first concerts were held early last
May as the first community events
following completion of the new
auditorium. Both the children’s
and adult concerts were highly
succes^ul, so much so that ar
rangements were started at once,
in response to the genuine de
mand, for the return engagement.
The Music association, once
formed, has also sponsored other
concerts, greatly enriching the
musical life of the Sandhills. It
is anticipated that the concerts of
the N. C. Symphony under their
noted director. Dr. Swalin, will
become established as annual
events.

Inslrucfions Given
Chairman Buchholz, a Marine
veteran of Pacific warfare whose
life was saved by many transfu
sions, and who has himself made
numerous contributions of blood,
this week issued the following of
ficial directives to prospective do
nors who have not yet had this
experience:
1. No donor is accepted unless
found to be physically able to
give-r-an examination is given at
the BloodmobUe in advance.
2. Donors need not “dress up”
before giving blood, or undress at
any time during the procedure.
They can come directly from
work, give blood, lie down a while
on cots which will be provided
and be back at work in about an
hour.
3. Donors must be between the
ages of 18 and 60 years. Unmar
ried boys and girls from 18 to 21
must have their parents’ written
permission.
4. Donors should eat lightly the
day they are to give blood (black
coffee, fruit juices, dry toast, etc.)
This makes the blood tetter for
the recipient.
'The BloodmobUe will arrive
complete with an experienced
stsff, which will be on duty
throughout the day, assisted by
volunteers recruited by the local
Red Cross chapter.

ART
BIT
Paintings by the late well-
known artist. Arthur Frank,
are now on view in the Fine
Arts Roomt of the labrary.

show indudles examples of
interiors, landscapes, a stiU-
life and, especially interest
ing to students of painting, a
group of unfinished canvass
es of Maine scenes, showing
the artist's method of work
ing.
The collection will be on

“Antique Auction”
And Entertainment
At Shaw House
The old Shaw House at the
south end of Broad street wiU be
the scene of a unique auction
Wednesday, when antiques wiU
be auctioned off in an atmosphere
of 100 years ago. 'The event has
been planned as an unusual enter
tainment as weU as an auction
sale.
Members of the Moore County
Historical association, sponsors of
the event, have been busy gather
ing together a coUection of an
tiques, rare, lovely and interest
ing, for which Arch Coleman of
Southern Pines and Chester I.
Williams of Pinehurst will act as
auctioneers.
News of the coming “Country
Auction” is attracting wide no
tice, with many visitors expected.
Among those planning to come
from a distance is Mrs. Charles
Cannon, president of the state
Society for the Preservation of
Antiquities, who is coming down
from Concord for the day.
The event wiU be held outdoors,
from 11 a m. to 4 p.m., with a
luncheon recess. Seats wiU be
provided and visitors are invited
to come and stay the whole time,
or to come and go as they feel like
it. They are asked to bring box
lunches, and make a picnic of the
occasion. Coffee will be sold in
the Shaw House tea room, and
there will be sandwiches also for
those who do not bring their pic
nic lunch.
Old-Fashioned Songs
During the luncheon recess old-
fashioned songs will be sung by
Mrs. AnnabeUe Pearson, also by a
group of “sunbonnet ladies,” mem
bers of the Mt. HoUy Home Dem
onstration club led by their presi
dent, Mrs. Gaines.
The Mt. Holly members are also
contributing for auction some old-
fashioned food staples and delica
cies, such as waterground meal
and preserves made by old family
recipes.
Among interesting items to be
auctioned is a fine reproduction in
pine of the “lazy susan” table in
the Shaw House, made by a skiU-

The Southern Pines towa cau
cus, now legalized by ^edal act
of the General Assembly, wiU be
held at the high school auditori
um Tuesday night, April 24, ac
cording to notice given by toward
F. Bums, town clerk-treasurer,
this week.
The municipal electiun for
mayor and five town conomission-
ers will be held on the regular
election day, Tuesday, May 8. Mrs.
Grace Kaylor, registrar, wiU keep
the registration books open on
two succeeding Saturdays, April
21 and 28. Saturday, April 28, will
also be ChaUenge day.
The town caucus, a heritage
from this community’s New Eng-
land forefathers, served for many
years as the time for nomination
and also for unofficial election,
since nominees were reduced by
vote to the needed number, and
the official election day which
followed was only a form.
However, at the 1949 caucus it
was pointed out that under North
Caroina state laws, the caucus had
no legal standing whatever and in
fact was directly opposed to some
of the election laws. The 1949
meeting acted more in accord with
standard procedure by placing a
choice of nominees before the
election-day voter.
The people also by tmanimou,»
action instructed the town attor
ney to take steps toward legaliza
tion of the biennial event.
The caucus has served by long
tradition as a place for the demo
cratic airing of views on aU sub
jects of civic interest, as weU as
a rheans of fiUing municipal of
fice. Nothing in the new law
would discontinue this practice.
On request of the town board.
Rep. H. Clifton Blue of Aber
deen put through a biU in the cur
rent General Assembly which
provides for the setting of the
time of the caucus, with due
notice given; the selection of not
more than two candidates for
mayor and 10 for commissioner
by the voting of only qualified
electors (though write-in votes
may be cast on election day); and
that participation in the caucus
by those not legaUy eUgible shall
constitute a misdemeanor.
It also provides that the mayor
shall preside over the caucus un
til the election of a chairman and
a secretary by the qualified vot
ers. This is in the old caucus txa-
dition.
