HISTORICAL SOCIETY

understanding of their heritage”,
Asbury said. “Parents can show
more interest, thereby setting the
example for their youngsters.”
Society members feel that it is
for people who run motels, res
taurants, service stations, etc., to
be acquainted with information
on the historic spots in order to
pass on this knowledge to inter
ested tourists. It is that they
know how to give proper direc
tion to the various locations, of
old houses, cemeteries, historical
sites. “Brunswick County has a
great potential as far' as tourist
trade, but thus far has remained
like the little turtle, who was
afraid to stick his neck out, never
got anywhere,” Asbury comment
ed.
Asbury, known to thousands as
the costumed guide at Brunswick
Town, stated that some 15,000
visitors have viewed the site last
year, and that over 1,000 have
visited there during the month of
July alone. Asbury also pointed
out that many Brunswick Coun
ty citizens are disgruntled about
the various advertising media
which are promoting Wilmington
and in doing so, including men
tion of spots in the Brunswick
County area, such as Brunswick 1
Town, Orton and Southport.
“These people are indignant
about' the type of promotional
work, but up until now have done
very little to promote their own i
county,” Asbury points out. “This
brings us to the present, at which j
time there is an agency, the
Brunswick County Historical So
ciety, is doing everything possi
ble to promote history in the
county. So, if Brunswick County
residents would like to identify
themselves with an active group
of historians and see that pro
motional work is done, now is the
time to join the Society. Stop
and re-evaluate your interest in
history. Then, support your local
Society. The group cordially ex
tends an invitation to every in
terested person to attend the!
next regular meeting to be held
on Monday night, August 13, at
8 o’clock at the Woodbum Pres-1
byterian Church, Leland.”

INTEREST " The center of interest for our entire development conti
nues to be the Big Boiling Spring, which the Me Bill Kezioh called
"Bouncing Log Spring." We have cleared out the area around the big
spring and have provided facilities and comforts for picnic parties.
Each weekend hundreds come here to enjoy the natural beauty, the
peace and quiet. They read the legend, but always they get back to
the days of Bill Keziah and his many stories about the famous "Bounc
ing Log Springe" if you haven't been out here lately, we invite you to
come see for yourself what we are talking about.
PICNIC AREA"“Sn the vicinity of the Fabulous Boiling Spring we have
cleared out and have beautified a picnic and recreation area that is
attracting large numbers of visitors. We have provided picnic tables,
and barbecue ovens are available for those who wish to cook out. Best
of all, however, is the opportunity to have a bountiful supply of cool,
pure water for drinking or for cooking. This comes from the Big Spring,
whose reputation goes back to the days when Indians inhabited this
region. If you hove not made use of these facilities, you are invited to
do so.
BHiNG YOUR FRIENDS^We are proud of Boiling Spring Lakes, and
we want others to see what we are doing. When you have visitors
from other sections of the State, we invite you to take them for a drive
over our winding roads and across the big dam. Visit the Big Spring. We
think that this may be a highlight of a visit to Brunswick County this
summer. Let's let the world know what is going on here in Brunswick
County.
LAKES The original ideal for development of this area for new
homes came from discovery of the many natural lakes that dot the
landscape. Once the project got underway, it became obvious that
these beautiful freshwater bodies of wafer provided our greatest nat
ural attraction. Soon plans were made to add man-made lakes, and
this has been done. They not only afford beauty, but they provide faci
lities for boating, miter skiing and for some of the best freshwater fish
ing to be found anywhere.
