In terested citizens would be given an opportunity to express their views on the matter. Area enroll ment projections and state wide experience in community col lege attendance have led college officials to plan for 600 stu dents instead of 400, as originally thought adequate. The possibility of capital gifts was raised. A Memorials and En dowment Committee—composed of Chairman Blue, Robert S. Ewing, N. L. Hodgkins, Sr., and John F. Taylor—is developing plans whereby gifts might be re ceived. Raymond A. Stone, col lege president, suggested that a foundation be established to re ceive endowment funds.

In personnel action, Mrs. Sarah Helms of Aberdeen was elected to a secretarial position with the college.

The program for the public meeting will include explanation of the proposed merger, the legal aspects, proposed curriculum, the teacher allotment, selection of school board members, proposed sites, financing and taxes, stu dent transportation and other as pects of the plan. Following the formal presen tation of the various aspects of the proposal, efforts will be made to answer all questions from the floor, the announcement said. “The audience-participation in the discussion will help deter mine the desires of the commu nity on the important problems concerning the education of the children in the elementary grades and high schools now and in the years to come,” it was stated. The proposed merger of the Southern Pines and Pinehurst units into one special “city unit” will need legislation to provide a vote on the matter by the peo ple. Citizens of the two school districts will make the final de cision, it was emphasized. A reception, to introduce the Rev. and Mrs. Stone to the com munity, is tentatively planned for September.
