COUNTY FAIR
fContinued from Page 1)
said Chairman G. M. Cameron.
“'I t)elieve that in your hands an
agricultural fair would be a credit
to the county.”
A suggestion was made that
some county land might be made
available for the permanent fair
ground, if the project goes
through.
MRS. McCAIN

no present medical facilities;
number two has some but need'
more, and number three is the al
ready well-established hospital
that aims to grow into a large
medical center.”
It appears that, in the pldn, if
those in the first category do not
act fast and subscribe for all
funds allotted,the second priority
will inherit whatever is left; thus
emphasizing the advantage of
speed and ^ readiness to apply at
once.
“I believe we really are ready
to go now,” Mrs. McCain added,
“and I look forward to a wonder
ful advance in health standards
in our state during the years
ahead.”
Mountain Camping
Planned For Scouts
Plans for the 1947 Occoneechee
Council Mountain camp August
3-10, limited this year to senior
scouts, were announced this week
by Bonner Sawyer, of Hillsboro
council camping chairman.
Registrations are limited and
applications should be sent direct
to the Occoneechee Council of
fice, Raleigh, where they will be
accepted in the order they are re
ceived. Boy Scouts applying
should be in top physical condi
tion on account of the strenuou
activities of the camp, such as
mountain climbing and explora
tion trips, conducted from the
base camp at Smokeinont, in
Great Smioky Mountain park.
Field Executive L. W. Hewett
of this district will be one of the
camp assistants.
A’s and B’s, attention!
From July 1st to December 31st
is the time when those automo
bile drivers whose names begin
with A or B are supposed to go
to get their licenses renejved or
to get new ones,, under the recent
ly enacted “Safe Driving” bill.
Frye of Carthagp, license examin
ations in this section are B. J.
Frye of Carthage, licene examin-
here for several years, and
Walter E. Yow of Aberdeen. Yow,
who is new to the job, has recent
ly completed a two weeks course
given by the Highway Depart
ment at Chapel Hill for all would-
he exapiiners.
Examinations will include the
eye test, sign test, rule test and
road test, but thpse wishing to
familiarize themselves with these
tests will have to wait until the
local office receives the driving
literature, now unavailable, but
expected shortly.
The schedule of the examiners
is as follows:
B. J. Frye will be in Carth
age Mondays and' Tuesdays from
9 to 5, and Saturday mornings,
9 to 12; at Sanford Wednesdays
and Thursdays, and at Robbins
Friday mornings.
Walter E. Yow will be in Aber
deen Mondays, Tuesdays and
Wednesdays, from 9 to 5, and Sat
urday mornings, 9 to 12, and in
Raeford Thursdays and Fridays.
The Aberdeen location is not de
cided, but the Mid-South Motors
building, scene of the former li
cense office, is being used tem
porarily. Examiner Yow started
work there Monday,.and will be
there until a larger office
found.
In discussing the examinations,
Frye stated that, so far, the, old
drivers were having little trotibl^
in passing. Questioned about the
two| physical tests, he said the
eye test must show a 20-50 vision
in order to pass. If a driver’s eyes
were less than this he could go
to his doctor and if given a cer
tificate saying that the vision had
been corrected would be issued a
license. All the tests are admin
istered by the- examiners.

GAIL PATRICK
One farmer, W. A. Rosy, of]
near Aberd/een, reported dam
age done by ‘the second storm
just a-few hours after the adjust
ers had been to his farm regard
ing his first claim.
More than 100 acres were se
verely hurt on just three farms,
those of Joe Lucas, Rozelle Lu
cas and Land Kirk, and bad dam
age was found done also to the
crops of R. P. Beasley, near Sou
thern iPnes, and R. E. Beasley,
on Highway 1. ,
J. D. Arey, Jr., of Aberdeen,
also reported scattered claims,
and all agents consulted said the
storms were typical of the tradi
tional freak nature of summer
hail, which will strike one farm
and leave the next untouched,or
destroy crops ,m just qne corner
of a field without hurting the
rest.
Over many parts of the county
the storm was evidenced only by
severe wind, rain and electrical
disturbance, while in some there
were only showers. A number of
trees were struck' by lightening
but The Pilot has found no re
port of damage to buildings.
The hail also did bad damage
in sections of Lee, Harnett, Cum
berland and other neighbor coun
ties. A few farmers were fortun
ate enough td have already barn-
ed a good portion of their to
bacco.
Reports on the hail damage are
incomplete, it was emphasized by
McGraw, as adjusters do not make
their reports before the fifth day.
That is the dgy on which the dam
age Shows up most clearly.
The speaker was introduced by
Boyde Creath of Pinehurst.
Lcsyi Seymour inducted into
membership Dr. Thomas N. Lide
of Pinehurst, a member of the
staff of the Moore County hos
pital,and Leland McKeithen of
.Aberdeen.

would be required to spend large
i sums abroad for several years,
which could go to reducing the
national debt. However he called
this a good investment in peace
and prosperity.
In conclusion, he declared, the
present tiroes can be compared
with ‘27 and ‘28 except that
operating costs are higher. Hotels
here have not increased their
rates in proportion, and, as a
result, have built up good will
for the Sandhills section which

SPEEDBOAT RACES

oline also spewed out on the
water.
Disqualified for this heat, the
undaimted Lackey immediately
went to work on his engine and
got it in shape for the next.
Other hydroplane drivers were
Sweeney Prosser of Charlotta and
another Charlotte driver named
Todd (first name unavailable),
and winners were, in order: first
heat, Prosser, Todd, Lackey; sec
ond heat, Todd, Prosser; third
heat, Prosser, Todd, Lackey.
Runabouts
Another mishap occurred in the
second race, for Class B run
abouts, also run in three heats,
in the first of which H. A.
Abrams’ boat capsized at the far
end of the lake. A crash boat
went out at once, pulled Abrams
from the water and towed him
and his boa,t to the dock, where
he was able to re-work his motor
in time to Miter and win the last
heat.
Hugh Bell, of Wilmington, was
disqualified by motor trouble for
this race, and W. T. Howard of
Robbins was scratched. Partici
pating drivers were the two
brothers, H. A. and J. B. Adams,
of Wilmington; J. D. Meeks, Jr.,
Sanford; L. T. Underwood, High
Point; and a High Point team,
Hayworth and Napier.
Winners were the same in both
first and second heats—first place,
J. B. Abrams; second, Meeks, and
third, Hayworth-Napier. In the
third, winners were H. A
Abrams, J. D. Abrams, Hayworth-
Napier.
Bob Brown, of Trinity, assisted
in the manageiriient of the races.
They were conducted under a
loudspeaker system,, and the
drivers served as their own mech
anics.
Highway patrolmen assisted in
handling the hundreds of cars.
Which made quite a traffic prob
lem as they streamed out qn the
highway at the close of the ra,ces.
A large crowd remained to swim,
dance and take rides in the two
speedboats belonging to the
resort, with many having refresh
ments at the concession stands
and staying throughout the even
ing.

McGraw’s clainqs indicated far
worse damage done by the sec

deen agent, reported that his list
so far showed the first to have
been worse, with the Roseland
and Ashley Heights sections most
severely hit. In one or two cases
adjustment showed damage as
high as 77 per cent, Berg said.
More than 30 claims were filed
with Berg after the first storm,
chiefly from the Roseland, Ash-
