FRIDAY. MAY 6. 1955
THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina
Seven Assets Of
Town Listed By
Local Hotel Man
Seven assets of Southern Pines
as a tourist attraction were cited
by George Pottle, co-owner and
operator of the Hollywood Hotel,
speaking to the Rotary Club last
Friday on what visitors like and
don’t like “as heard over the
front desk” of the hotel. Mr. Pot
tle was introduced by Garland
Pierce at the regular luncheon
meeting in the Country Club.
The assets: climate, well-kept
town, library, good shops, at
tractive theatres, first class hos
pitals and fine churches.
The hotel man cited as .attrac
tions the Golf Carrousel and the
increasingly important hunting
and steeplechasing activities.
Southern Pines needs to strive
for better golfing facilities, Mr.
Pottle said and mentioned dam
age to local courses due to
drought. He thinks that special
water rates should be offered to
golf courses by the town.
A larger town appropriation for
advertising was recommended
and more publicity matferial, in
cluding pictures, should be sent
out from Southern Pines, he be
lieves. '
Mr. Pottle analyzed the hotel
business in detail, telling how a
dollar taken in by the local hotel
is spent, leaving a seven per cent
return on the investment.
Prices for oats, barley and sor
ghum grain probably will average
below the 1954 levels this sum
mer. Large acreages are in pros
pect for these crops and supports
have been reduced.

A story filled with human in

against highly impressive, eye
filling backgrounds in VistaVi-

Periodically, the motion picture
screeen is made the beneficiary
of a feature which, because of its
subject miatter, locale, action and
suspense, must be classed as a
Western; but which so transcends
the average entry in that category
even many of the so-called su
oers—that its dramatic qualities
make it a film apart, and such is
the case with “Run For Cover.”
Cagney is ably supported by a
superb cast including -Viveca
Lindfors, John Derek, Jean Her-

novel, which has been on the
