left, commandant of the USAF Air-Ground
school at Southern Pines, presents a check for
^720.75 to Paul C. Butler, right, chairman of the
Southern Pines March of Dimes. This represents

average was higher.

above, are Maj. Jack L. Giannini, third from
left, who headed USAFAGOS’ March of Dimes
campaign, and Sgt. Glenn L. Cross, who assisted
him. Thanks were expressed by Mr. Butler,

Would Not Accept
Nomination In 8th
With the close of filing time for
candidates for State and Federal
offices at noon Saturday, Tar
Heels found themselves with eight
candidates for the United States
Senate seat now held by Alton A
Lennon, the Wilmington attoinov
who was appointed to the oLtico
after the death of Sen. Willi-,
Smith last year.
Rep. Deane of Rockingham \\ ho
District Superior Court solicitoi,
was without opposition at the
close cf filing time—either lioni
another Democrat in the Mav 29
primary or from a Republican m
the election next November.
C. B. Deane of Rockingham who
filed for his fourth term in the
House of Representatives, faces
opposition in the primary from
Attorney Coble Funderburk of
Monroe and in the November
election from a Sanford Republi
can, Harold W. Gavin, an attor
ney.
Statewide primary races were
assured for insurance commission
er and state treasurer.
The seven Democratic Senator
ial candidates running in the May
primary are: Lennon, Former
Governor W. Kerr Scott, Haw
River; Alvin Wingfield, Jr., Char
lotte; W. M. Bostick, Cary; Henry
L. Sprinkle, Greensboro; A. E.
Turner, Palmyra; and Olla Ray
Boyd, Pinetown. The Republican
candidate, who will face the pri
mary winner in November, is Paul
C. West of Raleigh.
Patch Refused Candidacy
C. S. Patch, Jr., of Southern
Pines, remained a possible choice
for the Republican nomination for
Eighth District Congressman up to
the recent District Convention at
Lexington during which Gavin
was chosen as nominee.
Patch revealed several months
ago that a number of State G. O.
P. leaders were urging him to run
for Congress in this district. He

McNeill’s Gulf Service
Southern Pines, N. C.
had several conferences with
party leaders and addressed a Re
publican rally at Durham. It was
not until just before the District
convention at Lexington that
Patch decided not to become a
candidate and he did not attend
the convention.
The local man told The Pilot
that he had informed State party
leaders several times prior to the
convention that he felt he could
! not become a candidate unless
some satisfactory explanation was
offered for the failure of the Jus
tice Department in Washington to
approve nomination of H. F. Sea-
well, Jr., of Carthage, to the post
of Federal Attorney in the Middle
District of North Carolina, an of
fice for which he had been recom
mended by the State party and for
which he had been endorsed by
many prominent Democrats in
cluding Gov. William B. Umstead.
Patch said that he made his de
cision not to become a candidate
because he thinks Seawell was not
treated fairly in being denied the
appointment which will apparent
ly now go to Edwin M. Stanley
of Greensboro whose nomination
for the post was sent to the Sen
ate by President Eisenhower.
Patch said that being from Moore
County, he felt he would be too
closely involved in the SeaweU
situation to accept the nomination,
in view of his feelings on the mat
ter. He said he thinks Gavin will
make a fine candidate.
Seawell did not attend the State
Republican convention at Char
lotte, but the final action of the
gathering was to give him a stand
ing vote of confidence.

Rolarians Amazed
At Orchid Culture
Amazement was the general re
action when members of the
Southern Pines Rotary Club visit
ed Carolina Orchids, Inc., on Mid
land Road last Friday after their
regular luncheon session at the
Country Club. '
Guided by Mrs. Karl Bridges,
club members were struck not
only by the beauty of the flowers,
but the great numbers of potted
plants, the time taken in cultiva
tion and such facts as the millions
of seeds produced in each seed
pod, only a few of which reach
germination.
Wage rates paid by North Caro
lina farmers were slightly higher
on January 1, 1954, than a year
earlier.
United States wheat prices in
recent weeks have continued the
advance that began in October,
1953.
Improper use of driver’s license
resulted in loss of driving privi
leges for 55 North Carolinians last
year.
