It' Town Lays MUe Of New Water Mains., Giving Much Added Fire Protection They’re All Winners-But Judge Igoe Gets The Trophy The town has just completed the laying of 2,000 additional feet cf water meins in West Southern Pines, making about 5,000 feet al together laid in the past four or five months. Some 1,700 feet of new sewer lines have also been laid, accord- ihg to Howard F. Burns, town clerk, who added that all this was done with considerable econ omy through use of town crews. The la5^ing of the new water mains gives fire protection to sev eral areas hitherto unprotected, or not adequately protected. Laid last summer wbs a stretch of main along Ohio avenue, from Mav .street to Youngs road; also, in West Southern Pines, on Leake street between Vermont and New Hampshire, and joining this at a right angle, Leake to Saylor on Connecticut. Another 600 feet of main was then laid along Vrlley road, south, from Orchard (or Oldfield) road, ending near the Joe Mon- tesanti home. Many Houses Protected The most recently completed section, which is also the long est, adjoins that previously laid in West Southern Pines, extending along Connecticut to Stephens street. This is a thickly populated section, with many frame houses. Hydrants for fire hose connec tions have been installed at every block along all the new water mains. Besides the added safety to life and property, home owners in these areas should be able to get reductions in their fire insur ance rates, it was learned. The new mains are of Johns- Manville Transite, a new cement- nary wear and tear. In addition, Transite does not corrode. Old Pipe to Be Re-Used The water line coming in fiom the city plant through West S >ii- thern Pines has been cut into the new water main at Stephens street, and the old pipes running through the swamp are being t ik- en up, Mr. Burns said. These he.it \ l cast iron pipes have been fouiiu to be in excellent shape. They will be laid elsewhere in West Southern Pines as the current pipe-laying program continues. The re-use of these mains will save the town something over $2,- 000, Mr. Burns estimated. The New Sewer Lines The new sewer lines which have just been laid include some 525 feet of eight-inch pipe along Tim ber lane in Edgewood, growing suburb on the north edge of town; 750 -feet of six-inch pipe along Highland road, beginning at' Mas sachusetts avenue and ending near the Dr. Kemp home; and 400 feet of eight-inch pipe going south on Broad street, almost to the inter section with Highway 1. The laying of these lines not only provides service for a num ber of new homes but will help develop new building, is is anti cipated. The line along Highland road was necessitated by the fact that a considerable area was being served by an old line, laid many years ago on private property, and over part of which a house had been built. Prospect of many complications in case the line should break, or repair work be needed for other causes, decided the board, to lay the new line, tying it in with present lines at Blue and White Team Is Conference Winner.

The call has been sounded by La ment Brown, president, to all Democrats to come and cele brate. Congressman C. B. Deane will be present, with his sec retary, John Lang, Jr., of Car thage. Capus Waynick, chair man of the state Democratic committee, is also expected. H. Clifton Blue, of Aberdeen, successful candidate for the Genercd Assembly and presi dent of the North Carolina YDC, will be present as a member of the club. On the basis of returns still in- compelte early this week. Rep. C. B. Deane of the Eighth district won over his Republican oppo nent, Lafayette Williams, by a majority five times as great as that of four years ago. In 1944, Deane’s majority over Wicker was 4,615, with 55,225 peo ple Voting. This year, returns from 158 out of 186 precincts showed 68,726 votes to have been cast—43,648 of them for Deane. His majority over Williams was so far 18,570, with prospects that the official returns (which are not expected to be available this week) will give him around 20,000 votes. On the unofficial basis, three counties, Davie, Yadkin and Wilkes, which are traditionally Republican, were the only ones not giving Deane the nod. Mapor- ities for Williams, however, were mighty slim,, and several other counties also Republican from way back turned up this year in the Democratic column. The incomplete tally: In Moore county, 16 out of 17 precincts reporting gave Deane 4,240 votes, Williams 2,172; An son, 12 out of 13, 3,258 and 251; Davidson, 34 out of 35, 9,366 and 7,884; Davie, seven out of 11, 1,- 880 and 1,937; Hoke (no precinct number) 1,403 and 91; Lee; 11 out of 14, 2,755 and 416; Montgomery, 12 out of 13, 2,583 and 1,817; Rich mond, 17 out of 17, 5,053 and 714; Union, 18 out of 23, 3,841 and 448; Wilkes, 21 out of 30, 5,025 and 5, 925; Yadkin, 10 out of 13, 1,- 736 and 3,193. Totals—43,648 and 25,078. The report was released by Rep resentative Deane with an ex pression of thanks for all those who had aided in Ris unequivoc.al victory. —^ ^ (Bhoto by Emerson Humphrey) Chamber Plans Big Barbecue At Mile-A way Farm December 1 Event For Band Uniforms H. Clifton Blue, of Aberdeen, this w^k also issued a statement of appreciation. This was to mem bers and workers of the North Carolina Young Democratic club, of which he is president. “Especially would I like to pay tribute to the fine organizational work done by Bedford W. Blhck, young Kannapolis attorney, and, the work in carrying forth the campaign done by Jeff B. Wil son,” Mr. Blue said. He added, “When the YDC con vention was held in Greensboro, the Young Democrats were brought face to face with the big 4ask before them. Within a week after the convention Black had been named director of organiza- (tioni, Wjilson campaign director and headquarters were being opened up in the Carolina hotel. The »Young Democrats organiza tion went to work in dead earnest. Up and down the state, they or ganized and reorganized until they had one of the smoothest working organizations in the his tory of the state. When Election day came they were better organ ized than in their 20-year history. The election results speak for themselves and the Young Demo crats feel that they had a real part in the victory.” In his statement Mr. Blue made no reference to his own hard work, which has carried him back and forth to Raleigh many times during the past six weeks, where he was on duty at headquarters most cf the time, and visiting groups throughout the state as a speaker also. The Sandhill Citizen, of which he is owner and editor, continued to come out on time throughout these weeks, though it is hard to understand how it could do so. They say that, after he came in from Raleigh late at night, the typewriter would be resounding (Continued on Page 5) A comm.unity barbecue and chicken fry with aU the “fixings” will be sponsored by the Southern Pines Chamber of Commerce, to be held Wednesday evening, De cember 1, at Mile-Away farm. The event, following close on Thanksgiving, will be the first big “get together” of the winter season, when all or most of the winter residents will be on hand, new visitors will be coming in and a greeting can be given to them all. It will'also be a bene fit event, with proceeds divided between two of the Chamber’s favorite projects—the fund for the school band uniforms, and the Chamber’s own treasury. Facilities of Mile-Away farm, one of the Sandhills show places, were offered by the owner, Ozelle Moss, a Chamber director, at the regular meeting of the directors held at the Community building Tuesday night. The farm has everything necessary for outdoor cooking for a crowd, with ade quate shelter also in case of rgin and plenty ^f parking space, he said. The offer was gladly received by the rest of the board and Hoke Pollock, president, appointed Harry Lee Brown chairman of a special committee to plan details of the barbecue. Spring Horse Show Discussion of the spring horse show was also held and Mr. Moss Chamber of Commerce represen tative in the Sandhills Horse Show and Racing association, sug gested that a meeting be held with association officials to consider a (Continued on Page 5) General Cummings And Friends Enjoy Fine W^eekend On Mid Pines Course ARMISTICE day' The Moore County Veterans' Armistice Day celebration* occurring on The Pilot's press day, could not be written up for this issue.

The staff will feel well re warded if the 1948 issue meets with the same kind re ception of past years. Only two weeks ago came a re quest for the last available copy of the 1947 issue one of many we have filled throughout the year. We are grateful to the many non-staffers who have helped us, and the advertisers who have made it all possible. This year The Pilot sadly misses its Pilot—Mrs. James Boyd, editor, who is abroad. The staff missed her imfirinj labor, and the readers will miss her knowledgeable touch in articles about the town, the people and the horses. There was no one who could adequately fill her place.. So much had to be left out —and the beautiful new rail road station didn't get ready quite in time—and there are plenty of others wrong, but we hope you will not find too many of them, and will enjoy all :lhe ;.’est.

For this was the 32nd annual Homer S. Cummings Golf tournament, which began in 1932, when General Cummings, then U. S. Attorney General un der the newly-elected President Roosevelt, brought a party of close friends down to Pinehurst for some gclf. They had such a good time to gether they did it again in six months, and again, and again; and the party grew in size as it did in popularity and in fame. They held forth many times at the Pinehurst hotel, in Carolina, also at the Holly Inn, and once they came to the Highland Pines Inn here. This time they moved ever to the Mid Pines for the first time, and de clared their intention of return ing in the spring, and maybe al ways. What they like about it, they say, is “you fall right out of bed onto the golf course.” Down To Business Arriving from midweek on, they settled, down Friday to serious golf, playing their quali fying rounds.

Both the Pet Show and gym khana will be arranged and con ducted by Dennis Crotty, well- known horseman who is the sports director of the Carolina hotel. Any kind of pet, but preferably four-legged, may be entered in the show.

Southern Pines took the Pitts boro kickoff and on a sustained * march knotted the count and went ahead 8 to 6 when Baker’s placement kick was good. Page started it with a 15-yard return of the kickoff to the Blue and White 20. Mattocks was stopped after picking up two yards at right end, but Dickerson on a re verse made nine yards. Mattocks at right end carried to the 40, and Page on a reverse made it a first down on the Pittsboro 22. Flirst Touchdown Back to pass.
