Democrats And
Republicans Will
Vote Tuesday
Candidates Listed;
Five Amendments
Will Be Presented
Women^s Groups Meet Here
Voters in this predominantly
Democratic state will go to the
polls Tuesday from 6 a. m. to i6
p. m. to make their choices among
a number of candidates—a lot of
Democrats and a few Republicans.
They will also be asked to vote
on five constitutional amend
ments, listed and explained on an
other page of this paper.
In Southern Pines precinct, vot
ing will be -at the fire station; in
Aberdeen, at the Legion hall.
On the upper levels, Democrats
are opposed by Republicans for
both senatorial offices and a state
supreme court associate justice,
also in the Eighth district for the
U. S. House of Representatives.
Locally, voters will also have
party choices for two state sena
tors, Moore County member of
the State House, sheriff, coroner
'and four places on the county
commission-
No actual contest is seen any
where except in the race for
Junior U. S. Senator, where feel
ing from an inter-party battle
still exists. Many who supported
Frank Porter Graham have ex
pressed themselves freely as seek
ing some way around marking
an “X” opposite the name of Wil
lis Smith, Raleigh attorney who
won the second primary in one
of the most bitter campaigns of
recent years. Some say they will
(1) vote for E. L. Gavin, Republi
can candidate, well-known attor
ney of Sanford; (2) fail to mark
any choice at all; (3) write in the
name of Senator Graham.
Graham Asks Straight Vote
Senator Graham, however,
along with other party leaders,
has made his views on the sub
ject plain: the primary is the time
for inter-party battles; in the gen
eral election, it is party versus
party. The former president of the
Greater University of North Car
olina has given additional evi
dence of his good sportsmanship
and party faith in urging that
Democrats vote the straight tick
et. Appearing side by side with
Smith at recent rallies, in many
earnest speeches he has given un-

Winners Listed
In Two Window
Display Contests
Two window display contests of
the past few days had the down
town district looking unusually
colorful, with gay and comic
scenes on show which drew
crowds of spectators in the day
time and evenings.
The Halloween art contest of
the school children, sponsored by
the Rotary club, and the Home
coming Game window display
contest sponsored by the Chamber
of Commerce overlapped in some
instances, to the detriment of
neither. Football and Halloween
colors went together excellently,
and the scenes of horror depicted
in both contests were harmonious
as well as timely.
The Rotary contest operated on
the admirable principle that “if
they want to mark up windows at
Halloween, let’s encourage ’em to
do it!” Don Moore, art instructor

Hundreds of Kids
Troop In For First
Meal; Cost—20c
Wednesday was a historic day
in the development of the South
ern Pines schools. It saw the
opening of the new school cafete
ria, serving kitchen-prepared mid
day meals, after generations of
schoolchildren had had to take
their lunches in boxes and bags.
With the new ranges still de
layed in shipment, the opening of
the cafeteria was made possible
by loans arranged by-the Carolina
Power and Light company. An
electric range was loaned by
Steinberg, Inc., of Raleigh, from
whom the new models are being
purchased; and a sizeable electric
grill was loaned by O. A. Conrad
of Jacks Grill.
The cafeteria, occupying the
spacious, well-lighted basement of
the auditorium building, was a
busy scene at the noon hour Wed
nesday. Mrs. L, T. Hall, manager,
and her corps of assistants—sev
eral regularly employed, others
drafted for the occasion—had to
move at double-quick time. A
check had been made of children
who planned to eat their lunch
there that day; more than 100 oth
ers changed their minds at the last
minute and came streaming in for
lunch. More and more food was
prepared, more and more plates
were served; and the boys and
girls, carrying their trays to the
long tables, smiled their pleasure
at the appetizing meal before
them.

Good Commodity For
Sale, Says Coleman
Directors of the Southern Pines
Chamber of Commerce will at
tend a dutch breakfast at the Hol
lywood hotel Wednesday at 8 a.
m., preliminary to starting off on
their campaign for new member
ships and membership renewals
for 1950-51.
Each will invite a non-director
member of the Chamber to be his
(dutch) guest at breakfast, and
his teammate on the whirlwind
solicitation which will begin im
mediately, afterward—or as soon
as it can be fitted into busy busi
ness schedules.
“We hope to complete the cam
paign over the weekend,” said
Arch F. Coleman, president.
“There is no reason to drag it
out. Everybody knows the com
modity we are ‘selling’ and its
value to the town, and to every
one who has a stake in the town.
We have plenty of accomplish
ments to point to, considerable
work under way right now and
valuable plans for the future. We
are out to make Southern Pines
a better place to live—and a bet
ter place to, make a living. We
are the only local organization
with this as its exclusive aim.”
100 Per Cent Is Goal
Each drive team will be given
a list of members or prospects to
see during the four campaign
days. No' money quota has been
set. A membership quota has been
set, however ;100 per cent partici
pation of all business people.
This may not be possible. Pres
ident Coleman admitted—^but said
it is “a good aim,” as it is only
with 100 per cent cooperation that
a Chamber of Commerce can do
its most effective work. Everyone,
at any rate, benefits, whether
everyone pays or not—^for what
helps one helps all, in the net
work of community interests.

Huge Crowd At Halloween Carnival;
Kids Win Prizes, Have Merry Time
Southern Pines was no place
Tuesday night for dignified per
sonages and “Scrooges” who don’t
like kids, for the downtown dis
trict was turned over to them
under the traditional sponsorship
of the Rotary club, in their sixth
annual Halloween community
festival.
Early dusk brought out the
witches ad goblins, the elves and
pixies—some of them so tiny they
had to be carried in their moth
ers’ arms. At the other extreme
were grown-ups who dressed up,
too, pretending they were kids
again just for Halloween night.
The parade, which formed at
Patch’s corner and proceeded in
orderly fashion under the super
vision of a large committee of Ro-
tarians, included at least 350 cos
tumed kids. The judges on the
reviewing stand had their work
cut out for them. They had the
able assistance of the Rotarians
and of Joe Warren who emceed
at the mike, in carrying through
the eliminations and awarding the
prizes.
