Medical Aid For
Aged Program To
Begin On July 1
The State Board of Public Wel
fare this week gave unanimous
approval to the proposed plan for
Medical Assistance for the Aged
(MAA) and implementation of the
program will be effective July 1.
State Commissioner of Public
Welfare R. Eugene Brown stated
that estimated cost of the pro
gram for 1964-65 is $2,507,000, of
which $1,880,000 will be Federal
funds. State funds will amount to
$313,380 and county funds will be
$313,380. It is estimated that the
average cost per case will be
$147.47.
The program will be adminis

of public welfare in the 100 coun

State Board of Public Welfare..
Services provided for persons

hospital out-patient care, and
dental care. It is anticipated that
the drug program will becorne
effective October 1.
Mrs. Walter B. Cole, Moore
County director of public wel
fare, said today that implementa
tion of the new program in Moore
County would cost an estimated
$3,350. Under the proposal, coun
ties pay about one-sixth of the
cost, the state one-sixth and the
rest of the cost is provided by
federal funds.
Mrs. Cole said that she has ask
ed the county commissioners to
authorize the employment of one
more case worker in the welfare
office, to handle the additional
work the Medical Aid program
would impose on the welfare de
partment and also to help lighten
the case load for other workers
which at present runs higher than
is recommended for full efficien
cy. She said she had not been in
formed whether this request

the year.”
Captain Horner was pleased to
say that “the morale of the unit

County Tops Blood
Quota For Year; 2
Collections Set
The good news that Moore
County met its Red Cross blood
donation quota, for the first time
in several years, in the program’s
operating year that ended last
week was announced this week
by J. R. Hauser of Southern
Pines, county blood program
chairman.
Also announced are two visits
of a bloodmobile to the county
next week:
At Carthage, Thursday.
July 2, 12 noon to 5:30 p.m.
at the elementary school cafe
teria.
At Southern Pines, Friday,
July 3, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
at St. Anthony's Catholic
School auditorium.
Mr. Hauser, expressing grati
tude to committees and donors
who made the past year’s
record possible—after the county
was threatened last fall with loss
of the service because of poor
support by donations—said that
1,454 pints of blood were given,
to surpass a quota of 1,429 pints.
Annual quotas are based on
amounts actually used in the two
hospitals of the county or by
Moore County residents in co
operating hospitals elsewhere, he
explained.
The chairman reported that 45
pints were collected in a stop of
the bloodmobile at West End last
Friday—the last collection of the
program’s year.
After next week’s collections
there will be no more in Moore
County until September, Mr.
Hauser noted.

The Aberdeen-West End Joint
School Committee this week in
vited the Southern Pines and
Pinehurst school districts to join
with the Aberdeen and West End
districts in a high school consoli
dation program under the county
school system.
Letters extending the invitation
and outlining the reasons for it
were sent by the committee—
Signed by Joe S. Lennon of Aber

McNeill of Aberdeen, secretary—
to Dr. C. C. McLean, chairman of
the Southern Pines board of ed
ucation and L. B. Creath, chair

education.
The Southern Pines and Pine
hurst districts are independent
“city” administrative units. Aber
deen and West End districts are
included in the Moore County
school system which administers
all schools of the county except
those in the two independent dis
tricts.
The Southern Pines and Pine
hurst boards of education an
nounced a few weeks ago their
intention to merge into a single
city district, if such a move is
approved by a vote of the people.
Spokesmen for the county
board of education of which Jere
McKeithen of Aberdeen is chair
man (R. E. Lee of Carthage is
county schools superintendent)
have for many years made it clear
that they would welcome South
ern Pines and Pinehurst as units
of the county school system.
Likewise, for many years, the
Southern Pines and Pinehurst
boards of education have period
ically stated that they want their
districts to remain independent.
An Aberdeen school official
said that this week’s invitation
from the joint committee was is
sued with the full approval and
agreement of the county board of
education.
The Aberdeen-West End Joint
School Committee is composed of
the committees of the Aberdeen
and West End school districts.

bers are appointed by the county

the morning of June 14. There
were girls from West End, San

working and planning for months
to make this trip. Mrs. Huntley
had previously planned every
minute of the sojourn.
At about noon, we reached oiu:

candidates are: H. Clifton Blue of
Aberdeen, who represented this

Assembly and was Speaker of the
House in the 1963 sessions, and
Robert W. (Bob) Scott of Haw

primary against heavy odds after
Scott showed unexpected
strength, state-wide, in the first
primary.
Both Moore and Preyer work

the precinct level in the second
primary campaign.
AN EDITORIAL
Preyer Is The Man
The second primary contest between Dan K. Moore and
Richardson Preyer, for the Democratic nomination for Governor,
has staunchly reinforced our conviction voiced before the May
30 voting: Preyer is the man to lead North Carolina and the
State’s Democratic party in the coming four years. We urge
readers to vote for him on Saturday.
The second primary campaign—a rugged testing ground for
any candid.ate—has offered a steadily mounting display of
Preyer’s strengths and Moore’s weaknesses. Consider these
points:
—No sooner were the returns in than Moore made a bid for
the racists in I. Beverly Lake’s camp, introducing a vicious
political technique that Lak j himself had even spurned in his
unsuccessful campaign.
—In courting Lake’s endorsement, Moore let Lake call the
tune to such an extent that he would go to Raleigh, if elected,
“expecting to seek Dr. Lake’s advice frequently,” and promising
an unknown number of appointments to Lake supporters.
Whatever part of Moore that was not already owned by the
lobbyists, a chain bank, power companies, highway equipment
manufacturers and road contractors was shared with Lake in
about as craven a capitulation as the political bargaining table
has seen in this state.
—So unsure was Moore of himself that he refused—dis
courteously and petulantly—to face his opponent and the people
of the state in a series of television debates proposed by Preyer,
justifying the widely held assumption that Moore had more to
hide than to reveal.
—The unsigned smear sheets featuring race, communism and
personal villification came from the Moore camp, whether with
or without the candidate’s knowledge is immaterial: he attracted
the sort of supporter who would use them.
And then these points, too:
—The stature that characterized Preyer, as judge and out
standing citizen, before he filed as a candidate, and that was
evident all through the first primary race has continued to rise,
rather than fall, during the second primary campaign. What we
mean is summed up in a paragraph from one of his TV ad
dresses: “I’m running for Governor because I think I can be
