It was, to me, the inspiration of the fans that gave the players the motivation to rise to the heights of a championship team.” Louis Scheipers, Jr., town man- Preliminary Plans For New Building To House Agricultural Agencies Is Presented To County Commissioners ^spaper’s A Citizen un- A newspaper cannot be a good paper less it works for a good community.

Pilot I Construction of a building that vill house the county’s various Agricultural agencies and a new Ibrary came a step closer to real- itr this week when Southern Piles architect Tom Hayes pre sented the Board of County Com* mistioners preliminary plans for the structure. Tke plans call for a building of some 17,000 square feet on two levels. Federal offices and most of the county’s agricultural agen cies will be located on one floor. On the other floor it is planned to construct aq auditorium, a library, and offices for the Negro Home Demonstration workers. Total cost of \the bqildjng would ap proach S200,0W, if the present plans arM.JUsed. Thg biuilding would be located across from the medical cen- “ter in Carthage. Hayes said that four different versions had been studied and that the plans he sub mitted this week encompassed “all that the agricultural agencies thought necessary. It is a sound structure and designed to serve the needs of the county for at least 25 years and probably long er.” Commissioner John,Currie has been working with the agricultur al officials in determining the re quirements for the building and told the Board Monday that the plans had the approval of every one who had been active in the planning. No official action was taken ac cepting the plans but the com missioners voted to authorize bor ing into the site to determine the depth for the foundation. Hayes said that the work would probably be completed in two weeks and that his office would continue working on the plans. The Board has been requested a number of times in recent years to provide facilities for all the agricultural agencies to be hous ed under one roof and in a con venient location. Most of the agencies are now in the court house and have complained of the cramped quarters. The proposed building would have a library which would re place the county’s facilities now provided in the Southern Pines library. The auditorium, Hayes pointed out, would seat 350 people, and could be uSed for many functions of fapn people. REFUSE CAN (Continued from Page 1) and encourage people to use them often. In the Sandhills, where the tourist industry is vital, and where special emphasis is placed on beauty to attract visitors, there should be unusal effort to main tain this beauty and charm, Gil more said. Unsightly refuse not only creates an eyesore but de tracts from vital tourist income. In his address Gilmore went on to pther ways the tourist business can be increased in the SandhiUs as elsewhere. He sadd the Travel Council in cooperation with the State Highway Commission is studying what types of signs can best be displayed along the high ways, to “slow down” motorists passing through the State by call ing attention to Tar Heel attrac tions. The signs must be attrac tive in themselves—not a “road side blight.” He asked that any suggestions for such signs along the Southern Pines Parkway be forwarded to him. Mrs. Marie Smithson, president of the club, conducted the meet ing held in the auditorium of St. Anthony’s school, and presented the speaker. In a business session plans were discussed for the Char ity Ball to be held December 3 at the Armory. Following the meet ing, coffee and cakes were served. ager, md Earl Hubbard, president of the Chamber of Commerce, welcomed Byrne to the town. Larry Gelshenen, president of the club, also spoke and welcomed the guests. Tony Borelli of Raeford was program chairman. A new highway sign, which will be placed on US Highway 1, was displayed. The sign will point out the location of St. Anthony’s Church. Priests in attendance at the meeting were, in addition to Fath er McCarthy, Father John A. Brown of Pinehurst, Father Thomas J. Colgan of St. Joseph’s Hospital; Father James White of Sanford, and Father Edward Byrne of Scranton, Pa.
