These are the only two resort hotels left to Southern Pines Sin« the Highland Pines Inn “joined the Air Force.” Pinehurst hotels opend early this month, with the opening for regular guests set for October 25 at the Carolina following a series df conventions. Renovations and beautification have taken place in both local inns during th summer. The Holly wood is recognizing its 40th sea son with the installation of an ele vator, of a highly superior type, to make the third floor as acces sible as the second. The dining room has been redecorated. At the Mid Pines, new offices are in use, and a handsome new black and white tiled floor beautifies the lobby. Both hotels report good advance reservations, with many already for next spring. The Mid Pines is managed by Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Cosgrove, the Hollywood by George and John Pottle. Staffs are largely the same as last year at both hotels. At Mid Pines, a golfing center, Julius Boros will return as pro, with the added glory of having won the National Open and Tam-o Shanter Club world championship during the summer. The quartet of girl champiops weU known to the the Spdhills are back in their hotel jobs—^Mae Murray, of Rut land, Vt.; Pat O’Sullivan, Orange, Corui.; Carol Diringer, Tiffin Ohio, and Mary Agnes Wall, Menominee, Mich.

When, as and if she is fetched back to Moore county she will face plenty more that needs clear ing up, with plenty of people, in cluding a high percentage cf the local bar membership, ready and eager to do it. They will have to wait, though, till she serves her 30 days in jail for contempt of court on order of Judge Zeb V.

Suits for judgment filed against Mrs. Banigan individually, or with her husband, for non-payment of personal bills, or as a real estate agent, have now mounted to near ly $10,000 and indications are there are several more in the off ing.

(Continued on page 8) Reminder cf the town meeting Wednesday night, for discussion of the coming bond election for civic improvements, was made by Mayor C. N. Page this week. The meeting will be at Weaver auditorium at 8 o’clock. All the townspeople are invited to attend and register their reaction, asking questions or just listening, as they wish. Determined by the town board as pressing present needs of the growing municipality are the fol lowing, listed with estimated costs: new fire truck, $20,000; new fire station, and remodeling of old one to provide storage for other town-owned vehicles, with needed furnishings for both, $34, 000; combination police station and jail, $96,000; extension of sewer system, $10,000. These are “outside figures,” the mayor said, arid it is likely they actually will not cost that much. Mavnr Page said numerous cit izens have discussed projects with him, some objecting and others approving, and he feels that most of those who object are failing to understand the need; also, that it is not anticipated the bond issue will affect the tax rate. “The board wants everything to be made clear,” he said. “You bring the questions and we’ll try to have the answers.” The Wednesday meeting is the time and place to object if you’re going to, he indicated, so that the board may have accurate knowl- ledge of public sentiment on the proposal. ‘We mav be trying to progress too fast. However, we have some feal problems,” he said. “Changes cf some sort must cer- tainlv be made in the present set up. This appears to the board as the most all-round satisfactory long-range plan. Those who don’t agree may have better ideas, we’d like to hear them.” It was noted that never, in the Moore County Fair Will Open Monday With Shows, Exhibits DEMOCRAT RALLY Southern Pines Democrats are planning a rallV Saturday evening, November 1, just three days before the nation al election.

Whether it wiU be a "speaking," a street meeting or a torchlight parade has not been determined, but full details are expected to be ready for, annoimcement next week—^if the committee in charge cam quit talking poli tics long enough, to put their heads together.

In outlining plans for the future the retiring president, Angelo Montesanti, Jr., also stressed the value of the junior tennis program here, not only to the young people but the town as a whole. “I fig ure this is the best way we can repay the town for its favor in building these splendid courts— in promoting the kind of recrea tion that builds good citizens, I have never,” he added, “seen a sport.” The two spoke informally on the present and the future of the association. The past was taken care of by Francis E. Stubbs, the first president, who now lives in Greensboro and who had returnd especially for the occasion, to see the small group which had band ed together in 1949 now a well- knit, enthusiastic organtzation.

Prizes Awarded Loeal Firms In Window Contest There were 14 entries in.the an nual window decoration contest sponsored by the Southern Pines C^hamber of Commerce in connec tion with Wednesday’s Homecom ing game, and franjean’s, Carolina Power and Light company and Tots’ Toggery were announced as winners, in that order, at the half during the game. Winning honorable mention were Patch’s, the Style Mart, and Barnum Realty company. The franjean window, decorated by the staff, featured a girl wear ing the Southern Pines insignia and colors, and a red devil at 'op posite sides of the window, each tugging at a beautifully wrapped prize package done in blue and white. A small rubber doll rep resented the Candor Red Devils. A sign proclaimed: “They’ll get no prize package from us.” The Carolina Power and Light window held the team names, a display rack in blue and white and red, on which were shown electrical supplies with the fol lowing advice to the team: an electric heater, “Get Hot”; a mix er, “Mix ’em up”; a trimmer. Mow ’em down”; a fan, “Cool ’em off”; a vacuum cleaner. Next week is fair week for all of Moore county, and thousands are expected to fill the county seat for the fifth annual Moore County Agricultural fair which is again being sponsored by the Car thage Junior Chamber of Com merce. Last year’s event was a great success and the sponsors re port they are expecting an even bigger and better exposition this faU.. “We have completed plans for the fair,” Hoover Carter, president of the Jaycees stated,” And hope to give to the people of Moore and adjoining counties a most in teresting and entertaining week.” The Jaycees are looking for ward to a record number of ex hibits, and as in the past there will be a large tent erected with ample, space for taking care of them. This exhibit tent will go up on the fairgrounds on Satur day in plenty of time for the peo ple of the county to place their entries. No exhibit can be enter ed after 6 p. m. Tuesday. There will be plenty of space for exhibits and the Jaycees urge all who can to enter their prized articles. As Jias been the case during the past two years, one of the high lights of Fair Week will be the beauty contest, to be held Wed nesday night. Winner of this event will be crowned “Miss Moore County High School.” C. C. Ling- erfelt, chairman, said a large number of entries has been re ceived from the schools of the county. Miss Barbara Ann Har ris of Salisbury, "‘Mass North Car olina of 1952,” is expected to be on hand for the event and to crown the winner. Any high school of the county who would like to enter their favorite in this event can do so by contacting Claude Lingerfelt, or any mem ber of the Jaycees. Last year’s winner was Miss Sylvia Davis of Carthage. The fair will open Monday night and will come to its official close Saturday night, October 25th, as suring an entire week of the fun and merriment that always goes with a typical county fair. Tuesday will bring the “Grand Opening” when all white school- children will be admitted free, with the main gate opening at 12 noon. The colored children will enjoy the same privilege Friday. . It is the hope of the Jaycees that (Continued on Page 8) Opening Of Sandhills Resort Season Gets Full Activity Program Under Way By TIM HYDE (Stale Magazine) More than the usual interest in the opening of the Sandhills re sort area is evident this year, with a potential Little White House and a not-so-potential Little Execu tive Mansion located in this re gion.

In this the Candor captain was hauling his prostrate players from the field in a wagon as the Blue and White captain stood by. Mrs. Graves, Mrs. Mine and Mrs. Britt of the staff decor ated the window.

'“The Cabin” is the home of (Governor Stevenkon’s sis ter, Mrs. Ernest Ives, and her hus band, a retired diplomat. Mrs. Ives, who has lived in “The Cabin” from November to May for a dozen years, also is expected to serve as White House hostess if her brother should defeat Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in the elec tion. And up north of here, at the county seat of Carthage, is the residence of Herbert F. Seawell, Jr., Republican nominee for Gov ernor of North Carolina, whose father sought the office when the state went for Hoover in 1928. As “Chub,” as his friends call him, says, “With the Little 'White House at Southern Pines and the Little Governor’s Mansion at Carthage, people will hardly be able to stand us.” Pinehurst, the sports center of the Sandhills—a 50 by 30 mUe area which is a kind of half-step Between the Piedmont Hateau and the Coastal Plain—will be gin its 58th season on October 1, with the opening of the Pine hurst Country club and the in formal opening of the Carolina hotel. Added to the schedule of the winter golf capital of the world is the new North and South match play Seniors’ golf championship, which replaces the North and South Open, a pro amateur tournament, on the pro gram.
