As Taxes In Pinehurst Fail To Do So
86 Praof
A “shoptalk” by one of their
mernbers, who served also as pro
gram chairman, featured the
weekly meeting of the Southern
Pines Rotary club, held last Fri
day at the Village Inn.
Johnnie A. Hall, optician, ex
plained something of the meth
ods of filling prescriptions for
glasses of all sorts, and the deli
cate art of lens grinding, by which
light refraction is adapted to dif
ferent eye conditions to the
thousandth of a degree.
June Phillips gave a summary
of activities of the high school
basketball teams, with a preview
of coming events which included
the Moore County tournament, to
be held at the new Southern
Pines gym the first week in
March. He asked conj;inuation of
the excellent support the Rota
rians have always given the
school athletic program.
H. L. Brown, president, con
ducted the meeting, greeting a
number of guests. Among these
were Johnny Beasley, president
of the Student Council of the
Southern Pines High school,
junior Rotarian for the month of
February; Larry Martyn, South
ern Pines, guest of E. J. Austin;
and visiting Rotarians Jim Rich
ardson, Pittsford, N. Y.; Earl
Sprague, Bridgeport, Conn.; G. J.
Casey, Sanford; Ernie Swarts,
Rockford, Ill.; and Ernest W.

By BUD HARVEY
The annual Pinehurst village
financial report, mailed to free
holders this week, disclosed that
Pinehurst Inc.,, had to dip into
the till and come up with a record
$23,816.77 to balance the munici
pal books in 1949.
Every municipal department
reflected the creeping effects of
inflation, mainly in higher pay-
rolls. At the same time; property "*•
values and taxes showed only a
fractional increase as the village
budget strained at the seams.
The recent revaluation in
Moore county affected Pinehurst
property only slightly, while
bringing property values else
where in the county closer to a
par with local valuations. At the
same time, deed restrictions con
tinue to limit Pinehurst to an as
sessment of only one per cent on
the taxable property.
The effect, as Isham Sledge,
secretary-treasurer of Pinehurst,
Inc. pointed out this week, is of
raising the cost of the village
management beyond the capacity
of the village to maintain its own
support.
Silver Lining
However, the picture is not
exactly gloomy. Sledge pointed
out that Pinehurst, Inc. is doing
a much larger volume of busi
ness today and can afford to bal
ance the village books without
undue strain. He added that
Pinehurst, Inc. is coming to de
pend more and more on pre-sea
son and post-season convention
OUSIBSSS*
“We’ll do about $100,000 in con
vention business next May,” he
declared. “And we’ll open next
fall on October 1 to accommodate
more of this type of business. If
we had to depend entirely on re
sort business I’m afraid we would
be feeling the pinch.”
William J. Fitzgibbon, manager
of the Carolina hotel, confirmed
that the opening date for the
1950-51 season has been fixed at
October 1. la the past, the big
hotel has opened on or about the
15th of October.
Operation Costs Up
The financial report this week
showed that property valuation
in Pinehurst had advanced from
$2,947,728 in 1948 to $2,970,964 in
1949; tax collections were up from
$27,333.78 to $29,166.04. However,
the cost of operating the village
[jumped from $39,029.98 in 1948
to $51,534.01 in 1949.
The largest single increase was
reflected in the cost of policing
the village and this was a unique
situation. In 1948, contributions
from the State ABC board includ
ed accumulated dividends from
several years and, thus, reflected
an actual profit of more than $1,-
400 in the police department. Last
year, the ABC contribution re
turned to normal at $3,556.12; thus
the police department appeared in
the budget at a net cost to the
village of $5,928.79.
Street Maintenance
Another $5,000 jump in opera
ting costs was recorded in the
Streets and Parks department,
which rose in cost from $23,924.50
in 1948 to' $28,455.30 in 1949.
Sledge explained that this was
an increase which will continue
to remain constant. He pointed
out that street and park mainte
nance had been held to a mini
mum during and since the war,
mainly because shortages in
equipment had made it impos
sible to do a lot of needed, work.
With equipment now available,
he added, the c6st will continue
around the 1949 figure, or even to
advance. . ,
New councilmen listed in the
annual report *were Louis S. De-
Lone, Jr. and Stuart H. PattCT-
son. They replaced Leo J. Erh-
hardt, who moved from Pine
hurst, and Howard Kenworthy.

Planetarium Plans
Big Easter Show
With winter yet to take hold,
the staff of the Morehead Plane
tarium at the University of North
Carolina is preparing the elabor
ate physical effects for the presen
tation of “Easter, the Awakening,”
scheduled for the period from
March 14 through April 10.
“We have discdvered that the
people of North Carolina are re
ceptive to our spectacular demon
stration,” Dr. Roy K. Marshall, the
Planetarium director, says. “Al
most 37,000 visitors saw our ‘Star
of Bethlehem’ presentation and
we expect at least 25,000 for the
four weeks of the Easter show,
which is similar in its general out
line.”
While the facilities of the Com
munication Center are being call
ed upon I to make the transcrip
tion of rnusic and readings appro
priate to the season, the mechani
cal effects are being tried out as
they are manufactured in the
shops of the Morehead building
and the University Buildings de
partment.
A great stained glass window,
more than 20 feet high, is now be
ing prepared, and the Golgotha
scene is being worked up, for in
corporation into the dramatic por
tion of the presentation.
More than five dozen huge
candles will be seen, lighted, in
the closing episode in which the
choir’s “Allelujah” at the Resur
rection fills the Planetarium
chamber with joyous sound.

Would you like to live in a socialist
America? Most Americans wouldn’t.
But there’s a real danger that we will
— whether we want it or not.
One of the main roads to socialism
is government ownership and con
trol of important businesses. The
electric light and power business is
one —and this map shows how far
the government is in it already.
Every white dot—209 of them -
on the map marks an electric powe
plant now operated or financed b
our federal government. Every blac’
dot shows where another goverr
ment power plant is being built, c
panded or proposed. In all —ovc
700 places in 44 states! And a long
step toward a': socialistic U. S. A.
Most of the people who speak for
more government control over
American life don’t want a social
istic nation. They have other reasons
for government control.
But when government, moving
itep by step, controls enough things,
ve’ll have a socialist government,
vhether we want it or not. And,
ustead of oiir freedoms, we’ll have
;overnment control, not only over
usiness, but over churches, schools,
'"'mes — our whole lives.
