GREETINGS THE POCKETBOOK of KNOWLEDGE B/ TQPPS In this the annual Resort Number of The Pilot, it is a pleasure and a privilege to wel come to Southern Pines those of you who see eye to eye with those of us who have pur feet permanently in the sand—that this is an ideal place to spend a winter. Of course we of the res ident population go further. We maintain it is an ideal year ’round home. Most of us are northerners who came down here as you have come, with every intention of returning af ter a pleasant sojourn. We found it too inviting. We’re still here, and happy. A perusal of this issue of The Pilot may give you some of the reasons why we came, saw and were conquered. We boast be cause we laelieve we have some thing to boast of. And we’re growing all the time, because so many find here that which they are seeking—healthful climate, peace, quiet,-yet accessibility to “the old home town” up noith. We’re growing, but there’s room for more. Make yourself at home this winter—and may be you’ll make yourself a home next spring. A coi'dial welcome.

Tea will be served in the rec tory immediately following the talk. Grains of Sand THE AIRPORT’S IMPORTANCE Expert sociologists argue that when a discovery or invention that is destined to have a mark ed effect on social condition is made, it is about 25 years before its influence is clearly felt, and if by that time it has become evident that the resulting new product, system or whatever it may be will be of lasting bene fit, it is some ten years more be fore it comes into common use by the public. Such being the case it is time for the flying machine to be- , come a common means of con veyance, since it has been about 35 years since Wilbur Wright se'ited himself in a crude as semblage of wood, wires and wings to be jerked from the top of Kill Devil Hill by a pile-driv er weight for the first flight of man in a heavier-than-air machine. And sure enough, such machines are rapidly be coming popular as private pas senger vehicles, more rapidly becoming popular as private passenger vehicles, more rapidly, probably, than most people realize. The use and operation of private airplanes by Tom, Dick and Harry and their bro thers, as well as by Hariett and her sisters is fast becoming commonplace. All over the country aggrega tions of nonprofessional fliers are forming associations to stimulate interest in aviation good fellowship by taking group flights to points that it former ly took a day or more to get to, now reached in an hour or two. For instance, fourteen planes of the High Point Flying squad ron organized two months ago, recently left High Point on a Sunday morning and landed in Knollwood in time for breakfast, returned in time for a stunt ex hibition at their home field that afternoon. This emphasizes the import ance of adequate landing fields, imperative in resort areas. The situation in aviation now is much as it was in motoring in the 1920’s, when the State High way Commission was founded to establish and improved road system. It may well be that construction arVl. maintenance of airports will become a State enterprise, but for the present, this '>'ork must be done by lo cal imerests, just as was long the case with r»)ad improve ment.

But too much cannot be done in this connection. —A. S. NEWCOMB. BIRD CLl’B MEMBERS .\TTEND ST.\TE MEETING AN OLD TIME X'EWSPAPER In most newspaper families it seems to be the habit to save and put away a collection of old papers and clippings. As the cus tom continues, drawers and cab inets fill up and then comes the day when the overflow mark is unheeded and an avalanche hits the floor and the bottom is then on the top and the lop is headed t'^vvards the bottom. In one of those recent upheavals a yellowed old-timer came up marked April 12, 1834. A newspaper 100 years ago was an interesting piece of printed matter. The series of steps the rudimentary papers went through to reach the great publications of today is one of the interesting features in the history of the print shop. The centenarian had only one bold line across its front page. “At- kinsons Saturday Evening Post.” A serial story, “The Bar on’s Bride,” claimed the top of every column. National and for- eigh affairs were given a place on the editorial page, and from the tone of things they gleaned the country. Fayetteville was given prominence. ‘A singular incident occurred in the town of Fayetteville, N. C.. not long since, as we learn by the Observer of that place. It appears that some persons had been amusing themselves by worrying an ox that had been confined in a wagon lot for the purpose of being fattened, and that they had employed for this purpose an old ragged coat. Af ter he had become much incens ed, an individual put on the coat and sallied into the yard, when the ox made at him and followed him up a flight of stairs into the second story. Here missing the object of his pursuit, he bolted through a wndow and came down into the street, con siderably injured by his leap of about 15 feet.’’ The modern Fayetteville Ob server would no doubt be amus ed at its early ancestor and also over the town’s publicity in the old Philadelphia Post. —H.K.B. »nSS HIUOERMAN CAST AS “EMH.Y” IN “OUR TOWN” The Roosevelt influence: t'een by C. H. Bowden in a store window on his way down to the Sandhills, a sign reading; ‘•Do Your Christmas Shopping Ear., ly, for Tomorrow May Bo Chiistmas.' If you make a better mouse trap, the world will make a path to your door to collect taxes on it. A number of troubled town people have asked repeatedly what was the final disposition of Laddie and how and where was he buriPd? The an swer was found in a '. oung woman who had a warm interest in the old dog, who asked for permission to re cover him .from a place known in I the human world as a piece of gi'ound j appropriated as a burial spot for the ; destitute and the unknown, or the I potters field. I Laddie today lies under sonic i trees in a wide open back yard, a favored haunt in life, surorunded by friends, both four-legged and two. Four members of the Southern Pines Bird Club attended the very interesting meeting of the North Carolina State Bird Club held Friday evening in Greensboro with Miss Claudia Hunter of Henderson presid ing. Dr. H. H. Brimley, curator of the Museum of Natural Hisitory, Raleigh, gave a brief discussion of birds on Pea Island. One of the objects of the meeting was to draw into the club the zoology departments of high school,g through their local bird clubs. This should be of interest to zoology teachers and students in Southern Pines, as Sou thern Pine.s ha.s one of the most ac tive bird clubs in the state. lacks fell k From nearby farms, fresh every | Saturday at the Curb Market, vege-1 tables, turkeys and fowl. j FOOD YOU LIKE SIZZLING STEAKS SEA FOOD Scallops, Oysters Lobsters 7 A.

C. || D O RN’S ‘F"INESX IN F"OCDS ♦» Miss Catherine Hilderman of Sou thern Pines is playing the part of “E:mily’ in "Our Town,” by Thorn ton Wilder, to be produced by the Play-Likers of Woman’s College, Un iversity of ’North Carolina, in Aycock Auditorium at Greensboro Saturday evening, December 16. Last week Charlie Picquet had an old-fashioned picture at his Sou thern Pines theater for two nights He told gome of his patrons before hand; “It is one of those better pic tures. especially for the family, which I predict will not draw anything at the box office and is one of the reasons why more of the same char acter are not made.” There wasn't any deep plot to the thing, in fact there wasn’t much to it^ no illicit love affairs, no sob stuff; there were no more husbands*and wives around than were needed, no smashing of home altars, and no warped and twisted thoughts to be taken away from the stage. It was a simple little yarn about a small girl who ran away from an orphan asylum with her dog. A little giri and a dog make a great pair at any time. A few of her trials and tribula tions are chronicled along with the bright spots that were hers. As the audience left the theater the impres- Sion was that it wasn’t a bad way to spend an evening. A little girl who believed in God and most of hu manity wasn’t a bad companion. The old fashioned story with its whole some ideas and homely philosphies was .accepted as a pleasant change from the modem screen versions of fered. WOUIJ>N”r VA<X:iNATE baby COUPLE LANDS IN COURT Andrew and Nettie Eenymon, a colored couple from Addor, were in Moore county Recorder’s Court Mon day found guilty of refuE.ing to com ply with the hea til law in regard to having their 12 month-old baby vaccinated against diphtlieria. They were given 30 days in jail, this to be suspended uro'’ condition that t’jey present in court next Mon day a certificate from a reputable physician showin^j that the child has been vaccinated as requi’^ed by law. This is the fi.'st case of the kind to come up in the c-.<unty court since the enactment o' the law requiring the immvmlzation of children between the ages of six xnonths and six years. 1 THANKSGIVING is Only 2 Weeks Away Give us your order now for your Thanksgiving Turkey.
