The State Board 'of Education, meeting in Raleigh, decided this afternoon that about 200 acres of the Southern Pines School District should be trans ferred to the county school sys tem, to be used, in part, as site for the county’s big “Area HI” consolidated High School. Following is the official de scription of the action as placed on the minutes of the Board: “The State Board of Education approved the changes in the Moore County and Southern Pines Administrative Units’ boundaries by transferring prop erty from the Southern Pines to Candidates For Town Council Now Number 10 Mayor Norris L. Hodgkins, Jr., filed his candidacy ia the May 4 municipal election, during the past week, as did five other local residents, bringing to 10 the num ber of candidates so far, for the five town council seats. Other filing in the past week are: Robert W. Howard, John Dibb, Charles J. Mumford, Harry W. Chatfield, Jr., and George H. Leonard, Jr. Candidates who had filed pre viously include two incumbent councilmen, C. A. McLaughlin and Felton Capel, and two others, Lee K. Smithson and L. D. Mc Donald. The filing period will end at noon, April 15. If more than 10 file, as appears likely, a primary will be conduct ed April 26, to reduce the num ber of candidates to 10 for the May 4 voting.

Provi ded that the property transferred shall not be relieved of its pro portionate share of the taxes to be levied to pay the bonded in debtedness of the Southern Pines Administrative Unit.” School officials speaking for and against the change, which had been formally petitioned by the county school board, appear ed this morning in Raleigh before the State Board of Education’s Finance Committe. Jere Mc- Keithen of Aberdeen, county board of education chairman. County Supt. Robert E. Lee and others, asked that the tract in the Southern Pines district be added to the county unit; while local School Board Chairman Dr. C. C. McLean, Supt. J. W. Jen kins and Attorney R. F. Hoke Pollock appeared to oppose the proposal. Mrs. Walter Harper of the local school board was also a member of the delegation. The State Board of Education has the authority to order a change of school district lines, when formally petitioned as it was by the county school system. The Southern Pines Board of Edu cation had not granted the county system’s request to change the district lines. The site in question is located largely northeast of Highway 15- 501, toward Pinehurst from the Morganton Road intersection, tough a small portion of it lies on the other side of 15-501, to make it contiguous with the Aberdeen School District for a short distance. The land is owned by State Sen. Voit Gilmore, who has said he would donate a portion 'of it for school purposes, and Pine hurst, Inc. Other owners might possibly be involved, according to what portion of the site was chos en for the school. It is expected that if the site is used, only about 100 acres of it would actually be acquired for school purposes, although—^not (Continued on Page 8) Kiii ■%- '-n NEW DEPUTY— Mrs. Rosemary Thomas, 21, is shown with Sheriff W.
