They’re one street towns, with stores lined up sol idly on both sides. Trees are few ; and far between. j If in motoring through these villages anything at all makes any lasting impression on you it is the residential section, an occasional attractive garden, a well kept lawn. The business sections are alike in ninety-nine out of a hundred. It seems to us that South ern Pines is one of these hun dredth towns. It is distinctive— distinctive through the fact that its main street is landscap ed, that its buildings are not cut from the same pattern, that they do not all abut the side walk, that here and there are shade trees and lawns and flow er beds. And that right in the heart of town is a well laid out and well kept park. There has been ample evi dence that Southern Pines is a town remembered by the pass* ing tourist; it is even remem bered by passengers on trains. It stands out. We venture to say that this “advertisement,” if you want to call it that, has brought more people here and kept them here than any other form of advertising or publicity the town has done. Any move, therefore, which would tend to carry on along the line of making and keeping Southern Pines distinctive should be very deeply consider ed by the resident population. There appears to be a certain apathy about the coming spec ial election on the question of acquiring additional public property for beautification pur poses. For that is what it boils down to—beautification. Own ed by the Municipality of Sou thern Pines, the property ad joining the fine new postoffice building is insured against un attractive, (ineffectual develop ment. Left to shift for itself, there can be no guarantee of the result. There should be no apathy here. Citizens should look care fully into the pros and cons, should decide the only question involved: is it worth the price? —and should register and vote accordingly. Tlae Pilot has en deavored in previous issues to throw some light on the cost to taxpayers. It seeiAs negliga- ble in comparisoii with the re turn. For the return is the contin uation of the policy which has made Southern Pines wjiat it is today — a distinctive village which attracts. b m m 0 ■WE MlAi INVCNTEP ftV AN AMeRicAj^/ rjotvmiM dofui MENTeP mu JB7> WMiB Sew/Ni AiA BAPTIST MiSilONAKy IN yOKOMMAJ WWN AMI&ftCAKS WERe FIRST iKTWPOCtP IMTO SREAT BRITAIN m LAW RTOOIffi PRlVER ID HAVE A MAN PRKtOe THE VTHICie By 60 IN6 A RCP FVM TO'WARN RIDERS ANO PRIVERS Of HORSES* Fly/ A FLY LAYS AS Ai /20 e66S AT A TIMC -AND IT Wiy TAKES 8 HOURS THE ES6S TO HATCH INTO LARVA* THAT BECOME rULL FLEPsep FiiE* IN 10 DAys tinut Fifcoutp HAve oven n.ooo.ooo fextttmi IN TH£ SHOm Ptmov Of iMQHTftH) A4 V ^RFSULT OfvU fTHE C0NS1ANT\iV EFTORT OF manufactorer^iU TOWARP V AKIPCNTS Ane 6/H lOWSR TOMy THAN IN, mr/ ..

And that is gentle, he is fine, he is in telligent and we may well say about him, as has been saic truly about few men, that when he was made they put into him about all that could be put into a gentleman.” Representative Luther A Johnson of Texas said: "For eight years I have served with him as a member of the Foreign Af fair Committee and have, therefore been closely associated with him in the performance of duty, and have come to know nim intimately and well, and have for him great admira tion and a deep and affectionate re gard. “To my mind, he is the ideal type of man to serve as a member of the Congress of the United States, cour teous and tactful, possessing intel lectual ability in a marked degree a high sense of justice, sound judg ment, a good stock of common sense and a pleasing personality, combined with a courageous and determined will to carry out his convictions of what he conceives to be right. He has breadth of vision, the love of country, and a devotion to the ideals and best traditions of our Republic The nation will lose an able, faith ful, and conscientious servant when he retires, and the entire member ship of this House, on both sides of the aisle, will miss him; and I am sure that I speak not only my own sentiment but yours as well when I say he carries with him, as he vol untarily retires to private life, the esteem, affection, good will, and best wishes of this House- “I do not know who the successor of the able gentlemen from North Carolina will be, but I seriously doubt whether the electorate can find one who will measure up to the high standard of statesmanship displayed by him as member of this House, and I know that none can ever com mand in a higher degree the warmth of affeoiion and esteem that this House entertains for Walter Lam beth. May the future hold in store for him the full measure of health, happiness, and prosperity which he so richly deserves-” Tomorrow, Saturday, deter mines (with apologies tothe Re publican candidate) who shall represent this district as suc cessor to Mr. Lambeth. Be our next Congressman Mr<> Burgin or Mr. Deane, our advice to him is: Follow in the footsteps of your predecessor in office. DR. NEAL AT STATE AND NATIONAL CONVENTIONS Dr. J. I.

Republicar® as w^ll as Democrats lauded the North Carolinian and wished him God speed. Said Majority Leader Sam Rey burn: “I regret deeply that J.

He tion of the national association in New York. VlTiile away he will visit a number of veterinary hospitals for ideas for his own new hos^pital on AIARRIAOE LICENSES Grains of Sand If you passed the Sandhills steeple chase course the other evening and thought you were seeing things, you were. You were seeing Dante Mon- tesanti playing the role of a race horse and running around the more than a mile length track. It seems he’s reducing. No, he didn’t take the jumps, he told us. Fordham college’s star, Wojcle- chowicz, is the first man selected for the Eastern All-Star football team to play in a big professional game in New York September 7th. ‘‘If the rest of the team are going to have names like that, I don’t want to hear any more about it,” says The Pilot’s star linotype operator, Dan S. Ray. It’s W. O. Burgin of Lexington or C. B. Deane of Rockingham for your next Representative in Congress, It’s E. J. Bums of Carthage or Le- land McKeithen of Aberdeen and Pinehurst for your next County Pros ecuting Attorney. Vote tomorrow. And are you registered for the special election on the question of the acquisition by the Town of Sou thern Pines of the property adjoin, ing the postoffice on West Broad street? You have to especially reg ister to vote, and you can do this tomorrow when you cast your second primary ballots. A Treasury report shows that of} the 130,000,000 people in the U. S., I 43 had incomes of $1,000,000 or more in 1937. Their aggregate income was j 573,000,000. If every penny was j squeezed out of them it would not { meet the government expenditures' for 48 hours.
