D. little Speaks to Lions W. D. Little of Fair Bluff was the speaker at the bi-monthly Pinehurst Lions Club meeting, held last Wednesday evening at Laverne’s Grill. The speaker is a representative of District 31-F, of which the lo cal club is a part, with the Eye Bank Commission headquarters in Winston-Salem. He told the group procedures for willing their eyes to the Commission. Holly Sunuftets An article in the Cracker Barrel of May 9 reminded us that this is actually not the first year the Holly Inn has been open all sum mer. It was, as the Barrel pointed out, open to officers and their families during World War II and also, as a research center. How could we have forgotten those two summers when old friends turned up at Bragg Camp Mackall, almost invariably in the enlisted ranks, thereby au tomatically making the Holly off- limits to them, and to us when with them—so if we dined out, we dined out at restaurants, feel ing bitterly discriminated against. The first “beatnik-types” we ever saw were the Conscientious Objectors who spent a summer at the Holly as voluntary guinea pigs in an experimental project to discover the cause and possible cure of atypical pneumonia. These bearded CD’s spent weeks in isolation in their rooms and were often seen perched on the roof outside their windows. They tied the hotel switchboard up in knots for hours on end, playing chess by telephone (a game many learned in jail where they were first placed because the government was at a loss what to do with them). They even got out TOY BAND— Students of Mrs. Robert H. Barrett’s Wee School are all members of the Toy Band which played at the closing perform ance of the school year Tuesday.

We also notice from one of the Pine hurst Playhouse programs that Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis, whom he married and subse quently divorced, presented the Denishawn Dancers in February of 1929—at the Pinehurst Thea tre. The remarkable pair (in her 80’s now, St. Denis still occasion ally dances) began, not only the Festival that yearly attracts in ternational dance notables as stars, but, of even greater import ance, they founded the university at Lee where a distinguished staff of teachers trains pupils in the art of modern and classic dance. The Week It Snowed Three years earlier, in ’26, Gloria Swanson, the same play bill reminded us, attended theatre performances while here for the filming of a movie made near the village. We happened to be at The Car olina at the same time with our family, and while we remember nothing as we were somewhat young, we did hear that a gay time was had by the star and her crew The picture-taking was held up by one of those rare Pinehurst freaks of nature—a snow storm, but while the storm raged with out, the social life was fairly hec tic within the hotel and in the village, as the movie queen was feted. She was accompanied by her then husband, the Marquis de la Falaise—^he threatened to stay in their New York apartment but she prevented that by locking all his evening clothes in her trunk —so with typical French philoso phy, he decided to go along to Pinehurst since he couldn’t go out on the town of New York sans evening attire. The snow remained on the ground for over a week and the movie company, in despair, with costs soaring like those of “Cleo patra” now sending directors into frenzies in Rome, fiijally called out the Pinehurst Fire Depart ment. The offending snow was cleared with fire hoses off a portion of the proposed site of the filming and the crew loaded saddles for the riding scenes onto trunks, took them to the cleared area, and were able to “fake” some scenes with closeups of the stars. Rites Held for Eugene McKenzie Eugene McKenzie, 73, of Pine hurst, died Saturday. Funeral services were held Monday at Culdee Presbyterian Church by the Rev. R. L. Prince. Burial was in the church cemetery. Surviving are his wife, the for mer Dorothy Myers; one daugh ter, Mrs. Dorothy Bondanella of Greensboro; one son, Eugene K. McKenzie of Southern Pines; five grandchildren; three sisters, Mrs. Ernest Ledbetter, Mrs. James Du pree and Miss Bethel McKenzie; and one brother, John K. McKen zie, all of West End. LEASE COTTAGES The Richard S. Taylors and their seven-year-old daughter, Susan, who have been living in the Wellesley Apartments here since late March, will move June 1 into the Sally cottage on Short Road. Mr. Taylor came here to take over the associate editorship of Golf World after Eddie Ervin left that position for the job of public information manager of the USGA in New York. The Taylors came from West Palm Beach where he was golf writer for the Palm Beach Post-Times. Mr. and Mrs. George Pearson and small son who have been oc cupying the Lloyd Smith apart ment, have leased the Sally cot tage on Orange Road where they plan to move June 1. Both rentals were arranged by the Col. George P. Hawes Agen cy. Legion Auxiliary Plans Meet with Legionnaires Meeting Wednesday night at the Legion Hut, the American Legion Auxiliary, with President Mrs. George Hunt presiding, made plans for a joint dinner and in stallation of officers meeting with the Legionnaries May 24. Two members of the newly or ganized West End Legion Auxili ary, Mrs. Helen Graham and Mrs. Lula Black, attended this meet ing, which was opened and closed with prayer by Chaplain Mrs. Ralph Horner. The treasurer reported an ex cellent local sale of poppies on Poppy Day, April 21, in Pinehurst. After adjournment, freshments were enjoyed by the group. HOLE-IN-ONE Scoring the third hole-in-one of the season for women golfers on May 9 was Mrs. Arthur M. Ahrens of Garden City, Long Island, who used a three-iron to send the ball into the cup on the seventh hole of Number One Course at the Pinehurst Country Club. She is a member of the Salisbury Women’s Golf Club. Her feat was witnessed by her husband and Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Freireich of Malverne, N. Y., all Holly Inn guests.
