Masonic Lodge No. 484 Holds Ladies
Night With Dr. Hiatt, Sr., Speaker
“Enjoy Life—it’s later than you
think” was the Rev. J. S. Hiatt’s
theme when he appeared as fea
tured speaker at the 58th Anni
versary Banquet and Ladies Night
of Southern Pines Masonic Lodge
No. 484 A. F. & A. M. held at the
Pinehurst Country Club last Sat
urday night.
Noted as a witty and effective
after dinner speaker, the Rev. Mr.
Hiatt proved to be that and more.
During his speech there was never
more than a minute without a
laugh, yet he wove into his witti
cisms a meaningful message
which highlighted love, hope, and
appreciation as the important
things in life. “Happines is some
thing you can’t buy with money,”
he emphasized, and he pointed
up fear as the worst enemy of the
human race.
A matter of pride to Masons
was his statement that no boy or
girl trained at Oxford Orphanage
had ever been convicted of a ma
jor crime.
L. L. Woolley, toastmaster, pre
sented the Rev. C. K. Ligon, who
introduced the speaker. The Rev.
Mr. Hiatt, D. D., is superintendent
of the Chatham. Memorial Hospi
tal at Elkin, member of Statesville
Lodge 27 and Piedmont Com-
mandery, Knights Templar, Win
ston-Salem, member of the West
ern North Carolina Methodist
Conference and former presiding
elder and district superintendent.
He is the father of Dr. J. S. Hiatt,
Jr., of Southern Pines, in whose
home he and Mrs. Hiatt were
guests while here.
Arrangements of colorful hot
house flowers were used on all the
tables, and those on the speakers’
table were flanked by candles. A
roast turkey dinner was served.
Herbert W. Ehrhardt, Jr., led
the group in singing the first stan
za of “America,” after which the
Rev. Cheves K. Ligon gave the
invocation. Mrs. Eleanor Caldwell
presented dinner music. John Mc-
Crummen welcomed the ladies
and iVIrs. A. Ray McDonald re
sponded.
Seated at a special table were
Masons eligible to receive 25-year
certificates, and their guests. To
them Mr. Woolley brought greet
ings from the Grand Lodge and
presented the certificates. In the
group were: Herbert Cameron
and daughter, Mrs. James Law-
sen; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Chappell,
Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Clark, Mr. and
Mrs. R. C. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs.

vick, and Charles W. Picquet.
Mr. Woolley paid special tribute
to Mr. Picquet, saying that what
he had lacked in attendance at
meetings he had made up in serv
ice to Southern Pines, Pinehurst
and the State. He pinned upon Mr.
Picquet a 30-year pin, which the
latter said he would wear with
Ijride.

Three Injured In
Truck-Car Crash
Early Wednesday
Three persons were injured—
requiring hospitalization—in
a car-truck collision near West
End about 1:30 a. m. Wednesday.
Patrolman E. G. Shomaker of
Southern Pines, who, with Patrol
man C. G. Wimberly of Aberdeen,
investigated said that a Pontiac
coupe driven by Harding Caple
of Ellerbe, Route 1, a Negro, with
a 17-year-old Negro boy, Paul
Goins of West End as passenger,
collided with a 1953 Ford pickup
truck driven by William Ren
Maness, 54, of Greensboro.
Capel, who faces a reckless
driving charge, was headed to
ward West End on the highway
from Pinehurst was five feet over
the center line of the road when
the collision occurred, the patrol
man said. He was the most seri
ously injured, suffering lacera
tions of scalp, ankle and knee and
was held overnight at Moore
County hospital.^
Maness, driving a newspaper
delivery truck of the Mid State
Delivery Company, received a
deep cut on his left temple, but
was released from the hospital
after treatment. Goins, riding with
Capel, had abrasions of head and
knees.
Patrolman Shomaker said the
truck was badly smashed and the
Pontiac was so badly torn up he
could not tell what year model
it was on his first inspection of
the* wrecked car Wednesday
morning. The Pontiac came to rest
180 feet from the poipt of impact,
according to the patrolman, while
the truck traveled 66 feet after
the collision. ,

that morning.
All the bookmakers are believ
ed to have been transients who
left this area soon after the races.
While secrecy surrounded exact
moves being made in the investi
gation, it is believed that efforts
are being made to apprehend as
many as possible of the bokmak-
ers and to bring them to trial in
Moore County even if it takes ex
tradition proceedings from anoth
er state.
Brown also said that officials of
the Stoneybrook Hunt Racing As
sociation, the sponsoring organi
zation for the races, would be
questioned to determine if they
had knowledge of the gambling
at the track.
