CORRECTION
In a portion of today’s press
the date of the upcoming
county school and college bond
election is incorrectly given in a
full-page sponsored advertisement
urging registration of voters. The
correct date is Tuesday, Novem
ber 5, not Saturday as stated in
som.e of today’s papers.
Sounding the call for party
loyalty and unity in the coming
election year. Democratic leaders
also paid tribute to past achieve
ments and individuals of today
at the annual Moore County
Young Democrat Club’s member
ship meeting held Saturday night
at the Carthage High School cafe
teria.
Guest Speaker Secretary of
State Thad Eure, after a resound
ing tribute to Speaker of the
House H. Clifton Blue, of Aber
deen took out after those who
vote “for the man” and not “for
the party,” and those who defect
from party ranks because of
something some individual has
said or done.
“From the beginning of this
nation’s history, on county, state
and national levels, the admini
stration of every phase of govern
mental operation has been and is
a party job,” declared the man
known from end to end of the
State as “Mr. Democrat.”
“There is no place to go from
our party except into the ranks
of the party which has opposed
us all these years, and which has
never contributed one thing to
our life and progress except they
always say they ‘can do it bet
ter’,” Eure said.
The only piece of statewide
legislation on the statute books
originating with a Republican,
Eure noted, “is the law changing
the death penalty from electrocu
tion to asphyxiation — the one
thing they showed they could do
better.” . ^
“As for myself,” he said, I am
not even going to engage in any
conversation with anyone that
might drive me out of my party.
If there is something in my party
I think needs rectifying, I am
going to stick in there and work
to get it done. That is something

The Moore County Fair will
continue at Carthage through
Saturday, with agricultural,
home and industrial exhibits,
entertainment and special
events.
Tomorrow, Friday, has been
jdesignateid "Agricultural
Day." Farm exhibits are re
ported more extensive than
ever before.
Saturday's designation is
"Moore County Day."
The fair is sponsored by the
Carthage Jaycees.
Saturday, October 26, will be
he last day on which residents
of Moore County can register to
vote in the school and college
county bond elections to be held
Tuesday, November 5.

will be at polling places Saturday

another item on this page.
In the election, citizens will be
asked to vote for or against a $3
million county bond issue for con
struction and expansion of schools
in all three school systems of the
county; for or against a $1 mil
lion bond issue for funds with

prehensive community college”
that has already been authorized
for the county by the state; and
for or against the legal authority
of the county commissioners to
appropriate funds for annual
maintenance of a college plant
after it is built.
Should Check Status
Registration has been generally
light since it began October 12,
said S. C. Riddle, chairman of the
county board of elections. Persons
who are properly registered on
the county’s general election
books in the precincts where they
now reside need not register
again. However, the elections
board' chairman noted, there was
a complete re-registration of all
voters in Moore County last year
and all persons not certain of
their voting status should check
with their registrars.
Persons who have moved from
one precinct to another within the
county, for instance, must re
register.
Local Committee
Mayor W. Morris Johnson and
Mrs. J. S. Hiatt, Jr., president of
the East Southern Pines School
Parent-Teacher Association, are
heading a steering committee on
behalf of the two bond issues in
the Southern Pines area, concen
trating their attention this week
on registration of voters.
Newcomers Urged
They urge newcomers to the
area to register, pointing out that
North Carolina law requires resi
dence of one year in the state
and 30 days in the precinct, to!
qualify a person to register and
vote.
Information on the proposed
bond issues can be obtained from
the committee chairmen.
Local Voters Warned
Voters in Southern Pines who
are registered on the municipal
election books only—the books
used in voting for town council
and court officials last May—are
warned that this registration does
not qualify them for voting in the
November 5 county election.
Three Precincts
Local area voters also are asked
to note that there are three pre
cincts in the Southern Pines area
—North Southern Pines, South
Southern Pines and Pined'ene. A
description of their dividing lines
can be obtained from any of the
three registrars who are listed in
blacjc face type in another front
page story today.
Brochures Ready
Mayor Johnson said that bro
chures are ready, explaining how
both the East and West Southern
Pines schools would benefit from
the $554,700 that would be re
ceived by the Southern Pines
school administrative unit if the
$3 million bond issue is approved.
Each school child will take home
a copy of this brochure—which
also stresses the Saturday regi
stration deadline — tomorrow,
Friday, said N. L. Hodgkins, chair
man of the Southern Pines board
of education.
The brochures also explain and
support the proposed bond issue
for the college.
Mayor Johnson said that, next
week, all registered voters in the
three area precincts will be sent
an information packet including
a copy of the brochure, a sample
copy of the ballot to be used, a
copy of a resolution adopted by
the town council in favor of the
two bond issues (appearing also
in today’s Pilot) and a letter from
the local board of education.

Lutheran Church To Ask Bids Soon On Construction Project
BLUE KNIGHTS WIN
The Blue Knights of Southern
Pines High School won their
Homecoming game Friday night
at Memorial Field, defeating Row
land High School, 24-13. In half
time ceremonies, Suzi Hill of the
Senior class was crowned “Miss
Homecoming.” See story on the
game, page 12, and photo of Miss
Hill, page 5.
Bids will be asked soon on con
struction of the first phase of Our
Saviour Lutheran Church and as
sociated buildings, the Rev. Jack
Deal, the church’s pastor, an
nounced this week,
The accompanying drawing by
Hawes, Howell and Associates, of
Southern Pines, architects, shows
a view of the proposed completed
project as it will be seen from
No. 1 highway. The structures
will be built on a site of about
seven acres owned by the church,
north of the Fairway Motel.
Plans for the project have been
approved locally by the Council
of the church, the congregation
and a building committee headed
by M. O. Johnson, as well as by
the North Carolina Lutheran
Synod, the Board of American
Missions in Chicago and the
Board of Church Architects in
Philadelphia, all Lutheran groups.
The first phase of construction
will include the building on the
extreme left—a fellowship hall
accommodating about 175 persons
which will be used as a sanctuary
until completion later of this
portion of the plan. A feature of
the fellowship hall, as shown in
the drawing is a buttress, with
window in center, from roof to
i floor, in the center of the build
ing. Also in the first phase willwill be air-conditioned through-
x.1. /I .X TITIk {X a 'V'cr'f 11 Vtfk 11
be another building (low roof
line in center) containing Sunday
School rooms.
The proposed sanctuary can be
seen rising behind a seven-foot
wall, with entrance gateway, that
will screen a courtyard, with the
sanctuary some d'istance back of
the wall on the other side of the
courtyard, though this is not
apparent from the drawing.
In the second phase of the pro
ject will be the sanctuary and
another, larger Sunday School
building, on the right in the
drawing. Covered walkways will
connect all the structures which
out. White brick will be used for
both buddings and walls.
Our Saviour Lutheran Church
was formally Organized last No
vember, after a steadily growing
group of members had been meet
ing here fOf several years. The
congregation now numbers 122,
inclutJing children, and is drawn
from over Moore County and
adjoining areas.
The Rev. Mr. Deal came to the
church as pastor in May, 1962,
and had also served here during
the summer of 1961, while a semi
nary student.
