PAGE TWENTY-FOUR THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1964 ‘Broad-Band Zone Plan’ Announced By Phone Co. The United Telephone; Company of the Carolinas, Inc. has filed tariffs wtih the State Utilities Commission which will reduce mileage charges by extending Base Rate Areas and by introduc ing a Broad-Band Zone Plan in its North Carolina exchanges, the company announced this week. The proposed tariffs will change the flat rates for the various class es of service in certain exchanges to more equitably reflect the call ing scope of these exchanges and will pass on to customers the ben efits of the recent reduction in Federal income taxes, the an nouncement stated. In this area, United serves Southern Pines, Pinehurst, Car thage, Robbins, Vass-Cameron and adjoining areas. The company serves other areas in North and South Caroling and maintains its headquarters offices here. E. W. Smail of Southern Pines, president of the company, said that the proposed plan will cor rect inequities which have result ed from varying rates of growth and industrial expansion in the communities involved. The over all effect of these changes, will be an annual savings of approxi mately $20,000 to United’s cus tomers. The Broad-Band Zone Plan is relatively new in North Carolina and it will result in lower mileage charges for many customers liv ing outside the Base Rate Area, Mr. Smail said. For example, a customer with two-party resi dence service now paying a mile age charge of $2.56 for two miles could pay as little as 75 cents in mileage under the new Zone Plan. Local service rates under the proposal are based on the number of main telephones within the lo cal calling area of the exchange. In other words, the announce ment said, the more telephones that can be called for the flat rate charge, the more useful the serv ice. At the present time, some communities with local calling areas of approximately the same size are paying different charges for the same general service. The inequities can only be eliminated by classifying these communities by their calling scope, the company explained. Be cause of the classification of ex changes by calling scope, certain customers in affected exchanges will get an increase in their basic local service rate; however, many of these will receive offsetting re ductions in mileage rates. The changes will enable all cus tomers to be served on a more equitable basis, said the an nouncement. Through the elimi nation of reduction of mileage charges, many customers will be able to get an improved grade of service at a lower rate than they are now paying, it was stated.

In the first group of campers, a typical bunch, 12 will be in wheelchairs, while most of the others will be in braces or on crutches. To Develop Capacities Everything has been designed with their needs in mind, to help develop their own capacities for self-help, so that they will achieve new levels of skill and indepen dence while enjoying a full and fine camping experience. The rustic cabins with white hip roofs accommodate eight campers and two counselors each. Two of them are joined with a cement block bath house, one side for girls, one side for boys, serv ing all four cabins. Outside the bath house are wheelchair “park ing areas”—though the chairs can be rolled inside if desired, and even used under the showers. Some camp features weren’t quite ready this week. A sandy beach and waterfront activity area is being built beside the lake, where swimming and boat ing will take place. A meadow to the right of the entrance gate is being leveled for a base'oall dia mond (have you ever seen base ball played with wheelchairs?) A site on the wooded hilltop over looking the lake has been picked for a campfire site, for evening programs and Sunday vespers, and benches will be built by the counselors next week. Another site has been selected for picnic tables and benches, to be given by the local Moose Lodge. No Visitors Formal opening of the camp, with notables on hand and the public invited, is set for July 12. Until then, once camping is under way no visitors will be permitted, not even parents of the campers, as the trained leaders can handle the program best this way. A total of 96 children from sev en to 17 years of age, 32 in each of the two-week camping periods, will benefit by this enriching ex perience during the first summer, most of them on “camperships” sponsored by individuals and or ganizations. The seventh and final week of the camping season will be for adults. Following that, it is anticipated that one or more cabins will be “winterized” to in augurate a year-round program of camping and therapy. Though camping has been of fered in several previous years by the N. C. Society, this is the first time it has been on their own property, with opportunity to develop and implement plans which have been long in the mak ing. Previous camps have been held on loaned or rented srtes else where in the State, provrding lit tle more than the barest essentials of camping. Camp Easter has been designed from the start to be one of the finest camps of its kind in the country. And this summer’s program is just a be ginning. Plans call for the build ing of at least one more four- cabin-and-bath house unit next year, and others as more funds become available, according to Robert A. Lassiter, camp director. Staff Members Lassiter, executive of the N. C. Society, is serving with Camp Easter in the transition period be fore he takes over his new job. State supervisor of vocational re habilitation. Assisting is a staff of calibre which could hardly have been at tained, Lassiter said, without the full cooperation of the University of North Carolina, through its recreation department. The University has screened all applications for staff jobs and has assigned two outstanding graduate students to executive positions as part of their field work for master’s degrees. One of these is Miss Clara Simons, a graduate of the University of West Virginia and former Amer ican Red Cross professional, who has served for the past six years as recreation director with the National Foundation at Warm Springs, Ga. Miss Simons, as as sociate director has prepared an outline of each person’s duties, and of the full orientation pro gram and run-through of camp “Staff House,” the administrative Clifton Davenport of Southern building. General assistant, with the des ignation “coordinator,” is Mrs. Betty Liddell of Southern Pines, who as area secretary, a volun teer post, has worked with Lassi ter in all phases of the prepara tion. In the fall Mrs. Liddell, a registered nurse, former Army Nurse Corps officer and one-time public health nurse in Wake County, will become regional ex ecutive, a professional post. Waterfront director will be Marvin Cornell, Jr. of Southern Pines, and counselors wiU be col lege students Tom Culbreth and James Mallow of Southern Pines and Jim Leake of Wadesboro, also Paul Kelly, a Southern Pines High School student; and four Carolina girl students, Taffy Henry, Joel Ericson, Susan Pol lard and Jane Russell. Junior counselors will be Perry Davis, Roberta Austin and Candy Jones of Southern Pines and Lau rie Lassiter of Chapel Hill. Mrs. Dorothy Berseback of Durham, who served as camp nurse last year (at Umstead Park, Raleigh) will serve at Camp East er in the same capacity, while Dr. on ST. ANTHONY'S (Continued from Page 1) Award for religion went to Michael Black; the Faculty Award, for loyalty and service to the school, to Charles Buchholz, and the General Excellence Award to JoElla Fortin. The hst of graduates: from Aberdeen, Joseph Albanese; from Pinehurst, Jeffrey Stewart; and, from Southern Pines Michael Black, Charles Buchholz, Michael Dougherty, Arthur Jellison, Leo Jellison, Jonathan Turrietta, Cur tis Wallis, JoElla Fortin, Ann Jones, Pamela Lowstuter, Johan na Smith and Cheryl Thompson. Sister Catherine Leonard, prin cipal, and Sister Helen Philip, will leave Saturday for Villan- ova University, where they will spend the summer in graduate studies. Sister Helen Philip will take a course in library science. Pines will be the physician call. Mrs. L. F. Garvin, dietitian at Pinehurst schools, will be in charge of meals, with three cooks. Mrs. Richard James of Pinehurst will be staff assistant in the field of arts and crafts. The 70-acre tract north of Southern Pines, a half-mile off NC 22 (the Carthage Road) and Fairway Drive, was purchased by the Society in 1958. Plans were developed but construction did not begin until sufficient funds were on hand. Aspects of the planned consoli dation of the Aberdeen and West End High Schools will be discuss ed at a meeting to be held at the Aberdeen High School auditori um, Friday, June 12, at 7:30 p. m. School patrons who will be di rectly affected by this “Area III” consolidation program of the Moore County school system are especially urged to attend but all interested persons will be wel come, an announcement of the meeting stated. On hand will be the Moore County Schools staff, the county board of education and members of the Aberdeen and West End district school committees, with two members of the State Depart ment of Public Instruction as guests, to help answer questions about consolidation plans. Items expected to be discussed include a proposed school site on BLUE ASKS (Continued from Page 1) sessions. His complete istatement in an nouncing his decision to run, fol lows: “With a second primary having already been called to decide the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor, I am today exercising my prerogative to call a second pri mary for Lieutenant Governor. “After trailing my opponent in the first primary, the decision was not easy, and was not arriv ed at without much consultation and consideration. “During the days since the first primary May 30, I have been de luged with telephone calls, letters, wires and personal visits from people requesting that I call a second primary. “Many have exprsesed the feel ing that a man who is totally in experienced in North Caiolina legislative background should not be conceded the position of Lieu tenant Governor by a minority vote. This office carries with it the duty of presiding over the Senate, naming its committees and the chairmen, serving as a member of the Legislative Coun cil and as a member of the State Board of Education. “In calling for a second pri mary, I realize that I will be the underdog and that it will be an uphill campaign. “However, I am used to being with the underdog. I fought the Pinehursf-Airport road, the curriculum and “future plans for educational opportunities for chil dren attending schools of the Moore County system.” The Aberdeen-West End con solidated high school is one of three built or to be built by the (County school system. Union Pines, between Carthage and Vass, will open this fall. Next to be built will be one in the north ern part of the county, and Aber deen-West End will be the third, all financed in large part by last fall’s county bond issue. The announcement, which came from the county schools, made no mention of local interest in Southern Pines and Pinehurst joining the Aberdeen-West End consolidation, nor whether this proposal might be brought up at the meeting. LARGEST CLASS (Continued from Page 1) kins, on behalf of the board, pre sented Miss Miller with a gift symbolizing the gratitude and af fection of the board and the com munity. Commencement speaker was Dr. James S. Ferguson, dean of the Graduate School of UNC, Greensboro, who was introduced by Schools Superintendent J. W’. Jenkins. Dr. Ferguson, whose field is history, described the many ways in which the study of history is of value in life. Fortify ing his words with an effective use of quotations from the writ ings of outstanding thinkers, he cautioned his young hearers to avoid rigidity and be ever ready for “the changes that, in these days,are coming thick and fast.” The address was followed by a musical number of great charm played with skill by the school band. Frescobaldi’s “Gaillard” was a fitting preface to the thoughtful grace of the valedic tory speech delivered by Julia McMillan, which followed. Dr. C. C. McLean, chairman of the school board, presented their diplomas to the seniors as they mounted the stage one by one, following their introduction by High School Principal, Glenn L. Cox. Marshalls for the evening’s pro gram were: Chief Charles Alian McLaughlin, Linda Jeanne Aired, Steven Southall Grant, Harold Ed ward Hassenfelt, John Robert Hi att, Susan Anne Huntley, David Howard Jones, Janet Martha Phillips, Stephanie Sarah Pol lock.

It has not been a perfect record, but I believe it has been a record pointing in the right direction for a progressive and growing state. “When I announced my candi dacy for Lieutenant Governor on February 4, 1964, I stated my po sition on several of the issues and problems facing our State. My stewardship as a member of the Legislature for 18 years and as Speaker of the House will be an indication of my approach to the duties and responsibilities of Lieutenant Governor. “In the remaining days of the second primary campaign, I ex pect to visit the people in as many sections of the State as possible and discuss with them the issue and problems facing the State. “If nominated and elected Lieu tenant Governor, I have one promise to all people and all groups: A fair deal on top of the table. “I covet your consideration and support.” Defending champion and eight routine, to be followed next week, times winner of the N.

The University is one of 10 insti tutions in the nation which trains leaders for community colleges. Dean Chappell is a native North Carolinian who for the past five years has been dean of W'in- gate College, a private, denomina tional junior college. As dean at Wingate College, Dean Chappell was superintendent of schools in Wilson. In 1956 he led the effort among North Carolina school ad ministrators which resulted in the first community college legisla tion in 1957. Mr. Chappell is a graduate of the University of North Carolina, where he was president of the student body, and holds the mas ter’s degree from East Carolina College, and directed the student teaching program at Atlantic Christian College. Both men will move soon to the Sandhills with their families. Dr. Stone said. Dr. Banaghan’s wife, Mrs. Mar tha Banaghan, has a master’s de gree in Psychiatric Social Work. The Banaghans are the parents of two children, ages 2 and 5. Dean Chappell is married to the former Agnes Arey of Shelby. Their only son is a Lance Cor poral in the Marine Corps, sta tioned at Camp Lejeune. In announcing the two appoint ments Board Chairman H. Clif ton Blue of Aberdeen expressed delight that the college was able to attract two leaders so highly qualified to assist Dr. Stone with preparations for the opening of the College. Dr. Banaghan said, “My atten tion was drawn to North Carolina by its pioneering effort in many phases of education. The commu nity college program is especially noteworthy because of its breadth and comprehensiveness. The op portunity to work with an able young leader in higher education possibly was the decisive factor in my coming. Dr. Stone recommended both men as capable and experienced and expressed confidence that the work of the college would ad vance under their leadership. The college has offices in the One 76 N. W. Broad St. Building. MISS MILLER (Continued from page 1) sons in and out of Southern Pines. —A check from the board of education, presented by N. L. Hodgkins, board member at the 1964 graduation exercises Mon day night. —A large silver tray—the gift of the Southern Pines High School Class of 1964 and present ed at the Awards Day program last week. —A gold bracelet given by the town council on behalf of the Town of Southern Pines, pre sented at a Sunday afternoon re ception attended by about 200 persons. —A silver bowl gift of her fac ulty associates, along with a $100 bill, at a party given for her at Sanford recently. (The bowl was filled with the large flower ar rangement that was a feature of the Sunday reception—the gift of Mrs. George A. McCormac, proprietor of Southern Pines Florists.) —An orchid, worn by Miss Miller at the reception and on graduation night—the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Karl Bridges of Carolina Orchids, Inc., on Midland Road. —A copy of the school year’s final edition of the Knights Her ald, student newspaper at SPHS, with a dedication to Miss Miller, a dedication that was read by Mr. Hodgkins at the graduation ceremonies. This dedication re called her long teaching career and said, in part: “In Miss Pauline Miller we find not just a teacher, burdened by worrisome students, not just a faculty member, but a truly dedicated member of society who seems to take an interest in each of the students she has taught and had in homeroom. Al though we, as students resent au thority, resent homework, resent responsibilities, we have learned through watching Miss Miller the true worth of experience. For some 45 years, this woman has faithfully executed the duties of a sometime teacher, sometime disciplinarian, but always giving of herself and her talents. . Looking over all this, the re tired teacher said: “Everybody has been so wonderful that I just don’t know. ..” 'There didn’t seem to be any way to finish the sen tence. > I Born in Statesville, graduating from Davenport College in 1919, Miss Miller came here to teach in 1925 after teaching in Thom- asville. She taught seventh grade here for three years and then joined the high school faculty, teaching English until World War II when she began instructing in Latin when the Latin teac’ner went into war-related work. She liked it and has been teaching Latin for the past 20 years, as well as Enghsh. She plans a seven-week tour of Europe, that will take her to 10 countries, starting August 1. One of her Latin students, she said, asked her if she were going to travel over the routes that Cea- sar took—those journeys she has followed with her students in the classroom for many years. “I’m going to miss the girls and boys terribly,” she said this week, speaking of her retirement. She’s been teaching about 150 students in her various classes. “I’ve this to be thankful for: I’ve always known the nicest peo ple in town—the boys and girls. I don’t believe in ‘juvenile delin quency.’ It’s terrible to class any boy or girl that way. Some boys or girls get out of hand—that’s all. It’s not a bit worse than it ever was. There will be four or five who cause trouble in any school. “My students knew I loved them. When I fussed at them, they knew it was because they were not doing all they could. They felt no resentment—but I will say that children liked me better out of school than in school. No student will do more than you expect. If you expect great Several reappointments and one new appointment to town boards and committees were made by the town council at its June meeting Tuesday night. All the councilmen were present: Mayor Norris L. Hodgkins, Jr. Mayor Pro Tern Fred Pollard and Councilmen Felton Capel, C. A. McLaughlin and Harry Pethick. Two three-year terms on the Recreation Advisory Committee were filled by the reappointment of Mrs. J. P. Marley and the naming of Leon Hamilton a new member, to the seat held by W. S. Thomasson who has moved out of the city limits and so was not eligible for reappointment. Reappointed to the Adver tising Committee, for cfue-year terms were all the present mem bers: Chairman George Pottle, Ward Hill, George H. Leonard, Jr., Mrs. Jean Edson, Stanley Austin and Councilman Pollard representing the council on the committee. Miss Lockie Parker and Mrs. James Boyd' were reappointed to six-year terms on the town-owned public library’s board of trustees. All the posts filled are volun tary jobs, without pay. Zoning Hearing ’The council approved a recom mendation of the Planning Board for a change in zoning in West Southern Pines and set the next regular meeting on July 14 as time for a public hearing. No op position to the change is expected. Under the proposal, the zoning would be changed fromj Residenti al to “Business II” on the west side of S. Hardin St., between Pennsylvania and N. H. Aves. and on the south side of W. New, Hantpshire Ave., between Harden and Carlisle Sts. The change originated with a request by W. E. Stubbs to per mit construction of an office building in the New Hampshire block that is affected. The Plan ning Board extended the recom- meiidation to cover the other frontages (all to a depth of 200 feet), to tie in with existing busi ness zoning in the area. The council authorized Town Manager F. F. Rainey (who was not present Tuesday, having been Called out of town by a death in his family) to get a report from the Planning'Division of the High way Department in Raleigh on the long-proposed access street from N.W. Broad St. via Midlo thian Road (a street on the map. but not opened) to Yadkin Road, near the Proctor-Silex and Trim- tale plants. The council agreed that if the project is approved by the Plan ning Department, opening and improvement of the road will be sought from the Highway Depart ment through application to the county commissioners.

Miss Miller has no close rela tives. There is a much younger hall sister in Connecticut. Some cousins from out of town were here for her reception, which v/as sponsored by the Town Council, at the school Sunday afternoon. Her father, R, A. Miller, lived here with her for three years be fore his death in 1950. She and Miss Chapman, a registered nurse, have made their home to gether for the past 12 years, six years at the present location at the corner of May St. and New York Ave. “If I hear those bells ringing over there for class periods, I don’t think I can resist them,” said Miss Miller at her home this week. “I’ll have to get up and go from one room to another every 57 minutes. I’ve been doing it so long.” Incredible, more persons have died on the highways than on our nation’s battlefields; more have ^ ^been injured in auto accidents in things from them, they usually all the world’s wars combined. «' ^7 J VR
