(Photo by Humphrey) COMPANY LEADER ALSO SPEAKS Dedication of Carpet Plant Draws Large Turnout To Hear Gov. Hodges Dedication of the new A. & M. Karagheusian carpet plant in Aberdeen Saturday attracted approximately 1,000 people who heard Governor Luther Hodges praise the company for its lead ership in the industry and urge greater development of the state as a center for research and in dustrial expansion. Governor Hodges, who was in troduced by W. P. Saunders of! of Southern Pines, director of the State Department of Conserva tion and Development, said he “felt a deep sense of pride when a company of Karagheusian’s calibre sees fit to join North Car olina’s industrial family.’’ An earlier speaker, Charles A. Karagheusian, chairman of the Board of Karagheusian, said his company had selected the Aber deen plant. Which was formerly operated by Amerotron Corpora tion, because it' met the specifi cations of the Karagheusian en gineering staff and “because we were deeply impressed by the warm welcome extended to us and the expressions of sincere desire to have us here.” He traced the growth of the company from its origins in 1897 (in Manchester, England) to the present operation of four differ ent plants. “The manufacture of products such as ours,” he said, “requires workers who take pride in their jobs and who are glad to be as sociated with us. We already know from experience that they are ready and willing to contrib ute their share to the growth of our compeuiy and participate in its success.” Governor Hodges, who spiced ■his remarks with numerous jokes which drew laughter from the audience, said the establishment the plant convinced him that “we can create a great North Carolina and a promising future for our children if we will work together in doing what is best for the greatest number of peo ple.” He plugged the recently'' announced Research Triangle of North Carolina as “one of the most exciting and encouraging programs I have had anything to do with;” He added: “As we pioneer in research in the Research Tri angle, we believe we offer an unparalleled opportunity for a company such as Karagheusian to utilize these research facilities which will help you to remain competitive.” Other speakers on the pro gram, held outside in perfect weather, were Mayor E. M. Med- lin of Aberdeen, J. Cecil Beith, plant manager, and Mr. Saun ders. The invocation was givep by the Rev. Jack W. Ewart and the benediction was pronounced (Continued on page 8) ON ABERDEEN FIELD Aberdeen To Meet Gamewell Friday For Western District Championship The undefeated Aberdeen Red Devils meet Gamewell, also un defeated, on the Aberdeen field Friday night to decide the west ern district six-man football championship. Aberdeen, with a 9-0 record, advanced to the district finals by defeating Courtney last Friday night. Coach Hugh Bowman said to day that some Of his players may miss the contest because of ill ness. However, he was hopeful that mainstays David Ruble and Styers Green, who have been on the sick list, ■will turn out. If so, he added, the Red Devils would be hard to cope with. Bowman is counting on Rich ard Styers, Sonny Smith, Larry IJttleton and Jimmy Veasey to do the major part of the offen sive work in the backfield, with “Scooter” Marts calling the plays. He said that several plays heretofore unused this season, may be used if the going gets rough. Coach' Bill Link’s Gamewell team has won 10 this season without a loss. He has a squad numbering 24, three of whom are considered among the best in the six man ranks. The team, which has averaged better than 30 points pej; game in their winning streak, boasts a 185-pound end, Bruce Bryant, likely candidate for the first string six-man all-star team. Others who are outstanding for GaineweU are Jim Kent, left halfback, and Darius, Anderson, quarterback and signal caller. The game, with an 8 o’clock kickoff, has admission prices of 75 cents for adults in advance and $1 at the gate. Student ad missions are 25 cents. Students and members of the Boosters Club are selling the tickets. If Aberdeen wins the western district playoffs, it is likely, some feel, that the state cham pionship will be played on their field. The Red Devils are defend ing state champions. State Archivist To Speak Tuesday W. S. Tarlton of the North Carolina Department of History and Archives, will be principal speaker at the season’s opening meeting of the Moore County Historical Association Tuesday night. Mr. Tarlton will use as his topic, “Long Range Plans for the House in the Horseshoe.” He will also show slides of several other places of historical interest in the state and outline various things that local citizens can do in the field of restoration. Sheriff Charles McDonald, president of the association, will preside at the meeting, which will be held at o’clock in the Southern Pines library. The public is invited. ' 'SO. PINES' OUT "So. Pines," with two ex ceptions, is on the way out so far as the State Highway Commission's signs are con- cemed- The department, in a letter to town officials, has agreed to spell out the name of the town on all small signs along the new Parkway, but said it could not change the large ones at each end of the Park way because of the large ex pense involved in altering supports.

Others have been purchased, Jay cees said, and will be engraved as the entry list grows. The tournament is being played over all three courses in Southern Pines.

Woods of 160 E. Massachusetts Ave„ went sightseeing with his dog this morning. Young David, braving a world fuU of Sputniks, Mutt- niks, and assorted goodness- knows-whats, didn't tell his mother he was leaving. When she missed him about 10:20. she called the Police Depart ment and an immediate search was started. He didn't stay lost long, however. William Wilson, the town's budding inspector, and Roland Norton of the street department, spotted him 20 minutes later en May Street, 10 blocks away from his home. Progress On New MunicipalBuilding Noted By Manager Progress to date on the new municipal building for Southern Pines is “much more than you would normally expect,” Town Manager Louis Scheipers, Jr., told the Town Council Tuesday night. Pointing out that rainy weath er had hampered somewhat the pouring of concrete and grading operatiohs, Scheipers' said never theless the contractors are mo^ving along on schedule and “maybe ahead of schedule.” Already constructed is a long curving wall of the building which wiU form the outside front of the Council chamber. The baise- ment has also been poured and most of the footings for the rest of the building have been com pleted. The flopring for the jail is also -complete and the columns for two outside walls of the Council chamber have been erected.

Letter About Movies Approved imanimously by the members ■was a proposal by the PTA Executive board to write to the Charlotte office of the thea tre chain owning and controlling “the only theatre available to children in Southern Pines,” asking that nothing but strictly wholesome movies be shown at (Continued on Page 8) Two young men, both employ ees of the Federal Bureau of In vestigation, were killed on US Highway 1 about five miles north of Southern Pines Friday night. 'The deaths brought to ten the total for Moore County’s highways this year. State Highway Patrolman Robert R. Samuels, who investi gated, said the car in which the two were riding collided head on with a hearse which was re turning to South Boston, Va., from Waycross, Ga. Two other employees of the FBI were also injured, Samuels said, along with the driver of the hearse. He identified them as Russell Lisky, about 21, and Miss Jidla White, 18. The dead were identified as Lloyd Brooks Full- wood, 19, of Mullins, S. C., and Robert Wayne Gore, about 20, of Front Royal, Va. FuUwood died shortly after the accident and Gore died Saturday morning. Samuels said 'that Gore and Lisky, who is also from Front Royal, were en route to spend the weekend at Fullwood’s home and were, to drop Miss White- off at her home in Hamlet. Joe Jenkins, the driver of the hearse, was removed to St. Jo seph’s Hospital along with Miss White and Lisky. He was returning to Brooks and White Funeral Home in South Boston with a body he had picked up in Georgia. Another driver came and delivered the body to South Boston. SUCCEEDS DONALD CASE Bryan Poe Named To Planning Board; Change In Sign Law Is Contemplated Bryan Poe, owner of Poe’s Ser vice Station on N. W. Broad St., was appointed to the Town Plan ning Board Tuesday night to fill the unexpired term of Donald Case, who resigned recently be cause of ill health. The tprm runs until May 1, 1960. In the absence of Mr. Case, who was the Board’s chairman, Ralph Chandler, Jr., has been serving as acting chairman. A meeting will be called in the next few days to elect a permanent chairman. In other action Tuesday the Council approved Christmas bon uses for its employees, discussed at length proposed improvements to the sewer system, approved payment of $1,200 to Paul M. Van Camp Associates, Inc., for services in drawing up the proposed changes, and granted two beer permits. Signs and their sizes and loca tions have been a matter of much discussion in the past few weeks. The Council approved a resolu tion calling for a public hearing to amend the sign ordinances in Residence District HI. The hear ing would be concerned with al lowing property owners in that area (there are only two—^Mid Pines and Pine Needles Country Club) to erect one larger sign on their property than is now per missible. The effect of any such change in the sign ordinance would have little bearing on other sections of BRYAN pOE pei^missible to erect a sign larger than the 12 square feet now al lowed only on the approval of the building inspector and only if it was set back at least 500 feet from the highway. Mid Pines Club, which has property adjoining the Parkway, had been ordered recently to re- ihove a large sign it had in front of its recently constructed Golfo- tel, because it did not meet the requirements. A drawing of a new sign which the firm would construct was presented to the Council and met with informal approval. The December meeting of the Council will be held at the hew town. The change would make it National Guard Armory.

Christmas Mail Deadline Nears, Postmaster Warns Monday marks the closing of a mailing period for Christmas parcels to members of the Arm ed forces overseas on the surface mail routes. Postmaster Max Rush said today. Dates for airmail padcages are December 1 to December 10, he added, though patrons who mail ed earlier than that would “cer tainly be taking a hea'vy load off us at the post office, particular ly during those last few hectic weeks.” 'The post office department in Washington has said that par cels mailed after November 18 oyer'surface routes could not be guaranteed of delivery, by Christmas. The same holds true of air mail if it is not posted earlier than December 10. Rush said that families and friends of servicemen, or any other relatives overseas, should receive parcels in good condition if they are mailed in containers that -win stand the distance and handling. He recommended box es of wood, metal, solid fiber- board, or strong double-faced corrugated fiberboard. Greeting cards for the Armed Forces overseas should be inail- ed ■with the designated periods, also. Rush said.
