Cost Is No More Billboard Campaign Here Wins National Struthers Burt, Wyoming rancher in summer, Southern Pities resident in winter, carries the fight against road signs and billboards into na tional scope in an interesting article appearing in the October North American Review. Under the title, “Our Blighted Landscape,” Mr. Burt tells of the success in this section of removing the roadside atrocities, and counsels how the war against the evil may be carried on throughout the country. He pays tribute to North Carolina and its road commissioner in these paragraphs: “Within the last six years North Carolina has performed a miracle. From having no roads at all, it has reached the point where today, not as ytet in actual mileage but in potential mileage and in the condition and management of the roads already built, it has the finest road system in the United States. Also, in Mr. Frank Page, it has the finest Road Commissioner. North Carolina is proud of its manificent roads; they are perhaps North Carolina’s great est asset. But not even North Caro lina, nor even Mr. Page, has as yet reached the point where it or he ap preciates the folly of building these roads and then permitting them to be partially ruined by a parasitical busi ness; a business that pays not one cent of direct taxes, that utilizes these roads, built and maintained by my gasoline taxes, and yours, free of charge, and that has not the slight est consideration for our comfort, safety or enjoyment. “Think that over. Here is a busi ness that lives because of us, and yet returns us not one cent in value, Anancially or spiritually; which, in fact, does us harm. We pay to be injured; an odd turn of affairs. “There they are, thousands of miles of splendid highways, new miles be ing built every day, reaching out through a State that for scenery— mountain, central plateau and coastal —is second to none. A State, also, which yearly is becoming more and more of a tourist State, and to which, therefore, scenery is of paramount importance, and a State sufficiently aware of this fact to have set aside recently a great tract of country for National Park—the Great Smoky National Park. All this, and yet a State, like most other States, permit ting these highways to be turned without protest almost immediately into visual nuisances. “Put that together and make com mon sense out of it.” DR.

M. to S P. M. A. A. Scott Assumes Water Plant Duties A. A. Scott, a graduate of the State College of Engineering, has assumed his new duties as Superintendent of Filtration of the Southern Pines watt r plant, succeeding O. L. Miller, who recently resigned. Mr. Scott comes to this section from an important po sition with the water department of the City of Greensboro, and through his work at the Southern Pines plant during the recent flood has already demonstrated his ability to competent ly fill the position. J. M. Jarrett, Superintendent of the Water Works, states that his de partment was able to control the load thrust upon it during he late storm without any real damage, the water level being maintained within safe bounds by the flood gates. Picquet May Bring Talkies to Sandhills Returns From New York After Investigating Costs of Showing. Pressure on one siide for presenta tion in this wititer colony of talking pictures—^the latest step in the world of entertainment—and the prohibition on the other side of excessive cost of installation, service, maintenance and synchronized film rental, faced Charles Picquet, Carolilna Theatres mamager, today. Charlie literally threw up his hands and appealed for public and private expression, following a study of the films in New York City the last three weeks. Incidentally Mr. Picquet was the guest of Will Hays, movie czar, also guest of the new motion picture club, and again incidentally was electeki chairman of the executive committee of the National Motion Pic ture Association and delegated to preside at the Toronto, Canada, na tional movie convention October 15. It was not incidental, however, that Charlie Picquet visits the fastest horse race courses of the American summer season—at Belmont and Aqueduct parks—and it will not he an incidental fact that Pinehurst this season will have the fastest stables of wintering America with nothing but aces in horseflesh looking the judges in the eye at the daily windup. As to the talkies, one thing is cer tain, Mr. Picquet found after tramp ing Broadway from end to end and listening to the highest authorities, the sagest prophets, and the most acute listeners of theatrical reac tions: the “talkies” are here to stay. One Movie House? Only through establishment of one movie house for the whole Pinehurst, Southern Pines, and Knollwood sec tion, would it be possible to bring the “talkies” here. It is a question in Mr. Picquet s mind as to whther the public would be satisfied with the “talkies*^ entirely to the exclusion en tirely of the present silent movies, al though the silent movies, he admitted in the interview, are being shelved by the lealding producers in favor of concentrating their scenarios and stuffs on the sound pictures. “The talkies have caused the big gest upheaval on Broadway since the establishment of the movies itself,” the manager of the Pinehurst and Southern Pines theatres said. “It is the firm co^nviction of those in the know that the talkies have pome to stay and while there always will be improvement, they have passed the experimental stage.” Discussing obstacles in the way here, however, he pointed to the greater revenue which Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh theatres operating the talkies have, their much longer hours m which the customers coin collects, the greater number of persons in these cities compared to the .winter cololiy here. Also neither the Western FJectric nor the Radio Corporation of Americ:a promises to deliver the equipment be fore January 1, 1930, and these corporations say the earliest possible delivery would be April 1, 1929. Cost of installation at Pinehurst, for instance, would be $12,000, the service and maintenance charge about $125 a week atid the synchronized films would cost about three times as much as the silent films. MRS. HAYES STARTS 26TH YEAR OF SO. PINES SHOP. Mrs. Hayes announces this week the opening on October 1st of her store in Southern Pines, where shA takes care of the needs of the women Mrs. Hayes is one of the most sue* cessful merchlants of Moore Countv having commenced in a small way quarter of a century ago arid reached the point where her establishment i« the most outstanding institution of its kind in its neighborhood.
