VOL. 42—NO. 35 TWENTY PAGES SOUTHERN PINES, N. C., THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1962 TWENTY PAGES PRICE: 10 CENTS First Round Matches Being Played in County Golf Tourney; Pairings Listed By CHAHLES ROSE Bill Woodward, defending Moore County Champion, and Peter Tufts, medalist, lead the play into the first round of this year’s Moore County classic be ing held over the No. 2 coxirse at the Pinehurst Country Club. Woodward, of Robbins, did not have to qualify for this year’s event. He defeated Harry Chat- field of Southern Pines for the title at the Southern Pines Coun try Club last year. Peter Tufts shot nines of 35- 36-71 over the short, but treach erous par 36-35-71 No. 3 course.

In the First Flight, Leighton Ford defeated Raymond North, l-uo in the Second Flight, Frank Wells took a 3-1 victory from Cecil Beith, and two matches were set tled early in the week in the Fourth Flight: Tommy Currie mastered H. D. Stewart, 6-3, and Old Vehicles to Be Featured in Event at Robbins The fifth annual Robbins Farm ers Day, unique on the State’s cal endar of community events, will be observed Saturday, August 4— bigger, better, moer enjoyable than ever “and we really mean that,” its leaders said this week. What makes the affair special among Tar Heel celebrations is the parade of animals and old or otherwise unusual wheeled rigs— not a gas-powered vehicle in the lot. Headed by Curtis Hussey, wagon master, the parade brings out everything from covered wagons to surreys with fringe on top, also high-stepping horses and other interesting mounts with gay decorations. 'The parade and also the crowds have grown each year, and this year some 150 entries are expect ed, with visitors expected to number 10,000 to 12,000 or more. After the parade, which starts at 10 a. m., volunteer horseman ship exhibits and commuiiity en tertainment are held, with the town extending hospitality for as long as the visitors care to linger. It’s an old-fashioned get-togeth er of town folk and their farmer friends, with fun for all members of the family. Plans for community coopera tion were started at a meeting, of the Robbins Merchants Associa tion Monday night at the town hall. Henry Williams, president, presided, and also present, as a member and representing his or ganization, was Harold Hussey, president of the Robbins Jaycees, Plans were made to pimchase $800 worth of prizes for the par ade entrants this year, which, with a like amount to be donated by the merchants, will mean $1,- 600 worth of prizes, the largest amount in the history of Farmers Day. The Merchants Association (Continued on Page 13) Dave Ginsburg defeated Henry Turner, 2 and 1.

Tufts, tournament chairman, an nounced yesterday that prizes will be awarded consolation win ners in each flight, in addition to the prizes for winners and run ners-up. This year’s event has attracted a field of 96 players, largest ever to play in the county tournament. The procedure is also different, with the flights composing 16 each. Before there were eight in each. 'The losers in the Champion ship Flight will be eliminated after the first round. In years oast, the losers made up the First ' I Flight but it has been changed this year. The trophies are all sterling silver. In the past, they were mounted gold golfers.

Has 25tli Anniversary On July 1 Moore County com pleted a quarter of a century of Public Assistance under the So cial Security program, points out Mrs. Walter B. Cole of Carthage, county public welfare director. Assistance is designed to help the needy who are too old to work, too young to work, and too disabled to work. County departments of public welfare have the respon sibility for administering old age assistance, aid to dependent chil dren, and aid to the permanently and totally disabled, under State supervision. The needy blind are helped by aid to the blind. In May of this year—latest month for which full statistics are aysiilable—391 persons were re ceiving Old Age Assistance, with grants averaging ,$44.63 p^ nKrfhth per person. : *:■ ; ; Miny Get Assistance the same jferiod, 1,03^ cKadren were benefijing from the Aid'to Dependent Children pro gram, receiving an average of $17.19 per month per child. There were 211 cases of aid to the permanently and totally dis abled, receiving monthly grants averaging $48.89. __ Aid to the blind went to 72 persons at a monthly average of $56 per person. Board Members Listed Tracing the history of the pub lic assistance program in Moore County, Mrs. Cole said that the first county director (then called superintendent) was Mrs. Gilliam H. Brown, of Carthage, who held the office from 1937 to 1942. Following are the persons who have served on the three-mem ber Moore County board of wel fare during the past 25 years.

The hearing was au thorized by the board at its July meeting last week. Warrants Charge Pinebluff Mayor, 2 Board Members Mayor E. H. Mills and two town board members, Walter Davenport and Robert Brock, have been served with criminal warrants charging them with “failing to discharge their duties.” The warrants, signed by David Alex Spence and James M. Craven of Pinebluff, specifically accuse each town official of “un lawfully, wiKully failing to dis- chai-ge the duties of his office in a proper manner in violation of GS 114-30, in that he failed to enforce the zoning ordinances of the Town of Pinebluff, N. C., specifically that clause pertain ing to the ordinance No. 81.” The clause prohibits the erec tion of any building in the business district to be used-as a business building and dwelling in combination, or the alteration of any existing structure in the business district to provide dwel ling space in a business building. The town board voted at its regular meeting last Thursday night to rescind this section of the ordinance, and set the date (Continued on Page 8) All Town Departments Staying W’ ithin Budget coached by James E. Pate, and the Cardinals, coached by Joel Stutts —went into this week with the following record for the second half of the season: Braves— won 6, lost 2; Cardinals, won 5, lost 3. And the teams had tied in one game. * Opinion was divided as to whether another game should be played to determine a winner of the game that had been tied. Harry Klabbatz, secretary of the local Little League, put this pro blem by telephone to Charles Craig of Havelock, 4th District National Little League repre sentative. Klabbatz said Craig ruled that the tie game be replayed. This contest took place Wednesday night, with a 1-0 win for the Cardinals. Coach Pate said, how ever, that the game was played under his protest, contending -toat the Braves were already second half winners. The Cardinal win last night gives the two teams each a 6-won, 3-lost record for the second half of the season, assuming that Pate’s protest is not upheld in the future. As the situation stands today, the two teams are scheduled to play another game at 7:30 p.m. Friday, at the Little League park on Morganton road, to determine the championship of the second half of the season.

A financial report showing that all departments of the municipal government operated within their budgets in the fiscal year ending June 30 has received praise from town officials. Town Manager F. F. Rainey presented the report to the coun cil at its regular meeting Tues day night, showing that in the past fiscal year town revenues collected had amounted to $363,- 896.63, against $348,219 budgeted for all departments. Disbursements ran less than the budgeted figure in every de partment, for the entire year. Mayor Pro Tern J. D. Hobbs, presiding at the meeting, pointed out that the report covered the first lull year of operation under Mr. Rainey as manager. “It looks to me that he deserves a pat on the back,” the mayor pro tern said. The councilmen concur red. Mayor John S. Ruggles, who is at Memorial Hospital, Chapel Hill, telephoned The Pilot yesterday, to express his pleasure in the re port which had been sent to him at the hospital. “I’m proud of it,” the mayor said. “This is the first time this has happened in a number of years.” The mayor recalled that prior to the past fiscal year, a deficit amounting to some $15,000 had accumulated in the water de partment, accounting for a recent increase in water rates designed to wipe out the remainder of this deficit by the end of the current fiscal year, and thereafter to pro vide enough income to take care of bonded indebtednes the town by Jerry Hoaly who had notified must soon incur to finance sewer the council that he could not ac- plant improvements required by Appointments to Advisory Boards Made By Council Several appointments to mu nicipal advisory boards and com missions were made by the town council at its meeting Tuesday night.

'The Austin appointment was made effective on the annexation of Mr. Austin’s property to the town, as author ized by the council at a recent special meeting. Four members of the Recrea tion Advisory Board were reap pointed to three-year terms. They are Mrs. J. D. Hobbs, Gene Blackwelder, Frank Buchan and Joe Garzik.

At the request of Mr. Rainey, the council adopted a resolution permitting him to transfer $1,000 from the Street Department to the Recreation Department, to be used to erect a chain link fence around a town-owned tennis court in West Southern Pines. Mr. Rainey told the council that the site of the court had been leveled off about eight months ago and that an asphalt surface had been put on it, due to drain age problems, but that it was not suitable for tennis without a surrounding fence and had been used mostly this summer for bike (Continued on Page 8) BUT MR. TATE IS STILL GOING STRONG Merchant Marks Retirement^ 80th Birthday Robert William Tate, a man who came to Southern Pines for his health in 1919 and hasn’t had a serious illness since, turned 80 years old last week, shortly after retiring as an active partner in the Hardware and Electric Co. on N. E. Broad St. But neither age nor a “retired” status has noticeably slowed the local merchant down. As if to prove the point, he sang a solo Sunday at the 'United Church of Christ where he has been a mem ber for 42 years and in the choir for 40 years. A Pilot reporter caught up with Mr. Tate this week, as he was walking briskly from the Hard ware & Electric Company—in which he retains his post of treasurer in the owning partner ship—to the Southern Pines Savings & Loan Association which he helped to organize in the 1920’s and of which he is now second vice president. Step ping along briskly in 90-degree heat, he wore his customary garb of white shirt, open at the neck with sleeves rolled up, and a battered felt hat. The hat, by the way, covers a good bead of hair thatjjs only partial^i gray. Back atM^e store, the veteran merchant ticked a foui^egged stool on which to sit in the com- ■} R. W. TATE pany’s office—which measures about six by nine feet—giving the reporter the seat of honor at a rolltop desk which was used in the first Hardware and Electric Company where Mr. Tate went to work in 1920, at a location now occupied by the Sunrise Theatre. , Lighting up a Lucky with relish. he was asked if he had smoked all his life, answering with a vigorous, “No, sir. I did not smoke until I was 21 years of age!” In addition to the Luckies, he enjoys a cigar now and then, and admits also, in former years, to having tried the chewing kind of weed. Both Mr. Tate and his wife, who is a few years younger than he is and active though some what afflicted with arthritis, are natives of McDowell County. Mr. Tate grew up on a farm, attended the local schools and had a year at State College before operating a general store from 1908 to 1919 when persistent bronchitis blam ed on the mountain climate of McDowell brought him to South ern Pines. The Tates lived briefly on S. Bennett St. and then moved about 40 years ago to the house they now occupy at 310 N. Page St. After their six children grew up, they fixed three apartments which they now rent, living otherwise Mone, doing all their own work and tending extensive vegetable and flower gardens. “There’s Something blooming in our yard frOm the time of azaleas untii frost comes,” Mr. Tate says proudly. “'That’s where a lot of (Continued on Page 8) state law. The mayor pointed out that the manager’s financial report shows that 1961-62 water department disbursements ($43,376.54) were $5,797.46 less than the budgeted $49,174. But, he said, this is be cause needed work was not done. The increase in water rates, he stressed, is still vitally needed for disposing of the 'Water Depart ment’s past deficit and for doing ^ necessary sewer and water dt; partment work in the future.

Dr. Franklin Delano 'White’s of fice will be located on Barrett St. in the county seat. A native of Chatham County, Dr. White is a graduate of the medical school of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and served his internship at Watts Hospital, Durham. He comes to Carthage after service in the armed forces. Dr. White has joined the asso ciate staff of Moore Memorial Hospital.
