The town board meeting at the
ity hall Wednesday night unan-
mously approved the extension
if. the business district to the
outhern city limits on the west
ide of the Seaboard tracks.
A special hearing had been an-
lounced for that night on the
lubject. Though no one appeared
n person to protest it, a petition
was presented signed by nine
property-owners registering their
opposition to any change in the
sxisting zoning of the area. How
ever ,the wording of the petition
was such that it appeared their
abjection was to the location of a
service station there, an<^ it was
taken as such.
A change in the zoning ordi
nance regarding service stations
in the business district will be
ponsidered at a special meeting
next Wednesday night, when pro
tests may be heard.
One Stop a Day?
Mayor C. N. Page read a letter
from Piedmont Airlines asking
approval on their resumption of
service October 15 at the local air
port, with just one flight each
way stopping daily. On advice
of Town Attorney Hoke Pollock,
it was decided that mayors of
other towns involved, also the
county commissioners, be asked
to a conference before an answer
is given, and that the reply be
one with the support of all.
The mayor reported that he
plans to appoint a municipal rec
reation commission, to administer
funds brought in by the recrea
tion levy recently approved by
the voters. He said he will pre
sent the names at the October
regular meeting.

Pinehurst Man
Held In Slaying
Of Brother-In-Law
Charley • Calcutt, 42-year-old
Pinehurst painter, died in Moore
County hospital at 1:55 p. m. Wed
nesday of wounds sustained from
a shotgun blast at his home 24
hours earlier.
County officers are holding Cur
tiss Frye, another Pinehurst
painter, the brother-in-law of
Calcutt, in Carthage jail in con
nection with the slaying. No for
mal charges have been made.
Coroner H. P. Kelly will hold an
inquest at 8 p. m. Monday.
Physicians gave Calcutt a doz
en transfusions during the futile
24-hour battle to keep him alive.
The shotgun blast,' fired at close
range, had torn its way through
the entire right side of the man’s
abdomen.
Lloyd McNair, a Negro taxi
driver and eye witness of the
shooting, said Frye had hired his
cab to drive him from his own
home to that of his brother-in-
law.
McNair said Frye was carrying
the shotgun, in one hand and a
live rooster in the other. At Cal-
cutt’s home, he said, Frye strode

Southern Pines' civilian de
fense set-up will move into
being with a sample sounding
of an air-raid "alert" and "all-
clear" next Friday after
noon. September 22.
The "alert" will be sound
ed by the fire whistle for
three miipifes starting at 3
p. m. Twenty minutes later,
will be heard the one-minute
"all-clear" signal.
After this is done once, ac
cording to Dl. Lf Madigan,
civilian dlefense director, it
may never have to be done
again. If is necessary once, in
order to let the people know
just what the signals will
sound like. However, Director
Madigan told the town board
Wednesday night, he does not
favor constant practicing as
part of the defense program,
until there is some sign that
it is needed.
Presenting highlights of a ten
tative program on request of the
commissioners. Colonel Madigan
secured their unanimous approval
on the sounding of the signals at
this time.
He told them that, after study of
the local situation and of what
some other communities are fac
ing, he feels that wartime danger 1
may come to this community only
as part of a wide area, rather than
as a specific target. There may
also be dislocations without dan
gers, as in the case of possible
mass evacuations from cities to
smaller towns.
He said in making the plans on
request of State Director E. Z.
Jones, for integration with the
state plan, he felt that “planning
for the worst” in the expectation
that it probably would never hap
pen, was safer than making little
or no plans and perhaps have the
need for them arise.
The program calls for general

Clifford B. Maness, itinerant ^
preacher of upper Moore, one of
the hardest workers and gospel
quoters on the “dry” side in the
recent beer-wine election, his son
Clifford Eugene ' and his wife
Glennie Stutts Maness were ar
rested last Friday night when of
ficers stopped their car on the
Highfalls-Robbins road and found
three cases of “white lightning”
in the trunk compartment.
Maness disclaimed aU know
ledge of the liquor, declaring that
someone who had “something
against him” must have put it in
there. However, sufficient clues
were provided by the arrest to
sew up a cage against Earl York
and his mother Ruth Evelyn York
at Asheboro Monday, with indica
tions that further arrests will be
made.
Ten cases containing 50 gallons
of illicit liquor were found at the
York home, said ABC Officer C.
A. McCallum. He said York has
been known as a big-time opera
tor aind wholesaler, and that the
law has had its eye on Maness
for three or four months as a
suspected distributor for the out
fit.
Commuter
Maness has been working late
ly as a barber at Siler City, com
muting between that town and
Moore county, and evidence indi
cates that he has been hauling
the Randolph County liquor in
regularly on his homeward trips,
McCallum said.
Constable Garner Maness of
Robbins and Patrolman R. L. Ap
ple,, who. stopped the Maness car,
found the trunk compartment
locked, but were able to see the
liquor inside when they removed
the back part of the seat. They
then broke the compartment open.
They turned the Manesses over
to federal authorities, who took
them before U. S. Commissoner
J. A. Lang at Carthage for a hear
ing. He found probable cause on
transporting illicit whiskey for sale
and set bond of $500 each, which
they made. They will be tried at
the March term of federal court
at Rockingham.
Preached Fervently
Maness is said to have lived in.
the Putnam community all his
life. He is not formally connected I
with a church, but for a number j
of years has supplied rural
churches of the section, and held
'sidewalk meetings” at Carthage
and other towns.
He has preached fervently
against the evils of alcoholic bev
erages, and never more vigorously
than during the recent campaign,,
when he would return from his
Siler City trips and then visit
about the county with other
preachers and “dry” leaders in
order to enlist more votes against
legal sales.

At Pinebluff Lake
This Weekend
N. C. Democratic Leaders Prepare For Fall Campaign
The third annual camporee for
Boy Scouts of Moore county will
be held at the new Pinebluff lake
and recreation park today (Fri
day), Saturday and Sunday. A
full routine of outdoor camping
has been scheduled, according to
Leon Wylie of Pinebluff, district
camping and activities chairman.
This will be the first time the
camporee has been held as the
opening event of the fall program,
rather than the climax of the pro
gram at the end of May. Several
other innovations will feature the
event. One will be a special in
struction course in marksmanship
and firearms safety, to be given
by a representative of the Rem
ington Arms company. Other
outdoor activities will include
swimming, cooking, camp making
and crafts.
The first fall Court of Honor
will .be held Saturday night, as
part of the camporee. Scout Bus

From the group will be selceted
a team of topflight riders to rep
resent the United States in forth
coming international corapeti
tions, possibly culminating with
the Olympic Games in 1952.
Cappy will be the only North
Carolina rider in the training
group. He was entered by Mrs.
W. O. Moss of Southern Pines,
one of two North Carolina mem
bers of the International Eques
trian Competitions committee for
Zone 4, composed of North and
Sbuth Carolirta, Virginia, West
Virginia and the District.of Col
umbia.
Set up to select a team to main
tain the American tradition in the
international contests, the volun
teer International Equestrian
Competitions, Inc., this summer
divided the country into 10 zones,
with judges in each state to help
select candidates. In Zone 4, the
Warrenton Horse show was chos
en for the holding of the equita
tion contest, to yield winners for
special training.
With 22 entries from Zone 4,
Cappy won easily over them all.
If he comes through the arduous
training period as well as he did
the initial event, he will join the
team which will give this coun-
try representation in international
competition for the first time in
a number of years. They will first
meet teams from other countries
at the Pennsylvania Horse show
late in the fall, then in swift sue
cession will compete at Harris
burg,, Madison Square Garden
and Toronto.
Next year will bring further op
portunities fot the upholding of

Teacher Arrives
At Long Last
“Clean-Up, Paint-Up, Fix-
Up” week—a “week” of 12
working days which will
bring benefits to the whole
community— will be sponsor
ed by the Southern Pines
Chamber of Commerce start
ing Monday, September 18,
and continuing through Sat
urday, September 30.
Colorful posters are being
placed through the town to
act as reminders to all •'isi-
nessmen and householders
that this is the face-lifting,
cleaning - up, pitching - out-of
trash time of year for their
establishments, residences and
grounds.
The cooperation of the Town
has been secured, as last year, in
the removal of all trash, no matter
what kind and how big the piles
are. If your containers won’t hold
the stuff, that doesn’t matter dur
ing “Clean-Up, Paint-Up, Fix-Up”
week. Just put it out front—^the
truck will get it.
It is requested, however,
that this be done on the regu
lar garbage dollection days if
possible, so the truck can
check every place by maldng
its regular rounds. In the case
of an unusual amount, a
phone call to the city office
will assure that the truck will
come by.
Also, said Harry Fullenwi-
der. Chamber of Commerce
president, citizens are asked
not to put off their cleaning-
up and trash-putting-out till
Saturday. As the collectors
work only until noon on that
day, an unusual amount of
work might result in the leav
ing of some trash over Sun
day.
The Chamber is cooperating
ty Council in urging that this
period be employed for the elim
ination of household hazards, and
for the making of repairs in both
homes and business places that
will make for greater safety for
adults and children.
The Southern Pines school is
also cooperating, it was reported
by A. C. Dawson, Jr., a Chamber
of- Commerce director and school
faculty member. He said that high
school students will give the
grounds a good cleaning-up, and
that the buildings also will have
a thorough going over.

improvements needed at the

Success in securing a vocational
home economics teacher for the
Southern Pines High school, after
several years of effort, was an
nounced this week by Supt. P. J.
Weaver.
Miss Lillian Rosenberger, a 1950
home economics graduate of
Woman’s college, Greensboro, ar
rived Monday and is already at
work, with about 25 girls as pu
pils.' Miss Rosenberger is from
Lynchburg, Va. She comes highly
recommended.
A temporary classroom in the
high school building has been set
aside for the course, which will
emphasize sewing and textiles
during the first half year. When
the two new elementary class
rooms now being built are com
pleted, first and second grades
now using the home economics
cottage will be moved into them
and Miss Rosenberger and her
pupils will move into the cottage,
which was built several years ago
but has never been used for its
original purpose. In the mean-

GEN. MARSHALL
It looks as though once
again Gen. George C. Mar
shall has a busy lime ahead,
which will probably cut into
his relaxing - time at his
Pinehurst winter home in the
months ahead.
His appointment Monday
by President Truman as Sec
retary of Defense, following
the resignation of Louis
Johnson, was a new testit-
monial to the unabating es
teem in which our beloved
neighbor is held.
The wave of approval of
the appointment reported by
press dispatches was matched
in the Sandhills, where gen
eral rejoicing was in the air.
The approval came from
Washington and also from the
Korean front, where it was
said to have caused a tremen
dous anidl instantaneous lift
in morale.
His friends in the Sandhills
offer General Marshall their
most deeply-felt good wishes
for the arduous days ahead—
hoping the job may not be too
long and that he may be able,
some day, to enjoy his long-
anticipated rest and retire
ment.
