Petitions Here
Ask Discussion
Of Consolidation
Dr. Charles A. S. Phillips of
Southern Pines, who recently
made the suggestion that a meet
ing be called here to discuss high
school consolidation in this part
of the county, said this week that
he has drawn up a petition which
he is distributing in Southern
Pines asking for such a public
discussion.
Twenty-four of the first 25 per
sons to whom he showed the pe
tition signed it, he said.
The petition reads:
“In the interest of an enlight
ened and informed public, the im-
dersigned petition the Southern
Pines School Board to arrange a
public discussion with educators
presenting pros and cons of hav
ing a consolidated high school for
the Southern Pines-Pinehurst-

Blue Urged For Lieutenant Governor
Golfers Invited
To Plan Tourney
A meeting has been scheduled
at the Pinehurst Country Club
for Tuesday, June 11, at 8 p.m.
to make plans for the annual
Moore County Golf Tournament,
including ways in which the
event can be expanded and im
proved.
Eligible to attend are residents
of Moore and neighboring coun
ties with playing privileges at
any of the following Moore Coun
ty golf clubs: Southern Pines,
Mid Pines, Pine Needles, Pine-
hurst and Whispering Pines.
A "self-appointed” steering
committee that called the meeting
is composed of Pete Tufts, Pine
hurst; Tom Shockley, Southern
Pines; Avery Beck, Whispering
Pines; and Harry Davis and H. L.
Brinkley, Carthage.
The committee urges all eligible
golfers to attend.
A number of Moore County
friends, with several from other
counties, joined a group of legis
lators meeting at Raleigh last
Thursday night, in the interest of
persuading Moore Rep. H. Clif
ton Blue, Speaker of the House,
to run for lieutenant governor in
1964.
Questioned by The Pilot this
week. Blue would say no more
than “I am interested,” adding
“It’s too soon to make a decision
like that.”
This was all, it appears, that the
group at Raleigh got out of him,
other than expressions of grati
tude for their friendly feelings
and esteem.
The group of some 50 persons,
meeting at the Sir Walter Hotel,
included many of the members
of the House who had aided him
in his overwhelmingly successful
campaign for Speaker, also some
who had opposed him until Rep.
Tom Woodard of Wilson got out
of the race.
It also included several Sena
tors, despite the fact that at least
four members of the Senate have
all indicated they may run for
lieutenant governor.
MOVES OFFICES
Howard A. Broughton, attor
ney, has moved his offices from
110 N. W. Broad St. to the second
floor of Dr. Robert M. McMillan’s
building at 140 S. W. Broad. Mr.
Broughton, who also maintains
an office in the Village Court
building in Pinehurst, recently
was reelected prosecuting attor
ney of the local recorder’s court.
COURT OF HONOR
A Boy Scout court of honor for
the Sandhills District has been
scheduled for 7:30 p. m. Monday
in the Pinebluff Methodist
Church to award merit badges
and rank advancements. Commu
nities in the Sandhills District
include Southern Pines, Manly,
Aberdeen, Pinebluff and McCain
in Hoke County.

To Start June 4
‘Impacted Areas’
Integration Rule
Not Yet Approved
A Congressional sub-commit
tee’s proposal that federal “im
pacted areas” funds be denied to
districts that do not racially in
tegrate their schools by June of
next year was misleadingly des
cribed as a “ruling” in last week’s
Pilot. The plan, approved by a
House Education subcommittee,
has not yet been written into the
law.
Under the “impacted areas
legislation that now exists, federal
funds are given to school districts
in which children of armed
forces personnel make up three
per cent or more of the pupils.
Qualifying under the present
law. Southern Pnies District re
ceives $12,000 to $15,000 per year
in such funds.
’The Pilot was misinformed last
week about the status of the
proposed integration amendment.
'The bUl, with the inijegration
amendment approved by the sub
committee, was sent to the full
Education and Labor Committee.
'The bill would extend the im
pacted areas payments program
for another year.
Car Wreck Kills Local Boy, 14
Frank H. Phipps, 14, an eighth ' ,
grade student at the East South- I
em Pines school, was fatally in-1
jured at 2 a.m. Saturday in an
automobile accident near Candor. ■
He died of head injuries alDout
four hours later at Montgomery
Memorial Hospital, Troy.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. I;
W. Clyde Phipps of 175 W. Con-'
necticut Ave.
Jack Yow, 22, of Southern I
Pines, was identified by Mont-
gomery County Trooper J. C.
Cameron as the driver of the car. '
Yow had borrowed the car from
Milton Kaylor. He was treated in
’Troy for facial cuts and other in
juries and was released Monday.
Cameron said the 1955 Chev
rolet sedan hit a curve at 80 to 85
nailes per hour, that Yow applied
the brakes but lost control and
the car overturned at least five
times. It was totally demolished.
The accident is still under in
vestigation and no charges have
been preferred as yet, the troop
er said on Tuesday.
