Southern Knes is talking again about another new hotel to handle the increasing patronage. The winter is fully as satisfactory as could be desired, and is especially pleasing to the Pine Needles and the Chalfonte folks, who were wonderiing if they would start off well with their first season. No doubt exists now as to the wisdom of providing the new houses. The new building program for the summer appears to be most promis ing. Contractors are making figures and architects are making drawings for more buildings. From Pinehunit to Southern Pines the outlook for building is of the best, and the type of houses scheduled appears to be get ting more pretentious from year to year all along the line.

Monday evening he made a talk to the Rotary Club in Fayetteville about the Near East Colleges and the campaign that is being put on now for them. “It is not the Near East Relief that Governor Long and his different co-workers are supporting—it is the Near East College Association," says Mr. Scott. “Please explain to your people the difference.” This is only one of the many years the Near East l^elief has held a campaign—^but this IS the first and only year the Near East College Association make^ a <^rive, a drive for funds that will j>e sufficient to endow these six col- 6?es of the Near East and thereby enable them to continue teaching and educating those who need it most.

A dry, w'ndy period possibly aided these fires in getting a start and made control quite difficult. During the month of February the lookout on top of the Hotel at Pinehurst reported eighteen fires to the various fire wardens in the south ern section of the county, the major portion of these fires being held down to a few acres by the speedy work of the fire fighters. Two parties have been prosecuted for the violation of the State Forest Fire Laws and one party has paid the amount of suppression costs In the amouunt of $51.25. There are two more cases pending of parties being held responsible for fires es> cap'ng. Active steps are being taken b|r the wardens throughout the Coutt^ to prevent further spread of forest' 4ria and also to app^hendl ^esfRmsBbfei parties for violation of the fire laws.
