C., THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1965 TWENTY-TWO PAGES Little League Area Playoffs Scheduled Here Community support was asked this week for a major project of the Southern Pines Merchants Council — sponsoring Little Lea gue baseball area playoffs here, July 20-31. W. P. Davis, chairman of the Council’s committee for the event, said a commitment has been re ceived that two teams from Greenville and one each from Robersonville, Tarboro, Warsaw and Southern Pines will take part in the playoffs which are expected to draw many visitors to the community. Letters have been sent out to merchants and other business and professional people here, ask ing for $10 contributions (more would be welcome, the letter said) to defray expenses for bleacher seats, press box and other items. The letters enclosed windshield or show-window decals for dis play, “so all in Southern Pines will know you are helping.” Lit tle League rules do not allow an admission charge to games,- so all expenses must be met by con tributions, the letter explains. Games will be played at the of ficial Little League park on Mor- ganton Road opposite the Nation al Guard Armory.

PRICE: 10 CENTS Mackall Proposed But Rejected As Site For Huge Atomic Lab There was a flurry of excite ment in this area this week when it was learned that the big Campj Mackall tract, just south of Moore County, was being pro posed to the Atomic Energy Commission in Washington as one of two North Carolina sites for possible location of a $280 million National Accelerator Laboratory for Research In High Energy Physics.

However, Ben Utley, director of the East side program, and Joe Wynn, West side director, expect their wide range of activi ties for youngsters and adults to move along as scheduled, once the sun starts shining.

Because bicycle riding on side walks'has become a nuisance and has caused several recent acci dents in which elderly people have been struck. Police Chief Earl S. Seawell has opened a bi cycle law enforcement campaign. Local officers have been in structed to warn all children riding a bicycle on the sidewalk —^which is against the law here. Names will be taken and letters will be sent to parents stating that if the child is caught again court action will be taken, the chief said. Following is a copy of the letter which goes out signed by Chief Seawell. About a dozen of the letters had already been sent, early this week: “Dear Parent: “Your child- was stop ped by a Southern Pines Police Officer on ——for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk. South ern Pines has a law prohibiting riding bicycles on the sidewalk. “During the past several weeks we have had several elderly peo ple hit by bicycles and are ask ing your help in putting a stop to this before someone is badly in jured. “If your child is caught again riding a bicycle on the sidewalk, we will have to proceed with court action against the child. Also, the parent could be held responsible for any injury result ing from an accident. “Enclosed is a copy of Bicycle Safety Rules and Regulations.] Please make sure that your child! knows them.” j Eight teachers have been se lected to work with approxi mately 190 summer school stu dents in the Southern Pines Schools this summer. Registration for all classes will be held on Friday, June 18, at the high school office from 9 am to 4 pm. Classes will begin Mon day, June 21, at 8 am.

The bill authorizes the county commissioners to call a countywide election on whether the county. South ern Pines and Pinehurst school systems will be con solidated into a single coun ty system; and separately, on whether there will be a countywide special supple mentary school tax not ex ceeding 30 cents per $100 of property valuation. Details of organization and election of a new seven-member county school board are also spelled out, for use if consol idation is approved. No complete copy of the final bill, as amended last week, has been available locally. Next week. The Pilot will review in detail this and other Moore County legisla tion enacted during the General Assembly's session. Slate Sen. Voit Gilmore of Southern Pines and Moore Rep. Clyde Aunian of West End were winding up their legislative duties in Raleigh today. FUNDS ALLOTTED Conservation and Development, Mr. Saunders revealed Wednes day that the delegation had been informed the Mackall area could AEC requirements. The revelation came Wednes day from the tri-weekly News- Messenger of Hamlet which scooped the state’s press in an exclusive telephone interview with Mr. Saunders who was ^oted by the paper as saying that Mackall would not be chos en and continued: “I hate to be the one to tell you this, since I live in that part of the state also, but perhaps it is better to go ahead and let the public know the facts so they won’t get their hopes too high.” The News-Messenger quoted the C & D head as saying that Mackall was ruled out primarily because of its sandy soil which was not deemed stable enough as base for the gigantic, mile- wide structure that would be erected on the 3,000-acre site the AEC stipulated for the atomic lab. Also, the News-Messenger said, the Mackall area would be deficient in hotel and motel ac commodations for the thousand visiting researchers and students who would be constantly coming and going. The facility itself would employ some 2,000 perma nent scientists and engineers. Mentioned also as a drawback was the lack of a close, large airport, providing service to all (Continued on Page 8) DESPITE DISEASE Boosters Set Supper Meeting For June 23 At a covered dish supper meet ing at the Southern Pines Coun try Club, Wednesday, June 23, at 6:30 p.m., the Blue Knights Boosters Club will elect officers, hear a report on athletics of the past year at East Southern Pines High School and present a check to the school as the club’s con tribution to the athletic program.

(Humphrey photo) 60 RECEIVE DIPLOMAS HERE Refuse To Be Satisfied With ‘Synthetic Living,’ Graduates Told By Speaker Speaking to the 60 graduates qf East Southern Pines High School at exercises in a packed Weaver Auditorium last Thursday night, Tom Wicker, Hamlet native and chief of The New York Times Washington Bureau, told the young people that if they refuse to be satified with “synthetic living,” they will still know the meaning of struggle and challenge —and “the going will get rough er and richer.” He said he doesn’t ask any more of the graduates’ generation than “to keep the old Adam in the human heart.” “Never be afraid' to laugh,” Mr. Wicker urged. “If you aren’t, you won’t be afraid to doubt, either.. . Laugh hardest of all at anybody who tells you there is any one true way to believe Diplomas were presented to the graduates by Dr. C. C. Mc Lean, chairman of the board of education, who was introduced by Glenn L. Cox, high school principal. Supt. J. W. Jenkins congratulated each graduate. Mr. Jenkins introduced the speaker who worked here nearly 20 years ago as executive secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Nancy Clara Tate delivered the salutatory and Charles Allan Mc Laughlin, Jr., the valedictory. The High School Band played for processional and recessional and performed during the pro gram. Special features— the reading of board of education resolution (Continued on Page 8) Moore Projects Get Help From Assembly Bills Two Moore County projects got a boost from the General As sembly in bills ratified' last week. An appropriation of $50,000 (reduced in committee from a re quested $64,000) was authorized for facilities at the Weymouth Woods—Sandhills Nature Pre serve just East of Southern Pines. And $14,000 was made available for construction of a caretaker’s house at the Alston House (“House in the Horseshoe”), a State historic site in Deep River Township, where the bullet-scar- red old residence was restored and furnished by the Moore County Historical Association. It is the site of a Revolutionary War skirmish. At Weymouth Woods, the ap propriation will provide for a combined nature museum and ranger’s office. L. M. Goodwin, Jr., is in charge at the tract. Also included in the project is a short road into the property and con- stmetion of a parking area, along with more work on the trails and continued identification marking of plants and trees. Backing the Weymouth Woods bill were the county’s two legis lators, Sen. Voit Gilmore and Rep. Clyde Auman; Rep. Pat Taylor, speaker of the House; W. P. Saunders of Southern Pines, director of the Department of Conservation and Development; Lt. Gov. Robert Scott and others. The Nature Preserve is a unit of the State Parks system. Bumper Crop Of Peaches Likely: Most Since’51 North Carolina’s estimated peach crop points to a production of 1,700,000 bushels, as compared with the very short crop of 250,- 000 bushels produced in 1964 ac cording to the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service. If the present forecast materializes, the crop will be the largest since 1951 when the harvest was the same as expected for this year. Reported condition of peaches is at a near record level, and the reported yield per tree is the highest of record. The loss to dis ease 'of a large volume of trees in the Sandhills has been largely offset by new plantings both in and outside the Sandhills. Better management of orchards in carrying out more effective programs of fertilization, prun ing, spraying and tillage has in creased production potentials. Weather conditions have been very favorable for peach produc tion this year, and a bumper crop is expected in all areas of the State, according to the Crop Re porting Service. Former Resident Faces Murder Trial, Charlotte Richard Harloe Caldwell, 16- year-old Charlotte boy who is a former resident of S'outhem Pines, is scheduled to go on trial Monday in Mecklenburg Superi or Court for the fatal beating of Deanna (Penny) Green, 18. Caldwell moved to Charlotte with his family several years ago, after residing and attending school here. He was indicted on a first degree murder charge Wed nesday. He is accused of killing the girl, a neighbor, in his home April 27, and placing her body, which was found several days later, under the Caldwell house. Aberdeen Tax Rate Increase Approved The Aberdeen town board, in regular meeting Monday night, tentatively approved an estima ted budget of $124,075 for 1965- 66, with a tax rate of $1.35 per $100 property valuation. The rate, up from $1.25, repre sents the first municipal tax hike in many years. While the 1960 property revaluation resulted in a slight boost of revenue, the ac tual rate remained unchanged at that time. The budget reflects the higher cost of city services, anticipated expenses in connection with ■:he current water and sewer survey and a capital outlay item of $9,- 700, of which about half is ear marked for an addition to the Fire House, said town officials. THE WEATHER Maximum and minimum tem peratures for each day of the past week were recorded as follows at the U. S. Weather Bureau obser vation station at the W E E B studios on Midland Road. Max. Mdn.
