Council Approves
Change in Zoning
For Small Tract
Meeting Tuesday night at town
hall, the council approved a zon
ing change,, concurred with Town
Manager F. F. (Bud) Rainey in
proposed increases in charges for
sewer and water taps and granted
a beer sales license—all in nine
minutes, the shortest meeting on
record, noted Mayor John S.
Ruggles.
The full council was present:
Mayor Ruggles and Councilmen
Capel, Hobbs, Johnson and Pol
lard.
No one appeared at the public
hearing on a proposal to rezone
a small triangular tract of land,
located on Pee Dee Road, north
of the Pennsylvania Ave. inter
section in West Southern Pines,
from residential to business use.
Mr. Rainey told the council that
of four adjoining property owners,
only one had objected. He read
a letter from Mrs. G. Curtis
Jones, the former Sybil Nettleton
and heir to the nearby property
of the late Dr. Nettleton, who
wrote that she thought the change
would spoil existing residential
properties. The manager said,
however, that he had obtained
verbal approval of the change
from the three other owners of
adjoining property.
The change had been requested
by Councilman Capel who pro
poses to build an office building
on the lot.
Mr. Rainey said that putting in
water and sewer taps is costing
the town more than the current
charges to property owners. These
charges, he said, have not been
raised for years, despite increases
in the cost of water meters and
other equipment used, as well as
labor.
He said he proposes to raise the
charges as follows:
Three-quarter inch water tap,
from $65 to $75.
One-inch water tap, from $105
to $125.
Two-inch water tap, from $300
to $325.
Sewer tap, from $50 to $60.
Also, he proposed a $20 addi
tional charge, for either water or
sewer tap, when the pavement
has to be cut.
The council informally approv
ed all charges. The matter did not
require formal action.
TTre beer license was granted to
Mrs. Georgia Ferguson for on
premises sale at the North Side
Service Station on May St. Ap
proval of the application had al
ready been made by the State
and by the local police depart
ment, the manager said.
Legion To Elect
Officers, Plans
Memorial Service
The Sandhills Post, American
Legion, met with Commander
Charles Sadler at the Park View
Hotel for its May meeting Tues
day. The Ladies Auxiliary met
at the same place and time for its
annual installation of officers for
the year 1962-3. (See another
story in today’s Pilot).
Cbmmander Sadler appointed a
nominating committee to present
a slate of officials to be voted
upon at the Post’s June 5 meeting.
The commander was authorized
to name a program committee to
arrange a May 30 Memorial Ves
per Service at Mount Hope Ceme
tery 5:30 p.m., working with simi
lar committees from other organi
zations.
Trotting Horses
Perish in Bam
Fire, Pinehurst
Scotch Kin, eight-year old out'
standing trotter and winner of
the Harness Writers’ “Horse of
the Year” trophy at Vernon
Downs^in New York State last
August; perished in a pne-dawn
fire, at a Pinehurst track horse
barn Friday, along with a prom
ising two-year-old filly, Victoria
Bounty.
Horses and barn were owned
by H. Arnold Jackson of Pine
hurst. Lost also in the blaze that
totally consiuned the structure
was considerable racing equip
ment.
George Veno, Pinehurst fire
chief, said that the alarm was
turned in by the operator Of a
restaurant at the track about 3:35
a. m. He estimated that the fire
had been burning an hour or
more when firemen arrived as
the roof and walls were falling
in, the horses were dead and
nothing could be saved.
Cause of the fire was not deter
mined, Chief Veno said, but it
appeared to be defective wiring.
The fuse box serving the bam
was in the tack room from which
the fire appeared to have spread
throughout the barn. He said it
was his understanding that the'
building was insured but that the
horses and equipment were not.
Clyde Gigee of Southern Pines,
trainer of the Jackson horses,
said that Scotch Kin made a great
comeback in racing in 1960 after
a 1959 operation and a career
plagued by physical mishaps, ty
ing the all-time mile dash record
at Vernon. In 1961, he won 16
out of 20 starts and never placed
more than third in any race. Driv
en by Gigee, he won the Gover
nor’s Cup at the N. C. State Fair
in 1960.
Victoria Bounty was to have
been raced for the first time at
Vernon Downs in the coming sea
son.
LITTLE LEAGUE
(Continued from page 1)
photos and other details appear
in a fuU-page sponsored advertise
ment.
The new park has been com
pleted except for a concession
stand building, although funds
are needed to complete payments
on the lights and other equip
ment.
The lighted park, built to na
tional Little League specifica
tions, is designed solely for boys’
baseball. The project was begun
in August of last year, under a
newly organized Little League
board of directors of which Dr.
William F. Hollister is chairman.
The park is designed to accommo
date fans who wish to watch
games from parked automobiles
as well as those who sit in the
bleachers.
The Park Committee appointed
by Dr. Hollister to plan and su
pervise construction work is:
Joel Stutts, chairman, whb was
given the Young Man of the Year
award by the Jaycees for time
and effort spent on the park pro
ject; and Woodrow McDonald,
John Crowell, Joe Kimball and
Shirley Wooster.
Harold Collins and Joe Kimball
headed the lights cOmmittee.
Frank Garlin is chairman of the
outfield signs committee.
Many other individuals and
business firms contributed
money, equipment, materials, la
bor and time to the park project.
“Without the support of these
individuals and businesses, the
success of this program would not
have been possible,” Mr. Stutts
said this week.
The local Little League is a
chartered member of the Nation
al Little League, entitling an
all-star team from this league to
enter playoffs leading to a na
tional championship game at Wil
liamsport, Pa., the league head
quarters.
To remain a franchised mem
ber of the national organization,
the league is required to follow
fitrict regulations covering age
groups of players, recommended
selection system, curfew on night
games, specific number of games,
and pitching and other aspects of
play.

2 County School
Principals Resign
Two resignations of principals
of schools in the county system
were announced this week by R.
E. Lee, county superintendent.
The resigning officials are R.
P. Johnson of West End and T.
K. Holmes of Cameron.
Johnson’s letter of resignation
was sent to Paul VonCanon,
chairman of the West End school
committee which had recently re
elected Johnson to another year’s
term of service. No reason was
given for the resignation and his
future plans were not indicated.
Holmes’s letter to Supt. Lee
said that he had accepted the
principalship of Rosewood High
School in the Wayne County sys
tem. The letter thanked the
superintendent and board of
education “for the fine spirit of
cooperation that has been given
me while in Moore County.”
Holmes said his work in Moore
“has been most pleasant.”
DEMOCRATS
(Continued from Page 1)
party affairs in the district and
State unless we act with full en
thusiasm and energy in the coun
ty.”
He pointed out that Moore will
have only 19 votes at the state
convention, and that all seven
smaller counties of the recon
structed Eighth District, put to
gether, have only one vote more
than Mecklenburg.
Mecklenburg will have 145
votes, while the others total 146,
as follows: Moore 19, Lee 13, An
son 14, Lincoln 24, Montgomery
12, Richmond 28 and Union 26.
“We will have to fight hard,
even in alliances with other coun
ties, to make: any impression at
all,” he noted. “It’s going to take
all spunk; and spirit,, and we ■will
have to stick together and be real
Democrats first, foremost and
always at the State convention.”
Congressman Harold D. Cooley,
representative of the fourth dis
trict since 1934 and dean of the
North Carolina Congressional
delegation will deliver the key
note address, it 'was annovmced
from State Democratic Headquar
ters, in Raleigh on Monday by
state chairman Bert Bennett.
SCHOOL FUNDS
(Continued from page 1)
which, less the $61,500 listed as
on hand for this project, would
call for a capital outlay request of
$48,500 now.
The only capital outlay request
made for the East Southern Rnes
.schools was for a $5,000 account
ing machius for the superintend-'
ent’s office, to be used as a cen
tral payroll and accoimting sys
tem and also for instruction of
commercial course students. The
machine would save the annual
salary of another clerk, it was
stated.
Graphs showing sharply rising
recent and projected pupil enroll
ment in both East and West
Southern Pines were distributed
to the commissioners by the
Southern Pines officials.
N. L. Hodgkins, local school
board chairman, and Supt. Luth
er Adams presented the Southern
Pines capital outlay requests. Ap
pearing with them were three
school board members, Mrs. Wal
ter Harper, Dr. C. C. McLean and
P. I. York.
Before Mr. Lee presented the
county systems capital outlay re
quests, the commissioners heard
an urgent plea from a delegation
of some 25 persons that they al
lot the full $410,000 needed to let
a contract for the Union Pines
School. They were told that if
the contract, which is being held
open to August, is not let this
year, it could cost up to $30,000
more if bids have to be a^ed
again.
In the delegation were school
committee members from all the
districts to be consolidated in the
second “super high school” to be
built in the Pleasant Hill area of
upper Moore. Paul Greene spoke
for the Union Pines group and
Jimmy Garner for the others.
Gamer read a resolution by com
mittees of the Westmoore, High-
falls and Robbins districts stating
unanimous agreement on building
a consolidated high school to
serve the three districts. Also
speaking was Mrs. J. W. KeUy of
the Carthage school committee:
who stressed that the people were
behind the school committees in
their requests.
Capital outlay requests from the
Pinehurst school system, totalling
$20,500, largely for a boiler and
major renovations, were presented
to the commissioners last month.
When all the figures were in,
the only comment was this from
one commissioner: “All I know
is, something’s got to ^ve.”
RESCUE SQUAD
(Continued from page 1)
partment of Interior (Bureau of
Mines) First Aid Course, and
have had many opportvmities to
put their training to use.
Their vehicle equipment con
sists of an ambulance and an
emergency truck or squad car.
The ambulance, which will be
available for emergency calls,
will be fully equipped with all
types of first aid items.
The emergency vehicle is
equipped with a generator to sup
ply current, oxygen tanks, resus
citation equipment, and numer
ous tools and supplies to be used
in any emergency from getting
people out of wells to ripping
open a burning bus or car. While
they also carry emergency fire
fighting items, they do not fight
fines. They will assist the county
fire fighting units, however, if
called on.
Each unit will supply its own
emergency car, which will be pri
vately owned and two-way radio
equipped. Members of the Rob
bins unit have provided their
own two-way radio communica
tions in their cars, and have
found them to be very effective
in keeping their headquarters
advised on their location and ac
tivities.

produced in the U. S. in 1961 to

fried chicken once a month.

The local lodge sponsored t-wo
successful May tournaments for
Elks in North and South Carolina
and Virginia, in 1960 and 1961,
but next week’s tournament is its
first venture on the national
scale.
Early this year, some 2,000 let
ters were sent out to all B.P.O.
Elks Lodges in the nation, stating
that the tournament would be
held and a brochure would be
sent on request. Such requests
were received from 26 states.
The states froih which entries
were received are: North and
South Carolina, Virginia, West
Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Mary
land, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Il
linois, Michigan, Nebraska and
Texas.
Dr. Starnes said the committee
is particularly pleased with the

Art Ruffin, Jr., who won both
the previous Elks tournaments
here and is former N. C. Amateur
champion, will play in next
week’s tournament. He plays
without a handicap.

bringing their wives and making
the trip a week’s vacation.
