<>2e EIGHT THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1960 toasting Contest Held by Wildlife Club^t Meeting Seven men flycasting on W. O. Moss’s pasture lot, was the sight presented to members of the Moore County Wildlife Club, meeting Tuesday night at Mile- away Farm. The flycasting contest was put on by Eugene Starnes, of the N. C.. State College Extension staff and executive director of State’s deepsea fishing and game hunt ing schools. With car headlights illumina ting the scene, the seven flycast ing in one practice heat, then in five heats for prizes, were Eugene Kelly, who won first prize; Col. Donald Sandstrom, who won both second and fourth; Bill Spence, third; Bob Edw£u-ds, fifth; Albert Tufts, J. T. Overton and T. T. Overton. Judges were Starnes, club president Dr. George Hein- itsh and Herbert Cameron. Staines had previously given a demonstration of flycasting with glass spinner rod and reel, em phasizing use of the wrist both for control of the spin and as a major safety factor. He described different kinds of equipment and their uses in both deepsea and freshv/ater fishing. The fishing and hunting schools have more than justified their existence as a “continuing edu cation’’ feature for adults, stress ing recreational advantages of North Carolina and as an eco nomic boost, he said. With reference to the hunting school, held at Southern Pines each year,, he said the Sandhills’ potential as a hunting area has never been fully realized and the school should help. He urged the cooperation of the club in holding the school, set for October 30- November 4 this fall. The pro gram followed a picnic supper at the Mileaway grill.

' : ' t CUIB BOURBON RETURNS TO HOSPITAL Mrs. Sarah Lorenson after hav ing been released from St. Jos eph’s hospital last Saturday was admitted again Tuesday for fur ther rest and treatment. PRECINCT LINES (Continued from Page 1) maps, he said he could not find any record of official establish ment of precincts and that they aie purely traditional, not to be definitely determined by any of ficial means today. There are places all over the county, he de clared, where people cannot be sure what precinct they live in and the registrar cannot help tnem. Also, for this reason, many who should be in one precinct are voting in another. He said his idea would be to get together a few leading citi zens of each precinct, who know the territory and its residents and landmarks, and let them deter mine the precinct lines according to well-defined boundaries, a highway, river, creek or power line; to make the lines official by publication of a map which v/ould then be on file at Carthage and placed in the hands of each registrar. The precincts should be drawn according to the needs of today, the population centers as they now exist and the mode and ar teries of travel. If such precincts Should require changes in town ship lines, he would then expect the'ioommissioners to act with commor. sense, for the good of the whole and not to favor any one group, he said.

W. Broad St. The hearing was asked after a survey revealed that the Welch building there extended .68 foot onto town property. Approval of the ordinance would quitclaim the strip of land to the owner of the building, Frank Welch. SCHOOL FUNDS (Continued from page 1) in that the county now has no shop, and the garage, nearly 30 years old and poor to start with, is in poor repair. Also, he said, its site on the Carthage school grounds is needed for playground space. A county school librarian is aiso a necessity, they said^ noting that the system expends between $5,000 and $10,000 per year for new books and has no profession ally trained person to handle, dis burse, care for and recover them, or teach children their use. Only one school in the system—Aber deen, which has a tax supplement —has a full-time trained librari an. In other schools, teachers de vote their vacant periods to libra ry work. School board members Phillips and Matthews spoke up vigorous ly for the salary supplement for Supt. Lee, noting that he had taken a salary cut of $2,000 to come to the county school system from the principalship at Aber deen, besides leaving a home and summer business there, and that it was on the prospect that all this would be made up to him that he came to the county job. They as serted, “We think we’ve got one of the best men in the State and we want to keep him. But it isn’t fair to ask him to continue to stay at a personal sacrifice.” ANNIVERSARY (Continued from page 1) “For exemplary performance and effective leadership for 20 years as a soil conservation district su pervisor, for applying conserva tion practices to his own land, lor exceptional service ih promo tion of water conservation by serving on the N. C. Water Re sources Commission.” Pr. Weaver, introduced by Lee county agriculture agent Ken Harmon as a member of the State Soil conservation committee since its inception, reminded the audi ence that “in our lifetime we have seen the creation of a new science, that dealing with the pro tection of our soil.” The speaker recalled the val iant efforts of Dr. Hugh Bennett to awaken America and the world to the menace of soil erosion. “First there was fire, then the axe, and now the bulldozer that is playing havoc with our top soil. If you do not believe it, just fly from here to Asheville and see for yourself. The great problem is to get tile surface covered with nat ural vegetation. It is that vital SIX inches of top soil on which we depend to feed the earth’s peo ples,” added the speaker. Dr. Weaver recalled that in tne early days of soil conserva tion, that it was difficult to re cruit personnel because “few knew little about this new science. There were no texts Seal ing with soil conservation.” The speaker characterized the progress made in soil conserva tion as typical of' the ever in creasing efficiency of the Ameri can farmer. He compared the farm to a food factory whose efficiency nas enabled the American nation to direct its energies in many oth er directions. Modern farming* he noted calls for skills in many fields. The speaker told the group that “in 37 years in North Carolina I have seen changes that are worth celebrating.
