The original request sought the zoning change for the en tire 400 feet of the block be tween Gaines and Stephens. The distance was reduced by the petitioner, however, to exclude the property of the Trinity AME Zion Church. The council was given the church trustees’ request last night for exclusion of the church property from the pro posed change. At the first session of the public hearing last month, several arguments for and against the recommendation were expressed, but few spoke during last night’s continua tion of the hearing. The council’s approval was based primarily on the fact that the Planning Board had approved the original request and its revised version; and that the area across the street fro'm the affected block has been rezoned to a neighbor hood shopping classification. These points were express ed between them by two coun- cilmen—Dr. R. J. Dougherty, and Mayor Pro Tern Felton Capel just before the motion for approval of the Planning Board rcommendation was submitted. The motion was made by Dr. Dougherty and (Continued on Page 8) CAMPBELL HOUSE OFFICERS—Camp bell House, Inc., officers were elected last week at the organizational meeting of the permanent board of directors.

ON SUNDAYS, MAY 7 AND MAY 14 ass Anti-Measles Drive Set The Moore County Medical Socety and the county’s Pub lic Hea’th Department are co operating in a mass measles vaccination campaign that will take place at four locations on two Sundays in May. There will be no charge to anyone for the service. The-project is in line with a nation-wide campaign, spear headed by the American Medical Association, to im- mun ze millions of children, a year old or older, and adults who have never had measles, with the goal of wiping out measles which the AMA de scribes as an “often dangerous and sometimes deadly di sease.” The Moore County effort is headed by Dr. A. G. Siege, county health director, and Di. H. David Bruton, local pedia trician, who were asked by the county Medical Society to coordinate the campaign. Physicians wno will perform the immunizations will be at the following locations on the days and times indicated: Sunday, 'May 7 Carthage, the county Health Center, 1 to 3 pm. Vass, at the Vass-Lakeview school gym, 4 to 5 pm. Sunday, May 14 Southern Pines, at the East Southern Pines school cafe teria, 1 to 3 pm. West End, at the West End schoo’ cafeter.’a, 4 to 5 pm. Ease and speed of the im munization procedure will be increased, the physicians said, because the county health de partment has a “vaccine gun” that eliminates the much slower and more uncomfort able use of needles. With the gun, the vaccine is injected as a spray through the skin—described by Dr. Siege as “a very fast opera tion.” The vaccine will be provid ed through the State Board of Health from Federal govern ment sources and will be (Continued on Page 8) general admission tickets, who must leave their cars out o.f sight of the track.

Congressmen Galifianakis and Kornegay. Other members of the North Carolina Congressional delega tion, including Senators Ervin and Jordan, are unable to at tend. In addition to the five regu lar races on the program, four over hurdles and one on the flat, there will be a mule race, with 10 entries, that in past years has produced some comedy, and a relay race featuring teams representing organized hunts, with mem bers garbed in colorful hunt ing attire. The Sandhills Cup, being run for the 27th time—it is older than the Stoneybrook meet itself—is again the featur ed contest on the card—three miles over timber. The other races are: the Yadkin, a mile and a half over hurdles; The Silver Run, seven furlongs on the turf; the Stoneybrook Open Hurdle, about one and three-quarters miles; and the Tangle wood, a’so about one and three- quarters miles over hurdles. Deta'led programs listing horses, owners, trophy donors, and other information on each race will be for sale on the grounds. In addition to the several committees of Sandhills resi dents (named previously in JThe Pilot) who are working on various aspects of the hunt race meet, the following will serve as stewards (governing supervisors): William H. Frantz of Southern Pines, Austin A. Brown of Delaware Park, Del., F. Eugene Dixon of Philadelphia, Pa., and Ran dolph D. Rouse of Arlington, Va. Mr. Rouse is bringing two well known steeplechasers, lambic and Twin Peaks. Top contenders in the Sand hills Cup include Juniperp, owned by Dr. J. K. Griggs of Lexington, Ky., and Twin Peaks who finished second to Count Emich in the Sand hills Cup here last year.

Michael G. (Mickey) Walsh Sr. suffered a broken arm Tuesday afternoon when he was kicked by a 2-year-old mare he was training at his Stoneybrook Farm. Walsh, 60, a prominent trainer and once the steeple chase racing world’s top rid er, was trying to get the young horse accustomed to a starting gate. The horse balked, and Walsh,, on foot, slapped her rump with his hand. She re acted by kicking. “It could have been worse,” Walsh told friends later. TV INTERVIEW M. G.
