THE DUKE GLEE CLUB, with their first concert in the new Southern Pines Auditorium, will be renewing many old acquaint
ances in this section. The Duke clubs have simg here, off and on for many years, bringing good cheer and good music to Moore
County folks. With the lair sex added to the group this year, it is expected that an even more delightful evening is in store. But
what folks are looking forward to, perhaps, most of all, is that far-famed barbershop quartet.

With the expiration last Friday
of the time limit set for an upset
bid in the sale of the Carthage
Weaving company plant, final
confirmation of the sale to Victor
Levy, president of the Greensboro
Manufacturing company of, that
city, awaits only the formal act
of Judge F. Don Phillips.
The Rockingham judge is ex-,
pected to announce his ratification
of the sale on Saturday, bringing
to an end the long litigation which
has accompanied the disposal of
this property, formerly owned by
Van B. Sharpe, of Carthage.
W. Lament Brown, Southern
Pines attorney, who has been con
ducting the sale as acting receiver
for the Carthage firm, expressed
satisfaction with the outcome of
the affair. It is thought that the
new owner, who heads a large
concern engaged in the manufac
ture of cotton flannel and crepe
nightgowns for women and chil
dren, will proceed at an early date
to remodel the plant, installing
new and modern equipment.
When in production, it is ex
pected that the new Carthage in
dustry will employ between 200
and 300 local workers, with tech
nicians brought in from the
Greensboro plant. Headquarters
of the firm is in New York where
the sales office is located; the bus
iness is on a wholesale basis, with
consumers among the large chain
stores of the country, including
Sears Roebuck.

HURRY!
You can't wait when you're,
dealing with, cancer!
With only a few days of the
lime set for the Cancer Drive
still to go, the county commit
tee, headed by David Gins-
burg and Ruth S, Harrington,
secretary, reports that only
$515.75 of 'the Moore County
quota of $2,750 has been turn
ed in. In Southern Pines
where Mrs. James ]^^liken is
chairman, only half the quota
of $600.00 has been raised.
Delay in raising funds
, means delay in detection and
treatment; diouble danger for
the people of Moore County.
Plans at Stoneybrook call for
an exodus of the race horses in
the near future to take in the
opening of tracks on Long Island
and, later, the Maryland and Vir
ginia circuit.
Meantime the string of Mrs.
Audrey K. Kennedy’s show
horses, from her Seven Star Eta-
bles, are being readied for entry
in the Sedgefield Show scheduled
for the first week in May.

Local Council Leader
Takes Place At Head
Of Four State District
William D. Campbell of South
ern Pines, who entered adult vol
unteer scouting with the Moore
district committee in 1946, this
week was elected regional chair
man of Region Six, Boy Scouts of
America.
Region Six is composed of the
states of North and South Caro
lina, Georgia and Florida, and
has a registered total membership
of 156,000 men and boys in Cub

Smith Richardson of Greensboro,
head of the Vick Chemical com
pany, who has served as regional
chairman for the past four years.
The election was made at the
annual regional meeting held
Thursday at Atlanta, Ga. Bill has
been a member of the regional
executive committee for several
years. Harold R. Makepeace of
Sanford, president of the Occon-
eechee Council for the past two
years, was elected a member of
the committee at this meeting.
Another highlight of the meet
ing was the awarding of the Sil
ver Antelope to Bill Campbell.
This is the highest award in vol
unteer scouting on the regional
level. He is already a holder of
the Silver Buffalo, highest award
on the Council level, which was
made to him in 1949.
Also attending the meeting
from Moore county were W. La
ment Brown, district chairman;
Paul C. Butler, Occoneechee

The Mens Glee Club of Duke
University will give a concert to
night sponsored by the Southern
Pines Civic Club. The Duke
choral group has made many
visits to Southern Pines during
past years and will be warmly
welcomed by its old friends in the
Sandhills.
The program which will be pre
sented in the Southern Pines au
ditorium at 8:15 o’clock is a va
ried one. After having introduced
themselves with their college song
“Dear Old Duke,” the Glee Club
will sing, as first selections, a
group of religious pieces; the stir
ring 17th Century German mel
ody “Ye Watchers and Ye Holy
Ones,” Mozart’s “Ave Verum,”
and Beethoven’s ‘‘Worship of God
in Nature.”
A quick change of pace will in
troduce a bass-baritone soloist,
Robert Chambers, who will sing
Schubert “Der Erikonig.” Mr.
Chambers will be followed by
Walter Ball, pianist, playing Le-
cuona’s “Andalucia” and William
H. Beck, singing the “Vision Fugi
tive” from Massenet’s opera “Her-
odiade.” The first part of the pro
gram will close with three selec
tions: the Pilgrim’s Chorus from
Wagner’s “Tannhauser,” Franz’s
“Dedication,” and Schubert’s
‘"rhe Omnipotence” with Mise
Jenkins as soloist. ,
The second part of the program
is devoted to lighter music. After
the club has sung three spirituals,
the Barbershop Quartet will sing
a medley, and Kenneth Taylor
will follow with Di Capuo’s “O
Sole Mio.” A small chorus will
present selections from Italian

SPRING GAME
A sports event thal is ex
pected to draw fans from the
Sandhills is the Blue tind
White game scheduled to be
played at Kenan Stadium to-
mloiTowv (Saturday)..
This is the annual Blue and
White gamie played each
spring at the stale university
at the conclusion of the spring
practice period during the
months of March and April.
Of burning interest to
Sandhillers is the fact that
two former local stars. Bill
Baker and Ray Copley, are
members of the freshman
team, that faces last season's
varsity squad on Saturday, in
this inter-squad battle. Per
formance of players in this
game may well determine
their status in plans now be
ing drawn up for next year's
varsity eleven and the play of
the local men 'will be watch
ed with keen interest.
The game will start at 2:00
p. m. With all state high
school students special guests
of the University that day. it
is expected that the crowd
will be a big one.
Last week’s list of highway ac
cidents kept the toll of crashes
steadily rising.
Near Mid Pines club on Satur
day night a car driven by Richard
B. Knight, 33, of Providence, R. I.,
ran off the curve east of the club
entrance on the double road and
turned over.
With Mr. Knight was Richard
Dixon, 37, of New York. Both
men were returning from the
Dunes club.
The accident took place at 2:25
a.m. when, according to Patrol
man Harold Deal, the driver ap
parently lost control as he ap
proached the curve and the car,
belonging to the Russell & Lacey
company of Fairmont, Gai, turned
over. Both occupants were hos
pitalized at St. Joseph’s, Mr.
Knight suffering from possibly
fractured ribs, while his compan
ion was not seriously hurt. The
car was severely damaged.
Mr. Knight was a guest of Bill
Brown in Southern Pines. The
case will come up for judgment
Monday.
Second accident of the past
week took place Monday night
about ^ o’clock and involved an
army ’50 Chevrolet pickup truck,
driven by Pvt. James A. Hanner
of 3420 AAU Casualty Detach
ment, Fort Bragg.
Heading south on Route 1, just
north of Cameron, beyond the old
railroad crossing, the truck ran
off the road, hurtled along in the
ditch for 75 feet, as estimated by
Patrolman Deal, and turned over
twice.
The driver was rushed to Lee
County hospital by ambulance,
where examination disclosed a
broken collar-bone, lacerations of
the face, and possible fractured
ribs. Pvt. Hanner was removed to
Ft. Bragg Station hospital Tues
day.
The injured man is recently re
turned from action overseas. His
parents live in Lakeview.

urday, April 28th, set as thfi
deadline for all would-be

New voters have been reg
istering during the past week,
and will, like everyone, have

Qualificatidns were ex
plained by town attorney
Hoke Pollock Tuesday as re
quiring that a citizen must
have been a resident of North
Carolina for 12 months and of
the corporate limits of South
ern Pines for 4 months prior
to the election, before he is
eligible to vole on May 8tb.
A town caucus that made up in
smoothness and harmony what it
lacked in old-time fireworks of
frenzied politicking and fun, Tues
day night nominated the entire
board of commissioners and may
or for re-election, adding to the
ballot only the new names of J. R.
Funderburk and Ralph Chandler,
Jr.
The meeting, first to be held in
the Southern Pines auditorium,
was attended by fewer than usual,
although increased by a consid
erable representation from West
Southern Pines. Mayor C. N.
Page opened with a review of the
past two years of his tenure of of
fice. Expressing his appreciation
of the fine cooperation of the
board as “a good team that has
worked well together,” Mayor
Page listed as high points of his
administration the doubled capac
ity of the town water supply, with
supply lines laid in West Southern
Pines, 1500 feet of 6-inch pipe on
Leake street for the new KnoU-
wood apartment development, six
miles of paving, and extension of
sewer lines.
He stated that the town would
receive from $15,000 to $20,000
from the highway department for
street construction and upkeep
and suggested that half be used to
buy equipment and the rest for
roads “to give work to our towns
people.”
Page Favors Social Security
Mayor Page said that he favor
ed putting all town employees on
social security, and felt this should
have prompt attention. He paid
tribute to the loyalty of the town
force in all departments.
On the subject of extending the
town limits, the mayor spoke with
fervor. He stressed that a first
step would be a joint meeting of
all citizens with the object of
drawing up a plan for a bond elec
tion to finance extension of all
services to new districts.
In closing Mayor Page said:
‘There is one thing much on my
mind. I do not think that we use
to the fullest extent the people of
ability in town, of whom there are
many. I hope the new board will
keep this in mind.”

Mr. Healy takes the place of D.

board since its start in Moore
County in 1937, and in Wilson
County in 1936. Largely instru
mental in bringing about the ar

system of control is carried on in
the county, Mr. Stutz’s departure
from the board terminates a long
period of service.
In acknowledgement of the
Southern Pines man’s retirement
