put on a Southern Pines show
this year. The event proved a
big success;
Discussion then followed us to
the holding of a Sandhill show,
and it was decided that it would
be better to forget about a
Sandhill event, and for Pihe
hurst to continue the * show
wh\ch this season will be the
twenty-third annual.

DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
1 by ROBERT E. HARLOW
*
Donald J*. Ross has made the very excellent suggestion that
hereafter when this section of the country is being written. about
or talked about that it should be designated* as the PINELANDS.
He suggests that when, events are definitely associated with
any one of the units of the community that they should be given
the name of that unit, such as Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Pine
Needles, Mid Pines, but that in events in which two or more of
the units are interested that the name Pinelands wopld be most
appropriate. f
The Outlook has considered the word Sandhills as Bad pub
licity, and advised against the use of it, and has favored evetits
being called after the place most involved.
But there are numerous events and activities in which more
can be gained when th§ best effort of the entire community is
put behind them, and in such cases the use of the name Pinelands
would be just the right word for it.- 'Such enterprises, would in
clude a building in which such an event as the Moore County high
school basketball championships could be played. These' garpes
were a real sporting treat and would have entertained our guests
as well as the natives, had there been proper seating arrangements.
Basketball is a thrilling sport, and draws packed honses to
Madison Square Garden in New York,
