The Broad Street crossings at Vermont, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Massachusetts Avenues, according to the in formation received from the State, which also said planning for these improvements is now under way, and they are in terested in decisions the council might make in regard to traffic and parking, which might have an impact on the sign^ization. The council’s discussion in cluded also the possibility of closing the New York Avenue crossing, also New Hampshire, which the State would be asked not to signalize, closing it only when the new Fire Station is built. A number of changes, some in control of the town, others not, were foreseen, and it was decided to carry out some on a tentative basis, to see what effect they would on the downtown (Continued on Page 10-A) Schools Undertake Study On Instruction Program It was “lift-off” Monday night for a new five-year plan for the Moore Coimty Schools, this time an instructional plan, following on the heels of the long^ange school construction program now nearing completion.

BY PETER S. WONDOLOWSKI “So many people give in to an injustice, whether it be a claim for money, an unjust bill, or injury to person, or damage to their property without a fight for their rights, that it almost makes you cry,” said a Southern Pines lawyer the other day. This remark was promoted when he was asked about the usefulness of the “Small Claims Court” to recover damages, property or money amounting in value of less than $500. How about the operator of a dry cleaning business who damages your $150 suit and refuses to pay for the damage? What can you do? Or the TV shop that does unauthorized repair work on your television set, and will not return it unless you pay for the unauthorized work. Or perhaps, your landlord unjustly refuses to return your security deposit of $95 after you move. Maybe the automobile service repairman breaks your car window while fixing a door, and the shop refuses to assume responsibility for the damage; or someone negligently dents the fender of your car and refuses to pay the $50 damages. Ten Issues The RUDAT team in its report listed 10 important issues involved in consideration of Moore County’s future. They were: POLITICAL FRUSTRATIONS - Divisions of responsibility between county and municipal governments often result in stalemates. LAND USE - Separate zoning ordinances prevent orderly and coordinated development. TRANSPORTATION - Lack of public transportation has an inhibiting effect on many coimty-wide activities. DHIUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT-EMPLOYMENT - Low- level jobs predominate. Conflict between industrial growth and resort appeal of area. UTILITIES - The potential for all services in the county are very good. HOUSING - Much low-income housing is substandard. RECREATION - Some vigorous programs limited only by lack of funds. PRESERVATION - All activities must focus on preserving the rich environment. Boyd Estate building and grounds should remain intact. ECOLOGY - Physical environment is greatest asset. Preservation of pine forests and farms essential. New water supply. CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT - More than just another shopping center but business districts are at a crossroads. Sewer Plan, Dog Law Approved By Council The .‘Southern Pines Town Council in regular meeting Tuesday night conducted a half- dozen public hearings, one of working with teachers in every school, and now undergoing an evaluation process. Lee said a committee would be set up in every school, composed of local advisory council members, teachers, and others, to study the Guide and determine what will be needed to realize the goals. In some schools, in fact, conunittees are already at work and others will be appointed soon, to develop a report on in structional nee^ to be presented to a steering conunittee January 30.

Welcomed into the Town on petition for annexation were Mrs. Nancy S. Jackson, whose property on Country (3ub Drive is contiguous to the Town; Dr. W. Harrell Johnson and wife and Rex K. Stoner and wife, under the Town’s “satellite” an nexation authority. (Continued on Page 9-A) The visit of the RUDAT team was a highly stimulating experience for the Sandhills, and the Sandhills appeared to be an equally stimulating experience for the team, according to reactions evidenced by the members at the final meeting and “report session” Monday night. Jules Gregory, team captain, a leading architect of Princeton, N.J., and chairman of the RUDAT program for the American Institute of Architects, told the crowd of more than 1(X) in the Pinecrest cafeteria, which served as the main meeting place during the project, “I have been very much moved by this experience, in such a rich and beautiful environment. I have also been impressed by the splendid participation and turnout in so small a conununity.” During the evening the five team members who were left (one had had to leave for Washington, D.C., only an hour before the meeting) took turns giving reactions gained during their whirlwind four-day visit, and ideas they tossed forth which might be helpful in planning for the county and towns. Also taking part in the report (Continued on Page 10-A) School Holiday Moore County school students will get a iwliday Tuesday, October 19, as school will be closed for one of the 17% teacher workdays in this year’s school calendar.

It aptly sununed up the single- minded enthusiasm evidenced by some 200 party faithful in support of the entire party ticket. From top to bottom, in the current campaign. Among strong voices raised in suH)ort were those of Jim Hunt, gubernatorial nominee, and others on the state and district level, along with the local leadership and some fresh new' voices-notably that of Sally Beth Stone, 11, of Southern Pines, making her first political speech. To Sally Beth’s stirring ac colade to “Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Hunt and Jimmy Green, by Jiminy!” Hunt commented that he had been wondering what would be done if, at some future date, the unthinkable would happen and Mrs. Betty McCain had to be replaced as state chairman. But now,he said, he knew-Sally Beth would step into her shoes. Mrs. McCain, another honored guest at the gala affair, with close ties to the Sandhills, joined heartily in the applause which greeted this pronouncement. Jim Hunt, Mrs. McCain and Dr. A. Craig Phillips, candidate (Continued on Page 8-A) “It is pitiful, because they have a ready made recourse to right the wrong of the injustice they feel and suffer. The sad thing is that they don’t know such an avenue exists, and if they did, they don’t know how to use it,” the lawyer added. You can take a person to court, and be your own lawyer, to boot, if you feel that you have been cheated or unjustly treated or hurt by him, whether in a commercial transaction, or because of his unlawful, negligent or wilful act resulting in a monetary loss to you in an (Continued on Page 9-A) J DEMOCRATIC RALLY — Jim Hunt, Democratic candidate for Governor, speaks at a Moore County rally held Friday night in the Vass-Lakeview School cafeteria.
