3 Q fQwanis Ladies’ Night Banquet Is Held at Mid Pines Judge Hayes and Carl Goerch Speak; Music a Feature PLAY SAFE ~ Good Playing And Good Sportsmanship Bring Victory Motiy CoUHlttf Children — Face Sad Christmas Unless Aid Is Received 1$ One hundred and fifty Kiwan- ians, their wives and guests as sembled at Mid Pines Club Wed nesday evening for the annual Kiwanis Club Ladies’ Night ban quet, which was marked by a program of unusual interest and a festive air befitting the ap proaching holiday season. With thew Sandhills’ own Char- Ue Picquet jumping up and down from his mas!ter-of ceremonies chair with the agility of a four- year-old, Mr. and Mis. Kelsey beaming at aU and sundry on this, the fifty-second anniversary of their wedding day. Bill Sabiston cracking jokes, and the versatile Charlie cracking them right back, it was just bound to be a success, even if the speaker hadn’t been so fine. As it was, everything was just right. Judge Johnston J. Hayes of North Wilkesboro, judge of the Middle District of North Caro lina, was the speaker. Carl Goerch of Raleigh, publisher of the State Magazine, and Mrs. Goerch were guests and Mr. Goerch spoke extemporaneously. W. D. Sabiston, Jr., of Carth age, Kiwanis president, welcom ed the guests. Dr. Thaddeus A. Cheatham of Pinehurst spoke the invocation, and Charles W. Pic quet was the genial master of ceremonies. U. L. Spence of Carthage, pres ident of the Moore County Bar Association, introduced Judge Hayes. Music was a delightful fea tuie of the program. The Dunes Club Orchestra played from 7:30 until 8:30, and the Aberdeen High School Glee Club, under the di rection of Mrs. Douglas Wooten, sang several numbers that were well received. A highlight was the presen tation of a check for the support of a bed in the children’s ward of Moore County Hospital, a work which the Kiwanis Club has been carrying on for many years. The Council of Social Agencies is following its usual custom of distributing food orders to needy families in the Southern Pines school district. Contributions are being sought how and may be sent to J. C. Phillips, treasurer. This work does not overlap with that being done in the county, but is undertaken on the principle that charity begins at home.

First on. the list of secular Christmas happenings is the School Glee Club concert, under the direction of Miss Bailey, to be held Thursday afternoon at five. The club has been rehears ing carols for some time and the program has many lovely num bers listed. Originally scheduleti for Thursday night, the club changed its time to the after noon when it was found to con flict with the program of Eliza bethan Christmas music being presented by the Pinehurst Fo rum, Thursday night at the Pine hurst Country Club at 8 p. m.

Boy To Go On To Third Round Trial Jan. 10th. Despite the fact that Sandhills shops are brimming over with wonderful toys and attractive gifts in wider variety than for several years, there will be many wistful, pinched little faces in Moore County on Christmas morning, and aged people more bowed than usual with loneli ness and hopelessness unless the more fortunate do something about it. Christmas will bring nothing but sadness to a number of young parents, too, who through no fault of their own will be un able to provide the accustomed gifts for their children and who will be forced to see a day of traditional gladness for little ones turned into one of deeper sad ness by way of contrast, unless, Santa Claus hears about it.

It is planned to have this event on Friday evening, December 20th. The school glee clubs and many members of the church choirs will lead the singing. On Saturday, Santa Claus is due in town. Attired in his bright red suit with snowy trimmings, he will parade up and down Broad Street, and if there is not a crowd of youngsters trailing behind him it will ,be surprising. As always the Southern Pines merchants will decorate their windows and there will certaiply be many bright little trees in yards all over town as the Happy Day draws near. While no lavish display is planned, the good taste and enthusiasm of townsfolk will come to the fore as usual, in dec orations of beauty and interest. With holiday spirits rising high, now that the strike is over and folks feel somewhat easier in their minds. Southern Pines is joining the other communities in the land to celebrate once Wore the Christmas season. The churches, as always, lead the way in the observance of the anniversary of the Birth of Christ. In each one, the service of worship is made more beau tiful by the singing of traditional music, carols and more elabo rate cantatae, by the many choirs who number among them so many friends and neighbors. Emmanuel Church continues its tradition in holding a midnight service Christmas Eve. Starting at 11:30, the choir, under the direct- I ion of Mrs. Arch Eakins, will sing [several carols before the regular Episcopal service.

The journey to Seagrove re sulted in a sparkling 36-24 triumph, last Saturday night, the first win of the season. A highly- touted Robbins team was turned back in the high schiool gym Monday night by the convincing score of 43-33 a game highlight ed by the magnificent shooting of Arthur Pate, who racked up 21 points. Tied up at 33-33 with five min utes to play. Southern Pines got hotter than a bank robber’s pis tol and made ten points in three minutes. In the midst of the ex citement in the last few minutes of play, Murray of Robbins ac cused Buddy Blue of Southern Pines of a slight bit of dirty work and bopped him in the beak. Not to be outdone. Blue bopped right back. For a moment it loked as though something really inter esting might develop, but, much to the spectators’ disappoint ment, nothing happened except the swift ejection from the game of both players. In a practice game, with the high school Tuesday night, the schoolboys went down fighting to the tune of 38-36. After the game they good-naturedly prom ised revenge, a challenge which the local club eagerly accepted. Among the events already ar ranged is the (traditional chil dren’s party in the ball room of the Carolina Hotel, which will be held the afternoon of Monday, Dec. 23rd. Beside gifts to be pre sented by Santa Claus from the huge Christmas Tree, there will be an entertainment by a ma gician. Christmas Carols will be sung informally in the hotels on Christmas Eve. The singing at the Carolina will be led by Mrs. Lemon L. Smith, the former Miss Claire Loring, who was prima donna of the La Scala Opera of Milan, Italy, and has sung under the direction of Arturo Toscan ini. Mrs. Smith, with her hus band, are to be guests at the ho tel over the holidays. On Christmas afternoon the children’s gymkhana .will take place in the Carolina ring. Guests at the Pinehurst hotels are invited to play in a special invitation golf tournament, Par- Bogey, Better Ball of Pair, at the Country Club on Thursday, Dec. 26th. That evening there will be an informal dance in the Pine Room for participants in the gymkhana, who wlil be the guests of the hotel management.

The Randolph Singers, who will present the program, is a unique combination of Madrigal singers. All the singing is unac companied; the six performers sit around a table in the manner of Elizabethan times. Then, in the old sixteenth century Eng- list'home, it was the custom for a hostess to distribute music to her guests after dinner for an impromptu session of madrigal singing. This atmosphere of in timacy is preserved by the Ran doph Singers in the authentic manner, with David Randoph, the director, giving his audience in formal comments as the program proceeds. The informality of the presentation gives a freshness and enthusiasm which is communicat ed to the audience. The program to be presented next Thursday by the six singers, three feminine and three male voices, will be chosen from an extensive repertoire of madrigals, folk songs, Christmas carols, canzonets, ballets, chansons and (Continued on Page 8) Just what progress is being made in the Tuberculosis Seal Sale in Moore County is not def initely known as Mrs. f. A. Cheatham does not have reports from all sections, but she is hop ing that every community will put forth its best effort to top last year’s high of $6,000.00, or at least not to fall below it.

Mrs. Cheat ham feels, but it also means that there are more arrested cases in the homes which must be looked after, and money from the sale of seals is necessary to carry on this all-important follow-up work. “Eternal vigilance” is the motto of the Tuberculosis Assoc iation, and the county chairman credits to the generosity of the citizens and the splendid cooper ation of the schools the fact that (Continued on Page 8) taxi service, was struck by a car and killed.

Pointing to the great success of the program to date, several present urged continu ance of the board’s efforts. Highlight of the meeting was the announcement, made by A. C. Dawson and Philip Weaver, of an anonymous gift of $3000.00 for the construction of a field house. It was explained that the gift was made with the provision that planning for other features such as lights and beautification, should be continued. Discussion of suggestions for the proposed field house boiled down to the feasibility of securing a Quonset hut, which could prob ably be acquired and erected for practical use within a short time. It was suggested that it could be placed at the further end of the field, near the road, screened by the pines. It was decided that lights for the field would be the next item on the program, and that a letter should be sent out to all member organizations asking how much each would be able to raise for this project. The Southern Pines post office will remain open Saturday after noon, December 14, to accommo date customers mailing Christ mas patkages. Postmaster P. Frank Buchan has announced The office customarily closes at noon and this special service will be appreciated by patrons. Mrs. Walter B. Lambert of 'Vass, almost blind, was badly injured, Mrs. Annie Faircloth, blind case worker for the blind, was less seriously injured, and her driver, Mrs. Evelyn Osborne of Sanford suffered a dislocated vertebra Thursday afternoon when the De- Soto sedan in which they were riding was in a collision with a Colonial Mills truck driven by Clarence Cook. The accident oc curred when Mrs. Osborne at tempted to turn from Highway 1 near the school building in Aber deen. Mrs. Lambert was rendered un conscious by the impact and did not regain consciousness for sev eral hours after being admitted to Moore County Hospital, where an examination revealed a broken collarbone and bruises. Mrs. Osborne, the driver, was thrown into the back seat. She went to Lee County hospital for an X-ray and was later able to return home. Mrs. Faircloth received bruises and cuts which kept her from her work for several days. With headquarters in Sanford, Mrs. Faircloth works four count ies, including Moore. She had brought Mrs. Lambertjto Southern Pines for an eye examination and was on her way to notify an Aber deen patient to go to Duke for an operation when the accident oc curred.
