Ruggles has called a special meeting of the town council, in the conference room at town hall, for 3 p.m. Monday, to reconsider a proposed bond issue for an addition and improvements at the Southern Pines Library.

County Won’t Divert Agriculture Building Funds to School Use By BETSY GRIER Friday, July 21, 1962 Safe and sound, but sleepy, our 1962 Roundup patrol got off the train at Port Henry, N. Y. We had a wonderful trip up, which will be one ■of* tlie^highlights of the en tire Roundup. The 8,500 girls here came by trains, buses and special cars, After leaving Durham on the train, we had a two-hour wait in Greensboro where we were wel corned by the mayor and had a small party. When we reboarded the train we discovered that our porter, who told us his name was Jones, had converted our seats into berths. Alter a night spent on the train w.3 woke up in Wash ington where we breakfasted at the Savarin. There we switched Entries Received In Tennis Events Here In August The first two weekends in Au gust will see the playing off of the Sandhill Tennis Association’s two annual sanctioned tourna ments—^the Junior Sandhill Invi tational August 2 through 5, and the Sandhill Invitational August 9 through 12.

Moss, well-known horse man and landowner, answering the $25,000 suit of Mrs. Jehnette G. Pitts, has denied all her alle gations of a severe and unprovok ed beating which she said was ad ministered by him on May 28. Both principals reside at Manly. In his answer, filed this week in the clerk of court’s office at Carthage, Moss denies having struck Mrs. Pitts with his hands or any instrument, or that he touched her in any way except in taking from her a jack handle, with which he said she struck and injured him. The alleged incident took place on the Old Yadkin Road, leading to tbs home of Dooley Adams, between estates of other horse and stable owners near Manly. Mrs. Pitts stated in her complaint that she was on her way to baby sit at the Adams home when Moss, riding a horse, stopped her car and administered the beating. She is seeking $15,000 actual and $10,- 000 punitive damages. The case was the subject of a criminal action in Southern Pines municipal court June 5, in which Moss was acquitted of an assault charge. The next term of Moore County Superior Court, at which the case might be heard, opens in Carth age September 4. to daylight saving time. Following this two hour stop we went on to New York. While in New York we enjoyed lunch at the Hotel New Yorker, a tour through the United Nations build ing, and a Circle line boat cruise around Manhattan Island. All of this was completed by 9 o’clock and we took a bus to Grand Cen tral station where we onoa again boarded our Region VI train. When we awakened we were near Port Henry so we ate our continental breakfast, detrain.3d, and got on special Roundup buses which carried us about 30 miles to Button Bay. We arrived at our campsite at approximately 9:30 and immedi ately set up camp and built our table. We were here at last! Being the first Region of girls to arrive, we had the pleasure of welcom ing most of the other campers. Our first days were spent look ing over the Roundup, taking pic tures, swapping, visiting, attend ing meetings (correspondent, first aider, commentator, patrol lead er). and just plain camping. Thursday night our first arena event was held. Included in this event were addresses by Mrs. stopped, help was. rendered and Charles U.

Fletcher Southern, with John Sullivan as general manager, makes shuttles for narrow fabric looms.

The commissioners at their reg ular meeting July 2, facing the urging of the Moore County and Southern Pines school units for increased caipital outlay appropri ations, had discussed a division of the $73,500 item for the benefit of the units, to enable them to let contracts on projects for immedi ate construction. Though such a change appeared imminent, the tentative budget for 1962-63 was adopted unchang ed on July 2, to lie open for 20 days. Adoption of a perma nent budget must be done by Saturday. To the Farm Bureau group, the commissioners responded only that they “would have to do what they thought best, in their consid ered judgment.’’ Commissioner W. S. Taylor stated he favored hold ing the $73,500 intact for the time being. This is what was done. The Farm Bureau members, who each year for the past seven years have seen the reserves for their long wanted building diverted, begged that this time the fimds be held intact until a November bond election can take place. School contracts pending were those for the Union Pines consol idated high school and the West Southern Pines high school While scaling down their requests to what they called a “bare mini mum,” representatives of the Moore County and Southern Pines school units both sought enough to let contracts on bids already received for the first two phases of, their planned four- phase buildings. At last Wednesday’s special meeting, another protest of school plans was heard. Joe Lennon and J. K. Melvin, Jr., Aberdeen, urged that all funds for the West South ern Pines high school be withheld until the Aberdeen, Pinehurst and Southern Pines boards could thoroughly discuss the possible consolidation of their Negro high schools. This would include not only any share of the $73,500, but the $81,500 alnsady in the tenta tive budget for the West Southern Pmes building. Estimated final cost of the building is $375,000. The commissioners suggested to toe Aberdeen group that they “proceed through proper chan nels.” (Later that day, they in formed the Southern Pines board ho additional capital outlay funds would be forthcoming this year With a reserve of $61,500, and the anticipation of $81,500, the South- ern Pines board let contracts last - Wednesday night for a total of $99,701 for construction of Phase A of the West Southern Pines school, consisting of a heating pimt and seven classrooms.)
