MEMORIAL CEREMONY— Mrs. George C.
Marshall, widow of the late U. S. chief of staff,
secretary of defense and secretary of state,
stands at the Marshall Park monument in Pine-
hurst Sunday as Leslie R. Brady, commander of
of the North Carolina Department of the Ameri
can Legion, places a wreath, an annual event
conducted as closely as possible to the annivers
ary of General Marshall’s birthday, January
31. Mr. Brady was speaker for the ceremony.
The three members of the National Guard color
guard shown are, left to right, Pfc. Larry Cheek,
SP-4 David Bosworth and Sgt. Bobby Frye. Not
visible are Lt. Fred L. McKenzie, commander
of the color guard, and Pfc. Fred Whitesell.
General and Mrs. Marshall spent much time at
their cottage in Pinehurst for more than 10
years before his death in 1959. Mrs. Marshall
is living this winter at the Hollywood Hotel
here. (Hemmer photo)
Present for the session were
Mayor John S. Ruggles, Mayor
Pro-Tern J. D. Hobbs and Coun-
I oilmen Felton Capel and Morri.s
Johnson. Councilman Fred Pol
lard was unable to attend.
FIRST BABY
Moore County's first baby
cil the new year is Penny
Dale Thomas, daughter of
Mr, and Mrs. Alton Thomas of
Pinebluff, born at 1 a, m.,
Tuesday, January 1, when
1963 was only one hour old,
at St. Joseph of the Pines
Hospital. She weighed eight
pounds, nine ounces.
As the first baby of 1963,
she will receive numerous
gifts from merchants of the
Sandhills area.
Voting on all of the actions was
unanimous. At a previous meet
ing, when the public hearings on
annexation were set, Mayor Pro-
Tern Hobbs had abstained in the
voting, saying he thought that
the Town should collect the full
price of the sewer line to serve
the motels, before they were an
nexed.

3-Race New Point-To-Point Program
To Be Held Here Saturday, Jan. 19
Saturday, January 19, will be
Point-to-Point Race day, sponsor
ed by the Moore County Hounds,
op.3ning Sandhills riding events
for 1963 and featuring several
changes in the program, as com
pared to previous years.
Instead of the former single
race over a long distance, most of
it out of sight of spectators, three
races are scheduled;
1. An Open Point-to-Point race,
starting at 2 p. m. Open to all
horses and to ladies and gentle
men, professionals or amateurs,
this will be run over timber fences
on a two-mile flagged course, in
full view of the spectators.
2. A Junior Race, open to young
people 18 years old or younger,
will be run for approximately two
miles, also visible to spectators.
3. A Hunter’s Pace—the first
such event held here—to be run
over six miles of typical hunting
country, with horses going out in
pairs, two minutes apart and with
only a portion in front of the
spectators. A predetermined ideal
time for the course will be set by
a horse and rider covering the
course the previous day, main
taining a proper hunting pace,
taking requirements of the ter
rain into consideration. The win
ner of the race, then, will be the
rider coming closest to the time
of the previous day’s rider.
No entry fees and no spectator
fees are required for any of the
events. The program will be held
in the area of former races, out
Youngs Road.
GOP Chairman To Be
Elected At Meeting
A new chairinan for the Moore
County Republican Executive
Committee will be elected by the
committee when its meets Tues
day, January 8, at 8 p.m. in the
courthouse at Carthage.
James E. Harrington, Jr., of
Pinehurst, retiring chairman, call
ed the meeting three weeks ago,
after turning in his resignation
from the post, for business and
personal reasons.
The sewer line will cost the
town $19,103 and the Town now
has $16,000 in payment for the
sewer line from the motels—$12,-
000 from the unfinished Holiday
Inn now owned by Byron Nelson
and Associates of Petersburg, Va.,
and $4,000 from the Fairway
Motor Court, it was reported by
Town Manager F. F. Rainey.
The special meeting was set last
Thursday so that all the annexed
properties could be placed on the
town tax rolls for the full calen
dar year starting January 1.
The full area annexed along
with the two motel properties
contains also tracts owned by
Karl Andrews and by Ovur
Saviour Lutheran Church, aU
with frontage on No. 1 highway.
The Andrews land runs back to
adjoin the N. C. Forest Service
fire tower property and the
town-owned Mount Hope Ceme
tery. The latter boundary pro
vides the required link with an
existing city limits line.
Other areas annexed were the
property of Mr. and Mrs; Richard
Johnson on S. Ridge St. extension
and the property of Miss Mildred
Hatfield, corner of S. Ridge ex
tension and Morganton Road.
No opposition to any of the an
nexations was expressed at the
Thursday night public hearings.
LIVED 23 YEARS AT FIRE STATION
Kaylors Move After Long Town Service
In the past two weelcs, for the
first time in 23 years, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank H. Kaylor—who have
been mairied since 1919—have
been able to walk down the street
together.
They say it’s a wonderful feel
ing—a new world of freedom—
not to be constantly on duty at
ths lire station, one or the other
of them always ready to answer
the telephone, during the many
years Frank was “resident fire
man” and the couple made their
home at the station.
If a vote had been taken any
time over those 23 years to
name Southern Pines’s most use
ful citizen, Frank Kaylor
would most likely have headed
the list.
Taken for Granted
That is, if anybody had thought
of it. It was taken for granted
he’d be at the fire station on New
Hampshire Ave., looking after
everything there, answering fire
calls, rescue calls, all other kinds
of emergency calls, training the
firemen and getting the equip
ment out at all times of day or
night. Nobody ever thought a day
would come when he would be
there no longer.
That goes for his wife, Grace,
too, for usually it was hM: voice
answering the phone, which rang
were always on the job.

John D McConnell of Southern
Pines, who has been serving as a
special Superior Court judge since
last May, was sworn in as resi
dent judge of the 20th judicial
district, third division, in a cere
mony held Wednesday morning in
the Governor’s office at Raleigh.
Governor Sanford several
weeks ago announced his inten
tion of appointing the Southern
Pines man to the post resigned by
Judge F. Don Phillips of Rock
ingham. Judge Phillips’s resigna
tion was effective January 1. ,
Judge McConneU will serve un
til the next election, in 1964,
when he can become a candidate
to fill out the remaining two
years of Judge Phillips’ unexpir
ed term.
His accession to the post will
change the seat of the judicial
district from Richmond to Moore
County with chambers at Carth
age in conjunction with the clerk
of court.
This will make the Moore
County seat headquarters of both
the 20th judicial district and the
13th solicitorial district, since M.
G. Boyette, district solicitor, has
his home and office there.
The judicial district comprises
Moore, Richmond, Anson, Stanly
and Union Counties, and the sol
icitorial district these counties
and also Scotland.
Judge McConnell was sworn in
to the resident post by Associate
Supreme Court Justice Emery V.
Denny. This was one of several
swearings-in which took place at
the Capitol Building and in other
places in the State on Wednesday,
first day of the New Year that
was not a legal holiday.
In a ceremony in the Senate
Chamber at Raleigh, Walter
Brock of Wadesboro was sworn
in as special judge succeeding

Friday, February 1, will mark
the inauguration of Extended
Area telephone service between
Pinehurst and Aberdeen, ac
cording to Joe R. Kimball, dis
trict manager of the United Tel
ephone Company of the Caro-
iinas, Inc.
“At the time the new EAS call
ing area goes into effect, Pine
hurst customers will be able to
dial toll-free approximately 1,200
additional telephones,” Mr. Kim
ball said. Another point of inter
est to Pinehurst customers is the
fact that the new service will not
mean an increase in local service
rates.
The provision of EAS between
the two neighboring communities
has been a joint project of the
Sandhill Telephone Company of
Aberdeen and the United Tele
phone Company of the Carolinas,
Inc., with headquarters in South
ern Pines. Additional equipment
has been installed by both the
companies to make the service
possible.
The February 1 change will
complete the long-planned project
of toll-free telephone service
around the Southern Pines-Aber-
deen-Pinehurst triangle. For
about the past five years. Extend
ed Area Service has been in use
between Southern Pines and
Pinehurst and Southern Pines
and Aberdeen, but the Aberdeen-
Pinehurst service has been defer
red pending installation of more
equipment by both the companies
involved.
