County Fair Will Be Held Next Week 40 Seabees Lend Helping Hand^ By V. NICHOLSON Company C, Division 6-2, of the Sixth Naval Reserve Dis trict, CB—the famous Navy “Seabees”—spent the weekend at Camp Easter-in-the-Pines, and as a result the State Easter Seal camp is well “wintered in” — tidier, prettier, safer against the elements, with many repairs and improve ments made and even with winter grass sown. At the camp, enjoyed in summer by crippled children from all over the State, the 40 the rest, they just looked i C.

After the story appeared in several papers of the area last Wednesday, Carthage Police Chief Allan Benner said he re ceived 18 calls from people asking about the dog, and wanting him if the owner didn’t turn up. But the 19th call was from the owner, Roy Hollister of Aberdeen Rt. 1, who came right over to Carthage, bring ing his four-year-old daugh ter. When the little girl called his name, “Ginger,” the dog came bounding out of an old car he used for sleeping pur poses, and, said the Chief, “the reunion was beautiful to see.” The child hugged Ginger’s neck as he joyfully licked her face. Roscoe Chambers, 20-year- old Negro convicted October 9 in Moore recorders court on several larceny charges, had the dog with him in a stolen car when arrested, and told Benner he had picked him up a month before on the high- (Continued on Page 2) jobs. They completely under pinned the Staff House, where flooring and pipes had been exposed to winter weather, and cut trees around the old barracks building, which had more than once been threaten ed by forest fire. Then they painted outdoor furniture and did some interior painting too; repaired all the screen doors, rebuilt the split rail fence and raked up fallen leaves and pine needles, which they burn ed; repaired walkways, built a drainage ditch and culverts, tilled some of the land before planting fescue and winter rye and checked the rolling equip ment, making needed repairs. Many Skills Some of the tasks had been listed for them by Mrs. Betty Liddell, camp coordinator.

We hope they come every? year and whenever they do, they will find a warm wel come at Camp Easter.” The unit, headquartered at Charlotte, draws membership from all over Piedmont and Central North Carolina, also some places in South Carolina. While there are three other Seabee units in the State, this is the only one restricted to construction skills. Their weekend at Camp Easter was a “field drill,” voluntarily un dertaken, without extra com pensation except the know ledge of good work well done. “We have four field drills a year,” explained Lt. Cmdr. F. STATE YDC CONVENTION Inventory Of Resources Being Taken By Area Commerce Body The Southern Pines Area Chamber of Commerce is tak ing a resources inventory of its service area of Southern Pines, Pinehurst, Aberdeen and Whispering Pines as prep aration for all economic devel opment programs it will carry out. The work, directed by the chamber’s executive secretary Floyd Sayre, will take three to four months to complete. After that it will be kept up to date. It will be a source of infor mation about the entire area and its parts for people inter ested in establishing business es—industrial, tourist, retail and others. The survey was started re cently. Among the categories of information it will compile about the four-community area are: population; labor supply; utilities; financial; retail sales and market trends; government and government services; accommodations; ed ucational resources, recreation al and cultural facilities; med ical facilities and health pro grams; and county and munic ipal tax structures. A separate committee will be appointed to study tax structures exclusively.
