Page EIGHT The PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1962 Auto Licensing Information Called ‘Of Utmost Importance’ to Tag Buyers Miss Foy Ingram, director of registration for the Motor Ve hicles Department, this week is sued a round up of licensing in formation for the new year. She termed some of the new purchase and use regulations of the “ut most importance” to tag buyers. Miss Ingram urged owners to pay careful attention to the leaf let of instructions accompanying the license renewal cards which were mailed before Christmas. She said those failing to receive a renewal card should notify the Department of Motor Vehicles at once, giving their 1961 tag num bers and a description-of the ve hicle. The change to permit owners to retain their tag is probably the most important. Miss Ingram said. She explained; Vehicle tags purchased in 1962 and thereafter will remain in pos session of the registered owner. If the car is sold or otherwise dis posed of during the license year the tag is removed; it no longer goes with the vehicle. It may be transfered to another vehicle by making application to tne ve hicles agency. The registration card is also re tained by the owner. Until he registers his new car, required within 20 days, and obtains a new registration card, he keeps the old card, showing on the reverse side the name and address of the purchaser. The registration card, as usual, is required to be with the vehicle while it’s in operation. Liens (money owed) against motor vehicles and trailers will be recorded next year by the Motor Vehicles Department. The new procedure eliminates the old practice of liens being recorded in the county of residence, ^/ens are to be incorporated on the ve hicle’s title certificate in one of two ways—by presenting the ex isting title to the department with an application for recording the lien, or by owner’s application for a title containing the name and address of the lien holder, the date, amount, and nature of the lien. And in 1962 trucks and truck- tractor combinations will .be li censed for the gross weight of the combination. The license fee for all trailers and semi-trailers, re gardless of size or use, will be $3.00 for any part of the license year. Miss Ingram says, “Owners who use truck-tractors and trucks to pull trailers should make a gross weight declaration to include the empty weight of the combined two vehicles and the heaviest load that is to be transported by such combination.” She added that full details of the new truck fees and a summary of other regulations are contained in the special instruction leaflet sent with license renewal cards, and emphasized the importance of reading the instructions ca’.c- fully.

He has worked in commerical art and interior decorating for ixationaUy known firms, as weU as in furni ture designing. The MUlspaughs moved to Southern Pines fronu Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and had previously lived at Jamestown, N. Y. LIBRARY (Continued from page 1) Miss Haney explained that the librarian would be able to pro vide far more personal service to each library, through her release from “paper-work” and adminis trative tasks (in her case, now being duplicated in Moore and Richmond) and the employment of a larger staff—possibly anoth er librarian, or library specialist, to serve all three libraries. Local staffs would be retained, and the library buildings would continue to be provided and “housekept,” under local budgets, as they are now. What 'Rural' Means .The “Regional Plan” is being promoted by both state and fed eral aid sources as the best way to provide widespread rural pop ulations with library service. Un der their definition. Miss Haney explained, “rural” means any area not including an incorpora ted town of 10,000 or more popu lation. This would cover Moore, Richmond and Montgomery coun ties. Also, the plan requires a population of 100,000 or more to be served. There are today nine regional libraries in North Caro lina, each serving three to five counties. A certified librarian must head up the operation, as is true in the “sharing” plan which Moore en tered in 1956. The county com missioners’ cooperation in this and other requirements opened the way to both state and feders aid, which have been provided since that time in the form of an nual and a couple of special grants. Matching funds when necessarj and in other ways maintaining eligibility requirements, the com missioners have upped their a’- nual appropriation from a litth more than $4,000 in the fiscal year 1956-57 to around $11,000 this year. State and federal aid bring total support to about $17,- 000. 'The result is a library of greatly increased quality, more books of greater diversity, wider service and circulation which has more than tripled throughout the county. Federal aid under the “Region al Plan” would be in addition to that already being provided. Financial Problems The support from aU sources is still, considerably below the min imum considered adequate for a county the size of Moore, and the Ijbrary board struggles constant- ^ with financial problems to meet the ever-increasing demand for service. Its decision to pursue the “Re gional Plan” study was sparked by the discovery, at the first 1962 meeting, that only enough money remained in its county appropri ation for operational needs through June. With a list of sev eral hundred needed books. Miss Haney reported no money left through June, to buy any. However, she said, a balance of about $1,100 remains to be paid of a recent federal grant, about half of which is for salary pur poses. The other half—still far from enough—may be used to buy new books. More Space Needed The board also discussed the housing situation, as the library has inadequate space both for books and for readers. The pres ent building was rented by the county as a makeshift quarters when the library was moved in May, 1960, from the Sout^iern Pines Library building. Rent, util ities and janitor service must be squeezed out of the limited bud get. Plans made by the commis sioners for a permanent home, de signed for library purposes, in the proposed new Agricultural Build ing were later tabled because of high building costs. The board still hopes for a suitable home in the not-too-distant future, for more efficient library service in the face of growing need. However, said Chairman Evans, “We know the commissioners un derstand our problems and will do the best they can. They have shown they want a quality libra ry for Moore.” Monday’s meeting was a special one. Regular meetings are quar terly, set for the third Monday of January, April, July and October. Present was the full board—the chairman, Mr. Evans; Mrs. J. A. Phillips of Cameron, vice chair man; Mrs. Richard Down of Glendon, Mrs. John M. Currie of Carthage, Mrs. L. T. Avery of Southern Pines, and Archie Kelly of Eagle Springs; also Miss Hollis Haney, as secretary of the board.

At the south end of the pro posed parking area, there are ten tative plans for another structure to house businesses, about 350 bv 100 feet in size. This building is not part of the “Pnase I” opera- tioni The existing street between the service station and the Howard Johnson’s Restaurant would be extended, under the plan, to the full 900-feet depth of the proper ty, back from the highway. Architects for the project are John Erwin Ramsay and Associ ates of Salisbury and Hayes-How ell and Associates of Southen Pines. 'The buildings will present a combination of contemporary and colonial architecture, Mr. Fol- ley said. Colonial brick, board and batten arid other construe tion methods will be used. Letters sent to a number of Southern Pines merchants and businesses, signed by Charles P Cole, treasurer of W. M. Storey Lumber Co., described plans for the shopping center project and said, ill part, “We prefer loca' businesses to locate on this site. . . We are currently negotiating with several famous name stores which should assure success of the undertaking and provide much drawing power. We wel come and encourage your partici pation. . .” The letter asked that interested local firms communi cate with the company. W. M. Storey Lumber Co. of fices were moved from Winsfr'" Salem to Southern Pines by Mr. Gilmore nearly 15 years ago. The company does a nation-wide bu ness in lumber,, but has no local lumber yards. The offices were moved to a new building back of the Howard Johnson’s Restaurant about a year ago. POINT-TO-POINT (Continued from Page 1) Mr. and Mrs. F. Dooley Adams and Miss Page Shamburger will be timers, at start and finish of the race. Dr. J. I. Neal, veterin arian, will check horses at start and finish. Several of the “points” which the horses will pass can’t be reached by spectators because of washouts in recent bad weather, officials of the race said this week. A good place to watch the field, it was stated, is the fourth point, at Paddock, Junior, the home of Mrs. H. Gardiner Fiske. The first point will be across old No. 1 highway from the Red Barn dance hall, but spectators will not be able to reach that point ahead of the horses, if they watch the start of the race. Other points at which the riders may be observed (all near or off Youngs Road): Fifth—The Refugio Farm barn of F. Dooley Adams. Sixth—Tremont Farm of W. H. Frantz. Eighth—^In front of Fox Hollow, the former Harry Vale home. Ninth—^Youngs farm and stable across from the entrance to Fox Hollow, on Youngs road. Riders will be dressed in for mal hunting attire and colors of the Moore County Hounds, the Mecklenburg Hounds of Char lotte, the Sedgefield Hunt of Greensboro and the Camden Hunt of Camden, S. C. City Zona Stota RETURNS HOME Mrs. May Brower, who has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Vittorio Crescimanno at 580 East Indiana Avenue, returned. Mon day to her home in Utica, N. Y. It is not too late to plow your garden area and leave it in rougri fallow until time to prepare the soil for planting. Successive freezing and thawing will break up the soil particles and make the preparation of a seed bed much easier. Farmers spend more than $530 million annually for seed in the U. S. 1797. In the course of their rambles, they have gotten a number of Moore farmers and rural residents interested in, looking out for the kind of artifacts they collect. These are sometimes turned up i plowing or found in other ways People often don’t notice them the boys say, until they know what they are looking for. At Fayetteville, Niessner wiT talk about Mr. Macaraley himself, as a pioneer of archeology” ir North Carolina. Ganis will tell about the site survey Mr. Macauley did i Moore County. ' About 15 of the 100-odd arti facts in the Macauley library col lection will be displayed by th boys. Several persons from Moort County have been attending th' Upper Cape Fear Chapter meet ings at Fayetteville. The mov to organize the chapter came fron H. A. MacCord, an Army office' stationed at Fort Bragg who i doing extensive excavations a' an Indian site near the Cape Fear River. Folowing is the text of Mr Macauley’s pamphlet, “Vanish ed Indians of the Sandhills”: Beyond the evidence of their artifacts found near every spring, creekhead and river-bank, or along their two great trails tra versing the Sandhills of Moore County, no other identification now remains here of a once fairly numerous tribe or tribes of no madic Indian hunters and travel lers as well as dwellers in settled village sites. No Indian name or word des ignates any watercourse, hill, val ley, or other natural feature of the countryside—a part of the country which was once so pro lific in game, particularly the In dian’s mainstay, the white-tailed deer, and possibly, in remote times, the buffalo. Seemingly no explorer of Lawson’s calibre, pen etrated this area of pine forests until after the Indians had left and, though there is some evi dence that they had been in con tact with traders from -Virginia, they apparently abandoned this part of the country long before the advent of European settlers. Our only clue to their identity comes from the researches of the noted ethnologist, James Mooney, who declared them to be of Siou- an stock, allied to tribes of Vir ginia. But from whence they came or where they went, or how they designated their tribes is appar ently an unanswerable question. It is plainly evident that there were two waves of culture, finer workmanship and skill supplant ing primitive implements and pottery. For some unknown rea son an axe or a banner stone is a rare wind, implements of deer horn and bone needles are un known, while crude hoes and shards of soapstone vessels, some with lugs or ears not found in the fired pottery, are plentiful It is, of course, on record that many of the Indians’ mortars, grinding stones, soapstone and clay vessels were found and used by the early settlers. There were two main trails which crossed the state and pass ed through the Sandhills: the Yadkin and the Peedee. 'The for mer was a trading path from the junction of the great path at Sal isbury; the latter was a trail of migration leading from Virginia to South Carolina. Over these an cient trails came hunting parties traders, and, in later years, the remnants of tribes seeking refuge with the Catawbas, and, with the Cheraws, once known as the Su- .ara, earlier migrating from their home on the Dan River to a site on the Peedee opposite the pres ent town of Cheraw. Stud^ of the Indian relics in these parts shows evidence of trading, in the pipes, crude shells and European beads, mica, red paint, and blocks of stone not na tive to the site where found. Local campsites were located at springs close to the two trails. Alonge the Peedee 'Trail, a camp was close to the point where the trail crosses the line of the Sea board railroad, in Pinederte, be low Southern Pines; another campsite was at what is now the corner of Bennett Street and Illi nois Avenue, and a third was at the springs of our water supply lake. On the Yadkin Trail, there was a camp near the spring at the head of Carroll’s Branch and an other at the old John Allen Mc Donald place on the Midland Road. An extensive village site spread along the banks of James Creek at the Paddock, and over the ridge to Powell’s Pond and Ray’s Creek. There is another at the head of Horse’s Creek, near Linden. Of the pottery rims here shown, the local pieces are all of the light reddish brown “corn pat tern.” They are usually found mixed with grit and are not to be compared with the artistic ornamentation of the Yadkin Riv er sites. In Box No. 4, of the col lection, the three discs are game pieces and were found in Moore, Richmond, and Montgomery coun ities. The arrowheads, scrapers, knives and drills are selected specimens representing probably one out of every hundred found on any one location. Unfortunately for the archeol ogist, the spread of local rural and urban settlement, during the past fifty years, destroyed many for mer Indian sites and scattered the numerous artifacts turned up by plow and shovel. mixe nstan with the COLOR ■ any finish any iiiiaiitity Sandhill Builders Supply Corp.
