HISTORICAL SOCIETY Continued From Page 1 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.” [ AH— h! comfort/ J ?

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. Watch A Gty Develop From Its Beginning!
