School Board Bans Dogs From School Grounds In Future A concerted effort to keep dogs away from Southern Pines School was initiated this week by school authorities. The action was taken, accord ing to Superintendent A. C. Daw son, after repeated appeals to both students and parents had failed to keep the dogs away. “It is a problem that we have been forced to contend with for many years,” he said, “and we have finally reached the conclusion that forceful means must be em ployed.” Effective immediately, he said, all dogs that are found on the school grounds . during regular school hours, whether they are vaccinated or not, will be picked up by the dog warden and taken to the county pound. Owners must contact the warden in order to regain possession of their pets. Mr. Dawson SEud today that probably “seven or eight” chil dren had been bitten by dogs this year, though none of them had been injured seriously. He said the latest incident was last week when a dog, which was not vacci nated, bit a child. The dog is now uijder observation, he said, and would continue to be until it is definitely established he was not rabid or otherwise diseEised. At a meeting of the Town Council earlier this month Daw son had requested the assistance of the Council in adopting some action to rid the school of the problem. Council had suggested that the school board pass a reg ulation prohibiting dogs from the school grounds diuring specified hours. (The regulation is published elsewhere in today’s Pilot). Dawson emphasized to parents that the school was not deliber ately setting out to pick up dogs indiscriminately. “It is a fact, however,” he said, “that small children like to play with dogs. Sometimes, unfortu nately, the dogs do not want to play and the child may be bitten. In order 'to protect the children we felt the regulation of urgent necessity.” To emphasize the seriousness of the problem, Dawson said that several times this year dogs had followed their master to school and sat outside the classrooms. On several occasions, he said, the dogs snapped at other children who attempted to play with the owners. ■ IMPROVEMENTS (Continued from page 1) road from the hospital. This at tractive building, with all modern conveniences for the treatment of casual patients not requiring ad mission to the main institution, is expected to be ready by the end of the month. The funds making possible the big hospital project came from a successful campaign for dona tions launched over two years ago, and from'memorial gifts by Mr. and Mrs. H. Arnold Jackson, $50,000, and Mrs. C. Louis Meyer, $55,000. Many other large gifts were designated for the project during and after the campaign. With the termination of all con tracts, made in the name of Moore County Hospital, Inc., the name of the institution is to be changed to Moore Memorial Hospital. This change is expected soon, Mr. Howerton said. PTA TALKS ABOUT'RECREATION Leadership To Coordinate Program Judged Answer To Recreation Problem Recreation for both young and old in Southern Pines was the topic chosen for a panel discus sion by the I’arent-Teacher Asso ciation last week. Held in Weaver Auditoriiun, with Mrs. William P. Davis as moderator, the meeting attracted, besides members of the organiza tion, quite a sprinkling of the young-and-old whose needs for relaxation were under discussion. Many of those had questions to ask and yiews to air in the inter val reserved for such debate to wards the close of the formal meeting. Members of the panel seated on the state were: Mrs. Joe Mar ley, chairman of the town recreation committee; Mrs. Walter Harper, and J. B. Tollison, parent members of the PTA—Mr. Tolli son is presently a candidate for town councilman, Edward Schnei der, representing the retired old er group of citizens, and two high school seniors: Jean Safford and Philip Guin. The panel reviewed the many sports and opport'unities for play Eilready available in town and there was a brief discussion of each, with suggestions for re-lo cating some of the facilities and rehabilitating others. Mr. Schnei der spoke forcefully for resurrec tion of the old shuffleboard lay out, in the park, as a pleasant pas time; the two junior members mentioned the need for “a place to swim, to dance—an attractive sort of club for informal parties.” Concensus of opinion , that emerged from the discussion was that the town is pretty well sup plied with facilities, and also with interested leadership material, but that a professional coordinator is needed. Facilities not being used need to be publicized, it was thought, and the whole program revitalized by professionally com petent leadership. It was further suggested that the cooperation of civic groups with the town in the whole recreation program would offer the sort of progressive in terest needed. Mrs. Joseph Hiatt is chairmEin of the program committee which planned the meeting, with Mrs. Voit Gilmore and Elementary School principal W. A. Leonard conunittee members. Mrs. Davis, whose vital leadership of the dis cussion kept the ball rolling and the play under control, is a for mer mfember of the original town recreation commission. She is on the Girl Scout Council, Euid is chairman of the Moore County Board of Fhiblic Welfare. Anike Verhoeff Is Winner Of Coker College Award In and Out of Town Mr. and Mrs. S. B.

The question will be the spe cial progreim at a covered dish dinner Wednesday, at the Church of Wide Fellowship at 6:30 p. m. According to Dr. W. C. Tim mons, the nation was consider ably jolted when a leading arti cle appeared in the February 11 issue of Life Magazine, in which Dr. Shrader, of Yale University, used the statement of a high school boy who sought to excuse himself from attending Sunday School by saying to his parents that he found no interest. “It is the most wasted hotu of the week,” he said. ’The Committee on Christian Education, and the officers and teachers of the local Church School, feel that there is a chal lenge here that ought to be frankly faced. Dr. Timmons will present the, main outline of Dr. Shrader’s article, and there will be five interested leaders to take up the challenge both for and against. This subject, according to Dr. Timmons, lays claim to the seri ous concern of all parents and teachers, and also the officers of all oiu Churches.

NEW INDUSTRY (Continued from Page 1) his company, on orders from cus tomers, furnishes quUted materi al that will later be used for up holstery, blanket covers, bed spreads, and other things of sim ilar nature. Three machines, which look like regular sewing machines, have been installed in the base ment of a building just South of town on US Highway 1 that was formerly an appliance firm. The' machines have embroidery heads .in them and are operated on a principle that uses chain stitch ing. Operators are highly special ized, though Smithson says the training period is not a lengthy one. The company has home offices in Stover, Missotiri. At present, there are some 60 operators there. Smithson says the busi ness was growing, particularly with orders from the furniture manufacturers in North Caro- Ihna, and that was the reason for the decision to move to this area. He has been in the business since being discharged at the end of the war. His mother had been engaged in the work for some years previously. i John Ostrom, chairman of the Moore Coimty Industrial Devel opment Committee, said the in dustry, though small, was furth er indication that the area was on an economic upgrade. “We are particuleirly proud that Mr. Smithson has decided to locate here. We take no credit for help ing persuade him since we never had a chance to discuss with him the many reasons we think make this area well adapted for small industry. He came here bfecause of one simple reason: the town is a beautiful place and offers fine opportunities for comfort able living. Those are two of the things we are stressing to other potential industries;!’ Mr Smithson, busily shuttling back and forth to Missouri, said he was happy to be here. “You have the most beautiful town I’ve found anywhere. We look forward to a long and happy stay.” TOWN COUNCIL (Continued from Page'l) Pines.” ' He said that several items would be left out “even when the new fire wing is built.” But, he said, it was the feel ing of the Council and architect 'Thomas Hayes that the building would still be basically the same one that was originally planned. Contractors met with the Coimdl last week and said they could start construction within 60 days—^possibly sooner. To be located in the Town Park on the site of the building formerly used as the Town Hall, the new town hall is expected to be completed by July 1, 1958.
