Sufficient firefighters. It said, should be employed so that a minimum of one will be on duty at the fire station at all times both day and night, including meal hours, days off and vacations.

September Is Target For Opening Red Springs citizens have pledged to lend $50,000 to finance a new girls’prep school on the Flora Macdonald College campus in September. About 300 citizens gathered last Thursday night at Red Springs High School and made the pledges. These pledges, along with $100,000 a Red Springs bank has promised, bring to $150,000 the amount that has tentatively been raised by Red Springs Development Corporation. The corporation needs $200,000 before it can open the schooL Red Springs Mayor E. H. Alexander said after the meeting he expects to get $25,000 more in pledges from Red Springs citizens. George Spell, a used car dealer and member of the development corporation, told the Thursday night audience, "with $200,00 we can open up a going institution in September." Spell explained that the cor poration has arranged for Red Springs banks to lend $100,000 on the school property. Citizens will be asked to lend the additional $100,000 and take a jecond mortgage on the Flora Macdonald property. Alexander explained that the money would be used to repair and remodel the school buildings.

McManus, a Red Springs attorney, said the new. school will start out as a four-year high school and evolve into a junior college. Tuition, including all fees, would be $2,150 for resident students and $650 for day students. “Red Springs Development Corporation owns the school and the corporation would be guided by the people of the community," McManus said. Officials of the corporation have been negotiating with Col. Leslie Blankenship, president of Carolina Military Academy in Maxton, about opening the girls’ school in September.

James McNeill Johnson, A- berdeen Rt. 1, speeding, not Maxwells Are Well Pleased With Their !\ew Kitchen RIGHT HANDY — Mrs. Henry Maxwell reaches tor a conveniently placed pot top in her newly completed well-planned kitchen. "The U-shaped kitchen can’t be beat for convenience and economy," says Mrs. Henry Maxwell ofLumber Bridge Road just outside town, who has just begun using a recent addition to her home. Having just completed a major remodeling job, she gives the country agricultural direc tor, W. S. Young, credit for the money and space they saved in the new kitchen. Calling on the extension office for help in their project, Mrs. Maxwell, an employe at dte Bank of Raeford, said, "Wehad map ped out preparatory plans but quickly saw, after talking to the farm and home agents, that we were about to waste a lot of valuable space." The new birch-panelled room designed for both cooking and eating begins at the family room door with the dining area which is equipped with a round for- mica-toppod extension table of dark hardrock maple and six ladder-back chairs. Convenl- •ntly arranged around the U from rl|[ht to- left Is the re frigerator, counter-top work space wldt cabinets above and below, and across the end more counter space centered with a double sink. On the left is the range and built-in oven. Open space has been left for a dishwasher to be added soon. Did you ever see a double door built with a 90 degree angle? The Maxwells and their builder came up with the icea that two doors fastened together forming a right angle would close a post-free come.-, making it possible to reach any shelf space. The idea saved the cost of revolving shelves and offered moreusable space. Another convenient angle which is becoming a must in the modern kitchen is a cabinet with dividers for storing pot tops and flat pans. The Max wells placed theirs at easy reach beneath the counter-top range. .N'ot to be over looked 1$ the fact that the oven was set In the wall at just the right level to suit Mrs. Ma-xwell’s height. Among the many mistakes made in housing developments where homes are sold after comple tion, is the placement of ovens at a height which’makes it im possible for the average woman to view her cooking roast with out pulling out the hot rack. Mrs. Maxwell passes her opinion on floor covering, also. She says that unless you can get some kind of a guarantee with your block linoleum it is bener to lay it by the running yard. She has had both and has found that loosening blocks can cause many headaches. Included In the remodeling job at the Maxwell home was a family room which was made from two small rooms and a bedroom which was created from the former kitchen. A utility room was also built be hind the new lUtchen. "I had practically no storage space in my old kitchen, hardy space enough to put down my clothes basket and very little closet space, she explained, as she opened sliding doors to reveal a double walk-In bed room closet she had dlvised by utilizing the old breadfast room area. There (s more storifc apace and some book shelves on each side of the raised fireplace In the family room with built-in space for the TV set. This room is walled with the same birch paneling u the kitchen. It is finished with waterlox and varnish. guilty. Charles Bullard, Maxton, forgery, bound over to Superior Court uixler $500 bond.
