THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina

o
Old Friends Read About Dr. Bretsch
Being Honored Here, Send Greetings
Congratulatory messages to Dr..cared about things like that,” he
Albert Bretsch, who was honored is reported to have told one
here last week on the occasion of
his 50th anniversary as a drug
gist, continued pouring in from
several sections of the State this
week.
Most were from old friends
who had either read accounts of
the anniversary party in daily
newspapers or from people who
had received copies of the Pilot
from Mrs. Graham Culbreth, one
of the chief planners of the party.
Earlier this week, for instance.
Dr. Bretsch received notes from
two schoolmates who now live in
Greensboro and who hadn’t seen
him in many years.
Up and down Broad Street,
too, he has been receiving con
gratulations.
“Never knew so many people
friend. “People have been excep
tionally kind. Many of them, have
been telling me of things that
happened to us which I had for
gotten about.”
Incidentally, one of the mes
sages read at the observance last
week, which was held at Jack’s
Grill, was from E. A. Brecht,
Dean of the School of Pharmacy
at Chapel Hill. Mention of it was
accidentally left oUt of last
week’s account in The Pilot.
In it. Dean Brecht congratula
ted Dr. Bretsch on beginning his
51st year as a licensed pharma
cist, and forwarded him a repro
duction of an aerial view of the
University campus when Dr.
Bretsch was a student there in
1908.
Scouts Return From Philmont Ranch;
Have Enough Stories For Lifetime
On the Fourth of July, while
you were sunning yourself at the
lake some Moore District Explor
er Scouts were having a snowball
fight—believe it or not!
They were on top of Clear
Creek Mountain, 12,000 feet up—
the highest mountain peak of
practically a whole range com
prised within the 127,000 acres of
Philmont.
This was just one of a multitude
of adventures which will always
remain a thrilling memory to the
eight Scouts and their advisor,
Dave Drexel, who returned Sun-,
day afternoon from their three-
week trip to Philmont, the Na
tional Explorer Scout camp in
New Mexico, the largest boys’
camp in the world, also consider
ed the most beautiful.
Philmont is a vast ranch com
prising- not only mountains but
lakes, streams, rivers, wild ani
mals and thousands of acres of
natural wilderness, one of the fin
est areas for real exploring left
today in our civilized land.
The goal of every Scout is a trip
to Philmont, and the eight from
Moore who realized this ambition
were Ronald Thompson, of Pine-
bluff; Frank Garcia, Vass; Ralph
Gilliland and Carter Burwell,
Pinehurst; and A1 Butler, Dan
Butler, Bill Woodall and Mac
Long of Southern Pines.
101 From Occoneechee
They were part of the contin
gent of 101 from the entire 12-
district Occoneechee Council,
which made the trip there and
back in three chartered buses,
staying overnight at various mili
tary bases and seeing plenty of
interesting sights along the way.
Heading west, they camped out
thg first night at Smokemont,
Tenn., then were barracks guests
for the next five nights at Fort
Campbell, Ky.; Scott AFB, Belle
ville, Ill.; the U. S. Naval Air Sta
tion at Olathe, Kansas (where
they saw Washington and Kansas
City play baseball); McConnell
AFB, Wichita, Kansas, and at La
Junta, Colo., stayed in the Kiva
of the Kosh^e Indians, a famous
performing troupe who were away
at the time.
At "Cimarroncito"
At noon, June 28, they were
checked in at headquarters at
Philmont and assigned to the
base camp “Cimarroncito.”
The Occoneechee group, desig
nated Expedition 628-G, was brok
en up into its component crews
for the trail, and each crew was
assigned its own ranger.
Philmont has a number of base
camps, where tents and all nec
essary gear are provided the vis
iting Scouts, also plenty of food
from the commissary — fresh
meat, eggs, fruits, bread, etc.,
while at the camp, dehydrated
eind canned foods for the trail.

Sheriff, Deputy
Recovering From
Heart Ailments
Sheriff C. J. McDonald, who
was hospitalized about two weeks
ago with a heart attack, was
joined in Moore Memorial Hos
pital this week by one of his dep
uties, A- F. Deese, who also was
stricken, though it is understood
not severely.
Sheriff McDonald, according
to reports earlier this week, is
rapidly recovering. Deese was
stricken in the courthouse Mon
day and rushed to the hospital.
12-YEAR-OLD

scratches and bruises.
Another youngster, Dennis Sol
omon, 8, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy
Solomon of 330 Sheldon Road,
was also apparently hit by a car
last week but officers have been
unable to identify the driver.
Young Solomon was found ly
ing in a ditch on Young’s Road in
front of M. B. Kellis’ home by
Mr. Kellis. He told police he had
heard moans coming from the
ditch and saw the youngster lift
ing his head.
At first the boy said he had
fallen into the ditch. Later, po
lice said, he said he had been hit
by a car.
Close investigation of the area
has not produced any marks
which would indicate a car tried
to slow down, nor has any broken
glass or other evidence been pro
duced.
E. G. Shomaker of the State
Highway Patrol has been work
ing on the incident trying to turn
up leads, assisted by the' South
ern Pines police force.
The youngster was hospital
ized at St. Joseph’s Hospital with
head injuries. He is expected to
be there about two weeks more.
Swine make more rapid gains
in proportion to live weight than
other farm livestock and they
produce young when less mature.
49th STATE
A red, while and blue issue
of the "Anchorage, Alaska,
Daily News," describing the
celebration touched off when
Alaska was admitted to the
Union as the 49th state, has
reached the office.
It came to Mrs. Bessie Cam
eron Smith, society editor,
from Preston Meilthews, a for
mer resident of Southern
Pines and now foreman of the
composing room of the news
paper.
The paper, headlined "Stcde-
hood Sets Off Huge Alaska
Jubilee," is overprinted with
a huge red American flag,
with 49 stars. The headline
was printed with blue ink.
More than 40,000 copies of
the paper were sold. Its edi
tors described the issue as
"something destined to be
come a collector's item" and
well it might: there are stories
from Washington describing
the official action taken to ad
mit Alaska to statehood, emd
stories about the local reac
tion to the admission.
Matthews, who worked for
newspapers in the county, in
cluding this one, before going
to Alaska, was here about a
year ago predicting the state
hood.

CHAMBER
(Continued from page 1)
The Chamber voted itself tem
porarily out of existence two
weeks ago. At that time the move
was considered as the “only wise
and business-like move to make”
in the face of a continuing lack
of interest. Dozens of prospective
members had not joined the
Chamber, it was pointed out, and
some others who had joined had
not actively supported its work.
“Apathy” was the word most
often used at the meeting when
the suspension vote was taken.
