Two Moore YDCs Endorse EEC’s University Goal The Sandhills and the Adlai Stevenson Young Democratic clubs Thursday night unani- rnously endorsed East Caro lina College’s quest for inde pendent university status. The action was taken on a joint motion made after Dr. Leo Jenkins, ECC president, addressed a joint meeting of the two clubs at Sandhills Community College, home of the Adlai Stevenson club. Ap proximately 65 people attend ed the meeting, which was not officially connected j with the college. Among those voting in fav or of the motion was the col lege’s president. Dr. Raymond Stone, a member of the Sand hills YDC. Dr. Stone told Dr. Jenkins that the two-year Sandhills Com munity College is sending stu- j dents to four year East Caro- |lina and “we are looking for college teachers” from ECC. No hands were raised on the query whether there was bp- positibn to the motion. Not all the people in the audience voted on the motion but those who didn’t abstained because they were not YDC members. Among these were H. Clifton Blue of Aberdeen, chairman of the Sandhills College Board of Trustees, a former legisla tor, and a Democratic leader in Moore County. (Blue, replying to a report er’s questions after the meet ing, said he was neither for nor against the ECC goal and would have to study the mat ter more before he made a de cision.)

AT LIQUOR-LAW HEARING 5 Area Men Address Legislators Five Sandhills area men were among those who ex pressed favor at a legislative hearing in Raleigh of libera lizing the state’s liquor laws. They were Mayor Norris L. Hodgkins Jr., Town Attorney W. Lament Brown, Moore County Commissioner Robert Ewing and the Rev. Martin Caldwell, all of Southern Pines; and Richard Tufts, board chairman of Pinehurst, Inc., and grandson of Pine- hurst’s founder. They were among those ex pressing favor of local-option referenda on legalization of sales of liquor by the drink in licensed establishments. They also expressed favor of lega lizing “brown-bagging”—per mitting people to bring their liquor into restaurants. The statewide hearing be fore the House and Senate committees on resolutions and grievances in the auditorium of the State Legislative Build ing produced statements from opponents and supporters of legal liquor sales. The committeemen were told of the resolutions by the Southern Pines Town Council and the Board of Moore Coun ty Commissioners urging authorization for local-option votes on liquor by the I drink in three townships. Caldwell, rector of Em manuel Episcopal Church, was one of three North Carolina ministers who expressed favor at the hearing for liquor-by- the-drink legalization and re ceived statewide newspaper and television attention for his comments. Caldwell told the commit teemen that alcohol is not a problem — thie problem is the way people use it. “The moral value of alcohol,” he said, “depends entirely on the moral responsibility of the people who use it. “On - premises, local - op tion sales in certain areas and under certain conditions is the most responsible way.” Tufts said that if hotel own- (Continued. on Page 6) will open April 14 for seven days — except Sunday.

In other business at the re gular council session, the council: —Voted to continue at its next regular session a public hearing on a Planning Board recommendation to change the zoning classification of a West Southern Pines area to Neigh borhood Shopping, from Resi dential Single-Family. The af fected area lies on the south side of W. Pennsylvania Ave. between Stephens and Gaines to a depth of 200 feet. The Planning Board recom mended the change in zoning after hearing a request for it so a Sinclair service station can be built at W. Pennsyl vania and Stephens. The board decided to hear the matter further after list ening to statements from op ponents and proponents of the proposed change. Approxi mately 20 people ,most of them from the area around the site concerned, appeared at the hearing, —Approved a Planning Board recommendation to change zoning classification on Northwest Broad St. between Vermont and Rhode Island avenpes to a depth of 200 feet from Residential Multiple to Office and Professional. —Appointed David Drexel, Coueilman George H. Leonard Jr. and Town Manager F. F. Rainey to a committee to gather further infprmation in connection with Drexel’s re quest that the use of sail boats be permitted on the town re servoir. Drexel submitted the request last night. Marshall Staton of the State Depart ment of Health said sail-boat ing would be no more harm ful tp the reservoir than fishing, which is now permit ted. The boaters would pay for the services of a warden and buy a motor for his safe ty and sanitation-patrol boat, Drexel said. He said boats would be launched from docks, rather than from trail ers, to prevent contamination of the water from oil or grease; the boats, consequently would be small, and there would be about half a dozen of them at most. —Appointed the following to the Campbell House Board of Directors for three - year terms, by approving nomina tions submitted: Leonard, Miss Betty Dumaine, Mrs. Kitty Ostrom, Mrs. Dorothy McMil lan, and King Bullens. Previously named to re present other areas or groups were Albert Tufts, Pinehurst; Mrs. Felton Capel, West Southern Pines; Dr. Raymond Stone, county; and John Mc- Phaul, civis clubs.
