r Page Eighteen THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina Friday, October 24. 1952 Moore Hospital Board Pays Tribute To Retiring Administrator McKeithen Adopted by the directors of Moore County Hospital, Inc., at a regular meeting held October 20, 1952; RESOLUTION THREE LITTLE PURITAN MAIDS wear beaming smiles which belie their demure cos tumes—but maybe those long-ago maidens weren’t so demure, after all. In staging their Book Fair, the youngsters at Southern Pines school learn they have much in common with those of olden times. < Above, from left, Elaine Dabbs, Ann Carter and Jackie Peterson are seen against the back ground display of a pioneer log-cabin home, chosen by Miss Bess McIntyre’s fourth grade pupils as their theme in the Book Fair partici pation. (Photo by H. H. Turner) Book Fair At Southern Pinps School Draws300 Guests for Colorful Show All Grades Take Part, Publishers Present Exhibits Circus, cave dwellers, puppets, horses—whatever youir interest, there was material on hand to send it bounding higher at the Book Fair held Thursday at the Southern Pines Elementary school and cafeteria. The happy faces of the children who took part were conclusive proof of the truthful ness of the Fair theme: "Reading is Fun.” Slightly before the opening hour of 3:30 p. m., visitors began arriving, and there was a steady' stream during the two hours that the Fair continued. Teachers from all over Moore county were in vited, and many parents took ad vantage of the opportunity of see ing the displays that had been conversation subjects of their youngsters for days. Three hun dred guests registered. There was 100 per cent partici pation of teachers and pupils, and every elementary classroom was decorated for the occasion with displays that represented much thought and many hours of work. Nursery rhymes were featured in the first grades, taught by Miss Dawson and Miss Boyette, and Mother Goose characters drawn by imaginative six-year-olds were everywhere. Miss Kennedy’s second grade provided a real circus thrill for visitors, with its clowns, animal books and pictures. Miss Milli- ken’s second graders built their display on the theme of commun ity helpers, such as the postman, milkman, etc. Dr. Dolittle drawings and scenes were presented by Mrs. ■Wicker’s third grade, and pup pets of Cinderella and Snow White a’ld the Seven Dwarfs were featured by Miss McDonald’s third. All of the upper grades did drawings and scenes from books and made bookmarks and book jackets. Mrs.. Caudle’s fourth gfaders concentrated on Tom Sawyer, and Miss McIntyre’s On Colonial America. Visitors to Mrs. Leonard’s fifth i The Directors ' of the Moore County hospital wish to go on reC^ ord in expressing to its retiring administrator, Edwin T. McKeith en, their deep appreciation for his naany years of faithful services in behalf of the Moore County hos pital and the communities which it serves. Mr. McKeithen assum ed his duties as administrator on October 1, 1931 about 22 months after the hospital had opened, and when it was beginning to be rec ognized as one of the best of the smaller hospitals in the state. During his 21 years of adminis tration, the .plant and all of the hospital’s activities have expand ed greatly. A much needed new wing was added early in 1937, fol lowed soon afterwards by the completion of the splendid Nurses Home in 1939; and finally the con struction of the new Memorial Wing and the enlargement of the out-patient department were reah ized in 1950. In 1931 its official bed capacity was approximately 33 and it is now 120; and all of the departments have shown a corres ponding increase. As administrator of the hospital during his years of devoted serv ice, Mr. McKeithen has always given careful consideration and detailed attention to the many, varied, and vexing problems aris ing not only from the expansion of the hospital, but also those met with during its routine operation, all with an ever-increasing activ ity and carrying a greater burden of responsibility throughout the years. His wide acquaintance in the county and understanding of the problems of so many using the services of the hospital has been of great value. His ability and fine record have been further rec ognized by election as a president of the North Carolina Hospital as-^ sociation, and also a director of the Hospital Sjavings Association of North Carolina, Incorporated, at Chanel Hill. BE IT THEREFORE RESOLV ED that the Board of Directors desire to spread upon the official records of the hospital the esteem and high regard in which they hold Mr. McKeithen, and to give formal recognition of all that he has accomplished in behalf of the Moore (I!ounty hospital during his administration and to assure him of their gratification at his will ingness to continue his relations with the hospital as administra tive consultant; and furthermore, it is Resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mr. Mc Keithen, and copies be furnished all of the county newspapers.

Publish ing houses represented were C. D. Heath, Houghton and Mifflin and Webster Publishing company and The Book Center at Chapel Hill had a large display of books. A concession stand sponsored by the school was located in the cafeteria and manned by school boys. Mrs. Beulah McPherson and Miss Mary Logan, elementary and primary school supervisors for ModVe county, started the Book Fair project and Miss Aline Todd served as chairman, with Harry Lee Brown, Jr., assisting. The su pervisors expressed their appre ciation of the fine cooperation given by local teachers and com plimented highly the work of both faculty members and pupils of the Southern Pines school. The publishers’ display was considered helpful to teachers throughout the county as it gave them a chance to examine the sup plementary readers before mak-. ing their selections. /3/14/U/O/V sci/mils SffHH. ••• 0mpr/A/ sm^. 6f,53ffi4m Z>£P7: BIRTHS At Moore County Hospital: October 14—Mr. and Mrs. Ro land Allen, E.
