The same firm will make the feasibility study for the county. It is scheduled to be completed in three months at a cost of $1,200 to $1,800. County officials will explore the possibility of obtaining federal money to pay part of the cost. However, commis sioners agreed that the study should be made. The idea of a county water authority or commission for all or large sections of the county was advanced last year when the planning study was authorized. Henningson engi neers pointed out that the ad vantages would include an elimination of some expensive water-system improvements for participating municipali ties. They pointed out that the county, for example, could establish a single treatment plant, with provisions for ad ding units, and thus eliminate the necessity tor a small town to burden itself with the ex- (Continued on Page 2) COURT TO BEGIN A term of Moore County 1OAQ /iO Superior Court, for the trial J."0O“0V of criminal cases, will open in Carthage, Monday, August 12, with Judge 'Thomas W.

CRAFT WORK, TRAINING, STUDY, MUSIC PROPOSED Jugtown Pottery Seen As Cultural Center In a document titled “Pro posal for the Development of Jugtown Pottery in the Com munity of Jugtown, Moore County, North Carolina,” the principal incorporators of Country Roads, Inc.—Mrs. Nancy Sweezy of Cambridge, Mass., and Ralph Rinzler of Washington, D. C.—have made public their plans for the pottery and associated ac tivities. An agreement for sale of the stock of Jacques and Juli ana Busbee’s Jugtown, Inc., corporate owner of the pot tery, to Country Roads, Inc., was announced last week by Howard C. Broughton of Southern Pines, co-executor of the estate of the late John Mare of Southern Pines. The Jugtown corporation is whol ly owned by the Mare estate. Details were in a Pilot report last week. Located in the northwest corner of the county, the Jug town pottery is now operating under lease to two brothers, Vernon and Bobby Owens. Mrs. Sweezy is director of Country Roads, a craft center at Cambridge, and Mr. Rinz ler is director of the Folklife Festival, Division of Perform ing Arts, Smithsonian Institu tion, Washington, D. C. Following is the full text of the Jugtown development pro posal issued jointly by them: America’s cultural heritage, as it has developed in rural areas from the early days of settlement, has had substantial communal and esthetic value. In the course of industriali zation, many elements of this heritage have been isolated or bypassed; only recently have these been rediscovered and re-appraised as of living im portance. Artists, designers and craftsmen have shown lack of confidence in indigenous cul ture by seeking roots and guidance from abroad. Partly this has happened be cause our cultural roots have been hidden in various parts of the countryside, and part ly from a real sense of inferi ority before the ancient cul tures of Europe. It is our intent to spur the rediscovery and appreciation of indigenous designs and skills and to participate in their integration, through de sign development and market ing procedures, into present- day life. Favorable Factors We believe that it is econ omically feasible to produce and sell handcrafts at a profit through efficiency, disci pline, and informative promo tional efforts—without resort ing to the deadening effects of repetitive mass - production processes.
