Blue And White Stopped On Verge State Title Win Conference Winners BalilellOuf; 25-18, Clemmons Colors Fly Over War Veterans’ Peaceful Scene A new champion of state six- man football was crowned in Win ston-Salem Wednesday night when Clemmons High of Forsyth county defeated Southern Pines 25-18, to cop the title. The Clemmons team well de served the win and the champion ship honors, and their one touch down margin was about the mar gin between the two teains. But that would not begin to tell the story, for in bowing out of the picture the Blue and White covered themselves with glory. They played like a champion team is supposed to play; they never quit. Arnette, rugged little end, who has played great games in the past, defending against Clemmons rose to new heights. He was in on most all of the plays, and on end sweeps directed against him, he was not moved out of a play all night. Gary Mattocks, who played the entire game, was a marked man, two men covering him most of the time. With a less slippery field. Mattocks would have given Clem mons plenty of trouble. Three times he was shaken into the dear but on cutbacks slipped and fell to the turf. Sensational Play The Blue and White team is coached to play as a unit, and there are no stars, but the sensa tional play of Bill Baker, big end, is almost a story in itself, a story of the second half and improvisa tions. Clemmons led at the half 13 to 0 as the result of two lightning stabs through the air, the hard charging and tackling of the Blue (Continued on Page 5) Gonvalescent Ward Group Asks To Replace Closes With Fine Town Billboards With Neat Si^ns, Shrubbery Record Of Service Many Polio Victims Given Care During Time Of Great Need WILL PRESIDE Beer License Applications Are Tabled For Study This unusual photograph, showing the parade unit of the John Boyd Dost VFW a • tice day from one of the two dufiouts at tb^ TTicfb q Ur. i i\/r • i i i ^ ’ was taken Armis- n„p«.e ^ .e s (Photo by Emerson Humphrey) Veterans Stage Enjoyable Reunion And Armistice Day Observance Here u Several restaurant proprietors whose beer licenses were revoked following the ABC raids in this section last April are being kept on the anxious seat by the county commissioners, who are delaying the granting of new licenses for the places when they are applied for under another name. By terms of the court order, perso^ found guilty of liquor law Isolations could not secure n^w licenses for two years from the date of the judgment. The places, however, could be licensed for the sale of beer after a six months’ in terval. Following a practice generally recognized, several of the restau-l rants whose management has not changed are seeking licenses un der the name of someone connect ed with the business, other than that of the actual proprietor. On inquiry by The Pilot con cerning the situation, Gordon M. Cameron, chairman of county commissioners, said this week, “You might say that we have tabled these applications. We wish to be sure of the legality of grant ing licenses under these condi tions. We are getting legal advice on the subject.” How long this might take was not indicated. A license has been granted for the Pine Needles clubhouse, where the management has com pletely changed. The license was taken out in the name of Rov Grinnell. The Blue Mirror, formerly Popels restaurant, has also under gone a complete change of man agement. Mrs. Lois Beauregard is the new lessor and manager. She has made application for a beer license but it is among those which have been delayed, for what reason she said this week she does not know. Of the others, two are no long er in operation. These are Dante’s and the Skycruise club. The clos ing of Dante’s, only one of the restaurants within the Southern Pines city limits, leaves all the ofter places involved under juris diction of the county commission ers. THANKSGIVING The Iraditional union Thanksgiving service, for all denominations, will be held at the Emmanuel Episcopal church at 8 p. m, Wednesday. Sermon will be by Dr. T. E. Davis, pastor of the Brown- son Memorial Presbyterian church. General holiday will be ob served Thanksgiving day, with county and city offices, banks and most business establishments closed all day. Drugstores in town will re main open until noon. Gro cery stores will stay open all day Wednesday in prepara tion for a full-holiday closing of the following day. Schools will close for both Thursday and Friday, giving the youngs^ters a long holiday weekend. At the post office, the gen eral delivery and stamp win dow will be open from 8 fo 10 a. m., and mail will be worked as usual during the day. The Pilot will go to pres$ Friday instead of Thursday, to allow the staff to 'take hol iday too. Happy Thanksgiving! Women Charged With 115,000 Property Fraud But They Wind Up Deep In The Red; Fund Appeal Is Made An allegation that two women came to Moore county and conniv ed with their dying mother to de fraud her creditors, was filed at the courthouse at Carthage last week in the form of an affidavit by W. A. Leland McKeithen, at torney for Reinecke-Tarlton, Inc., of Fayetteville, contractors. It is one of a strange sequence of documents recorded in con nection with the affairs of the late Mrs. Jessie Skitt Robins, for merly of Greenwich, Conn., who died at her new hpme near South ern Pines November 5. Mrs. Robins purchased the Beaumeiser estate, on Youngs road, last spring, had the house extensively—and expensively—re modeled by .the Fayetteville firm during the summer, and moved in only last August. Papers were prepared, dated Oc tober 1, by Reinecke-Tarlton, Inc., giving notice that action was to be instituted by them to secure judg ment for $15,684.04, qlleged due for repairs and alterations to the house. A warrant of attachment was asked. Extension Granted There was delay in filing the papers, and a court order, sought and granted November 1, allow ed a 30-day extension of time for the preparation of their complaint. His affidavit of this date states On that day also a warrant of (Continued on Page 5) Fall saved up one of her finest days for the Moore County Vete rans’ Armistice Day reunion, held here last Thursday under a sky filled with sunshine, balmy and inviting. General holiday was observe in the business district, and the schoolchildren also had a surprise holiday beginning at 11 o’clock, time of the parade. Good crowds attended the day long series of events, swelling to vast proportions at noontime when the Veterans committee, as sisted by ladies of the auxiliaries; served a mammoth barbecue luncheon to some 800 veterans and their guests at the School Memorial athletic field. The crowd at the concluding event, a dance at the Planters warehouse below Aberdeen, also drew an excellent crowd. All events were free to vete rans, sponsored by a committee of representatives from all veterans’ organizations in the county, with Charles Swoope, of Pinehurst, as chairman. Fund Appeal ' The celebration was financed (Continued on Page B) Local Horses And Riders Make Good Garden Showing Herses of Mrs. Audrey K. Ken nedy, Cappy Smith and Vernon Cardy, all of whom winter in Southern Pines, came up against the best in the land at Madison Square Garden last week, contrib uting to what was rated as an excellent show and coming away with a wide variety of ribbons. While none of the local horses made it to the big stakes, they did their owners credit, and in several instances came within one or two points of the most coveted trophies. Flagshon, of Mrs. Ken nedy’s Seven Star string, missed by cne point the young hunter championship, which was won Ipst High I his stahlemate Bob-O- 'Link. Golden Boy, another of the Seven Stars, was in'the lead Mon day for the working hunter cham pionship but Tuesday, the final day, missed it by two points. The four Seven Star entries tcok altogether four blues, six seconds, three thirds and two fourths. One close class was the limit young hunter, which was won by Cappy Smith’s Rainslick- er, with Flagshon second. The pclio convalescent' ward of the Moore County hospital was closed Wednesday after four and a half months of service. Of the few remaining patients, two were transferred to the Camp Sutton convalescent center, two cr three were sent to . their homes End three were taken to the world-famed polio treatment cen ter at Warm Springs, Ga. Admission of these children was secured through efforts of Paul C. Butler, chairman of the Moore County chapter. National Infan tile Paralysis Foundation. They were two-year-old Johnny Mc- Callum of Carthage; Bonnie Jean Scott, also two years old, of Car thage, Rt. 2, and 11-year-old Sarah Inman of Hallison. About 10 Moore County chil dren are still patients at out-of- :ounty hospitals. Nursing Siaff Four nurses remained on duty £t the hospital convalescent ward toward the last, as the number of patients diminished from a high of 18. Thirteen altogether were re cruited by the American Red Cross, and employed by the Na tional Foundation for duty here in the time of need. This number included nurses specially trained in polio care, also physiothera pists. Of the four remaining on duty, two nurses and the physiothera pist have been transferred to Camp Sutton, only other polio convalescent center in the state. Mrs. Wick, supervisor, will take ,a month’s rest before going to an other assignment. The history of the hospital cen ter constitutes a remarkable rec ord of cooperation, and help in time of need. Though the Moore County hospital had been taking care of a more-than-capacity load of patients for months, authori ties there managed to clear an en tire wing for reception of the polio victims. Their removal here from out-of-county hospitals not only brought the children nearer their homes (all were from Moore county, except one Randolph Coimty child) but relieved the burden on these other hospitals, who were receiving many new victims in the critical stages every day.

With him are Mr. and Mrs. Edi son Dick, of Chicago, who work ed with him during the campaign chairman of the women’s division. All needed rest after their big achievement, the news of which was the ultimate' straw which caused Dewey to concede.

Clark, chairman. ■ An energetic group of 16 work ers has been combing the town for the past three weeks, to en able the town to keep up her rec ord set in past campaigns. The Boy Scout drive has always been one of the community’s favorites, and this year has been no excep tion. With many contributions j small and large, the townsfolk signified their regard for this be loved organization and their wish ■to participate in its continued progress. Reports from other county com munities are incomplete but it is believed the $4,450 quota for Moore county will soon be achiev ed with continued work. A. L. Burney, county chairman, this week asked that all community chairmen complete their reports as soon as possible, so an an nouncement can be made. In Southern Pines, Chairman Clark passed on the credit to his assistants, whom he listed in full, with an expression of deep appre ciation, as follows; Harry Lee Brown.

Garden Club Group Meets Tuesday With Town Board Hotel Men To Be Consulted A proposal to replace the huge billboards at the northern and southern approaches to Southern Pines with more attractive name signs, beautified with artistic planting, was presented to the town board in regular session Tuesday night, provoking some lively dascussion. The proposal was made by a delegation from the recently or ganized Southern Pines Garden club, headed by Mrs. P. P. Mc Cain. Other members were Mrs. E. C. Stevens, Mrs. Katherine Mc- Coll and Mrs. W. D. CampbeU. They presented sketches by A. H Yeomans, landscape architect, showing the southern approach as It looks today, with the blatant town sign and a hotel sign prac- Ucally dwarfing the graceful little Shaw House across the way; con trasted with the way it might ap pear, if their plan meets with fa vor. d The second sketch showed a panel sign, lettered in neat script, ‘This is Southern Pines,” pendent from a post by a wrought iron brace in the manr^er of the tavern signs of old. This type of sign, its proponents. -explained, is being successfully used in such towns as Chapel Hill and Williamsburg. With the planting at its base and as a background, it presents its message, as clear as that of any billboard, with dignity and charm. Others To Be Heard Though the ladies were anx ious to get a decision and begin their work. Mayor Page insisted on the right of -other groups of the town to be heeard concerning the change, and asked Howard F. Burns, town clerk, to schedule a meeting within the next few days with representatives of the Cham ber of Commerce and local hotel interests. The billboards, were put where they were originally, some 15 to 20 years ago, through pressure of such local groups who complain ed that “people drive right through Southern Pines without knowing they are in town.” The signs proclaim the name of the town, “'The Mid-South Resort,” with additional information con cerning the number of hotels (no longer' accurate) and golf courses. The town pays something over $500 a year for the present signs. The Chamber of Commerce sev eral months ago, through its board of directors, requested the town, board to make a change in the type of sign, on grounds that the billboards are outmoded, and not in keeping with the character of the town. Most of the commissioners ex pressed themselves in favor of the change, if the town’s business in terests should agree that the pror posed name-signs would do the job as effectively as the old. Com missioner Stevens was outspoken in his support of a more artistic type of sign, a matter in which he has expressed himself unequivo cally in the past. ‘It is perfect rot to keep those (Continued on Page 8) SCOUT BANQUET Congressman C.
