Elks Entertain
Members, Guests
At Chicken Fry
Pleasure and promotion of Elk-
dom were happily combined' at a
chicken fry for members and
guests, held by the Sandhills
lodge, BPOE, at their clubhouse
on South May street Wednesday
evening.
Jack Carter, exalted ruler of
the lodge, gave welcome to the
more than 175 assembled on the
lawn, and told the reason for the
gathering — disemination among
ilon-memberi-, of ihe principles
of Elkdom ‘‘in such a manner
that the tenets of the order will
appeal to right thinking men so
they will desire to become affili
ated with it.”
He presented the guest speaker
D. Staton Inscoe, past exalted
ruler ^of the Raleigh lodge and
newly elected vice president of
the North Carolina Elks associa
tion, who outlined BPOE prin
ciples, and its many services ren
dered in the fields of charity and
Welfare.
Other guests presented were
John Prescott of Raleigh, past
aistrict deputy of the eastern dis
trict; George Vick, exalted ruler,
Raleigh; Lon Sears, chaplain of
the Raleigh lodge, and Woodrow
Sears, member of the Raleigh
lodge.
L. D. McDonald and Jack Con
rad of the local lodge were in
charge of the supper, cooked out
doors and served with all the
“fixings.”
The Sandhills lodge, only 15
months old, has 130 members in
the Sandhills area.

aid from other sources.
All court fines go toward the
schools’ current expenses. These
were some $10,000 during 1945-
46 and will prdbably be more this
year.
ABC Help
Also, a very large share of the
county’s part of the ABC store
profits is turned' over to the
schools.
A check for $115,000, for the
fiscal year ending June 30, has
been received by the county'from
the ABC board, and it is indicated
that better than two-thirds will
be turned over to the schools. The
general fund and “poor fund” will
also profit considerably.
With everything going up,
there’s comfort in knowing of one
item which goes down—the in
terest on the county’s debts, as
these are paid off through debt
servicing. Last year $33,085 was
budgeted for this purpose, includ
ing the term bonds for the build
ing of the Qourthojuse, county
finding bonds and road and bridge
bonds issued before the state took
over this work.
The completed budget for 1947-
48 is to be presented by the com
missioners at their regular meet
ing the first Monday iii July.
IN BRIEF
Senator Wilbur H. Curire, of
Carthage, chairman o^ the Sen
ate Highway and Public Works
Committee, declared Wednesday
in an address to the Sandhills Ki-
wanis Club of Moore County at
the Skycruise Club, that the re
cently adjourned legislature en
acted sortie of the most far-reach
ing legislation in the history of
the state, from a financial view
point.
Touching upon the various ap
propriations, he stated tlje legis- l_
lature set up approximately 128
million dollars for public schools
12 million for institutions of high
er learning, 15 million for mental
and charitably institutions,- 9
million for contributions for
health, aged, and infirm, 10 mil
lion for retirement of teachers
and' state employees, 17 1-2 mil
lion for other state functions—a
total of approximately 193 million
dollars.
In referring tojhe mental and
charitable institulions he pic
tured the conditions in mental
institutions in the state as de
plorable and said the correction
of these wgs the number 1 pro
ject of the 1947 general assem
bly.
Highway Safely
Mr. ^Currie referre'H to Senate
Bill Number 166, enacted to pro
vide safety on state highways,
as one of the most important pie
ces of legislation passed dufing
the season. He declared North
Carolina now stands third in high
way fatalities and pointed out
most of the accidents were due
to speed and to needed repairs to
brakes, steering apparatus, etc.
He stated the new bill, of
which he is sponsor, 'limits the
speed on the highways to 55 miles
per hour, beginning July 1st and
it was the hope of the Highway
Department to double the num
ber of highway patrolmen.
Driver Exams
Continuing, he said all drivers
will be re-examinqd and licensed,
examination of persons whose
names begin with “A” and “B”
to be made betwpen now and
January 1st. Drivers will be re
examined every four years. In
spection of vehicles will start in
January 1948. Certificates for
these will be good for one year.
Ssnato.r Currie was preceded
by Representative Clifton Blue,
of Aberdeen, who spoke briefly
on several of the statewide bills
of controversial nature, such as
the closed shop, which brought
much opposition frhm organized
labor, and the fireworks bill,
which bans the sale of fireworks
in 'che state.
In conclusion, ne declared that
of the 1610 bills and resolutions
introduced, 1129 were passed.
The speakers were introduced
by Leon Seymour, of Aberdeen.

'Family Affair" Lands
Two In Hospital
Willie Lee Frye and Curtis
Frye, brothers, of Pinehurst, were
admitted to the Moore County
hospital Saturday night, suffer
ing from numerous wounds re
sulting from what police describ
ed as ‘‘a family affair.”
Curtis was discharged Moijday,
but Willie Lee, the more serious
ly hurt of the two, is expected to
be there several days longer. He
has lacerations of the scalp and a
slight skull fracture.
The “affair” took place at the
home of Willie Lee, about a half
mile distant from the home of
Curtis. An argument arose and the
brothers are said to have used
both fists and knives in an effort
to get it settled. Other members
of the family are- said to have
been present but it was not re
ported that they joined in.
No charges have been preferred
and probably won’t be, police
said. Both brothers have court
records in which affray- figures
as a frequent charge.
After 15 and a half heartrend
ing and hardworking -months.
Carter’s laundry is just about
ready to go back into business—:
though-some 80 per cent of Jack
Carter’s former customers whom
he continued resourcefully to
serve, have never thought of him
as out of business.
Burned out March 7, 1946, in
one of the most disastrous fires
ever to take place here, the lauh
dry will open partial service next
week, in its huge, new, modernly
equipped building representing
an investment of around $100,000
—the largest and most up-to-date
commercial establishment in Sou
thern Pines.
The service which will be open
ed next Monday will be a new
one to the local business—dry
cleaning, withi a feturn at the
same time to the pleasant, pre
war custom of local pick-up and
delivery by truck. The laundry
part of the bu'siness will be re
opened within the next 30 days,
or as fast as the new equipment
can be installed, said Carter.
Shuttle Service
Hardly had the smoke died
down after destruction of the ori
ginal building when Carter was
at work filling in a gap which
lasted more than a year—plying
back and forth to Hamlet, where
the Sanitary Laundry and Celan-
ing company had been operating
as a subsidiary of the local firm.
It became headquarters while the
new building was being built. For
the past few months a part of the
new building here has served as
a branch office, and business went
ahead, not quite as usual, but-very
Well.
“To all my friends and cus
tomers who have borne with us
during this Itrying time,” said
Carter this week, “I want to say
a great big ‘thank you’. They
kept us in business and now
we’re going to be able to
serve them far better than ever
before.”
A trip to his new plant will
convince' you this is no idle 'talk.
With more, than 10,000 square
feet of space, it is more than twice
as large as the old one, and can,
says Carter, take care of five
times the business.
Automatic Machines
- A 'Complete new line of ma
chinery- has been installed, the
“Prosperity” line of automatic
units to do every chore of the
business in the most modern and
efficient way. A synthetic sol-
■vent, perchlorethylene, a new
product of DuPont and the{ Dow
Chemigal company, is used, and
this, with the automatic features
of the machinery, practically
eliminates fire or explosion haz
ard.
The equipment, says Carter, is
the finest, most modern south of
Washington, D. C. It includes a
dry cleaning machine, washers,
about 20 irohers, a huge rug
cleaning apparatus, an oil-fired
boiler and various other units.
The plant has' fluorescent light
ing throughout, vast window
space, modern, ventilation. It is
of brick and steel construction.
Carter hopes now the hard-
luck period of his life is over.
He’s experienced a Florida hurri
cane, had one,business washed
away bji a flood at Elkin, been
burned out in Southern, Pines and
was also recently visited' by safe
robbers. There was nothing in
the safe for them to .rpb,..but they
ruined the safe while they were
Campbell To Go
On Canoe Mission
For Boy Seouts
W. D. Campbell, Boy Scout dis
trict commissioner and a mem
ber of the executive committee of
Region 6, Boy Scouts of Ameri
ca, has been picked for an unus
ual job and interesting mission
this summer in connection with
his Boy Scout volunteer work.
He will accompany H. Smith
Richardson, chairman of Region
6, and W. A. Dofeson, regional ex
ecutive, on a 200-mile canoe trip
through the lakes of Wisconsin
and Canada, studying wilderness
camping as it is said to' have
been virtually perfected in Re
gion 10.
Camping leaders of that region
will accompany the expedition,
during which their procedures
will be studied to see how they
may be applied, or adapted, to
the wilderness camping prograna
of Region 6, the southea3tern
states.
Campbell will prepare for his
trip with a course in wilderness
camping for senior unit leaders
to be held at Camp Hanover,
near Franklin, in the North Caro
lina mountains the weekend of
June 20. He will go to Wisconsin
August 1 for the canoeing expe
dition, for which he was chosen
by Chairman Richardson.
Team Outclassed
But Still Game
In Legion Play
finding that out.
Carter established the business
at Hamlet in 1936 and came to
Southern Pines in 1941 to-start an
other. Southern Pines became his
home and headquarters. From the
plant here he gradually expand
ed service to cover various other
towns of the section, with regu
lar pick-up routes he has contin
ued as well as he could since the
war. When ODT restrictions went
into effect, he and others in sim
ilar businesses here had to put
Southern Pines on a “cash-and-
carry” basis.
Served Hospital
During all the period of hard
ships, Carter’s proUd of the fact
that he maintained daily service
for the Moore County hospital.
The new plaqt will employ
from 50 to 60 local people, once
the laiindry service is resumed
here. At present there are -10 in
the dry cleaning portion. 'Thirty-
five were employed at the time of
the fire. He has retained about
15 key employees during the in
terim, and these will assist in
training the new employees.
Carter’s laundry is a corpora
tion, with J. F. Carter as presi
dent, E. S. Carter vice president
and secretary, and W. G. Carter
as the third director.
Mrs. W. E. Flaherty and young
son, Danny, left Thursday even
ing to join her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John Ferguson and -the
Charles S. Patch family at Kure’s
Beach for a lew days’ vacation.
J. F. Hodge of Raleigh and Miss
Mary McDonald will join the
group for the weekend.
Mi'S. A. C. Ritchie and daugh
ters, Marilyn and Shirley, and
Mrs. Marc Andrews of Akron,
Ohio, motored to Southern Pines
where Mrs. Ritchie and daughters
are visiting her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. William Dale for •the week.
Mrs.. Andrews is visiting her pa
rents in Mt. Gilead.
With five games behind therri,
and all of them defeats, the Moore
County Juniors played on this
week with dauntless spirit, with
plenty of chances ahead of them
to better their rceord as they meet
other Junior Legion . teams
throughout-the state.
They’ve had the luck, for good
or for ill, to meet the champs
first and improve their mettle by
taking their lickings early. Comr
petent observers say’ their 'play
ing has definitely improved since
the. start, when most of them
joined the team straight from high
school exams, and that their fans
can look forward to some excel
lent galmes. /
Games during the past week
were Tuesday at Rockwell, whose
strong hitting kept them to a 11-1
score and last Thursday at Mon
roe, an undefeated, hard hitting
machine. The score stood at 1-0
until • the seventh inning, when
Moore County’s first and only
errors opened the way for five
quick runs by Monroe. Final
score—8-1.
The Saturday game at Ashe-
boro was rained out.
Beginning Thursday, June 5, the
entry of the Moore County Amer
ican Legion posts bit the dust
25-1 before the powerful Kannap
olis team, 1946 ' Junior Legion
champs. On Saturday of that
week they went to Hamlet, where
they were again far outclassed.
This, however, was one time they
scored more than once for at the
close the big boards showed Ham
let 21—^Moore County 3. 'Tues
day, June 10, the local lads were
hosts to the Albemarle tfeam, an
other powerhouse, and here they
did their best to date, losing only
4 to 1.
The lineup for this game, which
has remained substantially the
same in all, included Dickerson,
2b; Stewart, c; Mattocks, ss; Ba
ker, cf; Newton, 3b; J. Smith, p;
McCoU, rf; Cheek, If; PleasSnts,
lb.
A game was scheduled yester
day (Thursday) at Troy.
Tomorrow night (Saturday) the
Moore lads will meet their old
foes of Kannapolis at Kannapolis,
arid a hot game is anticipated.
They’re all set to give the Towel
City Juniors some surprises.
There will be one home game
next week, with Richmond
County Tuesday, at the local ath
letic field. The week’s schedule
will then take them to Albemarle
Thursday and to Monroe Satur
day, June 28 (a night game).
'The.series will climax with a
home game July 4.
Naomi's Opens Branch
At Myrtle Beach
Continuing their field trips
see what goes on behind
scenes in the production of things
they use in everyday life. Cub
Scouts of the Southern Pines
pack, -yvith their den mothers aqd
Cubmaster A. L. Burney, Mon
day afternqon visited three Aber
deen plants.
Shown through the Coca-Cola
plant by J. C. Seymour, manager,
they were greatly interested in
the all-mechanical pr9cedure of
sterilizing, filling and capping the
bottles, and also in sampling the
product through^ courtesy of the
plant.
At the Aberdeen Packing com
pany, Knox Matthews, manager,
showed them the preparation of
beef and pork for the cooler,
storage . methods, the cutting up
of the meats apd the manufac
ture of sausage.
• Through courtesy of S. L. ind-
ham, manager, they then toured
the City Ice and Fuel company,
learning how ice is made and
stored for delivery to consumers,
and for the icing of refrigerator
cars by conveyor belt.
About 30 boys made the tours,
and will win achievement
credits by the writing of compo
sitions on what they learned.
Next Monday they will visit
The Pilot and Resort airport.
Reserve Unit Gets
Under Wsay Here
On last Friday, June 13th, „
meeting to organize Company M,
321st Infantry Regiment, 81st Di
vision, the reserve unit for this
section of North Carolina, was
held at the American Legion hut.
Attended by a small group of
earnest young men, the meeting
was addressed by Wescott Clin
ton of Southern Pines, who has
been named executive officer.
Clinton explained that such re
serve units were being formed by
the federal government because
of the confusion and valuable
time lost at the beginning of the
last war anfl with an eye to pre
paredness for' future trouble,'
either foreign or domestic.
,“The training program,” Clin
ton said, “has* t^een set up to be
gin at the next meeting and in
cludes such basic military sub
jects as Organization of the Re
serve Corps, Customs of the Ser
vice, Discipline, Signal Com
munications, Military Informa
tion, Censorship, and later
Weapons of the Infantry.”
Next meeting of the unit will
be Friday, June 27, at 8 p. m. at
the Legion hiit. Jack Read is C.
O. and Harold Fowlej: an officer
of the group.
PEACH CROP

was the Mayflower, which start
ed selling June 2 in South Part)-
lina and finished here June 13, a
small crop which brought only
$5.50 a bushel on the New York
market. Last' Monday the Red
Birds started coming in, two
weeks later than last year, and
in only about one-fourth the
quantity. They brought an $8.50
top in New York. The best crop
from around here was that of the
Aldred orchard'at Ellerbe, Stew
art said.
Another disappointment has
been the fact that no crop at all
was made this year on the large
Chapin orchard i near Pinehurst,
which last year produced 1,800
bushels. t
