North Carolina Friday, December 14, 1945 TEN CENTS Three Towns Top Quotas As Victory Loan Drive Ends Pinebluff, Pinehurst, Southern Pines Forge Ahead In Last Days Horses Come Into Their Own Again in Sandhills Holiday Plans Pinehurst, Pinebluff -and South ern Pines may pat themselves on the back all this week: all three towns have oversubscribed both the E-bond and over-all Victory Loan quotas, Pinebluff to the im pressive tune of four times. The County as a whole has oversub scribed the overall quota, but needs $85,000 more E-bonds to complete the figure in that cat egory. , Pinebluff’s committee, under Mrs. Edwards, has distinguished itself consistently in all Bond Drives, never failing to top both auotas in record time. Pine hurst, under Colonel Hawes, has been equally successful in the past, and now comes to the fore again with another impressive gcoi*0. In Southern Pines, $71,798.75 in E-bonds have been sold com pared to the quota of $66,640.00. This figure has jumped right up since last week, testifying to the intensive efforts of the entire communitv ps-necially bond-'='p''t- ers and chairmen, to maintain the same high record set in pre vious camnaigns. Local chairman Paul Jernigan congratulates his workers for their fine driving finish. He ad- (Continued on Page' 5) Above is shown Mrs. W. O.

Shall we issue $70,000 in bonds to improve our sewer system? No. 2. Shall we issue $50,000 in bonds to improve our streets? No. 3. Shall we issue $30,000 in bonds to build an incinera tor? Three simple straight-for ward projects, these, each a definite need in our commun ity, two affecting health and comfort, the third our trans portation. The two are the kind of outlay that a town must make in order to avoid having far greater expenses later on, in rebuilding stuff that has de teriorated beyond the point of economical maintenance. The third has long been a crying need. The Pilot believes all three are necessary and worthwhile expenditures of town funds. Veteran Staff of Ex-Service Personnel Angus Mills, Vass Plant, Bears Town Benefactor’s Name County Athletic Heads Meet for Discussions Here High School Mentors Study Fundamentals at Basketball Clinic NO. 1. VOL. I Angus Mills, Incorporated, a new industry for Vass organized to convert cotton yarns into plain knit cloth, was chartered Decem ber 6 with an authorized capital stock of $50,000 and with the fol lowing officers: president, R.B.P. Forrest of Philadelphia; vice- president and manager, A. M- Cameron of Vass; treasurer, W. W. Forrest of Philadelphia. The new mill will begin opera tion during the first quarter of 1946 in the large brick building opposite the hotel, which the firm recently purchased from R. P. Beasley. The new business bears the name of A. M. Cameron’s father, also of his only son: the late An gus Cameron, widely known ben- lefactor, who was organizer of the Vass Cotton Mill and presi dent from its beginning in 1909 until his death in 1928, and An gus MacKay Cameron, now a stu dent at Duke University prepar- iriff ■fn>- TV'^p+hndist ministrv. The Forrest brothers, who have been selling agents for .the Vass Cotton Mill since 1918, were not only busines.s associates but close friends of the late Mr. Cameron, and this close relationship has carried on during the years that A. M. Cameron has been manager of the mill. An innovation in high school athletic circles of the county this year was the basketball clinic and coaching school, for officials, coaches, and players, held at the Southern Pines High School last Friday, December 7th. The clin ic was sponsored by the Moore County Educo Club, composed of superintendents, principals, and men teachers of the county, and was attended by more than a hun dred coaches, game officials, and members of this year’s squads, both boys’ and girls, from eleven high schools in the Sandhills area. Chairrrian of arrangements for the clinic here were A. C. Daw son and Philip Weaver of the Southern Pines school. A tribute to athletic facilities of the school and to the coaching staff was the selection of Southern Pines as site of the clinic, and of Coaches Daw son and Weaver, lettermen in basketball at the University of North Carolina and Duke respec tively, as directors. Assisting with demonstrations pertaining to phases of the girls’ game was Miss Aline Todd, director of girls’ ath letics here. The clinic was held in two well attended sessions, one for girls’ basketball and another for the From '%'he Log of The Pilbl: No, I, VOL. I, bearing dale of November 25th, 1920, issued in Vass, was a small four page paper, measuring 17 by 10, of four columns to the page, Stacy Brewer, manager." It must be wonderful to be gin a newspaper. It is ywondejr- ful enough to come in on the middle of it. We wonder if Mr. Brewer was as excited as we were when his first paper came off the press. That must have been a great moment. It was certainly a good moment for this community; having been in on it for such a short limp, we may be allowed to say that. Praise is due to all who carry on a good newspaper, but certainly the greatest praise and the greatest respect must al ways go to the man who had the courage and the vision to start it. This Pilot takes his hat off, with an extra bow, sir, to Stacy Brewer, publisher of No. I, Vol. I. Pinehurst Forum Presents Pianist Whistle Blows Three Times In Four Days This is the time of year when the strains of old time carols float out from church and houses, as the singers practice for the com ing Christmas services.

Soloists are not yet en tirely lined up, but Joyce Bailey, Lt. Reeseburg, and Mrs. T. K. Gunter are sure to be among therri. The' eantatd will be part of the service on the twenty-third, the Sunday before Christmas. On Christmas Eve there will be a tree for the children, and after wards the young people of the church, the “Triangle Club,” are inviting all the youth organiza tions of the community to join with them and go carolling many of the carollers will keep "ight on with the singing at one or the other of the midnight ser- i vices- ,These midnight carol services are being held at both Emmanuel Episcopal Church and the Catho lic Church of St- Anthony of Padua.

Leased for the coroora- tion by Major Lewis C- Burwell and Lt.-Commander Clayton L. Burwell of Charlotte, late of the Army Air Corps and U. S. Navy respectively, Knollwood Field, now, the Pinehurst - Southern Pines Airport, has become head quarters for the new airline.

Standardized rates per airmile mile are being quoted, exclusive of federal tax, with a reduction for round trip engagements. A specialty, how ever, will be service between New York and Miami, with flat rate reductions for four-passenger flights between Knolbvood and LaGuardia Field, New York, and from Knollwood to Miami. In an interview Tuesday, Ma jor Burwell stated that Resort Airlines proposes to capitalize upon the desire of many of the New York tourist clientele to break the journey south by stop ping over in the Pinehurst-Sou- thern Pines area, before contin uing to resort points in Florida.
