PAGE EIGHT THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1965 Council Grants In-Town Water, Sewer Rate As Asked By Community College Sandhills Community College will install a sewer line from the college to connect with the town’s sewer system, it was re vealed at the regular meeting of the town council Tuesday night when the council approved, on request of the college, the grant ing of in-town water and sewer rates to the college. Present to back up the request were H. Clifton Blue of Aber deen, chairman of the college trustees and Dr. Raymond A. Stone, president of the institution which is under construction on the Pinehurst-Airport road. They both expressed appreciation of the council’s action. The college’s decision to link up with the town’s sewer system had been worked out with town officials prior to the meeting. At last month’s council meeting, ob jections had been made by rep resentatives of the Mill Creek Development company to the col lege’s former plan to build a sew age disposal plant on Mill Creek, above the company’s lake and proposed housing development. The company had employed an engineer who estimated that the college could build a line to the town’s sewer system more economically than it could con struct and operate a disposal plant. Investigation proved this correct, it was reported. The re quest for the in-town water and sewer rate then followed. The council’s action requires an amendment to the water-rate ordinance, granting the lower rate to any out - of - town tax- supported institution. Zoning Proposal The council discussed a pro posed resolution asking for a special act of the General Assem bly that would give Southern Pines power to zone property outside the city limits for various usages. What the town wants is a spe cial act that would allow zoning beyond the one mile specified in the state-wide act from which Moore County is now erompt, even of the General Assemibly re moves this exemption. The pro posal considered Tuesday night would extend the zoning power two and half miles in all direc tions, except toward Aberdeen in which direction it would go halfway to that community. How ever, during discussion, it was determined it might be advisable to ask for power to zone some what further at some points, in cluding all the way to the Fort Bragg line on the east and to in clude all pf the airport property on the north. The college site would be included in the two and a half mile proposal. Also entering the discussion was a proposal by J. E. Harring ton, Jr., who was present, rep- senting Pinehurst, Inc., that Pinehurst act jointly with the town in the request, possibly ex tending the area to include all the area between here and Pine hurst and also all of Pinehurst and its adjacent areas. The council left these matters to be worked out, while expect ing to forward the proposal as soon as possible to Moore Coun ty’s legislators, Sen. Voit Gilmore and Rep. Clyde Auman Local Zoning The council set a public hear ing for the next meeting on March 9, on the Planning Board’s recommendation that N.W. Broad Street, between Vermont nad Rhode Island Aves., be changed from residential to “Business II’’ designation, to a depth of 200 feet. The change was requested by Mrs. Betty Dowd, who wants to open a beauty shop in the area, and C. S. Patch who owns property there. Water Needs Survey The council voted to spend up to $1,000 for engineering infor mation that would guide them in dealing with Aberdeen and' Car thage in a proposed linking of the water system of the three communities. Under the proposal, Southern Pines would buy raw water from Carthage’s Chandler’s Pond and sell treated water to both Aber deen and Carthage. What the council wants to know now is exactly what the three-town plan would cost and what Southern Pines will have to charge the other towns for water service. In view of these potential water department expenses, the council backed off Tuesday night from a proposed engineering sur vey of street needs, noting that some of the desired information may be included in a $2,500 com munity planning survey for which the council has already contracted with this division of the state C & D department. Cable Television Request The council received its fourth ^quest for a cable television franchaise that would permit operation of a central television antenna system in which signals of superior clarity would be sent by cable to homes or other loca tions contracting for the service. John'M. Bigbee, vice president and chief engineer of the United Telephone Company of the Car- olinas, which has its headquarters here, presented the company’s proposal that it operate such a system to serve Southern Pines, Pinehurst and Aberdeen. No franchise rate was propos ed by Mr. Bigbee, pending furth er stud'y of cost factors. He said the service would provide 10 commercial channels, the educa tional TV channel from Chapel Hill and another channel for news, weather and background music, if desired. He said the company has em ployed communications consult' ing engineers, to aid it with the project and noted advantages the phone company has in poles al ready in place and other equip ment and personnel it can use to provide the cable TV service more economically. He said' the company is prepared to begin work on the project soon and ^at completion would be in six to nine months thereafter. The coimcil took no action and expects to study aU proposals. Civil Defense Report Col. Alfred M. Koster, Mobre County and Southern Piner Civil Defense director, reported to''the council on a CD meetiri^'held recently in Sanford, apd' review ed Moore County and Jobai pro gress in providing puhlic. shelter spaces, and other CD projects, in cluding a 200y-bed complete emergency hospital, now in stor age at the airport. Deaton Bound Over To Superior Court On Chaise Of Killing Wife; Bond Set Virgil Pearl Deaton, 54, of Robbins, Route 2, was bound over Monday for trial at the April term of Moore superior court on a charge of murder in the shotgun slaying of his wife, Emily, 48, the night of January 31. Judge J. Vance Rowe, presi ding in Moore County Recorder’s Court at Carthage, noted that he found no evidence of first degree murder. While not specifying the degree on which he found prob able cause at the hearing, he set bond of $7,500 for the defendant. On a first-degree murder charge, no bond would be allowed. Deaton, a rangy six-footer with greying hair, testified that he had no intention of shooting his wife when he took the gun from its rack, but meant only to “scare her.” He said he did not know the gun, a 12-gauge single-barrel which he had purchased only the day before, was loaded. He said the two had been ar guing, that his wife “came at him” with an open knife and that, when he grabbed the gun, she snatched at the barrel. They tusseled over it and it discharged into her upper chest on the right side. Three of their children, aged 11, ejght and six, who were asleep, were awakened by the blast and saw their mother die Deaton said he left the children and went to surrender to “the law” at nearby Robbins. He was arrested south of Robbins when his car skidded and stalled on ic0. Deputy Sheriff Mrs. Bassett,, Of Connecticut, Dies Friends here have been in formed of the death on January 11, in Connecticut, of Mrs. Lou ise Bassett, a former winter vis itor to Southern Pines for many years. Mrs. Bassett and her hus band, J. Walter Bassett, were both residing at the Masonic Re tired Persons Home, Wallingford, Conn., where he continues to make his home. Mr. and Mrs. Bassett regularly visited Southern Pines until about two years ago. Mr. Bassett first came to the area about 70 years ago. I. D. Marley testified a closed knife was found on the floor, near the bed where Mrs. Deaton died, Marley said that Nancy, the Deaton’s 11- year-old daughter, told him she had picked up the knife and clos ed it after the father drove away, lest one of the younger children cut his foot Marley revealed also Nancy’s description of her mother’s death, which occurred within about five minutes after the shooting. Nancy told him her mother was sitting on the edge of the bed, with blood on her chest, when the suddenly-awak ened children ran to her. She told them, “Your father has shot me, I’m dying,” and asked them to kiss her. All three of them did. She asked Nancy to bring her a drink of water, which the child did, and the mother sipped the water. Nancy helped her to more comfortable position on the bed, then the mother, with no further word, lay back and died as they watched her, according to the testimony, Also testifying at the hearing was Robbins Police Chief D. B Cranford, first to arrive on the scene. Deaiton said the argument arose from what he termed un founded jealousy on his wife’ part, as she accused him of hav ing an interest in a younger woman. The family includes seven other children, most of them grown and married. One of the grown daughters is caring for the three motherless youngsters.

Plans were scaled down and a bond issue vote was held, which the people turned down. With only $73,000 in the coun ty’s reserve fund for the build ing, the Farm Bureau determined that a basic agricultural build ing could be constructed within this amount, leaving off the li brary and also cutting out such features as an auditorium, desir ed for farmers’ meetings. Meet ings will continue to be held in the courtroom, with smaller gath erings in the home demonstration kitchen. Working closely with the ar chitectural firm of Hayes & How ell of Southern Pines, the Farm Bureau and other agricultural agencies, along with the commis sioners, reached agtreement on the plans. Ground was broken last spring and the simple but at tractive and efficient building to be dedicated Monday is the re sult. guished guests representing in- ested agencies: Grover Dobbins and Mrs. Myrle Swicegood, Dis trict Extension agents; Herbert Carter, district ASCS field di rector; Thomas H. Sears, area FHA supervisor, and L. W. Dam- eron, area conservationist. The building represents the culmination of plans and efforts initiated by the Moore County Farm Bureau in 1957, when it adopted a resolution concerning the need for such a building and presented it to the county com missioners. The commissioners, recognizing the need, planned to combine the building with a county library, also badly need ed. They started building up a reserve fund, which however, had to be tapped for other uses from time to time. Cost estimates ran Life School. This tract is entirely wooded, has an excellent site for a one and one-half-acre pond, and will be used for recreation. Farmers recently signing appli cations for assistance from the District include J. Melvin Thomas, Route 1, Cameron; Alex ander H. Thomas, Cameron; Ern est Evans, Vass; and Thomas J. Howe, Pinebluff. J. Melvin Thomas purchased about 72 acres of cut-over timber land and plans to convert most of it to pasture. About 18 acres of it have been cleared and 10 acres seeded to pasture. Alex Thomas purchased the J. M. Marion farm and plans to construct a six acre lake and improve wildlife habitat for doves and quail. The old Pinebluff Dairy farm was purchased some time ago by Thomas J. Howe. Mr. Howe plans to plant a pine windbreak around the entire farm. Another interesting feature of Mr. Howe’s plan is to separate pasture and hayland with a wild life strip which will also serve as a windbreak. An old wire fence in need of repair will be planted to pyracantha and a 14-16 foot strip of shrub lespedeza planted alongside. Both plants will provide food and cover for quail and songbirds. The thorny pyracantha will act as a barrier or substitute for the wire fence, and be beautiful and very bene ficial. Biologists report finding in a multiflora rose “living fence’’ over 40 kinds of insects beneficial to the farmer, such as the Lady Beetle, Praying Mantis and Paper Shell Wasp. A professional grand larcenist, wanted in two states, was amst- ed here last week through the quick wits of a motel employee and prompt action of local police. He was just about to conunit another larceny when caught. Registering as Richard Stear- man, with Tulsa, Okla., address, neatly dressed and imobtrusive in appearance, he was checked in routinely Wednesday night at the Holiday Inn on a reservation from the Raleigh unit. Don Walter of the Holiday Inn staff, checking registrations later, noted the name as one he had seen in confident ial bulletin, put out by the motel chain, reporting that Stearman had' stolen a television set from the Holiday Inn at Topeka, Kansas. Investigating, Walter found that the description in the flier fitted both the new guest and his 1965 white Impala fastback. He called police. Chief Earl Sea- well and Sgt. L. D. Beck found Stearman in his room, in which he had already disconnected the television with a screwdriver and pliers he had brought with him. Admitting he was the wanted g person, the man gave the name Eugene Bartow Dickinson as his real one, with Stearman one of several aliases he used. Topeka authorities were notifi ed, and information was received that the man was wanted also in Tulsa, where he had rented the Impala from the Hertz agency January 3 for the afternoon, fail ing to report back later. Jailed here while awaiting the fugitive warrant, Dickinson, who waived extradition, talked freely to police. He said he was raised in Buffalo, N. Y., had lived in Pennsylvania, Florida and other states and now had no permanent address. , , „ He told Chief Seawell he had served four prison terms in three states for grand larceny, mostty auto theft, and while bumming across the county during January had stolen several television sets and sold them. His last honest job, he said, was driving a Salva tion Army truck for $28 per week. Officers from Topeka picked him up Sunday. The local Hertz agency reclaimed the car.

Teacher Explains Foreign Language Learning Methods NOW BEING SOUGHT Man Taken From Jail To Hospital, Leaves Next Day LONG DISTANCE CALLS $1 Phone Rate Hours Extended; $1,50 Rate New County officers are searching for Edward Clark Patterson, Jr., 26, of Vass, Route 2, who was taken to Moore Memorial Hospi tal from Moore County jail at Carthage last Friday night on suspicion of acute appendicitis, and walked out of the hospital without leave the following night. He has not been located since that time. Patterson had been arrested Tuesday night of last week on charges arising from the break- in and robbery of Westbrook’s Market, and was being held in Reductions in long distance telephone rates within certain new hours, and extention of the hours in which calls can be made at the same reduced rate as that formerly allowed, became effec tive February 1, it was announc ed this week by Fred Teeter, marketing supervisor of United Telephone Company of the Car- olinas, which serves Southern Pines, Pinehurst and other areas of Moore County. The same changes apply throughout the nation, he said, including other companies ope rating in this area. Before February 1, it was possible to make a three-rninute, station-to-station long distance call anywhere in the continental United States for $1 or less, be tween 9 p.m. and 4:30 a.m., Mon day through Friday. Under the changed regulations, such a call can now be made from 8 p.m. until 4:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, and also all day on Sunday. The Sunday privilege is new, while the week-day pri vilege add's an hour to the calling period each night. There is also a new $1.50 rate on this type of call, applying to all Saturday calls and to calls placed any evening of the week, between 6 and 8 p.m. All times are based on the time zone in which the call orig inates, Mr. Teeter explained. Summing up the changes, he said, “This will tend to encourge the use of long distance facilities between 8 p.m. and 4:30 a.m., to The advantage of starting for eign language studies in elemen tary school and modern methods of language instruction were, ex plained and demonstrated by Dr. Jose Infante, Spanish instructor in the East Southern Pihes schools, at a Parent-Teacher As sociation meeting in Weaver A.U- ditorium Monday night. In the business session of tbe meeting, members elected, a nominating committee—Mrs, Voit Gilmore, Mrs. R. M. McMillan and Mrs. Dante Montesanti—to bring in a slate of officers. Elec tion will be held at the April meeting and the 1965-66 officers' will be installed at the May meet ing. With a sample “class” of 10 elementary school students 6n the stage, some of whom had had no previous experience , with Spanish, Dr. Infante showed how vocal drills, diagrams and tapq recordings can arouse the intert est of students and lead with amazing rapidity to comprehen sion and correct pronunciation. As a special feature. Miss Ruth Townsend, Girl Scout field di rector for this area of the Pines of Carolina Council, said that there are eight troops, with a membership of about 175 girts in the Southern Pines area, aver aging two adult leaders per troop, as well as adult members of troop committees and others in the program. She said that Girl Scouting is trying to, give the girls “character, moral stand ards, flexibility and courage, to live as you would want them to live.” She thanked PTA members for their support of Girl Scout ing. Mrs. Robert Leland, prop-am chairman, introduced Dr. Infan te and Miss Townsend. Mfs. J. Hiatt, Jr., president, preside Plans are being made to begin teaching of Spanish in the ele mentary grades of the local school in the next school year. At an early age. Dr. Infante said, a child can turn from one language to another without con fusion and the new approach to teaching is particularly effective with them, he said. This approach recognizes that “a linguistic system must be cre ated in the brain,” so that g for eign language is learned and comprehended like one’s native language, rather than being niade a compartmentalized, separate thinking exercise in grammar, as under the older, conventional teaching method. Habit formation and automatic reaction play a big part in lan guage process and the new meth ods encourage these, he said, BLOOD COLLECTION (Continued from Page 1) every effort be made to make up the .deceit, so that the program would, rUOt be threatened with witlidrawal as it was late in 1963.“ The’ county’s quota is based on the amount of blood actually us ed by hospital patients, he ex plained. Red Cross blood is free except for a small handling charge, but patients are asked to obtain pledges of donors to re place the amount of blood used. Lagging of the program is stiU largely due to the failure to make good' on these pledges, Mr. Haus er said, asking that all persons who have made pledges, no mat ter hbw long ago, try to visit the toobdmobile at one of its locations next week. jail, to await preliminary hearing Monday in Moore Recorder’s Court. He became ill while in jail, a physician was called and had him admitted to the hospital. When arrested, Patterson was already under bond on two other counts of breaking and entering, larceny and receiving, on which indictments had been handed down January 18 by the Moore County grand jury. These in volved the robberies of the Hand made Soap & Candle Co. and the Southern Pines Moose Lodge.
