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-

According to Ha.le van Hoy, Hubbard presented Capel with
a gift ordinarily reserved for
distinguished visitors — the

the son of Edith and Emanuel

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

BY MARJORIE RAGAN

vember 1.
Built by D. R. Allen and
Son, contractors of Fayette
ville, and designed by Hayes-
Howell Associates of Southern
Pines, the 19,000 square-foot
structure cost some $546,000.
Of the cost, federal funds
from Health, Education, and

Cameron is construction super
intendent.
It will serve an estimated
112,000 persons in four coun

care facilities.
Built of brick to blend with
other buildings in the area,
it has cast concrete fascia. It
has three areas, built around
a central court, where patients
can w'alk or perhaps garden,
and yet have the secure feel
ing of being enclosed on three
sides. Rooms are varied in
size, from private rooms to
larger ones where patients can
gather to socialize.
A central portion at the rear
will house day-care patients.
These are persons who live at
home at night, but come to
the hospital for all-day therapy
including talks with staff
' members, counseling, group
therapy and other treatrhent.
To the left as one enters is
the out-patient wing, where
patients come for brief thera
py.
20 - Bed Unit
On the right is a wing lor
in-patient care, which will
have a 20-bed capacity. Pati
ents are expected to staj hcie
a maximum of from tno to
three weeks. Those needing
longer care will be transferred
to Duke, Dorothea Dix in Ral
eigh, or Chapel-Hill’s Memorial
Hospital. Emergency patients
can be taken immediatei\ in
one of these hospitals on (U.i-j

It was Chuck Barbour’s idea,
aid Governor Scott paid tri-

)f the Democratic Party of

lorton of Wilmington who
served as chairman said that
nore than 180 tickets beyond
he goal of 500 were sold. At
50 each the tickets went a
ong way toward filling the
,'offers of the party.
It was really a fun weekend,
ind there was plenty of enter
tainment. But it also attracted
practically all of the serious
Democratic politicians of the
State. There was a lot of poli

keep interest high.
