Title
These are the last days of
practice for the 360 qualifiers in
the Fifth Annual PGA Club Pro
Championship, which begins
next week at the Pinehurst
Country Club.
This is the tournament, with a
purse of $100,000, that offers the
best opportunity of the year for
worthwhile competition for the
golf professionals who make
their living by performing the
club duties so vital to the en
joyment of golf by the average
member.
Sam Snead, the defending
champion, will be on hand to
resume a career-long love-affair
with the courses of Pinehurst,
especially the No. 2, which holds
a top spot of favor with him.
Snead recently won the West
Virginia Open for the 14th time
and should be considered among

students in the elementary
grades, 3,001 in high school

Two Dead
In Fires

a house fire in two days occurred
Thursday morning when Eleanor
M. Cole, 63, died in the blaze
which gutted her frame home on
Dowd Street.
A passing motorist, seeing the
house was on fire, alerted the
Carthage fire department at 7
a.m. The firemen were not aware
anyone was in the house until
they had extinguished the blaze,
when they found the woman’s
charred body on the kitchen
floor.
The next-door neighbor, Mrs.
Sarah Hussey, told Coroner A.B.
Parker she heard something go
“boom” about 6 a.m., but was
not alarmed by the sound and did

firemen were on the scene.

now a resident of Moore county, on the famous

drawn for the “catch-up” term
for criminal cases, which will
immediately precede the regular

Several state troopers and

MEDPAC DEFINED — Dr.
William F. Hollister has made
the following statement to The
Pilot:
“While I was vacationing in
England, information appeared
in the newspaper column “The
Pilot Ught” in The Pilot of
Southern Pines, suggesting that I
am the largest single contributor
to the Helms Fund. This is a
complete mis-representation of
the facts. I have contributed
nothing personally to the Helms
Fund. The article goes on to state
that another big contributor was
listed as Medpac of Pinehurst.
No such organization exists. The
following statement clearly
defines what Medpac is:
“Medpac is a voluntary North
Carolina Education and Political
Action Organization, the
membership being made up of
the doctors, their wives and
families. It has the approval of
the American Medical
Association and the State
Medical Association. Mem
bership dues are $20.00 a year,
half of which goes to Ampac,
which is the American Medical
Association Political Action
Conunittee. The money is used
for education purposes and
candidate support on a non
partisan basis.
“The article also infers that
Medpac is a self-designated
political action committee. The
true identity of Medpac has been
clearly elucidated in the above
