Joins 3"County
Regional Plan
The Moore County commission
ers on Monday agreed to join in
With Richmond and Montgomery
Counties in the organization of
the Sandhill Regional Library,
with joint administration and the
pooling of state and federal
funds.
They adopted a resolution
which was also presented Mon-i
day to the commissioners of the
other participating counties.
The plan, which had been
worked out in several meetings
with the other boards and dis
cussed fully with the commission
ers, was presented Monday by W.
S. Evans, chairman, and Mrs. A.
P. Phillips of Cameron, of the
Moore Library board.
Under new regulations of the
State Library Commission, each
participating library continues
entirely autonomous, with local
funds budgeted as before, while
state funds, and the federal
grant now available only on a
regional basis, support a joint ad
ministration and central purchas
ing to “get the most out of the
library dollar.”
Members from each of the
three library boards will com
pose a regional board, and the
resolution authorized this board
to establish the library on or after

A gentle lady of soft voice and
modest mien received an ovation
Pr!(l«y afternoon at Samarcarid
Manor,'Eagle Springs, as “a friend
^ all of us—a friend with an
educated heart.”
The occasion was a special pro
gram and reception given by the
staff of the state training school
for girls, honoring Miss Reva
Mitchell, superintendent, on com
pletion of 30 years of service
there.
Before the audience of 50 staff
members, 260 girl students and
many invited friends from all
over the State, tributes were paid
to her as one whose influence for
good on thousands of young lives
was equalled only by her record
as a top administrator.
As a new Woman’s College
graduate, she came to the school
August 1, 1932, “for the summer
—and it’s been a long spmmer,”
said guest speaker Samuel E.
Leonard of Montreat, State Com
missioner of Correction from 1943
to 1956.
Leonard, in whose administra
tion she was promoted to superin
tendent in 1944, said it had been
a “summer” fruitful in blessings
for the State. He recalled early
struggles of the school, and the
adjustments smoothly handled by
Miss Mitchell, not only to new
buildings but to changing atti
tudes and methods of correction.
The program was held in the
auditorium of the classroom
building, one of a dozen handsome
contemporary buildings which
have in recent years replaced the

9 Left Homeless
After House Fire;
Need Donations
The W. R. Walden home about
two and a half miles from town
on Youngs Road was destroyed
by fire with all its contents Sat
urday morning, leaving nine per
sons homeless.
Losing their furnishings, cloth
ing, money and other valuables
and all personal possessions were
Walden, his son-in-law and
daughter, -Mr. and Mrs. Danny
Sturdivant, and their four chil
dren, and a niece and her soldier
husband who were making their
home there. Only the electric
etove and a couple of chairs were
saved.
When the fire was discovered
in an upstairs room a call was
sent to the Southern Pines volun
teer fire department. Expecting
the truck to arrive any minute,
the family pitched in to fight the
fire, keeping it confined to one
room. After 35 minutes they
found they were not eligible for
fire truck service, having no out-
of-town contract with the South
ern Pines department. There had
apparently been some misunder
standing, on the part of the per
son placing the call to the fire de
partment, as to whether the Sou
thern Pines truck would come.
The town council directed sev
eral years ago that the Southern
Pines volunteers go out of town
only to protect property whose
owners pay in advance a fire ser
vice charge to the town. The
charge amounts to 10 cents per
$100 of the property’s tax valua
tion.
W. O. Moss brought his fire
truck from Mile-Away Farms, but
too late to salvage anything.
The family has moved in with
a son, Clinton Walden, also on
Youngs Road, and has received
many gifts of clothing, furnishings
and money, for which Clinton
Walden, proprietor of the West
Side Garage, this week expressed
