9 Page TWELVE THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 5, 1954 Church Training School Underway For the third consecutive year, Flora Macdonald college in Red Springs is opening its doors to the Leadership Training School, spon sored jointly by the college and Fayetteville Presbytery. The school began Monday evening, February 1, and will end Monday evening March 1. Classes will be held from 7:30 to 9:30, with ten- minute intermission. The Rev. L. B. McKeithen, chairman of Fay etteville Presbytery’s Committee and former resident of Cameron, will again be director of the train ing school. That the need for such a school was felt proved itself the first year, when with an expected en rollment of possibly one hundred an average attendance of 365 necessitated the quick shifting of classrooms for more space, split ting one course into three groups, and bringing in extra instructors. Because of this overwhelming success in its first year, the num ber of faculty members last year increased to eight—the attendance also increased, with more than four hundred coming from a ra dius of 60 miles.

Martin Harris Moore Charles T. Crocker, 87, one of Pinehurst’s most beloved winter residents, a leading industrialist of Massachusetts, died suddenly of a heart attack Friday morning. Mr. Crocker had gone out early, as was his custom, driving his car himself, to look over his estate, Pinewild, west of Pinehurst. Turn ing off the main farm road, the car had apparently stuck in deep sand. Death had overtaken Mr. Crocker as he started to walk up the road. The body was discovered by the groom, Charles Yarborough, as he was exercising the Crocker horses. The farm superintendent, Wiley Garner, was summoned, who, with friends of the family, broke the news to Mrs. Crocker. With Mrs. Crocker at the time was her sister. Miss Constance Bigelow. A son, Tom Crocker and his wife, flew down from Fitchburg, Mass., arriving t^lat evening. Funeral services for Mr. Crock er were held Monday at Fitcfr burg, the home of the fam ily for many generations, and lo cation of the famous paper mills of which Mr. Crocker was presi dent and treasurer at the time of his death. Held in Christ Church of which Mr. Crocker had been a vestryman since 1897 and warden since 1937, the services were marked by dignity and simplicity, with white roses on the casket the only flowers. More than 1400 filled the church, including dele gations from the mills, with sev eral hundred more standing out side. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Fay Bigelow Crocker, two sons, Bigelow Crocker and Charles T. Crocker HI, (Tom) both vice- presidents of the firm, eight grandchildren and 21 great-grand children. A daughter, Darthea, Mrs. William Cowgill, died in 1938. "C. T", First Citizen Mr. Crocker was born in Fitch burg, Nov. 10, 1866, the son of Charles T. Crocker and Helen Eliza Tufts Crocker, his mother having been a distant relative of the Tufts family of Pinehurst. He The State Highway Commission recently served notice on sign posters, and all other persons who own, put up or control road side advertising signs on the high way right of way. In a resolution adopted at the January 28 meet ing of the Commission, any adja cent land-owner who allows or permits an advertising sign to be erected on the highway right of way is now just as responsible as the firm or person who erects the sign. The Commission stressed it plans to chase all signs, buildings, and other unauthorized intruders off its right of way. Under the new ruling, the owner of a road side business can be prosecuted when an advertising sign is placed outside his place on highway property, even though he may claim he doesn’t own the sign. Before the recent ruling' mak ing the land-owner jointly respon sible was made, the penalty was limited to $10. Now, that may run as high as the judge thinks wise. Separate penalties may be impos ed for each day the sign is allow ed to stand after it is ordered re moved. PEVEBLUFF By MRS EHRMAN PICKLER sportsman and lover of the out doors.

From a simple boyhood, he went On to become one of the most useful and highly-thought-of citizens of his community and state. Charles T. Crocker was one of the leading industrialists of his state and of the nation. The firm, Crocker, Burbank and Company Association, of which he was pres ident, had been in the family since its foundation in 1826 The com pany had printed the early U. S. currency. Mr. Crocker had headed the company for 23 years and had been connected with it all his life. All his energies, his time, his force of character and great driv ing power went into “the mill.” He knew the process from begin ning to end and knew every man who worked there, many of them personally. He was interested in their problems and concerned himself with them, promoting housing for the mill-workers, recreation facilities, better schools. The Fitchburg Hospital was large ly the result of Crocker generosi ty, as was also the museum and music building and othe^ civic improvements. Mr. Crocker, “C. T.,” as his peo ple called him, was a thoughtful and generous employer, beloved by his men. Deeply hurt when la bor unions came into the town to Organize the mills, he neverthe less cooperated with them, watch ing out for the interests of his em ployees and helping them to es tablish the new system. Though frequently in poor health during the past two or three years, Mr. Crocker continued to go to his of fice and attend to work and, in fact, omitted his customary visits to the Sandhills in order to be on hand. -AT- BUSTER’S CASH MARKET Aberdeen McAllister & hobbs Soutbem Pines Il's Someibing New ...
