With surveys for this purpose, was an j the maps, written material deals invited guest at the council’s Wednesday afternoon briefing session to explain just what such an engineering survey means. The informal hour-long confer ence was in effect a meeting of jninds on the importance of hav ing a plan for orderly and econ omical development in all public works fields. It was an outgrowth of the council’s request at a re cent meeting that Town Manager Tom E. Cunningham prepare a list of possible bond issue needs of Southern Pines during the next decade. This request had in turn been sparked by a recommendation of the recreation advisory commit tee that bond issues totaling $250,000 be held for' swimming pools, bath houses and communi ty centers for both the white and Negro sections' of town. Major questions an engineer ing survey should answer for a municipality, said Van Camp, should be: Wlhat does the town need, now and for the next 10 or 25 years? How much will it cost? How will this affect taxes? Information gathered in the course of the survey should indi cate accurately the answers to the questions. Van Camp and his associate, C. in detail with municipal history and growth, water supply, sew age and waste disposal; streets, sidewalks, storm drainage; public buildings, recreation facilities, real estate and building divisions, relations to areas beyond city limits, zoning, building codes, planting, schools, airports, and municipal finances. With this information planning may be coordinated, with especial reference to bond issue projects, at least cost to the taxpayer. Southern Pines is so far head of many other towns in material al ready gathered, both in the past and quite recently, that such a survey would entail considerably less research than in many other towns, where engineers must start from scratch, Van Camp said. The councilmen asked many questions but took no action. They were interested in the possible cost of an aerial map of the town, both as a starter for public works planning and as a device to com plete the tax lists. There is con siderable property within the town limits for which ownership is unknown and consequently is bringing in no taxes, the town manager reported. Such property is now located “only when we stumble on it by accident,” he added, giving several examples. Planning, Zoning Talked At Meeting Of Council, Boards With Phil Green Phihp P. Green, Jr., who is as-"*" isistant director of the Institute of Government at Chapel Hill, rec ommended to the town council in an informal meeting Tuesday night that the town convert its zoning board into a planning beard. A zoning expert, Mr. Green was called in by the town coun cil to discuss the basic set-up for planning and zoning, as well as any other problems along these lines. Attending from the body that is now known as the town zoning board -were Donald Case, chair man; Mrs. Claude Reams, Ralph Chandler, Jr., and Mrs. Katherine McCoU, an alternate member. Other members of the zoning board ^lre Herbert Cameron, and Maj. Gen. Julian F. Barnes, an alternate. From the zoning board of ad justment Jee Thomas and C. N. Page were present Tuesday night. Other members are Bill Bowman, Max Forrest and Alternates J. P. Shamberger and Brig. Gen. Pear son Menoher. There is currently one vacancy on the board, occa sioned by T. T. Morse taking of fice as a councilman, thus having to resign his membership on the board. Others at the Tuesday night meeting, and taking part in dis cussions, were Paul Van Camp, Third Session Of Course Scheduled OPERATION (Continued from page 1) General Jenkins stated, “Opera tion Impact is a new kind cf war fare, the battle against highway accidents, personal injury, prop erty damage and sudden death. In 1954 the USAF Air Ground Oper ations School was awarded first place in Operation Impact. The duplication, of the 1954 success is again our goal. However, .more important than any plaque, scroll “We wish in Operation Impact to focus our attention on careless ness and speeding. We want to avoid accidents. We want the bumper sticker on the car to mean something and not just be another poster.

As of today, the boys have won three games and lost four in play against Little Leagues from Aberdeen, Pinehurst, Carthage and Robbins. Robbins beat them 8-0 Monday when they were plagued by errors. Robbins got only four hits’ in running up the one-sided score. There was no Wednesday game this week. Wednesday of last week, Eddie McKenzie, 11 years old, on the mound for Southern Pines, shut out Pinehurst 8-0. Eddie’s no-hit game was one of the first he had ever pitched. He had been playing at second and as short stop and continues in these positions when not pitching. Southern Pines made only two errors in the Pinehurst game—a good record for Little League players. The local squad is scheduled to play Pine hurst on Monday and Robbins on Wednesday of next week—both games away. (Photo by Humphrey) from injury’—an ideal of our American way of living.” Most authorities agree that safety is no accident, the com mandant pointed out. “However, the desire for safety is often swept away in the hurry to get a job done, to make a deadline; but hurry, like carelessness, igno rance and laziness is the enemy of safety. Alertness, awareness and common sense are its allies. Eye-catching reminders such as posters portraying the results of death dealing accidents are not enough to make us safety-con scious; neither is actual experi ence. Safety lies net merely in the wearing of a parachute, a gas mask or pair of rubber gloves. Safety consciousness is an atti tude which an individual should cultivate at work or recreation. “Analyzing accidents involving automobiles,” General Jenkins’ statement continued, ‘‘we see that more than half of them occur when a car is traveling too fast. Investigation shows firrther that while it is easy to blame the oth er person, such blame is seldom entirely correct. A driver who is fully alert and has his vehicle un der proper control can avert most accidents, no matter how wrong the other driver’s actions may be. so without an accident. “The success of ‘Operation Im pact’ will be determined by your participation. Lend youf whole hearted effort and cooperation to this program. ‘Slow Down and Live’.” SUMMER, CAMPS Accessibiliy, as well as climate and scenery, h^s made North Car olina the summer camp capital of the Southeast. By family car, rail road, bus and plane, some 6,000 boys and girls from almost every state iq the Union converge on North Carolina camps from June through August. Destination for the majority is the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountain area, where there is the larges); concen tration of privately-owned camps. There are other camps—^both pri vately and organizationally own ed—across the state, and two of the larger ones are on the Atlan tic coast, ' County Board Of Education Rejects Local School Debt Service Proposal amounts the'^ ’Third session ip a short course for Moore Coimty law enforce ment cfficers, magistrates and other interested persons will be held Wednesday of next week in outlay.

Green of Southern Pines, retired Army medical offi cer who is pathologist at Moore Pounty Hospital, said that under the statutory and customary set up, a zoning commission, corre sponding to the zoning board here, is established to work out a zon ing plan for a community and goes out of existence once the zoning map is adopted by the town’s governing body, erning body. To handle complaints about zoning or recommend changes in zoning, from that time on, there is a zoning board of adjustment. This board is set up and function ing properly in Southern Pines, he said. The “zoning board” here is ac tually handling many of the func tions that a planning board would handle, it was pointed out. Mr. Green recommended that this board be reconstituted as a plan ning board—an action that would broaden its duties. Under state law, the council can create such a planning board. Mayor "Voit Gilmore said that questions looking toward the fu ture and involving planning come up at almost every meeting- questions which, he said, can’t be answered quickly.

Miss Aline Todd, a member of the Southern Pines faculty for 19 years, was announced this we*lk by A. C. Dawson, superintendent. Miss Todd resigned for family reasons. Her mother and sister live in Charlotte, and she has ac cepted a position as, librarian with the McClintoek Junior High school in Mecklenburg county, to be near them and other relatives. She taught mathematics in the high school here for many years, then six years ago took a year’s leave of absence to secur her de gree in library science at Chapel ters Clara III and Frances drove school librarian. “We hate very much to lose Miss Todd,” Dawson said. ‘‘She has been very valuable to- tlie school, especially in her position as librarian, which she has most capably filled.” While in Southern Pines Miss Todd has made her home at the Gertrude Apartments. sioners allowed $310,000. The bxwd of education had ask ed for $124,359.63 for current ex pense, but the commissioners re*- duced this" to $104,385. Last year, the board of educa tion threw the school budget re quests into arbitration by Clerk of Court C. C. Kennedy, when if refused to accept cuts made in its" requested capital outlay budget, Accept'anceof the tentative cap- ■ ital outlay and current expense allotments by the board of educa tion thik year forecasts smooth mailing for the school budget so’’ far as these items are concerned.

LochT Request Rejected In another action, the board of education rejected a proposal by the board of commissioners to in crease the debt service budget of the county system from $40,170 to $48,070'. The $7,90(1 increase in this bud get was due to the request from the Southern Pines board of school trustees that the county take over the debt service on the remainder of the Southern Pines gymnasium debt. TTiere had been several years ^o, a tentative oral agreement between the board of commission ers and local school officials that this would be done. This agree ment -was made at a tnne when the county -was not building gym nasiums for any school, but tbe COUNCIL (Continued from ipage 1) as yet.

In the vote on the Southern Pines debt service proposal last week Jere McKeithen voted to accept the increased debt service budget. Board members W. H. Matthews, T. Roy Phillips and G. H.

The action by the board of edu cation in rejecting the Southern Pines debt service proposal is not thought by school officials here to be a death knell for it. It is thought that the item could be included in the cormty budget, by action of the commissioners who apparently favor the county’s ac ceding to the Southern Pines re quest.
