ATTRACTING TEACHERS A "fundamental path to the solution of the school problem" has been suggested by Terry Sanford Fayetteville, a former state senator. This, he said, would be to "promote and state polidei which enable us to attract the finest people to the teaeftpif profession and to keep them when they have become The schools, he said, "can better than teachers." As means of implementing a program, Sanford said that should peid for the they work before a school term begin? in getting ready For me term," and the time ihey at the end of tht term to closing their records.

The other xoning question involves Municipal Airport and, according lo City Manager B. Sansbury, the question is a modernization of tlif statute to cover certain- changes in runways and facilities there. lie save city council members a tentative new ordinance for study and later action. But, as required by statute, and after public hearing, the council did rezone a lot at the southeast corner of Cedar and llth to be neighborhood business, at the request of George B. Kirkman who proposed to build a plumbing contracting office there.

With other corners at the intersection zoned for business, statutes require that such a request be honored. However, a resolution asking rtie landowner to maintain the property in a condition which would not be offensive to the neighboring residential area or the patttms of Lumberton Armory was passed. OIJ) WATER PLANT One other matter was deferred. The city has received an offer from T. 'M.

Crawford to lease the old, vacant city water plant at Water street and F-lizabethtown road. Mr. Crawford, a construction contrrctor. proposes to renovate the building at a cost to him if several thousand dollars and lease it for five years at S10 pet- month for use as office and storage warehouse. Council indicated that it hesitaied to lease for so long a period and asked for a proposal in writing from Mr.

Crawford before taking action. Council discussed an answer from Seaboard Air Line Railroad to a request for safety devices at its crossing on Qiippewa street. The railroad said that the few trains and the fact that the crossing was flagged when trains were working in the area made it reluctant to make the necessaiy large investment in protectio'n of the crossing. Other discussion was of the 1955 agreement with the federal government on long-range improvement plans for Municipal Airport. This agreement calls for the city to match federal funds, and already one runway has been lig'nt- ed under the cooperative plan.

Currently funds originally allocated for construction of a parking apron for aircraft have been diverted to what is considered a more pressing acquisition of longer clear zones at runway ends. Council questioned the wisdom of continued investment in the airport which has no scheduled service, but after discussion concluded that it must adhere in this instance to a program it agreed to in 1955. a program designed lo make scheduling of flights here more feasible. FLOOD COXTROL Councilman agreed on a resolution asking or a survey of the Lumber River drainage basin by Soil Conservation' Service to determine what flood control measures could be designed up-river. Tne resolution followed a preliminary meeting: of representatives of several counties involved.

Plans xvould probably call for impounding reservoirs nearer the headwaters of the river. The council resolution made no committment as to approval of the work, but only approval of a survey of possibilities. A request by the Lumbee Outboard Boat Club that a sign listing river traffic safety rules be erected at the boat landing on South Wafer street was approved by the council. The boat club proposes to erect smaller signs along the river, itself, to promote safety in the growing small boat traffic on the river. Contract for police and fire department uniforms was awarded to the low bidder.

Leon's. And the council approved the purchase of shot-i sleeve sport shirts for rummer wear for both departments over the protest of councilman H. Man-in Barker who said that department heads should decide the mailer.

The warrant had been signed by Mrs. Strickland's husband, Bobby Strickland who. according to court, authorities, had.sought to have young child returned, rather than the wife. Both Butler and Mrs.

Strickland wwe charged with fornication and adultery on March 8 and each was sentenced to 12 months in jail but the term was suspended for two years on good behavior and payment by Butler of $125 for defraying expense of returning the couple from Baltimore to Lumberton. A court authority reported the child is now with the maternal grandparents. In another case, the price of chickens went high. That was the instance of Joe Alston, charged with larceny of two chickens from R. T.
