Lawson,.for whom the Chapel Hill Country Club’s golf course has been named, is shown in a practice session with his daugh ter, Mrs. Julius A. Page Jr., who was Women’s Amateur National Golf Champion in 1937. Country Club Golf Course Named for Dr. R. B. Lawson By Joe Jones The Chapel Hill Country Club announced yesterday that it had named its golf course for Dr. Robert B. Lawson, the man who built the original course and was its guiding spirit for many years till shortly before his death in 1952 at the age of 77. The nine hole layout, which had been closed for several years, has now been rebuilt and will reopen this spring as the Robert Baker Law son Golf Course. it was 26 years ago that Dr. Lawson came home one day from his work at the University and said to his daughter, Estelle, “Throw away your tennis racket. We’re going to play golf. They’re asked me to take charge at the Country Club.” *At that time Estelle, a Uni- Former School Superintendent Retires j Allison W. Honeycutt, former superintendent of the Chapel Hill i schools, retired yesterday as chief of the State Agency for Surplus Property at Raleigh. The News and Observer, re porting Mr. Honeycutt's retire ment, said of him in the Sunday ■ edition: | “Allison W. Honeycutt, North i Carolina’s Santa Claus of Sur plus, will retire tomorrow as chief of the State Agency for Surplus Property. He has headed the agency since it was estab lished nearly 12 years ago and < has supervised the distirbution |of millions of dollars worth of surplus federal property to schools, institutions and hospitals. “Honeycutt, a 74-year-old for mer school teacher, was born in Yancey County July If, 1882. He attended Mars Hill College but | look his degree from Wake For est College. He was graduated j there in 1902. “Nearly 40 years later, he re turned to school as a student and took a master’s degree from the University of North Caro lina. * “During the interval between degrees, he was teacher, principal and superintendent of schools at Hendersonville, at Lexington and at Chapel Hill. While at Chapel Hill, he was superintendent of the town schools and administra tor of student teaching for the 1 University. “He helped set up the State Agency for Surplus Property in 1945 as a representative of the U. S. Office of Education and in 1946 became the agency’s first ‘head. The name of the agency Is slightly misleading in that it handles surplus federal property, not State property.

A fewi i years later, under the pain&tak i ing supervision of Dr. Lawson, the course was a regulation nine ( hole affair known for its superb ■ greens and challenging fairways, i and Estelle had won the. Women’s ■ National Amateur Championship. Her father was the only golf ■coach she ever had. i For about twenty years Dr. i Lawson and his daughter oper , sted the Country Club links when ■ it was Chapel Hill’s only golf ‘ course, it was*a labor of love. : They did it without pay. Their one helper was Isaac Geer, the - gigantic and faithful Negro la , form or other by nearly every public school system and non profit hospital, college and in stitution in the State. “Honeycutt is carried on the State payroll as deputy director of the Division of Purchase and Contract, hut he has his own offices and staff, in a collection of buildings on East Lenoir street in southeast Raleigh. Mrs. Hon eycutt is the former Mable Wil 'aon of DeLand, Fla. They have two sons—Wilson, with the Vet erans Administration Hospital staff in Durham, and Murray, with General Electric in Cleve land, O.” I > Building and Loan Growth Continues At the meeting of the directors of the Orange County Building and Loan Association last Friday 1 night Executive Officer W. O. Sparrow reported assets of $3,- ' 956,916, an icrcase of -$95,548 in lh* last month; deposits of $3,-1 724,012 (increase, $97,618); and loans of $3,596,440 (increase, £38,511). In the six years since the association left its quarters , in the Bunk of Chapel Hill to go , to new quarters on West Frank-' lin street its assets have in ’ creased eight fold, from half a million to approximately four million dollars.

Mr. Roach, who had been on the sUff of the Publk Health office here, has concert) la TUESDAY ISSUE Next Ensue Friday borer who kept the fairways and gre«nj^jj-»Tjod amfif trimmed dur ing all those years and who said* he would continue there as long as the Lawsons were in charge. Dr. Lawson made a special i study of the proper care of golf greens, and this paid off for Chapel Hill golfers in the form of nine of the smoothest greens in North Carolina. With only Isaac to help him and with sparse funds, the fairways he built couldn't equal those on finer courses but they were a monu ment to his loyalty and hard work. Dr. Lawson and Estelle, who became Mrs. Julius A. Page Jr. soon after her graduation from the University, operated a strict golf course. Although it was | open to the public, club members were given preference over others, i and everybody on the course ob j served proper golf etiquette. Players who liked to barge through without permission or • who deliberately held up faster players were politely but firmly , reprimanded. If they persisted . in their bad manners they were I likely to be banned from the j course. This type of operation t made the Country Club links an ideal place for golfers who liked . to play in a pleasant and civilized . atmosphere, and especially for , members of the club, whose Jn . terests were always first and I foremost with Dr. Lawson. Peo- Iple who have played on hap hazardly run courses know what a boon this kind of regulation was. Dr. Lawson not only made the course a happy place for club members and other players who 1 behaved properly, but he made it pay off. At the end of his stew ’ ardship he turned over an ac cumulated SIO,OOO to the club, although golf members paid an nual dues of only about $32 and the greens fee for non-members was only fifty cents. J A fine athlete in his youth, Dr. Lawson was the greatest | baseball pitcher in the history of ! the University. He pitched 35 , games for the Tar Heels and lost only one. During his three years on the teum his batting average was .418, .426, and .448. He also ! played three years of football as a quarterback. Later, a# •cT member of the faculty, he dou bled as football coach. When he took up golf, comparatively late I in life, he played in many tour > naments, especially at Pinehurst, , where he won the Southern Sen i iors Championship (for men over I 60).
