Alternate plans he outlined —including cost of building, equipment and a year’s salary for personnel at the research center—ran from a minimum of about $400,000 to a maxi mum of about $1,111,000. Spokesmen for the Founda tion said that the project to be undertaken here would run much closer to the minimum figure—for a start, although the full project will be the ul timate goal. A 20-acre site for the re search center, off No. 1 high way, north of the old No. 1 intersection, north of Southern Pines, near “Skyline,” was given to the Foundation a few years ago by Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Moss. Later, 83 acres were purchased by the Foun dation with the contribution of “a friend.” A fund cam paign, to get the project going, has been under way since March, 1966.

The tragedy occurred in a small frame house behind an other home on South Hardin Street near West New York Avenue. The bodies of Ike Council, 3, and his brother Frederick, 2, were found in the remains of the double bed which nearly filled their tiny bedroom. Firemen who found the bodies after quelling the flames said ently tried to burrow his way under the mattress at the head of the bed, while his brother lay prostrate across it. Their mother, Mrs. Deloris Clark Council, 21, whose hus band, Isaac, is in New York, said she went to Mrs. Brown’s store around the corner. Someone at the store told her smoke appeared to be coming from near her house, she said, and she ran home but could not get inside. She had been gone from home only a short time, she told a reporter. Mackie Lee Stubbs ran with ;her, and, she said later, sob- |bing, “Mackie Lee pushed the the younger boy had appar- jdoor open and the smoke and fire pushed us back. We couldn’t get in.” She called 'o her children, but there was no answer, she said. The fire alarm sounded at 12:20 pm and both trucks were quickly on the scene but fire men could not save the small four-room house, which was divided into two apartments. Mrs. Council and her children, with a cousin Deloris Gibson, occupied one. The other apartment was oc cupied by Garland Moore, who was at work at the McNeill & Company feed and seed store here. His door was locked and the door between the two apartments was kept padlock- (Continued on Page 3) ‘Hounds’ Open Season Under Sunny Skies Seventy-four men, women and youngsters in formal rid ing costume rode behind the hounds last Thursday in per fect weather for the opening run, a drag hunt that opened the new season for the Moore County Hounds.

Frantz’s Tre- mont Farm between Young’s Road and East Connecticut Avenue Extension, then watch ed parts of the chase as the riders and hounds appeared periodically racing across open pasture and meadow.

Moore Memorial Hospital is a private institution operating under supervision of a board of trustees. St. Joseph of the Pines is owned by the Cath olic Diocese of North Carolina and is operated by the Sisters of Providence whose head quarters is at Holyoke, Mass. The report of Dr. Myers, who has an M. D. degree, is titled, “A plan for better use of hospital facilities in Moore County.” The report points out that Moore Memorial, with a bed capacity of 220, does not pro vide enough beds to care for patients seeking general medi cal and surgical care there in the immediate future, while St. Joseph Hospital, with a capacity of 75 beds, “has run at low rate of occupancy gen erally in the past—too low, in fact, to operate at an effective economic level.’* “The deficiencies of St. Jo seph have not been of heart or intent,” the report stresses, but are rather due mainly to lack of staff and specialist diagnostic facilities. “The nursing care given there is excellent. . . but cer tainly it cannot be expected to keep operating at a constant deficit. . .” It is not now financially practicable to build more bed capacity at Moore Memorial, the report says, leaving as an alternative in solving the area’s hospital space problem a plan to make use of the available beds at St. Joseph. Dr. Myers’s report then pro poses ways in which the facili ties of both hospitals could best be used—proposals that were accepted and appear in the agreement. Highlights of the agreement follow: St. Joseph Hospital will pro vide these types of facilities for patient care: A medical diagnostic and (Continued on Page 2) Union Pines School Drama Festival Set On Thursday and Friday evening of this week.
