PAGE TWELVE THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK Comment The Hotels GUESTS returning to THE CARO LINA will find this splendid hostelry Bhining spick and span. The outside walls have been given a new coat of beautiful squash pie yellow and the bright autumn sunshine reflects there from in “more than Oriental splendor.” The radiance will be sufficient to warm you all over on chilly days. The in terior likewise has borne bravely the redeeming l^sh of the decorator. In the dining room you now toy with your filet mignon in a restful haze of pale buffs and browns; in the lobby you knit, or smoke, as the case may be, and listen to the jolly golf liars, in sur roundings of virgin white. The desk, behind which the patient clerks beam, has been enlarged, and so hereafter in getting your mail you will not be en gulfed in a roaring melee of humanity. Mr. Priest has enlarged his private of fices; Mr. J. W. Keeland will take the place of Mr. Judkins, who has gone to Belleair. Otherwise thei staff remains Bubstantially the same as last year. Old friends of THE HOLLY INN will rejoice over the improvements there. The lobby and dininig room have been entirely redecorated and ap pear to be a small edition of The Caro lina. Upstairs the bedrooms have been refurnished and bathrooms have been installed, and it is hoped, if our crew of paint daubers can find time, to give the Inn a coat of paint outside. This hotel is just naturally determined to keep up with its big brother hotel on the hill. Friends of former years will miss our genial Mr. Abbe who has long been presiding at this old stand. His place this winter will be taken by Mr. E. O. Fitzgerald, of Grill Room fame. All jaded epicures who have lunched at The Country Club will now repair to The Holly Inn, for where Mr. Fitz gerald goes there goes also M. Des- chand, his chef. And now we come to THE BERK SHIRE, last but not least in our af fections. Those who visit The Berk shire this season will find many new baths installed—and of course Mr. and Mrs. Robinson. Carpenters and plumb ers have wrought many minor improve ments in this hotel, all of which tend to raise, if possible, the level of solid, quiet comfort which prevails there. And each year finds old guests returning faithfully, to take their ease at this inn and * ‘ let the world wagge. ’ ’ Recent Building Development OWING to disturbed labor and market conditions the building program in Pine- hurat the past summer has not beeen as extensive as in the years befom the war, but there has been, nevertheless, a healthy expansion within moderate limits of time and labor, and the town has more than kept pace with its neighbors or with any town of the same size and character. The most notable achievement has been the transformation of the old Palm Out of the chrysalis of this abandonod structure, long sunk in degradation and fallen, like Babylon, from an higli es tate, has emerged a modern butterily known to the world now as The Clover Leal'. We hold responsible therefor a certain A. S. Newcomb, local dealer in dirt. The old building has been shingled, slated and made fireproof; the interior has been remodelled and contains four charming suites of a sitting room, two bedrooms, bath and kitchenette, with accommodations for servants. The idea of the whole arrangement is to supply a long felt want in Plnehurst—namely— satisfactory accommodations for those who do not care for hotel life and yet do not feel equal to the burden of a large cottage. Two new residences just completed are those of Mrs. T. T. Watson, of Wayne, }*a., and Mr. G. W. Statzell, of Drcxel Hill, Pa. Mrs. Watson’s bungalow is on the lot adjoining Mr. J. II. Andrews and it really looks as though it has, like Topsy, just naturally “growed up” in the pine trees without any effort. There is no cottage in Pinehurst which fits so admirably into its surroundings. Mr. training at Toronto went over seas and remained in service a year and a half; he has an enviable reputation as a skil ful pilot; no passenger has ever been injured in his machine and we are in deed fortunate in securing his services. The coming of Lieut. Mitchell not only makes it possible for one to drop into Pinehurst for a game of golf and a cup of tea and return to the office next morning, but it also adds to the already varied list of amusements and recrea- ions offered at Pinehurst. And further. It is a forerunner of the day when our guests will possess their oavu sky-wagons and will descend upon us from the sky in flocks like robins migrating South. Truly, birds of passage! The New Fourteen Points 1. THAT the name of Brandywine, N. Y., be changed to Coldwater, N. Y. 2. That “Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes” be made the National An them. 3. That all mention of the Bourbon Kings l)e expunged from school books. Lieut. Mitchell Maintains Regular AND New Statzell’s cottage, around the corner from Mr. Houston’s, has likewise called forth much favorable comment. It is surprising to find how much room Mr. Statzell has secured within the modest dimensions of four brown shingle walls. Mrs, John D. Chapman, of Green wich, Conn., has remodelled The Beech to meet her requirements. Casement windows, a hand-rived, cypress shingle roof and an ' e;l doorway give a de cided air of destinction to this cottage. Airplane Service to Pinehurst ARRANGEMENTS have been com pleted for a passenger carrying airplane S'",’ o between Pinehurst, Richmond, ^\dshington and New York, and all who care to fly to Pinehurst and risk their necks with Lieut. Mitchell instead of the • Id Seaboard, are invited to do so. Particulars concerning this service will be furnished by the Pinehurst General Office. Lieut. J. A. Mitchell comes from Montpelier, Vt. He entered the Royal Flying Coipj in June 1917 and after ’ASSENGER SERVICE BETWEEN PiNEHURST York •4. That on account of being sug gestive, rye bread be withdrawn from sale by all bakeries. 5. That no part of a ship be referred to as the saloon, for the reason that such reference might raise false hopes. 6. That all bars be removed from har bor entrances or be designated by some other name. 7. That the word “port” be expung ed from navigation charts and references. 8. That the use of alcohol lamps be forbidden by law. 9. That the useless 9,000,000 white jackets and aprons in this country be sent to the starving Bolsheviki. 10. That the word “still” be ex punged from the American language and all dictionaries, and the word “quiet” substituted, 11. That all mint be ploughed under and vanilla beaus planted. 12. That any barber tantalizing a customer by using bay rum on his hair he given ten years. 13. That men with the “foot-rail limp” shall not be allowed to march in any public parades. 14. That all pretzels shall be made straight, instead of bent in the old familiar style, to avoid reminiscences. —Los Angeles paper. The Sandhill Fair ON another page we have devoted considerable space to The Sandhill Fair and have attempted to outline what a visitor nuiy expect to find at this famous Moore County Frolic. The Fair really desei'ves its allotted space— and more, if more space could be con ceded. To the casual reader, to the oc casional visitor to Pinehurst and to those unfamiliar Avith Pinehurst iu any other aspect than that presented by The Carolina Hotel and The Country Club> it may seem uniisual to dwell at length on a subject so trivial and common as a Country Fair; but in these days when, certain excited groups of coal miners, railway workei-is, a(nd policemen deem themselves possessed of more power than the Government and imagine they hold the population of tho i-nited States ii> the hollow of their hand, it is pleasant to contemplate another and dissimilar section of tho proletariat cn fvie,—the farming bourgeoisie of a southern county, untamed and independent, Americans un tarnished, and under no delusion what ever as to the imminence of a promised Utopia, Moore County farmers are not yet tainted with teachings of false- prophets, nor do they bow down at the altar of Lenin or Trotsky. In fact, it is the vast, inert, unwieldly bulk of the country folk of the nation (whose power cannot bo measured and whose voice certainly cannot be heard in the uproar of the present soviet symphony) that constitutes a hopeful element and an abiding refuge in the midst of economic distress. Perhaps, moreover, because we do not have enough Country Fairs and bec*ause the rural elements of society lack effective organization, we are not yet fully conscious of the fact that there is latent in the countryside a tremendous corrective and stabilizing power, which if properly led and made articulate, could combat successfully the elements which are leading us> away from sober thinking down the doubtful paths that lead to anarchy and confusion. This may bo a rather formal state ment, or analysis, of the feelings evoked in the hearts and minds of those who attend the County Fair. To put it another way. We all must agree that a County Fair is a refreshing sight now adays. To enter within the gates of the fairgrounds is to leave behind for a moment the nightmare of industrial strife. But, after all, the Fair is some thing more than a narcotic and a balm for the weary. It ought to bring home to everyone the thrilling truth that if we were all working along the lines of the Fair, if the nation as a whole felt tho spirit of orderly industry, kindly co operation, hopeful patience, gradual im provement, homely economy and a right standard of living, as evidenced at the Fair, many difficulties now confronting us would dissolve like dtew before the dawn.
