Win ston of Durham, and surveying the green vista of the Broad street park ways and the bright emerald sward of newly planted lawns, and hearing his splendid compliment to the spir it that makes Southern Pines a beau ty spot, induces the thought that some need of praise is due the work ers who labored so faithfully through many years to bring out of a vir tual wilderness the tree lined streets and shrub-bordfered avenues now evoking universay admiration from our visitors. Nearly fifty years have come and gone since twenty feminine settlers pioneering from their prim New Eng land gardens, confronted the sandy trails, myriad black-jacks, scattered pines and stumps that surrounded their new home, and promptly organ ized a Village Improvement Society. They proceeded to remove the stumps from Broad street, Pennsylvania ave nue, and other streets as yet hardly more than lines upon the map there by Instilling a spirit that, fostered and emulated by their successors, has transformed the former wilder ness to its present beauty. They Had a Vision This pioneering improvement so ciety numbering among its members Mrs. L. A. Young, Mrs, Alice Marks, Mrs. C. B. Grout, Mrs. Philander Pond, Miss Louise Kitchell, Mrs. A. M. Clarke and other early settlers, was followed by another, 1895-1900, numbering among its members many prominent residents, the Rev. H. T. Gregory, John N. Powell, W. M. Saunders, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Couch and the Rev. G. R. Ransome, who continued to plant the parkways, principally with our present majestic sycamores, tind to cultivate floral gardens. The Saunders gardens at West Broad street and Connecticut avenue were deservedly famous, a^ were those of Dr. Swett with their en circling rows of elms and magnolias. Just a few years later, in 1907 the Civic Club was organized and under the leadership of Mrs. A. P. L. Dull continued the work of planting the railway parkway on West Broad street, between Now Hampshire anti New York avenue, a work begun in 1897 by the station agent, Burroughs. They also encouraged the work cf planting trees and the general. care of the streets. The gardens of Mrs. Dull, E. A. Tracy, Mrs. T. S. Burgess, Mrs. W. N. Crain, Mrs. I. F Chan dler, W F. Junge and others were the admiration of residents and visitors. Downtown Planting Coming down to comparatively modern history is the extensive beau tification of the Broad street park ways sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce under the inspiration of Fra-ik Buchan, the absolute (.ransfor- mation of Mount Hope Cen?-etery by the Relief Society, and *he dogwood and pin3s now lining the highway from Lakeview to Aberdeen, of which the first planting, tht block of West Bioad street leading into the high way is already an impressive fore cast of the beauty of the whole, while the work on the Midland Road from the town border to Pinehurst, in part almost the very latest ieveljpment of the program already .a serene display fulfilling all our hope's. The Kiwanis Club played an important part in much of this beautificati.-.n. The parking of the Country Club was done under the direction of M. G. Nichols, F. F. Travis and J. N. Powell. Quite recently County For ester Alex Fields, with the aid of the C. C. C., planted over 1,200 pines as a border to the entrance to tha fire tower west ot Mount Hope Cemetery. Within a few short years thes2 new plantings will become a border of greenery matching the growth plant ed in former years by the devoted pioneers who had the vision and the will to make our town and its ap proaches beautiful, and whose vision has been fulfilled not only by our trees and shrubbery, but by our many private gardens. 70 Seconds Southern Pines School Quick ly Cleared When Dr. Herr Rings Alarm While paying an inspection vi.sit to the Southern Pines School last week Dr. George G. Herr, pre.sident of the School Board, accompanied by Franlc Maples, another member of the board, a.'iksd Principal Frank Webster where the button that rang the fire alarm was. Mr. Webster showed him and Dr. Herr pressed ii. Within 70 seconds every pupil was 100 feet away from the building, in lines ac cording to classes, with a, teacher at their head. There are 455 pupils in the school. The school has fire drills once or twice a month, and that the child, ren have harned their lesson in this subject was ably demonstrated to the School Board members. Dr. Herr and Mr. Maples were also much impressed upon their visit with the happy at. titude of the pupils in the school. “I wish more parents would visit the school and see what is going on I there,” Dr. Herr said this week. Despite some handicaps we feel that the schoo,’ is running very smoothly. But if we could interest the parents more in the institution I believe we could develop public sentiment for the removal of the handicaps. A number of changes are necessary and we’d like the parents’ cooperation in bringing them about.” CAROLINA POWER & LIGHT GIVES EFFICIENT SERVICE F»HOTOGRAF»HY Preserve the beautiful mem ory of a friend, or a memor able scene, or home with a fine photograph.
