a Paper With Character, Vaas, North Caroltna. Friday, January 20, 1928. Page Thrc«, SCOUTS TO HAVE CAMP Reports that a FaTorable loca tion Has Been Found on the Cape Fear If p’ans under way mature, the Walter Hines Page Council, Boy Scouts of America will soon have an ample camp and recreation center in one of the most desirable locations in this section of the State. H. J. Bet- terly, chairman of the camping com mittee, reported to the regtilar quar terly meeting of the executive board of the council held at the Wilrik Ho tel last Thursday night, that he had fouiKd a very desirable location on the Cape Fear River near Buck Horn Falls just above the Carolina Power and Light Company’s power plant which could be bought for a very rea sonable price. There are 400 acres of land in the tract which can he purchased for $3,000, and C. G. Hatch, of Sanford, the owner of the proper ty, proposes to give liberal terms for payment. According to Mr. Betterly and a number of others who went over the proposed location last week, the property has all the necessary requi- sitesf, including woodlandd, water and athletic fields, for a camp. It is thought by the committee that enough timber can be cut from the property within a few years to pay the entire purchase price. The executive board asked Mr. Bet terly and his committee to proceed with their investigation and make more specific recommendations to the council regarding means of financing the proposition. It is proposed, by Scout Executive Gillon and the camping committee to erect a large dining hall and kitchen the first year, and to use tents for housing the troops. It was pointed out that at small cost an athletic field and lake could be prepared on the property, while there were plenty of logs for any troop, whirh so de sired, to build a log cabin. Upon request of F. D. Chadwick, of Atlanta, regional scout executive, the Walter Hines Page council voted to include in their application for 1928 charter the counties of Hoke and Cumberland, in addition to the coun ties of Lee, Chatham, Montgomery, Harnett and Moore, which now com pose the council. It is understood that the regional office will organize the new territory and will endeavor to place an assist ant scout executive in Hoke and Cum- berland counties with headquarters probably in Fayetteville. According to the report of Scout Executive J. H. Gillon, Jr., made at the meeting Thursday evening, the Walter Hines Page council now has 18 active troops with 310 members. These troops are located as follows: Sanford, 4; Dunn, 2; Aberdeen, 1; Carthage, 2; South ern Pines, 1; Pinehurst, 1; Pinebluff, 1; Farm Life School, 1; Jonesboro, 1; Goldston, 1; Bonlee, 1; Olivia, 1; and Coats, 1. The troop organization committee has set for 1928 a goal of 25 troops with 450 members. Executive Gillon announced at the meeting that the Regional Laymen’s Conference would be held in Greens boro Friday, February 3, at which time James E. West, of New York, chief scout executive of the Boy Scouts of America, will speak. He urged those interested in scout work to attend. Those attending the quarterly meet ing and banquet at thie Wilrik Hotel Thursday night were: Dr. R. C. Gil more, J. W. Gilliam, C. G. Hatch, W. H. White, W. F. Makepeace, W. F. Cooke and D. Clinton, of Sanford; G. T. Nool, Geo. L. Cannady, S. D. ^1- kerson and Freeman Heath, of Dunn; E. B. Keith and I. C. Sledge, of Pine hurst; H. J. Betterly and J. N. Bet terly, of Southern Pines, and Scout Executive J. H. Gillon, Jr. “THE BARKER” A GREAT ENTERTAINMENT. Many of our winter visitors from the vicinity of New York already know of the success of “The Barker” during long run in New York and its subsequent run in the Northern cities. During its run in Philadel phia the Philadelphia Sun made some comments on it which are well worth repeating and which is being quoted here: “To describe *The Barker’ as does the program, is to find oneself confronted with the coldness of words. It gives merely a hint of the locale of the play, but conveys none of the fascination that Kenyon Nicholson has woven into the three acts. In a like way, to attempt to give the plot in tabloid would be to drive away illusion. Let it go that ‘The Barker* is a well-carpentered piece of show-craft ing that keeps its characters as close to the earth as people are in real life. It tells how a showman’s dreams are wrapped up in his son, how his son pricks the bubble, and just what emo tions rack the father after that. Richard Bennett, of course, in Nifty Miller, the barker, the wise-cracking, dyed-in-the-wool showman, who dreams for his son a life that never was his own; and in this part he dis plays that finesse and ability to grip the audience that marks the best of our actors. Under his spell you sit thoroughly engrosse while the kaleidoscopic of lent-show life marches past and a well-conceived plot unwinds without a halt in the tempo. Perhaps one of the best compliments to the show is that you often smile at its tragedy and feel tempted to weep at its com edy—^and that’s pretty near reality itself. «»»»»«»<ma J9T TmtM/Off fl— \ \ I T I D. 1.
