Nicholson photo) Malcolm Clark Is Triple Winner In Net Tournament Malcolm Clark, who in 1960 be came the first Southern Pines native ever to win the Sandhill Cup, on Sunday scored another first when he made a clean sweep of all the men’s championships in the Sandhill Invitational Tennis Tournament here. In men’s singles finals, the 29- year-old Clark played a superb* game to defeat Whit Cobb, 33, of Durham, in straight sets, 6-4, 6-0, 6-4. The big silver Sandhill Cup is the trophy in this event. Clark and Cobb teamed to win the men’s doubles over the well- known Chapel Hill team of H. S. McGinty, 63, and A. M. (Mel) Jordan, Jr., 45. Despite their vint age years, McGinty and Jordan are known as “iron men” of the tennis world. They were defeated, 6-1, 6-0, 6-3. In mixed doubles, Clark and Joanne Cooper of Charlotte de feated Don Calvert of Jackson ville, Ala., and Gloria Payne of Macon, Ga., 6-3, 6-4. Clark, playing his best tennis in years this summer and fresh from triumphs in the East Carolina Closed at Raleigh the week be fore, was topseeded, or his team topseeded, in each event. His most spectacular match, drawing a large gallery, was that against Cobb, a fine player and former state champion, ranked 27th in the South. Sunday’s finals saw only one upset, in which Miss Cooper, top- seeded in women’s singles, bowed to Miss Payne—a reversal of their 1961 finals match. Miss Cooper, a Junior Sandhill champion for three years, runner-up in the Sandhill in 1960 and winner last year, took one set but then could not withstand Miss Payne’s ag gressive play. The score— 6-8, 6- 2, 6-3. The brunette Miss Cooper and blonde Miss Payne made an effec tive team in women’s doubles, against which the Southern Pines team of Sara Hodgkins and Pat Van Camp failed to score a single point. The visitors won the championship, 6-0, 6-0. Trophies were awarded by Ray (Continued on Page 8) Murder Trial Not Yet Settled In Superior Court Trial of Frank Young Yow for second degree murder in the knife slaying of June Sullivan at his home near Carthage the night of June 11 had not yet started in Moore County Superior Court at Carthage this morning. A true bill was found in the ease Monday by the grand jury. Yesterday Special Judge John D. McConnell of Southern Pines— who is presiding in place of Judge Hubert Olive of Lexington—ap pointed an attorney for Yow who had been without counsel. The attorney was to have conferred with Yow last night. The one-week term of court, for trial of criminal cases, opened Monday. Of 21 cases considered by the grand jury, 19 true bills were found and two not true bills. One of tha not true bills was in the case of Robert Lee Davis, Fort Bragg soldier who is a for mer resident of Southern Pines and was charged by a local young woman, who has since been mar ried, with assault with intent to commit rape. This means that Davis will not have to stand trial on the charge. Also freed by a no-true-bill rul ing was Jerry Odis Martin, charg ed with careless and reckless driving. Arson Case In addition to the wilful burn ing of Quincy Williams’ barn, with which he was charged. Juni or Jordan, 19-y.sar-old Robbins youth, had admitted setting a number of other fires in the Rob bins area, two deputy sheriffs tes tified at Jordan’s trial Wednesday. Jordan, pleading not guilty, took the stand to deny having burned the barn or starting any of the other fires, also to have ever told Deputies I. D. Marley and June Cockman that he did. Marley testified that Jordan, questioned after the barn burned with all its contents June 5, ad mitted setting the fire and fires which burned an uncle’s home, the inside of a room at his own home and several woods fires, in cluding one which spread over It SOUTHERN PINES, N.

Anoth er burned a woodland adjacent to the Robbins cemetery. Cockman, called to the stand by Solicitor M. G. Boyette during rebuttal, after the defense rested, corroborated Marley’s testimony and added that they had taken Jordan to the home of Quincy Williams, great-uncle of the youth, and that he had told Mrs. Williams the same thing. Destroyed with the barn, which was leased to Mack Beck, were 250 bales of hay belonging to Beck, a large quantity of corn, a calf and numerous items of farm machinery. Beck had tried to be a benefac tor to Jordan, a “problem boy” of the Moore Recorder’s Court since he was 16, and had taken him into his home, with permission of the court, after conviction on an as sault charge last May. The arson case was called early by Solicitor Boyette, who offer ed only the two deputies as state’s witnesses. Beck and other wit nesses had been subpoeaned for Thursday. Despite Jordan’s per sistent denials, and his claims of having been at Franklinville hunting a job when the bam burned, the jury brought in a con viction after only eight minutes’ deliberation. Judge McConnell did not im mediately pronounce sentence, stating he wished first to confer with the probation officer. LIGHT IN PARK Local Jaycees have voted to place an “area light” in the town park block, making possible after- dark use of playground equipment there it was announced this week. The Jaycees have purchase of equipment for the park as a continuing project and have al ready installed several play de vices and painted and repaired others. Larry Davis Held In Britt Stabbing Larry Eugene (Bud) Davis of Robbins, sought by officers over the weekend in connection with the stabbing of his brother-in- law, Stephen Britt of Route 1, Eagle Springs, gave himself up Tuesday night and was placed in Moore County jail at Carthage, with bond set at $2,000. Britt, 27, is in serious condition, but reported recovering, at Moore Memorial Hospital, with a stab wound that opened up his chest and came within a quarter-inch of his heart. Story About Office Not Moving Here Called Unofficial Two local members of the board of directors of the North Carolina Society for Crippled Children said this week they knew nothing of a reported agree ment by directors that moving headquarters of the Society from Chapel Hill to Southern Pines at this time would be unwise, or of a possibility that the headquarters would remain permanently in Chapel Hill. Such a report, attributed to Al- bin Pikutis of Chapel Hill, execu tive director of the Society, was featured as the leading news story in the Chapel Hill Weekly last week. Mrs. Graham Culbreth and W. P. Davis, the two Southern Pines members of the board of direc tors, did not attend the meeting of the directors Sunday, Aug. 5, to which Mr. Pikutis referred, as quoted in the weekly story. Mr. Davis is the donor of a tract on the east side of No. 1 highway parkway, south of the Midland Road intersection, where, by vote of the directors several months ago, the Society is to erect a state headquarters building. The con tract provides that the Society will have until the end of 1963 to finish the building. Pikutis told the Chapel Hill Weekly that no formal action was taken by the board but after dis cussion of the matter of the loca tion of the headquarers, the “gen eral feeling” had been “it would be better not to do anything” about moving at this time. However, the newspaper head lined the story “Crippled Chil dren Society’s Offices To Remain Here.” Mr. Davis said he had been in formed that a quorum of the di rectors had not been present at the meeting at which the “discus sion” had taken place. Both the local directors said they regretted the Chapel Hill Weekly report and assured per sons in this area who may have seen it that there has been no official action by the board that would shelve the plan to move the headquarters here. TOBACCO MARKETS OPEN AUGUST 27 The Middle Belt tobacco markets at Aberdeen and Car thage, with other markets of the belt, will open Monday, August 27, it was decided at a meeting of warehouse as sociation officials in Raleigh Saturday.

Tourney Entry Deadline Passes Yesterday at 5 p.m. was the deadline for National Amateur goH championship entries to be in the United States Golf Associa tion office in New York. Well over 100 North Carolina entries are expected in the tournament sche duled at Pinehurst September 17- 22. Qualifying for Tar Heel entrants will take place September 4 and 5 at two Charlotte courses— Myers Park and the Charlotte Country Club, with 18 holes play ed on each course. About 15 players are expected to qualify there to play at Pinehurst where the field will be limited to 200. Many of the nation’s top ama teur golfers, with thousands of spectators, are expected in the Sandhills for the tournament. 3 Law Graduates From County Pass State Board Exams Three 1962 law school grad uates from Moore County were among the 81 persons who passed last week’s examination of the State Board of Law Examiners, qualifying them for a license to practice law. Of 163 persons who took this year’s examination, 81 passed and 82 failed—a result that hsis stirred considerable controversy in the state from various sources since it was announced Tuesday. Moore residents passing were: Vance A. Derby of Southern Pines who has lived at Chapel Hill for the past three years while studying at the Law School of the University of North Carolina. He has moved back to Southern Pines with his wife and four children and expects to enter practice here. Reginald S. Hamel, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Hamel of Southern Pines, a graduate of the Law School at Wake Forest College, Winston-Salem. With his wife, he moved this week from Winston- Salem to Raleigh where he will become law clerk to an associate justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, for the next year. Samuel Hawley Poole, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Hawley Poole of West End, also a 1962 graduate of the UNC Law School at Chapel Hill. On September 1, he will be come associated with a law firm at High Point. The extraordinarily high pro portion of failures in the bar examinations brought sharp criti cism of the Board of Law Exami ners from Dean Henry Bremdis of the UNC Law School and others. Dean Brandis called the examinationjs “indefensible and inexcusable.” Funeral Conducted For James E. Jones Kitchin To Speak In Moore Saturday Rep. A. Paul Kitchin,of Wades- boro, 8th District representative in Congress, will speak at 3 p.m. Saturday, dming an open house program at the new Super Feeds, Inc., plant in the Spies communi ty, five miles northwest of Rob bins. A barbecue chicken supper will be served at the location from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. and numerous prizes will be given away. A large number of Sandhills residents gathered at the United Church of Christ Saturday morn ing to pay tribute to James E. (Jimmy) Jones, 20, who was kill ed Thursday morning of last week when the pick-up truck he was driving ran off the old South ern Pines-Pinehurst road hitting a tree, near the entrance to the Watson estate property. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Jones, 325 N. Bennett St. The Rev. Carl Wallace, pastor of the church, officiated. Burial was in Mount Hope Cemetery. The Pilot has heard numerous commendations of young Jones, a 1961 graduate of Southern Pines High School who planned to con tinue his education in college this fall. He had been working with his father, proprietor of the Un derpass Service Station at Pine hurst. Surviving, in addition to his parents, are a sister, Barbara Ann; Annexation of the residential property of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Austin on Morganton Road was approved by the town council Tuesday night and the council set for next month’s meeting (September 11) a public hearing on annexation of the property of six families on S. Ridge St. ex tension. Petitioning for being taken into the city limits are Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Austin, Mr. and Mrs. Gar land McPherson, Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Parks, Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Public, Catholic School Opening Schedules Noted Pubic schools in both East and West Southern Pines will open Tuesday, September 4 at 8:30 a. m., Supt,. Luther A. Adams re minded parents today. To -enter the first grade a stu dent must be six years old on or before midnight, October 16, he pointed out. To enter second grade from a private school, a child must be seven years old on or before December 1. On the first day of school the cafeterias will not operate. Glenn Cox, high school princi pal, announced this week that the East Southern Pines high school office will open Monday for the registration of new students and for any other students who want to discuss their schedules or oth er problems. Catholic Schools Students to enter the town’s two Catholic schools, St. An thony’s in East Southern Pines and Our Lady of Victory in West Southern Pines, can register any day, before 5 p. m., at St. An thony’s Convent on E. Connecti cut Ave., it was announced this week. These two schools will also open, Tuesday, September 4. The same age rule for entering first grade applies as in the pub lic schools. Supt. Adams of the public school system urged parents to have all children given a physical examination, particularly vision and hearing checks, before school opens. All children entering the first grade must show a physician’s certificate of immunization against smallpox, tetanus, diph theria, whooping cough and polio, Mr. Adams pointed out. Excep tion is made only for medical or religious reasons. Shockley, Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Thompson and Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Montz. Town Manager F. F. Rainey explained that these properties are not directly contiguous, but that, through the Stanley Austin property, they either adjoin each other or are linked across a pub lic street which is considered a connecting link under the annex ation law. Under this law, isolated spots of property cannot be an nexed without a link to the exist ing town limits. Rainey said other property owners in the area are consider ing requesting annexation and that still others are away for the summer and may want to come in. They are being notified of what is happening, he said. The council worded the public hearing resolution so that it will apply to those already making the annexation request and to others who may make the request, up to 10 days before the hearing. In another action the council approved granting an off prem ises beer and wine license to Ad elaide Brown at Brown’s Grocery in West Southern Pines. JIMMY JONES and two brothers, L. D. Jones, i and Charles S. Jones, all Southern Pines. Report Ordered By Chief On May Street Accident Mrs. Doris Castro of Aberdeen was injured in a traffic accident taking place between 8 and 8:30 p. m. last Thursday on N. May St. near the Manly Ave. inter section. She was hospitalized from the night of the accident un til yesterday and was treated for pulled ligaments and injured muscles in her neck and a bruised right knee, her husband, D. G. Castro, said last night. Mrs. Castro is now at home. Mr. Castro said that his wife was driving north on May St., go ing to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alton L. Monroe, in Manly, when she ran into the back of a pickup truck which had stopped after it hit a boy riding a bicycle. Visibility in the area was poor, Castro quoted his wife as saying, because the town’s insec ticide fogging machine had ap parently not long before crossed May St. at the Manly Ave. inter section. Castro said he had got ten three estimates of damage to the 1960 Chevrolet Belair his wife was driving and that the lowest was $240. He said he was in Char lotte the night of the accident. His wife was able to drive to the home of her parents and was tak en from there to the hospital, he said. Her neck had to be placed in traction, he said. No report on the accident has been drawn un by the police de- nartment, and no charges were brought, but Police Chief Earl (Continued on Page 8) Paint-Spraying Crew Sought For Bilking Old Man The Moore County sheriff’s de partment is looking for a paint spraying crew who on Wednesday bilked an aged man of the Mur- dockville community, near Pine hurst, out of $1,020 of his life’s savings. Giles Goins, who lives alone in a small frame house in an isola ted section, told Chief Deputy H. H. Grimm that the crew of three men persUhded him to let them spray his roof with aluminum paint. It wouldn’t cost much, they said, as they “had some paint left over from another job they want ed to use up.” They finished in about half an hour, told him it would be $280, and when he argued, insisted that he pay them. Finally he went into his house, and, out of his small store of $20 bills, started counting out the money. One of the two men who had followed him into the house took the bills as he counted them out and handed them to the other man, continu ing to insist that Goins count out some more. When finally they left, the old man found he was short $1,020. The men were traveling, Goins said in a light grey or white Ford or Chevrolet pickup, spattered with aluminum paint and loaded with ladders and other equipment. The m..en were described as fol lows: two white, one of them tall, slim and probably in his 30’s, the other shorter, red-faced and somewhat younger; and one Ne gro, “solid black” and medium sized, all wearing work clothes. The sheriff’s department issued a warning, also asking to be noti fied by anyone who sees the crew, as charges await them here. Fayetteville Firm Leases Building The Glenn Newberry Co. of Fayetteville has leased the S. W. Broad St. Building formerly oc cupied by the United Telephone Company from Mr. and Mrs. John Parrish and will open a plumbing, heating and Westing- house appliance sales and service business there, it was announced this week.
