Second Annual Highlands Playday
Draws Crowd ot Interested Spectators
The second , annual Highlands
l'layday, on August 19, was at least
double the success in every way
that it was last year, with a great
many entries in the events of the
day and a crowd of interested spec
tators, who followed the happenings
around town from 10 in the morn
irig to -11 that night.
Elmer McDowell, as king for the
day, Doris Potts, as queen and their
attendants, Maxine Talley, Isaibel
Hall and Harry Holt, Jr., led the
starting pet parade. Dressed in cos
tumes of black, white and green,
the official Playday colors, they ap
pcarcd in an open car Loaned for
the occasion by Sam Beaty, and
greeted their subjects. With a
riiythm band from Camp Trillium
the pet parade wended its way
through town, loud with the barks
of dogs, the quacks of ducks and
the sequals of delight of the spec
tators over the various animals i his
contest was won by Virginia Mae
Edwards, with a black. dog; Jean
Keener, who entered a large white
duck with a bright green ribbon
around its neck; and Jessie Keener,
who -had twin Chow puppies.
There followed the baby contest,
with the judges shaking their heads
over the difficulty of making a de
cision. Fnally the prizes for three
age groups were given, respectively,
to Nancy Jane Norton, Jack Mar
vin Beaty aind Pollyann Diffen
bach. On the porch of Highlands Inn
the doll exhibit and the flower show
attracted many people. All of the
home-dressed dolls showed original
ity and industry, with prizes going
to Judge . Thompson ' and Virginia
Mae Edwards'. In the flower show
first prize for speciman and ar
rangement went to Mrs. Clarence
Mitchell; for dahlias to Mrs. Jessie
Moreland; and for wild flower ar
rangement to Miss Frost.
The wagon race took eager en
trants from Anderson's drug store
to Zoellner s garage, with Arthur
Seaver and Buddy Thompson in
first and second place, Herbert
Paul in third.
The music contest in the after
noon attracted a large audience
and gave almost two hours of va
ried musical entertainment. The
town people of Highlands were
pleased and somewhat .surprised to
discover so much local talent, both
vocal and instrumental, and made a
vow to make more use of it in the
future. The mountain music division
of the contest was won by two Wil
son boys and Hunter Young, play
ing guitars and singing ' "What
Would You Give for the Price of
Your Soul." Instrumental music was
won by Ann Hetzel who played a
piano solo and the vocal music was
,won by Betty Nolhman, who gave
an unaccompanied dramatic solo. In
connection with the music contest
it should be noted that Mrs. Holt
played a "Highlands March" which
she composed several years ago
and which everyone considered to
be' an exceptionally excellent piece
of original music which the town '
hopes to hear often in, the future.
Following the music contest Dr,
T. J. O'Neil officiated at a grabbag
auction sponsored by the Funmak
ers, with a good deal of humorous
comment on girls ibidding high on
tie pins and men getting paper 'fans.
The evening was occupied with a
street dance, a fortune teller and
food booths sponsored by the Pio
neer Christian Endeavor and the
B. Y. P. U. There were prizes for
the best couple dancing in each of
four sets, and excellent music by
the players who were under the
direction' of Henry Zoellner. The
musicians played so long and so
well that the Funmakers feel they
are 'due a special note of apprecia
tion. To the summer visitors who were
judges for the various events the
Funmakers also feel especially grate
ful. In every contest they had a
difficult decision to make and : it
was generous of them to give their
time and judgment so willingly. 1
The money which the Funmakers
made, during Playday far exceeded
their profits from last year and will
be used during the coming year for
play manuscripts, a costume box
and other details which the club to
date has been unable to finance.
The stores doing a rush business
all day, decorated gayly x in the
'. ' 'I ' ' . .''.
Playday colors, with , children and
adults full of the spirit of fun and
friendliness air day and able to see
the pleasing fruits of their labors
for the day, with so many recipi
ents of the prizes which trades
people had . so generously donated,
and with weather that smiled on
Highlands all day, there seemed
nothing . lacking in anyone's pleas
ure when the lights finally went
out on the street dance and a tired
but very happy town went to bed.

ANNUAL MEETING HELD
AT LABORATORY
The annual meeting of the High
lands Museum and Biological Lab
oratory, was held last Saturday
afternoon at the laboratory. A good
number, of people were present to
hear the reports of the secretary,
treasurer, the president, and the di
rectors. The secretary read the min
utes of the previous meeting ; the
treasurer reported the receipt of
$500 this year, $300 for the building
fund and $200 in memberships and
donations,' which was'also reported
by the membership committee. Miss
Mary J. Crosby was elected a trus-
.tee ,to fill a vacancy. Dr.
Coker
8v an 'interesting report of the
laboflratory work. He said that more
work was being accomplished this
summer at the laboratory than ever
before. Five scholarships to the lab
oratory were given this yeari two
from the University of North Car
olina, twof from Vanderbilt Uni
versity, and one from Duke. Other
scientists ' have carried on their
work on ferns, fungi, salamanders,
etc. '
The diictor of the Museum, Dr.
Wheeler, ' gave his usual imteres,ting
and enthusiastic report of the work
and program of the Museum, which
is" the "popular . expression . of the
biological laboratory, one of( the
few inland biological stations in the
United States." During the summer
It-he museum offers many attrac
innt " tif1it.1irior pvnircinns anrl PX-
peditioris to points of interest amd
;also arrang.es a series? of lectures
on popular, subjects.
Plans were discussed for a new
museum building to be erected on
.Main street between the Blanchard
and Piersfon properties. This land
is now owned by the laboratory
and extends from the Main street
back to Lindewood Lake.
Plans, for the building were shown
by the architects and described by
the director. The .ibuilding will con
sist of three unfits, the .first of
which is; under consideration at the
present time. This is the central
ariit in which will be designed to
the main exhibition interests. .The
cither units will house special ex
hibiWi systematic collections, a
scientific laboratory, and work
shops) an auditorium, class rooms,
library, and administrative offices.
Tin building will be constructed of
native stone and probably chestnut.
It will be a two story building, one
of which will be fire-proof to house
museum specimens
Dr. Wheeler says, that one of the
features of the exhibition hall will
be the installation of a large for
est conifer, in whose branches, ex
tending into the roof of the build
ing, "will be mounted the nesting
birds of the region. These will be
easily .seen and studied from a
balcony extending around the hall,
Another feature which will be in
teresting, instructive, and beautiful,
is the development of a topographic
garden, reproducing to scale a con
siderable part of the mountain ter
ritory, surrounding Highlands. In,
this miniature arboretum will be
grown the significant shrubs and
herbaceous plants of the niountains.
Many other features.are being plan
ned for future development at the
new building.
The museum and laboratory is a
large part of the summer attrac
tion to Highlands and as such means
a great deal to the town. In educat-
mg our people its value cannot De
counted. This project needs the
support of all who are interested in
Highlands. It will be necessary to
raise $5,000 for the building, and
the WPA will suppliment this with
sufficient funds to carry out the
building of the first unit.
Contributions may be made to
Miss Marguerite Ravenel and will
be gratefully, received and appre
ciated by all who are connected
with this important work.
Following the meeting refresh
ments were served in Rhodendron
Park with Mrs. Coker and Miss
Marguerite Ravenel as hostesses.

Large Hospital
(Continued From Page One)
time to the hospital and .1 anticipate
that there will be a great develop
ment in the missionary activity and
in the efficiency of the various de
partments. I expect to see the hos
pital put upon an efficient basis
with technicians who will make the
work as definite and as sure as can
be done in these modern times.
Naturally the financial ability of a
missionary enterprise is limited, but
within these limts'I feel sure that
the personal devotion which this
man manifests toward his profes
sion and
his fellow men. in caring
for the sick and suffering, in in-
structing. tne nurses and in inter
preting the healing of Christ to
mankind, will give' St. Luke's Hos
pital an ever broadening and deep
ening influence among the people
of the .southern side of Puerto
Rico."

Pure Bred Rooster
Can Improve Flock
-. Farmers who produce their own
hatching eggs will find that a good,
pure bred rooster is worth much
more than he costs, according to
C. J. Maupin, extension poultry
specialist at State college. v
Good qualities such as heavy pro
duction, laying large eggs, rapid
growth, and bodily vigor are . in
heritable, he explainedand it pays
to .use a rooster of good breeding
that can transmit these qualities to
his offspring.
He also recommended that grow
ers breed their males only to their
best hens.
