and hand-lettered with a Biblical
quotation on friendship.
Father Smith’noted that the

the boy, saying, “Your Honor,
he’s never had a chance. I believe
if some way could be found to

make a good citizen. I’ve talked
with him and I believe there is
good character in him.”

hoped the case could still be
handled as a juvenile matter and
“perhaps we can find some place

Camp Committee
John D. Sullivan exalted ruler
of Southern Pines Elks Lodge
No. 1692, has appointed George
M. Thompson chairman of the
Elks Boys Camp Committee this
year. Others appointed to serve
on this committee are: Walter
Harper, Joe Kimball and Emer
son Humphrey, Southern Pines;
Archie Barnes, Carthage; Jerry
Ashton, Pinehurst; Troy Geer,
Aberdeen; and Carlton Niven,
Raeford.
The boys from Southern Pines
Lodge will go to the Elks Boys
Camp at Hendersonville, June
30 to July 13. The camp is owned
and operated by the Elks Lodges
of North Carolina, located in the
Blue Ridge Mountains.
This is an annual affair for the

tain number of boys to this camp;

sponsor a worthy, deserving boy,
he may contact any member of
the committee.
The largest program of adult

stration.
POLICEMAN
(Continued from Page 1)
any Negro officer working in
West Southern Pines would have
to have transportation and radio
communication equipment.
In his request for the Negro
officer. Councilman Capel said it
would appear that such an officer,
appointed now, could take some
of the work load off regular
members of the force now on
duty. He recalled that the request
for a Negro officer has come up
periodically during his two terms
of office (the past four years) and
that it is a matter of constant in
terest in West Southern Pines.
“I hear this every day,” he
said, “The people are concerned.
This we must do now.”
Councilman Capel said that an
officer is especially needed to
work with young people in West
Southern Pines—a situation he
said would be particularly im
portant as students return to their
homes here from schools and col
leges.
The council, on several occas
ions, has deferred action on a
Negro officer because funds for
such an addition, plus his car
and equipment, were not avail
able. The point has been made
frequently in these discussions
that, if any Negro officer is em
ployed, there should be two of
them—an expense that would
have put the proposal even furth
er out of the town’s financial
reach.
Though Tuesday’s discussion
was cut short by being unofficial
and out of order, the council ap
neared anxious to take the mat
ter up in greater detail at another
meeting.
