Bowman) USAFAGOS Driver Wins Safety Tests For Pope, Ninth Air Force, And TAG ^ Will Compete Next In Roadeo For All Southeastern Bases OAKLAND PARK SOLD Thornton Sellers of Vass has announced his sale of Oakland Park near Lakeview, Negro rec reation center, to Harry H. Young of Pennsylvania, a teacher in the colored high school at Aberdeen. Oakland Park, built about six years ago, has been used as a Boy Scout camporee site for col ored Scouts. . _ A N.C. State college study indi- Manganese, one of the minor cates that more efficient practices elements in plant nutrition, is could increase the pork produced nesday after visiting relatives S^Vey^"" ® Ln?®" The USAF Air-Ground Opera tions school at Highland Pines Inn, fervent promoter of highway safety and now heading up “Operation Impact,” has an out standing example of safe driving right in its midst. This is Tech Sgt. J. R. Clonin ger, husky 29-year-old airman on the transportation staff. Sergeant Cloninger, as was noted in The Pilot at the time, won first place in his class in the Safety Roadeo at Pope AFB May 6, with Pope and USAFAGOS personnel competing; went back to Pope May 26 to place first again in the Ninth Air Force Roadeo; and now has placed third in the biggest one yet, held at Langley AFB, Virginia, for the Tactical Air Command. As one of the three top men he will go to Tampa, Fla., about September 1 as a contestant in the Southeastern Air Force meet.. If he continues to win, other con^ tests will follow: at the Minneso ta State Fair in the fall, for all the armed services, and the final one, at Ontario, when U. S. arm ed forces will compete against those of Canada. Five classes are held at each roadeo, for drivers handling va rious sorts of equipment. Sergeant Cloninger’s achievements have been in the bus driver class, in which a regulation bus mut be driven through complicated ob stacle course in a given length of time. He has parked the bus in narrow alleys with one inch clearance on each side, stopping it just six inches from the rear; zigzagged it through lanes lined with barrels, and eased it through patterns made by tennis balls placed in rows on the ground. If the bus touches anything, points come off. Sergeant Cloninger was serving at the time of the tests as bus driver for the Air-Ground school. He has since been promoted, and is now assistant motor sergeant, assisting Tech. Sgt. Barrett. He has driven the bus thousands of | miles taking students on their weekly instruction trip to Pope, meeting trains and in a wide va riety of special services, including the transporting of a busload of youngsters to a drop zone on Na tional Kids Day. He is a native Tar Heel, born on a rural route out of Lincoln- ton, and drove a truck before en tering the Air Force 10 years ago. He has been handling automotive equipment of one sort or another during aU that time^. In 1944, while helping win the war in Europe, he won the Third Army roadeo at Linz, Austria. ^ His recent exploits have brought him several nice prizes. The first won him some cash— $15; the second, a trip with the other winners to the International Speed Car races at Indianapolis; the third, a medal. Each also car ries with it a free trip to the next roadeo as the safety program pro gresses. Sergeant Clo^ninger and his wife live at 1010 North May street. In the first contest, two other USAFAGOS staff members did weU, Sergeant Autry winning a second place and Airman First Class Brower a fourth. Local Youth Tried For Grave Crime In Orange Court Duke 'Whiting, lO-yearrold Southern Pines student at the University of North Carolina, was given a five-year suspended sen tence in Orange County superior court at Hillsboro last week on a charge of a crime against nature. The case involved a nine-year- old girl, the daughter of a Baptist minister of Chapel Hill. Young Whiting, a brilliant and talented student, was placed in the custody of an uncle, an Air Force captain who recently re turned from Korea. The uncle at tended the trial and told Judge Chester R. Morris that he would serve as Duke’s guardian at his air base in Alabama. A Duke University psychiatrist, in a letter presented to Judge Morris, stated that in his opinion the youth is not abnormal but had been the victim of some un happy influences in his life, which have caused severe emotional ptrain. Topical Stamp Displays Will Be Shown At Library The Sandhill Stamp club will present an exhibit of topical col lections at the Southern Pines library for two weeks starting" to day (Friday). “Topicals” are groups of stamps on one theme, such as animals, birds, flags, maps, etc., or hinging on some special event. They fre quently require much ingenuity to collect. Swiftness in assembling a “topical” is exemplified by the collection of stamps issued by all British colonies June 2 honoring the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. This group, gathered by the Rev. C. V. Covell, will be on dis play. Mrs. S. S. Benson’s collection shows “Women on Stamps,” while that of David Duke and his moth er, Mrs. Catherine Duke, is a complete showing of stamps of the United Nations postal author ities. Exhibitors will include a half- dozen members of the Sandhills club, which has been holding reg ular meetings for the past two years.

Marks of her heels as she resisted were found on the dirt walk. Along the path were found, first, her partial plate, and a little far ther on her pocketbook. Somewhere along the way her assailant stabbed her viciously several times in the body and the throat. The wound which must have ended her resistance was in the throat, piercing the jugular vein. A nurse who preceded her along the street by a few minutes told police that she had heard rustling in some bushes in a va cant lot at that point, and had started to run, with the feeling that someone might be hiding there. Miss McLeod’s only immediate survivors are her brothers, W. A., M. L. and Murdock McLeod, all living in or near Crestview, Fla. Funeral services were held for her at Crestview Wednesday afternoon. Born In Hoke County The family is originally from the Timberland section of Hoke county, and Miss McLeod was born there May 10, 1885. A neph ew, Julian McLeod, lives at Rae- ford, and a niece, Mrs. Bill Davis, at High Point. They learned of the tragedy via an AP release in the Sunday papers. The Jacksonville author ities apparently had no informa tion concerning her relatives, and no' word had come to them. They came at once to Southern Pines, to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will Wiggs, and telephone calls to Florida were made verify ing the' appalling facts. Miss McLeod had had a room at the Wiggs home during all her 18 years here, and, Mrs. Wiggs says, was “just like a member of the family.” She was a charter member of Brownson Memorial Presbyterian church, also of Magnolia chapter. Order of the Eastern Star. Was TB Patient She took her nurse training at a government hospital in Lake City, Fla., and served on its staff during World War 1 and later. The long hours and hard work of those years took their toll. She was stricken with tuberculosis, and returned to the Sandhills to become a patient at Finecrest Manor. When she was discharged as cured, she was also retired,, and in 1935 moved to the Wiggs home. When World War 2 came on, and the nurse shortage develop ed, her conscience would not let her stay idle. She relinquished her retirement benefits to return to work in 1941 at the Moore County hospital, remaining there until her departure 15 months ago. In Florida she had no difficulty getting a job at once at the coun ty-owned Duval Medical Center. She was on night duty from the start, working from 3:30 until 11 p. m. Loved Church. Movies She was a brisk, tart-tongued, tireless and good-hearted woman, active in her church, a devotee of her profession and rigid up holder of its standards. No re cluse, she was active in her nurs es’ association and enjoyed its meetings and occasional social functions. She was an ardent movie-goer and showed up at the Carolina theatre just as often as the picture changed. In her hours off duty she was a familiar sight downtown, stopping all along the way to chat with friends. She expressed much sadness at leaving Southern Pines, saying, however, to a friend, ‘T feel I should be near my closest kin folks. This way, I see my broth ers too seldom and after all, we don’t have so many years left.” Hams develop the best flavor when smoked at relatively low temperatures.
