The meeting here is one of 14 to
be held across the state by
Secretary of Transportation
Thomas W. Bradshaw Jr.
The June 28 meeting will be for
Division Eight of the Highway
Division and will include
representatives from the
area that has often been con
cerned with the quality of water
in the past - the community of
Lakeview. The major lake in the
commimity has been polluted by
improper waste treatment in tlie
past, it was reported.
McDeeds Creek and other
tributaries flow into Crystal
Lake in Lakeview. Citizens of
that community and of other
communities in Moore (bounty
are up in arms at the prospect of
imfx'operly treated metals ap
pearing in their water.
Reix'esentatives from Pride-
Trimble were at hand with
statistics to alleviate the fears of
Lakeview residents; but at the
meeting’s end many of those
from Lakeview still felt the same
as one man who said “It seems to
me this water’s almost good
enough to drink. If it’s so good.
The Moore County
Commissioners voted Monday
night to postpone indefinitely
any action on the zoning plan
proposed by the Planning Board.
It was a 3-1 vote with Lee
Williams, Carolyn Blue and
Arthur Purvis voting for it and
Tony Parker voting against it.
For the last five years, the
Planning Board has been
working on a proposal to zone
40,(K)0 acres in the southwestern
part of the county, but the
proposal met with so much
opposition at last Thursday
night’s public information
session, the Commissioners
decided to reject the proposal of
the Planning Board.
In making the motion, Purvis
mentioned that the proposed
zoning concerns the area around
Pinehurst and Foxfire and that
since planning began on the
zoning. Foxfire has
incorporated, has its own zoning
power and may extend its zoning
one mile beyond its limits. He

Pride-Trimble is about to in

Parents in Moore County who
have a child in grades 1,2,3,6, or
9 will soon receive the results of
their child’s achievement on
tests administered during April.
The testing was given as part
of the statewide annual tei^ing
program. Individual student
scores are being returned to
schools between May 8 and 26
and parents should receive
individual student scores
between May 15 and 31.
Parent-teacher conferences
will be held as well as other
methods of communicating with
parents about their child’s
achievement and progress or
plans for remediation. Each
local school system will release
grade and school scores around
July 24. State results are
scheduled to be released at the
August meeting of the State
Board of Education.
Individual student scores will
not be considered as public
record, according to legislation
and Qiapter 132-1 of the General
Statutes. Legislation goes
further to state that the scores
Golf Vii
shall not be made available to
anyone including any member or
employe of state or local boards
of education except as permitted
under the provisions of the
Family Education Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974.
Approximately 500,000
students in these five grades
were administered the tests in
April that were mandated by the
1977 General Assembly. The
purpose of the testing is to
determine what students have
learned and what they need to
learn in the basic subjects of
reading, language arts, and
math. The annual testing
program will be given in the
spring of each year. In addition
to the annual tests, eleventh
graders across the state will be
administered a competency test
in the fall and spring of each
year. Passage of this minimum
competency test will be
necessary in order to graduate.
Educators point to the benefis
of the annual testing as being
improved planning and

Regardless of whether Pride-
Trimble sends the treated waste
into McDeeds Oeek or through
the regional treatment system,
the company is required to in
stall its own treatment system
for the metalic waste.
It will be a cost-saving
measure to the company to send
the treated water through Mc
Deeds Creek.

Bradshaw said that each of the
meetings will seek to get local

The Highway Improvement
Program is a planned and

construction that balances
anticipated revenue against

The Town of Southern Pines
will receive $228,0(X) in Revenue
Sharing funds during En
titlement Period 10 which runs
from October 1, 1978 to Oct. 1,
1979, it was revealed at a public
hearing Tuesday night.
The public hearing is required
by the federal government
before the town holds its budget
hearing and is a chance for
citizens to suggest uses for the
Revenue Sharing funds.
This is the first year the
federal government has placed
no restrictions on the use of the
funds.
The town is allowed to use the
money for anything that the state
would allow its public funds to be
used for as long as it meets
certain regular restrictions such
as non-discrimination and
minimum wage law. The town
has made a practice of using the
funds for capital outlay
provements and one-time ex
penditures rather than for
operating expenses because it is
not guaranteed it will continue to
receive these funds forever.
Only one person attended the
public hearing besides the Coun
cil members, but the (Council

In Civil Actions
Over $800,000 is involved in a
suit brought against The Lawn
and Tennis Club of North
Carolina and Golf Vistas, Inc., by
a lending agency based in
Washington, D.C., that alleges
the two corporations are in
default on a note signed three
and a half years ago.
Golf Vistas, Inc. and The Lawn
and Tennis CTub of N.C., Inc. are
involved in a suit which was
brought against them at the first
of the year by the Mortgage
Investors of Washington, with
Mosley G. Boyette, Jr. of
Southern Pines acting as
substitute trustee. The case is
now on appeal.
In November 1977, M.I.W. tried
to foreclose a deed of trust,
claiming that Golf Vistas and
The Lawn and Tennis Club were
in default on payment of a note.
Plaintiffs for this matter are the
President of Golf Vista, Timothy
O’Leary of Pinehurst and Sam
Poole of Southern Pines,
president of The Lawn and
Tennis Club.
They are plaintiffs rather than
defendants in most of the actions
because they initiated several
orders against M.I.W., according
to Boyette and local attorney
Vance Derby, also a defense
attorney for the
Washington-based investment
firm, in a legal document on file
in the Moore County Ck)urthouse.
In a letter to Timothy O’Leary
dated November 11, 1977, the
investment firm asked that the
remaining balance of the original
loan be paid no later than the
first of the year.

Pros And Cons Of Zoning Plan
Aired At Meeting In Carthage
BY ELLEN WELLES
Existing and proposed Moore
County zoning was presented and
discussed last Thursday night at
a public information session held
at the Court House in Carthage.
The county Planning and
Zoning Administrator, Tony
Carlyle, and the County
Ck)mmissioners appeared before
a packed courtroom for the
two-hour session in which the
majority of citizens attending
were against further county
zoning.
Carlyle showed on a map the
existing county zoning to the east
of Highway 15-501 around the
municipalities of Southern Pines,
Whispering Pines and Aberdeen,
which has been in effect since
1966. Also he' presented the
proposed zoning which the
county zoning department has
been working on.

Social Services-Too Much Paper Work
BY PATSY TUCKER
(This is the first in a series of
stories on the workings of the
Moore County Department of
Social Services. As the depart
ment covers such a wide
territory the stories have been
broken down into three sections
covering: general workings of
the agency; child care services
and services to the elderly).
This large county operated
department employs 55 people
who spend their entire working
hours helping people with a
variety of problems.
The three social workers who
are in direct contact with the
people served by the department
are Susan Dohrmann, Carol
Busby, Supervisor! of &rvice,‘
and Melinda Hamrick. Mrs.
Pauline Cole is the general
supervisor.
The nine mandatory services
covered by the department are:
adoption services; day care
services for children; family
planning; foster care services
for chil^en; health support;
interstate-inter-county services
to children; protective services
to adults and children and ser
vices to enable individuals to
remain in their own home.
The service that probably
reaches more people than any is
the day care service. These are
the licensed and certified
centers that provide a program
and hot meals for children who
are not school age.
There are three in the county-
Moore County Oiildren’s Center
in Southern Pines; Open Door
Day Care Center in Pinehurst
and the West End Day Care
Center. The salaries and ex
penses for these centers are paid
from state, county and federal
funds. The Department of Social
Services oversees these centers
to be sure they are following the
standards set by the state with
proper meals and a planned
ix-ogram for the day.
A similar service is the foster
home program in that it looks
after the day4o-day welfare of
children. There are 17 foster
homes in Moore Ctounty with 35
children placed in them until
they can return home or be
released for adoption. This past
year nine were placed for
adoption. An interesting practice
the department has is to place
children in counties other than
their home county. This, of
course, is in cooperation with
other counties in the state as they
prefer this plan also. In order for
a child to be placed for adoption
in the case of an unwed mother, a
law was passed last October to
also have the consent of the
father of the child, if he can be
located. The agency is very
anxious to have more foster
homes for black children.
Ms. Hamrick stated, “We have
a higher than average number of
black foster homes, but we really
need more. Those that we have
have worked really well and the
children are very happy.’’
