In the golf shop, which has also been completely redone, golf eauinment and apparel is at tractively displayed. The Fair ways will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily except Sunday. Adjoining the fairways, with entrance from Pee Dee Road, is Knollwood Village, also being built by Mr. Pitts. The planned residential area, on which three homes have been completed and a fourth begun, runs parellel to the third and fourth holes of the “long nine” golf course. The resi dential area was designed so that interference from golfers would be at a minimum. There are 15 lots for single family dwellings. Construction of three multi unit apartment buildings, which will form a U-shape around a swimming pool, is now under way. The three two-story build ings will provide 45 apartment units varying in size from studio units to a four bedroom, three bath apartment. Each of the apartments will have a built-in kitchen and may be rented fur nished or unfurnished according to individual requirements. Coon said last week that he ex pects Knollwood Village to be completed in about six months. Local police are looking for two young women who worked a clas sic flimflam, or “old drop” pock- etbook game, on another woman last Thursday morning, to the tune of nearly $2,700. All were Negroes. This is what happened, accord ing to the police report: Mary Elizabeth Russell, 32, of Pinehurst said she was stopped on the 100 block of North West Broad St. about 10 a.m. by a young woman, neatly dressed, a stranger, who asked her for di rections. As they talked, another young woman, also a neatly dtessed stranger, came up with a pocket- book she claimed to have just found. They looked inside and caught an exciting glimpse of much paper money. The second woman asked the others to wait while she went off and asked her “boss” what to do with it. When she came back she said her boss had taken out some “bonds and told her to “divide up the rest, with the other two girls —first making sure they were ‘worthy people” who would know how to Mrs. Phillips, 94, Of Cameron, Dies Mrs. Mary Sessoms Phillips, 94, widow of R. J. Phillips, of Cam eron, Route 1 died today (Thurs day) at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Funeral services will be held at 11 a. m. Friday at Cool Springs Methodist Church near Carthage, conducted by the Rev. Harvey Johnson of Sanford, assisted by the pastor, the Rev. C. A. Young, Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Albert K. Johnson of Cameron, Route 1, one grandchild and three gre^t-grandchildren. COUNTY SYSTEM Schedules For Consolidation Of Sehools Set handle money, since it would come to about $3,000 each. The first stranger showed her own pocketbook filled with mon ey, received her “cut” and left. To get her share, Mary Elizabeth Russell was supposed to show what she was “worth and went to both the Southern National Bank here and Carolina Bank in Pinehurst to draw out her sav ings—$2,647.20. Her new friend then insisted that the Pinehurst woman per sonally call up that same “boss’ at a street pay telephone, giving her the number to call and hold cash-filled pocketbook while^she did so. A man answered and while Mary Elizabeth was speak ing with him, the other woman walked off with her pocketbook and quickly disappeared. Mary Elizabeth spent several hours looking for the women be fore she reported the loss to po lice Thursday night. She could not explain how it all happened “They talked so fast and got me all confused,” she said. The SBI is helping with the in vestigation but few “flimflam- ers” are ever caught. Warnings are issued annually by law en forcement officers of the area, around tobacco-selling time, for this is the time when the trick sters seem to flourish the most and with the greatest success. TOWN WINS (Continued from Page 1) considerable credit for making this award possible,” Harris said last week. “Since the national pedestrian safety program was started in 1939, pedestrian fatalities have dropped from 15,000 to 8,300 last year, a reduction of 46 per cent, even though the population in creased 50 per cent and motor vehicle travel jumped almost 200 per cent.” Southern Pines received this same award in 1961, but did not the following year because of one pedestrian death. In making the award, Harris stated there is no room for com placency, because the downward trend in pedestrian deaths, evi dent since the beginning of the AAA program, reversed itself in 1962 and deaths are still on the increase. Harris declined to be pessimis tic about the increase in pedestri an fatalities last year, although this is the second year for an in crease in such deaths. He stress ed that the figure tends to fluctu ate from year to year, and the 8,- 300 total of last year makes, a startling contrast to the 15,000 25 years ago. New Program On WEEB Reports Area Football A new sports program featur ing interviews, game results, play by play action and com ments is heard each Saturday morning at 10:05 on WEEB. The program is both live and taped in parts and is produced by Joel Stutts and Lou Savage. Ricky Johnson and Eddie Johnson were interviewed live by Stutts last week as the pro gram featured highlights of the Southern Pines-Littlefield game. The Union Pines-Ellerbe game will be covered this week. Volunteer Workers Go To VA Hospital Spending Tuesday at the Vet erans Hospital, Fayetteville, were Mrs. Eliza McDonald, Mrs. Allie Rose and Mr. and Mrs. Dan Mc Neill, all representatives of the volunteer hospital workers of the Southern Pines American Legion Auxiliary unit. At noon, the McNeills were shown through Peace Presbyteri an Church by former Sandhills residents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Swink. The group then lunched together at the Methodist College cafeteria. There is preserved in the Brit ish Museum an almanac which dates back 1,200 years before the birth of Christ. DEMOCRATS (Continued from Page 1) of the Sandhills Community Col lege, as an unannounced and im promptu speaker, described what Democratic leadership of state and nation has meant in the world of education, and also to himself personally as one devo ting his life to education. Others speaking briefly on be half of Democratic campaign action included T. Clyde Auman of West End, candidate for the N. C. House from Moore County, and T. Roy Phillips of Carthage, member of the Moore County Board of Education. J. Elvin Jackson, Moore Dem ocratic chairman, presiding, said the meeting was one of a series of rallies being sponsored by the Democratic executive committee during the campaign weeks. He presented the county candi dates, nearly all of whom were present, and Mrs. Carolyn Blue, Moore YDC president and candi date for the post of state YDC national committeewoman. Members of the Vass precinct committee served as hosts at the meeting and the social gathering which followed. Boys Can Still Sign For Football Contest Registration is continuing at Jackson Motors for the “Punt, Pass and Kick” competition for boys 8-13 years old, to be held at Memorial Field, Saturday, October 10.

With Union Pines, the Area I consolidated high school, now en and operating, the Moore County Board, of Education has moved quickly toward building and opening the Area II and Area III schools, thus completing schedule for the consolidation of nine high schools of the county system. This system includes all schools of the county except those in the separate Southern Pines and Pinehurst units. Plans call for the Area II (North Moore) school to be open ed in September, 1965, and the Area III (as yet unnamed) school to be opened in September, 1966. T. Boy Phillips and Mrs. John L. Frye, of the county board of education, Supt. Robert E. Lee, Assistant Supt. C. E. Powers and architect W. C. Howell of Hayes- Howell & Associates, last Friday approved and accepted the gra ding of the Area II site between Robbins and Highfalls. While they were there, the first truck- load of steel arrived, preliminary to the start of actual construction this week by the Kerns Construc- toin Co. of Greensboro. The con tract allows 330 working days to complete the building. On recently receiving the ap proval of the State Board of Ed ucation on the consolidation of Aberdeen and West End High Schools in Area III, the board adopted a schedule for this school, the first step of which has already been taken. This was the taking up of the option and ac tual purchase of the site on the Pinehur.st - Airnort Road, which was effected about two weeks ago. The rest of the schedule, pre sented by Supt. Lee after confer ring with architect T. T. Haves, calls for Hayes to bring the first working drawings to the board meeting of next Tuesday, Sep tember 29; completion of prelim- inarv plans in October: accepting of bids for grading, November; completion of working drawings, December; acceptance of bids for construction. January, 1965; start of construction, February 1965; and completion of construction, Mav 1966. Fifteen months is allowed for the completion of this building, which will be a considerably larger school than North Moore. Aberdeen is the fastest growing unit of the county system, said Supt. Lee, noting that “we plan to build a school large enough to take care of natural growth in that area fo rsome years into the future.” Teachers In Adult Education Project Urgently Needed The Lee County Industrial Ed ucation Center is planning cours es in Basic Adult Education which will be offered to adults in Lee County and surrounding areas. The program is specifically designed to help those people with less than an eighth grade education. It is planned to begin these courses as soon as a corps of teachers can be trained and hired. W. A. Martin, president of the Education Center, said that teachers are urgently needed for this learning program. Require ments are that those interested in jobs as teachers have a baccalau reate degree and preference will be given to applicants with pre vious teaching experience. How ever, any person desiring a teach ing job will be considered for employment if that person holds a recognized bachelor’s degree. Arrangements have been made with the Board of Fundamental Education, producers of the Fam ily Fonics learning system, to hold a teacher training institute in the near future. Persons in terested in attending this train ing institute are asked to con tact Shepard Rice, director of In struction at the Education Cen ter. The length of the training session is three days. The entire program will be operated under the Division of Adult Education and Community Services of the North Carolina Department of ■ Community Col leges. Leaverne's^^rill Midland Road .
