Young Democratic Clubs, in .the
election to be held at the Clubs’
annual convention September 29-
October 1 in Winston-Salem.
Poole, who is well-known in
YDC circles throughout North
Carolina, has served as chair
man of various committees in
the state organization, and in
1965 was named one of North
Carolina’s top 10 Young Demo
crats.
“Democrats from all sections
of the state have encouraged me
to seek this office,” he said. “I
look forward to a vigorous cam

“Much has been done to im
prove relations between the YDC
and the senior party,” Poole
noted, “and I will strive to in
crease coc^ration and coordi
nation between these groups.'
“Though YDC members have
varying political philosophies, aU
possess one common goal: a
strong, unified Democratic Par

“I am especially appreciative
of the strong support and en
couragement given me by Moore
County Democrats,” the 32-year-
old Poole said. He has been en
dorsed unanimously by the execu
tive committee of the Moore
County YDC.
Poole is a 1962 graduate of .the
UNC Law School and also re

The local team, already num

Larry Solomon pitched a two-

The local VFW Post treated
the team to a supper at the post
home last Thursday. “We are
very appreciative of the fine
support and encouragement they
have given us,” said Coach Bill
Scott.
Mr. Scott encouraged Southern
Pines residents to attend the
final championship game.
addition to the Southern Pines-
Pinehurst Airport is schduled for
completion in less than 30 days,
according to Buck McKenzie, who
leases the facility from the coun
ty.
The addition was made to
provide additional parking and
taxi space for planes.
“Before this, one airliner dis
charging passengers clogged the
apron and other planes had to
await the airliner’s departure to
park, if they didn’t want to go
on the grass,” McKenzie noted.
More and more private jets
are using the airport, and pilots
of these planes will usually not
take them off the pavement
either for fear of miring the,
heavy planes in soft ground or
picking up a rock which could
damage the engines.
“Now we will have two entr
ances to the apron, forming a
circular pattern,” McKenzie ex
plained. (See diagram)
Piedmont Airlines, which ser
ves the Sandhills area, has al-,
ready changed to prop-jet air
craft. These are propeller-driven
planes which use jet engines to
turn the props.
They are now planning to
turn to “pure” jet aircraft, and
have ordered six 80-passenger,
two-engine jets, said McKenzie.
“It is possible that they may
have one or two such planes in
operation within six months,”
McKenzie said. “But before they
can land here we will have to
add an additional 1,000 feet to
'ur runway, along with a par
allel taxiway.”
The runway is presently 4,500
feet long, and McKenzie noted
that discussions would soon get
underway on the proposed, addi
tion. “The' County has ptehty of
land; the problem is to find the
money,” he said.
He stressed the importance of
a proposed taxiway to parallel
the present runway for about
half its length. “This is so a
plane going down to the end of
incoming planes,” McKenzie ex
plained.
Money has been appropriated
to provide for three “T” hangers,
each designed to hold one small
plane, and all connected. Others
can be added as they are needed,
McKenzie said.
The winter season will start
about October 1, and regular air
port hours then will be from 8
am until 10 pm.
