Dumping
Is Called
Problem
BY V. NICHOLSON
The partial lifting of the hog
cholera quarantine in Moore
County, and the problem of
“malicious dumping” of dead
hogs and poultry in woods
throughout the county, were
topics of immediate importance
 discussed Tuesday by tiie Moore
County commissioners.
The matter of the dead hogs
and poultry being dumped by
unknown persons was brought tq>
by E. Floyd Dunn, county
sanitarian, and was discussed
also with Sheriff C. G. Wmberly.
Public Help Asked
Dunn said the health depart-
ment had investigated numerous
recent instances of such law
violation, and felt the public
should be alerted to the practice,
and help with the apprehension
of the violators.
Wimberly also said in
formation was needed from the
public, as such culprits were
notably hard to catch, and it was
very much to the interest of die
puldic to have them caught and
the dumping practice ended.
He agreed with the com
missioners that “a few arrests,
and convictions would be very
helpful as a deterrent,” and said
he and his department were

READY FOR KILN—Jugtown and its intern program is showing profit again,
and the centuries-old craft of pottery-making is taking on new life. Here are some
of the clay products, waiting to be fired at high temperatures.
Jugtown Making Money,
As As Pots And Jugs
BY MARJORIE RAGAN
“If several hundred years of
North Carolina pottery traditions
are to develop and continue in the
Piedmont area, an ap
prenticeship program like that
at Jugtown is necessary,” Ralph
Carter Rinzler of the
Smithsonian Institution says.
Rinzler is President of Country
Roads, Inc., which operates
Jugtown under Director Nancy
Sweezy, who has just completed
her thii^ year at the pottery.
“How much more bnportant it
is to support the continuing of an
entire craft tradition rather than
to collect and catalogue the
tools and products of the craft
smen only to place them in a
glass case.”
Economist - author John
Kenneth Galbraith added, “I
seem to be associated with a near
success. An eager market has
developed for Jugtown
products.”
Sales amounted to $45,676.48 at
the pottery this past year, up
$15,000 over the previous year.
But more working capital is
urgently needed in restoring
Jugtown, Galbraith said, and
contributions, tax-deductible,
may be sent to Country Roads,
Inc. Jugtown Pottery, Seagrove,
N. C.
President Rinzler remarked in
his letter;
“This program must be un
derstood in the context of the
world crafts movement. While
potters to a significant degree.
Britain’s Bernard Leach have
succeeded in focusing in
ternational attention on the folk
pottery of their own countries,
American contempory potters
have not penetrated the rich
grass roots traditions of folk
potters to a significant degree.
“Through Jugtown’s ap
prenticeship program, an im
portant and vigorous strain of
earthenware and stoneware
forms, glazes, and techniques
will make their way into the
mainstream of contemporary
creativity. This infusion is long
overdue and sorely needed.
“A core of people has sup
ported Jugtown since it was
purchased and restored three
years ago. The moderate sup
port of those who understand the
importance of its programs and
continued development will
assure the growth and impact of
this vitally needed institution.”
Mrs. Sweezy says Jugtown,
one of ten potteries in the area,
has flowered this year because of
the spade work of the two prior
years.
“During that time, the plant,
including living and working
quarters, was repaired and
enlarged; the pottery-making
equipment repaired and added
to; production problems solved
or brought toward solution until
the pottery reached a new
fineness of form and glaze; the
teaching program initiated and
defined; the team of four
producing and teaching geared
to an efficient, cooperative
unit,” Mrs. Sweezy continues.
“Through newspaper articles
and talks, and most importantly
to word of mouth, it became
widely known that Jugtown
flourishes again. The results felt
during the year of this report
have been unusual whole^e
orders, a growing stream of
visitors to see the pottery works,
a flood of requests for ap
prenticeships, and for the first
time, cost lower than income.”
Government investigation of
leachable lead caused Jugtown
as well as many other potteries
to move eating utensils to a
higher firing range.
“In the midst of these changes
we undertook to fill two unusual
wholesale orders; one for the
Blue Ridge Parkway Con
cessions; the other for American
Heritage’s catalog as they
uutiate a program of selling
crafts made today in addition to
reproductions. We also began to
supply in lesser volume but
repeatedly the United Nations
Gift Center and a pottery shop on
Oie Historic Trail in Yorktown,
Virginia.
“The enormous efforts in
volved in these orders (the one
for American Heritage required
the largest tractor-trailer made
to haul it to New York) have
increased our wholesale to 44 per
cent of total sales. Hiis has been

Town Board
Buys Land
The Southern Pines town
council in special meeting
Wednesday morning voted
unanimously to purchase a 92-
acre wooded tract, adjoining the
Chandlers Pond property off NC
22, at a cost of ^,000.
The purchase from Mrs.
Margaret J. Doffermyre of Dunn
will be made, subject to a title
search by the town attorney, with
funds remaining from the water
bond issue of some two years
ago. About $45,000 remains on
certificate of deposit-enough, it
was determined, to swing the
deal.
The purchase price will include
$1,500 option money, paid by the
council early this year. The
cation was about to expire, which
was the reason for the special
meeting.
The action was taken as future
insurance to meet emergency or
long-range water needs, the
councilmen said. The property is
bisected by a stream. Chandlers
Pond, owned by the Town of
Carthage and serving as its
water source, currently loses 19
miUion gallons a day, according
to an engineering estimate-

Carolina Bank
Will Expand
^plication for changing the
midtown branch of The Carolina
Bank between Aberdeen and
Southern Pines from a teller
branch to a full-service office has
been made. President L. B.
Oeath of the Carolina Bank of
Sanford has announced.
“This will expand our services
to full-service banking for people
in file area,” he said.
The bank has also applied for a
branch office in SQer City,
Oeath said. The closest Carolina
Bank to Siler Qty is in Goldston,
he said, formed in 1969.
Both applications will be heard
at the regular meeting of the
State Banking Commission in
Raleigh May 24 of this year.

STEVENSON—Senator Adlai
Stevenson III thinks the
Democrats have a good chance
of winning the presidency in
November “if they don’t kUl each
other off before July.”
The personable young Senator
from Illinois and his wife Nancy
and their four children spent the
Blaster holidays with his aunt,
Mrs. Ernest Ives, at her Paint
Hill Farm here.
Young Stevenson, who has
many of the attributes of his
fam^ father, has been at
tracting considerable attention
even as a freshman Senator in
Washington. He is being talked
as a vice presidential candidate,
but Stevenson isn’t encouraging
the talk.
He is very much interested in
his present office, but admits to
some frustrations in dealings
with the federal bureaucracy as
well as a slow-moving Congress.

Moore County’s registered
voters are expected to top 17,0(XI
this week, with Friday, April 7,
being the last day for
registration or party Ganges
before the May 6 Primary.
Angus M. &ewer, chairman of
the Moore County Board of
Elections, said that the office will
be open until 6:30pm. on Friday
for registrations.
A ruling last week by the At
torney General which eliminated
the one-year residency
requirements for registering to
vote in state elections is espected
to bring out a large number of
new voters in Moore.
Any person i^o will have been
in the county for 30 days iH'ior to
the May 6 primary will be
eligible to register and vote,
according to the ruling by At
torney (General Robert Morgan.
The ruling followed a recent
Supreme (fourt decision in a
Tennessee case which voided the
one-year residency
requirements.
(Chairman Brewer said that he
had received the new ruling and
instructions from Alex K. Brock,
director of the State Board of
Elections, and that they are now
in effect.
The Moore County Board of
EHections was open last Saturday
and on the Easter Monday
holiday in order to accomodate
the new registrations. As of last
week the total registration had
gone past the 16,000 mark, and
Brewer said that both he and
Mrs. Daisy Riddle, executive
secretary of the Moore Board,
expect the total registration to go
beyond 17,000 by Friday night.
B'ewer said that the young
voter registration campaign had
beoi quite successful. He noted,
however, that many of the young
voters who had registered as
“Independents” have been
coming in and changing to either
a Democratic or Republican
party affiliation after they
realized that an “Independent”
