NO! NO! NO! NO! Persistent recent Sandhills rumors that Pinehurst, Inc., has been or will be sold were met with an unqualified de nial Tuesday by Albert Tufts, president of the cor poration whose extensive holdings run from a laundry to a shooting preserve and include the famed Carolina Hotel and the Pinehurst Country Club with its five golf courses. Not only has Pinehurst not been sold, said Mr. Tufts, but "no such offer has been made and if it were, we wouldn't consider it." However, rumors contin ued to fly—some even speci fying purchasers and selling price for all or part of Pine- hurst's many-million-dollax' interest in the corpor^ltion. But the word from Mr. Tufts stood firm: "We have no intention of selling Pine hurst." The boys are: Seated, left to right, Jerry Phil lips, secretary; Scott Guiterrez, vice president; Warren Hannah, president; and' Billy Doyle, treasurer. Standing, same order: Mac Fowler, Jimmy Ervin, Vernon R. Grumpier, faculty advisor; Garland McPherson and Bobby Hiatt. (Humphrey photo) *.

A (Continued on Page 8) Many Local Dogs Are Not Licensed Town Manager F. F. Rainey said this week that many dogs in town for whom town license tags should have been bought have not been properly registered at the police station. He also said that numerous dogs without col lars have been seen around town. All dog owners living within the city limits are required to have town license tags as well as the county license and rabies vac cination tag. Dog owners should report their dogs at once at the police station, if not already licensed, the man ager said. He also noted that un in the Senate where it was sent i der a town ordinance, dogs are to the Judiciary No. 2 committee, not allowed to run at large. ‘Vagabond King’ To Be Presented Here Monday Night, Closing Concert Series Remember “Only A Rose,” the lovely lyric that was the theme song of “The Vagabond King”? You can hear it again in all its haunting beauty when the Na tional Opera Company makes its appearance here Monday night, March 29. The charming Friml operetta will be the final concert of the yearly series sponsored by the Sandhills Music Association. Curtain time is 8:30 pm, the place. Weaver Auditorium. For dhose who do not possess series ittickets, single performance ad- 'missions are on sale at the Bar- hum Agency. Last appearance here of this noted travelling opera company was two years ago when they played to a crowded house in the delightful “Merry Widow,” that Other great hit of Old Broadway. “The Vagabond King,” the present offering, is—if anything could be—more tuneful and ro mantic even than the tale of the gay widow. It has the added ad vantage of the beautiful costumes of fifteenth-century France, and a thrilling touch of real history, the tale of the vagabond poet, and troubadour, Francois Villon. Villon, the Vagebond King, saves his country—and his head —when he rallies the “common man” to arms and victory against besieging Burgundy. This romantic swashbuckling musical by Rudolph Friml exudes all the good natured charm and wit of pre-revolutionary France. The delightful score includes such familiar melodies as “Song of the Vagabonds,” “Some Day,” “Only A Rose,” “Love for Sale,” and many others.
