M. As usual the activities of the night will begin with a grand parade. Every child in costume is asked to participate in this parade. There will be prizes for the most beautiful, the funniest, the most unusual and the most horrible costumes. The Rotary Club select ed, as the judges of this parade, Mrs. E. Levis Prizer, Mrs. E. M. Poate, Mr. J. W. Dixon and Col. Louis Scheipers. The activities of the evening will include the drawing of names of Southern Pines child ren for certain' prizes d: rated by the merchants of our city and the grand prize of the evening presented by the Clark Furniture Company will be given to some lucky child regardless of costume. Other activities of the evening include a sack race, a candle race, a wheelbarrow race and a tug of war. As usual there will be an apple-ducking stand, free punch and doughnuts for all children and plenty of noisemakers. One of the features of the evening which has always attracted much attention will be the pie eating contest. At 9:15 P.M. every child in Southern Pines is invited to be the guest of the Southern Pines Rotary Club at the second show of the Sunrise Theatre which will be “Boys’ Ranch”. The Committee of Rotarians in charge of this program and the night’s activities is headed by Duke Lloyd Clark, Chairman, and the other members of the commit tee are Morris Johnson, Virgil Clark, Garland Fierce, Harry Brown, Herbert Cameron and Tucker Humphries.

V. O’Callaghan tem- . porary chairman of the commit tee was elected permanent chair man, and J. W. Dickerson, execu tive secretary. This committee was selected from every (organization in the town, and each member reports back to his organization sugges tions of the committee for a co ordinated program for improve ments deemed most feasible or ihost urgent, or that will stand the best chance of success in the betterment of the Athletic Field or the Physical Education pro gram. The planning committee was formed in recognition of the need to coordinate money-raising ac tivities for improvements to the field and other things that from time to time various organiza tions wish to sponsor or promote. With representation from all or ganizations it is felt that all will be working for a common goal, and promoting the common good. ';fter hearing from Superinten dent Phil Weaver, and others, the committee recommended that the various organizations consider means of raising money to build a field house at the Athletic Field which at present has no resting place or toilet facilities for the teams, or spectators. It was estimated that the cost of the field house equipped with four toilets would be around $2,500.00 to $3,000-00. Southern Pines Meets Unbeaten Team In Six-Man Game Here Next Week Two undefeated, high scoring teams will risk spotless records here Wednesday afternoon when Southern Pines clashes with a tough Hope Valley High School team from Durham in an all im portant conference game. The winner will become a leading contender for the Eastern title. Boasting a line averaging well above 200 pounds, and a back- field tipping the scales at 160 pounds, the team from. Durham will probably be the most rugged the Blue and White will face this year. Lowe’s Grove, undefeated in two years has been the only school to give Hope Valley a close game, losing out 20 to 12. Over whelming their other opponents with a powerful running game, and using a passing attack from their triple threat star Johnson, with 9 touchdowns to his credit if( four games, to Dollar left half back to confuse any defensive- set up against their running game, Hope Valley has been un stoppable. In the Eastern Con ference race this year, they have been regarded as the team to be stopped. But the way Coaches Dawson and Weaver and the local team are working indicates confi dence that the visitors can be stopped, and determination that the Blue and White will be the team that will put the halter on. And lor that matter it is prob able that Hope Valley is doing some worrying, too. Heavily outweighed in the line and backfield. Southern Pines will pin their hopes of victory on speed and deception, and striking through the air lanes. And, if the Durham boys stop a running attack spearheaded by Blue or the elusive Gary Mat tocks, tailbacks, slippery Red Smith, and pile driving Bobby Straka on the wing, and the pass ing combination of Grey to Har rington, they, will have had a busy afternoon-period.

Pupils Pine Crest Manor In Kiwanis Talk Johnston Urges Local Force Increase With Cassidy As Sleuth Are there rustlers lurking in our pine woods? That was the question in the mind of Virgil Johnston this week. If there is anything he thinks a lot of it is his horses: Prince, the older horse, and the young two-year-old mare. If there are rustlers around he wants to hire him a Hop along Cassidy and tell him to fly to it. On the other hand, if those two horses are playing tricks on him, he wants to know that, too. Not that he would do anything about it. Just wouldn’t be so worried next time. It seems that last week, the horses disappeared. And they disappeared, not just once but twice. Johnston figures those rustlers were really determined to get them. The first time they were back pretty quickly. But the second time, last Wednesday, they were gone a full twenty-two hours. That was a feverish stretch of (Continued from Page 5) Boy Scout Honor Court Held In Pinehurst The regular monthly meeting of the Moore County Court of Honor was held at the Pinehurst Community Church on Monday flight, October 21st. A large crowd of Scouts, parents, and adult friends of Scouting partici pated in this ceremony. I. C. Sledge, Advancement Chairman for Moore County, pre sided over the meeting. Forty- nine Scouts and'Seouters receiv ed Awards at this Court. An at tendance prixe, consisting of a huge cake, was presented to the Troop having the largest number of Scouts and visitors present. This was won by Troop 99 of Highfalls. Troops present were: Troop 7, Pinehurst, Ernest Hartsell, scout master; Troop 74, Robbins, John Lanier, scoutmaster; 'Troop 76, Vass, A. G. Edwards, scoutmas ter; Troop 86, Manly, Rev. T. D. Mullis, scoutmaster; Troop 73, Southern Pines, Lt. Col. Donald Madigan, scoutmaster; Troop 98, West End, A. P. Farmer, Jr., scoutmaster; Troop 99, Highfalls, L. W. Hewett, Sr., scoutmaster. Members of the District Com mittee present were Paul Butler, Chdirman, and Major W. D. Campbell, Commissioner. Both participated in the presentation of Awards. The next meeting of the Court of Honor will be held at the Schoolhouse in Southern Pines on Monday night, November 18th at 7:30 p. m. Harrison Contradicts Last Speaker's Views On Veteran Program Col. J. W. Harrison, Chancellor of State College, addressing the Sandhills Kiwanis Club at Pine hurst Wednesday on the subject of “The G. I. and G. I. Education” informed the Kiwanians that State College has an enrollment of 4,901 students—a 90 per cent increase over the pre-war high of 1942. Continuing, Col. Harrison sta ted the largest number of these students are serious-minded G. I.’s who are taking advantage of the opportunity for an education. He pointed out this is the only “land grant” college in the state, and the only school of technol ogy. It was originally built . for 2,500 students. Colonel Harrison, a pleasing speaker, stated the greater num ber of the G. I.’s are in the fresh man and sophomore classes and their grades as a whole are bet ter than those students with non military training. He declared the highest paid members of the staff at State are the agricultural specialists and it has been nec essary to set up a Foundation in order to obtain training special ists for the textile school and the engineering school, as industry has been able to pay much higher salaries. In conclusion, he said classes are started at 8:00 in the morning and continued until 6:00 p. m. and it has been necessary to con duct classes on Saturdays, be cause of lack of facilities. The speaker was introduced by Paul Butler, Chairman of the Program Committee. NEW BUILDING It is good news when our re turned servicemen find jobs at home. One such is Ralph L. Chandler, Jr. Recently back from service in both the European and Pacific Theaters, as a member of the 1053rd Port Construction and Repair Group, Army Engineers, Ralph is now secretary of the lo cal office of the Sandhills Oil Company. The new warehouse on East Broad Street was one of the few construction jobs completed re cently. Because of the non-priori ty material of concrete blocks, building was not halted and the combination office and storage building was finished last spring. PILOT JANITOR Ed Torrence, who is the very handy man around the Pilot, and around lots of other places in Southern Pines, went to Duke Hospital last Wednesday. He is back again at work. DON'T FORGET . . . that rendez-vous with those three Southern Pines girls at the School on Friday night. They are waiting, and a lot of others along with them. That's a date that's going to be worth keeping. You don't have to register to vote in that election. . . just PAY! Historical Group Holding Opening Meeting Of Fall Planning Shaw House Repairs, And Taking Up New Projects The Moore County Historical Association is holding its first fall meeting on Thursday night, after The Pilot goes to press. Re served, therefore, for reporting next week, will be the account of proceedings. However, anticipat ing a good attendance, the chair man, W. H. Leland McKeithan, has announced the agenda for the evening’s meeting. Noting that, due to corcum- stances beyond control, little had been accomplished toward the first project on the list, the re pairs to the Old Shaw House, the chairman said that the head of the building committee, Alfred B. Yeomans, stated that word had been received from John Mc Queen that the shingles which he has promised for the roof were now being cut. As they are being cut by hand' from crypress in the almost inaccessible parts of the big swampland, the task of get ting them out is hard and it is thought that it will be several months before they are ready. It is hoped that, with the help of Roy Newton, John White and others on that committee the work of reshingling the roof may then be started. Further work on the plans for house await the word of experts in that field. It is stated that the suggestion has been made that someone familiar with such res toration work be consulted in order to assure the local commit tee that they are proceeding along sound lines. The chairman announced that much enthusiasm was being shown for a renewal of the meet- (Continued on Page 8) Southern Pines Club Pair Qualify With Perfect Golf Torza and Carter Join The Birds With Star Spangled Score Felice Torza, 26 year old Conn ecticut open golf champion, and Jack Carter, local golf star, shoot ing sub-par golf over the Mid- Pines - Pine Needles course Tues day and Wednesday posted the best ball 126 to win the 36 hole qualifying round in the Sandhills Best Ball Team Tournament.

For Lasting S. Program Peaee Through UN Health Leaders Of Ten Counties Meet With State Good Health Group At Mid Pines Club November 1st U N (THE PRESIDENT'S WORDS) The American people look upon the United Nations not as a temporary expedient but as a permanent partnership —a. partnership among the peoples of the world for their common peace and common well-being. This assembly is the world's supreme deliberative body. The highest obligation of this assembly is to speak for all mankind in such a way as to promote the unity of all members in behalf of a peace that will be lasting because it is founded upon justice. The United Nations will not be able to remove the fear of war from the world unless substantial progress can be made in the next few years toward the realization of another of the four free doms—freedom from want. It must be the determined purpose of all of us to see that the United Nations lives and grows in the minds and the hearts of all peoples. Co. Health Dept. Lists Much Work Many Clinics Held Aims And Attitude Of Congress Seem Uncertain The United States has accepted Collective Security, International Cooperation through the UNITED NATIONS, as the best insurance against war. LASTING PEACE IS NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE. The United Nations, at present is ONLY A BEGINNING, a framework, the structure must be built. Some senators voted for it, not believing in it, and intend ing to hamper it. We.the American People, expect Congress to represent us fairly, but DOES IT? Judging from their votes, less than half of the 96 sena tors (43 to 45) can be depend ed on for Whole hearted sup port of UN. At least 25 sena tors, again judging from their votes, are complete iso lationists. Isolationists in Congress, as elsewhere, HAVE NO PRO GRAM FOR PEACE, except the discredited one of isolationism. Debate in Congress, more over, too often is marred by vindictive remarks, which place even our most gener ous action before the world as that of a greedy and heart less nation. Present Status Of UN To Date In Congress UNITED NATIONS CHARTER was ratified by the Senate with only 2 dissenting votes.* AUTHORITY WAS GIVEN TO U. S. REPRESENTATIVE to vote use of force against aggressor na tion without delay of referring each case to Congress, only 7 dis senting votes in Senate and 15 in House. . . BUT. . .

BRITISH LOAN AND TRADE (Continued on Page 8) In the quarterly report issued October 1st, by the Moore Coun ty Health Department (since the war combined with the Hoke County Department), a list is given of the Work accomplished, which, it is felt,, hardly repre sents the strenuous devoted work which went into it. Listed as routine accomplish ments are the vaccination clinics; where the figures given should be in most cases doubled or trip led; as they indicate the full course of treatment. Diphtheria vaccinations were 444, (actually twice as many shots are given,) 433, for smallpox, 329 for whoop ing-cough, (again, this represents, in each case, four shots for each vaccination.) The number of ty phoid fever immunizations was 1567, (with three doses each.) Only 15 cases of whooping- cough have been reported, prob ably a lower figure than the ac tual number of cases in the coun ty. There have been 766 blood tests made in the district, and 181 smears for gonorrhea; 126 urinal ysis were done and 29 feces for parasites, as well as 13 cultures for diphtheria; four spinals were done at Moore County Hospital. There have been two positive (^specimens for rabies. Thirty-two cases were admitted to Rapid Treatment Center for venereal disease. In the tuberculosis work, there have been four patients admitted to the Sanatorium, with 239 flu- oroscopes done by the Health Of ficer. There were included in this number 181 Moore County teach ers, white and colored. In the field of Maternal health, with eight clinics held in dif- CContinuea on Page 5) G. I. RALLY Tonight.

Contributions, so far are running about one hundred per cent ahead oft. last year, with much enthus iasm shown by both workers and suckers. T'aint often you get that!
