Meanwhile Red Cross and county CD forces were preparing for disaster relief. Winds blowing throughout the night began to increase in velocity early Friday and the height of the storm struck here about 11 a. m., tapering 'o-ff thereafter, to be fol- lojived by clearing skies in the afternoon. One of the heaviest rains in the state fell in this area Thursday night and Friday—over seven inches, according to the weekly weather report of Charles B. Garney, meteorologist at Raleigh, through local sources. Temperatures dropped sharply after the passage of Hazel across the state and there has been frost several mornings this week. Toppled trees, washed roads drives and yards, failure of elec tric power for varied lengths of time and a cutoff of long-distance telephone service were the chief features of damage and public in convenience in this area.

FARMERS APPROVE PLAN Farmers of Moore County join ed those of the state last Friday in voting approval of the “Nick els for Know-How” program that is paid for by a five cents per ton levy on feed and fertilizer pur chases, authorizing the program to continue for the next three years. There was a very small vote in Moore County, because of the hurricane. FALLEN TREES CAN HELP LIGHTS FUND Persons having blown- down pine trees that have not yet been cut up can aid the Memorial Field lights ifund by giving the trees which, if suitable, will be picked up by a creosoting company and the value of the trees applied on the bill owed to the company for the poles used at Memor ial Field. Those wishing to give trees are asked to call W. B. (Chick) Holliday at 2-7861. Bill Kenny, of the Sandhill Fores-Tree Co. will check all trees to see if they are suitable for the creoso ting company's use. The company will remove them if they are found usable. The trees dio not have to be as big as those made into poles for Memorial Field, as the com pany treats various smaller sizes of poles. Holliday, who is general chairman of the lights fund for the Chamber of Commerce, isaid that if enough trees are given, the fund might show a surplus which could be put into ob taining much-needed bleach ers for the field. Blue Knights Get 24-20 Victory Over Aberdeen Playing before some 1,500 per sons under lights at Aberdeen Saturday night, the Blue Knights cf Southern Pines High School toppled the unbeaten and untied Aberdeen Red Devils from their six-nian football pinnacle, 24-20 in one of the best contests seen hereabouts in many years. The victory brightens the chances of Southern Pines for the county championship and a crack at playoffs that could lead to the State Class A title. If Aberdeen bad won, the Red Devils would have been county champs. Going into the game the favor ite, Aberdeen was pushed hard by the Blue Knights all the way and the winning touchdown came when Johnny Watkins piefted up a fumble in the last quarter and ran 35 yards to score. It was a storybook ending to a great con test which Coach Hugh Bowman’s Red Devils came so close to win ning that local hearts were getting heavy at the moment when the alert Watkins made the recovery that meant the game. Of the Blue Knights’ other three touchdowns, Billy Cox made two and James Humphrey one. Gerald Cribb, Aberdeen’s flashy back, did all he could for his team in scoring two of their three touchdowns. J. D. Cribb made the other. All four of the Blue Knights’ tries for points after touchdown failed—a situa tion that might have gotten them (Continued on Page 3) Home Games To Provide Thrills For Local Fans Hodges To Be Speakers With an accent on youth the naticn-wide Democratic ei to regain control of Congress Moore County Democrats ws host Tuesday evening ofT week to Rep.
