Much Concern
With only two of the four Sat
urdays set aside for registration
now remaining, the committee
discussed with much concern the
fact that many Democrats have
put off registering, or do not
know that a complete new regis
tration is being made.
The old books are out. New
ones are being built up from
scratch, .because of the precinct
changes and defining of numer
ous boundary lines formerly in
doubt, recently put into effect by
the county board of elections.
Th.9 committee approved the
placing of newspaper and radio
advertising to pound home the
message to all Moore Democrats
that they must register during the
current registration period if
they are to be able to vote in the
primary May 26.
5-Member Commitlee
At the precinct meetings on
May 5, the Democrats residing in
that precinct elect a five-member
committee, at least two of whom
will be men, and at least two will
be women. The precinct commit
tee, after their election, will select
from its membership a chairman
and vice-chairman, one of whom
shall be a woman and the other
a man, and a secretary-treasurer.
Both the precinct chairman and
vice-chairman are automatically
members of the county executive
committee.
Wide publicity is being given to
2,100 N. C. precinct meetings and
all Democrats are being urged to
attend. In addition to election of
the five-member precinct commit
tee, delegates to the county con
ventions on May 12 will also be
elected, and plans for the fall
campaign will be discussed.
At the county conventions on
May 12, the county executive
committees will elect their offi
cers and delegates to the state
convention and begin making
plans for the county campaign
in the fall.
County Convention
Chairman Brown said that the
Moore County Democratic Con
vention will be held at the court
house in Carthage, Saturday, May
12, at 3 p. m.
The state convention will be
held in Raleigh, Thursday, May
17, following the district caucus
where the state executive com
mittee and sectional committees
will be named.
The new state executive com
mittee, which will be elected on
May 17, will meet on June 1 in
Raleigh to name party officers
and take action on other party
matters. Following the state ex
ecutive committee, the party
chairmen and vice-chairmen will
meet in their respective districts
for the purpose of naming a state
campaign committee which, with
the state chairman, will organize
and set in motion the statewide
Democratic campaign organiza
tion prior to the general election
in November.

paign results:
Corporate Division, headed by

including $56,802 from the hos
pital board, $49,972 from the hos
pital board; $10,000 from the
Auxiliary and $8,156 from hos
pital employees.
Community contributions,
which were divided into “pri
mary” and “sustaining” (smaller
contributions) gifts were listed
Southern Pines, $37,753, pri
mary; $10,318 sustaining.
Pinehurst, $92,291 primary;
$2,365 sustaining.
Aberdeen, $6,450 primary;
$2,528 sustaining.

634 sustaining.

Raeford, $8,570, sustaining.
West End and Jackson Springs,
$2,290, sustaining.
A total of $49,025 was reported
from “other sources” — including
the pledge of $45,000 from the
county commissioners.
The $45,000 commitment to the
campaign from the county com
missioners was authorized at a
special nieeting of the .board
April 18, called to reappoint C.
M. Patterson to the county ABC
board and to take up the matter
of a requested transfer of certain
county school funds.
No record of the hospital pledge
appears on the minutes of the
meeting. Mrs. Audrey McCaskill,

board, said today that she had
been sick and had not attended

action on Mr. Patterson and the
school funds transfer had been
given to her for inclusion in the
minute book.
W. Sidney Taylor of Aberdeen,
member of the board of commis
sioners, questioned today about
the hospital pledge, said that the
pledge is for $15,000 per year for
three years and is in the form of
a letter of intent, because the
present board does not have au
thority to appropriate funds be
yond its term of office which will
end in Deoember.
Mr. Taylor said that the com
missioners were unanimous in
their approval of the pledge and
that they felt the county had not
been contributing enough to the
hospital over the years.
Some $25,000 is budgeted
by the county for Moore Mem
orial Hospital in the current
year’s budget for care of
the medically indigent but, the
commissioner pointed out, this is
spent on behalf of the indigent
patients and does not make any
permanent contribution to the
hospital.
Mr. Taylor said that all mem
bers of the board were familiar
with expansion needs of the hos
pital, as W. P. Saunders, general
chairman of the campaign, had
talked with them all privately
before the April 18 meeting. Mr.
Saunders also visited the board
while they were meeting April
18. the commissioner said.
Without the pledge from the
county, the hospital fund cam
paign would have been more than
$20,000 short of its $450,000 goal.
