FOOTBALL HERE TONIGHT - BACK THE HOME TEAM FOOTBALL HERE TONIGHT - BACK THE HOME TEAM 52 TWENTY-FOUR PAGES TWENTY-FOUR PAGES PRICE—TEN CENTS Stevenson Arrives, Hnnts Deer, Rests At Farm not identified, detail. Governor Stevenson’s paper plate was heaped high and he pitched in with gusto, seated on a wooden bench at a rough pine table near the cook-shed, in his bluejeans, red visored leather cap Adlai Stevenson, vacationing here with his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest L. Ives, spent the first two days in the Moore forests hunting deer. He didn’t fire a shot, since all the deer he saw were does, but— still jaunty, if weary, by Tuesday night—he said he was having ‘•the best time in years.” The Democratic party leader was in hunting clothes within an hour after arriving at the South ern Pines railroad station via The Palmland Monday morning, and was off to the woods with '“The Glory Hole” hunters of Aber deen. Tuesday, the 1952 Democratic Presidential candidate and former governor of Illinois was the guest of the D, C. Blue Hunting Club, a group of woodsmen dating back some decades in Moore County history. Membership in the two hunting groups overlaps. Highlight of the hunt was the venison dinner served at midday 'Tuesday at the D. C. Blue Hunt ing club’s rustic lodge near Jack- son Springs. The cabin was first used by the hunters while the late Dr. Alec McLeod, of Aberdeen, was a member. In his will he left the small weathered structure and.surrounding tract of woods to the club “for 21 years following my death.” He died in June, 1948. A number of visitors joined the party at the woodland, retreat for the feast of venison steak cooked over charcoal, venison brunswick stew simmered long in a big iron pot, sliced bread, coffee and old- fashioned persimmon pudding. Elbert Gamer headed the cooking Chairmen Named For Seal Sale Here, In County Commimity chairmen in the 1954 seal sale of the Moore Coun ty Tuberculosis Association were listed this week by J. D. Hobbs, county chairman, and the Rev. J. R. Funderburk, head of the Negro division of the sale. The seal sale—with proceeds going to local, state and national efforts in the fight against tuber culosis—will start Monday. Directors of the Association, meeting Tuesday night at Carth age, decided to enter the Moore County returns for the first three days of the sale in the national contest which will bring the world premiere of the film, “The Silver Chalice,” to a town or area 1> 9 Association having the largest per X TSyCrS capita return from its mail sale Monday, ’Tuesday and up to noon Wednesday.

Stevenson stepped off the Sea board s Palmland here Monday morning, he was surrounded by school supervisors seeking his autograph. Photographers had to part the throng to get a picture of the Democratic leader who a few moments later apologized for arriving in the South wearing a topcoat. The schoof supervisors, here for a state convention, are obviously enjoying the encounter. Ladies in the picture were (Pilot Staff Photo) and tan corduroy hunting jacket. Little fuss was made over the distinguished visitor, who took his share of kidding and handed it back with his noted quick wit. Many in the party, mostly native sons of Moore, were Repubiiean by heritage. ’They accepted him with royal hospitality, laughed at his sallies and at their own, and basked in the atmosphere of goodwill and friendliness which filled the air like the rich scent of the venison stew. Cuts Off Shirt-Tails About the only recognition ac corded Stevenson as a celebrity was his selection—an honor for a newcomer to the hunt—^for the solemn duty of cutting off the shirt-tails of two hunters who had fired, and missed. By coincidence, these happened to be the presi dent and vice-president of the club, John O’QuinA of Jackson Springs and R. L. Bennett of El- lerbe. Also by coincidence—^they had fired at the same buck. ! A small knife was handed the ( Governor, then swapped for a j bigger one, and yet a bigger, till i finally he stood armed with a ' murderous-looking weapon. He tested the blade gingerly before applying it to Bennett’s apparel, and quizzically asked, “I wonder, is he a Republican?” There was a laugh, but no answer, and he got to work, carving off a large segment of drygoods. Later Ben nett chuckled, “I certainly am a Republican—100 per cent—and I’m looking forward to doing the same thing to him before the week is out.” A buck bagged by Make Pleas ants of Aberdeen Monday provi ded the foundation for Tuesday’s feast. As they ate, two fresh-kill ed young deer hung near by, shot Tuesday morning by two other visitors, W. C. Runnings of Char lotte and R. L.

A relative who visited Raymond Wednesday said that the local man was getting along as well as could be expected and is recuper ating slowly. The visitor quoted Raymond as asking that the Pilot publish the young man’s appreci ation and gratitude for the “help, sympathy and prayers” given for him'and others in the explosion and fire at the Southern Pines Motor Co. and Cameron Oil Co. building. Raymond’s cousin, Alec Cameron, died as a result of burns received at that time and Robert Cameron, a brother of Alec, was burned on hands and arms. 140 TREES GIVEN The creosoting company at Gulf from which poles for Memorial Field lights were purchased this week began picking up about 140 pine trees in this area which were blown down in Hurricane Hazel and which were donated to the lights fund by interested persons. Value of the donated trees will be taken off the company’s .bill for the Memorial Field poles. W. B. Holliday, chairman of the lights project, thanked all who contributed trees, thus making a substantial contribution to the lights campaign. CLUB SPEAKER Dr. W. C.

Both gatherings were at the Country Club. With about 45 employees and an annual operating budget ex ceeding a quarter of a million dollars, the town, said Cuning- ham, is a “big operation.” Preview of Bulleliti The manager described his talk to the two clubs, which varied only slightly, as a verbal preview of facts and figures to be publish ed next week in a “Citizen’s Di gest,” the information bulletin that is sent by the town to all residents of the community. He pointed out that the 1954-55 tax bill of each property owner is computed at a rate of $1.75 on each $100 assessed value of real and personal property. A local resident with property valued at $5,000 pays a tax of $87.50, Cun ningham said, which amounts to about $1.68 per week for all mu nicipal services. In using the example of a resi dent paying $87.50 in town tax, Cunningham pointed out that 84 per cent of the town’s property owners pay less than this amount (Continijed on page 8) DEMOCRATS PLAN CAROLINA DINNER Moore County Democrats are planning' a post-election dinner at the Carolina Hotel in Pinehurst Saturday, with accommodations limited to about 80 persons.
