Those who voted in the Demo cratic or Republican primaries need not worry whether they are registered. Those Qualified to vote in the primaries are qualified to vote in the regular election, and m the improbable event of failure to enter a name on the general reg istration book as well as the pri mary registration book, there should be no difficulty in having the error corrected.. Those who were qualified to vote in the primaries, but who did not do so for some reason, may vote November 2 without further registration. Special and General However, registration in special local elections, such as the recent school bond elections in Southern Pines and the county, does not mean you are registered for the general election. Special and gen eral elections, and their registra tion books, are entirely separate. Warning io Veterans made in persoin. An exception was made in an act passed in 1943 for persons in the armed forces. Thousands of North Carolinians registered for the 1944 election under this iaw. \ These registrations, however, were temporary and applied only to that one election.

Books Purged One other thing: books were recently purged of voters believ ed to have been removed from these precincts, but if you are a qualified voter, and find your name has been purged, all you have to do is satisfy the registrar at any time of your qualifications. If in doubt as to whether you are qualified to vote, or if your name is on the books—check with your registrar!

On the first day parties from Greensboro, Charlotte, Raleigh, Mt. Airy, Durham, Lexington, Asheboro and other places joined local hunters in the pursuit of the buck. They tallied about 10 the first day, and a goodly nurnber since. One group which has really been enjoying the first week is the D. C.

Reason, according to a cablegram received Wednes day by The Pilot: she was in an automobile accident, in which her collarbone was broken. She is progressing well, the cablegram said, but her sailing wiR be delayed for several weeks. She is in the AlneAcan hds- pitah Paris, and her mail ad dress is the Royal hotel, Paris. Her daughter Nancy is also in Paris, where she has ent^ed school for the winter. The Pilot is anxiously awaiting further details, which will be passed on to Pilot readers.

Blue club stops at two bucks each day, and hardly a day has passed this week that they have not made this mark. Gets His Buck One richly rewarded hunter with the D. C. Blue clubT has been W. B. Rowe, of Washington and Ab erdeen, who is visiting his broth er, Judge J. Vance Rowe, at Aber deen. After hunting for many years without ever killing a deer, he got his first buck on the sea- sdn’s opening day. It was a beau ty, but rather small, and on Tues day Mr. Rowe made* up for this by killing the largest of the sea son so far—a 185-pounder. If he never gets another deer he’ll be well satisfied with this year’s hunt, he says. Moore County Hunters Hunting with the club on Fri day and since have been the brothers Rowe, J. T. Overton, Will Rosey, L. B.

The fund raising campaign for Moore County Boy Scouts will get under way Monday, with hopes of raising the quota of $4,- 450 by the end of the week, ac cording to A. L. Burney, of South ern Pines, county chairman. The campaign is part of the Occoneechee Council drive to care for needs of its Boy Scout pro gram in 11 counties. The Moore County program has in the past few years become one of the most outstanding of the Council, actual ly of the whole southeastern re gion. Its continued upward prog ress is dependent on the raising of the minimum fund which has been set, emphasized Mr. Burney, who is .himself a hard-working scouter, serving as district ad vancement chairman this year, after a year as chairman of organ ization and extension. All citizens, whether they have a Boy Scout in their family or not, are asked to contribute to this cause of building better youth for future good citizenship. The Boy Scout program is proved as a character builder. Beginning with the Cub Scout program and on through the. Senior Scouts (of which the county now has three units), the program takes in boys from nine years to 19 or 20. Community chairmen (or spon sors) and quotas were, announced by Chairman Burney as follows: Aberdeen, A1, Cruce, $750 (of which $250 is to be dedicated to local uses); Southern Pines', Lloyd T. Clark, $1,100; Manly, L. F. Gar vin, $50; Vass, W. C. Hoyle, $200; West End, W. A. Johnson, Jr., $250; Carthage, Joe E. Allen, $450; Cameron, American Legion post, $150; Pinehurst to be ap pointed, $700; Eureka, Presbyte rian church, $50; Eagle Springs, Presbyterian church, $50; High- falls, John Currie, $70; Robbins, Rev. W. O. Nelson, $600. Night thieves entered Ethel Pate’s Curb Way Friday night, for the fourth break-in at the road side restaurant in two and a half months, and also broke into Jack- son Motors for the second in the same length of time. Whereas previous raiders at Pate s, August 7 and September 14, had appeared to want only cash (and they got it) this time they were apparently both hun gry and destructive. Mrs. Pate said they ate chunks out of a number of fresh-baked pies, strew ing the rest on the floor; consum ed numerous biscuit, spread peas and barbecue dbout and generally messed up the interior of the large refrigerator, ending up by leaving the door standing open. They ransacked the cigar and cigarette case (though it could not be determined if any of these were missing) ate peanutg. Nabs and cookies, took a quantity of canned goods, and cleaned the cash register of an indeterminate number of pennies. Front Glass Removed Though they cut a back screen door, entry was apparently ef fected through the front door, whose glass had been cracked.’ The glass was removed and the door opened from the inside. The place was left in a generally un tidy condition, which was not the case On the other occasions. Besides the three times loss was known to have been sus tained, a break-in was made there the night of September 13, it was (Continued on Page 5) Blue And White, Lexington Orphans Will Meet Here In Homecoming Classic Stiff Contest Seen Against Strong Team, "Fighting Spirit" Those ‘pesky’ Orphans from the Lexington Junior Home are com ing.

Last par’s game was no excep- lon. Played before some 2,0000 spectators including Governor Cherry, sports writers of the lead- ing state daily newspapers, radio sportscasters, and college athletic directors, the game was the hard- pt fought of them all. For the Lexington team, behind two tpchdowns and facing defeat for t e first time in 29 games never gave up, and the terrific fight they put up to remain in the pnks of the undefeated is still talked of here. Fought Strong Foes The record of the Blue and White IS just a shade better than -the Orphans this year, but a pance at the schedule shows that m winning five straight Western Conference games, the Lexington team may have had stiffer compe- htion than the locals.

Mr. Jackson Accepts Call To Birmingham Pulpit The Rev. J. Lamar Jackson pastor of the First Baptist church since December, 1946, has tender ed his resignation, effective after the first Sunday in November, to go .as psstor to the Ensley Baptist church, largest in the city of Bir mingham, Ala. The resignation, offered at the local church’s business meeting and fellowship supper held last Thursday evening; was accepted by the board of deacons with ex pressions of deep regret, and of gratitude to Mr. Jackson fcr his excellent work here in the past 22 months. The church here has known an extraordinary growth during his pastorate, adding 146 new mem bers to the congregation as the Sunday school has increased from 111 to 170 in average attendance, and the Training Union has more than tripled, from 17 to 55. The congregation, now more than doubled, to a number of 248, made total contributions, for all causes, of $25,840.64 during the past 12 months. Pulpit Committee The board of deacons, which had been apprised some weeks ago cf the possibility that, their pastor might answer the Ensley church s call, formed a pulpit committee, for the selection and call of a new pastor, consisting of S.

The golfers will be the guests of Roy Grinnell and Russ Birch, operators of the Pine Needles, who are waiving the green fees for the occasion.

Officers of the Sandpipers are George Pottle, president; Robert N. Page of Aberdeen, vice-presi dent; and Elmer E. Davis of Southern Pines, secretary-treas urer. Southern Pines will be again decked out in all its finery for the Annual Homecoming Football game, according to Tom Wicker, secretary of both the Chamber of Commerce and Merchants’ associ ation. Both these organizations are sponsoring the contest of win dow decorations in connection with the game carried on so suc cessfully by the Chamber last year. Windows are to be decorated Monday the 25th and all lights in windows left on both Monday night and Tuesday night. Unbias ed judges will select the winner of the grand prize Wednesday morning.

Honor able mention will be given one runner-up in each division. Window decorations are to tie in the store’s merchandise with the Homecoming game between Southern Pines and Lexington Orphanage Wednesday.

Franjean’s came out on top in the clothing store category, and Mack’s Five and Ten captur ed the miscellaneous prize. “Miss Southern Pines” the high school queen of beauty and popularity—will be chosen this season by .a somewhat novel method, and will be crowned with due pomp and ceremony at inter mission of the big Homecoming game with the Lexington Orphan age here next Wednesday after noon. Three glamor girls have been selected by vote of the student body, and a big campaign is under way, of the sort to miake the cur rent presidential election look like small potatoes. Each girl has her campaign managers, and these are busy rustling up votes at five cents per vote, for. the benefit of the 1949 annual. ^ The candidates are Louise Mil- liken, last year’s Southern Pines .“Princess” at the Charlotte Christ mas festival; Janet Menzel, last • year’s “Miss Southern Pines” in the school beauty contest; and Betty Jean Hurst, runner-up last fall to Janet Menzel. The winner is due for continu- ing fun and glory. Besides being crowned at the game here, she wiU represent the Southern Pines High school at the Charlotte Christmas festival November 17. Some two dozen beautiful young ladies from North and South Car olina towns will be given the time of their lives on that occasion, with a parade, football game, a ball, gifts and glamor galore on their schedule. Louise Milliken, a statuesque brunette, as Nelia Johnson and Janet Cornwell as her campaign managers. Betty Baucom and Catherine Sitterson are handling the campaign of the cameo-blonde Janet Menzel, Betty Jean Hurst, a fair-skinned ‘‘brownette”, has three managers—Edna Lou Bai- leyr John O’Callaghan and John ny Beasley. All are busy as can be and anyone is fair game for their vote-collecting—at school, down street, at home or any where. They’re not particular— they just want those votes, and they wiU accept them right up to game time, 3 p. m. Wednesday. The annual is a senior class project and the contest and beau ty queen election are being spon- so-red by the class of 1949, of which John O’Callaghan is presi dent, Miss Aline Todd faculty ad visor.
