The action was taken during a directors’ din ner meeting at Whispering Pines Restaurant.

The action on the resolution followed statements by South ern -Pines area resort-facility executives. The executives said in effect that a system of on-premises liquor sales is necessary to prevent serious loss of tourist business to resort areas like Augusta, Ga., and Myrtle Beach, S. C. Tourist-facility executives told the councilmen that the area already has suffered se vere losses of tourist business because of the State Supreme Court’s ruling that “brown- bagging” is illegal. At the same time, one re sort-facility spokesman —W. Harry Fullenwider—told the council that “brown-bagging at best is unacceptable to Moore County. . . regardless of what the legislature does.” The 1967 General Assembly is ex pected to act on the liquor situation. He said he was speaking for the Southern Pines Country Club and him- 1 self. The resolution was drawn up prior to the council meet ing, the regular session for January, by W.

State Trooper F. R. Wicker said that a car driven by Mel vin Leo Fowler, 50, 'of Aber deen, had turned from the northbound lane and was crossing the southbound lanes to the theatre entrance when it was struck by a southbound car driven by Norman Ken neth McKenzie, 22, of South ern Pines. The impact centered 'on the right front portions of the cars. It virtually demolished them both as it drove them up into the theatre lane, and threw several of the seven oc cupants—including four chil dren from the Fowler car. A private ambulance took five victims to M'oore Memorial hospital. Sandhills Rescue Unit No. 4 carried the rest. The lane was blocked for some time and severe traffic prob lems resulted. Admitted to the hospital with deep laceratioins and | or dislocations and fractures were Fowler, his wife Dora, 48; their son Michael, 10; Mrs. Grace Bennett, 40, her daugh ter J'oyce Bennett, 15; and Becky Lentz, 8, all of Aber deen; and David Lawrence McKenzie, 15, of Southern Pines, the only passenger in his brother’s car. Norman McKenzie, less seri ously hurt than the others, was given first aid treatment at the hospital and released. A young daughter of the Fowlers, also in their car, was taken to the hospital but found to be unhurt. Her name was not recorded by the troop er. Fowler was cited to Aber deen court for making an un safe turn, the officer said. Fowler told the trooper he was unfamiliar with the thea tre entrance, was confused by the lights and lanes and found he was heading into the exit instead of the entrance lane. He hesitated, trying to find the right way to get into the theatre property, and in that moment the collision occurred. Council Adopts Ordinance In Housing Program The Town Council last night enacted an ordinance author izing elimination of unsafe houses in connection with the local public housing program. Property owners would be required to eliminate objec tionable conditions within a reasonable length of time. The building inspector is authoriz ed to institute condemnation proceedings on failure of prop erty owners to comply with the orders. A petition signed by five persons would send the in spector to the dwelling indi cated in a complaint. He would determine for himself whether the building should be repair ed or destroyed. The property owner would be notified of the conditions. A public hear ing would be held so the own er could answer the complaint. The affected owner also could obtain an injunction from a court stopping action by the building inspector pend ing a court decision. The council enacted the or- (Continued on Page 8) J. R.

The con tribution, authorized by Pres ident E. W. Smail, represents approximately $5 for each tel ephone company employee, it was pointed out. Smail said, “We feel that in making this donation, perhaps our own employees, as well as the community at large, will be better served. Great peace of mind is afforded by having this group of men available.” Members of the Rescue Squad are not paid for their services, but Squad Four needs approximately $25,000 to com plete a building under con struction to house its equip ment, and also to purchase ad ditional and more efficient equipment. (Continued on Page 8) Officers Watch For Beer Sales To Young People Southern Pines police and state ABC officers keep watch ing for sales of beer to minors ;—people under the age of 18— the Town Council was told Tuesday night. Town Manager F. F. Rainey made the statement during the council’s regular January meeting. He pointed out that a man was ordered in Southern Pines Recorder’s Court last Wednesday to surrender his beer license for selling beer to a minor. The judge of the court, W. Harry Fullenwider, said after Rainey spoke that, for the in formation of the press, the term “minor” under the law applies to anyone under age 18 — 17-year-old soldiers in uniform and 17-year-old col lege students, for example, and not only high school stu dents.
