Mr. Smyth, who helped locate the Cornell Dubilier Company in Sanford, said it had been his ex perience that personal correspon dence with heads of various com panies produced the best results. “In the Sandhills, where many prominent men in industry have retired and located their homes, we have dozens of leads as to the individual approach,” he pointed out. “Many of these men would, I am sure, be delighted to give us their assistance in obtaining new industry for the county.” The committee discussed the possibility that, within the next few months. Piedmont Airlines may curtail part of its service at the Southern Pines-Pinehurst Airport because of runway diffi culties. The airport, now one of the smallest in the county that has regularly scheduled air serv ice has no paved runways. Under a new arrangement. Piedmont is expected to obtain a number of turbo-prop planes next year and replace the pres ent C-47s. they now use. Such planes, it is believed, will not be able to land at the airport here. The committee will invite members of the County Board of Commissioners to sit in on the next meeting, primarily to get their feelings on obtaining new industry, but the airport problem will undoubtedly be discussed. Ostrom directed each of the community representatives to sel ect one good industrial site in his locality and either have a map or an aerial photograph made of it for inclusion in the brochure. Burroughs said it would take about two weeks, maybe longer, to process the material for the brochure to its best advantage. Publication of the brochure has been guaranteed by a still un named ■“angel” of Moore County. It is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $1,500 to $2,000.
