Page EIGHT Child Escapes Serious Injury as Car Runs Her Down Near Robbins bft- Walbar Calvin Morgan, 49, Robbins, has been cited to Moore fr| i ^ County Recorder’s Court on a Pail I iv . charge of careless and reckless “ iTldllgCl driving after his 1955 Ford ran off the Spies Road, three miles west of Robbins and injured a 10- year-old girl, Gwendolyn Thomas who lived nearby. The accident took place at 7:15 Saturday morn ing, reported Pfc. T. S. Clark, the investigating highway patrolman. The child’s legs were burned by the Morgan car’s hot exhaust pipe and she received body abra sions when the car landed on top of her as she jumped down a bank into a muddy field to escape it. The soft ground probably prevent ed more serious injuries. Passers-by pulled the car off the child and she was treated at the Vanore clinic in Robbins. On Union Church Road In another weekend traffic ac cident, James Wallace Bogan, III of Beaufort, S. C., received intern al injuries when he lost control of his 1956 Ford on a curve in the Union Church Road, five miles e^t of Carthage and the automo bile left the road and overturned. Highway Patrol Cpl. J. A. Mc- Colman, who investigated, said . that Bogan was taken to Moore : Memorial Hospital for treatment. Bogan was traveling west and ov- ; erturned off the left side of the - road. Reports of the Saturday acci dents involving young people re turning from basketball games at Robbins appear elsewhere in to day’s Pilot.

Two were granted ^ scholarships last year to High Point School for Nursing, bring- i ing to five the number now in • training, thanks to SVA scholar ships. , The fund campaign started early ^ this month. With contributions received have come many letters : of commendation for the project. One this week, from Dr. Alice ; Presbrey of New York City, for- ■ merly of Pinehurst, reads: “Please find enclosed my check for nursing scholarships sponsored by the SVA, because I am so strongly in favor of the project. Have known the Sandhills since 1901. (My father did a great deal of development work in the early days of Pinehurst.) And because at 72 years I have had nurses of many varieties due to a worn heart.

North Carolina, he added, is singulatly blessed among states in her quantity of available water, and the Sandhills region is probably the most blessed in this regard of any part of the State. He urged his audience, mem bers of the Sandhills Kiwanip club at their weekly luncheon meeting, to throw all their weight on the side of “saving the water and keeping it pure and clean.” He cited Drowning Creek in lower Moore County as “the only stream flowing beneath the Sea board main line which remains unpolluted and not yet under some form of control.” With 25 federal agencies and the most powerful single force in keeping the water flowing and pure. For not only, said Mr. Ross, does every man have his own water rights to consider but. of “the next ipan downstream” and all the farms and towns on the way to the ocean. The local health department has the authority to cut off the water of anyone abus ing it, and even to shut down an industrial plant if it fails to ob serve proper practices. Mr. Ross paid tribute to the present director of the Depart ment of Conservation and Devel opment, W. P. Saunders, also a Moore County citizen and fellow Kiwanian, as the man who is probably “making the greatest single contribution today to the development of this State and section”; also to Voit Gilmore and Richard Tufts who, as members of the C&D board, have “attracted much attention to the Sandhills and its great tourist potential.” Mr. Ross was introduced by Tom R. Howerton as program chairman. Presiding was Dr. C.

The Arkansas Travelers basket ball team, under the leadership of the nation’s premier woman performer — All-American Hazel Walker—will be on display when the all-girl touring Travelers meet the Little Nine, local semi- pro team, at the school gym here Friday night, March 4, at 8 o’clock, playing men’s rules with no favors asked. The Hazel Walker combine rates as the No. 1 women’s bas ketball team in the world today. Proof of that claim is the amaz ing record the team has compiled against men’s teams only in past years. \ The club thrives on expert bas ketball but mixes enough shenan igans and trickery to round out an entertaining night on the boards. Hazel Walker personally puts on a free-throw exhibition during halLtime, challenging all comers—man or woman—shoot ing from a standing, kneeling and sitting position. The event is being sponsored by the Southern Pines Jaycess, for benefit of their civic projects.

Expected to play with High Point are Lefty Davis (Wake For est), Cliff Dwyer (State), Vic Mol- odet (State), Tommy Kearns (Carolina), arid Olin Broadway (Wake Forest).

Over the years, Mr. Morell did much volunteer work for the Town of Southern Pinss and was always interested in beautifying the town. He helped supervise |tne planting that screens the rail road tracks. With the late Alfred Yeomans, he mapped out a tr.°e- planting scheme for the entire town, but the plan was never adopted and followed. He co operated frequently with the Southern Pines Garden Club in Its public service projects, such as planting around the new high school building a few years ago. _ He was recognized, through all tnese activities—public and pri vate—as being responsible for much of the beauty and charm for which the Sandhills section is noted. Mr. Morell also did work in otner towns of this area, outside the Sandhills and had designed some of the-finest gardens in Fay etteville. In January, 1956, Mr. Morell became associated for about a year with Clarendon Gardens at Pinehurst as a consultant. An au thority on hollies, he had been consulted in the establishment and development of the Holly which contains nearly 300 varie ties and sp.ecies of hollies.
