TRAINING CAMPC FOR
MOORE BOYS
(Continued From Page One.)
available and with the military fea
tures will be all the sports and
games in which boys and young men
like to indulge.
The boys who are eligible must be
at least 17 years old, of sound phy
sical condition and of good charac
ter. The government furnishes cloth
ing, subsistences, railroad fare to
and from the camp, free medical serv
ices, free instruction in athletics,
sports, army drill, marching, riding,
target and pistol shooting. Each
camp has its religious services with
its own chaplains who will be prom
inent factors in the camp work. The
boys come in contact with capable
men as instructors, and with a prop
er type of other boys, and come away
with a better idea of discipline, of
manhood, of industry and healthful
advancement than when they arrive
there.
Jerry can be consulted at his office
at Aberdeen, or a telephone call will
get him at almost any time. The
camp involves rio responjsibility in
case of future wars for the boys are
under no obligiation to the govern
ment in any way. When the thirty
days of the outing is finished the re
lations between the boys and the
government ceases and they are on
exactly the same plane as boys who
have not attended the camps. Jerry
says those interested should confer
with him as soon as possible, as the
number allotted to Moore County is
not very large.
and they are monotonous and soon
get on our nerves. Anything in the
making is more interesting than the
finished product. A rose in full
bloom is about ready to fade, and
when a person reaches the limit of
his capacity he is about ready to die.
A child is interesting because he
walks over his mistakes and trys
again. And so, none of us should
dispise the years of growth, and none
should become discoluraged because
perfection seems beyond their reach.
If we could be satisfied not to try to
cover such a wide territory we might
not need to specialize. This is a big
old world and when people try to
reach outside their bounds they lose
their influence, prestige and sympa
thetic understanding of their own
people; and when they do that they
become machines and are unrecog
nized by world-wid# interests and
uncared for in their own commun
ities.
My mind sidetracked on “Special
ists” instead of “Special Days” that
I had in mind when starting this
article.
Next Sunday is a “special” day set
aside for the purpose of honoring
mothers. If it had been designated
as an extra special it would, per
haps, answer its purpose

NEW CLUB HOUSE

cement concrete in the base and logs
for the upper structure. The base
ment will serve for a heating plant
and other purposes. The upper story
will have a large club room, lockers,
baths, etc., and will have in the cen
ter of the big club room a set of
fire places that will be a novelty. A
big stack of stone will have three
openingss facing three different di
rections, each a separate fire place.
In the vicinity of the chib house a
nine-hole golf course has been laid
off and it is soon to be constructed,
and there on the hills above the new
ly made lake, in full view of the
large impounding re^voir of the
Southern Pines water plant, and
overlooking a vast expanse of terri
tory, Mr. Barber will have a golf
course and club house that will be
hard to beat any place.
The oad leading in from the Mid
land road is wide and well built, and
will serve as an ingress to the new
club house, and will also permit de-
The road leading in from the Mid
land farms as fast as Mr. Barf>er
cares to turn hsi attention in that
direction. It gives an opening to a
pleasing bit of country, and brings
much of Mr. Barber’s big acreage of
land into direct touch with the Pine-
hurst and Knollwood villagesw
new type of world war comedy, and
it deals with a new locale, the Russo-
German front. Among its unusual
featiures is the appearance of the fa
mous Russian women soldiery, “The
Battelion of Death,” which figures
in some of the most fun-provoking
scenes. “Lost at the Front” is a
riot of hilarious comedy of every
kind from slapstick to comedy drama
throughout all its rapid sequeness
and is acclaimed the fun masterpiece
of the year.

exclusive day seems poor compensa
tion for the constant mother-love
that manifests itself for years and
years, every day and hour, and into
the lonely watches of the darkest
nights and tramps the weary miles
of times alone and in the shadows,
because she loves her children.
However, some one with good in -
tentions set aside the day especially
for mothers. And if I had the gift
of tongues and could speak in elo
quent terms I would write a fine
tribute to mothers. But it would
not make them happy.
Mothers are not like most people;
the service that real mothers render
is prompted by love; and love seeks
no reward other than that some one
take up the threads where they drop
ped them and carry on to perfection
the great fabric of Life that nothing
but love and patience can weave.
And so, unable to do the subject
justice, I say, only, (Jod bless tne

concrete bottom where women and

water from a stream that also heads
in the hills and is free from contam

many years one of our number.
