Car olina Theatre, and the Sunrise also gave free admission to bond buyera during a part of the drive. A comparison of sales made by the two divisions shows that Southern Pines men will have to doff their hats to the local ladies, who have done a splendid work, surpassing their fine records in former drives. At the latest tabulation the women had sold $111,808.75, and the Stevens Office, the closest competitor, $82,- 477. Mrs. N. L. Hodgkins, county chairman of the Women’s Division, is delighted. TEN CENTS KILLED IN ACTION First Lt. Sidney Windham, 25, of the U. S. Marine Corps, has been killed in action on Sai pan, according to a message re ceived Saturday night by his pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Wind ham of Aberdeen. Lt. Windham, a graduate of Syracuse University, began his training at Quantico two years ago last September and had been overseas for sixteen months. He was in the South Pacific. No details of his death have been received. Surviving are his wife, the former Miss Priscilla Stewart, of Ridgewood. N. J.; his parents; two sisters, Mrs. Sidney P. Isen- burg of New Haven.

COUNTY GOLF TOURNEY First County Champion ship Will Be Played at Pinehurst This Summer The Montesanti brothers have bought the old Central Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue and are now supervising the dismantling of the in terior of that ancient structure. In an interview with a representative of THE PILOT, "Monte” and his brother Joe announced their inten tion of completely renovating the structure; their plans include the fitting out of a modern delicatessen, sales room and kitchen to occupy nearly all of the first floor, with one apartment on the second floor, and an attractive, modern front for the store and entrance. The building, erected in 1895 by the late H. H. Powell, was then one of the largest business structures of Southern Pines, and in the passing of time housed many diversified interests. With his sons, Henry and John N., Mr. Powell started an un dertaking and furniture business to which John succeeded in 1900, re maining in the building until 1913 Son of James Boyd Writes Tale of Sea The first Moore County amateur In 1912 the Home Furnishing Corn- golf championship will be played pany of Aberdeen leased the build- this summer at The Pinehurst Coun- ing, and they were followed by the try Club.

S. Coast Guard, appears in the current July number of the Atlantic Monthly with a contribu tion: “Lookout.” This episode of the lookout in his icy perch in the crow’s nest, seven ty feet above the deck of a plung- ihg rolling vessel, is a vivid portray al of just one phase of the bitter hardships undergone by our seamen, be they members of the armed ser vices or of the merchant marine. Our tradition is of the sea though many of the young lads, now able seamen, never saw salt water or a living (ship until they rallied to their country’s call. Young Boyd, however, is a real sailor, having’ with his brother and their father sailed the coast of Maine since early childhood. It is a real pleasure to find a seaman writing of the sea and, even more, to find this son fol lowing so closely in his father’s footsteps. This is James Boyd, Jr.’s first story. It is interesting to recall that his father’s first story also appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, while, in the issue of May, 1944, appeared his last poem, “Echoes of Earth”. Sever al months before James Boyd’s death, he read his son’s sketch and made the comment: “Good work. You’ll get that published.” When Ed ward Weeks, editor of the Atlantic, told him he planned to publish Lookout” in July, he was deeply satisfied, but, he said, “not sur prised”. It is to be hoped that Quartermas ter Boyd will carry on in the tradi tion of his father and, out of his own hard won experience, give us other living pen pictures of those that go down to the sea. uvian General Staff; and Col.

She was given six months in jail, to be transferred to a girl’s reform atory if such transfer can be effect ed, sentence to be suspended upon payment of the costs and upon fur ther condition that the money taken in these cases be returned to the owners and that the defendent go back to her home in East Chicago, Ind. It was stipulated that she have her ticket before being released. Mrs. Jillson was still in jail at noon Tuesday, but her husband was hopeful of having the necessary ar- rangements for hor rolease made. James Reed Harris ,18-year-old Negro of Aberdeen, entered a plea of guilty to a charge of taking a poc ketbook containing $14 and checks from Miss Allie McIntosh’s Antique Shop, and John Henry-McAlister, 15, pleaded guilty of receiving the prop erty. A tentative" budget for Moore County which sets the tax rate at 90 cents on the $100 valuation was adopted by the County Commission ers at their meeting Monday. This is an increase of 15 cents over the rate of the previous year. As explained to THE PILOT, this increase is due to two factors: The decrease in revenue from the Moore County A. B. C. Board as a result of less profits caused by the inability to obtain merchandise necessitated an increase in the rate of eight cents; additional provision has been made for the expansion of schools includ ing equipment and buildings which necessitated a seven-cent increase. With the aim of rendering aU pos sible service as polio spreads toward this section, the Moore County Chap ter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis met Friday even ing at the Nurses’ Home of the Hos pital. The Chapter invited members of the County Board of Health, and also a group associated with the Hospital, to join with them in a dis cussion of the whole problem.

Cheatham of Pinehurst, requesting the Board of Health to take immed iate steps to bar all children under sixteen from public gatherings of ev ery sort within the County, until fur ther notice. Members of the Health Board promised that this resolution would receive early consideration. O. Leon Seymour of Aberdeen, chairman of the Chapter, presided, and called on various speakers to dis cuss preventative measures and pre parations for care if polio appears. E. T. McKeithen, administrator of the Hospital, reported that the in stitution has only limited accomo dations for isolating a disease such as infantile paralysis, but promised that everything possible would -be done for patients who may be ad- mittod. Dr. M. W. Marr and Dr. Clement R. Monroe spoke on the medical as pects of polio.
