SAUNDERS:
In an interview with this news
paper, Saunders described the
conversations that he said had ta
ken place between him and Voit
Gilmore, aspirant to the seat held
by Saunders at the present time.
Gilmore had sought Saunders
for several lengthy talks prior to
his (Gilmore’s) eventual filing,
the senator said.
“All the tim.e,” Saunders said,
“Voit Gilmore was urging me to
irun again for the Senate. The on
ly reference he made to his own
plans was to suggest that if I de
cided not to run for the Senate
then he niight. But he said also
that if I filed again for the Sen
ate then he would give thought
to filing for the House.”
The matter was obviously most
important and for some time,
during which the first two Gil
more visits occurred, Saunders
said, he was undecided.
“At first I was still'trying to
decide,” Saunders said, “but by
the time of our last meeting, (Fri
day, April 3) I had made up my
mind. As a matter of fact, I made
my decision early in the week
and at that time I could have got
ten it in the county papers, as I
wished to do before it made the I
big dailies of the state, but Gil
more had asked me if I would
wait to release such news if I
did decide to run—until he got
back from Washington. He made
the request and I gave him my
word that I would wait. On that
Iriday, then, when he came to
see m^ I told him that I had de-

.Mter Saunders’s accusations
had been made public in the
state’s press, Gilmore issued the
following statement:
“Fair-minded people will agree,
I feel sure, that this is a free
country where any qualified per
son can run for public office
without having to get someone’s
permission.
^■1 Moore County no one had
filed for the State Senate two
weeks before the filing deadline,
so I did. For doing this. Bill
Saunders now says I knifed him.
Because of my respect for Bill
Saunders’ record as a public of-
^ Democrat, I find it
difficult to believe that he could
have made the intemperate and
inaccurate remarks attributed to
him concerning my candidacy
for the State Senate.
“Mr. Saunders had two years
to decide whether to be a candi
date. He remained undecided a-
bout running while most of the
weeks for filing went by and the
reluctance to run which he ex
pressed to me was generally
known. In view of these circum
stances, and because I believe in
I fI decided to run.
At no time did I tell anyone I
would run for the House of Rep
resentatives, although it had been
widely reported that Mr Saun
ders might do so instead of facing
the tough, wide-open race in our
new senatorial district
“For weeks Bill Saunders knew
of my interest in running for the
State Senate. I notified him in ad-

the golf pro at the new club.
Forrest’s nine-iron shot from

him were O. T. Parks, Jr., Carlos

Miss Page Shamburger of
Aberdeen, roving editor of Cross
Country News, has been named
as a member of the Federal Avia
tion Agency’s Women’s Advisory
Committee on Aviation.
Announced by President Lyn
don B. Johnson on Monday, the
committee will seek potential
areas of improvement and devel
opment in civil aviation and will
recommend a basic course of ac
tion to stimulate that develop
ment. Among the areas to be ex
plored are airport noise, sonic
boom, incentives for safety, avia
tion education, career opportuni
ties in aviation, flight and crew
training facilities, improvements
in airports and heliports, and
what women can do to encourage
air travel.
In describing the committee,
FAA Administrator, N E. Hala-
by, said that the FAA not only
looks for opportunities to utilize
the talents of its own 5,952 wom
en employees, but also seeks the
service of competent women out
side the Agency as well. “A Wom
en’s Advisory Committee on Avi
ation is needed to promote in
creased family use of aviation
both in business and recreation ”
Halaby said. “They can be of
service by recommending for
public information and education
programs about flying. We need
J. M. Pleasants and W. S. Taylor.
School money was the major
topic of discussion in the after
noon session of the board, when
Pinehurst District officials, in
cluding Board Chairman L. B.
Creath and Supt. Lewis Cannon
appeared with their proposed
capital outlay budget and the
county school system presented its
current expense and capital out
lay budgets—all lor the 1964-65
fiscal year to begin July 1.
Jere McKeithen of Aberdeen,
county board of education chair
man, appeared with his lull
board. County Supt. R. E. Lee
and several members of district
school committees.
The Pinehurst request was for
$38,263, all to be used for reno
vation projects at the Academy
Heights school at Taylortown.
Presenting the county system’s
capital outlay request, Mr. Mc
Keithen asked for a total appro
priation of $618,650 which in
cludes $377,150 that would be
added to $847,850 in bond funds
to build the $1,225,000 North
Moore High School, the second
unit in the coimty’s program of
building three consolidlated
schools.
He stressed that all of the $377,-
150 would have to ge given to the
county system if the North Moore
School is to be built.
This brought up the matter of
the request for $175,300 in cap
ital outlay funds made a few
weeks ago by Southern Pines
school officials, and it was noted
by several members of the
county school delegation that if
this were gregited, the county
could not proceed with its consol
idated school construction pro
gram, as promised.
It was recalled that there had
been an “agreement” in a meet
ing of board chairmen and super
intendents of the three school dis
tricts, when division of last fall’s
school bond issue money was the
main object of discussion, that
Southern Pines and Pinehurst
would reduce their capital out
lay requests for the coming year,
in order to let the county system
get on with its consolidated
school program.
Pinehurst and Southern Pines
school officials, queried later this
week about such an agreement,
said there had been no such un
derstanding. They said that coun
ty officials asked for this but that
there had been no firm agreement
to reduce their demands.
With all the capital outlay re
quests in from the three school
systems, the county commission
ers will now have to decide how
the available funds will be divi
ded.
The county schools also pre
sented a tentative 1965-66 capital
outlay budget totalling $691150
also asking for $377,150 for the
Aberdeen-West End consolidated
school, the third and final unit
in the county’s consolidation pro
gram.
This budget also lists $847,850
m bond funds as available for
this school which would, like

schools around the county for
