THE
8-PAGES TO
Champion Wood
Compete With
Peter McLaren, Native Of
Australia, Will Compete
In Wood Chopping Contest
At CCC Camp Monday,
September 9th
Peter McLaren, who claims the
wood chopping championship of
America, will stage a log cutting
contest and demonstration at the
local CCC camp Monday afternoon,
September 9, at 5 o'clock.
This contest has been arranged
by Zack M. Williams, educational
director of the camp, who is to
be congratulated for arranging
for the visit of this colorful
champion, McLaren, whose wizardy
with an axe has carried
him from a poor farm lad in
Australia, to the peak of his
profession.
In chopping tours covering a
score of years he has chopped before
hundreds of thousands, both
here and abroad. McLaren, who
is nearly 50 years old, claims
that outdoor chopping is a great
physical developer. His own condition
bears out this claim.
The contest is open to any local
man who has not previously
competed against McLaren. A
prize of fifty dollars will be paid
to any contestant if McLaren
fails to chop through a log in
two thirds of the time the contestant
takes.
The handicap gives all good
choppers a sporting chance to win
the prize money, as it is just
like giving 33 yards in a hundred
vard dash.

Lecturer To Be
Here In October
Illustrated Lecture Giving
True Facts About Waterfowl
Situation To Be Delivered
Here October 12
Arrangements have been completed
by Miss Annie May Woodside
for an illustrated lecture on
the waterfowl situation in the
United States to be delivered here
in the Southport high school auditorium
at 8 o'clock on the night
of October 12.
This lecture will be delivered
by Dr. Henry C. Oberholser, ornithologist,
who has been in the
service of the government for the
past 30 years and is probably the
best posted man in the countrj
on the true status of the waterfowl.
His illustration will include
motion pictures and slides made
throughout the United States and
Canada.
The lecture here by the bird
specialist will be of particular interest
to local people who are
interested in waterfowl in this
section. Already plans are being
made to have Dr. Oberholser visit
Battery Island to study the
birds that make their homes
there.

Plans call for the construction
of a log hut that would be suitable
as a meeting place for the1
various clubs and organizations

which to hold a dance. The build-1
ing would face the park and j
would have a 12-foot porch across i

Should the project be approved, |
Franklin Square with its many'
beautiful live oaks would be ,
transformed into a veritable garden

building of winding walks, flowing

many flowers and shrubs, including
Azalea.
