With work about ready to start | gal, said Town Attorney Hoke
the new gymnsisium for the
est Southern Pines school, dis-
ivery was made that the site se-
icted was right in the middle of
street.
Of course the street had not

.e school owns both sides, Supt.
J. Weaver told the town board
night, and potential
it goes right across the athlet-
field. Nevertheless, the school
oard had sent him around to see
hat the town board wanted to
o.
What it wanted to do became
vident at once. The school
loard’s resolution requesting per-
anent closing of the street met
ith a unanimous one from the
own commissioners, agreeing to
k> so.
The town board had good prece-
ient in this act, as the gsmmasium

also built in the middle of a street

time.
Wednesday night’s meeting was
the first one for new Commission
er H. L. Brown, who received a
welcome from Mayor Page as the
meeting began. “We are glad to
have you,” said" the Mayor. “I
think you’ll be a fine addition and
I think you’ll enjoy your work
on the board.
“This is a board where we each
stand up for what we think is
right, say our say, whatever it is,
and nobody ever goes home mad.”
Among other business of the
evening was the acceptance of the
resignation of N. L. Hodgkins
from the adjustment board. In
holding membership also on the
school board, he wrote, he had
found he stood in violation of the
law against double public office
holding. Acceptance of the sec
ond office, that on the school
board, had automatically voided
the other.
The resignation was accepted
with regret and no successor was
Dr. Marshall Scott Woodson
wiU be inaugurated at Red
Springs Saturday as Flora Mac
donald college’s third president.
Dr. J. R. McCain, president of
Agnes Scott college at Decatur,
Ga., will be guest speaker. Hal
bert McNair Jones of Laurinburg,
chairman of the trustees, will pre
side and inaugurate the new pres
ident.
It will be the colloge’s first
presidential inauguration. Dr. C.
G. VardeU was first president. He
is now 91 and president emeritus.
He actuaUy began along with the
college in 1896, so an inauguration
.wasn’t in order, even if there had
been time for it. Dr. Henry G.
Bedinger, who succeeded Dr.
VardeU in 1930, came in mid-sum
mer and during a depression. He
was -inducted into office by the
late Gov. Angus Wilton McLean,
the board chairman, as a part of
the commencement program the
following May.
Since Dr. Woodson came to
Flora Macdonald last January, the
coUege has become accepiea into
fully accredited membership of
the Southern Association of Col
leges and Secondary Schools, and

Sen. Poole And
Rep. Blue Named
To Committees
The names of Moore’s freshman
senator J. Hawley Poole and Rep.
H. Clifton Blue, who is serving his
third term in the General Assem
bly, appeared on a good many of
the committees announced by
Senate and House leaders this
week.
While it appears that both wiU
have plenty to do during the esti
mated 90 days of the current ses
sion, some disappointment was ex
pressed hereabouts in the commit
tee choices as a whole. The re
actionary element, however, se
cured the upper hand in both
houses and Moore’s representation
is considered to be rather more on
the liberal side.
Senator Poole is actually no
freshman in the General Assem
bly, as he served three terms in
the House as Moore’s representa
tive. His assignments as announc
ed last Friday by Lieut. Gov. W.
P. Taylor include the vice chair
manship of two committees, the
agricultural and the teachers’ and
state employees’ retirement. He
is also a member of the following:
conservation and development, fi
nance, public health, public roads,
university trustees’ and veterems
and military affairs committees.

parking problems was provided by
the town board Wednesday night
in the form of an ordinance set
ting the parking time limits in
most downtown areas at two
hours, with three portions of

The ordinance was the fruit of
considerable study by the board

ferred by Mayor C. N. Page.

lice and others concerned, the

lowing plan, which was adopted:
