Paul Kitchin of Wadesboro in the November 6 election, told a crowd of some 400 persons at Westmoore School in upper Moore Officials Laud Kitchin’s Work Democratic party spokesmen Tuesday night urged re-election of Rep. A. Paul Kitchin as a means to bolster President Kennedy in handling the Cuban crisis. “We are in perilous times, we need to send someone up there to County Friday night that a man'o^^f at the wheel,” said should be judged by his ability . , and integrity, rather than his Democrat, chairman of the House party affiliation. With Moore GOP Chairman James E. Harrington, Jr., of Pine- hurst presiding at the rally, Mr. Jonas was introduced by Wallace O’Neal of Pinehurst, candidate for county commissioner. The speak ing in the school auditorium fol lowed a free chicken stew supper in the cafeteria. It is important to place a candi date above party, the Congress man said. Individuals, not parties, run the government, he asserted, saying he is always a little of fended at appeals to vote a straight party ticket. People who come to him for assistance, he said, don’t come to a political party; they come to a man. Mr. Jonas said he doesn’t think it’s true that the 8th District need have a Democrat in Con gress as the only way to have influence with the party in power. He pointed out that as a member of the House Appropriations Com mittee he was able to postpone placing a proposed government Ways and Means Committee, join ed Ervin and other state Dem ocrats in the plea for Kitchin’s election at an 8th District-wide rally and barbecue supper attend ed by some 1,500 persons in Rockingham.

AT HEARING HELD LAST WEEK Nature Preserve Opposition Melts Though opposition appeared largely to melt at the public hear ing held here last Thursday after noon on the gift of the Boyd woods to the state, a possible im passe developed which remains to be resolved. This was the revelation that, in more than a year of private dis cussions preceding the gift, the matter of continued use of the 400 forested acres by the Moore County Hounds had not been discussed by the Boyd family as donors with the Division of State Parks. Robert Scott, member of the Board of Conservation and De velopment and chairman of its parks committee, who presided, said that the “nature preserve” which was planned would come under the rule of the state parks system by which all its lands are automatically wildlife refuges. Hunting is prohibited and no ex ceptions are made. Yet several of the more than 60 persons present spoke up to men tion the history of the foxhunt, a major part of Sandhills life, in the “Holly Woods” and to state that they were sure Mrs. James Boyd and her family had no in tention of letting this be changed. Will Stratton, English-born res ident who came here in 1926 and was intimately associated with the Moore County Hunt for many years, noted that it had been started more than 40 years ago by the Boyds, and their large holdings of forest and meadow had always been open to it. He recalled incidents of the hunt associated with the Holly Woods, such as Noel Laing’s schooling of his famed ‘’Trouble maker” there. If in the course of the hunt the fox should lose himself in woods where hounds and hunters could not follow, it would ruin the day, Stratton said. Chairman Scott, noting there had been no reference to the hunt in (discussions previously held, nor in the deed now in the hands of the State agency, said he would definitely speak with Mrs. (Continued on Page 18) Through Churches Local church leaders who have in former years sponsored a Hal loween collection by children for UNICEF—the United Nations Children’s Fund—have decided this year to take contributions through young people’s groups in the churches, rather than under take a door-to-door collection throughout the town. ’The Southern Pines Youth Fe deration, which includes young people’s groups in all the Protes tant churches, has overall super vision of the collection, which will be made Sunday in the churches, with the aid and cooper ation of adult members asked. UNICEF funds provide food supplements and medical aid to vast numbers of children and mothers in areas of the world where these services are not avail able, under supervision of UN personnel.
