Library Campaign
For Added Funds
Nearing Deadline
The campaign to raise $7,500 by
private donation to supplement
bond issue funds for work at the
Southern Pines library has been
going slowly, but a substantial
increase in the amount given is
expected before the Monday, Oc-
lober 21, deadline, W. Lament
Brown, chairman of the library’s
board of trustees, said this week.
He quoted John C. Ostrom,
drive chairman, as reporting
about $1,400 on hand early this
week, derived from contributions
ranging from a few cents to sev
eral hundred dollars.
The private fund for the town-
owned library is to pay for work
that was not anticipated when es
timates were drawn up, on which
a $25,000 bond issue for the li
brary was based, Mr. Brown
pointed out.
Plans call for an addition that
will greatly expand the library’s
inadequate space for both book
storage and its use by readers
and students, as well as expan
sion of the art gallery, improve
ment of office facilities and other
work.
When estimates were made,
presently needed work on the
heating system was one of the
.items not anticipated, Mr. Brown
explained. The private funds
would also make possible use of
better quality materials in cer
tain phases of the project ^
He pointed out that use of the
library has more than doubled
since it was taken over by the
Jown from private ownership
several years ago.
shops in the two Carolinas, Vir
ginia and Georgia, selling merch
andise in the medium price range,
the company president said.
The lease was negotiated with
One 76 N. W. Broad St., Inc., the
corporation that has owned the
building for about the past two
years, since closing of the Patch
store and sale of the structure.
Stockholders in this corporation
are Dr. P. J. Chester and Garland
McPherson, of Southern Pines;
and Fred Mahoney of Boston,
Mass.
Mr. McPherson said that the
shop will occupy about 2,000
square feet of floor space on the
ground floor of the building—an
area that includes the main por
tion of the former Patch store. The
Charlotte firm will not immedi
ately use the second floor store
space but has an option to use
it, he said.
The former Tog Shop location
in rear of the building, fronting
on New Hampshire Ave., has been
occupied for several months by
Mary Rowe Interiors, a decorat
ing business, which will remain
in that portion of the building.
Mr. Cato said that extensive re
modeling and renovating of the
exterior and interior of the shop
will be carried out by his com
pany, with a goal of opening be
fore the end of November.
Mr. McPherson said that the
leasing of the store space shows
Cato Stores’ faith in this area. He
said that the stockholders of One
76 N. W. Broad St., Inc., are well
pleased with the result of their
long efforts to lease the building
to a company that will be a de
finite asset to the community.
Details of the remodeling and'
other plans of Cato Stores, Inc.,
will be announced.

Man Bound Over
To High Court On
Attack Charges
An Aberdeen Negro, charged
with assault with intent to com
mit rape on an 85-year-old, semi
invalid white woman at-her home
Saturday, was bound over Tues
day morning for grand jury ac
tion at the November 12 term of
Moore County Superior Court.
James McMillan, who gave his
age as “about 40,” failed to make
bond of $10,000 set by Charles
MacLeod, a Carthage magistrate,
on the finding of probable cause
at the preliminary hearing.
McMillan was returned to
Moore County jail, where he was
placed early Saturday afternoon
by officers who reportedly found
him within an hour after the al
leged assault, drunk and “passed
out” on the kitchen floor of his
home in the Berkley section of
Aberdeen.
He had on his forehead a dress
ing covering a cut inflicted by a
Negro practical nurse, Mrs. Anna-
bslle McPhatter, who told offi
cers she found him molesting
Mrs. Esther Styers, grappled with
him and was herself attaclced.
The incident, occurring about
12:30 p. m. at Mrs. Styers’s home
on the Laurinburg road about a
mile south of Aberdeen, shocked

Radio Program
To Boost Bonds
A series of radio programs on
Station WEEB here is giving lo
cal steering committees from
school districts around the county
an opportunity to tell how ap
proval of the proposed $3 million
bond issue for school construc
tion will improve their schools,
as well as help the county as a
whole.
W. P. Saunders, chairman of the
county steering committee on be
half of the school bond issue and
the $1 million bond issue to build
a community college in the coun
ty, said that the programs run
from 5:15 to 5:30 p. m. according
to the following schedule:
The county school system staff
opened the series on Monday of
this week. Yesterday (Wednes
day), the Cameron committee
had charge of the program. Other
programs to come are: October
18, West End and Eagle Springs;
October 21, Vass-Lakeview and
Farm Life; October 23, Aberdeen;
October 25, Robbins, Hightails
and Westmoore; October 28,
Southern Pines; October 30, Pine
hurst; and November 1, Carth
age;
On November 4, the day before
the election, the county steering
committee for the bond issues
will have charge of the program
which wiU be extended to a half
school bond money will be divid
ed* on a per student basis among
the county’s three school systems
—Moore (ilounty schools. Southern
Pines and Pinehurst, with Sou
thern Pines scheduled to get
$554,700.
Chief projects for which this
would be used, the officials re
ported would be:
East Southern Pines— A 16-
classroom unit for 400 students
in the first through fourth grades,
to be located on a nine-acre tract
which the school board proposes
to purchase, adjoining the present
school campus and bounded by
Orchard and Weymouth Roads.
The building would have its own
cafeteria, capable of serving half
the students at one time, taking
pressure off the present cafeteria
which serves meals from 11 to
j 1:30. It would also have an as
sembly room, its own library and
a principal’s office. Construction
of this building, at an estimated
cost of up to $300,000, would
permit other elementary school
classes to be taken out of the
high school building back into
the present elementary school and
would thus permit expansion of
the high school’s library and
laboratory facilities.
West Southern Pines— The pro
jects there, which would use the
balance of the bond funds, divid
ing them almost half and half
between the two local school
areas, are listed as the third
“Phase C’’ of a new high school
alread'y partly constructed, a new
auditorium and four elementary
school classrooms.
Mr. Hodgkins said that the plan
for East Southern Pines, which is
altogether new and replaces for
merly announced tentative plans
to build a junior high school and
cafeteria on the nine-acre tract,
has the “strong approval” of
school planning experts who came
here from the State Department
of Education at Raleigh to con-

SCHOOL BROCHURE
BEING PREPARED
A brochure about the loced
schools and the proposed
bond issue for school con
struction over the county is
being prepared. Supt. J. W.
Jenkins told the East South
ern Pines PTA Monday
night.
It will outline local school
needs and tell how the board
of education hopes to use
bond funds to meet those
needs, if the county-wide is
sue is approved by voters
November 5.
The brochure will be sent
to homes by all school chil
dren and will otherwise be
widely distributed in the
community before the Novem
ber 5 voting, the superinten
dent said.
