Page EIGHT THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY. OCTOBER 17, 1963 Registration Is Reported Light; en To Oct. 26 Op Although he has not heard from all 19 of Moor.e County’s voting precincts, S. C. Kiddle of Carthage, chairman of the county board of elections, said this week that registration was reported generally light over the county as the registration period opened Saturday. Registration will continue through Saturday, October 26, with registrars at polling places on Saturday of this week and on the, 26th, prior to county-wide voting November 5 on a $1 mil lion bond issue for a community college and a $3 million bond is sue for school construction. Mr. Riddle said Aberdeen pre cinct showed mor.3 registration activity than any other whose re sults he had heard. In some pre cincts, including those in which registration lagged before the primary and election of 1962, it was “very light” Saturday, he said. Persons who are properly reg istered on the general election book in the precinct where they now reside need not register again to he able to vote Novem ber 5. All voters in doubt, how ever, are urged to check their status. Mr. Riddle said he thinks that a good many voters who were on the books several years ago failed to re-registere when an entirely new registration was held throughout Moore County in 1962. He warned that such per sons will not be able to vote in the bond election unless they get their names on the new books. These books, he recalled, have been open twice before—prior to the May, 1962, primary, and the November, 1962, election. n Nathaniel Burt Author Of Book On Philadelphia Just published is “The Peren nial Philadelphians: The Anato my of an American Aristocracy,” by Nathaniel Burt of Princeton, N. J., a writer-composer who spent a portion of his growing- up years in Southern Pines. The book, published by Little Brown & Co. of Boston, was fea tured on the front page of the New York Times Book Review last Sunday. Noting a few reser vations, the reviewer said: “. . . This is a remarkable dissection of a fascinating, at times amusing and always important and likable class of people. Mr. Burt’s study imparts more genuine under standing of the nature of an aris tocracy than a dozen dry sociolo gical monographs could ever do, because the author feels, as well as knows his subject. . .” Now in his late forties, Mr. Burt has devoted as much or more of his attention to music as to writing. He has published two novels, “Scotland’s Burning” and “Make My Bed,’,’ and numerous magazine articles. His last visit to Southern Pines was when a musical com position of his was performed here by the North Carolina Sym phony, under direction of Dr. Benajmin Swalin. His father was the late Struth- ers Burt, a Philadelphia native who himself wrote two books about that city—the non-fiction “Philadelphia—Holy Experiment” and the novel, “Along These Streets,” and also other volumes of fiction, essays and poetry. His mother, Mrs. Katherine Newlin Burt, is the author of many novels. For many years, the Burts’ winter home was “Hibernia,” off N. Ridge St., now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Peter Katavolos. FAMILY CROUP— \Va\ne Sabm. tennis pro moving here from Florida, is pictured with liis family—his wife, Joan, and daughters Joel Erickson, 17, Joe Wynn, 6; and Joan, 3. Wayne Sabin Moving His ‘Tennis Camp’ To Pinehurst From Florida Location Wayne Sabin, tenni? , profes sional who is a foriner Davis Cup player and high-ranking ama teur and professional player in the years 1935-49, will move the “Tennis Camp” he has operated at Silver Thatch Inn, Pompano Beach, Fla., for several years to Pinehurst, where it will begin in late June of next year, ending in August. Sabin, a native of Portland, Ore., who has made tennis a life long career, has moved to the Sandhills with his family, leasing the Baker house at 170 N. Page St. here. Already completed are ar rangements to conduct the camp —for talented young tennis play ers, 9 to 17 years of age—^from headquarters in the Manor Hotel at Pinehurst, which Will remain open through next summer wita the regular staff, to provide hous ing and meals. Plans call for 32 campers, in two four-week sessions. While the emphasis is on ten nis, the youngsters will be afford ed an opportunity to take part in other recreational facilities in the area, such as riding and swim ming. Arrangements have been made with Pinehurst, Inc., for use of the Pinehurst Country Club courts, leaving a certain portion of each day’s time open for use of the courts by other players in Moore Co. Booths Increase Interest In The State Fair this area, Mr. Sabin said. He has a staff of 10, including counselors, house mother and as sistant tennis coaches. The house mother, is a former tennis pro, Ann Verity, formerly a ranking woman player. He has prospective campers en rolled this year from Austrilia, France, Germany and many areas of the United States. In previous years, he has had young sters from Equador, Venezuela, Germany and Canada, as well as this country. Mr. Sabin’s wife is the former Joan Buchda of Cleveland, Ohio. Her father, Fred Buchda, on his retirement from work with a telephone company, bought prop erty in Tryon, N. C., so she is fa miliar with this section. Sabin also played here as a pro during the time when he was a ranking player along with Donald and Lloyd Budge, Tilden, Vines and others. The Sabins have three daugh ters, Joel Erickson, 17, Jo Wynn, 6, and Joan 3. They are called the “Three J’s.” Moore Teen Denis’ Officers Elected Jane Jackson of West End was elected president of the Moore County Teen Dems at a meeting held Monday in the West End school cafeteria. The Teen Dems are young peo ple under voting age who are in terested in the Democratic Party’s approacn to government. Other officers of the coxmty- wide group elected were: Tommy Blue of Eagle Springs, vice pres ident; Barbara Hurst of Southern Pines, secretary; Dale Frye of Carthage, treasurer; and Sandra Hartsell of West End, editor- reporter. All teen-agers interested in joining the organization are in vited to attend the next meeting of the group, at the courthouse in Carthage at 7:30 p. m., Monday. Moore County’s two booths at the State Fair going on in Ral eigh this week has increased in terest in the annual event that is drawing hundreds of thousands of people to the fair from all parts of the state. One of this coimty’s booths is a forestry exhibit prepared by Ex tension personnel including County Extension Chairman F. D. Allen and Bennie Fulcher, assis tant agent specializing in forestry counseling to landowners of the county. This booth is in harmony with the fair’s overall 1963 theme stressing the importance of for ests and the woodproducts in dustry over the state. Also to be seen at the Fair is a booth prepared by Mrs. Amelia Capehart, home economics agent (Negro work), in which members of Moore County 4-H Clubs co operated. Its message is one that Mrs. Capehart has been empha sizing in her work with young people over the county: the eco nomic value of getting as much education as possible, in order to be qualified for better-paying jobs when schooling is finished. A leaflet called “Dollars and Sense,” prepared by Mrs. Cape hart, is being distributed at the booth. Moore County was invited by the Fair management to furnish the two booths this year. Invita tions to provide booths are ro tated around the counties of the state. Miss Flora McDonald of Carth age, who retired July 1 as Moore County Home Economics agent, after many years of service, is in charge of a home, furnishings dis play at the fair. The fair will continue through Saturday. 4-GRADE (Continued from Page 1) suit with local officials. Preceding the listing of specific plans, Mr. Hodgkins told the group that high school enrollment in the Southern Pines district has doubled in the past 10 years and that the schools are growing at the rate of about three classrooms per year. The East Southern Pines schools, he said, are already about five classrooms short of needed facilities. He said the bond issue program would put the local school “about five years ahead” in both East and West Southern Pines. Touching on the controversial consolidation issue, Mr. Hodgkins said that rapid growth of the Southern Pines community ap pears to mean that the local high school will obtain sufficient size soon to provide the advantages that a larger school can give. He cited several practical and legal difficulties in consolidation, that would be time-consuming, and said that it would! mean having to abandon the present large audi torium and gymnasium. “Our school board is not pig headed,” he said. “We are investi gating every avenue open to have a fine school system. If we find one that will work better than the one we have, we will not hestitate to embrace it.” The school board chairman ex plained in detail and strongly en dorsed the plan for the two-year comprehensive community col lege, pointing out not only its great educational benefit and op portunity for Moore County young people, but its economic benefit which would be like a new in dustry moving in to the Sandhills area. Mr. J.enkins explained details of the proposed new building for grades one through four and how its construction would benefit junior high and high school pro grams by freeing space for need ed facilities. This means, he said, that the entire curriculum can be further up-graded. He noted that the school board has undler consideration tentative plans for an industrial arts de partment that would provide pre- vocational and pre-technical train ing. He sited studies being made of the local curriculum, with outside advice, and said, “With the extra classrooms and anticipated growth we feel that we will be able to offer our students a well-rounded program second' to none.” MAN BOUND OVER (Continued from Page 1) and startled the community. Mrs. McPhatter is one of two attendants providing round-the- clock care for Mrs. Styers, who has hardening of the arteries and is at times mentally vague. She is nearly blind.. Chief Deputy Sheriff H. H. Grimm of Carthage, the arresting officer, said Mrs. McPhatter was in the bathroom, washing up pre paratory to going off for the afternoon as soon as her replace ment arrived, when she heard Mrs. Styers cry out from the en closed back porch where she was sitting in her chair. The nurse said she ran out to see McMillan, whom she knew, kneeling on the floor, molesting Mrs. Styers. Grimm said the nurse told him she then tried to beat him away, and he wrestled her back into the house, hitting her on the head with his fist and knocking her to the floor of the dining room. She managed to grab a plaster of parts figurine from the table and hit him with it on the forehead, making a cut which started to bleed. He jump ed up and ran off. Mrs. McPhatter ran for help to the home next door of R. C. Sty ers, the aged lady’s son, who call ed the Aberdeen police station. State Trooper R. R. Samuels re sponded, arriving shortly with Trooper W. R. Austin. In the ab sence of Deputy J. A. Lawrence of Aberdeen, who was out of town, they summoned Grimm. Southern Pines Police Chief Earl S. Seawell, hearing a radio call for officers and Prison Department bloodhounds, went to Aberdeen in his own automobile, taking a “walkie-talkie” radio owned by the local police depart ment, which he said he thought might be useful. The officers then went to Mc Millan’s home, finding him in a “passed-out” condition on the floor, according to Grimm. Taken to Mrs. Styers’s home, he was positively identified as the at tacker by Mrs. McPhatter, though Mrs. Styers was unable to make conclusive identification. How ever, she recalled the attack and told the officers of it. Her son had called a physician for her. McMillan was booked first un der a public drunkenness charge, and placed in jail to sober up pending the drawing up of the felony w^l^rant. Tall, lanky and dark-complex ioned, a pulpwood laborer irregu larly employed, he moved to Aberdeen from Raeford several years ago and has been in trouble with the law several times since then, according to Aberdeen Po lice Chief A. F. Dees. He has served several road terms, the last time for drunkenness. He had been indicted for attempted as- ault on minor children but when the case came to trial the state’s witnesses declined to testify. Mc Millan was warned at that time by Judge J. G. FarreU of Aber deen Recorder’s Court to stay away from the premises of the woman with whom he had been living, but on completing his road sentence recently, he returned to her home. Dees said. COUNTY FAIR (Continued from Page 1) tain more samples of farm pro duce, cooked and canned goods, arts and crafts, domestic arts and other interesting displays entered by Moore County men, women and young people, than ever be fore. All available booths have been taken up by business and indus trial firms, also by agricultural, forestry, humanitarian and other service interests. The Carthage Jaycees have donated a booth in the interest of the proposed $4 million community college and public school b,ond issues. In the Agricultm-al Building 4-H members will display their best livestock. Ribbons will be awarded. County agricultural workers have been assisting in all phases of the Fair. O. D. Wallace is president of the Carthage Jaycees A^’^ho spon sor the Fair as their major pro ject of the year. COMMITTEES (Continued from page 1) hour, from 5 to 5:30 p. m. j Fair Booth Members of local steering com mutes from throughout the coun ty will staff an exhibit and in formation booth at the Moore County Fair in Carthage all next week, Mr. Saunders said, work ing afternoon and evening shifts. The chairman urged all fair vis itors to stop at the booth for in formation about both the school and college bond issues. College Trustees Mr. Saunders said nximerous residents of the county have been asking about the proposed col lege’s board of trustees—the 12- member administrative group that would take over full man agement of the college from the county board of education which has acted simply as an organiz ing group for preliminary steps such as applying to the State for allocation of a college and setting up the bond issue. The chairman pointed out that naming of the trustees is provi ded for in legislation adopted by the General Assembly, directing that: Four trustees be elected by the board or boards of education of the public school administrative units in the administrative area of the institution—^meaning that in Moore County, these four trus tees would be elected jointly by the County, Southern Pines and Pinehurst boards of education. Four of the trustees would be elected by the county commis sioners. And four would be appointed by the Governor. Terms of office, duties and all other details in regard to the trustees are spelled out in the law, Mr. Saunders said.
