(usaf Photo) In « 59-year-old Negro, Golden Uuffey, became Moore County’s 11th highway fatality of the year when his car was struck by a truck seven miles east of Carth age Sunday afternoon. I Evidence Showed that Cuffey who was apparently killed in- Istantly, was in the wrong lane I when the tractor part of a hugh tractor-traUer truck struck his car and spun it completely around in the road. I investigating State Highway Patrolmen, Cuffey who lived in West End but work ed for Carolina Power & Light Company in Kinston, was headed toward Sanford when the acci- dent occurred on a straight stretch of Highway 15-501 near the Lee County line. Two men in the truck were in ured and taken to Lee County Hospital, according to the officers. After the collision, the tractor went down an embankment, came back up on the road and turned over about 100 yards away in a field. Coroner Ralph Steed was out of town at the time of the acci- dent. R. G. Fry, acting coroner, said he was withholding his in vestigation for a few days until he could get more reports from sev eral witnesses. Investigating the accident were Cpl. Jim McColman and Patrol- H. A. Hight of Moore County, and Patrolmen Brown and Cum mings from Lee County.

Norris, ace pitcher for the Airmen, was clearly the out standing man on the field as he limited the opponents to two hits of them a double to center- held by Irie Leonard in the bot tom of the fourth inning which scored Joe Garzik for the lone run. The Airmen and the church team play tonight (Thursday) at Memorial field for the champion ship. Game time is 7:30 and of ficials have suggested fans get to the field early since seating for the rubber game of the series will probably be at a premium. Coming into the fourth inning Monday night the game was scoreless. But in that inning the Airmen exploded for five runs, all of them coming after two men were out. 5 Here s the way the inning went: Carl Layel walked; Joe Riddle popped to Irie Leonard at third- Wilbur Hosman sacrificed Lavel to second; Joe Valentine waited out several pitches and finally connected for what should have been an easy infield out, but a wild throw-t-a first moved him to second and Layel to third. Earl Brown, on an even count , of one ball and one strike, lashed out a long double to right field scoring Lavel and Valentine. Norris then hit through first base, just barely fair, scoring Brown; On a bad throw into third to try and trap Brown, Norris scored. Joe Storv stretched what should haye been a single into a double, took third on a wild nitch and came home on .Tim Kurlev’s double to left field. Bill Mclntire filed to first base to end the in ning, with five runs scored + The Church of Wide Fellow ship scored its one run in the same inning. In the top of the fifth the Air men scored again on a homerun by Riddle to right center field With none aboard. * In the sixth Story singled, fol lowed by a sharp grounder to second base hit by Kurley that was difficult to field. All hands were safe. Mclntire hit through the sec ond base slot, scoring Story and then a combination of bad luck and wildness, which haunted the Church team all night, took over again. On the throw in to third base the ball took a bad hop and bounced over Leonard’s head al lowing Kurley to score. Layel filed to second and Rid dle singled to center field to con tinue the hitting spree. A long fly by Hosman, coupled with an er ror, allowed both McIntyre and Riddle to score. Church Wins First In the game last week the Clhurch of Wide Fellowship, be hind the exellent pitching of Hai^ Chatfield and sound base- hitting by almost every member of the team, had piled up a lead going into the final inning. The Airmen tied the score at 8-8 in the top of the seventh. In the ^ttom of the inning Tom Cunningham', first baseman for the Church team, walked to start the inning, and scored on a fielder’s choice by pinch-hitter Jimmy Hobbs. Cunningham beat the throw to the plate to come in with the winning run. Trophies Following the game tonight, a championship trophy, donated by Buster’s Sport Shop, will be pre sented. The runner-up will receive a trophy made available by the Recreation Commission.

In making the appointments, Librarian’s Job I Vacant At AGOS Officials at the US Air Force Air-Ground Operation School here have announced a job open ing for a librarian at the school. Applicants for the job, which pays $4,520 per year on a Civil Service pay scale, must be train ed in Ubrary science and show past experience in actual library work. 'They must also take a reg ular Civic Service examination for the post.

Averell Harriman of New York and! Gov. A. B. Chandler of Kentucky ask ing his support for the nomina- "iion. Gov. Harriman has even sent a record he personally recorded in hopes of swaying the vote to him. Blue said, adding he hasn’t had chance to play it yet. The rec ord, Blue has' learned, was' sent to most of the other North Caro lina delegates, and quite probably to many others in the South. Neither Gilmore nor Blue felt that the convention was a “sure” thing for any candidate, but both gave pre-convention edges to Adlai Stevenson. Gilmore, incidentally, is the al ternate for B. Everett Jordan na tional committeeman for the state, and will not vote unless Jordan becomes ill or otherwise unable to vote. The special convention train will leave Raleigh Friday night travel to Greensboro where other delegates will join it, and arrive T* 12.-30 Saturday. will probably meet the South C^olina delegation in Asheville later and will arrive in Chicago about noon Sunday. Town Council has decided to postpone any action on appoint ing a special committee to study privilege licenses in the town un fit studies currently being made by the League of Municipalities and the Institute of Government are made available. Council took the “wait and see” attitude at its regular monthly meeting at the library Tuesday night. Previously, Mayor Gilmore had been requested by Council to ap point a three-man committee to study the problem of establishing a privilege license set-up for the town following the Manager’s an nual budget message. In that message. Manager Tom Cunningham had pointed out the inadequacy of the set-up as it FOOTBALL Pinehurst Police Conducting Search For Night Prowler Pinehurst police are continuing an investigation today of a mys terious person who broke into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald C. Miller in Pinehurst early Monday •morning. Miss Faye McKenzie, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. l’ McKenzie of Pinehurst, told offi cers sh^ was awakened about 5 o’clock Monday morning to see a man advancing toward her with something in his hand. Police theorized the intruder was carrying a piece of clothes line, which had been cut the pre ceding day and which was miss ing. in the house with Miss McKen zie, who was spending the night with Mrs. Miller’s mother while the Millers were away, were two children . Miss McKenzie’s screams ap parently frightened the intruder away. Her screams awoke Mrs. Peter Tufts who lives nearby and A meeting of aU candidates, in cluding freshmen, for the football te^ at Southern Pines High School will be held at the high school Tuesday night at 7:30, it was announced today by Head Loach Irie Leonard. Coach Leonard said that any others interested in playing foot ball should be at the meeting. A complete schedule for the year has been worked out and will be announced next week Council Handed Request For Two Negro Policemen A renewed request for Negro policemen to patrol West South ern Pipes, particularly at night, was m^de by Councilman T. T. Morse at the reguular monthly meeting of Town Council at the library Tuesday night. The situation in West Southern Pines is becoming “acute,” Morse pointed out, adding that the ad dition of two Negro policemen either on a regular or part-time basis would be of great benefit both to the Negro and white areas of town. Adoption of the yearly budget recently made no provisions for the addition of any new police men, it was pointed out by Man ager Tom Cunningham, who agreed, however, that there was a definite need for additional po lice protection. our 7-man police force is over worked and understaffed. South ern Pines is’ not up to other towns in North Carolina of the same size in police personnel. “Right now, in order to cut the work-day of our present force from a 10-hour day to an 8-hour day’ which is the rule in most (Continued on page 8) currently exists. Tuesday night Council was in formed by Cunningham, that the two state-wide groups are study ing the whole privilege license set-up throughout the state and that there will probably be many changes made after recommenda tions are in. Council decided to await the study and, if feasible use It as a basis for establishing a privilege license set-up here. In other action the Council agreed to give the state 80 feet of property from Bennett Street to the bridge on Pennsylvania Ave. at the new thruway. The state has indicated it will curb and gutter the property and wMen the street in order to give a better approach to the thruway Council was told by Mayor Gil-‘ more that Pennsylvania Ave would probably develop as a principal “lifeline” to the thru way and that something eventu ally would have to be done to im prove it. The new Town Charter, which has been brought up to date and revised by a committee headed by J. Vance Rowe, Jr., was dis cussed. Council decided to allot 30 minutes at both the Septem ber and November meetings for public hearings on the new char- ter. The Pilot will,in the meantime, publish It in weekly installments so that citizens will have ample time to study it. Council also voted to alleviate a parking problem that was caus ed when the new Colonial Store opened last week. Officials at the ABC store had ■suggested that certain parking areas in front of the store be changed from two-hour parking to IS-manute parking. Council voted to designate the three stalls directly in front of the store as 15-minute areas; oth ers on the street will remain the same so as not to interfere with business of other establishments. ^Rb’ore’s suggestion, the Council adopted a motion of thanks to Major Erskine B. Crew and C. L. Dutton for their work ■At present- Cunninghan. said, “Jh " ‘i.’™, to™.» over.

Though the commissioners took no official action,,it is expected that a committee of mayors or other town officials from the va rious parts of the county would be appointed to determine the proper location for the new fire unit. That, at any rate, was what (Continued on Page 8) -j A . VOllCI said the intruder probably enter ed a car there. It was reported that whoever entered the house had cut the tel ephone wires, apparently before entering. Police picked up fingerprints about the house and have sent them to the FBI for possible iden tification. A number of break-ins have been reported in Pinehurst dur ing the past month, but always of houses where the occupants were away. Miss McKenzie told police she was too frightened and every thing happened too quick for her to get any identification of the person. * tower f^hTMoor^S^!!!!? Bov^Estat?'^^®n'^®^'^^ unfinished.
