RAVENEL LAKE DAM COMPLETED The rebuilding of Ravenel Lake dam was completed last Friday and the lake is gradually filling to nor mal proportions. It is approximate ly 20 feet high with a span of one hundred and fifty feet. It is of earth and rock and is patterned after the big Gleiwille dam. It measures 81 feet at the base witfh a 15 foot walkway across the top, furnishing an easy entrance to the biological laboratory from Chestnut street. The lake, which covers ap proximately eight acres, is the property of the Highlands Museum and Biological Laboratory and the rebuilding of the dam was made possible through gifts to the Lab oratory. Ravenel lake is one of the most picturesque lakes in this section. Its refilling will restore to Linden wood park much of the beauty that was last - when the summer floods of 1940 washed tlhe old dam out.

Friends of Miss Marguerite Rav enel will be interested to know that she has been spending some time in Atlantic City, convalescing from her receret illness in a rnita C. F. Redden Man Of VisioiT Had Faith In This Section Some random notes from the life and business accomplishments of Charles Frazier Redden, who died in Atlanta on March 7, and who spent the greater part of his time at his Highlands home during his last years, make interesting read ing as marking the successful ca reer of a man of vision. As a boy living in a small Mich igan) town one episode typifies his adventurous spirit. He ran away from home with a boy friend to Chicago, and then persuaded his father to let him remain there in the employ of the Marshall Field stores, where he stuck at the job for several years. He then launched forth in the newspaper field, selling advertis ing in San Francisco, and was later with the old Baltimore Her ald. There followed a highly suc cessful period of adventure in the new and untried field of creative and promotional advertising for automobde manufacturers, notably building up sales organization for such important producers of high price cars as Packard, Pierce and Locomobile, and later as sales manager of the Maxwell. Motor company. His sales results were judged to be due to his exception al energy, enthusiasm and confi dence, which he passed on to oth ers, combined with art imaginative daring to accomplish the untried. Pioneer P&Menger Air Service Perhaps his outstanding ability lay irs getting publicity for new en terprises which he promoted and had faith in. After the World War he launched into the major effort of his life, the successful promo tion of a commercial air line serv ice between Key West and Ha vana the first regular air service in this country and first interna tional carrier of government con tract air mail. Later this was ex tended to Miami-Nassau and Detroit-Cleveland services. A record of passenger miles flown withoa accident was established for that period, which was one of public dis trust of flying, in spite of which the Airways operations were kept in the black, and continued until the equipment could not be suitably replaced. Retort Prcmctkm Another marvel of publicity which created and promoted the exclu sive and fasshioniaible winter resort of Sea Island off the Georgia coast near Brunswick is the credit of Frazier Redden. In this venture the publicity was largely attained by making "friends" and enthu siasts of those who came there, who went away so delighted that they came back and brought oth ers. Through cultivation of these contacts homes wre built, hotels built and filled to overflowing so that rates skyrocketed from $8.00 to $20.00 per day. This was ac complished with no great expendi- delphia hospital. Mrs. C. C. Potts returned Friday from a three weeks' visit in Mi ami, Fla., with her son R. L. Potts, and with friends in South Florida. She was accompanied home by R. L., Miss Mary Lou Walker, Mrs. Phyllis Knuth and son Bob by Knuth, who came up for the Easter holidays. Other Easter guests at the Potts House were Mrs. H. Clay Moore, Miss Louise Cramer, Miss Rosalie Howell, and Mr. and Mrs. Prager of Atlanta Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Osmar of San Antonia, Teras, are spending some time at the Potts House. Chief of Police Ed Rogers, is expected to return home this week from Angel's hospital where he has been a patier.it for two week. Miss Anna Lee Mashburn, High lands high school student, spent Easter weekend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Mashburn, at Gneiss. Mrs. Sidney McCarty, Jr., and two children, Sidney IU and Mary Lou, have returned from a visit with Rev. and Mrs. S. L. McCarty in Orlando, Fla. Mrs. W. W.

Barak Wright, at rig His four-year average is 89 per Wilson and of the late Charles ture for paid advertising. Mr. Redden's coming to High lands was prompted by the same appreciation and enthusiasm in re gard to the natural and other ad vantages of this section. In his tnind there existed in this resort town which he chose for his home, natural advantages for enjoyable living during much of the year which were far greater than those offered by such seashore places as Sea Island. Here were no mos quitoes or other disadvantages to overcome. He believed that people of discrimination all over the coun try were looking for such a place as exists here. He believed that much growth and progress might be accomplished to the best pos sible benefit of all living and work ing here with the proper direction and with relatively little cast. The "making friends and telling others" method if pursued by those al ready converted to the good life offered here, he was convinced would bring abundant results. Gneiss By MRS. F. E.
