A. 01mstea*d, who is some thing of a builder himself, was standing by the excavation of the new Westover house on Knoll wood ridge Wednesday momng watching the beginning of that portentous job, when he was moved to remark, in the verbiage of war time days, *Tal- bot Johnson is worth a lot of Herbert F.

The Presbyter- States, asks The Pilot to make i ians have proved themselves in a note of the coming of the j Pinehurst. That old Scotch de tact that that doNCument is to j termination has held the beacon have public attention. It is about lights aflame until now the doors time somebody called attention to the basic law of the nation, for probably it is more talked about and less read and known than almost any other thing of public moment. It would be in teresting to hear how many peo ple really know anything what soever about the Constitution of the United States, even to what it is for, or what it can do, or what it cannot do, or anything else to distinguish it from the other subjects of conversation. Yet here is an instrument on which the rights of every resi dent of this big and runaway are opened in a tabernacle that is in keeping with the work that is scheduled in the growing neighborhood, and the future is one of greatest promise. OUR STARTLING DEVELOPMENT It does not require an optimist to forecast the prospects ahead of the Sandhills, for any man who notes the development shap- ing up from week to week is a good enough prophet. Two weeks ago The Pilot announced the commencement of John McPher- son^s new house on the ridge nation rests. It is not a very | above the Southern Pines Coun- lengthy article. Like the conden- try club. Last week the story sation of all law which says to do 1 told was that at Knollwood that unto others as you would have|ilne Westover duplication had others to do to you, it says, seen the first dirt turned over, mighty little about what we may and the job well started. This do or may not do, yet ti is the foundation of all our civil privi leges. Principally, the Constitution defines the organization of the governing agencies, the first three articles being devoted to sees far into things, and has the courage to plan and to start ac tion on a scale that is far reach ing and significant. That man has guts ” Mr. Olmstead's. em phasis is fortifed by his expres sion, for after all a man may have brains and money and a lot of other assets, but the power house of any creature is usually in the cellar. Napoleon gave the world a historical proverb when he remarked that an army moves on its belly. And belly is merely another w^ay of saying the same thing that Olmstead said. Talbot Johnson, and probably Richard Tufts, and probably Ar- ^thur Newcomb, who are also ’members of the Knollwood cor poration, and perhaps others not so prominently identified with the concern, have done a thing that is to be of great influence. They have stepped a short dis tance ahead of the game in this new house, for it is nailing on a high altitude the sign of abso lute confidence in the future of the whole region. Make no mis take. Knollwood is no isolated portion of this neighborhood. A house like that one just starting, if set in the middle of the woods any place would be felt in the most remote quarter of all of this sand belt, for no matter how much we may think we are separated or isolated units one puritanic Christians with firm faith and unrelenting courage. Is it not universally true that | teachers both by teaching and ex am- I pie stam,p the youth they teach ?

Is it not clear that teachers who neither belong nor at tend churches have little or no inter est in church life? “A fool though a wayfaring man” can see this. Dr .

Its general outcome Grains of Sand ! trees—weakened by dry, hot weath er and by spring forest fires. The southern pine beetle measures only an eighth inch in length, but its progeny of young gru^bs that hatch from eggs laid by the forest beetle under the bark, causes a separation of the bark from the heartwood and as a result the sap cannot c6ntinue to rise in the tree. This beetle belong to the shot-hole borers group of insects. It is closely related to the shot-hole beetle familiar to all peach growers. It begins its attack on weakened trees, being attracted to them very likely by the sour sap. It can raise a brood in about six weeks whereupon the new brood of beetles attacks other trees close by that may De healthy.

But a story a few days ago in the World’s Work permits a different inter pretation. The slump in stocks in Wall street probably meant a loss of money to those folks who were frozen out of the game.

Please allow us to reply courteous ly, yet frankly and say, that the em phasis of this article seems to be against the wisdom and rights of these school officials to do this. But, first of all is it right? Why not? Do not the citizens of Moore county pay the teachers who teach their children, and therefore have a right to designate the influence that comes to their chil dren, and does the good state of North Carolina not have plenty of Christian teachers to supply Moore county? And can those who care not for the churches find em,ployment elsewhere? Wherein then is the evil or wrong? Does not the United States restrict immigration to the laws of American citizenship, and well so ? Do not lodges require adherence to certani principles for membership in Its circles ? Since when may a county not have convictions for its children’s best in terests without. being dubbed fancied “pietists”? Then as to the wisdom or logic of it: That churches are very imperfect rnd composed of many who are be low par excellence, yet know all men, by their fruits, that they are the best institutions in America today. In them are to be found the purest and best people. The highest sense of honor, the most unselfish spirit of charity, the most law abiding class of people and those most exemplary in their walks of life have been from the times of the Pilgrim fathers, those lion cars and the gas to run them. AUGUST WEATHER DODGE SERVICE STATION Featuring SINCLAIR GAS and MOBILINE MOTOR OIL Eugene A.

MAYNARD, Mgr. tt n n ♦♦ The state board of equilization to day distributed $42,064.09 to aid 105 school districts in the state that since last year have voted to extend their terms from six to eight months. The 105 new districts, located in 30 counties, brought to 957 the total of eight-month schools in the state ben efiting from the equilizing board’s “tax reduction” fund. A total of $1,161,429 was distribut-' ed on July 26 to aid 852 eight-month districts in the 93 counties participat ing in the fund. After today’s distribution, approx imately $46,500 still remained of the original $1,250,000 fund for eight- month schools. This will be used to meet emergency needs that arise dur ing the year, Leroy Martin, secretary cf the board, explained. The fund for eight month districts is separate from the some $4,950,000 equalizing fund allotted sevoral weeks ago for “tax reduction” in six-month districts.
