The council discussed a pro posal from the State Highway , department that parking on Pennsylvania Ave., between ■ Broad and Bennett, be changed . from diagonal to parallel and that ; parking on Pennsylvaia, between ; Broad and Ashe be restricted to one side of the street. The changes were suggested in connection with the designation of the Alter- , nate No. 1 route that would run through these two blocks of Pennsylvania Ave. Any such change would require a public hearing prior to an •amendment of the traffic regula tion ordinance. The council took no action, but asked Town Manager I^iuis . Scheipers, Jr., to consult with State Highway officials and see ■ if they would accept some less re strictive plan that would allow more parking spaces to be main tained. All councilmen agreed merchants are entitled to every consideration in allowing as many downtown parking spaces as pos sible. Bryan Poe was reappointed to the Planning Board for a five- year term. Other appointments, to the Board of Zoning Adjustment were: Tom Ruggles and Mrs. Ed na Blalock as regular members, replacing E. L. Pleasants and Joshua Blalock whose terms will expire; and L. H. McNeill and H. M. Patterson as alternates, re placing T. C. Johnston, Jr., and Mrs. George Leonard. Regular members have three-year terms, alternate members one-year terms, all expiring May 1. The council granted an on premises beer license to Jack Bennett, to operate at 1010 N.

BOYCHOIR (Continued from page 1) director in 1956, was pianist, ac companist and associate director of the choir for many years. Not only is he a brilliant pianist, but he is also a baritone soloist and a composer whose “Mass for Treble Voices” has received criti cal acclaim. The school, founded in Colum bus, Ohio, in 1940, now occupies the former Lambert estate, “Al bemarle,” at Princeton. Mr. Bryant will be on the stage of Weaver Auditorium immedi ately after the concert to hold au ditions for boys interested in en tering the school. The audition is a brief, simple test to discover potential or innate musical abil ity. Talented boys will be invited to apply for admission. The Music Association, of which Roland R. McElvare tit Southern Pines is president, has presented three previous attrac tions during its 1960 season—one each in January, February and March. They were Bizet’s “Car men,” by the Grass Rootk Opera Company; the North Carolina Little Symphony directed by Dr. Benjamin Swalin; and Edmund Karlsrud, bass-baritone and U. Wolfgang Fetsch, pianist, pre sented in a joint concert. Mr. McElvare pointed out this week that the three previous con certs have been on Thursday nights, but that the April 22 event will be on Friday night. He said he hoped that this will en courage attendance by children and young people from through out the county. A special reduced rate applies for any student in the schools of Moore County. The Sandhills Music Associa tion plans to sponsor again in May its annual Young Musicians Concert when music teachers of the county present their out standing piano and voice pupils. This concert, for which there is no -admission charge, is usually held at the Pinehurst Country Club. PTA (Continued from page 1) The two persons chosen then were Mrs. Robert M. McMillan and Charles Cole and J. Cecil Beith was later added as alternate. Mr. Howarth said that the board of education has concluded that a citizens committee from the school district could be helpful to the board in a study of what school consolidation would mean to Southern Pines and what it would involve. Such a study has already been started by the board. Mr. Howarth said that the study is including the advantages and disadvantages of high school con solidation and also will try to de termine “just what the people of Southern Pines want in a high school.” The county board of education is proposing in its county-wide school consolidation plan, a mer ger of the separate Pinehurst'and Southern Pines high schools with the Aberdeen high school which is in the county system. Whether school consolidation affects Southern Pines or not, Mr. Howarth pointed out to the PTA, it would involve a county-wide bond issue. Supt. Luther A. Adams an nounced that a trip planned by the senior class was not sponsor ed by the school and that school insurance would not therefore be in force during such a trip.

RUGGLES (Continued from page 1) Model For Others Several states-—most recently, Massachussets -and Florida—have patterned their programs by North Carolina’s. Specialists in the field are continually visiting this State to learn from its highly expert ARP staff. “Inventory,” the pro gram’s publication, goes into ev ery State, several foreign coun tries. Starting with establishment of the ARP Center at Butner in 1950, the program has expanded to in clude a floor in the psychiatric wing of N. C. Memorial Hospital, Chapel Hill, built in 1952; alcohol- I ic divisions in mental health clin ics set up in recent years through out the State, and an educational program extending into many communities and now into the schools. At the outset, it was an unchart ed course. Mr. Ruggles’ quest for knowledge took him to Hartford, Conn., seat of the first state pro gram (established in 1946); to the Yale School of Alcohol Studies, where research had been going on since 1930; to the Townes Hos pital and Bellevue in New York, and other places. Early Struggles Mr. Ruggles recalls the strug- g}es of those early days. “There have been plenty of obstacles and frustrations. We had to see what had been done, what needed do-j ing and how best to do it. We had i to set up a staff that could handle the problems.. . | “It is satisfying now to know that we have one of the best staffs in the country, that our treatment embodies the best of modern knowledge of this com plicated subject; that nearly 3,000 alcoholics haye tEiken it voluntar ily, and that follow-up work shows 60 per cent have changed their lives lor f!Re better—a good percentage. “It took time and patience. I took the time—^I had to learn the patience. I know now our best hope lies in educating paurents and children so that the seeds of al coholism will not flourish. Treat ment is good, prevention is better. I can wait. “These years have been good ones—and they’ve been best of all for me. They were the most sat isfying of my life.” Governor's Letter Queried by Governor Hodges Tuesday as to whether he wished reappointment, Mr. Ruggles an swered that he wished to retire. The Governor responded with a letter assuring him of “my per sonal appreciation and thanks, as well as those of the State, for the fine work you have done.” Mr. Ruggles is also well con tent with the choice of an old, admired friend, R. Bunn Liles of j Wadesboro, as his replacement on the board. The announcement was jmade last Thursday at Raleigh, ; where he attended his last board meeting. Dr. Norbert L. Kelly, ARP ex ecutive director, wrote him this week: “we have come ajpng way in 10 short years and much of this advance is due to you. We will never forget your pioneer efforts and the benefits of your faith, your guidance and leadership.” Busy "Retirement" Mr. Ruggles isn’t exactly retir ing. He is a member of the town council—a post he held in 1949 when he resigned to accept the State appointment. Also, in fur therance of the work to which he hgs dedicated himself, he is chair man of the Moore County Eilcohol- ic education committee organized last year, now moving vigorously along. His experience and knowledge are also at the ‘‘home folks” ser vice in a related field, in the Moore County Mental Health as sociation which he helped form four years ago. “TTiese things are all tied in to gether,” he says. “You help one, you help the other—you help one person, you help many. The prob lems are great, and increasing as present day tensions increase— we must all pitch in, and learn and work together,” In 1959 Tar Heel brick plants brick per capita than the nation al average.
