• Robbins has posted a 13-1 rec

TOght Must FaU;’
Tryouts Set Again
County System School Committees *
Vote Approval Consolidation Plan
At a meeting of district school record as approving the survey
“Night Must Fall” by Emlyn
Wiliams, a mystery in three acts,
will be the next production of the
’Theatre in the Pines, local ama
teur drama group.
Choice of the play was an
nounced at a meeting of group
members and other interested
persons last Thursday night in the
town hall, but tryouts for roles
could not be held as scheduled
Sunday and Monday, because
scripts did not arrive from New
York City. The snow storm there
was given as reason for the de
lay.
The tryouts have been resched
uled for 3 p. m. Sunday and 8
p. m. Monday, both sessions in the
court room of town hall. Persons
interested in backstage work are
invited to attend so that their
names can be listed.
“Night Must Fall” calls for five
parts for women and four for
men. Richard L. Castle of Fort
Bragg, who directed the group’s
first production last fall, will
again be the director.
committees of. the Moore County
school system held in the Vass-
Lakeview school cafeteria Mon
day night. County Supt. R. E.
Lee and C. E. Powers, director
of guidance services, presented a
factual research report supplied
the County Board of Education
by interested citizens and teach
ers of Moore County.
The conclusion of the report
was that the high schools of the
system are too small to offer a
well-rounded choice of studies.
In many of the schools the classes
are small . and the elective
courses few.
Only one of the county-oper
ated schools is accredited — Ab
erdeen.
Mrs. Beulah McPherson, direc
tor of instruction and Mr. Pow
ers were in charge of assembling
and co-ordinating the survey
study.
Upon motion of Paul Thomas,
j a member of the Cameron school
committee, the group went on
report and a proposed plan of
high school consolidation.
The county school system in
cludes all schools of the county
except those of Southern Pines
and Pinehurst administrative un
its. The Southern Pines and
Pinehurst high school, both of
which are accredited, were not
included in the study discussed
Monday night.

Cerebral Palsy
Drive Over Top
A final report made this week
on the United Cerebral Palsy
drive showed $1,539.81 collected
in four Moore County towns.
Luther A. Adams and Dr.
Charles Phillips, general chair
men, and Mrs. Paul Boroughs,
Jr., community chairman, all of
Southern Pines, issued this joint
statement:
“We have gone over our goal
of $1,500. To merely say, ‘Thank
you,’ seems so inadequate. Each
of us who is privileged to be a
part of the United Cerebral Pal
sy program joins with those af
flicted by cerebral palsy to ex
press deep and sincere thanks for
the splendid response to our ap
peal. We express thanks, too, to
the volunteers who helped make
the campaign the success it was.”
A breakdown by towns shows
these contributions: Southern
$711.62; Aberdeen, $164.72; Pine
hurst, $426.82; and Carthage,
$236.65.
“The results testify to the gen
erosity of the people of Moore
County,” Mrs. Boroughs said.

also attended. Members of the
team were guests of honor at
the banquet.
The 1960 conference champion
ship trophy was presented to
Rohanen High School of Rock
ingham and the runner-up tro
phy to Hope Mills High School.
A sportsmanship trophy, pre
sented for the first time this
year, was also given to Rohanen

possible 45 votes for the honor.
The winner was chosen and the
trophy given by officials who
served in conference games dur
ing the past season.

than increased appropriations to
mend some of our school prob
lems.
I feel that the Factual Research
Report compiled by interested cit •
izens and teachers of Moore Coun
ty and released by the Moore
County Board of Education this
week points strongly to some of
the weaknesses in our school sys
tem and some of the things which
should be done. Certainly, in
small high schools like we have
in Moore County, we cannot get
the most school for the tax dollar.
I would like to commend this re
port to all our citizens who are
interested in better schools and
getting the most lor the tax dol
lar.
Community Colleges
Another phase of public educa
tion in which I am very much in
terested is the state’s community
college program. We now have
three community colleges (Ashe
ville, Charlotte and Wilmington)
and with a fourth one having been
approved for Elizabeth City to
start either this fall or next fall.
These community colleges are
rendering fine services in their re
spective areas, providing the first
two years of college education at
a more economical cost to the
state and to the students.
It’s my opinion that Moore
County might well profit by the
establishment of a community col
lege in the not too distant future.
Other Issues
Many other important issues
will face the General Assembly.
The Automobile Financial Re
sponsibility Act will be up for re
newal, or it will expire. We are
going to hear much about Court
Reform. Re-districting the State
Senate and the National House of
Representatives, and re-appor-
tionment of the State House of
Representatives will be before the
Assembly, as will scores of other
matters.
But when all is said and done,
the Budget issues, appropriations
and taxation will constitute the
big problem of the 1961 lawmak
ers.
Branch Post OJfice
While attending the ’61 session
I will be staying at the Sir Walter
Hotel. If you want to write me,
address it to me at the State Cap
itol, Raleigh, N. C. A branch post
office for the General Assembly
members is maintained in the
State Capitol during legislative
sessjons.
We are always glad to see peo
ple from Moore County while the
General Assembly is in session,
so if you happen to be in Raleigh,
look us up.
(Editor's note: Rep. Blue,
whose home is at Aberdeen,
where he is editor and pub
lisher of the weekly Sandhill
citizen, left for Raleigh Tues
day, to attend the opening
session of the General Assem
bly on Wednesday. His seven
previous terms make him the
legislator with the second-
longest record of continuous
service in the Assembly.)
