RED CROSS
County Firemen Work
For Timber Protection
A newcomer in town is the big
T-9 caterpiller tractor with its
plow hitched on behind, that is
spending some time in this sec
tion of the Sandhills plowing out
fire-lanes. In charge of Moore
County fire warden, A. B. East-
wood, the plow which is state
owned can be hired by private
individuals at a cost of $4.00 a
mile.
Eastwood has been plowing out
a line along both edges of the old
country, and moved on to Wey-
mouty Estate Wednesday. The
Boyds plan to enlarge the size
and number of fire-lanes in an
effort to give all the protection
posible to their timber. The plow
is in great demand and will pro
bably go from Ithe Weymouth
woods to the Bion Butler place
adjoining.
At the meeting of the Good
Health Association, held at the
Mid-Pines Club last week, W. P.
Saunders of Robbins was appoint
ed chairman for Moore County,
with Mrs. James Boyd of South
ern Pines as vice-chairman.
The meeting, attended by repre
sentatives from several counties,
was addressed by the executive
secretary of the association, Har
ry B. Caldwell. Telling his aud
ience that the success of the cam
paign for better health in the
state depended upon the educat
ion of the people to the need and
the methods by which it might be
met, he described the Good Health
Association as one organization
which did not involve getting
members or raising funds. He said
that three points would be stress
ed: the need for better health, as
exemplified by statistics show
ing the lack of hospitals, nurses,
doctors in the state; the plan for
meeting that need, which involv
ed building health centers, adding
hospital beds, helping to train
more nurses, doctors and tech
nicians; and last, the job, itself
for which the meeting was held:
to form a local group in each com
munity to promote the Good Hea
lth Plan by arousing publis opin
ion to back health Ipgjislation
soon to be under consideration.
He said that the association had
nothing to do with formulating
the plan; that had been drawn up
by fthe Broughton Commission
and other groups of specialists
in great detail and after long and
careful study; the job of local
committees would be purely that
of arousing an informed public
opinion.
Mrs. P. P. McCain, committee
member for this section, intro
duced the guests and promised
full support from her representat
ives.
Among those attending the
meeting from Moore County
were; H. Clifton Blue of Aber
deen, Dr. Willcox, health officer,
from Carthage. Mrs. Worth Mc
Leod, Mrs. Cole, Miss Swett, Or
ville Fulp of the Health and Wel
fare Departments, Miss Flora Mc
Donald and Miss Harrell of the
Home Demonstration Service,
E. H. Garrison, head of the Ag
ricultural Department, Mrs. James
Boyd and ^rs. W. P. Saunders.

worked for our servicemen
during the war?
Remember how we all
worked for the Red Cross?
Most of us have stopped
working for our boys in um-
form, but the Red Cross
hasn't; it goes right on. It is
still helping with soldier and
sailor problems, with the
wounded in the army and
navy hospitals, with the
boys who have moved on that
last step into the veterans'
hospitals.
The Red Cross is not let
ting them down or letting up

gion, at its Tuesday night meet

Clark, planned its principal Ar-
mistive Day Observance to be
held at the Church of Wide Fel
lowship Southern Pines on Sun

The Post voted to offer the use

munity and advocated freer use
of the club for social purposes by
veterans, planning to complete
the renovation of the hall, halted

in the community in sponsoring a
revival of the pre-war Harvest
Ball to be held on Thanksgiving
night at a hall to be selected by
the committee.
Adjutant Dietenhofer announc
ed notice had been received from

Local Voters Follow County Lead
As All Candidates Are Returned
G.O.P.
The annual Halloween party
given by the Rotary Club was a
huge success last Thursday night.
Hundreds lined the streets to
watch the parade of costumed
youngsters as they pranced by.
There were prizes for the most
beautiful, the funniest, the most
unusual, and the most horrible
costumes. Little Carolyn Hart was
the grand prize winner and she
had little trouble in capturing the
judges’ eyes.
Gay booths were set up along
the entire street and the busy
Rotarians drew attention to their
apple-ducking, bingo, free punch
and doughnut stands, sack race,
candle race, wheelbarrow race
and a tug of war. Spectators as
well as children all entered into
the festive spirit and words of
appreciation to the Rotary Club
were heard from all sides.
Unfortunately in all of the ex
citement the master of ceremon
ies forgot to write down names
of various prize winners.
Real Esl^le Dealers
Report on Weekly Sales
Real estate continues active
not only in Southern Pines but in
adjacent communities. Two im
portant local sales are reported
this week, J. D. Arey having pur
chased the house on Vermont
avenue, opposite Highland Lodge,
long known as the Burnap and in
former years prominent among
the smaller boarding house. He
plans alterations for apartments.
The Stevens agency reports the
sale of the former Pethick house,
located on the corner of Massach
usetts Avenue and Highland
Road, to Sydney N. Everett of
Baltimore, Md. The new owner
has started redecorating.

deen.
Francis Osborn has bought lots
number 110 and 111 in Pinehurst.
Workers At Shaw
House Pitch In To
Clean and Paint
Drivers passing to and from
Aberdeen will be struck by the
fine flurry of activity to be seen
in and about the Shaw House at
the southern end of town. Sever
al cars are parked along the Mor-
ganton Road front entrance most
every day, while the new white
sign’ ion Broad Street te^ifies
that this project of the Moore
County Historical Society is at
last really getting under way.
Most active among the volun
teer workers are Mrs. Katherine
McColl, Mrs. David Sutherland
and Mrs. Ernest Ives who, taking
helpers with them, set to work to
clean up the place. “As the town
force, which was to clean the
yard, was late in coming,” said
one -of the ladies,” we decided not
to wait but to do it ourselves.”
The long grass has been cut,
some of the straggly bushes prun
ed and already the grounds begin
to have a less jungly appearance.
Inside the house, the change
for the better is even more ap
parent. The Shaw Paint Co. sent
a mian over to steam off the wall
paper from the old board walls,
and Letcher Cameron is working
in the main room, rubbing down

What will Ibis republican
landslide mean for the coun
try?
It will depend which wing
of the party is dominant. If it
is the Taft-Dewey-Bricker
wing, we are in for trouble.
We shall have taxes cut in
the higher brackets; we shall
have more strikes; we shall
have nationalism as opposed
to internationalism^ with pro
tective tariffs and cartels
threatening the world econ
omy. We shall have the re
actionaries in Big Business in
the saddle, ruiming the coun
try as they please.
We had all that under
Harding and it was not good.
If the Republicans have the
sense to recall that lesson,
they may turn to Stassen and
the liberal wing of the party.
That must be our hope.

Armistice Day In Southern Pines
CLUB DANCE
There will be a semi-formal
dinner dance this Saturday, No-
venaber 9th, marking the official
opening of the Southern Pines
Country Club. Many of those who
will be following the golf during
the afternoon are expected to stay
on for the dance.
This picture was taken in 1922, four years after the real
Armistice Day. The uniforms are different now . . . and cars
are different, (see the old model T, off in the background? And
don’t you wish you had one!) Those buildings have been
changed, too, and there is no funny light near the station. But
these men are the fathers of the boys who fought in this war,
Th,ey march as their sons did, and the Flag they carry is the
Stars and Stripes.
When the two minutes of silence comes next Monday, on
Armistice Day, we will think of them and of their brothers
in foreign soil, and of our boys of this World War 11, who lie
beside them. In loving memory and deepest gratitude, we pay
tribute to their sacrifice.
