C Economy, Whitfield Tells Moore WildUfe Club New advances in forestry sci ence are having great impact on this State’s economy, said Fred E. Whitfield, of the Forest Man agement Service of North Caro lina State, speaking to the Moore County Wildlife club Tuesday night. Aniong forestry “firsts” for the State were listed: first in manu facture of wooden furniture, first in production of hardwood ply wood, first in production of all plumber, first to exceed $1 billion annually in total value of its for est products. This was done in 1959, Whitfield said, and the val- Local Precinct Officers Named By Republicans David A- Dfexel was elected Republican chairman for North Southern Pines • Precinct in a meeting helrd Tuesday night at St. Anthony’s School auditorium.

Candidates for county of fices are being lined up, he noted. Carlton L. Cole, Dies Suddenly; Funeral Today ue now is soaring considerably higher. Research has brought much new knowledge of the care and protection of trees, greater effici ency in harvesting and in the to tal use of various woods, Whit field said. The science of - gene tics, first employed to improve the pine forests, is now being used to great advantage in the de velopment of valuable hardwoods. Greater knowledge of the deseas- ■es to which trees are subject, and the insects which cause fatal in fections, has led to new methods of combatting them. The talk was illustrated with colored slides. The speaker was introduced by Howard Butler, club vice-president, who led the meeting for President Ralph Mills, who was ill. Mrs. Cornelia Vann, secretary, announced Mills’ appointment of a nominating committee, ,to report at the March meeting, consisting of General R. B. Hill, chairman, Herbert Cameron, Paul Thomas, Mrs. Albert Tufts and Mrs. Irene Mullinix. Albert Tufts, chairman Of the building committee, reported the walls of the club’s new lodge are up, and “there is enough money in the treasury ,to put the rafters up and get the roof on.” After that^ he said, more money will have to be forthborning or the pay-as-you-go building plan Will perforce come to a. halt. He invited all the members to visit the 10-acre site, with its beautiful lake, on which the unique A-shaped structure is be ing erected. Designed by How ard Butler, who has also provided a good many materials at cost, it is being built under the super vision of Mel Johnson. Neill McKay, chairman of the club’s policy-making committee which has the task of screening fund-raising plans, asked for sug gestions from the members as to how to keep the funds flowing in. He advised that each one get current with the $7-per-year as sessments which have been in ef fect, in addition to the regular dues, for the past three years to boost the building fund. He also noted various money-making pro jects undertaken by individual members to enhance the fund. About $1,200 more is needed to pay for the materials on hand, McKay said. I - 4 ¥ i HEART DRIVE OPENS— Moore County’s Heart Fund drive, extending through February, was launched with a dutch dinner meeting of volunteer workers at Holiday Inn. J.

HUNTER TRIALS (Continued from Page 1) classes and First Season Hunters, Thoroughbred, Non - Thorough- bread, Open Hunters and Hunt Teams. To take part, horses have to be a “qualtied hunter” .— that is, to have finished a minimum of six hunts this season, not necessarily, however, with the Moore County Hounds. Entries for the various events have been coming in daily, of ficials said, from hunts at Char lotte. Raleigh and Sed'gefield, in North Carolina, from Camden and Columbia in South Carolina and from other states. Some horses from areas where weather has prevented the required hunt ing to qualify have been sent here- with the Moore County Hounds to complete the needed number. Judges have been announced as Mrs, Edgar Scott of Villanova, Pa., and Thomas Moore, MFH of a hunt at Ottawa, Canada. DR. FOSTER (Continued from page 1) medical and surgical services to various parts of the world where such needs are not being met. Transportation and , living ex penses only are paid for the physicians invited to take part in the Medico program. When wives of doctors accompany their hus bands, as they frequently do, none of their expenses are paid and they work with their hus band's overseas without compen sation. At the Algiers hospital to which Dr. and Mrs. Foster were assign ed, the team of physicians changes each month, one group arriving as another departs, permitting an uninterrupted program of care for the patients. In another phase of the Medico program, American nurses are sent overseas for longer periods, usually six months to a year, re ceiving both salary and expenses. Dr. Foster received his invita tion to participate in the Algiers assignment through the American Board of Ophthalmology of which he is a diplomate. He and Mrs. Foster left Southern Pines De cember 29, after only three weeks’ notice. In Algiers, the local surgeon saw 50 or 60 patients each mor ning, some of whom had come long distances out of the desert, including persons well on in years who had never seen a doctor in their lives. Some as young as 16 were totally blind from one of the several eye afflictions that are common in the area, but had come to the hospital’s clinic hop ing that they might be helped by the visiting American doctors. Dr. Foster performed two or three eye operations each afternoon and, two days a week, operated all day long, doing five or six operations. A shortage of instru ments and sterilizing procedures limited the number of operations that could be done daily. The acute medical need in Al giers arose about two years ago when the hospital was abandoned by the French, who had formerly staffed it, after the granting of Algerian independence. Supplies for the Medico physi cians — sutures, instruments and drugs — are usually donated to the program by individuals, busi nesses or hospitals in the United States. However, supplies are often slow in arriving, handicap ping the physicians’ work. Dr, Foster had taken some surgical supplies with him, but the large volume of patients treated result ed in a shortage -while he was there. Mrs. Foster assisted in ' the clinic, helped' her husband in “making rounds” each day, help ed with the administrative work, rolled bandages and also assisted another member of the Medico team in visits he made to an Algiers orphanage. She sent back a number of tape recordings, for The Pilot, des cribing the trip overseas and the Fosters’ experiences in Algeria. Receipt of the tapes was delayed, so that the local couple has arri-v- ed back here before their publi cation has been completed. Two articles by Mrs. Foster have appeared previously and a third is elsewhere in today’s Pilot. Dr. and Mrs. Foster have lived in Southern Pines since October, 1960. Their home is on E. Indiana Ave. extension. ers, looked into the future and considered undertaking studies designed' to guide long-range de velopment of the area of the two towns. The group adjourned with no definite commitments made and with intention of querying of ficials of nearby Pinebluff, south of Aberdeen, and the privately controlled Pinehurst, Inc., to see if they would like to join and bear part of the cost of general development studies and also highway and street “thorough fare planning.” Explaining what is involved' in such planning for future develop ment and traffic control were two state officials, William G. Roberts, chief area planner in the Central Area office of the Division of Community Planning, N. C. De partment of Conservation and Development; and Marion R. Poole, Thoroughfare Planning Engineer, Advance Planning De partment, State Highway Com mission. The two studies, though made by separate state agencies, would complement each other, it was pointed out, and would tie to gether, to help guide over-all area planning. The area planning through C & D uses 40 per cent local funds and 60 per cent federal funds. The local participation cost tor the two towns (Aberdeen and Southern Pines) was guartiedly estinaated at about $8,000 for two years. The Highway Commission’s throughfare study is financed by 60 per cent state funds and 40 per cent local funds. A rough estimate of cost was from $3,000 to $5,000. The C & D study would include mapping, population and econo mic analysis, land use analysis, land development plans and sub division and zoning regulations. Elaborate traffic studies are made under the Highway Com mission procedure, with the goal a new method of highway rout ing, in loops and connecting roads and streets, designed to eliminate traffic congestion and serve the public convenience. T. C. Johnston, district highway engineer, sat in on the meeting. Commissioners See New Crest Line Firetruck TRAINING (Continued from Page 1) persons who cannot reasonably be expected^ to obtain appropriate full-time employment without training.” The training programs are in tended particularly to enable un employed persons, primarily heads of families, whose skills have become obsolete, to acquire new skills which are in demand in the labor market. They are also designed, teh ESC manager explained, to permit im proving and upgrading the skills of other workers who need train ing or retraining to be fuUy pro ductive, and to assist youth 16 years of age and over to acquire higher levels of training and ed ucation in order to meet occu pational needs of the labor mar ket. Training, subsistence, and transportation allowances are available under certain circum stances, Scott said. Any person interested in tak ing training under the Manpow er Development and Training Act is urged to contact the Employ ment Security Commission office in Sanford at 219 South Steele St. for particulars. Other courses will be made available in the near future. EARLY YEARS (Continued from Page 1) In the three and a half months allowed her for the task. Miss Shamburger dug into records of the Library of Congress, the Pen tagon and the Post Office De partment, but estimates that 90 pei; cent! of the material in, “Tracks Across the Sky” came directly from the men who had been in volved, 30, 40 and more years ago. Her search for the men she needed to see (there were several cases in which she located and talked to persons who were list ed in Washington as deceased) sent her winging to the West Coast, Louisiana, Michigan, Min nesota and many other places. In recording the recollections and the otherwise unobtainable information of these Air Mail pioneers, she was working, as she puts it, “only just before it is too late.” Some of the persons she wanted to see, of course, were not living—^yet she has done a re markable job of digging up vital information and making it come alive in the conversational and informal tone of her book. To anybody interested in avia tion, “Tracks Across the Sky” is a gold mine of technical and mechanical detail that only an ex perienced pilot, combined v;ith an effective writer, could have presented. For the average read er, the anecdotes of courage, mis fortune, failure and triumph arouse new pride and regard for these pioneers in a service now accepted complacently. Coming up from Miss Sham- burger’s typewriter are: a book on Jacqueline Cochrane and the WASP program in World War II, which she has been asked to do by the Air Force; and another volume on the development of instrument flying. She is also busy with articles on Air Mail and on Jacqueline Cochrane for the American Aviation Historical Society’s Journal. Miss Shamburger is chairman of the Carolinas Chapter of “The 99’s”—the International Organ ization of Licensed Women Pilots —and belongs to a dozen or more of the nation’s leading organiza tions in the aviation field, mem bership in most of which is by in vitation. She attended Aberdeen schools, St. Mary’s School and Junior Col lege in Raleigh and is a 1947 grad uate of Marjorie Webster College, Washington, D. C. She did radio and newspaper work here (for WEEB in 1948), in Washington and in and around New York City, and was an editor of “Amer ican Aviation” magazine in the early I950’s. She took her flying lessons from Harold Bachman, still a res ident of Southern Pines and ac tive in aviation, at the old airport near “Skyline” on No. 1 highway north. She is the daughter of F. D. Shamburger, and the late Mrs. Shamburger, of Aberdeen, and the sister of J. P. (Chris) Sham burger of Southern Pines. The county commissioners coasted through a light day Mon day in their February meeting at the courthouse in Carthage. They didn’t have to contend with any delegations. They heard reports from various county agency heads in the morning (in cluding a letter of resignation from (irarland McCullen; assistant agricultural agent who is leaving the Extension Service to enter private business at Richmond, Va.); they went to nOon dinner at the home of Hardy Barber, the county dog warden, a meal pre pared by Mrs.' Barber; and on their way back ■ to the afternoon session (which didn’t last very long) they inspected the brand- new home-made fire truck of the Crest Line Rural Fire Department which operates In the Highway 211 area, east of Aberdeen. : Proudly parking the fire truck —which they largely built them selves—near the courthouse were Chief B. E. Maxwell and Assist ant Chief Curtis Baker. They wanted the commissioners to see what they had done with a county grant of “up to $1,600,” , of which they had used more than $900, along with money raised in their community whicb has also built a building to house the vehicle. Starting with a 1955 chassis that once was a Coca Cola deliv ery truck. Maxwell and Baker lit erally built, piece by piece, a fire truck that has all regulation equipment. 'The big, baffled tank holds 750 gallons of water. The truck is painted bright red with aluminum trim and the depart ment’s name is lettered on the cab doors. With the addition of one more high-pressure reel, the truck will meet requirements that will lower fire insurance rates in the areas it serves, it was stated. The truck job was only com pleted Saturday and it went out on its first mission to a brush fire on Sunday, before its paint was dry. Commissioner W. S. Taylor of Aberdeen was unable to be pres ent for Monday’s meeting. The other four members were there; Chairman L. R. Reynolds, John M. Currie, Tom Monroe and J. M. Pleasants. At the morning session, maps were displayed that showed all the visits made during January by five of the county’s Agricul tural Extension Service person nel—Mrs. Jean Hubard, home economics agent and her assistant, Mrs. Betty Morgan; and Fleet Al len, extension chairman, and his assistants, Bennie Fulcher and Garland McCullen. The map report on calls made by the agents had been requested the previous month by the com missioners. The maps showed that the agents had ranged widely around the coimty in performing their work during January. Mrs. Amelia Capehart, home economics agent for Negro work, who made her monthly report, had not been required to prepare a map of her January visits. Also reporting in the morning was Mrs. Walter B. Cole, welfare director. Cockman Chosen Regional Winner, Poultry Contest D. A. Cockman of the Pleasant Hill Community 4-H Club was named the Southeastern Poultry and Egg Association regional winner at Atlanta, Ga., last week. He will receive a $500 scholcurship to the college of his choice in ad dition to the expense-paid trip to Atlanta and $50. Two months previously Cock man was named National Poul try Winner in Chicago and re ceived a $500 scholarship. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. June Cockman of Robbins. He was accompanied to Atlanta by C. F. Parrish, retired poultry specialist; Dr. W. G. Andrews, Northeastern District agriculture agent, and Garland D. McCullen, Assistant Agriculture Extension agent in Moore County. SUBSCRIBE TO THE PILOT, MOORE COUNTY'S LEADING NEWS WEEKLY.

Academic freedom must be safeguarded just as our Dem ocratic way of life. I have an open mind as to amendments. The 1965 General Assembly with its mem bership fresh from the people, wiu certainly be within its res ponsibility to give close review to the practical effects of the law, and to take such action as it deems wise and proper after studying the application for al most two years.” Speaking of the program to pro vide schooling for educable and the trainable mentally retarded children.
