at either of the two hospitals in
this county, the cards will insure
the donor of receiving, free of.
charge, one pint of blood every
six months, either for himself or
members of his immediate fam
ily.
2. Those who do not possess the
credit cards when they receive
blood from the blood bank, will
be expected to secure one donor
for each pint given when the
bloodmobile makes its next visit.
Mrs. Kennedy, reporting on the
initial visit of the bloodmobile,
said that, though the entire quo
ta was not raised either in Aber
deen or Southern Pines, it was
generally agreed that a pretty
good start had been made.

HERE'S HII
Here's hi, with a roll of the
drum for the 45 volunteers
who manned the Red Cross
Blood Bank week before last
here and in Aberdeen.
They were all set and ready
on the dot. they took care o!
everyone with thoughtfulness
and speed, they did a great
job and were ready to do a
greater one, if all the donors
who signed up had showed
up.
As the quota of donors
fills, as surely it will next
time, or the next, the team
that worked so well last time
will be on the job again.
That's the spirit that carries
through in a task that needs
doing: to keep the Moore
County Blood Bank filled for
Moore County's hospitals in
the vital task of saving lives.

Pollock Named
Judge; Brogden
Is Prosecutor
In action described as a “mile
stone” in Southern Pines history,
the Town Council Tuesday night
adopted an ordinance creating a
Municipal Recorder’s Court.
At the same time the Council
appointed R. F. Hoke Pollock as
the Recorder, or judge, and E. O.
Brogden, as prosecuting attorney.
J. Vance Rowe, Jr., was named
the Vice-Recorder, or substitute
judge. All are attorneys and will
serve until the municipal elec
tions next spring.
The court will become effect
ive January 1, with the first term
scheduled for January 7, a Wed
nesday. It will sit each Wednes
day after that and on other days
as needed. Sessions will be held
in the Coimcil Chamber of the
new town building.
The court will have jurisdiction
in Southern Pines and in an area
five miles from the corporate
limits in all directions, except it
will not have jurisdiction over
cases arising within the corpor
ate limits of another town. Its
j:urisdiction would include both
general criminal cases and re-
covejry of penalties imposed by
law or by ordinances of the town.
A schedule of costs was also
adopted, which calls for a mini-
nium of $13.50.
The salary of both the judge [this block that are not presently

“The idea behind the court,”
