With two commissioners absent and with considerable doubts, res- ervatiofis and ouestions evident on the part of three board mem bers present, the session ended with the Sandhill Kiwanis club’s widely-endorsed project appar ently no nearer acceptance than it has been since first proposed several months ago. Board members at the meeting TTnill’VlPk'v were Chairman G. M. Cameron of ^ witiucjr Pinehurst, J. M. Currie of Carth age and L. B. Reynolds of the Leaman community. Absent were W. J. Dunlap of Robbins, who was reported ill, and J. M. Pleasants of Southern Pines who sent word he was unable to attend. Garland McPherson of Southern Pines was spokesman for the Ki wanis club, presenting the student driver training program in detail and making the suggestion that it could be financed without rais ing taxes if fines for traffic law violations were increased 50 per cent. Mr. McPherson is chairman of the Kiwanis public affairs com mittee, which has developed the proiect over a period of several months. With him and speaking in support of the measure were Kiwanians Voit Gilmore, South ern Pines, president of the club: T. R. Phillips, Carthage, vice-pres ident jffd a member of the county boardHE education; and W. La- moni^Prown, Southern Pines at torney. Cold, rainy weather was held responsible for absence of a larg er delegation of supporters. McPherson concluded his appeal by saying, “I’m here to ask you point blank: can we have the $16,- 000?’’ Chairman Cameron replied that no answer could be given without all members of the board present. He then expressed his personal doubts that the county should un dertake to meet the $16,000 an- (Continued on Page 8) At Aberdeen Gytn The Third Annual State Girls’ Basketball tournament, sponsored by the Southern Pines and Aber deen school athletic associations, will be held at the Aberdeen gym next week, Monday night through Saturday.

Ives, president of the Moore County Historicad association. The movie is “Bonnie Prince Charlie,” a British production made in technicolor in the Scot tish Highlands—a cinematic re telling of one of history’s most dramatic stories, the rescue of the “bonnie prince” by Flora Mac donald. The film was rated as one of the year’s most distinguished. The showing here will be its first in the south, or anywhere outside of a few of the largest cities. Ar rangements were made through Since it is believed that histori cal-minded persons, and those of Scottish descent throughout the Cape Fear region will want to see h ' picture, and since the thea tre’s capacity is limitea, seats will be sold by reservation only, said Mrs. Ives.

Cho- Downtown parking difficulties would be relieved by a reduction in parking time limits from two hours to one hour, directors of the Chamber of Commerce agreed Tuesday night. They plan to present a formal request to the town board for such a time reduction, at the board’s regular meeting next Wednesday night. President Harold A. McAl lister and Johnnie A. Hall were elected to represent the Chambe I at the meeting. At that time the board is to de cide whether or not to give one way traffic on Broad street a try, for 90 days. The Chamber direc tors discussed this too, but are limiting their recommendation to the parking situation. One hour parking would be suf ficient, the directors believe, for most of the purposes for which people visit the crowded business district. The Chamber of Commerce meeting, the first in three weeks, draw attendance of 10 directors quorum—out of 15. President McAllister was in the chair. John Pottle, treasurer, present ed a detailed report which was the best from his department the directors had had for some time. The organization, chronically broke, heard that their bills are getting paid and they have a fair bank balance at present on which to base project plans. This has come through renewal of mem berships of which about 40 have been brought up to date. Though the financial prospect is more encouraging than in some time past, a good deal more work must be done, with more mem berships renewed and new ones secured, before any real plans can be made and carried through. President McAllister told the board. The number of renewals received so far does not represent (Continued on Page 8) Speakers are appearing before local civic clubs this week in be half of the drive.

Flu Closes One School, Condition Seen “Improving” Teen-Age Youths Are Bound Over Aberdeen Girls, Robbins Boys Win County Cage Meet Devilettes Are Champions For 6th Straight Year Aberdeen girls won the cham pionship for the sixth successive year, with Robbins snaring the trophy for the boys, in finals of the 25th Moore County High School Basketball tournament played at West End Wednesday nighj. Before a yelling, shouting crowd which practically, hung from the rafters of the new J. F. Sinclair gym, the Aberdeen Devilettes of statewide fame swamped Pine- hurst by a score of 58-35, and then the Robbins boys stopped South ern Pines 57-40. The championship was the sec ond within a week for the Rob bins boys, who won the Class A district playoff here last week, and are playing at Roseboro Thursday and Friday night of this week in the regional contest of the NCHSAA. The Aberdeen team, paced by the 21-point scoring of Lorraine Lawrence, took a 36-21 halftime lead, then coasted to victory. Bet ty Boggs scored 24 of Pinenurst’s points. Southern Pines boys were breathing on Robbins’ neck until the third quarter. With a halftime icad of only two points—27-23— Robbins then moved ahead to a final 57-40 victory. While the scores left no doubt as to who had won, both Aber deen and Robbins knew they had met somebody. Thextwo runner- up teams put up masterly resist ance, making a fine accounting of themselves. In winning the 1952 title Rob bins boys resume the champion ship position they held in 1949. In 1950 the Aberdeen teams made a clean sweep; in 1951, it was Car thage boys—and those seemingly unbeatable Aberdeen girls. Robbins won another great vic tory at this year’s finals. Both its teams were awarded the covet ed banners for sportsmanship. All-star selections made by the coaches were also announced at the finals; All-county boys’ team—Ivey, Aberdeen; Haithcock, Robbins; Tom McNeill, Robbins; Poole, West End; Baker, Carthage; Ma ples, Farm Life; Matthews, Farm Life; Wicker, Cameron; Town- shend, Southern Pines: Darst, (Continued on Page 8) Golf Tournament, Silver Gift Honor Dick Chapman Pinehurst honored a distin guished resident Wednesday with a toiumament party and .handsome gift in recognition of glory he has shed on the old home town by his achievements in the field of golf.
