Tribute To Late
Miss Campbell
The Alfred Moore Chapter,
Daughters of the American Rev
olution, has adopted the following
resolutions in memory of the late
Miss Florence Campbell of South
ern Pines:
'■‘We, the members of the Alfred
Moore Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, pause in
loving remembrance to offer our
tribute to one of pur most beloved
members. Miss Florence Camp
bell, who on August 9, 1953, was
called to her eternal home.
“Her friendliness, ^her sincerity,
and her loving interest in each in
dividual in the Chapter, endeared
her to all of us. Her loyalty and
service to the Chapter, and her
devotion to the principles for
which the Daughters of the
American Revolution stand, will
ever be an inspiration to those
whom she left behind. As Chapter
treasurer from 1949 to the sum
mer of 1953, she performed her
duties with an unsurpassed effi
ciency which went far beyond the
call of duty.
“We deeply feel our loss, but
her years of Icyal service among
us will ever remain a blessed
memory to cherish.
“Therefore be it resolved: that
we keep in our hearts the mem
ory of her loyal and beautiful
life; that a copy of these resolu
tions be sent to her family; that
copies be sent to the local papers;
and that a copy be recorded in
the minutes of the Chapter.”
The tribute was signed by Ruth
Harris Tyson, Allie Graves Grier,
and Meade Seawell, committee.

BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENTS CENTER
AROUND STONEYBROOK STEEPLECHASE
Two of the most brilliant social
events of the current Sandhills
season last week climaxed local
activities centering around the
Stoneybrook Steeplechase.
Out-of-town owners and offi
cials, and other visitors of distinc
tion in the steeplechasing field
were honored at a buffet dinner
Friday evening given by Mr. and
Mrs. Vernon G. Cardy at their
home, Vernpn Valley Farms.
More than 150 were served from
long tables placed in a U-shape at
the end of the flower-decked
drawing-room. Silver steamers
kept the hot foods at a sizzle, and
silver platters offered a wide
choice of other dishes. The table
was decorated in green and white,
the colors of the race meeting, and
a white cake bore on it, in green
icing, a picture of a jumper going
over fences, also the legend, “Wel
come to Stoneybrook Race Meet.”
Elsewhere in the room and
about the house the Cardy colors
of red and yellow were prominent
in arrangements of scarlet carna
tions and golden jonquils and I Of Medical Auxiliary

pjtality.
Saturday evening, afjer the
races, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd P. Tate

the finest example of functional
architecture among North Caro
lina homes. The entire lower
floor was thrown open for the
party, also the glass-enclosed ter
race at the back and the extensive
open terrace at the front, over
looking the lake. A local band

BELIEVE IT OR NOT
Facts about modern pharmacy are far
more striking than interplanetary sci
ence-fiction.
Believe it or not, 90% of the prescrip
tions being filled today could not have
been dispensed 10 years ago because
the drugs prescribed were, at that
time, unknown or unproved.
Cold cream is over 18 centuries old,
The original formula for cold cream
was devised by the Roman physician,
Galen, and is still popular today.
Your Rx dollar is worth more today!
Although the average cost of prescrip
tions has gone up, your Rx dollar is
more effective. It buys more drugs
that cure rather than just relieve.

Nurse recruitment was a major
project of the Auxiliary to the
Medical Society of the State of
North Carolina over the past year,
according to the State Auxiliary
president, Mrs. Gilbert M. Bil
lings, of Morganton.
Surveying the report of activi
ties submitted by the individual
county medical auxiliaries from
throughout the state in prepara
tion for their annual convention,
Mrs. Bilhngs called attention to
some ten or more nursing scholar
ships set up in hospitals through
out the Tar Heel State under
sponsorship of local county medi
cal auxiliaries.
These scholarships have been
established in hospitals maintain
ing nursing schools in order that
worthy young girls interested in
making nursing a career may be
assisted in obtaining their profes
sional training. In an effort to
meet the tremendous demand for
nursing personnel, all medical
auxiliaries in the state serve as a
source of info-rmation on the va
rious types of nursing scholarships
available and sponsor appeals for
student nurses as part of the state
wide medical auxiliary nurse re
cruitment program.
The Auxiliary to the State Med
ical Society is currently making
plans for its annual convention to
be held at the Carolina Ho’tel in
Pinehurst, in conjunction with the
100th Annual Session of the Medi
cal Society of North Carolina,
May 3-5. At the May session, Mrs.
P. G. Fox o-f Raleigh, president
elect, will succeed Mrs. Billings
as president of the Auxiliary.
In addition to armual projects,
the medical auxiliary maintains
sanatoria beds at the McCain San
atorium, at the Western North
Carolina Sanatorium at Black
Mountain and at the Eastern
North Carolina Sanatorium at
Wilson. These beds are known as
the McCain Bed, the Stevens Bed,
and the Cooper Bed, respectively,
contributions for the support of
these beds coming from all county
Medical Auxiliaries. The beds may
be occupied by doctors, their
wives or families, or by any wor
thy person approved by the proper

Bird Club Visits

Eleven members of the Bird

Pond Wednesday of last week and
a listing of 22 varieties was their

on the trip and at feeding stations.

the pond were female ruddy
ducks, lesser scaup ducks and
pied-billed grebes.
Next Wednesday a trip to Red
Springs is planned to see the birds
in the gardens of Flora Macdon

been improved.
The club has been invited there
by Mrs. P. P. McCain, who is dean

birds will be welcome to take the
trip. Cars will start from 160
South Bennett Street at 1 p.m.,

Music Appreciation
Group Hears Brahms,
And Tschaikowsky
State Manager Visits
Dogwood Grove 253
Dogwood Grove No. 253 of the
Supreme Forest Woodmen Circle
met in regular session Wednesday
night with 14 members and one
visitor, the state manager, Mrs.
Ethel Donaldson of Charlotte,
present.
Evelyn Yonts, president, presi
ded over the meeting. Plans were
made for attendnace of this Grove
at the district convention to be
held in Laurinburg April 7.
At the close of the session a so
cial hour was enjoyed.
Tuesday afternoon the Music
Appreciation class considered
Brahms as a. link between Beetho
ven and the Nationalist period.
Mrs. Norris Hodgkins, Jr., made
the transition through Brahm’s
Symphony No. 1, sometimes called
“Beethoven’s 10th.” The group
enjoyed not only the Symphony
but the satisfaction of recognizing
the sirnflarities between it and
Beethoven’s 9th.
Tschaikowsky was chosen by
Mrs. Hodgkins to represent the
next period which used the na
tional idiom, national folk music,
as a basis for its compositions.
The Ballet, “Swan Lake,” arous
ed the imagination of the class,
and the Polish Mazurka with its
pride and arrogance not only af
forded a contrast but showed
Tschaikowsky at his orchestral
best.
At the next meeting, April 6,
three selections from the program
of the North Carolina Symphohy
Orchestra which will give a con
cert in Southern Pines late in
April, will be interpreted and
played.
