Tiny Tot contest were Richard T.
Morgan and Dolly Inglebretsen.
Other winners were: prince and

Arthur McDuffie
Also Believed To
Be Red Prisoner
A Moore County soldier whose
name appeared on the list of
prisoners announced by the Com
munists in December, 1951, is
Arthur R. McDuffie, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry B. McDuffie of
Biscoe, Route 1. Despite the mail
address, the family lives in Moore
county. Nature of the mail ad
dress is probably the reason he
has not previously been listed
by The Pilot as among the Moore
County prisoners.
McDuffie was listed first as
missing in action April 25, 1951.
He was considered missing until
the Communist prisoner list was
made public in December of that
year. It was reported to the
Pilot, although not officially or
directly, that his family has hear^
from McDuffie since the 1951
prisoner list was announced.
The two other MoOre County
servicemen listed by The Pilot is
Red prisoners, as noted in last
week’s paper, are Cpl Henry
Bradford of Southern Pines and
Sgt. 1-c Gentry T. Frye of near
Carthage.
Families and friends are eager
ly watching the lists of exchanged
prisoners, now being published
daily in the press, for the names
of these three men.
If there are Other men from
Moore county known to have
been Communist prisoners. The
Pilot would like to be -informed
about them.

Chief At Robbins
Irvin Morrison, a former mem
ber of the Southern Pines police
department, has been appointed
chief of police at Robbins, by ac

officer at Robbins for about a
year. He had formerly been with
the Raeford police department
and had also served as chief of
police at Mount Olive.

night officer vacancy at Robbins.
With U. S. milk production this
year up over last year, most of
the increase is going into butter,
powdered milk and cheese, prod
ucts being bought by the gov

Audrey West Brown, Southern
Pines’ ace tennis player, brought
home another trophy last week.
She was winner of the women’s
doubles in, the Cracl^erland Open
Championships at the University

cent finals events.
The Cowan-Fowler team last
month defeated Miss Brown and
Joan Ramey of Oak Ridge, Tenn.,
in fingls of both the North Caro-
lia Open at Asheville and South
Carolina Open at Greenville.
The Athens win was a decisive
one, 6-2, 6-1. Mrs. Ball had pre
viously defeated Miss Brown in
quarterfinals of the women’s
singles. They then teamed for
the doubles event.
The Crackerland is one of the
south’s oldest and best-ranked
tournaments, drawing players
from many states, in all parts of
the country. Bill Umsteader of
Abbeville, S. C., was winner of
the men’s singles championship.
Attending the tournament with
Miss Brown was Millie Monte-

ment player in the Sandhill Ten

Miss Brown has held the wom
en’s singles title in the N. C.
championships since 1950, the
doubles title since 1948. She has
not yet decided whether or not
she will defend these titles this
year, she said this week. The
