C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1957 TWENTY-EIGHT PAGES PRICE 10 CENTS \\- ■s Young Democrats, C&D Meeting Here SENATOR SAM ERVIN Jmif^ REP, HAROLD COOLEY Blue Knights And Shallotte To Meet Tomorrow Night Southern Pines and Shallotte, both still winless in the Cape Pear football conference, meet on the local field tomorrow (Fri day) night and, for the first time this season, the Blue Knights are subtly favored. Last week the Blue Knights dropped their fourth game of the .season, losing to Red Springs 13- 0. The game was closer than the score indicates, however, .as the Blue Knights scored in the first quarter only to have it called back because of illegal motion in the line. Coach Irie Leonard, comment ing oii the game, said the called back touchdown was a psychol ogical factor in the Knights’ loss. “Had the touchdown count ed, we surely would have play ed a better game,’’ he said. “Even so, the boys are continuing to show a great deal of improve ment each week and, more than ever, I’m sure we’ll have a win ning team before the season is over.’’ Leonard reported that two of hi® first stringers, back Robert Woodruff and guard Jimmy Caldwell, would not see action tomorrow; both are out with in juries. Little is known of Shallotte. Outweighing the Knights in the line and possessing two of the conference’s best pass catchers, they are expected to field- a bet ter offensive team. But the Knights, improving in every game, have a better defensive team than some of the teams they have played and, Leonard feels, have potentially an excel lent offensive attack. The game i”" scheduled for < o’clock. The band and cheer leaders will, as usual, stage a half-time exhibition. SOS Girl , Scout leadership courses still going on; still short of leaders, espeoally Irom Southern Pines. Three Brownie troops ready to go and nobody to lead 'em. Help! SP Women, to the fore- March! (Or call Mrs. G. H. Leon ard or Mrs. Harry FuUenwi- der and sign up). Hodges, Ervin And Cooley Are YDC Speakers Southern Pines has laid out its .best welcome mat for Democrats of all ages, expected today and tomorrow for the 22nd annual convention of the North Carolina Young Democratic Clubs. Headquarters hotel is the Mid Pines Club, with business sessions to be held at Weaver Auditorium downtown. Governor Luther H. Hodges will be the keynote speaker at the first business session Friday after noon, starting at' 2 o’clock. Banquet speakers Friday night will be U. S. Senator Sam J. Er vin, Jr., and House Agriculture Chairman Rep. Harold S. Cooley. Climax of the convention will be the election of officers at the Saturday morning session. While this will wind up the business, the convention wiE continue as a so cial event, featuring an informal Saturday night party for many expected to remain over the week end. General convention chairman is Mrs. Lou Frye of Robbins, presi dent of the Moore County YDC, which is undertaking its biggest job in history as host to the an nual event. Nearly 100 Moore YDC mem bers are members of appointive committees which have made preparations for the convention and wiU carry on till the last guest has departed. Registration opened at 1 pjn. today at the Mid Pines. First day events include a golf tournament on the hotel’s course, a social hour from 6 to 7 p.m., and dinner at 7:30 followed by an executive committee meeting. Registration wiE continue Fri day morning, also the golf tour nament, with the convention be ing called to order by State Pres ident Stephen H. Nimocks of Fay etteville at the first general busi ness session at 2 p.m. It is at this session that Governor Hodges will speak. A hospitality hour and the banquet will follow. Climax of the convention, will be the election of officers at the Saturday morning business ses sion, following the legislative breakfast honoring members of the North Carolina congressional delegation and state government al leaders including members of the Council of State and the Gen eral Assembly. Fun, fellowship and politics will be the order of the three-day ses sion—not necessarily in that or der. The Young Democrats are expected to express themselves seriously and vigorously on party matters in view of the recent growth of the opposition party, and questions on which the party has been divided. “Strength through unity’’ is ex pected to be the theme as they reassert the principles through which the State Democratic party has become solidly established during a tenure of more than half a century. The banquet is expected to be the largest event, as many senior party members are expected to attend from aE over the State, whether or not they can be here for other convention events. Lively campaigns are expected to be waged for state YDC offices, for which two contests have de veloped so far. A race for state president is under way between candidates Bob Davis of Salisbury and Louis Allen of Burlington, while Harry Harrison of Raeford and Ed WiEiamson of Whiteville are competing for national com mitteeman. For ladies accompanying their husbands to the convention, but not desiring to attend the business session, a schedule of separate events has been worked out. These include a tour of the Sand- hEls, and a tea at the Shaw House. Some 200 are expected to be registered by tonight and attend ance may reach 400 or more for the banquet. - Industry Will Be Chief Topic At C&D Meeting The North CaroEna Depart ment of Conservation and Devel opment, meeting here next week for the first time in its history, is expected to give new empha sis to the growing desire being expressed locally for new indus try.

Music Association Announces Series Season’s Concerts Walter Carringer, singer of folksongs and the classics, a “North CaroEna discovery,” will sing here October 25, the opening number of the sesison’s Sandhills Music Association series of con certs. The announcement was made at a meeting of the executive committee and county chairmen of the association, gathering at the Library Wednesday night. With the noted tenor as opener of the series, the season wiE wind to a glowing climax with the re turn here of the famous Rogqr Wagher Chorale. The Chorale, familiar to radio and TV fans, will be recalled for the outstanding concert they gave here three years ago, in which the lilting melodies of folktunes and the high church music of Bach and Haydn vied with closing numbers that included some of the latest musical comedy hits. Between the two “sings” are slated to come an orchestral group and a pianist, with a chamber musjc recital by the Alabama String Quartet, probably to be included. This ensemble played here, too, to a delighted audience that was promised a repeat per formance another season, if pos sible. This year the North CaroEna orchestra’s Little Symphony will play instead of the full sym phony. The smaller group has won wide acclaim and drew an enthusiastic audience when they played here previously. The fourth concert wiE be a young pi anist whose “rave” reviews prom ise great things. Dates set for these offerings are: October 25, Walter Carrin ger, tenor soloist; February 14, Jeaneane Dowis, pianist; March 18, N. C. Little Symphony; April 4, Roger Wagner Chorale. The hoped-for fifth concert would come, it is believed, in Decem ber or January. AE wiE be held in Weaver Auditorium. "Please Buy Tickets Early . . Tickets for the series will go on sale shortly and be handled, as usual, by the Bamum Agency, with Mr. and Mrs. John Ruggles in charge. It is expected that no tices to those who have already signed up for this year wiE be maEed within a few days along with a letter to the general public (Continued on page 8) POSITIVE' APPROACH URGED Chamber Meeting Draws Big Crowd; Community Attitudes Are Stressed Members of the Chamber of Commerce laid bare some of their troubles Tuesday night and de cided—enthusiastieaEy— to take a fresher attitude about business conditions. Theme of the meeting, held at the home of Miss Katherine Wil ey and attended, by more than 50 people, was one of “selling South ern Pines.” The meeting was the outgrowth of one held about two weeks ago that produced, among other things, an admission that things aren’t as bad as they seem. “We’re no doubt hurting some along business lines,” Earl Hub bard, Chamber president, said, “but the feeling that we’re in worse economic condition than we’ve ever been in is simply not true. What we — all merchants and every person in town—need to do is re-evaluate what we have and take a more positive attitude about the reverses we’ve had.” Eugene Stevens, who caused a big hit at the previous meeting when he delivered a hard-hitting criticism of local attitudes, par ticularly among' business people and their employees, said that “as Permits For Brush Buiiiing Required Through June 1 Travis Wicker, Moore County forest ranger, aimounced this v/eek that permits for brush burning would be required from this week through next June 1. During the period, he said, it i? urEawful to start a fire out-of- doors more than 100 feet from an occupied dwelling between mid night and 4 p. m. without ob taining a permit from either the fire warden or his deputy. There is no charge for the per mits, but anyone who is found guilty of violating the provisions of the act which requires such permits 'wEl be fined $50 or im prisoned not more than 30 days. Burning permits may be ob tained from the Southern Pines tire tower, John Goldsmith or David Drexel in Southern Pines, George Veno in Pinehurst, Keith’s Hardware in Vass, L. B. McKeithen in Cameron, or Clyde Auman in West End. long as we keep griping, we’re not going to get anywhere. We need business in this town but it would be pointless to get it here if we don’t take care of it.” He added that in the past 20 years thie town has added facili- (Continued on Page 8) Scout Fund Drive Begins Tuesday In Moore District Final plans have been comple- pleted for the annual Boy Scout fund drive in Moore County, scheduled to begin with “early bird" breakfasts early next Tuesday, according to W.
