The SaiKpipers, a once-thriv
ing and hi(hly popular golfing
organization, will be reorganized
if sufficient nterest is shown, it
was announced this week.
Dr. Boyd Sarnes, who will act
as membershp chairman, and a
group of golftrs at the Southern
Pines Countr' Club, have set a
meeting for Wednesday, Novem
ber 4, at 8 pm., in the club, to
start the reoi^anization ball roll
ing.
Former members of the group
-—which has not been active since
1951—are being notified of the
meeting and other interested
golfers are invited.
Many of the 81 members of the
Southern Pines Summer Golf
Club, which Dr. Starnes was in-
fluenetial in setting up last sum
mer, are expected to join. The
possibility of merging the organi
zations into a year-round golfing
group will be discussed.
Founded in 1927 to promote
golf and social activities at the
Southern Pines Country Club,
the Sandpipers flourished for
many years, holding a tourna
ment and business meeting once
a month, often followed by a buf
fet dinner and entertainment
which included dancing or films
on golf. There were nearly 100
members when the Sandpipers
disbanded eight years ago.
The group played at Southern
Pines Country Club and was
identified with that club until
1947 or 1948 when it began to
stage tournaments at both Mid
Pines and Pine Needles, largely
at the Pine Needles Club.
During the Sandpipers’ thriv
ing years, a championship tourna
ment was held at the end of the
year, with a dinner-dance, as well
as the monthly tournaments.
It is hoped that officers can be
elected and committees set up at
the meeting Wednesday night.
Dr. Stranes said. He said he
planned to show moving pictures
made at the last ^Sandpipers
tournament held at Pine Needles
in 1951.

Nearly 50 new titles in the
juvenile field will be put on the

slogan, “Go Exploring in Books.”
Each child visiting the Library
next week will receive a tag

Several entire classes of ele
mentary school pupils are expect
ed to visit the Library. A special
invitation is extended to all chil
dren and young people to come
to the Library at any time during
the week and to take out a li
brary card if they do not already
have one.
The displays will show different
kinds of book illustrations in
black and white, color and photo
graphy, as seen in a series of
books lent by courtesy of the
Country Bookshop.
A New York publishing com
pany has lent original illustrat
ions in black and white and color
by Harold Berson, Jan Balet and
Decie Merwin. Miss Merwin (Mrs.
Jack Bechdolt) has visited in
Southern Pines and lived here for
some time several years ago. Her
husband, also a writer for young
, people, died during their residence
here.
Twenty-two girls in evening
gowns braved goose-bumpy wea
ther Wednesday night at the
Moore County Fair, as Judy Phil
lips, 17, of Carthage High school,
won the title “Miss Moore Coun
ty High School of 1959.” With
her crown and banner, she was
given $50 for her school and $25
for herself, in the contest pre
sented by the Carthage Jaycees.
First runnerup was Emmaday
Collins and second runnerup was
Wilma Kay Hunsucker of Rob
bins. Miss Collins is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Collins
of Southern Pines, and was one
of two entries from ' Southern
Pines High School.
Cash awards were also made
to the two runners-up and to the
schools they represented.
The new queen, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. T. Roy Phillips of
Carthage, received her crown
from last year’s queen, Ann Ed
wards of Vass-Lakeview High
school, and a congratulatory kiss
from another title-winner, Judi
Klipfel of Asheboro—“Miss North
Carolina.”
Miss Klipfel was a contest
judge, along with Dr. Jim Hulin,
president of the Sanford Chamber
of Commerce, and Hal Tysinger,
Sanford photographer.
Despite nippy weather, a large
crowd gathered before the out
door platform across which the
girls paraded to shouts and
cheers.
There were two entries from
each of 11 high schools in Moore

Although Moore County voters
turned down two of the
State bond proposals—with 1,123
persons voting on Tuesday—■
Southern Pines precinct—with 188
voting—registered approval for
all nine of the issues. Voting
everywhere was very light.
The two rejected by narrow
margins by the county as a whole
were funds for armory construc
tion (529 for, 549 against)" and
historical sites
for, 541 against).
These same issues appeared
likely not to be approved state
wide, with another bond proposal
—for port facilities at Southport
—leading by only a narrow mar
gin Wednesday, as returns con
tinued to come in.
The official state-wide election

November 17.
Moore County returns were all

The Southern Pines Rotary
Club’s annual Halloween Carni
val—a fixture of the local scene
for many years—is expected to
attract hundreds of children to
Memorial Field Saturday night.
Starting time: 7 p. m..
If it doesn’t attract them,
there’s something wrong with the
kids.
There’ll be a prize for every
body, plus free hot dogs, drinks
and other eats.
Can you beat that?
,Come in costume, it’s recom
mended. Thene’ll be four or five
different groups in which cos
tumes will be judged, with a
grand prize to be awarded in each
group.
Everything is being furnished
by the Rotary Club which for
years has been proving that Hal
loween fun doesn’t have to in
volve vandalism and aggravating
mischief.
Whether the kids or the Ro-
tarians have more fun at the car
nival has always been open to
argument. Every man in the club
is assigned some duty at the
event and, usually, most of them
are on the job.
Co-chairmen this year are Ar
thur Rowe and Hollie Sisk. Heads
of three of the main committees
are: E. J. Austin, grounds; Harry
Chatfield and Ralph Mills, food;
and Tom Ruggles and Jim Per-
kinson, judges and pulilicity.
