WEEK OBSERVED
Consumers Can
Receive Advice
“Calling Consumers,” a na
tionwide effort to inform peo
ple about the consumer infor
mation and education offered
by the Cooperative Extension
Service, is being observed in
North Carolina November 14-
18.
In explaining the occasion,
Mrs. Jean Hubbard of Carth
age, Extension Home Econ
omics agent for Moore Coun
ty, said that “consumer educa
tion has, for a long time, been
an important part of Exten
sion’s educational program.
However,” she added, “many
Tar Heels are not aware that
they can receive reliable and
unbiased consumer education
from us.”
The Agricultural Extension
Service can provide families
nth information that will
'n them know what to buy,
. to use it and how to care
iOr their purchases, she said.
Mrs. Hubbard says she can
be reached at the Extension
office in the Agricultural
Building at Carthage, and will
help advise on wise consumer
choices. There is no charge for
this service.
Clarendon Gardens—the large
landscape service and beauty
spot off Linden Road, out of
Pinehurst — with expectation
that a Horticulture Institute
for training of landscaping and
horticulture technician's, would
be set up, using the area as a
training site.
Francis W. Howe is the
present owner and operator
of Clarendon Gardens and the
originator of the foundation
proposal. Playing a prominent
part in planning and negotia
tions is former Gov. Terry
Sanford whose law firm, San
ford and Cannon, of Raleigh is
handling legal work on the
foundation.
Sandhills Community Col
lege has been proposed by Mr.
Howe as the academic center
to conduct the institute’s
courses, in connection with
the foundation’s operations,
but no formal consideration of
the proposal has been given
by the college’s board of direc
tors, said H. Clifton Blue of
Aberdeen, board chairman.
Dr. Raymond A. Stone, col
lege president, is among the
persons named to the charter
board of the foundation. On
Saturday, he expressed his in
terest in the foundation and
noted the need for training in
the field of horticulture, es
pecially for students who are
not enrolled in four-year
colleges and universities.
A professional fund-raising
firm has expressed optimism,
after a survey, as to a financial
campaign that would raise
funds for the proposed found
ation. As planned, the founda
tion would seek Internal Reve
nue Service approval as eligi
ble to receive tax-deductible

MURDER CHARGED
Evidence In
Garner Case
Insufficient
The State took a nol pros
with leave in the murder case
against Henry Douglas Gar
ner, 42, of Highfalls Monday,
as the regular term of Moore
County Superior Court open
ed with Judge John R. Mc
Laughlin of Statesville presi
ding.
Though the case was calen
dared for Tuesday, District
Solicitor M. G. Boyette called
it early in order to state to the
Court that he found the evi
dence insufficient for prosecu
tion at this time. The nol pros
with leave leaves the way
open for prosecution later
should additional evidence be
found.
The grand jury last August
handed down an indictment in
the case, in which Douglas
Garner was accused of the rifle
slaying of Ellis Albert Garner
(no relation) at a woods cabin
near Southern Pines last July
12.
At the current term, the
grand jury handed down a
true bill on the only other
murder case on the docket,
against Herbert J. Blue of
Cameron, accused of the pistol
slaying of Eddie Cossom, a
South Carolina tobacco work
er, at a night spot near Cam
eron July 12. Blue was placed
the next day in Moore County
Jail, where he was held with-

SUNDAY CONCERT
The West Southern Pines
Civic Club is sponsoring a con
cert by the Sandhill Choral
Society at 7:30 pm Sunday,
November 20, in the First
Missionary Baptist Church on
Gaines St. The public is invit
ed.
pany’s Highway 15-501 plant,
although most is stored in a
new warehouse at the com
pany’s manufacturing site on
Morganton Road, near the No.
1 highway parkway.
Plans call for a new build
ing, to be constructed on Gate-
wood Ave., south of the com
pany’s Morganton Road build
ings, to house most of the new
machinery. The property is
now involved in an unsettled
zoning action, but construction
is expected to begin when and
if this is settled satisfactorily.
The machinery was acquir
ed, Mr. Hicks said, after he
learned that the famed Rich
ard Hudnut toiletries firm—
which has plants in England
and other nations—had de
cided to discontinue its own
soap production at its South
ampton, England, plant and
have the soap made by a Lon
don (England) manufacturer.
The production had included
both Hudnut soap and that
made under the “Dubarry”
label of a subsidiary.
Negotiations resulted in pur
chase by Carolina Soap & Can
dle Makers of all the ma
chinery in the Southampton
plant, consisting of some 40
pieces whose bulk and 60,000
pounds of weight presented a
formidable transportation
problem.
Sent to London by heavy-
duty lorry for special crating,
the machines were shipped
from London and came to
Southern Pines after being un
loaded at Wilmington.
Addition of the former Hud
nut equipment, Mr. Hicks said,
will give' Carolina Soap “as
much fiAg soap-making ma
chinery as any company in the
country.”
He said the forthcoming ex
pansion of the business will
mean an increase in employ
ment here and that Carolina
Soap’s sales capacity will be
taxed to meet the new produc
tion levels.

Some Figures
Changed In
Vote Canvass
The official canvass last
Thursday of the Moore County
voting in the general election
of November 8 produced few
corrections in the published
unofficial figures and no
changes in the results.
The Moore County Board of
Elections checked the tallies
in a meeting in the Court
house at Carthage, with Chair
man S. C. Riddle Sr. of Carth
age in charge.
Riddle told a Pilot reporter
later that the turnout was
above average for a non-presi-
d'ential election but not a
record. He said the total was
more than half the approxi
mately 14,500 registered Re
publicans, Democrats and In
dependents registered on the
county’s books.
The heaviest balloting was
the total of 8,761 cast in the
Fourth Congressional District
contest between Democratic in
cumbent Harold D. Cooley of
Nashville and Republican
challenger James M. (Jim)
Gardner of Rocky Mount, the
winner.
Riddle said between 600 and
700 additional names were re
gistered on the books during
the pre - election registration
period, most of them Demo
crats. In registration the De
mocrats have a paper major
ity of 3-1 but crossing of
party lines in general elections
