the May town council meeting on
a recommendation of the Plan
ning Board that a triangular piece
of land on Pee D^e Road east of
that road and a short distance
from the road’s intersection with
Pennsylvania Ave., be rezoned
from Residence III to Business
II, to permit construction of an
office building on the lot.
Meeting for its April session
last week at town hall, the
(council voted to call the hearing
after learning from Town Mana
ger F. F. (Bud) Rainey that the
Planning Board had made the
recommendation after two visits
to the site. All adjoining proper
ty owners will be notified of the
hearing.
The smaU tract of land is owned
by Councilman Felton Capel who
seeks a change in the zoning so
that he can build on it an office
building in connection with the
cooking ware sales business of
which he is manager for a large
territory.
Mayor John S. Ruggles was
absent and Mayor Pro-tem J. D.
Hobbs presided. Present also were
Councilmen Morris Johnson, Ca
pel and Fred Pollard.
The council approved a reso
lution relieving the tax collector
of certain taxes erroneously list
ed. Mr. Rainey said that about
tax bills going back to 1953. .T^e
taxes in question are levied
against persons who are decesised
or who have moved away and
can’t be located, mostly taxes on
automobiles. Sometimes, it was
stated, an automobile owner lists
a car one year and then sells it,
but it is picked up and erroneous
ly listed by the tax lister the next
year and the tax billed against
the owner is never paid because
it is not actuaUy owed.
Mr. Rainey said that every ef
fort is being made to locate “lost’’
persons who actually owe back
taxes and that a considerable
amount has been collected. The
Coucil, he said, is not asked to
relieve the collector of any taxes
unless the person either doesn’t
' really owe the tax or can’t be
found.
’The council discussed briefly
upcoming expansion needs in the
water and sewer departments, on
which bond issue proposals are
expected some time in the future.
Town Attorney W. Lament
Brown, who is chairman of the
board of trustees of the town-
owned Southern Pines Library,
asked that the council also study
library expansion needs—an ad
dition to give more book, reading
room and research space.
An increasing number of per
sons are using the library which
Mr. Brown described as “bursting
at the seams.”
Mr. Rainey said that a suggM-
tion had been made that a civics
class at Southern Pines High
School be permitted to have a
Page ELEVEN
"youth day in government,” tak
ing over for a day all town of
fices, in cooperation with town
officials, to learn about munici
pal affairs.
Councilmen indicated they fav
ored issuing an invitation to the
class to conduct such a program.

ter at the American Legion Hut I
in Aberdeen, Saturday, April 28,
at 7:30 p. m.
Commenting on the formation
of the chapter. Wicker said, “All
young people should join with us
because here is a real opportunity
to make a contribution toward
achieving stability and progress
in both government and our econ-
omic life. The millions of young
Americans have the greatest stake
in the future of our country. The
socialistic program of bigger and
bigger government and more and
more controls and less and less
individual freedom must be stop
ped. Membership in the Young
Americans for Freedom is howj
the young people of Moore Coun
ty can join in this fight to pre-1
serve our way of life.”
Young Americans for Freedom |
is a national organization found
ed in September, 1960, in a con-1
ference at Sharon, Conn., by
young people from 24 states.
Membership is open to anyone]
under 39 years of age.
A statement drawn up at the
Sharon conference describes
members of the organization as
young conservatives. It states that
“political freedom cannot long ex
ist without economic freedom,”
opposes government interference
with the free play of supply and
demand in the market economy, [
praises the Constitution for its re
straining of concentration and
abuse of government power, and
says that “the United States
should stress victory over, rather
than co-existence with” interna-1
tional Communism.
