THE CHARLOTTE SUNDAY OBSERVER, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 10 ?. CONCERNING MYERS PARE. "The Charm of the Country With the Conveniences of the City." - 9 Ghartotte, N. G. February 11th, 1917 14 -4 . ' " 1 " Published by the Stephens Company ta Ute Interest of MYERS PARK and the Central CTcic Improvement of CHARIOTTE. A Combination "1 Die the country, but It is so In convenient." ire hear someone say. i when comparing the relative desira- j bUlty of a country and town home, living in the country is Inconven ient for getting back and forth, for school. Church.- mail, deliveries and J companionship of friends; and stormy i weather often maroons a country boms for days at a time. The opposite extreme of conditions ; la the city where clanging cars and j wher. amok. Alls the air and ! dust comes In every open window. But such a place as Myers Park supplies the happy medium between the two, riving in reality "the charm of ths country with the conveniences of the city." There you have wide , views and smoke-free air. there you ! bars quiet and trees and flowers and freedom from the rush and hurry of a city Ufa. And there you have also paved streets and water, gas and electric Dents, schools and quick de Bvsftea. neighbors and other advan tages of living in a well populated community. How would you like "a country homo on a city street?" ECHOES FROM CLUBDOM BY MRS. GORDON M. FINGER. Mask: Study Class.

A Charlotte resident told us the oth- er dav that she wanted to move to Myers Park because we gave a sub- senpuon 10 some uuiuo or gmueiiuiK magazine, as a present. What she really meant, though she may not have known it, was that the giving of this magazine was typical of the interest the Stephens Company takes in the welfare of the Myers Park people, and of their untiring efforts to make Myers Park the homesite that supplies all needs. And for these she wants to move there. Another Feather in Her Cap We congratulate the Grand Opera Music Festival Association on their success in procuring for Charlotte some of the finest artists in the world and an orchestra which alone would be worth the residents of other towns coming to hear. .This marks another step towards making Charlotte, not t only the leader in business lines, but the center of art and music for this section of the country. The Festival Association has ask ed for the support of Charlotte people in this venture and in the strength of this support will be answered the question of whether Charlotte people recognize a good thing when they see it North Carolina Federation of Wom en's Clubs, wishes to call the attention of each club to the fact that from May 1 to 6, it is proposed to have a Nation-wide 'Baby Week Campaign.' See to it that each city and town of the State observes this week In some way. 'Baby Week' should be a community campaign. Let all the health forces combine in carrying out the plan. "Write to the children's bureau at Washington, D. C and you will get the help to carry out a successful campaign. If the date selected does not suit your community, change it, but do observe some time. "Begin to plan now and get every one Interested and at work. Get in line with the other States that are go ing to observe the campaign which has a twofold purpose: (1) To give the mothers and fathers the most im portant facts with regard to the care of the bahy; (2) to bring home to the community a knowledge of the facts regarding the needless deaths of Its babies and a realization of the ways In which it must protect them. A baby week should not be a tem porary flurry and excitement, but should lead to permanent work for the babies. "Infant mortality 1s the most sen sitive index we possess of social wel fare and sanitary administration." Keoks Closer Toneh.

I But with the return of sunshine and rise In temperature the work has been resumed and the long line of beautiful willow oaks on Selwyn Ave nue Is growing longer every day. Have you noticed it? Your Number Or the number of your favorite lot In Myers Park may be found on the green triangle lot sign bearing in white figures, the number of the block and lot, as shown on the Myers Park maps. These maps may be found in our offices and In the offices of several real estate firms in the city, and we would be glad to give you, at any time, full information as to how you could buy your favorite lot and build there.

A cold snap like the one we had finds many persons unprepar- ed for It, and the telephone rang raany Ume8 a banging inquiries about stove wood and plumbers and coal and other problems arriving with the cold weather. And the usual questions continued Just the same questions about plant ing grass and ploughing vegetable gar dens and spraying fruit trees and or dering shrubs with red berries. And we were in a position to find answers for all of them. Due Recognition The current issue of The Garden Magazine, among Its club notes, sched ules the meeting dates or the Garden Club of Myers Park with meeting, of other Garden Clubs and Agricultural Associations all over the United States. This proves that outsiders also rec ognize that The Garden Club of Myers Park ranks in Importance with asso ciations much larger and older than ours. High Sheriff Montgomery, will take charge of the meeting and hold a mock trial for the pleasure and en tertainment of all Christian Endeav orers of the city and surrounding churches Others participating In the trial will be F. H. Bedding, prosecuting attorney; R. E. Forbis, attorney for the defense, and Ed DeArmond, who stands charged with mlss-feasance, mal-feasance. and non-feasance, hold ing a responsible office In the Chris tian Endeavor Society. Elaborate preparations have been made and an enjoyable occasion is anticipated by the members of the various Chris tian Endeavor Societies and their friends. The meeting will be held promptly at 7:45 and the mock trial will be held immediately after the business session. EPF ICENCV OFFICE EQUIPMENT We Invite You to Visit Our OFFICE FURNITURE DEPT.

C This Is aa organisation known as the Sidewalk Board of Censorship. Wo all belong to It and hold a meeting every time we go for a walk or ride. We do not say in formal terms "This has my approval.'' or T rec ommend that this opinion be adopt ed," or "Let us Investigate further into the whys and wherefores," but we mean these when we say, "I like the way they're fixed that yard," or "Don't yon think that roof Is a sight?" or "Why in the world do yon suppose they put that house there?" Did you ever wonder why we are all such ardent members of the Side walk Board of Censorship? It Is be cause every one of us is deeply lnter i ested in homes, our own or that of someone else. If we have a home we can appreciate the fine points and at tractions of other and enjoy compar ing them with our own. And if we have not a home, we are even more interested in how other persons are building theirs; we put ourselves In the place of the builder and. In im agination, turn and twist and re model the plan to suit our tastes and requirements. Consequently, few of the homes inspected from the side- ' pas" the Bard f CwsorthlP as most homes are built to fit an indi vidual family. Why not try to suit yourself with a home in Myers Park a home bought, planned, built and developed according to your own ideas of what a home should be. INTERCESSORY SERVICE WILL BE HELD TONIGHT The Episcopal Churches of Char lotte will hold a joint service in Sx. Peter's Church this evening at 7:45 o'clock. This service will be under the auspices of the Woman's Auxili aries of all the Episcopal Churches, being the second of a series of in tercessory services to be held during the year. Rev. Robert White, of Haymarket. Va.. will be the speaker at this ser vice. Mr. White was a missionary of the Episcopal Church In the Phil ippine Islands for many years and has done work in the missionary field elsewhere. The Episcopal clergymen of the other churches will take part in this OFFICE OUTFITTERS " " HINTS FOR FEBRUARY GARDENING.
