from the State Department of
Education and outside the
State, as desired.
The far-reaching study ex
pected to result, which will be
documented and published, has
been selected for the unit’s
participation in the Regional
Curriculum Project, financed!
under the federal ESEA Title
V, to bring leadership and re
sources of the State Depart
ment into full cooperation with
the local representatives in
facilitating desirable change.
With the consolidation not
to go into effect until July 1,
1967, and the $2-million school
not yet built, slated to open in
September 1968, Supt. Lee was
asked why a principal should
be employed and citizen studies
begun so far in advance.
New Ideas Expected
He said, “The architects
need to know what the people
want, what the curriculum will
entail and what extra-curri
cular activities will be em
bodied in the plans, before
they can do their best job in
planning the school. We expect
there will be many new ideas,
drawn from the whole field of
modern education. It will take
the full two years to make and
carry out these plans.
“The principal can also do
his best job if he is in on the
plans, and also contributing to
them, as early as possible.”
A new principal working this
year elsewhere in the State
could! come in from time to
time for consultation, or one
living near could be present
at many or most of the meet
ings, Supt. Lee pointed out.
A 'numl^eT' of applications
were received after ads were
placed by the Moore County
Board of Education in leading
state papers last month, with
Supt. Lee contacting depart
ments of education and place

will take place next Tuesday
at the Proctor-Silex plant here

HOLIDAY SCENE — Some of the ap

at an outdoor supper at the Elks Lodge-
Southern Pines Country Club cookout area
Monday (Labor Day) evening are shown in
this view of the happy, relaxed scene. Note
crowded picnic tables in the background.

when this picture was mad'e — and others
were yet to come. (Humphrey photo)
500 Choose Golf, Cookout Over Travel
About 500 persons were serv
ed at the Elks Club-Southern
Pines Country Club cookout
area on Labor Day, when the
Elks, in conjunction with the
club and the Sandpipers, men’s
golfing group, staged one of
their three annual holiday
events.
A golf tournament preceded
the big picnic of charcoal-
broiled hamburgers, and hot-
dogs with plenty of trimmings.
Golf and picnics have been
sponsored by the groups on
Labor Day, July 4 and Easter,
for the past eight years, with
the avowed aim of keeping
members off the dangerous
highways by providing food
and entertainment for whole
families.
Monday’s event was one of
the best attended. The Elks
Lodge has 605 members, the
Country Club 250 and the
Sandpipers, all SPCC members,
number 85.
Special thanks were extend
ed to the volunteer cooks who
included: Jack Barron, John
Buchholz, Joe Matthews, Hol
lis Thompson, Carl Lee, Shag
Mattocks, Joe Garzik, Slim
Forsyth and Roland White. The
Buchholz children served iced
tea and soft drinks.
Elks officials said that the
bloom was somewhat taken off
the v/eekend by vandalism at
the Country Club swimming
pool which took place the pre
vious Saturday night and made
the pool unusable Sunday and
Monday. Chairs, tables, un-
brellas, waste cans and even
ash trays were thrown into the
pool by unknown vandals, of-
ficals said.
tor-Silex visit on Tuesday,
Leo F. Walsh, Jr., Southern
Pines bloodmobile chairman,
said that the company man
agement “has graciously per
mitted us to invite the public
to use this opportunity to don
ate blood,” as well as the plant
employees for whom the visit
is primarily scheduled.
Urging residents of this area
to “share your good health”
by donating a pint of blood,
Walsh pointed out that blood-
mobile collections are the only
source of whole blood avail
able to the two hospitals in
Moore County.
He also noted that a certain
percentage of Red Cross blood
is now being sent to armed
forces overseas and that “our
obligation is therefore increas
ed in the interest 'of national
security.”
However, he said, “most of
the blood we donate is used
by our own friends and rela
tives right here in the coun
ty.”
