While many professed disap pointment that Lillington failed to win one of the more substantial cash prizes everyone was quick to point out that the contest had left Lillington finer in every way. Everywhere there were words of praise for J. H. Blackmon, chair- j man of the Finer Carolina steering ' committee, who supervised the participation of the county seat in the Carolina Power and Light Company’s contest of civic im provement in the two Carolinas Blackmon is the long time teacher ol vocational agriculture in the Lillington school. Blackilion. in turn cited “won derful /cooperation between all groupsjl as tire most Worthwhile thing ’to come out of the year’s hard endeavors. “It just showed us what we can do” said, the chair man who started the year with hauling dirt to the school grounds and ended it in bed following a successful lung surgery. BLACKMON THRILLED “The thrill of working with many people with whom I had never be fore worked was something I shall always remember," said Blackmon. The chairman also praised the skill -ful way in which his vice-chairman Dr. David Huffines, Jr. concluded the year’s program and "brought the rough edges together” when .Blackmon was ordered to Oteen for a lung operation. “Oh if the judges had only come and seen,” was the comment most frequently heard on the streets as the news of the honorable mention spread. “Seeing is believing” they added, pointing out that the pictor ial record on which all towns were judged, failed to give a proper idea of the type of accomplishments Lillington had to its credit. They particularly cited the wooded, and difficult terrain of the Community Center landscaping project, and the I unusual terracing necessary at the school grounds where landscaping | presented a bigger problem than j any picture could show. Specifically, Lillington had five j general projects. They were: 1. Landscaping and beautification ' of town approaches. 2. Improvement of recreational j and cultural facilities; 3.
