Commissioners Want Bill Providing 8-Man School Board From 3 Areas NEW $167.957 GRANT MADE SCAP Funds From County Not Needed, Official Tells Board The Board of Moore County Commissioners got good news from the Sandhills Community Action Program last Thursday: It still has the $8,000 the commissioners put in the budget for the Moore County share of the antipov erty program for 1966-67. In fact, SCAP Assistant Di rector Thomas Caddell told the commissioners, the com missioners could feel free to take $1,000 out of the SCAP appropriation to pay a bill for professional services recently engaged to seek federal money. The commissioners didn’t act on the offer. Caddell explained that Moore obligations in the feder ally aided SCAP program were paid “in kind”—such as rent- free space; consequently, di rect cash payment hasn’t been ■necessary so far. The “in- kind” payment amounted to $18,997—the total SCAP would have had to pay for space, la bor and the like if these had not been given free of charge. The professional-services bill of $1,000 will be for the job that Barbour-Cooper & Asso ciates of Asheville is doing for the county—preparing the complicated application for a federal grant for a $100,000 neighborhood facilities center. The building would house staff people of county and other public agencies, with the exception of administra tive officials. Meanwhile, SCAP, ending its first year of operation, is getting a federal grant of $167,957 for the eight months through Nov. 30.

Clyde Auman of West End and State Sen. Voit Gilmore of Southern Pines. Commissioners told Rep. Au man of their wishes last Mon day at their regular meeting for May at Carthage.
