In The
General Assembly
BY CLIFF BLUE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE—
Senator Saunders and I have
been very much interested in the
possibilities of securing a com
munity college for Moore Coun
ty, if and when the Higher Edu
cation bill passes providing for
an expanded system of compre
hensive community colleges.
With representatives of the
State Board of Education includ
ing Dr. Dallas Herring, chairman;
Dr. Ready and Dr. Raymond
Stone, we plan to attend the pub
lic meeting to be held in the
courthouse at Carthage Tuesday
night, March 26, at 7:30 at which
time questions will be answered
and the possibilities of a commu
nity college for Moore County
discussed.
We hope that people interested
in a community college for
Moore County will come out and
hear the discussion. (See front
page story for more details.—^Ed.)
HIGHER EDUCATION. Thus
far this week the hottest issue in
the General Assembly has been
over the- proposed name-change
for State College. We do not feel
there is as much difference over
the suggested names as some
might think. The old saying is,
that a “rose by any other name
would smell just as sweet.”
BIG ISSUES—The General As
sembly is now getting ready to
face up to some of the big issues
of the session. But, you do not
introduce a major bill, hold a
meeting and act on it the next
week. On major legislation you
must give the public time to
study and 1st their sentiments be
known. This is the democratic
way. Legislation passed in haste
too often results in bad legisla
tion. Before acting on proposals,
you must give a bill long enough
to “soak,” to use a common ex
pression, and this is as it should
he in a republic,

Protests On Plan For Gaddy’s Goose
Pond Entered By Sandhills Residents
Miss Mary Wintyen of South
ern Pines and Miss Dorothy
Browne who is spending the win
ter in the Sandhills, associated
with Midland Crafters on Mid
land Road, have sent protests to
the National Audubon Society
and other agencies and indivi
duals, on a plan to establish a
National Waterfowl Refuge in
Richmond and Anson Counties, to
include the Gaddy Goose Refuge
near Ansonville.
A copy of Miss Wintyen’s let
ter to the National Audubon So
ciety follows:
“Are you aware that if some
thing in the way of pressure is
not put on the Federal Wildlife
Service and the local factions al
lied with therp, The Gaddy Goose
Refuge at Ansonville, N. C. will
cease to exdst?
“The proposal to establish the
Pee Dee National Waterfowl Ref
uge in Richmond and Anson
counties will take 400 acres of
Mrs. Gaddy’s' land bordering al
most at lakeside.. These 400 ocres
are not only a partial feeding
ground, but where Mrs. Gaddy
raises the com for her winter
feeding of the many thousands
of Canada Geese.
“For 29 years, Mrs. Gaddy and
her late husband, Lockhart Gad
dy, have spent a lifetime of labor
and patience to bring each year,
these 14,000 or more Canada
Geese, some Blue Geese, a Snow
Goose or so, along with hundreds
of Ring-necked and Mallard
ducks, to be seen and enjoyed by
young and old, of not only this
State but other states as well. To
go there is an education in itself
and deemed a great privilege by
many bird folks.
■“Where can you go, where wild
gcose feed (from your hands; while
hundreds mill around your feet;
where Ring-necked and Mallards
wait at water’s edge or mingle
with the milling geese for a
hand-out?
“Ask yourself this question,
WILL the WildUfe Service,
should they get control of this
land' decide to allow shooting
during the hunting season? If so,
then never again will the Canada
Geese at Gaddy’s walk with trust
and freedom around your feet.
“Immediate action is needed,
if we are to stop these ‘political
opportunists’ and save the geese
at the Gaddy Goose Refuge for
Mrs. Gaddy, their only protector
now, as in years past.
“Please write to anyone you
know, who might have any in
fluence regarding this situation.
Write your United States Sena
tors (in N. C., Everett B. Jordan
and Sam J. Ervin), also write
the Migratory Bird Conservation
Commission, Dept, of Interior,
Washington 21, D. C. A letter to
Mrs. Lockhart Gaddy, Ansonville,
N. C., might bring you more de
tailed information and keep you
posted as to Just what is taking
place. BUT PROTEST, in one
way or another and do it NOW.”

Superior Court
Hears Accident,
Divorce Gases
Among the cases disposed of in
Moore County Superior Court
last week, during a civil term
with Judge Walter E. Brock of
Wadesboro presiding, were the
following:
Six uncontested divorces were
granted Monday on grounds of
two years’ separation. They were:
Janice P. Hemmens Meeks vs.
Kenneth Alton Meeks; Charles
Elliott Brown vs. Alice Carolyn
Edmonds Brown; William Core
vs. Vanrow White Core; John
Mills Marcum vs. Margaret Ann
Walter Marcum; Alberta Smith
Johnson vs. Hillman Johnson;
Dwight Nichols vs. Josie Shef
field Nichols. ,
Settlements were approved by
the court in two cases. In one.
Seaboard Air Line Railroad Co.
vs. Anchor Motor Freight, Inc.,
of Delaware and William Paul
Hamm, the amount of settlement
was not disclosed and defendants
paid costs. Because plaintiffs had
asked that the defendants pay
their attorneys’ fees, a separate
judgment was signed noting that,
by consent of the attorneys for
both sides, no additional sum was
to be recovered by the plaintiff.
Accident Settlement
In another case, settlement of
$800 and costs was approved for
the plaintiff, Georgiana Smith,
infant, by next friend Gladys
Smith, from the defendant Willie
Alton McLaughlin. This was an
accident case and $423 of the
settlement was earmarked for
hospital and medical bills, the
balance going to the plaintiff.
In three suits against D. G. Mc
Kenzie trading as MacKenzie
Recapping Shop and Curtis E.
Luther, plaintiffs all took ■volun
tary non-suit as to defendant
Luther, agreeing also that no
costs be taxed against him.
Outcome of a few of last
week’s cases remains ■unreported,
but will be published next week.
Last week, 'The Pilot carried a re
port of the $15,000 breach of con
tract suit brought by Col. H. E.

against Newland Phillips,
Greensboro automobile dealer
who is a former local resident, in

cover money he alleged was due
him.
