Sanford Firm’s
Plea For Branch
Here Is Denied
A resolution of the Federal
Home Loan Board in Washing
ton, D. C., made public here this
week, disapproves the applica
tion of the First Federal Savings
and' Loan Association of Sanford
to establish a branch office at
the corner of S.W. Broad St. and
Wisconsin Ave., in Southern
Pines.
No reason for the action was
given in the formal resolution,
which was dated June 29, other
than that “it is determined that
there is no necessity for the
branch office in the community
to be served.”
The Sanford association made
application to the Board for the
proposed branch office last year
and purchased a lot across Wis
consin Ave. from the S. W. Broad
St. office of the Citizens Bank
and Trust Company.
A hearing officer for the board
heard testimony for and against
the proposal at a hearing in
Washington last December 19.
When the Sanford association
announced that it was applying
for permission to open a branch
here, it stated that it has numer
ous borrowers and depositors in
this area.
The Southern Pines Savings
and Loan Association and the
Aberdeen Savings and Loan As
sociation opposed the application
on the grounds that they can
adequately serve the lending and
savings needs of this area. Both
the associations were represented
at the Washington hearing.

COMMISSIONERS, TRUSTEES HAVE MEETING
College Finance Problem Discussed
An estimate of enrollment at
Moore’s Community College at
least 50 per cent higher than
previously foreseen, with the lik-
lihood that a larger plant than
had been planned should be built
at the beginning, was presented
to the county commissioners Mon
day by the college board of
trustees.
Chairman H. Clifton Blue of
the college board told the com
missioners that presmt trends
Checkers Tournament
For Youngsters Set
Children six through 12 years
of age who want to take part in
a checkers tournament, in con
nection with the summer recrea
tion program on the park block,
are asked to sign up by tomorrow
(Friday) with Miss Sandra Fitz-
gibbons who is at the park daily.
A schedule for the tournament
will be prepared over the week
end and play will begin Monday,
to last through most of next week.
Miss Fitzgibbons said.
indicate an enrollment of 600,
rather than 400. With contract
letting time approaching, it ap
peared that adequate facilities
would cost $1,500,000 instead of
the $1,000,000 for which bonds
had been voted, he said.
It is expected all the money
will be available, since the State
has pledged $500,000 from surplus
funds, if there is a surplus, and
it is expected there will be one,
to be announced before the end
of this month. The problem, said'
Blue, is that, when the county
bonds were voted last fall “the
people were advised that, if the
State’s half million was available,
the county would be called upon
to issue only $500,000 rather than
the full million in bonds.
“We want to lay our cards on
the table and talk frankly with
you county commissioners, just
as we want to talk frankly with
the people. It’s the people’s col
lege. We are only trustees for the
people as well as the college.
“The question is: Should we
limit ourselves—and when I say
ourselves, I mean the people of
Theatre Policy Changes; Negroes Enter Without Incident
• TViA Snnri<!fi TVlOQ+T'sa Vioro nrxnxr Cfart+i r^tr, « ^4-: A T i
The Sunrise Theatre here,
which in recent weeks had been
the scene of several demonstra
tions by Negroes who were each
time denied admittance, relaxed
its racial segregation policy Fri
day, the day after the Civil Rights
Act was signed into law by Presi
dent Johnson.
Four Negroes, a young man
and three young women, were
admitted to tne theatre without
incident Wednesday night. They
sat where they chose and patro
nized the concession stand in the
lobby.
Robert Dutton, manager, said
late Wednesday afternoon that
up to that time two cnildren had
been the only Negroes patronizing
the theatre. Five adult Negroes
were not admitted, he said, on
Thursday of last week, the day
the bill was signed by the Presi
dent, but the new policy went
into effect Friday.
The theatre had formerly ad
mitted Negroes only to the bal
cony section, a practice against
which protests had been directed
by local Negro civil rights leaders.
Dutton said that ticket prices
in the downstairs portion of the
theatre were raised' 10 cents,
simultaneously with starting the
new admittance policy—from 65
cents to 75 cents for adults and
from 25 cents to 35 cents for
children. The former “student”
ticket (50 cents) has been abolish
ed, he said. Balcony prices re
main at 50 cents for adults and
20 cents for children, with the
balcony open to both white and
Negro patrons.
In a conference here earlier this
year, with members of the town
council and the Good Neighbor
Council—the local bi-racial group
that considers and attempts to
mediate racial grievances—Char
les B. Trexler of Charlotte, of
the Stewart & Everett theatre
chain which owns the Sunrise,
had pledged to integrate the
theatre, if and when the Civil
Rights Act became law.
Largely through efforts of the
Good Neighbor Council over the
past year, most of the restaurants,
hotels, and recreation establish
ments in the Southern Pines area
have been accepting Negro pa
trons for some time.
In several reports to the town
council, the Good Neighbor Coun
cil, of which Dr. Julian Lake,
Presbyterian minister, is chair
man, has also noted that indus
trial and retail firms of the area
have been taking Negro applica
tions for jobs and have been em
ploying Negroes, when qualified.
No racial incidents were re
ported elsewhere in this area,
following the rights bill signing,
except at a grill near Robbins
where, as reported in another
story today, two white youths
reportedly attacked two young
Negroes who ordered' food and
were served. The white men were
later arrested, on warrants sworn
out by the Negroes.

Valley Forge, Pa.
Seven scouts from troops 223

close of the Jamboree on July 24.
