C., THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1964 THIRTY PAGES PRICE: 10 CENTS i IF HELP GIVEN Libraries At Schools Could Remain Open Libraries in local schools could be kept open during the summer, “if parents will voice their inter est and organizations will offer some support,” Supt. James W. Jenkins said this week. Use of tax funds is not allowed for any summer operation of classes or libraries, the superin tendent noted, but the “school system would be glad to have the libraries open to all interested students” if persons to operate them can be provided. Mr. Jenkins said it has been suggested that civic organizations could pool resources to employ part-time persons to fill this need, or that volunteer groups could operate the libraries on a daily or hourly rotating system.

Beverly Lake, the Ra leigh attorney and former Wake Forest College law professor who this -year is making his second bid for the Democratic nomina tion for Governor, will make his first meet-the-public campaign visit to Moore County Friday morning.

Today, Thursday, Dr. Lake is in Harnett County. He is speaking in the courthouse at Lillington at 6:30 p. m. and will attend a bar becue supper in his honor, at 7:30 in Lillington. Dr. Lake also sought the Dem ocratic nomination for Governor in 1960, but was defeated by Ter ry Sanford. Moore County citizens turned out some 23,000 strong on Sun day, to take the last of a series of three doses of Sabin oral polio vaccine—almost the same number as took the second dose. A make-up clinic is set for 8:30 a. m. to 12:30 p. m., Sat urday at the Health Center in Carthage for those who missed last Sunday's "Feed ing." It is hoped that another 1,000 will gel their sugar lump with type II vaccine, bringing Moore County's to tal to 24,000 or close to 70 per cent of population. Anyone who missed the earlier programs that involved Types I and HI vaccines will not have an opportunity to make these up, except through family physicians. Robert S.

The ten are five couple of hounds that are being added to the Moore County pack, hounds that come from the fine northern pack, the Groton Hunt of Groton, Mass.
