f 4 t: page Ten THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina Friday, July 18. 1952 County Schools Gain Six Teachers — If They’re Lucky Enoiigh To Find Any Vacancies Harder To Fill Than Any Year Since War An allotment by the State of six more teachers than last year for. Moore county is fine—except that teachers are harder to find than at any time since the war, accord ing to H. Lee Thomas of Carthage, county schools superintendent. Instead of easing up, as was an ticipated, as the postwar era went on, the shortage has become con siderably worse. It is the elemen tary teachers, mainly, which make hen’s teeth look plentiful by con trast. With about a dozen vacancies remaining in Moore schools, dis trict committees are beating the bushes for prospects to fill the jobs. Four of the vacancies are in one school, Westmoore. Teachers are resigning this year at a greater rate than before, and fewer applications are coming in. In one respect the county sys tem is lucky—only one district principal has resigned. This was Thad,,N. Frye, principal at High- falls for the past nine years. All the others renewed their con tracts, and have shown no signs of wishing to go elsewhere. An elementary principal is also leaving—James M. Langston, of the Carthage grade school. He is being replaced by Mrs. Pauline F. Myrick, fourth grade teacher. Among other resignations re- TOP ATHLETES Julius Boros, Mid-Pines pro and National Open golf cham pion, tied with Jersey Joe Walcott, heavyweight cham pion, for the June award in the Hickok "Pro Athlete of the Month" competition. Walcott received 31 firsts to Boros' 25 but they were all even with 162 points on a 3- 2-1 point basis, according to an Associated Press dispatch. Whitfield Elected FFA President Butler, Darden GREAT OAK ported .by Mr. Thomas were: H. A. Schroeder, coach and bi ology teacher at Cameron High school for the past two years, who is taking a position in Florida. He Jias not yet been replaced. Miss Jane Lewis, vocational home economics teacher at Vass- Lakeview, who is being succee.ded by Mrs. Betty Shankle Morgan. Mrs. Gladys Marion, third grade teacher at Carthage. No replace ment as yet. James Lee Johnston, eighth grade teacher at Farm Life. No replacement. The state allotment gives one additional elementary teacher each to Robbins, Vass-Lakeview, Aberdeen and Westmoore white schools; one extra high school teacher at Robbins, and an extra Negro teacher in the elementary school at West End. Two high school teachers are to be added at Carthage, but these are offset by the loss of two in the consolida tion of Farm Life High with Car thage. Total number of teachers allotted for all county schools is 212. Two white supervisors and one Negro supervisor have also been added to the county school system. Teach Teachers Ahout Electricity Paul C. Butler and William C. Darden, officials of the Southern Pines division of the CP&L, have turned teacher during the past month, instructing four groups of vocational agriculture teachers in fundamentals of electricity, wir ing, repairs, etc., which they in turn will teach their students dur ing the high school year. The two Southern Pines men, both of whom are engineers, have been meeting with the district groups at WhiteVille, ’!!^^ Springs, Mt.

For a while, the intention was to build a new home for the sta tion on the transmitter site on the Midland road. This plan, how ever, hap now been abandpned for the lime being, he said. The station will stay where it is—at least until July 1, 1955, and may be longer, as the lease carries privilege of renewal. 'The space it now, occupies on the first floor rear at 113-115 East Broad street, also some addition al adjoining office space, will be completely remodeled to take care of the needs of the growing station. All the space beyond the double door in the entrance hall will be included. The control room will be moved to the rear and the present con trol room will be made into i small studio, supplementing the large one. The present reception room will become a viewing foy er for those wishing to watch the programs being aired. The man ager’s office and business offices will be relocated. The changes will not affect of fices at the front of the building now occupied by the Central Car olina Telephone company and H. M. Smith, Optician. W. L. Baber, of Sanford, owns the building. The station has grown greatly since its establishment in October, 1947. Its period of greatest growth has been in the past year and a half, since it absorbed another station here and became the only one serving this section of the said Mr. Younts. “We showed our faith in this section in coming here in the first place, at a time when many diffi culties were in the way, and our progress since that time has more than justified our faith of five years ago,” he added. “Wfe feel the future holds even greater oppor tunity.” Summer Delights...
