Tree Does The Twist
i
There are many things of interest this week at Boil
ing Spring Lakes, among them being a giant spring
that moves about; hundreds of helium-filled balloons
free for the kiddies; a chance to see Suzy-Q, a real
live elephant; and a view of this strange looking
pine tree. The best explanation heard thus far is
“now even the pine trees are doing the twist.”
Strange Pine Tree Attracts
Interest At Boiling Springs
By EUGENE FALLON
A trip to Boiling Spring Lakes
this week disclosed several odd
bits of news: a sea of emerald
grass expected soon on the fair
ways of the Boiling Spring Lakes
Golf Course; evidence of former
habitation on the grounds of
North Carolina’s newest city; and
a tree that resembles an inverted
question mark.
Hazard E. Reeves, Jr., sales
manager for the vast property,
said that “thousands of pounds of
seed grass have been, and are
being, sown on the fairways of
the new golf course.” Reeves
pointed out that the tees and
greens are next in line for sowing
with a Bermuda-type grass, and

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Washington, District of Columbia, is the seat of gov
ernment. The District covers about 70 square miles on the ;
northeast side of the Potomac River and is 38 miles south
west of Baltimore, Md. President George Washington was
authorized to select the site for the capital. In 1791, Major
Pierre Charles L Enfant, a French engineer, was employed
to draw up plans for the capitol city. This he did in such a
far-seeing way that Washington is today one of the most
beautiful cities in the world. Congress held its first session
in the new capitol in December, 1800. The' first President
to be inaugurated in Washington was Thomas Jefferson.
Today the 'ity covers the entire district, and is governed
by three commissioners who are appointed by the Presi
dent.

peted for play.”
He turned your scribe over to
Charles Tate, general manager
or the property.
Tate, usually quite reserved,
vas most enthusiastic over a re
lent discovery. It seems Guy
Schuler, a property-owner at Boil
ng Springs, while tidying a lot,
inearthed some old brick which
lad obviously been used for foun
lations to a long-vanished dwell
ng place; a hatful of Indian
irrowheads and, oddest of all,
ibout a dozen various-shaped
nedicinal containers (bottles) of
jfreat age. Tate said that the
abels “had long since crumbled
nto dust” but that the patent
nedicine bottles found proved to
>e “masterful false containers”.
Jne in particular, said the gen
ial manager, “had shoulders
iroader than Jack Dempsey’s, and
rad held not more than six
iunces of some cure-all.”
The discovery was in a differ
:nt section of the 16.000-acre de
velopment than the site of Alpine
tillage, a settlement which flour
shed before the Twentieth Cen
;ury came into being. The ruins
>f Old Alpine furnished material
:or a feature story which appear
ed in this paper last year.
The next source of information
turned out to be Arthur E. Hunt- \
ey, a part-time photographer and
issistant to Hal Reeves, and a
'ulltime fisherman and nature
over.
Huntley took us to see a cer
:ain tree—and it was quite a tree
it that. Even the trees at Boil
ng Spring Lakes are doing the
•wist these days. Take a look at
:he accompanying photo if you
lon’t believe it.
Huntley seemed slightly dis
ileased when confronted with an
nterview, but he revealed the fol
owing information.
The tree, a pine of the short
eaf variety, was about 21 inches
it bottom circumference; is lo
cated not far from Lake Buist,
>ne of the many natural bodies
sf water which dot the big de
velopment area, and had probably
>een turned into a bow by the
argest and mightiest redskin
runter who ever roamed this
ieautiful spot.
But one does not run into such
iddities of nature every day, and
[ was reluctant to move away
iom that unnatural tree hard by

It thickened about halfway up
ts length. A most perverse and
inusual arrangement in any tree,
thought shrewdly. Always be

Southport deefated Bolivia 8-7
here Thursday afternoon as fresh
man lefthander Rip Howard went
all the way to gain his second
win of the season.
The visitors came within one
run of tying it up in the top of
the seventh when they tallied two
runs, but the little lefty got out
of the jam.
Southport broke the ice with
one run in the first, added three
in the second and three more in
the fourth before tapering off
with a single marker in the bot
tom of the sixth.
Bolivia got in the scoring col
umn in the second with 1 run,
tallied three times in the fourth,
once in the sixth and pushed over
two in the seventh. Howard’s op

One of the feature attrac

Seaplane Overnight
Visitor Th jrsday
A light seaplane cut its motors
over Southport Thursday after
noon and glided down to the
Cape Fear River. It then taxied
to the yacht basin, where Joe
Taylor, 40, a Maine man, anchor
ed it for the night. He spent the
night in a local motel and took
off at 6 o’clock the next mor
ning on the next leg of his flight
north.
Taylor winters at West Palm
Beach, Fla., and was enroute to
his home at Kennebuck, Maine,
where he is engaged in the sar
3ine-fisheries business. Taylor
said that Southport reminded him
of towns along the New England
coast—with one big difference:
‘no rocks.”
Coroner Bennett
Cites Big Toll
Lists Victims Of Fatal High
way Accidents For This
Year, Giving Dates
Brunswick County Coroner
Lowell Bennett, taking note of
the two auto accidents which oc
curred separately in the county
Saturday night and claimed two
lives, expressed great concern
with the mounting death toll.
Bennett pointed out that “within
the first three months of this
year ten persons have lost their
lives on our roads in accidents
involving motor vehicles.” This is
two more than the number slain
all last year.
Bennett had the deadly statis
tics at his fingertips as he talk
ed. Broken down, here are the
names of the victims in the order
in which they met their death:
Ivan Long, January 6; Linda
3ray Gore, January 28; Willie
Brown, February 5; Christo
Nuguio, February 10; Bobbie Eu
gene Ward, March 2; Austin
Julius Marlowe, March 2; Alonzo
Gore, March 2; Ida Bennett Par
ker, March 8; Augustus Otto
Hewett, March 31, and Earl Mc
Coy Canady, March 31.
The county coroner added that
the “publication of the names of
these victims is distasteful to all
;oncerned" but said that he felt
such reminder “might cause peo
ple to exercise every care possi
ile while traveling the roads at
today s accelerated speeds, and
vhen our county roads are almost
30ns antly filled with a traffic
jnknown only a few years ago.”
DISEASE CONTROL
Tobacco farmers were urged by
V. S. Knowles “to keep a close
vatch on their tobacco plants
'or insect infiltration and to treat
same at first sign of trouble.”
rhose farmers who have not yet
begun blue mold treatment on
;heir tobacco are urged to do so
mmediately, since the weather is
tow favorable for the develop
nent and spread of this disease,
infected plants should receive
treatment at five-day intervals
'rom now until the crop is set
in the fields.
