There is no known cure for the affliction, it was explained, but much can be done to help those having it, through physical ther apy, rehabilitation and education provided by United Cerebral Pal sy funds.

GOP Chairman’s Statement on School Called Irresponsible and Incorrect W. Lament Brown of Southern Pines, chairman of the Moore County Democratic Executive Committee, this week described as “factually incorrect and irre sponsible” a statement about a Moore County school made last week by James E. Harrington, Jr., of Pinehurst, Moore County Republican chairman. Harrington’s statement, publish ed in The Pilot, charged that, at an unnamed school, students were “offered a ten-point credit on their average grade in a sub ject of their choice” provided they attended a speech made by Gov. Terry Sanford, during the Gover nor’s visit to Moore County, when he spoke at several schools, on Tuesday of last week. Harrington also said that a grammar grade having the best attendance to hear the Governor was to be “given a party.” The Republican chairman’s statement called these alleged in cidents “a typical instance of the coercive ‘something-for-nothing’ philosophy which pervades almost every program presented now-a- davs by the Democrats.” Brown said he had made a com plete investigation of the dharges, with the cooperation of the county school officials. “The incidents from which Mr. Harrington apparently drew his conclusions occtirred at Aberdeen school,” Mr. Brown said, “but both school officials and I are (Continued on Page 8) General Miller Heads Red Cross Drive It was announced this week by ^ Gen.

General Miller, familiarly known as “Duke,” graduated from the United States Military Acad emy at West Point in the class of 1915. He retired from the Army after distinguished service in both World Wars as a member of the Corps of Engineers. He did Red Cross work in West minster, Md., where he lived for 10 years after his retirement, be fore moving to Southern Pines in 1956. “The Moore County Chaptei is indeed fortunate to have (ien- eral Miller once again as fund chairman with his unusual en- »rqv. ability, and experience of two prior campaigns with the county,” said the Rev. Mr. Cald well. t., . BRIG. GEN. L. W. MILLER All persons in the Southern Pines area who are interested in tennis as players or spectators are urged to attend a meeting of the Sandhills Tennis Association, to be held in the court room at the town hall at 8 p. m. 'Thursday, March 8. George H. Leonard, Jr., presi dent of the association, said that, in addition to a business session for election of officers, an active program for the coming months would be planned. He urged especially that par ents of children and young people interested in tennis attend the meeting to give the association instruction, matches and tourna ments for the spring and summer. Cooperation with the tennis pro gram at Pinehurst will be discuss ed, with possibilities of mafches between members of the two groups, as well as exhibition matches. Class instruction in tennis is expected to be available in co operation with the municipal rec reation program this summer, Mr. Leonard said, with a possibility of private instruction also. The assocation sponsors the Sandhills Senior and Junior In vitational Tournaments each sum mer, drawing top players from in and out of North Carolina. However, Mr. Leonard said, “We need more gallery interest and more enthusiasm for the en tire tennis program.” The association’s program is conducted on the free municipal courts, financed by fees and con tributions from its members. A registration for jobs in a 600- j employee industrial plant that is expected to locate here will be conducted Thursday, Friday and I Saturday of next week, March 8, 9 and 10, at the National Guard Armory on Morganton Road. Announcenaent of the simvey was made this week by officials of the nationally known company which expects to build its big new plant, for the manufacture of small electrical appliances, on a site near the Trimble plant, just north of town. Name of the company -was with held pending completion of ne gotiations. Representatives of the company have been working on the project for several weeks with the Southern Pines Industrial Committee, the State Department of Conservation and Development and other agencies. The labor registration will be conducted by the Sanford office of the Employment Security Com mission and by company repre sentatives. ’The hours of registra tion will be: Thursday, March 8 — 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, March 9 — 9:30 a.m. to Currie Will Not Be Candidate for State Senate Seat Wilbur H. Currie of Carthage announced Tuesday that he would not be a candidate for the State Senate from the 12th District in the May Democratic primary. William P. Saunders of South ern Pines, former director of the North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development, who has been mentioned as a pos sible State Senate candidate, said Wednesday, when asked whether he would run, that he would make a statement on the matter next member of the Association. 4:30 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, March 10 — 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The plant will employ about half men and half women, the corr.pany officials said, with many jobs involving light hand assembly operations. Twenty or more office and clerical workers will be needed, in addition to industrial em ployees. There will be jobs for foremen and for inspectors, both visual and by instruments. Also needed are machinists, machine operators, tool and die makers, spot welders, biiffing and polishing operators, assemblers, press operators, maintenance ■workers (electrical, machine and pipe-fitting) and general laborers. Persons not now having special skills need not hesitate to re gister, the company said, because there will be an extensive training program, set up jointly by the comrciunity, the State and the company, to train workers prior to opening of the plant. A train ing program will continue within the plant after it goes into opera tion. Company officials stressed that the registration is not simply a “labor survey” to count the num ber of available workers in this area, but that registration will be an actual job application and that employees will be chosen from among the persons registered. The registration is being widely publicized ip art area extending 20 to 30 miles from Southern Pines. H. Glenn Lee of Rocking ham, chairman of the Industrial Development division of the Sand hills Area Development Associa tion, said that his division is co operating with the registration and getting out news of it in the four counties of the Association, Richmond. Lee, Montaomerv and Moore as well as in Hoke County which is expected to become a week. Political observers speculated (Continued on Page 5) Company officials stressed that work in the new industry would be steady, as it is not a seasonal operation. It will offer the usual “fringe benefits,” they said, and excellent working conditions in a new plant that will probably be on a two-shift operation, with the majority of employees on the first shift. If located here, parts of the plant are expected to be in opera tion by July 1, they said. ROBERT M.

Adams this week asked parents of chil dren who will enter the first grade of East Southern Pines school this year to bring them to a pre-school clinic to be held at the primary building on E. Mass achusetts Ave., Thursday, March 22, at 9 a. m. To enter school in September a child must reach his or her sixth birthday on or before October 15 of this year. A birth certificate is required at the time of the pre school clinic registration. Parents were advised to see that children receive the required medical innpculations which can be obtained through family physi cians or the county health depart ment. Mr. Adams urged parents to see that innoculations are re ceived well in advance of the start of school, especially polio shots which are required and which may take some time for a series of innoculations, if a child has not previously had any of the series. 'The March 22 clinic applies only to those children who will enter the East Southern Pines School. BLUE TO HUN H.
