Brewer entered the army in September 1940 and served till August 1945 when he received a discharge. Then in February 1946 he re-enlisted and held the rank of corporal prior to his commis sioning as a second lieutenant. During his first enlistment he was assigned to a transportation unit serving in England and France. His decorations include the European theatre ribbon with two battle stars,th e Good Con duct medal, the American de fense ribbon, and the ’Victory and Occupation ribbons.

Cherry, Jr., and J. H. .Mason. The new owners will operate ■svholesale and retail automob ile business, as well as carrying automobile parts and accessor ies and household appliances for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com pany. The make of automobile to be handled will be announced later. The adjoining lot was also pur chased and a 50 by 75 foot add ition will be built to the present building, which is 50 by 90 feet in size. The addition will be used as a show room, office and stock |00,000 corporation is be- [led. Mr. Mason will be [ of the business. Dumber burns Monday the Southern |men were called to the Training School in Jithern Pines, ^here a lumber near the school |id a hot fire. No'build ergeredr Two boys who gave their ages as sixteen years and their names and addresses as Allen C: Mor an and Robert S. Poole, of Ken sington, Md., had their trip to Florida nipped in the bud Mon day, just by making the mistake of parking at the wrong place at the wrong hour of the day for a nap, without giving any thought to the vigilance of local police of- :acers. C. R. Cook and W. J. Sessoms of the force saw the car, a 1941 Mercury convertible,' parked on Ashe Street near Rhode Island Avenue at 1:00 p. m. Monday, with the sleeping boys inside, and started an investigation. They learhed that the car had been stolen from Alexandria, Va., at 2. a. m. December 29. Poole ad mitted that this was his second car stealing offense, also that he had been up for house breaking but Moran said it was his first. Both boys, according to Chief Newton, look older than sixteen years. They were turned over to Federal officers. Lt. Commander Fred B. Gary, USN, of Alexandria arrived in Southern Pines and claimed the car Wednesday morning and was happy to recover it. Chief dam age to the automobile consisted of broken locks and cut wires. Williard J. Ball has been chosen by the Chamber of Commerce, it is announced, to fill temporari ly the position vacated by the re cent resignation of Colonel Don ald Madigan. The new temporary secretary will take up immediately the business of carrying out and clos ing the fund drive accounts, for which work he is especially well- qualified. A graduate of Harvard, 13, and a practicing architect for many years. Ball spent some time during the war doing auditing and accounting at Camp Lejeuns. Since then he spent 15 months with the British Ministry of War Transport in Ne^r York, prior to coming to Southern Pines. Mrs. Ball is a secretary at the Red Cross office. The Chamber announces, fur ther, that arrangements are being made to fill permanently the pos ition of executive secretary with a local young man, Herrmann Grover. A leader in the splendid work with the Teen-Age group which has played such a largo part in Chamber of Commerce ac tivities, Grover is a veteran of World War II, and a member o. AVC. It is confidently expected that his appointment as perma nent executive secretary will bi a most popular one with all mem bers and ‘townspeople. Opening their official season against Vass-Lakeview High School here Tuesday Night, the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams of Southern Pines High embark on what is perhaps the most am bitious schedule in the school’s history. Tuesday night’s twin bill is the first of an eleven gam., home card booked for the season, featuring three teams that were top flight contenders in last year’s Eastern Championship Title race. Pittsboro High, the first of these lams, comes here January 24th, followed by Morehead City on Friday and Saturday nights, Jan uary 31st, and February 1st. Morehead will also bring their junior varsity club which will alay preliminary games Friday nd Saturday nights with the local junior varsity team. Pittsboro, last year’s Eastern tinner up, was eleminated by Jonesboro’ High, semi-finalist, vho were in turn beaten by Sou- . ern Pines. The local team then rent on to defeat Morehead at Chapel Hill on the UNC court for the Eastern Championship in i spectacular battle that saw the core Hed four times. An added ttrretion of the coming game is that Gary Mattocks, formerly a guard on the Jonesboro team, will again play, but this time he will perform against his old ;,eam mates at his old guard posi- ition but in a new uniform, the alue and White. How the present basket ball team will measure, up to the great record and play of last club is, right now, much of a ques- -on. Many people in general and :oac;, Dawson in particular, would like to know the answer. Dawson’s big headache at the mo- .ment, is finding reserves to plug ne gaps lofr by last year’s gradua- Jon of four star performers: Wor- (Continued on Page 8) H.

Season Tickets To Be Sold For Basketball E. C. Stevens chairman of the Citizens Committee, has announ ced that his organization, which sponsored the successful season football ticket sales, will again sponsor the sale of the basket- ball season tickets. Mr. Stevens said that the price for an adult season ticket was $3.p0 and $1.5c for the children. “The Athletic Association advi ses me,” Stevens said, ‘'“that the single game admission for adults was- 50c. Buying a season ticket for $3.00 not only saves the pur chaser $2.50 over the single game admission, but it will also be of great help to the school which bas just recently had to make a considerable outlay for uniforms and other equipment for the girl’s and boy’s teams. I’m sure that our community will again back up with their personal sup port, the outstanding athletic records of our high school.” Blue Names More 1 Cliairmen Polio Drive Dj'O 'o: A i The Christmas horse show and gymkhana held at the Southern Pines Country Club ring on Sun day afternoon brought out a big crowd of spectators to enjoy the warm weather and varied pro gram. With emphasis on fun and excitement rather than serious horse showing,, the classes for jumpers, riders, and the games seemed' to delight the holiday . udience. The Walsh family walked sway with most of the honors, both in riding and jumping. Miss Kathleen won the ladies’ horse manship, and her sister, Joan, rode with her father to win the pair jumping. This latter class brought out most of the exciting performances, notably that of the Caddell girls. These intrepid riders had a handful in their two small, clever but difficult mounts, both of whom sat down neatly side-by-side at the first fence, m the most abrupt refusals of New Represeniative Reiterates Stand On Important Measures With the opening of the State Legislature only a few daysaway. H.

Mr. Bue, pubisher-editor of the Sandhill Citizen, begins his legis lative career with the good wishes of the people of Moore County, whose generous support at the polls evidenced their con fidence in him. The letter, in full, follows: “With the convening of the 1947 session of the North Caro lina General Assembly on next Wednesday, January 8, many items of debate and of outstand ing importance to the people of Moore County and of North Caro lina will be decided by the duly chosen representatives from each of the 100 counties in the State. “As your elected representative from Moore Couhty, I expect to inform myself on the many is sues coming up for solution and vote in accordance with the gen eral wishes of the citizens of Moore County whom I represent, (Continued on Page 8> Ark School Gives Christmas Pageant On Dgcember 20th, the Ark School held its annual Christmas party.

The first class, for hunters, was won by Stonewall, a six-year-old bay owned and ridden by Miss Anne Cannon Reynolds of West Palm Beach. Star Dust, owned and ridden by Miss Jean Overton, was second with Scotch and Soda if the Tate Stables, third. Mrs. ■Kennedy’s three-year-old chest nut, ridden by Mrs. Moss, would have won hands down on confor mation, it is surmised, but put in i green performance that kept him out of the ribbons. The Walshes were again first with Huba Huba in the Knock down and Out class, after a jump- off set at 5 1-2 feet. Romance, owned and ridden by Sylvester Lauderdale was second, with ' Jickey Walsh’s Not Ready third. The children’s horsemanship ;lass was well-filled and was won by Bob Hobson, Jean Overtqn nd Fay Caddell in that order. Most excitement was aroused >ver the Potato Race, actually a vnockdoWn, drag-out melee in which Corbett Alexander’s Pine- lurst team beat Mickey Walsh’s iouthern Pines outfit by one point. Judges for the afternoon were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wilmshurst.
