Harry H. Pethick has been cast
as Capt. Chris Carver who has
been given the command of the
finest luxury liner afloat, the S.
S. Holiday. The scene is laid at
the dock as this ship is to start
her maiden voyage. Captain Car
ver and others who have gathered
for the great occasion are inter
viewed by Ed Cox who im,per-
.sonates Dave Garroway of TV
fame.
Some of the scenes of the show
pedict the adventures the cap
tain may look forward to as he
takes command of the ship and
other scenes are flashbacks to the
unusual and varied experiences
he has had during his years at
sea. The result is a fast-moving
show that abounds in color and
variety.
In addition to music provided
by Mrs. L. D. McDonald at the
piano, Bobby Ferguson and “The
.Sportsmen” will play throughout
the performance. Chorus girls are
chosen from high school students.
Various specialty numbers by
talented persons from this area,
including dancing by Mrs. Mar
tha Aden, will be interspersed
with scenes of the show.
Will Wiggs is general chairman
for the event. Other committee
chairmen, are: Miss Carolyn Hos-i
kins, advertising; Gene Blackwel-
der, tickets; Mrs. Algene Hoskins, i
casting; and Robert Leland, props. I
PLANS FOR STORE
NEAR COMPLETION
Plans and specifications for
a new Colonial Stores build
ing on property acquired by
the company at the corner of
N. E. Broad St., and Connect
icut Ave. are now in the pro
cess of being completed, ac
cording to A. P. Love, adver
tising manager for the cor
poration, with headquarters
at Columbia, Sv C.
"We have defirate plans to
construct a new Colonicil store
in Southern Pines in the not-
too-far future," Mr. Love told
The Pilot. "At present it will
be impossible for me to give
you an approximate comple
tion dale, as we have no idea
ourselves on that," he added.
White middling 15-16ths inch
cotton stored in mill areas will
carry a loan rate of 34.55 cents
per pound; in other than mill
areas, 34.45 cents.

sored by Lions Clubs throughout
the state, but proceeds of the sale
are used locally as well as to as
sist the state projects.
Made By The Blind
Ihroducts to be sold by the Lions
include all types of brooms, door
mats, ironing board covers and a
“kitchen package” of dishcloths
and tea towels. All the products
are made by blind workers, thus
aiding the blind also in another
way.
On Saturday morning of next
week, the products will be sold
in front of the Citizens Bank and
! Trust Co., offering an opportunity
’for any buyers who were missed
during the home canvass.
Any one who wants to make
certain that a Lion will call, or
anyone who knows he will not
be at home on the three nights of
I the canvass and wants some of
I the blind .products, is asked to call
C. S. Patch, Jr., chairman of the
.sale for the Lions Club.
1 In issuing his proclamation,
I Mayor Gilmore told the club:
I “Our community appreciates the
I unselfish work of our Lions Club
'for the blind through its annual
blind products sale and we wish
them success this year.”

September 29-October 1. The au
thorization empowers those mem
bers to act for the club in the cau
cus to be held at the convention.
Wilson Endorsed
Henry Hall Wilson of Monroe
was endorsed for State YDC pres
ident, on motion of Ralph Steed,
seconded by W. Lament Brown.
Mr. Wilson, young Monroe attor
ney who is a nephew of John
Beasley of Southern Pines, is op
posed for the top state office by
Bobby Davis of Rowan County.
Monroe is in Union County, one
of the counties of the Eighth Con
gressional District which includes
Moore. Endorsement was given td
Wilson at the yecent Eighth Dis
trict YDC meeting held in North
WilkesbOro.
Watermelon Cutting?
After Hubert McCaskill of
pinehurst had outlined a proposal
that the Moore County YDC spon
sor next summer a watermelon
cutting and political rally, prefer
ably with a nationally-known
speaker, a motion was adopted
that the new president appoint a
committee to explore the possibil
ities of this suggestion.
, Mr. McCaskill said that prelim
inary approval of holding the
gathering—which might be ex
pected to draw up to 2,000 per
sons—at the Pinehurst racetrack
had been given, but would be
subject to consideratioon by the
.directors of Pinehurst, Inc., at a
meeting in January. The site was
considered because the nearby
stables, empty in the summer,
would provide shelter for a Isirge
ornwd in case of rain.
Gilmoie Presides
Voit Gilmore, county YDC pres
ident for the past year, presided
until the election of Mr. Page. He
reviewed the activities and acv
complishments of the club during
the year and stated that it ap
pears Moore County has a good
chance to win the-O. Max Gard
ner trophy which is presented at
the state convention to a county
club on the basis of membership,
activities and other considera-
■' ions.
, Mr. Gilmore brought up the
matter of a new constitution for
the county club, which was adopt
ed after little discussion. He said
*^hfi+ the new constitution was
prepared at a meeting of the
county YDC executive committee
recently and explained that adop
tion cf new constitutions by coun
ty clubs is a YDC project at the
state level. The State YDC con
stitution has been amended also
!]-. tho iQ54-’5.‘i vear.
The Moore County constitution
differs from a “suggested consti
tution for local clubs” in a few
respects, only one of wh’^b arous
ed any discussion. The stinulationt
in.’ the “suggested constitution”
that active members be between
18 and 40 years of age was omit
ted and the approved document
reads: “Any person above the age
of ,18 who professes and demon
strates allegiance to the principles
cf the Democratic party shall be
eligible for membership.”
The new state constitution,
which is included in a new North
Carolina YDC handbook and di
rectory which was distributed at
the meeting, has this membership
clause: “While this organization
hopes to appeal primarily to
Young Democrats between the
ages of 18 and 40, yet any person
who professes and demonstrates
allegiance to the principles of the
Democratic party shall be eligible
for membership.”
A suggestion by John D. Mc
Connell of Southern Pines that of
ficers of the Moore club be limit
ed to the 18 to 40 age group, was
vigorously opposed by Ralph
Steed of Robbins and others.
“There is no such thing as an
old Democrat,” asserted Mr.
Steed.
There was no motion for or
against the age limitation cf
members or officers and the new
constitution was adopted as pre
sented.
Opening the meeting, President
Gilmore called on Miss Myrtle
Frye of Carthage, who was later
elected secretary of the club, to
serve as secretary during the
meeting.
'Big Year Cbming Up'
W. Lament Brown, chairman of
the Mcore County Democratic
Executive committee, was intro
duced at the opening of the m.eet-
ing and recognized county of
ficials, precinct chairmen, com
munity YDC Club presidents and
others.
Mr. Brown noted that, for Dem
ocrats, “a big year is coming up
in 195,6.” The big target, he said,
is that the Republican candidate
not carry Moore County, as in
1952.
H. Clifton Blue of Aberdeen,
Moore County representative in
the General Assembly and past
State YDC president, spoke brief
ly on his work in the 1955 Gener
al Assembly. He said that there
had been no opposition by any
part of Mcore County to any of
the local bills he had presented.
He described two pieces of leg
islation in which he had been es
pecially interested: creation of
the State water study commission
of seven rnembers and an advis
ory committee named by the Gov
ernor; and accident and health
insurance legislation that requires
cempanies to give notice periods
of increasing length—the longer
the insurance is held—^before
companies can cancel it.
In case of a water emergency,
Mr. Blue explained, a communi
ty or area can appeal to the water
commission which then has the
power to “cut red tape” by using
the power of eminent domain to
get water for the needed purpose.
Following the principal address
of the evening by State Treasurer
Edwin Gill (see another story in
today’s Pilot), the meeting was
adjourned—at the suggestion of
Judge W. A. Leland McKeithen
pf Pinehurst’—in thanks to Mr.
Gilmore, retiring president.
ENTER NEW HOME—Mr. and Mrs. Martin L.
White enter their new home in Kenwood, just
outside the town limits, last Friday as an NBC
television cameraman (front) and a news pho
tographer record the event for a nation-wide au
dience. Other television and news cameramen
and reporters were frequent visitors last week.
White residents of the neighborhood had pro
tested purchase of the home by the retired Ne-
'..a
gro couple. An option, offering the home for
sale by the Whites at $20,000 expired the night
before this photo was made. They reportedly
paid $12,000 for the dwelling. Yesterday, they
said they had not been molested in any way and
that no unpleasant incidents had occurred. They
plan to construct a basement and make other
improvements on the property. (Pilot Photo)
COMMITTEE
(Continued from Page 1)
he believes home financing should
be made easier and more avail
able.
Frank Gramelsback, Amerotron
director of industrial relations,
who said he had just arrived in the
Sandhills, attended the meeting,
accompanied by Ben Campbell,
personnel director.
Mr. Gramelsback said that
eight men with families, and quite
a variance in income, are coming
into the area and will be looking
for homes. Others can be expect
ed in the future as Amerotron
grows, he said, pointing out that
the main executive offices of
Amerotron are now located at
Aberdeen.
Several local realtors said that,
to their dismay, they are hav
ing to write persons who have
been winter visitors here for
years that there are no houses
available. “There’s no question
but what we’re .out of the tourist
business,” said one realtor, refer
ring to persons who come here to
rent houses for the season.
' Uncertainty as to whether the
Air-Ground School, now here on.
a year’s lease, would remain was
pamed as a factor in the housing
situation by several realtors. Colo-
pel Daunt explained that whether
or not the school stays is decided
by Congressional committees and
that no one here has anything to
say about it.
Several realtors and builders
said it’s almost impossible to
build small homes now that will
rent for a reasonable rental, be
cause of the costs involved. There
,was general agreement that a
large, well-financed outside com
pany could alone provide the type
of housing for rent and sale, that
is most needed here now. Investi
gation of possible plans for such
icusing will be one of the func-
ons of the committee.
CURTIS E. BETTINI
Parkway Cleaners
Changes Hands
Change of ownership of the
Parkway Cleaners, 141 E. Penn

week.
Curtis E. Bettini of 280 N. Page

firm in March, 1951, and has own
ed and operated it since that time.
Mr. Bettini is active manager.

work as he owned and operated
the Quality Cleaners in Vass sev
eral years ago.

business and are leasing the build
ing with a one-year option to buy.

W,. Broad St., who has been asso
ciated with Parkway Cleaners for
the past four years, will remain
,under the new management. The
same employees. Dock Johnson
and Louise Judd, will be retained
in the cleaning department.
“I can assure the public they
will get the same good service
they have been receiving at Park
way Cleaners,” Mr. Bettini said
this week.
Mr. Shearon, who expects to
sell his home at 255 Midland Road,
is moving to Fuquay Springs to
become associated with his broth
er-in-law, I. J. Stephens, in opef-
ation of Stephens Wholesale
Builders Supply.
Mrs. Shearon is the former
Elizabeth Padgett of Forest City
and taught school here several
years. The Shearons have three
children, Debra, four; Peggy, two,
and Bob, eight months old. They
expect to leave Southern Pines

before going into the dry cleaning
business he was with the E. C.

“It has been pleasant living in
Southern Pines,” he said this
week, “and we regret leaving, but
we hope to return as often as we
can.”
