Pottle Bride of Ralph Lockwood Last Friday In Jefferson, N. H., at the High lands Chapel, whose white spire is such a familiar landmark on the Jef ferson countryside at the foot of the Presidential Range, a marriag-5 was celebrated last Friday between Miss Dorothy Pottle and Ralph liockwood. The bride is a member cf one of the oldest North Country fam ilies and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. Pottle of Jefferson and Southern Pines, The groom is the son of Mrs. Ethel Lockwood and the late Dr. George Lockwood of Brook line, Mass. The Episcopal wedding service was read by the Rev. Arthur Dunston of Dover, N. H., and the wed- ding music was played by Fred Ha mer of Lawrence, Mass. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a princess gown of white satin, which had been her mother’s wedding dress. Her tulle veil was draped from a Marie Antoin ette headdress. She carried pink rose buds and white peas. Mrs. Robert Pottle was the ma- Sandhills Project a Good Start in Needed Conservation Policy U. S. Should Have Started Re forestation and Reclamation Years Ago, Says A. M. Snider By A. M. SNIDER, Hoffman The Hoffman projects, dedicated last Friday, are fast passing from blueprint to reclaimed forest, to pro ducing fisheries, to yielding nurseries and to used recreation grounds. Thousands of folks attended the dedication exercises held in the park last Friday. Hundreds visited the park Sunday. While Pinehurst and Southern Pines are winter play grounds for rich Yankees, there is no reason why the Hoffman park should not be a winter and summer playground for common North Caro linians. When the 65-acre lake has been ad ded, the golf course completed, ana some 10 or 20 additional cabins erect ed, there will be sufficient recreation al facilities for the common folks at a common pocketbook price. While sixty odd thousand acres have been returned to the forest, there are probably more than that number which should be added.

Robert Pottle was the best man and the ushers were John and George Pottle, brothers of tha bride. A reception was held at the Highland House following the wed ding. The bride studied at Boston Uni versity and the University of Ver mont. Her father is the proprietor of the Highland House in Jefferson anu of the Hollywood in Southern Pines. The groom is a graduate of the University of Vermont and is engag ed in business in South Acton, Mass., where the couple will reside. years ago, and re-forestation and af forestation should have been a na tional policy for .30 years. Conservation of all of our natural resources should become a definite policy of our national government. We cannot re-coal, or re-oil, or re iron our land; but we can re-soil and re-forest it.

Of this amount 2.02 inches fell on the 17th, and 2.10 inches on the 31st. Whila most of the state. Including Moore county, suffered under an arid spell, our rainfall of 8.48 inches brought the total for the seven months of the year to a surplus over the normal expectation of 4.07 inches. The early part of the month was hot, the 9th registering 101 and the 10th 102 degrees, but 18 partly cloudy days with accompanying cool ing breezes during the latter part re duced the monthly temperatures not only under those of last July but also those of the long time averages. The low temperature of the month. 57, was recorded on the 1st. Long time Max. Min.

Turner left Southern Pines with 26 Cubs and three Den Chiefs; Douglas Bailey, Allison Fields and George McCormack, to join the Rae ford pack for three days of camp ing at Camp Connelly. Alfred Cole, Scoutmaster of Troop No. 1, Raeford. is in charge of the camp. The Rev. E. R. Clegg, pastor of the Methodisi church in Raeford, is the Cubmaster of the Cub Pack there, and will be present to assist. Mr. Turner and ali the boys appreciated the invitation to join the Raebord pack for it will be a great treat and a good experi ence. Scoutmaster Cole of the Raeford troop has also extended an invitation to Southern Pines Troop No. 2 to join his troop for a week at Camp Connelly later in the month and the local boys, recalling the good tim-i they had last summer at this camp, are making preparations to go. Southern Pines Cub pack No. 2 will not have its regular meeting this week, but will meet on Thursday, August 12, at 7:30. in his address last Friday. It seems to me most fortunate that w'e have I Mr. Hoey as governor at this time. He is well founded in those good American doctrines of the Constitu tion, democracy, liberty and inde pendence. He is a Gibraltar of those things which we regard as Ameri can. Yet, Governor Hoey is not blind to the fact that we need economic and social adjustments. Hoffman fisheries are now furnish ing small fish for stocking streams and lakes elsewhere. Folks interested in such fish should communicate with the fisheries. And folks who are interested in forest nursery stock will probably be able to procure them here at the nursery. While the nur sery is primarily intended for gov ernment supply, I understand that private sources may obtain surpluses. Having been light here all the time where I could and did see what went on. I am often asked the question; "Was there not a lot of public money wasted there?” It should be remem bered that the indigent and jobless of five counties were herded up and hauled here and dumped in the woods and swamps. With that kind of la bor most of this work has been done. The character of the labor necessar ily ran up the cost. Mr. Eatman through the process of elimination has rid the projects of much of the deadwood. And finally by the aid of bis able lieutenants. Cousins, Bowden, Graham and Hutto, is doing a fine piece of work. while the family was away and took two guns. Last Sunday night the store of Roy Hendricks was entered and from it were removed a double- barrel shot gun and cigarettes, smok ing tobacco, snuff and chewing guni. The gun was located Monday in the woods near the old hosiery mill, but the identity of the thief or thieves is unknown.
