16.

AFB. Mrs. Danaher is the daugh
ter of Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Fisher

she was in Massachusetts.

Mrs. O. A. Speight visited
friends in Lumberton Monday.
Mrs. J. Bruce Cameron was a
patient at Moore Memorial Hos
pital from Tuesday until today.
Mr. Mare, is being “wasted, ex
ploited and the art of rowing
pottery there is being destroy
ed.” It further alleges that Mr.
Mare is attempting to obtain a
mortgage on the property, an al-
legaton which he yesterday de
nied.
The complaint further alleges
that Jugtown, Inc., obtained a
deed to the property December
5, 1958, and that Mr. Mare ob
tained a deed March 11 “through
chicanery and undue influence.”
Both organizations, Jugtown,
Inc., and the Jacques and Juliana
Busbee’s Jugtown, Inc., aver that
they seek to perpetuate the art of
pottery-makng of Jugtown and
provide for Mrs. Busbee’s welfare.
Jugtown, Inc., has a number of
well-known people in the state
as its members, including Dr.
Blackwell Robinson of the Wom
an’s College faculty, Phillips
Russell, former professor at the
Unversity of North Carolina and
a widely known author, and
Mrs. Isabelle Henderson, Raleigh ^
artist.
Mr. Mare said yesterday that
he intended to fight the new ac
tion “with everything. I have.”
He said alo that he “intended to
make it very uncomfortable for
them,” referring to members of
Jugtown, Inc.
W. D. Sabiston, Carthage at
torney who represents Mr. Mare
in the matter, said this morning
that he had not deteimined yet
whether he would seek to have
the order vacated on grounds
that Mrs. Jordan was not known
either to Mrs. Busbee or to any-
*one else in the matter.
. “There, are several aspects to
this that we haven’t fully inves
tigated yet,” he said, “and I just
can’t say what we’ll do.”
Judge Has Sharp
Criticisms For -
Some Local Parents
Eleven cases ' came before
Southern Pines Recorders Court
Wednesday. Of these many had,
as pripcipals, teen-agers in their
first brush with the law; prompt
ing Judge W. Harry Fullenwider
to some severe words of sharp
reproof. Said the judge;
“I wonder if you parents in the
courtroom today realize that,
with the exception of one case
tried so far, all the defendants
have been 18 years of age or un
der? This is a terrible thing and
should give all of us cause for
real concern. Much of the trouble
these youngsters get in is the re
sult of parental neglect. I’m.
afraid, and all of you, and parents
everywhere, should take more in
terest in what your children are
doing.”
There were many parents in
the court-room to hear the
judge’s words of condemnation
and advice.
But the first case to come up
was of a more serious nature:
assault with a deadly weapon, the
incident having taken place at
the restaurant of James Pugh in
West Southern Pines and with
both members of the affray
brought before the court.
Sadie W. Bethea and Shelby
Jean Douglas, both of Sanford,
who had “cut up” each other, re
ceived the same sentence: two
years suspended dh payment of
$50 and costs.
Charles D. McNeil, of Morrison
Training School, was fined $10^
and costs “for transporting whis
key with the seal broken.”
Michal Bose, 17, Southern
Pines, was fined $5 and costs for
reckless driving; Mae Stubbs,
Southern Pines, fined $10 and
costs for driving on the wrong
side of the road; Conrad Oren, of
Trinidad, fined $1 and costs for
disregarding, a stop sign; Charles
D. Wilson, Ft. Bragg, fined $15
and costs for reckless driving.
Bobbie Stanback, 17, Southern
Pines, was fined $1 and costs for
pointing a fake gun at a friend.
(’The law classifies this as assault
even though the gun is not real.)
Samuel Black, West End, con
victed as a public drunk, was
fined $10 and costs.
The case which eVoked the stem
rebuke to parents from Judge
Fullenwider was that ^ of two
young girls, Mamie Miller and
Alice Grady, who, given money
by their mothers; to buy some hose
at the Colonial Store, had tried
to steal the hose and keep the
money. They were apprehended
before leaving the store and were
given the following. sentence:
Fined $1 and costs, and a six-
months suspended sentence, or
dered not to break the lavy again
for similar offense for six months,
and not to enter any store in
Southern Pines for the same peri
od unless accompanied by an old
er person.

per high schools is begun.”
The Board also said that pend
ing further study, it would be
impossible to say which area of
the county might be the first to
get the new super high schools.
“As a matter of general pol
icy,” the resolution continued, “it
is the feeling of the Board at
present that none of the proposed
super high schools will be loca
ted at present school sites.”
The survey committee suggest
ed th^ adequate sites and site
development should be provided
at Pinckney and Berkeley schools
and that auditoriums should be
constructed if funds are avail
able.
Another recommendation was
that when a high school is va
cated and then assigned for ele
mentary grades, the building
should be remodeled to meet the
needs of elementary education.
The survey committee consist
ed of J, P. Sifford, superintend
ent of the Stanly County school
system; Dr. W. A. Stumpf of
Duke University; Dr. J. A. Pierce,
W. A. Lathan and Leon S.
Thompson of the Division of

and in physical plant, which
have been made during his
(Dawson’s) administration. His
resignation will leave a great
void, both in the schools and 'in
the community.” >. i ■!
In his letter of resignation, Dt;
Dawson said he' wsffi accepting
the new positioii “because of the'
opportunity for service it pro
vides oh a state-wide basis.”
Here is the text of the letter
he sent to Mr. Howarth;
"A few days ago I inform
ed you and the ether mem
bers of the Beard of Eduea-
tien that I had been ap
proached about accepting
the position of Executive
Secretary of the North Caro
lina Educaton Association.
For several weeks my fami
ly and I have given very
careful and serious consider
ation to this matter. • I feel
that this offer affords an op
portunity for service on a
state wide basis and I be
lieve that in the future inter
est of my family I should not
turn it down.
"Therefore it is with great
reluctance that I request the
Board to accept my resigna
tion effective June 30, 1959.
which is the end of my pres
ent term.
"I wish to say to you and
to the members of the Board
of Education that it has been
a pleasure and a ptivil^e to
work with you in the inter
est of the Southern Pines
schools. I have never known
a Board that is more dedica
ted to the weMare of the
schools and I have never
known of a single instance
in which any member allow
ed anything to interfere with
the improvement or efficient
operation of the schools.
"I wish for the schools and
for you continued success
and happiness in the future.
The Southern Pines schools
and the Southern Pines comr
munity shall always hold a
close place in my heart and
if I can assist you in any way
in the future, please do not
hesitate to call upon me."
Mr. Howarth issued this state
ment Saturday;
“The Southern Pines City
Board of Education, in a called
meeting today, reluctantly and
regretfully accepted the resigna
tion of Dr. A. C. Dawson as Su
perintendent of Schools, effec
tive June 30th.
“The Board has known that
Dr. Dawson has had this oppor
tunity under consideration for
some time. He has concluded to

ed one of the top educational
positions in North Carolina.
“Dr. Dawson has been with
the Southern Pines Schools for
22 years, 12 of which as Princi
pal of the High School, and as
Superintendent for the past
eight years.
“The Board is deeply apprecia
tive of the advancements, both
educationally and iq physical
plant, which have been made
during his administration.
“His resignation will leave a
g^eat void, both in the schools
and in the community.”
