Also in the party were Gen. Richard Spears and Col.

Governor Sanford was host to three present and former chief Janice McConnell, wife of Su- executives, two of whom brought their wives. They all had such a good time the guests extended their stay from three days to four—Friday through Monday. Sanford, whp had expected to be with them only Friday, cancel led his plans for the rest of the long weekend and stayed right on with his guests. They were Governor Philip H. Hoff, big, blonde and 40, first Democratic governor of "Vermont in 109 years, and his dark-haired, girlish wife; Governor Endicott “Chubb” Peabody of Massachu setts, a “lame duck,” but never- perior Court Judge John D. Mc Connell of Southern Pines, to ex tend welcome and to golf with the visiting ladies. It was all a reporter’s dream, except the casual banter seldom touched quotable subjects, as the guests relaxed and jibed at one another. Nobody said “Don’t quote me,” but the talk and laughter ran too fast. It was a bunch of nice people just having a real good time together. One time, Mrs. Peabody spe cifically noted, “You can quote me!” "Wife of a governor defeat ed in the primary, who had “just say-die campaigner, with his wife j loved” life in the Governor’s “Tommy,” a good-looking blonde; Mansion, she stated firmly that and former Governor Fritz Hol- lings of South Carolina, now practicing law in Charleston Sanford invited him three years ago, Hollings declared, “and I’ve just now gotten time to accept.” Sanford stayed with friends at Pinehurst, while his guests stay ed at Howard Johnsons. They golfed at both the Mid Pines Club, the Pine Needles Country Club and Country Club of North Carolina, and on two evenings the visitors danced at The Dunes. Breakfast at Mid Pines Arrangements for their stay— and play—in the Sandhills were made by State Senator-Elect Voit Gilmore on request of Sa- ford, his old friend and Carolina classmate. Gilmore joined the party Friday morning for break fast at the Mid Pines, as did Ralph Monger of Sanford, Lee “If Chub doesn’t get back into politics soon, I’m going to run for governor myself, and I mean that!” Grandma In Jail Few governors have the ex perience Peabody did, of having his mother grab the headlines while he’s in office. Mrs. Pea body is the smiling, white-hair ed and aristocratic lady, you’ll recall, who followed her convic tions to St. Augustine, Fla., join ed a “sit-in” and landed in jail. At that time, reported her daugh- ter-in-law, “Our nine-year - old son complained, T’m the only boy at Dexter School whose grandmother is in jail!’ The Hoffs were here while last Tuesday’s historic upset in the Stone Mountain State was still breaking out in headlines all over the country.

Weekending at the Mid Pines with the semi-annual Ho mer Cummings Golf Tourna ment, he was happily on his way to the golf course. He had a special word for Lee county’s him on holding the line for the Democrats in the GOP guberna torial candidate’s own home county. Other party leaders in the Commings group included John L. Sullivan, of New Hampshire, who served as Secretary of the Navy (in the newly formed De partment of Defense) during longest record of membership in the church, dating back to 1895, in the earliest years of the church. As Frances Geneva Storrs, she ■was confirmed as a member at the age of 13. She was later mar ried there. Her four children, of whom three now survive, were j christened there and three con firmed (one was confirmed else where). She was a regular attendant at Sunday services through the years, usually attending the 8 am service with her son Benjamin,. £itte„“pLT“‘ In Pinocchio” There is nothing too unusual mr i ^ about this .story, except that Mrs. I V Bethea was a Negro, in the" church which, except for her family was all-white. She was brought to Southern Pines as a child from Columbia, S. C., in the family of the Rev. Mr. Gregory, in which she was reared. When he came here as rector of the new small church, he "had the young girl whom he had taught about God and Christ, who had learned her prayers and hymns from him, christened and confirmed as a member. Though this was in the days when “integration” was scarce ly known even as a word any where in the South, her mem bership in the church and her place in the parish were accept ed without question, even with ^President Truman’s administra- pride, for she was the kind of Guess I could knock off Gover- Ralph Monger, congratulating senator. tion; and Frank Lausche, former Pennsylvania governor and U.

Though her father, Preston Abernathy, had been in poor health, and suffered from a heart condition, his death on Novem ber 4 was unexpected, and came as a shock. Dr. Raymond A.

A trio of comedy performers who have literally scooped all of the whipped cream off the tasty movie profits during the past several seasons are at it again. Once more Doris Day, Rock Hudson and Tony Randall have parked their super-trailers that! uation serve as on - the - set dressing rooms on a Universal sound stage. This time their springboard for best-selling comedy is a screen adaptation of “Send Me No Flowers,” a Broadway staige comedy of a few seasons back. With Hudson and Miss Day teamed as husband-and-wife, and Randall as their next - door neighbor, “Send Me No Flowers” draws its humor from a hypo chondriac who, erroneously con vinced he has only a few weeks to live, sets about finding a suit able mate for his widow-to-be. The comedy, in Technicolor, comes Sunday to the Sunrise Theatre. “Pillow Talk” and “Lover Come Back” did little more than roll up a reasonable—and as tounding—$25,000,000 at the world boxoffice, with quite a few "distant lands still to be heard from. Due to these re markable hits, Doris Day and Rock Hudson have dominated the polls of top boxoffice stars for the past several years.

There’s always plenty of sex in their comedies, of course, but it’s the cleanest sex invented.” WITH THE Armed Forces Navy Lieutenant junior grade Donald T. Robbins, son of V. R.

She was a kind and quiet person. "While her membership in the Federation of Women’s Clubs was almost her only out side activity, she was known as a supporter of all worthwhile causes in the West Southern Pines community.
