Work done during the p^t 18 months by John Almquist, of Youngs Road, is shown in the ex hibition which will run through February 24. The artist, a 24-year-old sol dier at Fort Bragg, says he hopes to be on hand to talk with vis itors frequently throughout the four-week tenure of the show. “I’ve used many different ap proaches in these pieces of work,” he says, “I hope people will be interested in looking at them. By the same token. I’ll be interested to see what viewers think of the work. “The reaction of the viewer can be very satisfying to an ar tist. Sometimes—naturally — it can be disappointing. But it nev er fails to be stimulating.” Almquist, a native of Keene, New Hampshire, is a 1956 grad uate of Yale, where he majored in art. Re is an instructor in the U. S. Army Special Warfare School at Fort Bragg. He teaches the ar tistic principles and techniques a that can be effectively used in thfc production of leaflets for psychological warfare. The current exhibit includes about 15 paintings, several pen and ink sketches and some ex amples of scratchboard work. The paintings range in ap proach from the realistic to the abstract. One he hopes will be of particular interest is of a to bacco barn painted near South ern Pines last August. Other paintings are taken from sketches he made during 1955 and 1956 vacations in Cuba and ]VIe;xico. Mrs. Alwin Foliey, art direct or of the library gallery, arrang ed the exhibition.

After his discharge from the service this July, he intends to seek a graduate degree in art or art history. Mrs. C. S.

ABC Officers Arrested 180 Persons In ’57 ‘Big Story’ Film, With Local Scenes, To Be Shown Free Here Friday Night A “Big Story” television pro gram for which scenes were film ed in Southern Pines and C^th- age 17 months ago will be given a free showing Friday at 7:30 p. in the Fellowship Hall of m;. well-known TV actress who is the wife of the old-time radio star, Ezra Stone, now a TV director. Mrs. Nicholson, who saw the film last week in a private show-, ing, says the story has been somewhat changed, and greatly cut, but that she considers “the dilemma well presented.” This is her second experience as a re porter to be adapted as a drama for the “Big Story” program. The Moore County ABC officers made 180 arrests and obtained 175 convictions during 1957, accord ing to the annual report of the chief enforcement officer, C. A. McCallum, which was released this week. Total time of sentences meted out to liquor law violators amounted to 12 years and one month, the report states, and fines imposed totaled $6,398.75. Other highlights of the report: Non tax-paid whiskey seiz ed 134 gallons, seven pints; tax- paid whiskey seized and des troyed — 12 and one quarter gallons; five autos seized; five stills captured; 10 gallons of mash destroyed; 32 and a half gallons of home brew destroyed. The report states that one de fendant was awaiting trial, six were acquitted and that ABC of ficers traveled 65,614 miles in the course of their duties. The other ABC officers are W. K. Marks of Aberdeen and W. F. Thrower of Robbins. The Moore Memorial Hospital, through the Executive Commit tee of its Board of Directors, v/ent on record last Friday in favor of utilizing the American Red Cross Regional Blood Bank in Charlotte, to make available all types of blood for use in the institution. The miove would supplant the present system of calling hur riedly for volunteer donors to supply blood for patients. All blood would come from the Charlotte bank, which would be repaid through periodical visits of the Red Cross Bloodmobile to Moore County. Tlie National Red" Cross has turned over to its local chapters throughout the country the re sponsibility for the gathering and distribution of blood. Chapters are given the option of joining in the program. The Moore County Medical Society, County Health Officer Dr. J. W. Willcox, the medical staffs of both Moore Memorial and St. Joseph’s hos pitals, and now the Moore Mem- oi-ial directorate have voted fav orably to urge the Moore County Red Cross Chapter to enlist in the program, thereby cooperating v/ith the regional blood bank in Charlotte At present, when a patient re quires transfusions at either of the hospitals here, calls are sent out to their relatives, friends and others for donation of the re quired type to replace blood tak en from the supply at the hospi tals. All types, however, are not always immediately available. Ail types are available through the Charlotte bank, on short no tice. Also, the regional bank would maintain a supply on hand at Moore Memorial and St. Jo seph’s for emergency use. The advantages of utilizing the cial meeting held last Friday. He told the members the Charlotte bank is operating on a highly ef- ricient basis; that both medical staffs and patients would greatly benefit by the county’s utiliza tion of its service; that there were no transportation problems, and that the cost would be slight and divided between the hospi tals and the Moore County Red Cross chapter. Blood is made available free to hospital patients, though charge is made for administering it. “It is mainly for the benefit of the patients themselves that the medical staff and others are urg ing the local Red Cross to join the program,” Dr. Green said. “While a large percentage of hospital patients requiring transfusions have relatives or friends able and willing to donate their blood, there also are many who do not. And the required type is not always available from these volunteers.” He expressed the hope that lo cal civic clubs and organizations would join in the appeal to the County Red Cross to make the Charlotte blood bank available to Moore County. Garland McPherson, chairman of the Moore County Red Cross Chapter, announced today that he is vitally interested in making blood available J.o all residents of Moore Cdunty through this Red Cross set-up. As an individual, he stressed the fact that he could not bind the Chapter until it had been discuss ed with the entire board of direc tors. This will be done at a meet ing to be held on February 14. Mr. McPherson did point out, however, that the chapter has a long record of interest in blood. The program was offered to the medical profession in 1948 and lems which must be confronted prior to participation in the pro gram. He suggested at that time that it would probably take sev eral months to accomplish the de sires of all groups involved. Said the Red Cross chairman: ‘Blood must be given by human beings and approximately 1250 people would haVe to provide a pint of blood each year to make up this quota.” He pointed up iture of not less than $2,500 per year. “I am more than anxious to see the people of Moore County have Red Cross blood at their disposal,” Mr. McPherson said, “and I pledge the fuU facilities of my office to msh the matter to a conclusion r ' quickly as feasible, if the people of the county will give the blood .and the money to make the pro gram a perpetual success.” O- 'Give the one you love Candy or Beauty" We have both I Culbreth’s Southern Pines Pharmacy facilities of the regional bank j 1954, At that time it was declin- were outlined to the Moore Mem- ] ed because of certain conditions orial Executive Committee by Dr. Philip Green on behalf of the hospital’s medical staff, at a spe- now eliminated.

As we look back over 1957 we can see many fine things we ac complished and our plans and hopes are for a more successful year in 1958. Our club members are always willing to help with anything that helps to promote a better community. Mrs. Sam Boggs and Mrs. A. H. Garrison, Jr., attended the 5th District Rural Health Conference at McCain January 30. This was an informative program. Talks and slides on “How Your Health Department Serves You,” “Acci dent Panel,” “A Safe Start in Life” and “Local Accident Sur vey” were enjoyed, as well as several other reports. We believe that one of the gre.at needs of any community is a good health program. We be lieve in the importance of reli gion in the home. It lays the ■foundation for confident living and provides each member of the family with strength and cour age for the problems of each day. The saying “Today’s Home Builds Tomorrov/’s World” is true and we as homemakers should strive to have a good health program and religious program in our community.—By Mrs. Boggs, publicity chairman.

If live people in a family drink the reconimended amount, of milk—a quart each per day they pay out about $336 a year for milk. Since it costs only around $140 a year to feed a farhily cow producing 2 1-2 gal lons of milk per day, this family would save about $196. Robbins (G) 55, Carthage 40. Robbins (B) 41, Carthage 37.
