DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
1 by ROBERT E. HARLOW,
The Pinehurst Press Bureau and The Pinehurst Outlook have
maintained with some vigor that the repeated substitution of Sand
hills in connection with events here, in preference to either Pine
hurst or Southern Pines, is not sound from the standpoint of adver
tising and publicity. This position was taken because for many years
the names Pinehurst and Southern Pines have been “built up” and
are well known by the reading and listening public.
Direct proof of subversion in connection with the identity of an
event to be held in this community appeared in a recent issue of the
New York World-Telegram. In a column on horses, Tom Reilly
writes:
“The big tracks are not alone in offering attractive maiden
steeplechase events this season . . . The first meeting of the year, at
Sand Hills, March 16, will see etc.”
Neither Pinehurst nor Southern Pines gets a call in this article.
It is obvious that the writer for the World-Telegram got hold
of an announcement of some sort which had Sandhills all over it,
to the extent that he got sand in his eyes, and wound up with Sand
Hills and no mention whatever of Pinehurst or Southern Pines —
and this is Southern Pines* year to be mentioned in steeplechase date
lines. '
This week’s issue of Editor and Publisher reports that writers,
wishing to reach 90 per cent of their readers, should use words which

Church Celebration.
SPONSOR WITHDRAWS
There will be no sunrise service
in the Sandhills on Easter Sunday
morning.
After giving the proposal much
thought a number of the clergy
men of the community met and

the Southern Pines Chamber,
meeting yesterday, voted to with
draw as sponsors of the service.
