A committee from HUSOM
(Humane Society of Moore
county, appeared last Thursday
night before the Moore County
board of health in regular ses
sion at Carthage, to present
their proposal to contract with
the county to operate a com
prehensive animal control pro
gram.
Such a contract was made
possible last June by an en
abling act passed by the
General Assembly, sponsored
by the county commissioners,
who, however, have not fol
lowed it up with action.
They did, however, advise
that a presentation be made to
the board of health, which had
recommended that no change J
be made in the present dog
warden program.
Raymond E Noith of Pine-
hurst, HUSOM president, told
the board the Society has had
a full and fruitful first year,
has established itself as an
effective agency to handle the
program and that, if it could
enter into a contract with the
county, would save tax money,
eliminate duplication, help pro
tect people and property as
well as animals and add to the
health and sanitation of the
county.
Save Tax Money-
North said a certain amount
of financing would be antici-
patied from the county,
but less than is now being
spent and less than is being
collected fiom dog license
fees, as it would be supple
mented by private funds of
the Society, including dues
and contributions. , t ^ t
He said the HUSOM pro-
gram embraces all animals, I Among luminaries of the

At Camp Easter
Friday Night
Tickets are reported selling
fantastically well for a gala
music-and-dancing event of
Friday night, to be held at the
Camp Easter Lodge for the
job he has today.
Membership in HUSOM is
countywide, with members in
all county communities who
are available at any time to
render the services for which
the Society has undertaken
Responsibility, the president
said.
Since June 26, HUSOM has
operated its own animal shel
ter at Vass, collecting lost,
strayed and abandoned ani
mals and paying for veterinary
services—shots, treatment if
needed and merciful euthani-
zation if the animal is diseas
ed, injured or deteriorated be
yond reclamation.
It answers all calls, has re
stored many lost dogs and cats
to their owners and found good
homes for those found healthy
and suitable to be pets.

will be part of a team break

ly, mrking new friends for
America, in Upper Volta,
French West Africa, where he
and other members of the
Peace Corps will spend the
next 23 months.
A more specific phrase than
ground-breaking is “well-dig
ging,” what the Peace Corps
volunteers will spend most of
their time doing in this portion
of French West Africa which
gained its independence in
1961.
“This is the first (Peace
Corps) program to go to Upper
Volta,” said John. “Most other
countries in French West Afri
ca have a program.”
The 21-year-old, Colorado-
born middle son of Brig. Gen.
(USA ret.) and Mrs. Albert L.
Sneed attended Pinehurst
High School and Christ Epis
copal School in Arden, and
graduated in June from the
University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, where he re
ceived a bachelor of arts de
gree in English.
His older brother, Lt. (jg)

head Scholarship alumnus of
UNC, is now stationed with

Though told from the heart,
the musical does not take it
self too seriously. Mark Shoen-
berg, theatre instructor at Car
olina, directed the cast of
eight. Benjamin F. Keaton is
musical director.
The play has been running
for seven years in New York,
surpassing even “Oklahoma!”
and “My Fair Lady” for lon
gevity of a musical show. Its
local performance will mark
the debut of the Sandhills
Playmakers as entrepreneurs,
even as they rehearse their
own first play, Oscar Wilde’s
“The Importance of Being
Ernest,” for November presen

chairman of the English and
fine arts department, is direc

The approximately 200 Scou-
ters, parents and friends of
Scouting who shared “potluck”
in the rustic dining hall came
f.'om all over Moore County.
The reorganization of the dis
trict, following its division
about four years ago into the
Sandhills and Yadkin Trails
districts, was announced by
Barry Beard of feanford,
Occoneechee Council president.
Beard installed Mica j ah
Wyatt of Pinehurst as district
chairman, Paul Ward of South
ern Pines as commissioner and
Bob Noneman of Sanford as
executive. He said the split
into smaller districts “hadn’t
worked out as planned” and
that consolidation would point
the way to a sounder future.
The consolidation has been
under way since early summer,
with members of the two dis
trict committees joining hands
as temporary co-chairmen of
operating committees until the
move was officially completed.
This will be done with ap
pointment of new district of
ficers by Wyatt.
The new chairtnan is a mem
ber of the Sandhills Communi
ty College faculty.
Silver Beaver
The Silver Beaver award,
highest in volunteer scouting
on the Council level, was made
to Paul Ward, who entered
Scouting in 1950 after moving
to Sbuthern Pines, following
his separation as a major from
the Army Corps of Engineers
in 1946. Serving as assistant
cubmaster, cubmaster and pack
committee chairman for the
unit sponsored by Brownson
Memorial Presbyterian church,
he became assistant commis
sioner in 1957 and for the past
two years has been district
commissioner.
The award, coming as a sur
prise to the recipient, was
made by Dr. Bruce Warlick,
scoutmaster of Troop 223,
Southern Pines, who only last
year received the Silver Bea
ver himself.
Members of the O: der of
the Arrow escorted Mr. and
Mrs. Ward forward, to the roll
of drumbeats, and Mrs. Ward
hung the silver token around
her husband’s neck.
Sparkplug of Scouting
W. E. Samuels, Jr., of South
ern Pines, outgoing chairman,
welcomed the gathering at
tending the event, held as tri
bute to the unit leaders, who
were hailed in speeches as
sparkplugs of the Scouting
movement, the individuals in
direct contact with the boys
and on whom the success of
Scouting depends.
James R. Van Camp served
as master of ceremonies and
District Executive Noneman
recognized the past year’s win
ners of Eagle Scout badges
and For God and Country
awards. These were the only
Boy Scouts who were present,
except several from the Order
of the Arrow, who staged a
ceremonial Indian dance, and
others from Troop 892 of Mt.
Carmel church, who gave an
impressive closing ceremony.
