TEN CENTS Four Are Injured, One Fatally, When Car, Truck Crash Robert K. Guin Dies Ib Hospital After Wreck Near Qarthage Robert Kenneth Guin, 19, was fatally injured and his brother, J. W. Guin, and two companions, Lonnie Bullard and Martin Simp son, all of the Carthage commun ity, were less seriously hurt around three o’clock Monday morning when a car owned and driven by Robert Guin collided head-on with an A. and P. truck on the Carthage-Sanford highway near the State Prison Camp just out of Carthage- There were no eyewitnesses, but the accident was reported to authorities in Carthage soon after it occurred, by the driver of a Carolina Trailways bus. The four injured men were rushed to the Moore County Hos pital, where Robert Guin was found to have a fractured skull and crushed chest. He died about two hours after being admitted. J. W. Guin suffered a knee injury, but after having it treated was able to return home. Bullard, with a fractured ankle, and Simpson, with injuries to his shoulder and head, are still in. the hospital. The driver of the A. & P. truck was not injured, so far as The Pilot has been able to learn, but both vehicles were badly damag ed. Coroner R. G. Frye, Jr., and Sgt. W. B. Kelly of the State Highway Patrol are investigating the cause of the accident. Funeral services for Robert Guin, son of Dan R. Guin and wife, Ada Baker Guin, were held at Eureka Presbyterian Church on Route 3, Carthage, Tuesday afternoon with the pastor, the Rev. W,! S. Golden, in charge. Surviving are the parents; one brother, J. W. Guin; and two sis ters, Misses Margaret and Edna Guin, of the hortle. ANY MAGS TODAY?

He pointed out the University had appropriated the sum of $100,000 for the study of alcohol and its effect in various stages on the human being. He explained alco hol is tjie best sedative there is and it is found not to be a stim ulant. He said that at Yale the group had the benefits of lectures given, by men from various walks of life such as judges, attorneys, busi ness men, ministers, and' brewery- men, in order that they might ap proach the subject from its var ious angles. The speaker was introduced by John Ruggles, chairman of the Program Committee. Preceding the address, Presi dent Burney read a telegram from Hamilton Holt, president of the . Kiwanis International, to President Harry Truman, pledg ing the cooperation of Kiwanis International in directing the peace. Paul Jernigan read a victory message from President Holt. T Carolinas Have Full Horse Show Schedule Lyle B. McDonald, Jr., PH l|c, veteran of two years in the Pacif ic, arrived at the Raleigh airport late Wednesday night where he was met by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. D. McDonald, and bi'ought to Southern t’ines. This was the first time “Bud dy” (as most folks in Southern Pines call him) had been home in over two years with the excep tion of a few days spent here in May. He will spend a 20-^day leave with his family herd before returning to Norfolk, Va., where he has been transferred to the 15th Naval District Headquarters. During his months in the Pacif ic, “Buddy” has received two sil ver stars, four bronze stars, the Navy Good Conduct Medal, and the following ribbons: American Theater of War, Asiatic Pacific Theater of War, and the Philip pine Liberation Bar. Scott Gray of Raleigh, an old friend of “Buddy’s”, who was re cently liberated from a German POW camp, returned to Southern Pines with the McDonalds to spend several days. Second on the full program of eight horse shows, scheduled in the Carolinas for the next three months, is the York County event to be held at Rock Hill on Wed nesday, August 29.

The Statesville show is set for Septem ber .21-22; Mooresville show, Sep tember 22; Mount Airy, Septem ber 28-29; and the Robeson coun ty event October 5-6 at Lumber- ton. The horse show program for 1945 has been a very active one in the Carolinas in spite of re stricted transportation which was relieved recently by the release on gas. Boastful Negress Guilty in Knife- Chopping Scuffle Indignant Wives Apply Fist-Aid To Roving-eyed Widow A lively session of the Moore County Recorder’s Court took place Monday morning at Carth age when Georgana Allmond (Ne gro) 44-year old “grass-widow”, was adjudged guilty of assault with deadly Weapon on two younger Negro women on a high way near Robbins. The defendant was charged with knifing her two companions as the trio was coming home one evening from a cornival pear Robbins. Georgana, who was married sev eral years ago but is not living with her husband, was said to have boasted brazenly of “run ning around” with the other two women’s spouses, which nettled the wives no little. They grew so indignant that a moment later they were applying “first aid” to ,Georgana, who finally beat them off with a few whacks of the knife. The husbands were noticeably absent at the trial, but both pros ecuting witnesses testified. After the insistent pleadings of the de fense attorney that Georgana had not taken the ■ offensive but was merely defending herself. Judge J. Vance Rowe sentenced the de fendant to 90 days in jail, sus pended upon payment of costs and good behavior.

Notices have been mailed out to those in the younger age group. A. L. Burney, chairman of the Moore County Draft Board, em phasizes that all youths must con tinue to register with the draft board on the day they reach their 18th year. School Heads to Meet in Carthage Wednesday Representatives from the State Department of Education will con duct a meeting of all principals and superintendents in the coun ty in Carthage at 10 a. m. Wed nesday, Aug. 29. The purpose of the meeting is to announce promotions and dis cuss routine school business re garding the opening of county schools on August 30, and city schools in Southern Pines, Sep tember 5, and in Pinehurst, Sep tember 4. CAVINESS INJURES HAND Good news about new tires, nylon stockings, and new radios comes to the ears of an eagerly- waiting public in announcements made this week by government officials. Carful pot to mention the end of rationing, the officials did say that motorists might get a break on tires within 90 days, predict ing that production might jump 100 per cent within the next three months. No doubt this will hasten Gov ernor Cherry’s action in raising the wartime speed limit of 35 miles per hour to its pre-war limit of 60 miles per hour. Immed iately after Victory was an nounced the governor said he ex pected the limit would be upped “sometime before Christmas.” Nylons may be available by Thanksgiving, or by Christmas at least, the announcement read, since the government has turned loose its controls on nylon and rayon. WPB says that 3 1-2 million radios may be on store shelves by Christmas too because there’s been an 80 per cent cut in military orders for radar and radios. Of interest to Southern Pines landlords is the announcement that rent ceilings are expected to disappear in areas where army camps close or war plants shut down. Verifying Agriculture Secre tary Anderson’s statement that meat rationing would soon end, OPA indicated meat points would be reduced beginning in Septem ber. Wesley Cavinefes of Carthage, who is working as a photographer in Rocky Mount, was the victim of a painful accident Wednesday when he jabbed an ice pick into his finger. He immediately re ceived tetanus shots and is now recovering at his home in Car thage. Criminal Court at Carthage Scores Brevity Record The August term of Moore County Superior Court for the trial of criminal cases scored a record for brevity last week by convening on Monday morning and adjourning at noon Tuesday. Judge J. H. Clement presided. Two colored boys, Jesse Robin son of Asheville and Henry Cox of Wilson, were giveen two years on the roads for breaking and en tering a business house in Aber deen. I Mary Evelyn Garner of Rob bins, found guilty of breaking and entering, was sentenced to serve 18 months in State Prison. Several cases were continued, several nol. pros, judgements were recorded, and the following were found not guilty of the charges specified: Taft Cameron, careless, reckless driving; Herbert Harrington, abandonment. S. W. Moxley, Robbins chief of police, was found guilty of as saulting a man nartijed Williamson, whom he arrested, and was taxed with the costs. He gave notice of appeal to the Supreme Court. Several divorce cases were heard and judgments favorable to the plaintiffs werer recorded in the following: D. A. Hannon vs. Maxine Hannon, Mrs. Emma Lloyd vs. I. M. Lloyd, Ethel Con nelly Mann vs. Frank Ballard Mann, Roy Lockwood vs. Geneva Lockwood, E. L. Tart vs. Thelma Tart, T. E. Bass vs. Inez Bass. The case of Elijah Wood vs. Robena Bolton Wood was continued to nejjt 'paonth. The marriage of Richard R. Williamson and Inez Haithcock Williamson was an nulled, in an action brought by the plaintiff’s next friend, Ker- mit B. Williamson. Its time to start getting those overseas Qhristmas packages ready for mailing,” Postmaster Frank Buchan says, reminding that all packages, transoceanicT bound, must be mailed between September 15 and October 15 if they’re to reach their destina tion before Christmas. Regulations which insure the safe arrival of packages overseas are pretty much the same as last year, according to Mr. Buchan, but with so many Americans sta tioned in the far-off Pacific, he advises mailing packages to that area before October 1 in view of the distance involved. During “Christmas-mailing” months, requests from addresees are not required, but patrons should plainly write on each box “Christmas parcel.” Christmas cards may be mailed at any time, but should be posted before Nov ember 15,, if they are to have a reasonable expectation of delivery before Christmas. Christmas parcels should not exceed five pounds in weight or 15 inches in length or 36 inches in length and girth com bined. Not more than one pack age may be mailed in one week by the same person to the same addressee. Boxes must be sturdier than those used for packages that do not leave our shores, and each must be tied securely with strong cord. Sealing the boxes with gum med tape strengthens them, but is not satisfactory since the tape loosens when the boxes are ex posed to a moist atmosphere.. Perishable matter will not be accepted, nor intoxicants, matches, lighter fluid, poisons, or the like. Addresses must be leg ible, in typewriting or ink, and postage must be fully paid. Valu able papers and small articles of intrinsic value are the only pack ages that may be insured. Postmaster Buchan recom mends the use of postal money ^ orders to transmit gifts of money to members of the armed forces outside the Continental United States. First Anniversary Harold A. McNeill and Bryan Poe, operators of the Texaco Ser vice Station on West Broad Street, are this week celebrating the first anniversary of their business venture, and they are very appreciative of the splendid response of the public which has mdde the year a successful one for them. Day of Prayer Is Observed Quietly A quiet day was last Sunday as Southern Pines, like all cities, towns and villages the nation ov er, observed World Day of Pray er on the first peace-time Sun day in almost four years. The Church of Wide Fellow ship was the only church that an nounced a special Victory ser vice, but peace after war was the theme of every sermon preached from the pulpit. The Baptist Church had already held a Victory service on Tuesday night of the preceding week, the night President Truman made the peace official. There were prayers, familiar hymns, and Bible lessons, as the entire nation pronounced a lit any of thanksgiving. Tobacco Is Good in Middle Belt and the Outlook Is Excellent Tobacco markets in the Middle Belt, in which Carthage, Aber deen and Sanford are located, will open for the sale of the gold en weed on September 11, and the outlook is bright as the crop this year is good. Although laborers have been scarce, women and children have rallied to the aid ot their men folk even in the actual curing, and many high school girls and boys from the towns have assist ed in gathering and getting the tobacco ready for the barns. Farm families have exchanged work with their neighbors, and now they are rejoicing that the long hard nights of curing are about ended. While sales will not begin in the Middle Belt until Tuesday, the 11th, warehouses will open to receive tobacco on September 7, and Moore County warehouse men are getting ready to handle an unprecidented volume, giving especial consideration to the con venience of the farmers. In Carthage the two ware houses are undergoing great im provement. George D. Carter and Sons, op erators of the McConnell Ware house, one of the old established warehouses of the State, have doubled (their floor space and made an entrance at the new end of the building, where a wide lot extending across an entire block has been cleared in order to give plenty of space for vehicles. This is a convenience that will be es pecially appreciated, as at this entrance there is no railroad to cross in approaching the ware house, as at the old one. New baskets and other equipment have been added. The warehouse of Smothers Brothers and Hobgood is at pres- eijt a scene of great activity, with a large crew of workmen en gaged in adding 18,000 square feet of floor space to the 12,000 in use before, to bring, the total to 30,000 square feet. Mr. Hob- good, who is on the scene told Pilot representative Wednes- (Continued on Page 8) Welfare Department Gives July Figures Federal and State funds for old age assistance and aid to de pendent children received in Moore County for the month of July amounted to ^,756, which was supplemented by $1,272.78 from the county, the Welfare De partment has disclosed. "this amount made 285 aged persons partially self-supported and enabled 87 dependent famil ies to be independent, with the mothers able to remain in the homes with their children. The average grant per aged person was $11.62, and the average as sistance per dependent family was $3)..79. 'Tn helping the underprivi leged, we are raising the stan dard of our county and commun ity,” commented Miss Pauline Covington, superintendent of the Moore County Welfare Depart ment. Knollwood Field May Turn Civilian Proposals for’ the operation of Knollwood Field will be received by the Knollwood Airport Com mittee any time before 10 a. m., Friday, August 31, according to an announcement from the commit tee this week. All proposals should be filed with Howard F. Burns at the of fice of City Clerk here, or pres ented at the Committee’s hearing to be held in the Carthage Court house Friday morning August 31. The Army is expected to re lease the field in the near future, and plans are underway to have the field in operation for the com ing season. Morning Mail Leaves Half Hour Earlier No Hustle For Point-Free Goods Sane and orderly buying char acterized the first week of lift ing of rationing of canned vege tables and 'fruits; local grocers reported yesterday. More can ned fruit than vege tables were purchased, but no general rush of buying on the part of the public was made. Grocers here predicted that purchasing would likely follow the same course,- but one dealer suggested that one of the reasons was that housewives were begin ning to consume pantry stocks which have been built up from victory gardens since rationing has been in effect. Those who want their letters to make the morning outgoing mail have to rise a half hour ear lier according to a .notice, posted near the letter drop in the South ern Pines Post Office. Instead of going out at 10 a. m., the mail is collected at 9:30, which procedure was inaugurated last Sunday. The change was made necessary* by a change in the timetable mail trains. of the morning KEEP SCRAPPING WAG ON LEAVE WAC Catherine Willcox of Greensboro is spending this week with her father, John Willcox, in Carthage. No, you can't get rid of that stack of scrap paper un til next week unless you want to tote it down to the garage back of the Sandhill Drug Company yourself. Paul But ler, chairman of the local Sal vage Committee, says no col lection can be m,ade before next week, the time to be an nounced in next week's Pi lot. So be patient, and keep saving paper for Uncle Sam does want all the scrap pa per you can scrape togeth er.
