In its first year Resort Airlines
has flown over one million pas
senger miles; created the newest
thing in the national tourist
trade, its transcontinental “Sky
Cruise”; established its own of
fices in New York City and Mi
ami, as well as here and has set
its own planes down in major air
ports in all parts of the United
States.
Thus, the truth of an old adage
“mighty oaks from tiny acorns
grow” is being proved by Resort
Airlines, Moore County’s own
airline.
Commencing operations just a
year ago this month with nothing
but an idea and a fund of initia
tive and imagination. Resort Air
lines is the first venture of its
kind in North Carolina to carry
the name of the state and, in par
ticular the fame of the resort
area of Moore County, from coast
to coast on services operated en
tirely under its own name.
Its planes have flown from
New York’s La Guardia Field to
Florida, to the Adirondacks
where it maintained a daily ser
vice last summer, and to the
West Coast and the great Nation
al parks at Yellowstone, Yose-
mite and the Grand Canyon,
all on the itinerary of the pioneer
Sky Cruises. Resort has thus be
come a flying ambassador for the
state and Moore County. Every
passenger was made aware that
Pinehurst-Southern Pines was
the home of the line. Officers and
pilots of the corporation are con
vinced that their operations have
resulted in word - of - mouth - ad
vertising of great value to the
state and to Moore County.
As it enters its second year the
line is committed to specializa
tion in the vacation and tourist
field of air travel on both an ex
tended national and an interna
tional scale. Spreading its wings
over all parts of North and Cen
tral America, Resort is already
on its way to becoming a national
airline of importance and there
by a major asset to its home com
munity and the state at large. In
order to meet the requirements
of its extended activities, it plans
to invest a large sum of money
in improvements and additions
to Knollwood Field, according to
Lewis C. Burwell,. Jr., of South
ern Pines, president of the cor
poration. Burwell explains, th'at
his company’s business makes it
imperative that the field’s facil
ities be increased and improved
in order that Resort can prop
erly provide for the housing and
maintenance of its equipment, for
its executive offices and in order
to service the increase in air
traffic from other sources, both
commercial and private, which
he believes will inevitably result
^from Resort’s rapidly increas
ing operations. The company has
a lease on the field, which is
owned by Moore County, and the
company’s investment and con
tinued use of the field, Burwell
states, is entirely contingent upon
the cooperation of the County
Airport Commission, of which
Gordon M. Cameron of Pinehurst
is chairman.
'GOLF CLINIC"
Tommy Armour will be at
the Southern Pines Country
Club the latter part of Oct
ober and through November
to help the Club gel off to a
flying start under the new
management.
Armour will start here the
"Golf Clinic" that has proven
such a success at the Rock-
ledge Country Club in West
Hartford, Conn.
The Golf Clinic is a free
show put on by Armour for
any and all who care to
come, see, and improve their
golf thereby. He shows his
way of hitting various shots
and invites people in the gal
lery to step up and try it for
themselves.
W. W. Sherman, new own
er of the Country Club, says
that he expects to have a def
inite announcement this
coming week concerning who
the golf pro will be for the
approaching season.

THUMBS DOWN
A public hearing was held
Wednesday night concerning
the possible construction of
an office-apartmenl building
on fhe lot now owned by Dr.
Milliken on the Town Park
site. It was unanimously
agreed by the citizens at
tending that the' zoning laws
along East Broad Street
should not be extended.
In short, thumbs down on
erecting the proposed office-
apartmlent. The Zoning
Boud recommenced to the
Town Commissioners that
the Zones remain as they
now are and that the Town
acquire, if possible, the im
from Dr. hQlliken for an ad
dition to the Town Park.
The American Veterans Com
mittee voted at their regular
meeting last Monday at the Com
munity Center to help put across
the boxing bouts that will take
place in the Southern Pines Ball
Park the night of October 11th.
Proceeds froin these and future
fights wiil go into a fund to pay
for lights that are to be installed
at the Ball Park for night games.
These bouts are being promo
ted by Donald Smith and Si
Leary and according to advance
billing promise to be the best
fights this area has seen in amny
a moon.
Don Smith says these bouts are
to be run strictly according to the
rules of the Amateur Athletic As
sociation. The ring and ropes are
to be brought from Port Bragg.
Bushby is to install lights for
the night. Fort Bragg is also sup
plying a doctor to patch those
who might need such services in
pursuit of their arduous fisticuff
duties.
Fort Bragg has also agreed to
cooperate still further in future
fights if the ones on Oct. 11th
are run in such manner as to be
an attraction, to the community.
Fort Bragg is to be commended
on their helpful attitude.
GI Democrats Take
First Political Step
Here In Moore County
The GI Democrats of Moore
County /voted unanimously 'at
their last Friday’s meeting in the
Carthage Courthouse to back J.
Hubert McCaskill, non-GI of
Pinehurst, as the next President
of the Young Democrats Com
mittee in the eight district.
This backing of a non-GI for
a political office is the opening
gun fired by these local GI Dem
ocrats. It is their first step into
County affairs. It is also directly
contrary to one of the main be
liefs of those who dislike, and
possible fear, the GI Democrats.
That belief was that the GI Dem
ocrats would vote only for ex-
GI’s.
However, at the Carthage meet
ing‘it was brought out that one
of the main purposes of the GI
Democrats “is to pick* the best
man for any particular office and
do all in our power to have him
elected, whether or not he was
in the Services”.
This decision turns the local
spotlight directly upon these ex-
GI’s who state one of their basic
beliefs is the fact that “Ballots
Not Bullets” is the best way to
achieve better government in the
County, the State, the Nation,
and finally in the world.
During the same meeting
where it was voted to back Mc
Caskill for YDC i^esident, a few
planhls were suggested to the
Matfofm Committee. The “Chal-
fonte Resolutions”, the platform

GI Bill Of Wrongs
Aired By Dean Of
St. Johns College
Word has been received of the
death in San Francisco of Louis
Haynes who graduated in ’43
from the Southern Pines High
School. •
Young Haynes was aboard ship
returning from Japan when he
came down with bulbar polio.
Louis couldn’t be anything
but fair” is the way he is des
cribed by many of his friends
here in Southern Pines.
Following his years in South
ern Pines High School, Louis
Haynes went to St. Pauls at Con
cord, N. H. He received the high
average of 89 per cent on all
examinations entering St. Pauls
from Southern Pines High. From
St. Pauls Haynes entered Har
vard, where he again distinguish

What The President Might H aveDone

Sept. 20th, 1946. 6:15 P. M.
The Radio: “President Truman
has asked for Secretary Wallace’s
resignation.”
'That is a tragic mistake on
the President’s part!”
‘You think it’s a mistake?
Why, what could he have done?”
‘He could have told the truth;
he could have apologised; he
could have written Yallace a
letter, something like this: . . .”
AN IMAGINARY LETTER
Dear Mr. Secretary:
Yes, I did read your speech on
that afternoori when you gave it
to me. When a member of my
caoinet proposes to make a
speech on foreign policy before
the PAC, or any body of Ameri-
at Camp Blanding, Fla., and from cans, I should consider myself
there was sent to the University derelict in my duty if I did not
of Chicago to study Japanese. He read his speech, beforehand, with
was sent to Japan last March and the utmost care
was stationed at the Emperor’
Palace in Tokyo.
(Continued on Page 8)
Before I started to read, I
thought for a long time. First of
all, I wondered if it was a good
idea for you to make a speech on
the Russian situation at a time
when our representatives were
so deep'y enmeshed in negotia
tions wi'ih the Soviet Union and
when our Secretary of State was
not available to consider your
speech in the light of the policy
he was pursuing. This is a diffi
cult question. It is important, on
the one hand, that all Americans,
regardless of their position, shall
have a right to make their voices
heard on questions of public in
terest. It would seem, indeed,
particularly wrong if you, one of
the leaders of our country, defin
itely a leader of a large' segment
of the American public, were, be
cause of your membership in my
cabinet, debarred from that priv
ilege. On the other hand, I have
a strong belief that unanimity,
on the part of the Cabinet, be
hind the policies of the Adminis
tration is essential to the success

Thoughlles Vets Are
Killing Golden Goose
The GI Bil of Rights has a lot
of wrongs when it comes to the
facts of the case, as far as higher
education goes. That at, least, is
the opinion of some Rotarians af
ter listening to Dean George
Matheson of St. Johns College in
Brooklyn.
Dean Matheson spoke to the
Rotary Club at their regular
luncheon meeting at Lakeview
last Friday.
Dean Matheson was not a happy
man about “Public Law 346”
alias the GI Bill of Rights. It ad
mittedly does a great deal of
good, but it also does a good bit
of bad.
Too many vets who had given
up formal education long before
the war are now back in the halls
of learning, only they’re not
learning. They are taking courses
in “liberal arts” —many are
dropping out after a few weeks,
due to their inability to do the
work assigned in the liberal
arts courses, many colleges have
expanded their teaching staff
to cover the tremendous infux
of vqts, aiid when thj!se vets
drop out the colleges find them
selves over-expanded.
There is such terrific over
crowding that many colleges are
finding their profesors and in
structors can no longer do justice
to their lecture courses and class
es.
One of the most serious draw
backs to the present set-up is that
th^se young people now ready for
college who could use the ad
vanced education so many vets
are wasting can not get in. Too
many vets are “going along for
the ride.”

In a game that at times was
spectacular and full of thrills for
the 400 some odd spectators, with
a large representation from Sou
thern Pines, Southern Pines roll
ed over Pittsboro High at Pitts
boro Wednesday afternoon 45 to
6, but the Pittsboro team had its
moments, and fought courageous
ly to the final whistle.
Coach Dawson started a mixed
team of lettermen and reserves.
Pittsboro received the opening
kickoff, but lost the ball on downs
as a fourth down forward pass
was incomplete. On the Pittsboro
20 yard line. Grey ran for nine
teen yards around left end, a
yard shy of a touch down. Fum
bles stalled the Blue and White,
and a fourth down pass was in
complete and Pittsboro took over
on their 3. Maples recovered a
fumble on the Pittsboro 5 yard
marker. A forward lateral from
McLeod to Maples to Scheipers
carried to the two yard line, and
from this point Grey raced
around left end for Southern
Pines’ first touchdown. The con
version attempt failed. Score.6 to
0. Pittsboro taking the kick off,
advanced the ball to their 39 yard
marker. From here White, right
end, on an end around raced to
the Southern Pines 19 yard line.
Haynes then dropped away back
and heaved a long pass to White
who was in the end zone, for a
touch down. Score 6-6. Pittsboro
failed to make the extra point.
Coach Dawson sent in an entirely
new team with Harrington and
York ends; Arnette, center, and
Straka, Smith, and Blue backs.
Pittsboro kicked off out of
bounds and Southern Pines took
over on their own 30 yard line.
Blue picked up 13 yards, and re
peated for 15 more at right end.
Trying the middle he went
through for another 15 yards. A
backfield fumble was ' converted
by Red Smith into a touchdown
when he scooped up the ball and
ran through the Pittsboro team
for the second touchdown. The
score was 12 to 6 as the try for
extra points failed.
Pittsboro taking the next kick
off couldn’t go the distance for
first down and had to kick.
Blue returned the kick to South
ern Pines 19 yard stripe, and in
two plays the Blue and White
added the third score. Straka
passed to Harrington who took
the ball on the Pittsboro 30 and
lateralled to A1 Blue who
carried to the Pittsboro two yard
line before he was knocked out
of bounds. As the second quarter
began Blue took the ball over to
make the score 18 to 6. Try for
the point after touchdown was
blocked.
Southern Pines scored their
fourth touchdown as the result of
a Pittsboro fumble which Har
rington recovered on their 11
yard line. Mattocks in for Grey
carried the ball over, Arnette
placekicked the extra points
making the score 26 to 6. A block
ed kick with the eptire Southern
Pines line in on the play was re
covered by the locals on the Pitts
boro 2. Harrington took a pass
from Straka for the fifth touch
down making the score 32 to 6 as
again the conversion failed.
A fumble on the one yard line
cost the Blue and White another
touchdown just before the half.
Play was slow and see-sawed
in the scoreless third quarter.
Page started the Blue and White
to their sixth touchdown by in
tercepting a Pittsboro pass on
his 30 yard line and returning
to the 25. Grey threw a pass to
Maples good for 24 yards, but two
running plays lost seven yards.
On fourth down, fading deeply,
