Cox of Southern Pines High School an nounced yesterday that one of the school’s students has been- named a semifinalist in the 1960- 61 National Merit Scholarship competition. She is Patricia Gor- don-Mann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward G. Gordon-Mann of Peedee Rd. These Semifinalists are among the 10,000 high scoring students on the National Merit Scholar ship Qualifying Test, a test of ed ucational development given in more than 15,000 high schools last spring. The Semifinalist group is composed of the highest scoring students in each state and m United States territories. Each Semifinalist now moves a step closer to winning a four- year Merit Scholarship to the' col lege of his choice. John M. Stalnaker, president of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, which conducts the annual program, stated that “Mer it Semifinalists represent the most promising brains in the na tion. From this group of able, at tractive students will come the scholars and intellectual leaders of tomorrow.” The Semifinalists will take an other rigorous examination, the tnree-hour Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Ex amination Board, to be given in testing centers throughout the na tion on December 3, 1960. Students whose scores on the second test substantiate their per formance on the qualifying test and who are endorsed by their high schools will become Finalists in the competition. In past years, more than 95 per cent of the Semifinalists have become Final ists. As Finalists, the students will be eligible for scholarship awards sponsored by 115 business and in dustrial organizations, profession al societies, foundations, indivi duals, and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation itself. In the final phase of the com petition, the high school grades, extra-curricular activities, school citizenship, and leadership quali ties of the students will be evalu ated along with their scores on the tests. About May 1, 1961, the names of the Merit Scholars will be an nounced, the exact number de pending on the extent of sponsor support of the Merit Program. Each Merit Scholarship is a four-year award to cover the un dergraduate college years. The recipient’s stipend is tailored to his need. Stipends have been ave raging about $750 a year.

For students who already possess financial resources which will en able them to attend the college of their choice, awards of $100 a year are granted. The minimum stipend is a form of “educational insurance” for the student who receives it, be cause the amount will be increas ed at any time while he is in col lege if there is a significant change in his family’s financial situation. Finalists designate the college they wish to attend and the course of study they plan to pur sue. The colleges chosen by the Merit Scholars in most instances also receive cost of education grants ranging up to $500 per year to help defray the actual costs of educating the students. The Merit Scholarship Program is now in its sixth year. It was founded in 1955 with grants from the Ford Foundation and the Car negie Corporation of New York. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation and sponsors have thus far contributed direct finan cial assistance to nearly 4,000 students and their colleges. The competition is open to stu dents in any public, private or parochial high school in the United States and its possessions.

A Carthage man, Joe Leon Col lier, was found not guilty of a variety of traffic charges, inclu ding speeding 80 miles per hour in a 35-mile zone, when positive identification of him as the driver of the speeding vehicle could not be proved, in Moore County Re corder’s Court on Monday. Carthage Police Officer John McDonald named Collier as the driver but Collier produced two witnesses who said they saw the speeding car—which never was stopped by the officer—and that they were positive Collier was not the driver.
