To!. 164-M PLANTING DAY Community Celebrates Washington's Birthday at Enreka Farm JLIfe School the Scene of Unique Outdoor Festival Washington's Birthday was observed at Eureka as a Scotchman's holiday, which differs very materially from the ideal of a holiday held by. most other peoples of the world. When the Teuton takes a holiday he gathers his family about him and repairs to the beer garden, there to hold down a chair and several gallons of beer till the shades of night send him, with no certain step, to his bed. It would not be wise to state that the usual Scotchman's holi day is less abstemious than the Teuton's but the holiday the North Carolina Scots observed on Friday was certainly productive of results. When the first rays of the rising eun began to lighten the shades of the pine groves about the Farm Life School and the McConnell Hospital, there appeared in twos and threes, by auto, by foot, by mule cart, by ox cart, an army of holi day bent, backwoodsmen and farmers, armed with pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe, ready to make a Scotch holiday as was a Scotch holiday that is to put in a day's work on the grounds of their fast growing country school. Without comment they fell to on their allotted tasks, for the Manning brothers had laid out the day before what was to be done and soon stumps were coming out of the campus, roads were being grubbed, plowed and dressed up by a six-mule road grader. Ditches were being dug, filled with manure and planted with fruit, cedars, holly and pine. Flowerbeds were being prepared and planted by the girls and women. By noon an odor of victuals emanated from the hospitable kitchen and gently caressed the nostrils of the hard-working farmers, while many a belt was pulled up a hole and many a lingering glance was turned towards the school bell. At twelve it rang and soon the dining room was filled to overflowing and all feasted on such fare as only the girls of the Farm Life School can provide. The afternoon saw them all back at their tasks under the leadership of such stalwart workers as Warren Manning, John E. McQueen and Noah Deaton of Pickett's charge. It was a day of industry and accomplishment. Pinehurst was represented by Mrs. Jenks, Mrs. S. A. Tucker, Mrs. Joseph Choate and others. There were also many people from Southern Pines, Pine bluff, Carthage and Aberdeen, who ex pressed great interest in the gathering, the spirit of cooperation of the people, the excellence of the institutions. When the setting sun finally made work no longer possible, the workers looked over their day's labor and re flected with some inner content and sat isfaction that though their holiday had been a dry one and though it had en tailed many an ache in back and limb, they had at least accomplished some thing that was pleasing unto the eye the Lord, and that fills the heart of every Scotchman with a glow of content. TUB RED CROSS The attention of Red Cross volunteers is called to the addition to the schedule of working hours announced by the com mittee, and given in the official program at the head of the editorial page. The morning work from 10 to 12.30 con tinues at the Carolina every Tuesday and Friday as hitherto, and in addition continues throughout the afternoon Friday. The announcement cannot be made too often or too vigorously that all the ladies and girls in the town are not only welcome but expected to attend these working sessions. The work is progressing very cred itably. In addition to the shipments already made through the Sandhill Chapter, which we are told amounted to almost an entire carload, Pinehurst now has ready for delivery another box con taining 520 packages of 4x4 gauze wipes holding 1300 dressings, which will be en route by the time this is printed. The next task allotted is to make up a box of Pneumonia jackets. Meantime the women "of the section are demonstrating their devotion and their ability in providing the endless funds that are called for to keep mate rial on hand for the work. Last week the Costume Ball engineered by Mrs. C. E. Horton and patronized and conducted by the Cottage Colony and the guests at the hotels netted close to $400, which was divided between the Red Cross and the even more vital National Asset the Farm Life School. The Red Cross Meeting at the Metho dist Churst in Aberdeen Sunday, in which Captain J. H. Allen of the Canadian Army and Henry A. Page spoke upon as pects of the War, yielded $790 for the chapter.
