GET OUR ESTIMATE An artificial insemination pro gram, to improve the quality"nnd quantity of cows in Moore, has been undertaken by breeders of the county, who are endeavoring to get 1,000 cows signed up in or der to get the program under way, according to E. H. Garrison, Jr., county farm agent. A steering committee, elected at a meeting held last Wednesday night at the courthouse in Carth age, has T. Clyde Auman, of West End, for its chairman; J. M. Da vis, Carthage, Rt. 3, Vice chair man; E. H. Garrison, Jr., Carth age, secretary, and W. B. Hill, Carthage, treasurer. Committee members represent ing various parts of the county are R. J. Snipes, Niagara; Honier Johnson, Cameron, Rt. 1; Graham Hare, Steeds^ Rt. 1; J. A. Price, Robbins; J. A. Monroe, Biscoe, Rt. 1, M. L. Smith, Jackson Springs, and Richard A. Dowd, Glendpn. Each will canvass their own sections of the county, to get as many cows as possible signed up for artificial service by qualified bulls at a nominal fee of $7. Selection of the committee fol lowed several ^jieetings held by Mr. Garrison with Moore County farmers, during the course of which it was agreed that the pro gram was an important- one prom ising many benefits for both large and small farmers. Census figures show there are only about 2,500 cows in the county—a figure far too low, it was agreed. Many of these are not of good quality. Bulls used in the artificial breeding program include Guern sey, Jersey and Holstein—all reg istered and already proven. No beef cattle are included. It will take some time to get the program under way. Mr. Gar rison said, but in order to plan for it, it is necessary to get the sign up completed as soon as possible. Owners of one or two cows of breeding age are asked to sign up with the canvasser when he ap proaches them, or to secure an application form hy visit or by mail from the county farm office at Carthage. Any owner of a registered cow can have the calf from such breeding registered also, Mr. Gar rison said. This is one more step—the most important, the county agent said—^in a long-range program of dairy cattle improvement under taken by the State Extension service in Moore county.

Underwood, South ern Pines representative for Pilot Life Insurance com pany, of Greensboro, through his nomination to the all-star honor roll of The Insurance Salesman, leading magazine in the life insurance business.

Galloway Speaks To Rotarians On Beverage Control EFFECTIVE MAY 14th ABERDEEN SUPPLY CO. Will Be Closed Wednesday Afternoons /isfcn to BIRT PEARL and M TBI BUn UBS a hilarious half-hour of music, song and comedy Monday through Friday Sponsored by Belvedere Hotel, Hollywood Hotel Highland Pines Southland Hotel WEEB 1:15 Monday thru Friday _ JMUTUAL^BROADCASTIMO’SYSTEM The beer industry stands for le gal control of beer sales, honestly enforced, and will cooperate with it in every possible way, members of the Southern Pines Rotary club were told at their luncheon meet ing last Friday by Ray Galloway, representative of the N. C. Brew ers Foundation. Such control, he said, is not only the best method of dealing with sales of alcoholic beverages, but also the only effective one. He cited case after case to show that “drying up” a county is only a fig ure of speech, and that so-called “dry” counties are generally much wetter than their legally wet neighbors. T,he Foundation, set up to main tain standards of the industry and to propiote moderation, can oper ate in counties where legal sale is permitted but cannot do a thing to stem the law violations and abuses which mount in “dry” ter ritory. Neither, Mr. Galloway remind ed, do the organizations which form to ban legal sale. These gen erally stay strong and militant till they achieve their purpose, then fade away to leave their fellow citizens to cope with an impossible condition. He reminded his hearers that, as in the case of many of life’s good things, it is not the beverage but its abuse which leads to trouble a;nd condemnation. With wisdom, these abuses can largely be cor rected; with prohibition, they grow worse. Mr. Galloway, department com mander of the American Legion during 1947-48, was introduced by Harry Fullenwider, . program chairman. Don Jensen, president, presided at the meeting, which was held at' Dante’s restaurant. L. V. O’Callaghan, Jr., was a guest, and visiting Rotarians were Lawrence- C. Towne, Lansing, Mich.; Chester B. Lord, Bingham ton, N. Y.; Fred S. Shafer, Plain- field, N. J.; Dr. Stanley Teskey, Bernardsville, N. J.; Horace A. Crary, Warren, Pa.; Earl Sprague, Bridgport, Conn.; Lloyd Tate, Blowing Rock and Pinehurst, and Fred B. Howland, Titusville, Pa.

Denial of Nembership On Any Committee Dealing with Beer Control We, the undersigned wish publicly to make the following statements (THIS TIME AT OUR OWN EXPENSE). The signatures below were given of our own volition and were not obtained for publi cation by subterfuge. (1) We have not found or formed at any time any such committee as the “Moore County Citizens Committee for the Legal Control of Beer.”. (2) We are not members of any such committee either by self-appointinent or otherwise. ' (5) While it so happens that we do favor the legal control of beer for various reasons, we highly disapprove of the method of the beer interests in obtaining our signatures on what was purported to be a generally circulated petition, but which turned out to be a petition present ed to a select few, said petition then being used for publication with the implication that we had organized ourselves into a group with undue interest in the contin ued legalization of the beer industry. i (3) We had no part financial or otherwise in the insertion of the full page advertisement in The Moore County News of Thursday, April 21st, 1949 and other County papers which so heartily urged the continued legalization of beer. In fact, we had no knowledge that su6h advertise ment was to be run. (6) Our resentment at the unau thorized use of our names is such that we would like to state that we believe the citizens as a whole have the right to ex press themselves on this question or any other question when it is legally proper. (4) Any stand which we may have as to the continued legalization of beer is our own individual opinion meant only for our- individual expression, at our own de sire and to our own immediate friends at a time of our own choice; we have had no desire at any time tl^at such opinions be used in a county-wide fashion to influence the thought, ideas, or choice of other in- .dividuals. (7) Again we especially want it known that we are not on any committee of any kind to promote the legalization or the prohibition of beer. Our interests are not such that we care to have an active part in the matter, one way or the other, at this time or any other time. (8) We do hereby notify the beer interests that they are not to use our names for the promotion of their interest at any time in the future. MICHAEL T. PISHKO, M. D. PINEHURST. N. C. L. T.
