ORCHIDS—The public felt like saying “Orchids to Mr. and
Mrs. Karl Bridges” for the hospitality they extended in holding
open house for two successive weekends at Carolina Orchids, Inc.,
on which occasions around 600 visitors called—200 the first week
end and 400 last weekend. But inasmuch as the Bridges have
orchids by the thousand, perhaps a simple “thank you” from the
public would be more fitting. Above is a sample of the exquisite
flowers that were seen on the open house occasions at the Caro
lina Orchids greenhouses, one of the most famous in the South.
VISITORS FROM FIFTEEN STATES FLOCK
TO OPEN HOUSE AT CAROLINA ORCHIDS
“Open House” at Carolina Or
chids,, Inc., last Weekend drew 400
visitors who without doubt will
carry throughout the country the
story of the estimated 1,000 or
chids of 100 or more varieties
which they saw and the education
al display depicting their growth
from seedpod to beautiful blos
som.
Included in the 400 visitors reg
istered were people from 15 states:
Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island,
New York, Pennsylvania, Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Caro
lina, Georgia, Alabama, Texas,
Florida, Arizona, Colorado, and
California. Some of these from
far-away places were visiting in
this section, others were tourists
who chanced to hear of thei open
house event.
Mrs. Karl Bridges, the official
hostess, kept busy greeting visit
ors and making them feel wel
come. Mrs. Wayland Blue was in
charge of the register, and Mrs.
Emery Smith, Jr., directed guests
to the greenhouses.
Mr. Bridges and Wayland Blue
answered questions regarding the
growing of orchids, and Mr. and
Mrs. James Davis of Chapel Hill
discussed corsage designing with
those interested.
Serving as guides to conduct
groups through the greenhouses
were: sons and daughters of Mr.
and Mrs. Bridges, Sandra, Diana,
Eddie and Steve, also Mrs. Louise
Spence, and Emery Smith III.
This was the second of a series
of open houses to which the public
was invited by Mr. and Mrs.
Bridges, the owners. The plant
includes about 15 greenhouses,
stocked with some 60 to 75 thous
and orchids in varying stages of
growth.

home of the “earliest, largest and
most numerous settlements of
Highlanders in America” between
1729 and the Revolutionary War.
Their descendants and those of
Scotch settlers who came to other
states will be at Grandfather
Mountain August 19.
The Highlanders, only large
group of settlers who arrived in
North Carolina direct from their
native land, came first to the sea
port of Wilmington on the South
eastern Coast of North Carolina,
pushing up the Cape Fear Valley
to the Fayetteville (formerly
Campbelltown) area. Later, the
Cape Fear Valley families and
other North Carolinians of Scotch
descent found in the Blue Ridge
Mountains of Western North Car
olina a terrain similar to that
their forbears had known in Scot
land.
It was in the 1880’s that the
McRae family of Wilmington es
tablished the resort of Linville
and acquired ownership of rugged
5,964 - foot - high Grandfather
Mountain. LinviUe has added va
cationists from many states to its
original summer colony of Mc
Raes’ neighbors and kinsmen
from the Cape Fear region. One
of its chief attractions is an 18-
hole golf course designed by the
famous Scotch golf course archi
tect Donald Ross.
St. Andrews Societies of the
Southeast, Bums clubs and the
clans Donald, McLeod, Stewart
and Douglas are cooperating with
plans for the Grandfather Moun

ald, McLeod, Stewart, Douglas
and others of the Cape Fear Val
ley.
Scottish pipe bands from Wash
ington, D. C., Charleston, S. C.,
and Savannah, Ga., will attend.
Laurinburg will send its “Fighting
Scots” brass band and Scotland
County High School will send its

Coleman Reviews
Events Leading
To Suez Seizure
Arch Coleman, a professsional
lecturer who makes his home in
Southern Pines part of the year
told members of the Southern
Pines Lions Club last Friday that
the State Department had exer
cised real diplomacy in calling
Russia’s bluff about the construc
tion of the Aswan Dam in Egypt.
Failure of the United States or
Russia to provide funds—estima
ted in some quarters at close to
one billion dollars—to build the
dam has cause Premier Nasser to
seize control of the Suez Canal in
retaliation.
first-hand look at Egypt through
first-hand look at Sgypt through
visits there, said the history of
Egypt’s poverty goes back many
years. “There are 22 million peo
ple in Egypt,” he said, “and ap
proximately 75 per cent of them
are illiterate.
“Egypt needs desperately to
have more land in which its pop
ulation can carve out an exis
tence. The country is woefully
crowded.”
Big question right now, Cole
man pointed out, is a matter of
grave concern to the world; Is
Egypt with the East or West?
He traced briefly the steps that
led Premier Nasser into seizing
the Suez Canal, vital to world
shipping.
Egypt, he pointed out, could
conceivably become a fertile land
if the huge Aswan Dam were
built. Cost of such a project is'
prohibitive to the Egyptians, he
added, and Nasser and his associ
ates, since kicking Farouk from
power several years ago, have
been searching around for some
one to finance the project.
Both the East and the West,
consider Nasser a bad risk, pri
marily because of Egypt’s prob
able inability to repay any loan
and because Nasser has continued
to play one off against the other.
Coleman said that Russia offer
ed to build the dam, hoping, of
course, that the United States
would match the offer. It was
Russia’s intention of working the
proposition around to the point
where the United States, striving
to build allies in the Middle Ea^,
would also offer to build t^b
dam. The United States refused.
Russia, after learning that tlas
country would not back the con
struction under present condj-
tions, backed out.
Coleman hailed the State De
partment for its brillian strategy
in refusing to fall for Russia’S
bluff.
