Local Players Have Had

CONNECTED WITH
PARK PROJECT
Materials Used Were Chosen
With View Of Their
Remaining In Good
Condition For Several
Years To
Come
Southport residents have been
playifig on the new tennis courts
for some weeks, and their efforts
have done much to put the courts
in good playing condition.
The tennis courts are a part
of the recreation and park project
being carried on here by the
Works Progress Administration.
They have been designed and
constructed scientifically so that
they will last for many years. [
Wood was used in the building
of the back-stops since even the
most heavily galvanized iron
rusts in Southport's sea air. Cedar
saw-dust has been packed
around the base of the back-;
stops to prevent the wood from
rotting.
The courts are a part of the
WPA project which includes the |
beautification of Franklin Square
and the building of the new com-1
munity center. Work has been
moving forward rapidly on the j
completion of the project?The
tennis courts from the east end
of the park, with the new community
building and Franklin
Square to the west. Work is expected
to resume on the com-1
munity building sometime in the
near future.

SOUTHPORT MEN
EFFECT RESCUE
A daring rescue of the fishing
boat Aita I) and her party
of seven was effected Sunday
night off Wrightsville
Beach by Captain William
Wells and his brother, Charles
of Southport.
About 5 o'clock in the afternoon
the pleasure craft lost
her anchor while out at the
fishing grounds. Returning to
shore, the boat lost her rudder
as she reached the bar.
Captain Frank Brown attempted
to steer with an oar, only
to have his craft climax her
misfortune by losing her propellor.
Distress signals attracted
the attention of people on the
beach and the Southport men
set out after dark in their
boat, the Summer Girl, and
succeeded in towing the helpless
boat into dock. The rescue,
completed at ,8:80 o'clock,
drew warm praise from residents
of the beach.

Annual 1
The beautiful blue-hulled
schooner, The Indra, a veritable
prep school afloat,
made her annual visit to
Southport Friday on her way
North. Last year the boat
remained over here for about
10 days.
Aboard her were the skipper
and his wife, Mr. and
Mrs. William McD. Pond, and
ten students, who are learning
the art and thrill of sailing
while the rudiments of
elementary education are being
instilled in their minds.
Tied up at the Wells dock,
the craft, which is 72 feet
long with a beam of fifteen
feet and a draught of eleven
feet, presented a neat picture.
Her white sails furled and an
awning stretched over the
after deck, she drew the admiration
of spectators.
For three years the Indra
has been the floating home
of the skipper and his wife
and the location of the Pond
School of Cambridge.
Until 1934 Pond and his
wife conducted the exclusive
