VOL.—44 No. 34 SAVINGS & LOAN Sanford Firm’s Plea For Branch Here Is Denied A resolution of the Federal Home Loan Board in Washing ton, D. C., made public here this week, disapproves the applica tion of the First Federal Savings and' Loan Association of Sanford to establish a branch office at the corner of S.W. Broad St. and Wisconsin Ave., in Southern Pines. No reason for the action was given in the formal resolution, which was dated June 29, other than that “it is determined that there is no necessity for the branch office in the community to be served.” The Sanford association made application to the Board for the proposed branch office last year and purchased a lot across Wis consin Ave. from the S. W. Broad St. office of the Citizens Bank and Trust Company. A hearing officer for the board heard testimony for and against the proposal at a hearing in Washington last December 19. When the Sanford association announced that it was applying for permission to open a branch here, it stated that it has numer ous borrowers and depositors in this area. The Southern Pines Savings and Loan Association and the Aberdeen Savings and Loan As sociation opposed the application on the grounds that they can adequately serve the lending and savings needs of this area. Both the associations were represented at the Washington hearing. TWENTY PAGES SOUTHERN PINES, N.

(Humphrey photos) COMMISSIONERS, TRUSTEES HAVE MEETING College Finance Problem Discussed An estimate of enrollment at Moore’s Community College at least 50 per cent higher than previously foreseen, with the lik- lihood that a larger plant than had been planned should be built at the beginning, was presented to the county commissioners Mon day by the college board of trustees. Chairman H. Clifton Blue of the college board told the com missioners that presmt trends Checkers Tournament For Youngsters Set Children six through 12 years of age who want to take part in a checkers tournament, in con nection with the summer recrea tion program on the park block, are asked to sign up by tomorrow (Friday) with Miss Sandra Fitz- gibbons who is at the park daily. A schedule for the tournament will be prepared over the week end and play will begin Monday, to last through most of next week. Miss Fitzgibbons said. indicate an enrollment of 600, rather than 400. With contract letting time approaching, it ap peared that adequate facilities would cost $1,500,000 instead of the $1,000,000 for which bonds had been voted, he said. It is expected all the money will be available, since the State has pledged $500,000 from surplus funds, if there is a surplus, and it is expected there will be one, to be announced before the end of this month. The problem, said' Blue, is that, when the county bonds were voted last fall “the people were advised that, if the State’s half million was available, the county would be called upon to issue only $500,000 rather than the full million in bonds. “We want to lay our cards on the table and talk frankly with you county commissioners, just as we want to talk frankly with the people. It’s the people’s col lege. We are only trustees for the people as well as the college. “The question is: Should we limit ourselves—and when I say ourselves, I mean the people of Theatre Policy Changes; Negroes Enter Without Incident • TViA Snnri<!fi TVlOQ+T'sa Vioro nrxnxr Cfart+i r^tr, « ^4-: A T i The Sunrise Theatre here, which in recent weeks had been the scene of several demonstra tions by Negroes who were each time denied admittance, relaxed its racial segregation policy Fri day, the day after the Civil Rights Act was signed into law by Presi dent Johnson. Four Negroes, a young man and three young women, were admitted to tne theatre without incident Wednesday night. They sat where they chose and patro nized the concession stand in the lobby. Robert Dutton, manager, said late Wednesday afternoon that up to that time two cnildren had been the only Negroes patronizing the theatre. Five adult Negroes were not admitted, he said, on Thursday of last week, the day the bill was signed by the Presi dent, but the new policy went into effect Friday. The theatre had formerly ad mitted Negroes only to the bal cony section, a practice against which protests had been directed by local Negro civil rights leaders. Dutton said that ticket prices in the downstairs portion of the theatre were raised' 10 cents, simultaneously with starting the new admittance policy—from 65 cents to 75 cents for adults and from 25 cents to 35 cents for children. The former “student” ticket (50 cents) has been abolish ed, he said. Balcony prices re main at 50 cents for adults and 20 cents for children, with the balcony open to both white and Negro patrons. In a conference here earlier this year, with members of the town council and the Good Neighbor Council—the local bi-racial group that considers and attempts to mediate racial grievances—Char les B. Trexler of Charlotte, of the Stewart & Everett theatre chain which owns the Sunrise, had pledged to integrate the theatre, if and when the Civil Rights Act became law. Largely through efforts of the Good Neighbor Council over the past year, most of the restaurants, hotels, and recreation establish ments in the Southern Pines area have been accepting Negro pa trons for some time. In several reports to the town council, the Good Neighbor Coun cil, of which Dr. Julian Lake, Presbyterian minister, is chair man, has also noted that indus trial and retail firms of the area have been taking Negro applica tions for jobs and have been em ploying Negroes, when qualified. No racial incidents were re ported elsewhere in this area, following the rights bill signing, except at a grill near Robbins where, as reported in another story today, two white youths reportedly attacked two young Negroes who ordered' food and were served. The white men were later arrested, on warrants sworn out by the Negroes. Scouts To Attend Big Jamboree At Valley Forge, Pa.

R. Hauser, county blood program chairman.

Causey Elected To New Position Jim Besley Shoots Ace On Birthday At SPCC Jim Besley of Southern Pines spent his birthday, July 7, play ing golf at the Southern Pines Country Club. Playing with his grandson Scotty Besley, age 13, of Miami, Fla., he aced the 17'7-yard 14th hole with a fiye iron. This was his second hole in one. The first was scored on the old Teugega Country Club, Rome, N. Y., on May 17, 1920. Ted Robertson, greenskeeper, and three of his men were work ing on the 14th green and wit nessed the ace. Jim was using a Spalding Dot golf ball and when he arrived home he received a present from his son, Jimmie, of Rome, N. Y. and the gift was—^you guessed it —one dozen Spalding Dots. The election of J. E. Causey as executive vice president of the Southern Pines Savings and Loan Association was announc ed this week. The new post gives Mr. Caus ey, who has been a member of the association’s board of direc tors for several years, full au thority to act in conjunction with the president, L. L.
