‘Guidelines’ To
Area Published
“Southern Pines Guide
lines,” a local information and
promotion booklet of interest
and usefulness to both visitors
and native residents, has been
published and widely distrib
uted in the Sandhills by John
Owen Jones and Cay Jones, in
cooperation with the Mer
chants Council and the Town’s
Resort Advertising Commit
tee.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones were re
tained by the committee last
fall to do news and publicity
work for the Town. The
booklet replaces an informa
tion brochure formerly issued
by the merchants.
“Guidelines” describes the
attractions of the area, golf
courses and places of interest
to visit, has a two-page map
of the area extending as far as
the airp*ort and the Country
Club of North Carolina, and
notes upcoming events of the
Spring season.
Restaurants, hotels, motels
and other service establish
ments and businesses have
advertising in the booklet. It
is available free at these pla
ces and at numerous other lo
cations serving the public.
Wildlife Convention
Scheduled At Raleigh
The annual state convention
of the North Carolina Wildlife
Federation with which the
Moore County Widllife Club
is associated, will be held at
the Sir Walter Hotel in Ra-
eigh, February 24-26.
Mrs. Cornelia Vann, secre
tary of the Moore Club, asked
The Pilot to bring the conven

with the North Carolina De

Pines is appropriating fund.
over a two-year period for the
initial phases of the planning
program while the federal
government more than match
es the town’s amount with
planning assistance funds un
der the new Department of
Housing and Urban Develop
ment.
The exhibit includes a large
aerial photograph mosaic of
the entire area, a base map
showing physical features, a
land-use map, a comprehen
sive zoning map, a proposed
thoroughfare plan, a subdivi
sion topographic model, and a
color slide show of “de;irable
and poor tasie examples” in
the vicinity.
According to Donald W.
Bradley of Southern Pines,
the community planner in
charge of the local work, who
also prepared the exhibit, the
purpose 'of the show is to in
form citizens of the planning
program and its progress.
“The planning process must
have knowledgable citizen
participation to be effective
and democratic,” he believes.
The display will be studied
by the Town Council, Planning
B'oard, Zoning Board, Parkway
Beautification Committee, in
terested civic orrganizations,
local public and parochial
school classes and the Commu
nity College and will be open
to the public during regular
library hours.
“It is hoped that people will
sign the guest book and record
their comments which will be
considered in formulating fur
ther design and recommenda
tions of the plan,” Bradley
said.
The Town will be provided
with published reports and
documents, including a popu
lation and economic study, a
land development plan, sub
division regulations, and a new
zoning ordinance “as guides to
insure an orderly physical de
velopment.”

3 Officials Of
Courts Plan To
Ask Reelection
Three Moore County elec
tive court officials all said
this week they plan to run
again in the Democratic pri
mary this May, in the last
elections for these particular
posts.
When another election year
rolls around. State court re
form will be well under way,
taking place in six North Ca
rolina districts this year, in
Moore and about 20 other
counties in 1968. The rest of
the State will follow in 1970.
Judge J. Vance Rowe of
Moore Recorder’s Court at
Carthage and W. Lament
Brown, solicitor, both said
they will seek reelection for
the coming term—the last one
of the court’s existence. With
the coming of the new dis
trict courts, the present lower
courts—both county and mu
nicipal—will terminate.
C. C. Kennedy of Carthage,
clerk of Moore Superior Court
since 1948, will run again for
this office, which will not be
voted on again. With the com
ing of court reform, it will be
appointive, not elective.
The courts and clerk’s office
will become responsibilities of
the State, no longer of the
county (or as in the case of
the Southern Pines and Aber
deen courts, of the municipali
ty).

20 ENROLLED AT UNION PINES SCHOOL
Students Taking Trade Courses
Twenty students at Union Pines High
School, between Carthage and Vass (mail
address: Route 1, Cameron) are taking part
in the Industrial Cooperative Training
(ICT) vocational education program there.
Both boys and girls are included.
After 1 pm each school day, they leave
their classrooms and go to jobs in a variety
of trade occupations. They work on Satur
days, too. For the on-the-job work, they
are paid wages comparable to those paid
any other employees of equal skill and
experience.
Thus, they are earning while they are
learning; and North Carolina educator's have
found, over the many years the program
has been operating in industrial plants and
businesses of this state, that it is turning out
young people wiio nave a big headstart in
the increasingly (femanding business of
making a living.
To enter the ICT prograrn a student must
be 17 years of age, must be a junior, must
be able to furnish some type of transporta

as well as verbal presentation
by the instructor. The spon

presentation will be varied
and interesting, not merely
a series of lectures each night.
New Telephone
Equipment Now
Arriving Here
Joe Kimball, district man

Company of the Carolinas,
Inc., has announced that cen
tral office equipment has
started arriving for the all-
new M'oore County Extended
Area, Service (EAS) and toll
switching center located in
Southern Pines.
The equipment will be in
stalled in the new building,
385^ West Pennsylvania Ave,
which is now under construc
tion. The new EAS system will
permit toll-free calls between
most areas of the county.
The Southern Pines instal
lation, which will consist of
2,500 lines of crossbar switch
ing equipment . will be the
largest-in- the Moore County
EAS network. In addition to
the equipment associated with
local and extended area ser
vice, a complete new set of
toll switchboard positions will
be placed into service.
According to Mr. Kimball,
more than $2 million will be
spent on updating equipment
and providing toll-free service
in Moore County. This expen
diture includes a new cross
bar central office recently in
stalled in Robbins and another
one planned for Carthage.
“Tentative plans now call
for the inauguration of Moore
County EAS on October 30,
1966,” Mr. Kimball said.
The equipment that has ar
