Officials List
Advantages Of
Separate Unit
Reasons why the Southern
Pines and Pinehurst boards of ed
ucation prefer merging into ^ a
single “city” administrative unit,
rather than becoming part of the
county school system, were out
lined for The Pilot this week by
the two superintendents involved
James M. Jenkins of Southern
Pines and Lewis S. Cannon of
Pinehurst.
The Southern Pines and Pine
hurst school districts, each now
extending beyond the boundaries
«f the communities they serve,
are at present separate adminis
trative units, each with its own
hoard of education and superin
tendent.
Recently, the two boards of ed
ucation announced that they had
reached an agreement, subject to
a vote of the people, to consoli
date the two districts into a single
administrative unit which would
be independent of the coimty
school system. The boards noted
that a special legislative act—^to
be submitted to the 1965 General
Assembly—would be necessary to
permit citizens of the two dis
tricts to vote on whether or not
sucb a merger of districts would
take place.
A vote would also be required
to equalize the special supple
mentary tax for education pur
poses, now existing in the two

RED CROSS FUND
RUNS FAR SHORT
Less than half of the $12.-
994 needed to meet actual
expenses of the Moore Coun
ty Chapter of the American
Red Cross has been given in
the fund campaign, officials

week, making a special ap
peal for contributions to the
1964 drive.
Funds are needed for the
blood program, swimming
and water safety instruction
and other activities of the
chapter.
Contributions should be
sent to the chapter's local of

also of Southern Pines, for alleg
edly unfair competition or threat
of competition, for imitation of

Recreation Off
To Lively Start
In Town Program.
The Town’s summer recreation
programs in East and West South
ern Pines opened Monday, offer
ing a variety of supervised activi
ties for all ages from first graders
to adults.
On the East side. Director
David Page pointed out a new ac
tivity not listed in the complete
program outlined in last week’s
Pilot. This is roller skating for
ages six and up on Wednesday
afternoons, from 2 to 4. For this
activity only, he noted, there is a
50 cents fee. Children taking part
will meet the activity bus at the
park and go under supervision
to the rink on Highway 15-501,
south of town.
Page said the younger chil
dren are responding enthusiasti
cally to the park program con
ducted by Miss Sandy Fitzgib-
bons.
More than 150 children turned
out for opening of the West
Southern Pines program Monday,
reports Supervisor Joe Wynn.
There is a long list of activities in
the West side program, as report
ed in last week’s Pilot.
Try-outs for Colt League base

day, Wynn announced. All inter
ested boys are invited to be pres

Consolidation
Of 4 Schools
Urged-But How?
Aberdeen and West End school
patrons, meeting at the Aberdeen
auditorium Friday night, made it
plain they want to move ahead
on their long-planned high school
consolidation.
They also showed they would
like to have their neighbors.
Southern Pines and Pinehurst,
join with them, are perplexed as
to why this is such a thorny pro
blem but doni’t want to wait
around much longer, hoping this
will happen.
The whole merger situation as
it involves, or may involve, the
four contiguous districts, produced
some searching questions.
Two visitors from Raleigh were
Dr. J. L. Pierce, head of the Divi
sion of Schoolhouse Planning, and
A. C. Davis, controller of the
State Board of Education. They
spoke briefly at the end of the
meeting.
The meeting was sponsored by
the Moore County board of edu
cation, with the State Board re
presentatives present, to fulfill
the final statutory requirement
before the Aberdeen-West End
consolidation is approved.
The approximately 130 persons
present included several from
Southern Pines and Pinehurst.
Jere McKeithen of Aberdeen,
chairman of the county board,
presided and answered a good
many of the questions.

West Side Pool
To Open Friday
The new municipal swimming
pool in West Southern Pines will
open at noon tomorrow (Friday),
Town Manager F. F. Rainey said
today. Joe Wynn, supervisor of
the West Southern Pines recre
ation program, will be in charge.

Homecoming Set
At Union Church
The Rev. Malcolm C. Mclver,
Jr., dean of the faculty at the
Presbyterian School of Christian
Education, Richmond, Va., will be
the preacher for the 11:15 a. m.
service at the annual homecoming
of Union Presbyterian Church,
between Vass and Carthage, Sun
day, July 5.
The service will be followed as
usual by a picnic lunch on the
grounds. All friends of the church
and former members are invited
to join the congregation for
the occasion.
The Rev. Mr. Mclver is a grand
son of the Rev. M. N. Mclver,
minister at Union Church from
1895 to 1898.
Children and Adults, just north
of Southern Pines.
The youngsters, who will have
normal camping experience as
well as special training in con
nection with their handicaps, are
the first of three groups of 32 who
will enjoy the camp during three
planned two-week sessions. A
seventh week will accommodate
a group of adult campers.
Details of the camp and its
operation were reported in last
week’s Pilot. In addition to the
personnel named last week. Dr.
L. B. Daniel, Jr., of Southern
Pines, is listed as orthopedic
specialist for the camp. Dr. Clif
ton Davenport, local physician,
will be on call for general medi
cal attention.
Robert A. Lassiter of Chapel
Hill, executive director of the
State Society, is the camp di
rector..
The plant—land, the lake, cab
ins and remodeled structures, de
signed by E. J. Austin, local ar
chitect—represents an investment
of roughly $70,000. While all the
Society’s projects are financed to
some extent by the sale of the fa
miliar Easter Seals, Camp Easter
was actually made possible
through! a number of gifts, only
one of which, the dock and pier
given by the Sandhills Kiwanis
Club, was mentioned in a general
story about the camp in last
week’s Pilot.
Some of the outstanding ones
are the paved walkways, given
by the Warren County chapter;
the four cabins, costing about $2,-
000 each—given by the Southern
Pines Rotary Club, Southern
Pines Jaycees, Durham County
chapter and Wrenn Brothers, of
Charlotte; the bath house, given
by Dewey F. Bean of Cherryville,
with numerous touches added as
donations or at cost by W. P.
Davis of Southern Pines, the con
tractor (Sandavis Construction
Co.), who is also a director of the
State Society; the remodeling and
equipping of the small building
containing dining hall and kitch
en, nurses’ quarters, laundry
equipment and print shop, by the
Orange County chapter; and a
flagpole to be erected at the en
trance, given by the Moore Coun
ty chapter, honoring Mrs. Graham
Culbreth and Dr. H. A. Peck,
whose efforts over a period of
years were largely responsible for
the establishment of the camp.
This week, installation was
made of about 10 sturdy green-
painted tables, built and given by
the Southern Pines Moose Lodge,
stationed near the cabins and cot
tages, on the waterfront and else
where, for picnics, arts and crafts
and other activities. Some of the
