VASS. N. C. FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1925 STACY WADE TALKS TO THE KIWiUOANS Tells of Insurance and Build ing and Loan Work At the Kiwanis dinner at Pinefaurst Country Club Wednesday, Stacy Wade, State Insurance Commissioner, who is at Pinehurst at the convention of Insurance people, made a short address. He spoke of the work the club is doing in building and loan work and told the gathering that North Carolina is among the leaders in the increase of building and loan investment. Between 1922 and 1923 the state institutions increased their assets over $11,000,000. and the rate of increase still continues. Mr. Wade also noted the great work done in fire- prevention, in which the state also heads the list. By teaching fire pre vention in schools and talking it everywhere the fire losses in resi dences have been reduced to seven per cent of the total loses. He made the folks feel pretty chesty over the records North Carolia is piling up in these important departments. The club stirres up more enthusiasm over building and loan, and will offer prizes to the boys and girls making the best showing at the end of the year. Sherwood Brockwell, fire-fighter, vaudeville artist, lecturer, minstrel, side kick to Wade, and a lot of other things, told a bunch of darkey stories, and if he had been at the Southern Pines show Monday he could have had an engagement. Brockwell is in the same class with our own burnt cork artist, Toby Johnson, and that is saying a mighty big word. Max Gishchner of Baltimore, also said a few words and brought some laughs and applause. He is one of the old time North Carolinians who never lived here, but put in much of his time all over the state. He knew the fathers and grandfathers of the folks at the club, and has had three genera tions of friends in the Sandhills. Gichner says in Calcutta, in India, he fell in with a man who knew North Carolina by hearing of it for North Carolina the man said, “is in Pine hurst, the great golf country of the world.” Max is strong on North Carolina, and in the next forty years he hopes to come here as much as in the past. The ball game was postponed on account of rain, but the threats to play the game in the course of time are many. DENTAL CLINIC Financial Statement of Dental Clinic for Moore County For six weeks of the clinic all ex penses were paid by the State Board of Health, as every county in the (Continued on page 8) SUBSCRIPTION 12.00 ft li- ilieS vi r NEW CITIZENS BANK C®, TRUST BUILDING SOUTHERN PINES, N. C. The Pilot has already described the new bank building soon to start n the lot the Page Trust company bought from Mr. Perkins at Southern Pines. The picture shown here tells the story more fully than words can. Jackman has secured the one entire side for his lunch establishment, and about all the basement, and it goes without much de bate that he will have one of the most inter esting eating places in any small town in the South. Not many resturants have their building designed by Aymar Embury, with flowers in the park in front and classic lines of architecture all around. An Embury bank building is equally novel in modem construction. But the dream has been to get an Embury building on the busi ness street of Southern Pines, and the Page Trust company will have the work in prog ress as soon as the plans are finished. They are expected any day. Other towns or cities in North Carolina have more expensive banking houses than Moore county, but none has two more at tractive banking buildings than this one and the home of Bank of Pinehurst, over at Pinehurst. This pair are examples of build ing and of skilled architectural design and construction. SOUTHERN PINES PUSHES EASTWARD Water Line Extended to Old Duncan Shaw Farm House Could the old settlers witness the continuous miracle that is constantly progressing in the Sandhills they would be interested as completely as they would be astonished. The Dun can Shaw home of the older days is a mile and a half from the railroad station at Southern Pines, but a six inch pipe line has been extended out toward the old farm to within two or three thousand feet of the place, and a two-inch line will in a few days deliver the water to its door, and to all the other houses between. When the water is turned into the mains from the new plant of Mill creek the Shaw farm and all the intervening ter ritory will have access to the supply from nearly five miles away, carried over two high hills, and discharged into a stream beyond the second water shed. Ducan Shaw would have mar veled if he could have slipped to the spigot in his house and drawn water from the springs of Mill creek any day or hour. But that is what is about to take place in his house, and in all the other houses that have been built on his old farm. He had more or less trouble in finding a large sup ply, but he never thought of going to Mill creek five miles away and over two high ridges for his ^vater sources, and he never dreamed that when water came to his house it would come with all the force of the tank on the summit above Southern Pines. Weymouth Heights is spreading out (Continued on page 8) CONNENCENENT OF PINEHURST SCHOOLS Baccalaureate Sermon Will be Preached Sunday Morning The Commencement Exercises of the Pinehurst Schools began last Tuesday evening with a play by the Senior Class.

Cockman will open Lakeview for the summer under most favorable circumstances. The build ing work of last sunmier has put the resort in more complete shape, and the new management has secured capable and experienced help to carry on. The Hotel will be in the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Lingle, hotel folks of experience, and the dining room will be operated by E. L. Ramsey and A. B. Lingle, who run a chain of resturants through the state at places like Greensboro, Salisbury, Sanford, etc. Barbecues and Brunswick Stew will be a constant feature of the bill of fare, while at the resturant at the pavilion lunches, fruit, beverages and kindred things will be sold at all times. The dining hall will be open at the hotel until 1 o’clock, A. M. every night. On Tuesday and Saturday nights dancing will be carried on -from eight until 12, with the Eight- Piece Columbia orchestra, one of the best ever in this section. It is the desire of the new manage ment to make of Lakeview the best possible outing and recreation spot that the improved facilities wiU per mit, and with the new hotel, the new bath house, the enlarged grounds and changes all around, they anticipate a marked success in their efforts to entertain a big patronage. A capable officer will live on the grounds and take care of the order, and the pro grams will be such that offensive con duct will not be encouraged. Two 12-passenger gasoline boats will be on the lake, and 12 row boats, which will be for hire at all times. Bathing facilities are better than ever. Six cottages are for rent, with two large cottages with cots for campers who come in numbers. Tents for campers, and room for those bringing their own tents. Grounds free to picnic parties, and everybody welcomed. The management wants to make Lakeview one of the most desirable places of summer rest and pleasure to be found in the state, and invites the co-operation of the people in every way that the purposes of the enter prise may be realized and its benefits shared by the grreatest number of people. Suggestions and opinions al ways welcome concerning any feature of the place. With the good roads now leading from all directions, and the good service on the Seaboard railroad the new proprietors look for a good summer. You win find that it always pays to work and smile overtime. NEW F»INEBI_UF'F’ HOTEL.
