Board To Decide
Lace Plant Loan
Robert S. Ewing of Southern
Pines, president of the Southern
Pines Development Corporation—
the group that is conducting ne
gotiations for the establishment
here of a plant of Mozur Laces,
Inc.—said this week that he is
confident the negotiations wiU
soon end successfully, permitting
work to begin at the site on No.
1 Highway parkway, north of
Midland Road.
'Pending a meeting of the board
of directors of the North Carolina
Development Corporation on Feb
ruary 3, no definite statement can
be made about the future of the
project.
The board will decide at that
meeting whether the assurance of
a $150,000 loan to the Southern
Pines Development Corporation,
to help construct the lace plant
building, can be transferred from
the local corporation to the Mozur
interests who now plan to, erect
the building.
Residents of this area have
pledged about $186,000 to go into
the building cost, the bonds to
pay six per cent interest to in
vestors, under present plans.

Wednesday afternoon in a private
ceremony conducted by the Rev.
Martin Caldwell, rector of Em
manuel Episcopal Church, and at
tended by a few relatives and
friends of Miss Kelsey who died
in 1956.
The room is designed for hospi
tal visitors as a quiet place where
they can talk to doctors or min
isters or retire in times of anxiety
or sorrow. Pictured above as it
looked at the time of dedication,
the room weis formerly a record
room. In addition to comfortable
furnishings, it contains an altar
table with a Bible and prayer
book. For the dedication the
brass vases on.this table were
filled with white carnations. Miss
Kelsey’s favorite flower.
Brochures containing the serv
ice of dedication were given to
each person attending.
The project has been under the
guidance of a committee headed
by Mrs. Audrey Kennedy, work
ing with friends of Miss Kelsey
and members of the hospital’s
Women’s Auxiliary. Other mem

siding, the board of directors met
in the Chamber hall Tuesday
night and made plans for going
fuU-steam ahead on all-out organ
ization and accomplishment in the
year ahead. Nine of the 14 direc
tors were present.
The board’s policy is to have as
many Chamber members as pos
sible serve on committees, and
with this in view, questionnaires
had been sent out, listing the va
rious committees to be set up and
requesting members to give first,
second and third choice as to
wjiere they would prefer to serve.
Response to these was reported as
excellent.
Committees
Committees listed were: Mem
bership, planning (ways and
meas), office, industry, public
relations, town (governmental),
civic relations, advertising (town),
program and special events, con
ventions, sponsoring, budget, bus
iness promotion, and Christmas
decorations.
The questionnaire also called
for an opinion as to whether the
past president should remain on
the board of directors for a year,
to give that body the help of his
experience and advice, and favor
able response was unanimous. E.
Earl Hubbard, xpast president, ac
cepted appointment to the board.
Early in February the Chamber
will meet with school officials, to
complete plans for the State
Class A Basketball Tournament,
and a discussion of this was held.
Committees are to be appointed
at the joint meeting, at which Dr.
A. C. Dawson and Irie Leonard

ment. Present plans are for a
three-night event, with eight top
teams," selected from 60 through
out the State, participating. Louis

en assurance of the town’s coop
eration.
About Signs
A communication from T. G.
Poindexter, Eighth Division high
way engineer, to whom the board
had passed a complaint that there
was a lack of highway signs for
directing motorists, south of
Southern Pines, was read. Mr.
Poindexter informed the board
that he had referred the matter
to the Traffic Department, and
that Chances seemed good for get
ting an attractive sign, or signs,
of an effective type to remedy the
condition.
A second letter of interest* was
from WFMD, Channel 6, in Wil
mington, stating that it was pro
moting several cities in the Caro
lines over station identifications,
such as: “Serving (name of city)
with tops in television.” The
Chamber was invited to take ad
vantage of this public service and
to submit a slogan oil catchy idea.
It was decided to use this desig
nation: “Southern Pines, North
Carolina, the Mid-South Resort.”

membership campaign, in which
opportunity will be given all
members, old and new, also pros
pective members, to get acquaint

The girls’ record for the season
is now five wins and three losses.
The loss for the boys was thfe

charity tosses enabled the'Tigers

Reserve guard John Mason of
the local Yellow jackets stole the

Charles Brower were outstanding
on defense.
The West Southern Pines teanis

Following the suggestion of
many of last season’s patrons, the
Caravan Theatre has changed
performance nights to Friday,
Saturday and Sunday for the
current season, hoping that Sun
day will prove to be a popular
evening at the theatre and an
ideal closing event for weekend
activity.
A company of 14 has been as
sembled for the season, thus
making possible larger cast plays
than last year. Several ^uest ac
tors and directors will appear
with the Caravan Theatre during
the 10-week series. An an
nouncement of the schedule of
plays and the opening of the box
office will be made shortly. Feb
