Skyline Manor
Sets Opening,
Mon., April 4
Recently, news came about
two long-lived hotels in Pine-
hurst and Southern Pines.
This week comes word of a
new hotel on Highway 1, at
the north end’ of the bypass.
This time it is a house turn
ed into a hotel.
Mr. and Mrs. John C.
Schultz, formerly of Oyster
Bay, N. Y., have remodelled
“Skyline,” a spacious brick
home on a large tract of land,
and are planning to open their
new venture on Monday, April
4, as Skyline Manor, a resi
dential hotel with dining room
facilities.
When Mr. and Mrs. Schultz
bought “Skyline,” it was their
idea to live there. While the
building was being refurbished
a bit, they stayed in the cot
tage nearby and it was not
long before they began to
think the cottage was just
what they wanted for their
home. They decided to keep
the big house as it was for a
while. It had been run as a
guest house by Mr. and Mrs.

pose, meeting requirement.^
under the law for the coming
primary and general elections.
For the future, they discuss
ed the possibility of seeking
legislative authority in 1967
to reapportion on the basis of
voting precincts rather than
by the old townships of widely
disparate population.
Commissioners will contin

as before—one from each dis
trict, the winner in each being
the one receiving the highest
countywide vote.

County’s First Zoning Ordinance
Applies To College-Airport Area
The Moore County commis
sioners Tuesday afternoon
adopted the county’s first zon
ing ordinance, .applying spe
cifically to the Sandhills Com
munity College-airport area,
but comprehensively worded
to provide a basis for future
zoning in other areas.
The action followed a public
hearing at which only a hand
ful of people appeared, inclu
ding eight residents of the
area involved. Most of thetn
expressed their views, some
endorsing the measure, and
others, while not actually pro
testing it, expressing concern
lest the rights of the individual
property oWner be lost in do
ing what he wants with his
own land.
The ordinance, prepared un
der the statute, after weeks of
study, by the Moore County
planning board, was presented
by Leonard Tufts of Pinehurst,
chairman, assisted by Donald
Bradley of Southern Pines,
planner with the State Depart
ment of Conservation and De
velopment’s community plan
ning division, who has worked
with the board since its estab
lishment last fall.
The explanations were
made with the help of a large
map prepared by the C&D
community planning division,
showing the zoned area ex
tending from the Southern
Pines mile-wide perimeter (al
ready zoned under authority of
the municipality) to a boun
dary 3,200 feet north of the
