POLICEMAN (Continued from Page 1) any Negro officer working in West Southern Pines would have to have transportation and radio communication equipment. In his request for the Negro officer. Councilman Capel said it would appear that such an officer, appointed now, could take some of the work load off regular members of the force now on duty. He recalled that the request for a Negro officer has come up periodically during his two terms of office (the past four years) and that it is a matter of constant in terest in West Southern Pines. “I hear this every day,” he said, “The people are concerned. This we must do now.” Councilman Capel said that an officer is especially needed to work with young people in West Southern Pines—a situation he said would be particularly im portant as students return to their homes here from schools and col leges. The council, on several occas ions, has deferred action on a Negro officer because funds for such an addition, plus his car and equipment, were not avail able. The point has been made frequently in these discussions that, if any Negro officer is em ployed, there should be two of them—an expense that would have put the proposal even furth er out of the town’s financial reach. Though Tuesday’s discussion was cut short by being unofficial and out of order, the council ap neared anxious to take the mat ter up in greater detail at another meeting.
