New Neighborhood Housing Study Will Be Completed in September Thomas Lofft, a specialist in city and regional planning for the N. C. Department of Local Affairs, is making a neighbor hood study of housing in Southern Pines and expects to complete it in September. Lofft is attending regular meetings of the town planning board as a part of his study of the area. His survey is part of a $16,- 000 program, funded by feder al funds of $10,000 plus an allocation from the town, ap proved by the town council early this year. A two-year community faci lities study embracing surveys of water, streets, public build ings, fire, police, garbage, housing, is expected to result in definite recommendations. The recommendations will outline what capital improve ments are needed, how much they will cost, and propose a plan for obtaining them over a period of time. The current study is one of a series done by the town over a several - year period. The neighborhood survey will include selected represen tative sites all over town, to determine exactly what is needed here in the way of housing; the condition of buildings, and will involve suggestions for future plan ning. Housing and development guides in all areas will be suggested. In addition to the housing study, Lofft has also been work ing with Paul Van Camp, the town sewer engineer, among other officials. One of the problems here, he pointed out in an interview this week, is that the mile- A .J- * XI 1 XT farewell.

When the ( Continued on page 6 ) Sunday Beer Sale Vote Deferred for Reaction The Southern Pines town council, in regular meeting Tuesday night, postponed till their September meeting a decision on whether or not to permit Sunday beer sales, in order to find out how the public feels about it. The issue appears to be not so much the actual sale—the mayor said he favors it, and other councilman appeared to agree—^but what controls should be exercised in the way of hours of sale, and what cooperation could be ex pected from the sellers and general public. “Cooperation is the key," was Mayor Hubbard’s view. “We wouldn’t want the thing to become a burden to our law enforcement people — or have to rescind our vote 30 to 60 days later because we (Continued on Page 6) New Regional Mental Health Center to Open November 1 BY MARJORIE RAGAN The new regional Sandhills Mental Health Center adjacent to Moore Memorial Hospital is nearing completion and is ex pected to begin operation No vember 1.

There was discussion of two others who had received high recommendations—Brice Hemphill, aisj of West South ern Pines, and George W.

However, Mayor Hubbard said Hemphill had come to him to withdraw his name in favor of Douglass, and Councilmen Tucker and McLaughlin both said they had expressions from Little that, while he wouM like to serve, he felt it important that a West Southern Pines resi dent succeed Capel in the in terest of community harmony.
