C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1966 rWENTY-SIX PAGES PRICE: 10 CENTS Council Tables Zoning Request For Home Office The Southern Pines Town Council Tuesday night tabled a request to permit a profes sional office in an osteopath’s home scheduled for construc tion on Midland Road. This means it will take a two-thirds vote by the council to bring the matter up for discussion again. The tabling motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Felton Capel during a public hearing on the request of Dr. Henry W. Frey, Jr. The Plan ning Board by a 4-1 majority recommended earlier this this month that the council ap prove the request. Frey’s attorney, Howard Broughton, told the council last night Frey bought the property last November, be fore the zoning ordinance was enacted. He also said the home, to be built in an area zoned as Residential Agricultural un der the ordinance, was planned primarily as a dwelling. He said no more than two patients at any one time would be in the office and that no one outside the home would be employed there. W. Lament Brown said the plan for the dwelling does not fit the definition of “condi tional use’’ under the zoning ordinance, because the office is included in the plan. He said this shows the house’s purpose is twofold: an office and a dwelling. Dr. and Mrs. Frey plan to move here from Forest Hills, Long Lsland, N. Y. He has had his offices in New York City. Opponents to the doctor’s request said they would wel come Dr. and Mrs. Frey as neighbors and that their ob jections were to an exception being made to the zoning law applying to the” neighborhood. 0^ PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE H.

Parker Home The award of the Bronze Star, for heroism in combat, has been made to First Lt. James E. Parker, Jr., who may not even know about it yet. Lt. Parker left Vietnam Sep tember 9, flying westward for a delay en route in Europe, and is expected home some time this week.

Coppedge Set Up Training For Medics With Green Berets By BILL LINDAU Lt.Col. Richard C. Coppedge of Southern Pines, who devel oped the medical organization of the Army’s guerrilla-train ing Special Forces troops and the surgeons’ section of the Special Warfare Center, is back in medical school for seven months. Coppedge, 44-year-old chief surgeon at the John F. Ken nedy Center for Special War fare at Fort Bragg, went to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Balti more, Md., in early Septem ber to take a seven-month course in hygiene and health. The course will give him credit toward his doctoral de gree in international health. After finishing the present course, he probably will return to Southeast Asia to gather material for his doctoral the sis. The doctor has been in Viet- Nam several times on medical survey missions among Spe cial Forces teams of Green Berets, accompanying Maj. Gen. William Yarborough, then commander of the Special Warfare Center. “The support of the popu lation is essential to the guer rilla,” the officer told this re porter before going to Balti more. “Through medicine we try to win the support of the pop ulation.” Coppedge, the son of a re tired Presbyterian medical missionary, displayed a mis sionary’s intensity and con cern when he was talking about medical work in Viet nam. New Breed He is a new breed of soldier who has emerged to meet the needs of the counter-guerrilla operation. The modern Special Forces trooper primarily is a soldier teaching and advising native troops how to fight as guerrillas and against hostile guerrillas. But he also builds roads, bridges, drainage ditches and public buildings for native (Continued on pg. 2 Sec. 4) At Slate Meet Sam H. Poole, 32-year-old Southern Pines attorney, goes to Winston-Salem this week end with every expectation of being elected president of the State YDC. Though he has been cam paigning for several weeks, he has done it with a relaxed air, for there has been no oppo sition, nor hint of any, since ha began. Visiting numerous clubs throughout the State, he has received a warm welcome at most of them, and has garner ed a sheaf of influential en dorsements. The Moore County club gave him. its support through ex ecutive committee action in August, implemennting it with an endorsing resolution adop ted by the membership in an nual convention last Thursday night at Carthage. The club taking nochances, is sending representatives to the State convention, Friday and Saturday at the Robert E. Lee Hotel.

About 150 persons attended the meeting held in the Pine- hurst school auditorium, with Southern Pines, Pinehurst, Aberdeen and West End school communities — the high schools of which will be merg ed in the new Area III school —all well represented. Joe S. Lennon of Aberdeen, chairman of the Area III ad visory council, presided over the meeting, at which a wide ranging citizen study of all aspects of the school’s opera tion and curriculum was ex plained and initiated. Mrs. E. Nolley Jackson of Southern Pines had accepted the chairmanship of the Citi zens Council which will direct the study, with Billy McKen zie of West End and Pinehurst as vice-chairman and Mrs. Juanita Auman of Aberdeen as Community Foundation Organized The Southern Pines Founda tion for religious, charitable, scientific and cultural purposes has been organized, N. L. Hodgkins, president of the Citizens Bank and Trust Co., announced yesterday. He said it is patterned after more than 200 similar com munity foundations in the United States and will be qualified as tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code. Trusts may be established with the income, and capital where specified, being expend ed under the direction of a foundation committee. The committee will be com posed of seven members —Two to be selected by the town council of Southern Pines, two by the Moore Coun ty board of commissioners and three by the Citizens Bank and Trust Co. The trustees will elect the Foundation officers. Hodgkins stated that he trust setting up the Founda tion provided that other banks in Moore county may elect later to become trustees. He cited the experience of Winston-Salem, where a simi lar foundation was establish ed in 1919. This founda tion now has assets of about $20,000,000 and has con tributed much to the communi ty since its establishment. Gifts to the Foundation may be directed for the use of a (Continued on Page 6) secretary, it was reported by S. Edison Powers, assistant superintendent of Moore County schools. Everyone present was invit ed to fill out a card indicating his or her chief area of inter est, and willingness to serve on a subcommittee. The studies will be used as aids in plan ning for the school, and will be published as a guide for other systems in consolidation situations. Powers said. The three guest speakers, representing the Regional Cur riculum Project which will work closely with the study, were Mrs. Mary Evans of Raleigh, State coordinator of Title V, ESEA, under which the Regional Curriculum Pro ject was established, and who, before assuming her present post in July, was well known as North Carolina’s only wo man superintendent (of Dare County schools); Dr. Wayne Teague, of the education de partment of Auburn Universi ty, who has served as con sultant for schools all over the country; and Dr. Foster Wat kins, a member of the central staff of the Project at Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Evans explained that the Moore County system was selected for participation in the Project because of its con solidation situation, to provide a “laboratory study” through which the leadership role of the State Department of Pub lic Instruction in effecting de sirable change may be stren- thened, to benefit the schools. Through this participation, for which only four systems in the State—24 in six southeastern states—have been chosen, a wide range of consultant ser vices will be provided at all stages of the transition. Dr. Teague, who with his colleagues had spent the day visiting schools and holding discussions with Moore County school staffers, told the group, “Your schools are on the way to becoming an outstanding system.” He explained that the consensus of experts is that a school population of 10,000 to 25,000 is “ideal,” and that the ideal community—or county, (Continued on Page 6) REP.

Nine votes were challenged for various reasons, but Na tional Labor Relations Board representative John Conneton of Winston-Salem said' pro bably no action would be ta ken because the number would not affect the outcome of the election. A union spokesman indica ted the union would file an objection, Conneton said. He said the union has until next Tuesday to file with the NLRB. The election, called by the NLRB, was a rerun of an elec tion held for the plant em ployees August 25, 1964. The vote then was 332 to 182 against union representation. But the NLRB last June set aside the results on findings of ■unfair labor practices before the election. The company reported 599 of the 642 eligible employees voted yesterday. Conneton supervised the election. The voting was ob served by two representatives each for the company and union. “Outward Bound” School Tough Adventure For Pinehurst Youth By BILL LAINDAU In 28 vigorous exhausting days last summer, 17-year-old Boris deNissoff of Pinehurst grew heavier and stronger, and acquired a new view about his ability to surmount any sort 'of obstacle.

The bids will be reviewed' by the Commission when it meets Friday of next week, and it is expected that con tracts will be let at that time. The new bridge will replace the old “high bridge” just south of the village of High falls, which, while not con sidered unsafe structurally, is deemed outmoded in the light of modern traffic demand's on a main arterial highway. Res idents of the Highfalls area have long complained of the bridge, and urged the building of a new one. This was the only Moore County project on the bid list. as reservations manager. Smith will handle reservations and supervise all front of the house activities. Mrs. Betty Lewis, for six years manager of Howard Johnson Motor Lodge and briefly associated with Trav eller’s Directory Service as public relations director in Winston-Salem, joins the Car olina staff as assistant man ager.

S. Outward School has been proposed for North Carolina’s Linville Gorge, a piece of wild forested mountain laced with high clifts and split by a plunging river 'of powerful rapids. It has been called by naturalists and National Park Service people the most rugged wild erness in Eastern America. In an interview last week end, Boris, a Pinehurst High School senior, said this of his experience: “Last year I used to goof 'off when I had a theme to write. Now" I go ahead and do it. When it looks rough I re member the times when I thought I couldn’t make it (at Outward Bound School). But I did.” "Drown-proofing" One of the times was when he was taking the drown- proofing session. This means 30 minutes spent floating in freezing water in the camp lake. An instructor stands by in a canoe as a lifeguard. After a while, deNissoff said, he thought he couldn’t take any more and would have to grab the instructor’s paddle and pull himself aboard. But then he decided he could, and he made it to the (Continued on pg. 3 Sec. 3) Free Barbeeued Chieken Supper Served To All Moore County Democrats are preparing a welcome for hundreds — or hopefully, thousands—of their fellow De mocrats from all counties of the Fourth District at a cam paign rally and free supper Saturday at 6 pm at Aberdeen Lak'. The occasion will honor Con gressmen Harold D. Cooley and Congressman Wilbur Mills of Arkansas, coming here on Cooley’s behalf as keynote speakei. This will be the first time in local recollection that chair men 'of two of the most pow- _^erful congressional commit tees have been in Moore Coun ty at the same time, or appear ing on the same program. Cooley heads the House Ways and Means committee, the two men being among the most in fluential in the House of Rep resentatives. With the Moore County hosts keeping fingers crossed against bad weather, 1,000 Moore County broilers will be barbecued, a half-broiler to a plate, with trimmings, to serve the expected influx. The broilers are being donated by Paul Morgan, a Greensboro poultry procesor and Norman Purvis, Highfalls p'oultry grower. The Aberdeen precinct committee is in charge of food preparation. The speaking program, from a lighted trailer platform, will start about 7 pm, or as soon as everyone is served. J. Elvin Jackson, chairman of the Moore Democratic executive committee, host organization, will preside. H. Clifton Blue of Aberdeen will present Rep. Cooley, who will speak briefly, then present Rep. Mills. Local candidates who, like Cooley, are in campaign con tests will be recognized and given the opportunity to make two-minute speeches if they desire. The Carolina Country Boys, a lively combo of radio fame, will furnish music before and after the speeches. At 5 pm preceding the sup per, the Moore County com mittee will be host for a so cial hour at the Whispering Pines Restaurant, with the two Congressmen, along with chairmen and vice-chairmen of each county’s executive com mittee, as honor guests. Former Governor Fritz Hol- lings of South Carolina was originally billed as rally spea ker, but found he could not spare the time from his own hot campaign for the U. S. Senate. Through Cooley’s good offices, Mills became a head line pinch-hitter. Responses received by Chairman Jackson to invita tions sent to other counties indicate that each county in the “Fighting Fourth” will have a delegation present, and some chartered busloads may arrive. Nearly all precinct commit tees in Moore have jobs to do in connection with the event, supplementing the executive committeemen. SCHOOL CLOSINGS While the East Southern Pines schools will be closed Tuesday while teachers and principals attend the district NCEA meeting (see story else where in this issue), the West Southern Pines schools will be closed for a day later in the fall, because of a similar meet ing for their teachers, date to be announced later, said Supt.
