is in charge of master planning.
A possible enrollment of 600
students was predicted as com

jor factors:
(1) Of the 2,000 high school
graduates annually in the area to
be served roughly 1,000 are now
continuing their education. Ac
cording to state studies, approxi
mately one half of that number
can be expected to become stu
dents in the Community College.
(2) The number of pupils in
high school will reach an all-time
high in the 1964-65 school year,
and the percentage of students
who graduate from high school
continues to move upward.

In announcing the plan to ex

President pointed out that early

their future careers in this re
spect. It will enable those found
unqualified to get to work

The President also noted that

be no change in the present prac

for actual induction into the
Armed Forces before younger
ones are called.”
At the present time, men are
being reached for induction be

as a national average. In North
Carolina the average age of in
voluntary induction is bout 22 %-

The announcement empha

Gilmore Joins In
Backing Proposed
Deep River Dams
At a public hearing called by
the Army Corps of Engineers at
Randleman in Randolph County
last Frid'ay, Voit Gilmore of
Southern Pines supported the
proposed Howard’s Mill and
Randleman dam projects as bring
ing economic, esthetic and rec
reational advantages to a wide
area, including Moore County.
Gilmore is one of two Demo
cratic State Senate nominees
from the 12th District which in
cludes both Moore and Ran
dolph Counties.
'The Engineers, as part of the
Cape Fear River basin flood
control project which includes
the already authorized dam at
New Hope in Chatham County,
have proposed' the two smaller
dams to control flooding and pro
vide water conservation and other
advantages on Deep River, a
major tributary of the Cape Fear.
The Howard’s Mill dam would
be in Moore County, just south
of the Randolph County line,
with the major portion of the
lake created lying in Randolph.
The Randleman dam would be
just north of Randleman, in the
northeast corner of Randolph
County, and would create a lake
in Randolph, also extending to
ward Greensboro and High Point
in Guilford County.
Statements both for and against
the dams were made at Friday’s
hearing, including opposition
from an attorney representing
about 400 persons who would be
displaced from 6,000 acres of land
that would be covered with water
by the projects. The Asheboro,
Randleman and! other Chambers
of Commerce, as well as Con

WANT TO REMAIN INDEPENDENT DISTRICT
Local, Pinehurst School Officials
Reply To Aberdeen-West End Letter
In a letter sent Tuesday to Joe
S. Lennon of Aberdeen, chairman
of the Aberdeen-West End joint
school committee, the chairmen
of the Southern Pines and Pine
hurst boards of education reaf
firm the two boards’ decision to
seek a merger of the Southern
Pines and Pinehurst school dis
tricts into a single independent
school system, rather than accept
the invitation issued last week,
by the committee, to join Aber
deen and West End districts in
a unified consolidation program
under the county school system.
The letter, a copy of which
was received by The Pilot today,
is signed by C. C. McLean, chair
man of the Southern Pines boaird
of ed'ucation, and L. B. Creath,
chairman of the Pinehurst board.
The two chairmen, however,
did not refuse, in the letter, to
discuss the matter, as invited, in
a joint meeting. And they added
their own invitation for the West
End and Aberdeen districts—
which are both units of the coun
ty school system—to discuss
joining Southern Pines and Pine
hurst in an independent, separate
district that would' not be a part
of the county system.
Here is the complete text of
the letter:
“In reply to your letter of June
22, 1964, regarding your invita
tion to become members of your
joint consolidation program, the
Southern Pines and Pinehurst
School Board members met and
discussed the matter at length.
We appreciated your interest in
our school system, and the fact
that you would like to discuss
the matter in a joint meeting.
We are always ready to discuss
matters that are of vital concern
to the best educational needs of
our youth.
“A number of years ago, the
Pinehurst and Southern Pines ad
ministrative units were establish

the request of the local citizens.
