JL'SE 20, 1961 Zoning Requested By Commissioners Hoke County was out last week but Is in again tills week on the legislative municipal zonii^ MIL Rep. Neill McFadyen said that he has recently been re quested by Commissioners of tile town of Raeford to have tills county included in the bill, concerning Town Zoning, be fore It is placed on tiie Senate floor. Senator W, P, Saunders of Southern Pines will make the amendment request. As the local law now stands a request from land owners, in certain cases, can automatical ly change the zoning classific ation of a specified area from business to residential or vice- versa. Under the new bill a pro posal or request for rezoning would have to be recommend ed by the town zoning board, after thorough study, and then passed upon by the town com missioners. The new method would protect other property owners in tiie respective sec tion. In answer to a question re garding tile exemption of persons 60 years of age and over from the requirements of parallel parking in applying from a driver’s license, the representative said tiiat the bill was passed to help people of this age group who can drive safely but are not agile enough because of muscle defects, to turn and twist as freely as ij required for side parking. He also brought to attention the fact that North Carolina passed a resolution "memo rializing” Congress to call a convention for the purpose oi proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States which would establish i 50 man board or commlssioc to have final jurisdiction over the United States which would establish a 50 man board or commission to have final juris diction over the United States Supreme Court of nine justicea North Carolina is listed as one among 38 states whichhas taken favorable action on a like pro- posaL Three Local Men Touring Europe Three Raeford men were among the 160 farmers and bankers who left Monday morn ing for a tour of six foreign countries.

They will take part In talks and seminars arranged with high officials of the European Economic Community, and with Architects Hired For Building The firm of Hayes, Howell and Associates of Southern Pines, has been employed to draw up blue prints for the new Raeford Savings and Loan As sociation building to be located on Campus Ave. Younger Snead, chairman of the building committee, said that specifications as to size of the structure could not be specifically told until blue prints have been approved by the committee. The firm will not, however, put up a building with extra space for rent, he re vealed.

The men will return to their respective homes on June 30. Progress Shown In Buildings Raeford’s progressiveness is beginning to show all over. Three new business houses are about to rise and a fourth has already been completed this year. Ground was broken Tuesday for the new combination store and office building of McPhaul- Williams Office Equipment, next to the News-Journal building. The structure is ex pected to be put into use by the end of summer, A blueprint is on the drawing board for the new Raeford Savings and Loan Association building which will be located at 113 Campus Ave. and first steps will be taken toward tiiat project when a dwelling house is moved from the location some time this week, A structure has already been removed from the corner of Main and Elwood streets where a building for the Southern National Bank will go up. Con tracts for this modern building will be let as soon as blue prints have been completed. The fourth new business house referred to is the new brick building erected on old Raeford Road for Radio Station WSHB. Not a business house, but certainly a proof of progress for the town is the new com munity building which will soon be put into use. “WATERMELON MANN" . ..

Local Teacher Wi ns Fellowship Through Jaycees The Raeford Red Sox won three of four games played at Armory Park last weekend but failed to make an appreciable ^ain'ln the Tobacco State Slow Pitch Softball league; The Sox made the error of splitting a double-header with league opponent. Southern Pines, while taking both games from non-league Massey Hill. As a result the locals remain ed tied with Southern Pines for third place in the league. After dropping the opener to Southern Pines by 10-4 the Sox came back to pound out ah 11-8 win behind the tight pitching of Charles Hottel as he picked up his second win of the week end. The locals jumped off to a three run lead in the first in ning and were never headed as they scored in every inning, A well balanced 14-hit attack pro vided the damages as everyone of the Red Sox hit safely. In the opener Southern Pines jumped on veteran Sox right hander, John Manuel, for six runs in the fourth inning to put the game out of reach. The big blow was a bases loaded triple by visiting hurler, Wil lis Calcutt. The Sox once again presented a well balanced 13- hlt attack bui was never able to bunch their hits to cause Calcutt much damage. Friday night saw the Red Sox battle Massey Hill in a scoreless deadlock until with two out in the last of the ninth, John Canady cracked a long homerun over the right fielder’s head to give the locals a tight 1-0 victory.

Three times Massey Hill.’oaded the bases but field plays pulled Hottel out of tiie hole each time. Canady alsohad a single to go with his homerun and Larry Upchurch contribut ed two hits to the local attack. The second game started off just the opposite of the opener as both clubs scored four runs in the first inning. While the Massey Hill scoring tapered off the Sox kept up their attack and added six more'runs in the tiiird inning as Manuel smashed a homer with two on. Following two more Massey Hill runs in the fifth inning, Raeford closed out the scoring with two runs in the 6th inning when Odell Hardin tripled home Jimmy Byrd and scored himself on Marrow Woods single. Byrd contributed three hits in the 12-6 rant and Bobby Tyner also pounded a homerun in the big first inning. 16 Counties Compete Next Wednesday In 4-H Meeting Demonstrations for the an nual Southeastern District De monstration Day for 4-H’ers will be held here in Raeford next Wednesday beginning at 9 a. m. at the Raeford Ele mentary School.
