Fatally Injured
As Car Overturns
Ted Phillipi White, 20, of Aber
deen was fatally injured,
when his car went out of control
and overturned on US Highway
1, just north of the Aberdeen city
limits, shortly before midnight
Saturday.
Young White, who was driving,
was thrown clear of the vehicle
as it turned a complete somer
sault, landing on its wheels. His
skull was fractured and he never
regained consciousness. An ambu
lance rushed him to Moore Coun
ty hospital where he died some!
three hours later.
A companion, J. E. Cummings,
a soldier, on leave from Fort
Knox, Ky, was reported uninjured
in the accident. According to the
State Highway Patrol repprt,
Cummings was arrested after the
accident on a public drunkenness
charge.
The investigating patrolman
said that White’s car heading
south, passed another car “at an
excessive rate of speed,’’ then
swerved across the center line to
the left lane, and traveled some
distance on the left shoulder be
fore getting back on the highway,
where it careened end over end.
Funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at the First
Baptist church in Aberdeen, con
ducted by the pastor, the Rev.

Airmail Changes
Local mail service has been con
siderably expanded and expedited
through several changes effective
November 1, it was announced by
Postmaster A. Garland Pierce.
For local patrons, probably the
best result of the change is seen
in improved service to Aberdeen
and Pinehurst, also direct service
to Carthage, West End, Robbins
and return.
These are accomplished through
a change in airmail schedules and
the addition of a Highway Post
Office, new to this parj; of North
Carolina, connecting with star
routes at Biscoe.
There are now two airmail col
lections instead of one. The first
closes here at 12 noon for the east-
bound plane leaving Knollwood
airport at 1:11. The second closes
at 3:20 p. m. for the westbound
plane leaving at 4:30. On both of
these the airmail messenger,
leaving here, picks up mail at
Aberdeen and Pinehurst, and on
the earlier round, surface mail to
these towns will be carried. Air-
msil will go direct to the planes
for both flights Sunday, not by
Aberdeen and Pinehurst.
Twro star routes through South
ern Pines daily connect with the
new Highway Post Office at Bis
coe. The first, leaving here at
