Bloodhounds Out
3 Times As Boy
Escapes Officers
A skinny teen-ager in dirty
jeans, with shaggy uncut black
hair, who was flushed out of the
woods northeast of Carthage af
ter prolonged search by officers
Monday morning, admitted hav-
ing stolen one car at Robbins and
one on the Vass Road, wrecking
one and ditching the other.
The 15-year-old Robbins boy
was the object of an off-again-on-
again search for several hours,
during which he was glimpsed
several times but managed to
give the officers the slip. The
highway prison camp blood
hounds were called out three
times in the course of the search.
State Trooper Tommy Clark of
Robbins said the boy first took a
1964 Chevrolet station wagon
from the yard of Jamie C. Loy,
Robbins insurance agent, some
time early Monday morning, and
drove to Carthage.
There night officer John Mc
Donald saw him driving around

IF HELP GIVEN
Libraries At
Schools Could
Remain Open
Libraries in local schools could
be kept open during the summer,
“if parents will voice their inter
est and organizations will offer
some support,” Supt. James W.
Jenkins said this week.
Use of tax funds is not allowed
for any summer operation of
classes or libraries, the superin
tendent noted, but the “school
system would be glad to have the
libraries open to all interested
students” if persons to operate
them can be provided.
Mr. Jenkins said it has been
suggested that civic organizations
could pool resources to employ
part-time persons to fill this need,
or that volunteer groups could
operate the libraries on a daily
or hourly rotating system.
ATTRACTION— Two boys typical of the many youngsters
who £T»armed over and around military equipment displayed
at the town park in observance of Armed Forces Day Saturday
appeared fascinated by the plastic-covered cockpit of an obser
vation helicopter flown in by the Army. The boys were not
identified. There’s more about Armed Forces Day, and another

I>R. L BEVERLY LAKE
Public Asked To
Meet Dr. Lake At
Aberdeen, Friday
Dr. I. Beverly Lake, the Ra
leigh attorney and former Wake
Forest College law professor who
this -year is making his second
bid for the Democratic nomina
tion for Governor, will make his
first meet-the-public campaign
visit to Moore County Friday
morning.
Russell Bullock of Vass, co
manager for Lake in Moore, this
week invited the public to meet
the candidate at Aberdeen Lake
at 9:30 a. m. Friday. He will be
there for about half an hour,
Bullock said.
Friday’s visit to Aberdeen will
open a day of campaigning that
will also take the candidate to
Anson and Richmond Counties,
concluding with a speech in the
armory at Rockingham at 7:30
p. m. Friday.
Today, Thursday, Dr. Lake is in
Harnett County. He is speaking in
the courthouse at Lillington at
6:30 p. m. and will attend a bar
becue supper in his honor, at 7:30
in Lillington.
Dr. Lake also sought the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor
in 1960, but was defeated by Ter
ry Sanford.
Moore County citizens turned
out some 23,000 strong on Sun
day, to take the last of a series
of three doses of Sabin oral polio
vaccine—almost the same number
as took the second dose.
A make-up clinic is set for
8:30 a. m. to 12:30 p. m., Sat
urday at the Health Center
in Carthage for those who
missed last Sunday's "Feed
ing." It is hoped that another
1,000 will gel their sugar
lump with type II vaccine,
bringing Moore County's to
tal to 24,000 or close to 70 per
cent of population.
Anyone who missed the earlier
programs that involved Types I
and HI vaccines will not have
an opportunity to make these up,
except through family physicians.

chairman for the “Stop Polio”
program, said that the money
contributions that had been made
were more than sufficient to pay
for the expense of the program,
but that no final accounting could
be made until all bills are in.
“Compared with other areas, the
people of Moore County proved
themselves most generous,” he
said, “thereby helping many who
could not contribute.” A donation
of 25 cents per dose had been ask
ed of each person.
Dr. Emily Tufts president of
the Moore County Medical Soci
ety expressed her gratification for
the good showing, and thanked
the many professional and lay
volunteers who had made the
program run smoothly.
“This was a real community ef
fort, and we of the Medical So
ciety are greatly pleased with the
results,” she said.
Local Hunt Gets
Pick Of Hounds
Of Groton Pack
Ten visitors have arrived from
the North winning a big welcome
from the hunting set in these
parts. The ten are five couple of
hounds that are being added to
the Moore County pack, hounds
that come from the fine northern
pack, the Groton Hunt of Groton,
Mass.
"The gift of hounds comes to the
local hunt through the interest of
Miss Betty Dumaine, who started
her hunting career and has al
ways kept up close connections
with Groton people, horses and
hounds.
The Groton Hunt, founded
about 50 years ago, is now ending
its career as a leading American
pack. Because of the numerous
developments being built in the
former himting country surround
ing the early American village,
and the criss-cross of highways
and turnpikes in that section, it

the northern hunt and in the local
pack, the local hunt was given

Dumaine flew to Groton Sunday

Dr. Goldstein
Of Sanatorium
Stricken In Car
A physician serving temporari
ly on the staff of N. C. Sanatori
um at McCain put his wife on the
train here at 6:30 p. m. Wednes
day on her way back to their
home in England. Then, while
driving back to McCain, appar
ently suffered a fatal heart attack
and wrecked his car.
Dr. Jacob Goldstein, 65, was
found dead on the front seat of
his small foreign compact car
after it had left the road and
crashed into a pine tree, breaking
it off, in the yard of D. R. Huff,
Jr., at Ashley Heights, a mile and
a half over the Hoke County line,
on Route 211. •
Huff and 10-year-old Jim Criss-
man, who lives across the street,
ran to the car when it wrecked.
They and other witnesses said
they had seen the doctor slumped
over the steering wheel before
the car left the road.
Dr. Goldstein, a native of Au
stria, who had fled to England
when Hitler rose to power, came
to this country last November to
join the staff of the Sanatorium,
a State tuberculosis hospital. He
had not been able to bring his
wife with him as she was ill at
that time. Later—only a month
ago—he himself became ill, suf
fering a heart attack, and was a
patient for several days at Moore
Memorial Hospital. She flew over
two weeks ago to look after him.
He apparently had made a good
recovery and she decided to re-

ted to Raleigh.
Since it was in every way a
“first,” without precedent in
local or -State experience. Dr.
Stone said, “We have requested
the maximum, and will use only
what is needed.”
The budget, totalling $1,468,274,
had been approved first by the
board of trustees in meeting
April 29. The board’s committee
on finance—Luke Marion of Car
thage, J. C. Robbins of Aberdeen
and J. E. Causey of Lakeview—
accompanied Dr. Stone to the
hearing.
The budget requests included
current expense of $189,074—
$38,250 from the county, $150,824
from the State; and capital out
lay totalling $1,279,200—$602,50,0
in State funds and $676,700 from
the county’s million-dollar bond
issue. The capital outlay request
is for construction and equip
ment.
In current expense, the county
is responsible for operation and
maintenance of plant, and,' while
the “plant” now consists only
of offices in downtown Southern
Pines, it may soon cover more
space, the president said.
He revealed that it is hoped to
get the college into operation next
fall, without waiting for the
buildings to be built, offering
evening courses in school build
ings and other places which
might be available. There will be
some expense connected with
these.
The current expense request to
the county, Dr. Stone noted, was

Work has begun on a new nine-
hole golf course to be added to
the 18-hole layout at Whispering
Pines Country Club, it has been
announced by A. B. Hardee, foun
der of Whispering Pines, the
growing residential and recrea
tion community north of South

new course and has signed a con
tract for its construction, Mr.
Hardee said.
The course is scheduled to open
in October. Another nine holes, to
complete two championship, 18-

mended for his work in keeping
the present course in top condi
tion, will continue to supervise
maintenance of both Whispering
Pines courses.
The new nine-hole course, like
the original 18, will feature
greens of Pencross bent grass,
Tifton 328 grass on the tees and
Bermuda grass on the naturally
rolling fairways.
An automatic pop-up sprinkler
system like the one now in use
on the 18-hole course, will be in
stalled, insuring green fairways
and greens, the year around.
