The Pines Needles, closed during depres sion years, has been completely re novated, though it is only seven years old, and the 18-hole Donald Ross golf course and grounds about the hotel newly landscaped, providing as picturesque a wlBter hostelry as there is to be found in the South. The Pine Needles opened last week, with Emmett E. Boone, operator of the Howell House at Westhampton Beach, Long Island, in charge. Ten nis as well as golf is available here. The Highland Pines Inn on Wey mouth Heights, spic and span and ready )'or its lopening within the next few weeks, will be under the management of Heaton I. Treadway, operator of the Red Lion Inn at Stockbridge, Mass., popular summer resort hotel, during this season. Much work has been done at this popular inn since last winter, and Mr. Tread way reports everything in readiness for a busy season. The Highland Pines is within walking distance of Southern Pines Country Club, where a long 18-hole golf course and a short nine-hold course are open to visitors throughout the winter. The inn has a fine tennis court on its own grounds. The Mid Pines Club, in the Knoll wood section, now operated as an inn with John J. Fitzgerald, former manager of the exclusive Oyster Harbors Club on Cape Cod, in charge will open on Decmeber 14th. This inn had a most successful sea son last winter and is a popular re treat for golfers, having its own 18- hole Donald Ross course considered by many as picturesque a lay-out as may be found in this section. The Highland Pines Inn, Mid- Pines Club and Pine Needles Inn are the largest of the winter hotels here. The Southland Hotel is already open for guests, though dining room service will not start until December 1st when its manager, Elmer Har rington, arrives from the north.

This inn is located in the residential sec- “What Weather?” The Answer is Simple: It’s Fine the Year ’Round. The Figures: By Charles Macauley The age old inquiry, “What weath er,” meaning in general the climate, receives a most reassuring reply from the dweller In the Sandhills. The dyed-in-the-wool inhabitant sings paeans of praise for May and Octo ber, but every month is praiseworthy, and as a matter of fact there is not much variation from the averages figured from the records of the past 35 years. Month by month the aver age temperature is shown below: Average 1934 1935 Jan. 44 46.1 44 Feb. ,44.3 34.6 46.3 Mar 53.6 50.7 56.1 April 61.3 62.5 58.7 May 70.4 69.8 66.7 June 76.9 78.6 79.1 July 78.9 79.4 78.1 Aug. 78.5 78.3 78.6 Sept. 73.3 70.2 69.9 Oct. 62.8 63.6 59.1 Nov. 52.8 53.2 Dec. 44.8 42.5 Some years the winter season will be just a little colder, or a little war mer, or the summer drops from hot to cool, once in a while we have a little snow, just enough to remind us that there Is such a phenomenon in nature. There was none in 1932 or 1933, eight inches on January 13th, 1934, and none in the winter season of 1934-1935. As for rainfall, just enough to keep the grass and the foliage of the pines and magnolias green.
