He referred to the five year plan in the Soviet Na tion as the means for preparing Russia for the attack by Germany and declared that United States engineers had helped the Rus sians tremendously in the defense of their country. He spoke briefly of the U. S. Senate Committee visiting in Rus sia, but they were unable to see very much of what was going on at that time.

He volunteered, and was turned down on account of his eyes, but was later called, just as he had I his belongings packed to go to Chapel Hill to college after com pleting his work at Berry School for Boys in Rome, Ga. He was in ducted in December 1943, and trained at Camp Barclay, Texas, and Camp Reynolds, Pa. He is now in France, where he is "fighting yellow jackets under an apple tree,” as he wrote his aunt, Mrs. Robert Stewart of Pinebluff, with whom the five boys have made their home since the death of their mother.

Frank Patto» Raps ‘‘Machine” Rule Republican Candidate for Governor Draws Large Crowd to Rally Frank Maples Resigns As Member of School Board In a well attended and enthus iastic Republican rally held in the courthouse in Carthage Tues day night. Prank Patton of Mor- ganton. Republican candidate' for governor, attacked certain politi cal machinery he said exists in North Carolina, and said the real issue in the State is whether this small group will be permitted to continue to dominate the Legis lature. "There is a political machine in North Carolina and the real is sue is whether we will continue to allow these political leaders to select our governor and State of ficers and dominate the Legisla ture for the benefit of those whose will they are obliged to obey,” he declared. “The machine”, said Patton, “brazenly and insistently refuses to let th^ free people of the State determine by their vote whether liquor is to be legally manufac tured and sold in the State. Local government in many of the coun ties has been taken away from the people by legislative enact ment”, he charged. “State employ es in some places have been co erced into taking from their small pay checks a percentage of their pay to support this machine in the campaign”, he asserted. Frank Maples, for twenty years a valuable member of the South ern Pines School Board, tendered his resignation last week and the Board accepted it with reluctance. He resigned because pf the state of his health and the press of other duties. Dr. G. G. Herr, who has been chairman of the Board for the past fourteen years, expressed deep regret at losing Mr. Maples, and paid high tribute to his fine service. The chairman credited him with being instrumental in securing a heavy vote for the nine months’ term and said that he was especially sorry to see him drop out at this time when a building program is being plan ned, in which his good judgment would be so helpful.

Music will be by Woody Hayes and his orchestra from Raleigh and the Ball will get under way at 9:00 o'clock. AMERICAN LEGION Real Estate Sale for County Taxes Set for Dec. 4th Board Authorizes.

SEAMAN CARL HENDRICK Carl Hendrick, seaman 2lc, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Hendrick of near Vass, was lost when the U. S. destroyer Warrington was sunk in the recent Atlantic hurri cane. Seaman Hendrick, a former student of Vass-Lakeview high school, had beeri in the service about four months. Scanlon Resigns As USO Director Effective Nov. 1 CONGRATULATIONS THE PILOT congratulate^ and extends best wishes to the Sand hills Funeral Home, operated by A. Bynum Patterson, on its fourth aiiniversary of service to the Sandhills. This funeral home, which has enjoyed a steady growth, is now a member of the National Funeral Directors As sociation, and has the official as signment for Camp Mackall. Walter A. Scanlon, who suc ceeded George Ferry as director of the Southern Pines USO in June, is resigning November 1st to return to public relations in New York, Washington, D. C., and Hollywood, Calif., where he for merly resided and followed a pub lic relations career. During his stay here Mr. Scan lon, an enthusiastic worker, has placed much emphasis on enter tainment and has planned many programs of spicy variety for the enjoyment of the service men and Army wives of the community, and has added to the club equip ment. After three years in war work with the British Government and USO, traveling and working in deserts, mountains, cities and towns all over the United States, Mr. Scanlon will return to his wife and daughter, whom he has seen only a few times in the last three years. Mr. Scanlon enjoyed his stay in Southern Pin\;s and wishes to thank the residents for their co operation in assisting him enter tain the men in the Armed Forces. to Get Into Drive and Help Put it Across Moore County’s campaign for the Community War Fund, repre senting the National War Fund, will start Monday, October 9, un der the leadership of Chairman W. P. Saunders of Robbins and continue for two weeks. The coun ty quota is $11,875, $1,500 of which will be used for Boy Scout work. The National War Fund is a federation of all the major war- related philanthropies, except the Red Cross. Here are some of the needs for finances this year, which this fund will help meet: USO Clubs, prisoners of war, aid to merchant seamen, food for starv ing Allies, seeds for the scorched earth in China and other coun tries, medicines to fight the plagues which follow the wake of war, clothing in many countries where there has been no great production of civilian clothing for years, and needs in the com munity, arising from war-time conditions. The need for finances is greater this year than ever. More young Americans are in the services, more are abroad, and they need the things which this fund sup plies in order to make life more bearable and to keep up their morale. The need of our Allies (Contiiued on Page 8) GROWING UP New Nurses’ Aide Class Will Begin Monday, October 9 A class to train Nurses’ Aides will begin next week, October 9, at the Nurses’ Home, Moore Coun ty Hospital, with Mrs. Holzworth as teacher. The hours will be from nine to twelve, Monday through Friday, until the pre scribed 80 hours have been com pleted. There is little reason to re state the need for Nurses’ Aides. Our wounded men returning from combat areas are testimony enough. Over optimism about the end of wartime conditions does not include in its program a cut back in this increasingly impor tant ‘ Volunteer Service. Rather the reverse is true. It appears now that for several years Nurses’ Aides will be recruited. The class will be limited in number to fifteen. Those interest ed can get application blanks at Red Cross Headquarters in South ern Pines or at Moore County Hospital, and are urged to do so at once. Unlike “Topsy”, Tot’s Toggery is Really growing up and has cele brated its 10th birthday. The fam iliar “Dear Julie” and “Penny” gave place in last week’s ad to “Dear Customers” and the signa tures of Katherine Wiley and Erma Fisher in a cordial an niversary message. This gives THE PILOT the opportimity to wish them all of the best in their eleventH year. Club House Rebuilt, Redecorated and Many Improvements Added BY CHARLES MACAULEY Within the passing of a few more days the club house of the Southern Pines Country Club will echo to the voices of its members and visitors, replacing the rasp of saws, taps of hammers and swish of paint, brushes that per vaded the building as its transfor mation kept pace with the advent of Autumn. In more ways than its attrac tion for followers of the game Sou thern Pines has been fortunate in its Country Club. It is virtu ally impossible to visualize the town without the golf courses in their picturesque setting almost within a stone’s throw of the heart of town, so accessible, in fact, that the club property has served the community as a park, fascinating to all lovers of out- of-doors with its glimses through the close set trees to sunlit pools and- shadow-dappled fairways, vistas through the tall pines to the far-off hills crowned in blue haze and shadows, distant views over the expanse of green sward and tree-lined valleys to' the bulk of Paint Hill and the blue ridge far beyond Aberdeen, and to the dark crest of Mt. Hope. The fairways are veritable path ways to the little valleys with their springs and water hazards where the air is still, warm and fragrant in the brilliant winter sunshine, a delight to every fol lower of the game. Fully alive to the great need of a community building and the dangerous condition of the main structure of the club house, the Mayor and Board of Commission ers six months ago asked the voters of Southern Pines to ratify proposals for the issuance of bonds totaling $45,000 for the purchase of th^ club and golf course and improvement for the same. $33,000 was for the purchase of the site (Continued on Page 5) 4-DAY SALES WEEK FOR TOBACCO MARTS The Tobacco Association of the United States, controlling body in the auction system, announced Tuesday that all tobacco mar kets now open would be closed each Monday until a current con gestion in factories and ware houses is alleviated.
