Page EIGHT THE PII-Ol'—-Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1965 COLLEGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM DISCUSSED Council Moves To Relieve Traffic Hazards; Landfill Ordinance Heard A proposed ordinance for reg ulation of the town’s “sanitary landfill” disposal area on Mor- ganton Road, hazardous or unsat isfactory traffic conditions around and near the town and the sewage disposal plans of Sandhills Community College were among items discussed by the town council at its regular January meeting, Tuesday night. All councilmen were present: Mayor Norris L. Hodgkins, Jr. Mayor Pro Tem Fred Pollard and Councilmen Felton Capel, C. A. McLaughlin and Harry Pethick. Also on hand were Town Man ager F. F. Rainey, Town Attor ney W. Lament Brown and Mrs. Mildred McDonald, clerk to the board. The landfill ordinance drawn up by Attorney Brown met gen eral approval but adoption was deferred until the next meeting, to permit addition of a few clauses and for a discussion of the new law with the county sanitarian. Reason for the ordinance was the indiscriminate use of the gar bage and trash dumping areas by out-of-town residents, overtaxing the capacity of the facility. The new ordinance would pro hibit use of the area by out-of- town persons who have not com plied with its provisions, tenta tively set as payment of a $2 per month fee for individuals or a $5 per month fee for businesses, or $1 per load if a monthly charge is not paid. Manager Rainey esti mated the fees would bring in about $7,000 per year. The law would require dump ing in certain designated portions of the landfill and prohibit dumping explosives, inflammable liquids and dead animals larger than dogs. It was proposed Tues day that large metal objects such as car bodies not be permit ted for dumping by out of town residents, but be permitted for in-towners, in the interest of cleaning up the community. Scav enging and salvaging at the area would be prohibited. Also expected to be added is an anti-litter provision covering dumping of trash and garbage V prehend any speeders, near the curve. However, he will get in touch with State officials again, to urge placing a light, and will also, on a suggestion from the audience Tuesday night, discuss the speed ing problem with the provost marshal at Fort Bragg, as nearly all accidents have involved mili tary personnel. Also to be investigated in the next month by the manager, for report at the next meeting, is the status in State Highway plan ning, of the Morganton-May in tersection where, it is understood, the State has made some plans for redesigning that would eliminate hazards there—lack of visibilty, narrow road and other dangers. Morganton Road at this point is not a state-maintained road and various problems of right of way and location are involved, to get it on the state system. Also to be taken up with the state are two other matters: the timing of the stop light at the in tersection of S. W. Broad St. and Morganton Road where a longer green light for Morganton Road traffic would, the council agreed, be desirable; and a larger “one way” sign where one-way north bound traffic begins on S. W. Broad St., at the Massachusetts Ave. intersection. Councilman McLaughliii also recommended that the State be asked to keep the Morganton- S. W. Broad St. intersection free from sand which he said causes skidding and slipping wheels at that point. •; Highway Improvement'. The council directed that a res olution be prepared asking that No. 1 highway.! t;:?between the north end of the- local parkway and the end of ';double-laning work now going on south of San ford, be improved to extend dobule-lamng ail the way be tween the two communities. The action was taken on re quest of the Town Advertising Committee whose chairman, George Pottle, had addressed a letter to the mayor, recommend ing it and suggesting that the council’s resolution be sent to Fund Drives Start Collins Heading Cerebral Palsy Funds Campaign ii 1 I x'Mft <P' in the vicinity of the landfill, a| State Sen.-elect Voit Gilmore and practice which Councilman Capel [State Rep.-elect T. Clyde Auman, said has already created a bad situation in nearby areas in and adjoining West Southern Pines. Councilman McLaughlin sug gested that the county commis sioners be urged to prohibit dumping in areas outside of towns, to strengthen the provi sions of the local ordinance. A state law already covers dump ing on highway rights of way. Manager Rainey said that the special - contract clean-up of the landfill area, burying and dis posing of waste that had accumu lated there, was nearly completed and he received council approval for whatever action could be tak en in Raleigh. Sewage Problems Joseph M. Robinson, Jr., repre senting the Mill Creek Develop ment Corporation, appeared be fore the council to ask the town’s help in keeping clean Mill Creek, into which Sandhills Community College proposes to dump the ef fluent from a proposed sewage disposal plant, at a point below the town’s water supply lake but above a 76-acre residential de velopment, with lake that has al ready been built and is now fill ing up. Mr. Robinson said that the cor- for spending another $1,000 on getting rid of a “mess of stumps”, poration’s representatives had and other material, near the gate met with college officials and that the college has directed its engineers that alternate propos als to the Mill Creek disposal to the area.

Manager Rainey said the town has not heard from the college about the sewage proposal and that the college must get an easement from the town, to cross its property to reach the creek, in any case. Mr. Robinson also made a re quest to the town for obtaining city water at the development site and will take this matter up with the manager later.

Mrs. Levi Packard Succumbs At 88; Rites Held Today Mrs. Esther Tompkinson Pack ard, 88, of Pinebluff, wife of Levi Packard, died Monday night at Moore Memorial Hospital. Funeral services were held this (Thursday) afternoon at the Pinebluff Methodist Church, con ducted by the pastor, the Rev. Julian W. Scott, followed by burial in Pinebluff cemetery. Pallbearers were E. H. Mills, K. G. Deaton, (Elmore Smith, Pres ton Brooks, Edwin G. Adams, Sr., and John C. Adams, all of Pine bluff. Mrs. Packard and her husband', who at 94 is Pineblull’s oldest resident, were married there in June, 1917. He had settled there with his parents in 1888, coming from Argyle, N. Y., while she was the daughter of winter resi dents coming from Philadelphia, Pa. Her parents, Joseph and Julia Tompkinson, were natives of England. Until she lost her hearing in recent years, Mrs. Packard was active in community and church affairs, working with the Mater nal Welfare committee, the Lad ies’ Circle and other local organi zations. She was a member of the Pinebluff Home Demonstra tion Club for many years. Her husband and a brother, Samuel Tompkinson of Philadel phia, are her only immediate sur vivors. COLLEGE OFFICERS (Continued from Page 1) needed in the technical and trades program; business (secre tarial, typing and shorthand); and, for the technical and trades program, automotive mechanics, civil engineering and drafting. The faculty members will be employed on two levels, with top salaries going to those with Ph. D.’s or “substantial work beyond a master’s degree,” the lesser salary to those with a master’s degree in their teaching field, said Dr. Raymond Stone, presi dent of the college. The master’s degree is essential for full-time permanent faculty employment, except in special fields such as automotive mechan ics, when experience would be more important than college de grees, also for persons employ ed on a part-time or temporary basis, perhaps to teach one or two specific courses. It is anticipated that such spec ial instructors can be found as needed in the local area, he said. Regulations Set The trustees set regulations concerning vocation, cumulative sick leave and other items, such as hospitalization, life insurance and payroll deduction, also staff holidays through the year (New Years, Easter Monday, Independ ence Day, Labor Day, Thanks giving and Christmas) to coincide with those in other State employ ment. Permanent employees also have state retirement benefits. Citizens Bank Reports Rise In All Activities Substantial increases in all phases of the bank’s activity were reported to the stockhold ers of The Citizens Bank & Trust Co. by N. L. Hodgkins, president, at the annual meet ing Tuesday, in the Hollywood Hotel. Highlights of the President’s report included increases in aver age deposits of 13.5 per cent and average loans of 13.7 per cent, during 1964. Operating earnings rose from $2.74 per share in 1963 to $3.10 in 1964, he said. Directors were reelected for the year 1965 and include D. A. Blue, Jr., Dr. Joseph S. Hiatt, Jr., James D. Hobbs, N. L. Hodg kins, Norris L. Hodgkins, Jr., 3 PERSONS HURT (Continued from Page 1) The physician took emergency measures, ligating the severed artery, and binding the patient’s head. Following a short period of rest, she was taken to her home. According to the doctor’s re port, Mrs. Caddell has made a good recovery, “but it was a near thing,” he said. “If no one had happened to be passing and to have seen her, there’s no telling Foundation Asks Contribulioils To Combat Arthritis Residents of Moore County are receiving letters from Mrs. K. A. McLeod of Candor, area chair man for the North Carolina Ar thritis Foundation at Chapel HiU, asking contributions for a state and national attack on arthritis, “the great crippler.” Mrs. Mary W. Scott, widow of the former N. C. governor and senator, Kerr Scott, is honorary chairman of the North Carolina chapter and, in a letter to The Pilot, writes, in part: “Arthritis afflicts some 12,000,000 Americans and over 200,000 folks in North Carolina. Our organization sup ports research seeking the cause or causes of arthritis and a cure. We also conduct programs of pdblic and professional educa tion. All of our work is solely de pendent on public support. . .” The Arthritis Foundation, na tion-wide, has officially taken over the arthritis programs for merly included in the work of the National Foundation—March of Dimes, thus concentrating this effort in one organization.

She will probably be out of the hospi tal in a few days. On Friday of last week, Carl Bradshaw, co-owner of the Clark and Bradshaw Service Station on N. W. Broad St., received severe eye injuries and also a hand in jury when he was struck by a metal object that fle'w off a wheel balancing machine turning at high speed. A patient at Moore Memorial Hospital, to which he was rushed in a Southern Pines police car that happened to be passing at the time of his injury, he was reported yesterday to be making a satisfactory recovery, according to the attending physician. Mr. Bradshaw’s home is on the West End road, out of Pinehurst. His wife is employed by Pinehurst, Inc. In cooperation with the Teach er Training Program at St/ An drews Presbyterian College, Lau- rinburg, the East Southern Rines School will assist in training three student teachers during the spring quarter, Supt. J. W^ Jen kins announced this week. The student teachers will work directly under the supervision of three local teachers and ■will be supervised periodically by a rep resentative of the college. Their work here will begin April 5. The three student teachers are: Miss Janie C. McLeave, Chester, S. C.; Miss Sandra G. McLees, Anderson, S. C.; and Miss Mary Louise Robertson, Englewood, N. J. All three are seniors at the college. Any local resident who has liv ing quarters available for one or more of the student teachers,, during their stay in Southern Pines, is asked to call the super intendent. Harold Collins of Southern Pines has been named general chairman of Moore County for United Cerebral Palsy of North Carolina. The appointment was announced today by Hector Mc Lean of Lumberton, 1965 State Carnpaign Chairman. United Cerebral Palsy’s an nual “53 Minute March” docu ments the fact that cedebral pal sy-strikes on an average of every 53 minutes somewhere in the na- tiorl. The chairman said that cer ebral palsy is a condition which affects 600,000 persons in the United States, caused by damage to the motor centers of the brain. ' The help provided by the UCP affiliate includes diagnostic, treatment and counselling ser- Vides, he explained. In addition, 25 ' cents of every dollar contrib uted goes to a national research program to discover the causes of cerebral palsy and to develop a preventive or cure. Announced by Mr. Collins as working with the fund campaign in Moore County are: Mrs. Dan McNeill, drive chairman; Mrs. Peggy Prime, coordinator; Mrs. Vivien McKenzie, treasurer; Dr. L( B. Daniel, Jr., medical ad visor; Mrs. Alfred Derouin and Mrs. W. T. Huntley, assistants for Girl Scout participation; and Mr. and Mrs. Tony Trentini, service planning team. TIME TO THINK Once a car is stuck, or skids out of control, it’s often too late. The time to do some serious thinking about the inadequate traction problem is before some thing happens. Smart drivers, in cluding those who prefer snow tires, always carry reinforced tire chains in the trunk and use them when needed to avoid causing dangerous traffic blockades. MID TOWN GROUP (Continued from Page 1) by Town Manager F. F. Rainey of Southern Pines who said that the town now offers fire protec tion to any resident within four miles of the local fire depart ment, on payment of an annual fee of 20 cents per $100 of prop erty valuation and that Southern Pines would be willing to share with Aberdeen protection of property in the Mid Town area. Upshot of the discussion was that the Mid Town group voted to set up a committee to meet with representatives of Southern Pines and Aberdeen, to compare advantages and disadvantages of the two methods of approaching the Mid Town fire protection problem. Membership of the committee was not immediately chosen. Before the alternate proposal was made, the group had heard Clyde Auman of West End, State Rep.-elect from Moore County, describe operation of the West End Fire District which has been fully organized on a pattern pro posed for the Mid Town area. Also speaking were Ed Lanier, N. C. commissioner of insurance; Sherman Pickert, director of the Fire and Rescue Service or N. C.; and Charles P. Adcox of the N. C. Fire Rating Bureau. They ex plained aspects of' the proposed district organization bearing on the fields in which they are offi cials. Representatives of the Aber deen Fire Department were pres ent, but made no specific pro posals as to Aberdeen’s role in the cooperative plan proposed by Town Manager Rainey.

Parents must try to direct, lead and discipline children. Chief Seawell noted. When questioned about possible harmful effects of TV violence on children, he said that parents should turn off the TV if they think it is harmful. “Taking away things children shouldn’t have is a part of their training,” he added. The county needs a combined domestic relations and juvenile court, the chief said, with a pro bation officer to go into homes and help solve the many prob lems in these fields. Welfare De partment workers don’t have time to follow up on school tru ancy cases, he noted, and some times the women case workers are afraid to go into some of the homes with which they have to deal. “The children of today wjll be. the leaders of tomorrow and we should make every effort tO see -flr—I MIRHEAD'S !*HOUS 1 $INC|- 1824 town service, as does Southern' that they have a town to be Pines, but the Aberdeen firemen proud of,” Chief Seawell con do answer out-of-town calls.
