Society and Personals of the Sandhills JACKIE WURZBACHER, EDITOR PHONE 7271 OR 5262 j Old Home Week In Cartagena There’s nothing, it is said, quite so nice as meeting up with an old friend when you are both far from home. Anyway, it is reliably reported that there was right good feeling in the exotic old port of Cartagena, a while back, when Doris Eddy Gentsche dropped in on Richard Wilson. The Gentsches, Judge Walter and Doris, of Jaffrey, N. H., were on a Carribbean cruise. When they found that they were to touch at Cartagena they remem bered that Dick Wilson, formerly of Southern Pines, lived there. Now employed by the Andian Oil Co., a subsidiary of Standard, Wilson has been in business there for several years, with only an occasional visit home. The Wilsons entertained the Gentsches for dinner and then they went to a Spanish movie presented in the theatre, an ex bullfight ring. The two Southern Pines folks had a big time talking over old days in the Sandhills and Mrs. Gentsche, (Doris, to us) reports that the Wilsons have a lovely home and four equally attractive children, the last two twin girls. Donna Dawson Has Birthday Party Little Donna Dawson was the “birthday girl” last Monday, and guest of honor at a party the pre ceding Saturday afternoon given by her mother, .Mrs. A. C. DaW' son. Donna, four years old, was the recipient of many lovely gifts from her little friends who were guests at the party. Mrs. Dawson had decorated the home to carry out the valentine theme and the favors which each child received were little valen tine bags chock full of candy. Games were played, after which Mrs. Dawson served ice cream and birthday cake which was attractive with four lighted candles.

Youthful Artist Gives Magic Show A “magic show” held at 240 North Ridge avenue last Friday night drew quite a crowd of peo ple, despite the sleet—around 35 in fact—to watch with amaze ment and delight as a proficient young magician did his tricks- The magician was John Chap pell, eight years old; the locale of the show, his room at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. FVed Chappell. Both adults and chil dren were in his audience. Assisted by Michael Childs, John gave a 40-minute show which included the trick of the Disappearing Wand, the Obedient Ball-on-String, a Telepathy Act with a doUar bill, the Magic Ring and numerous others, culled from books and other sources which John studies as a hobby—and maybe a future career. One fine trick which won the unanimous approval of the ahdi- ence was one in which chocolate candy was made to appear from an empty cloth, and was then served to the guests. ' After the show the movie pro jector was brought forth, and comedies and newsreel shots of the wedding of Princess Elizabeth were shown. Assisted by his mother, John served hot choco late and gingerbread to the com pany. J. Elmer Harrington has re turned to the Southland hotel from Bethlehem, N. H.

Special Cachet The regular postmark will be used here, said Postmaster Hall, and also a special cachet which may be placed on the covers in advance of the flight date. The cachet stamp is to be sent here by the post office department. Also to be received here are airmail forms, pouches and other accessories of a post office which delivers directly to the plane— also. Hall said he hoped, a good many more instructions. “This is all new to us,” he said. “There are many differences from the us ual mail, with a lot for us to learn. However, we are certainly look ing forward to having airmail service out of Resort airport, and surely hope the project goes through as scheduled. As time goes on it should prove to be of great benefit to us here in the Sandhills. While it can improve very little on the excellent north- south service we are already get ting by train, it can help a great deal in speeding mail east and west.” Many Navy enlisted men are appointed to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis each year. SNOW AND SLEET (Continued from Page 1) inches. Sun Shines Again Cloudy weather after the snow ended cleared slowly during the ensuing days until by Tuesday the Sandhills sunshine was sparkling again, and by Wednes day a rising temperatpre, plus the sun, was aiding the street and highway cleaning crews at their work. Accidents of a minor nature were numerous, and skidding cars suffered damage, but no serious injuries were recorded and there was no local report of arrests in , connection with any automobile accident. County schools, closed all last week on account of the weather, were stiU closed during the early part of this week, and the Sou thern Pines schools had their one and only weather-holiday Mon day of this week. Hurt By Snowball A casualty of the snow was Fred Arnette, high school stu dent who was painfully injured Monday afternoon when some 100 boys of both the Southern Pines and West Southern Pines schools engaged in a good-natured snow ball fight on some vacant lots on Leake street. Blame was attached to no one in the accident, in which a flying snowball knocked the boy uncon scious- The battle ended immed iately as the boys sought first to get a doctor, then called the city police to aid the injured youth. The police took him at once to the Moore County hospital, where he spent the night, but was discharged Tuesday and re turned to school. Cars driven by Harry Gage, of Southern Pines, and A. C. Spears, of Clio, S. C., who was headed south on Highway 1, skidded into a collision at the Massachusetts Avenue intersection of the high way Monday afternoon. Both cars were somewhat damaged but no one was reported hurt. PILOT NEWSBOY (Continued from Page 1) try. Another is the physical ad vantage.
