Coiinty Group To

Now Being Formed
Representatives of
16 Communities
Meet Here Tonight
Steps were taken at a meeting
I last Friday night to expand to
'countywide proportions the local
effort to secure the consolidated
Presbyterian college to locate
here.
, Key persons from each of
about 16 county communities
.were being contacted this week,
'and have been asked to attend a
meeting at the Southern Pines Li
brary tonight, when a Moore
County committee will be form-
,ed.
, Located at Southern Pines, the
college would benefit the entire
.county and Sandhills section, and
unified support of all of Moore
will be important in attracting the
college, according to u,nanimous
.sentiment of the local group.
A. L. Burney, chairman of the
Southern Pines committee, will
be the local “key man” of the
county group which will spear
head widespread support and ac
tion. At tonight’s meeting, to be
held at 8 o’clock at the Library,
a briefing will be given on what
has been done up to now, and
plans formed for future activity.
At last week’s meeting, held at

WELFARE BOARD
FACES PROBLEMS
The Moore County Welfare
Board's monthly meeting took
place Tuesday with two af
the three member board.
Chairman H. G. Poele and
Mrs. W. P. Davis, present.
Meeting in the office of
Mrs. Walter Cole, superinten
dent of public welfare, the
board studied the many and
urgent problems facing the
county and came up with two
strong recommendations; em
ployment of a Child Welfare
Worker on the staff to meet
the most pressing need, anid
the advisability of establish
ing a branch office of the de
partment in Southern Pines.
The first point is emphasiz
ed by the mounting list of
cases of juvenile delinquency,
due almost invariably to the
desertion of their families by
one or both parents. The fact
that more than 45 per cent of
the Cctses come from the
Southern Pines area and theit
the present socalled "clinic
building" in West Southern
Pines, now in partial use, is
both inaccessible and inade
quate, sparked the second
recommendation.
