MAW NEEDY AND UNFIT FOR WORK FOUND HERE The unemployment committee of the dhill Brotherhood of Pinehurst has made a good start in relieving unem ployment, some 30 men and several eanis finding work on the pine plant- project in the lands between Pine- bur * and Knollwood. But they have ^another task on hand that is not ielie^'(^d by the work afforded.

Barbo will not color the scalp. to not aticky « not rub Oft plan that will be followed in handling this big scope of country which is the heart of the Sandhills resort develop ment. On the east the Mid-Pines and Knollwood Heights, already pretty well planned by the architects and engineers, afford the boundary. The northern boundary of the plan is the Barber property, which in itself has been rather advanced in its general designs, Proceeding westward the lines of the map follow the northern limit of the Midland Farms tract co Pinehurst which has been in its plan ning the work of Olmstead and Man ning, and from the Pinehurst boun daries the map follows around the White tracts to the Watson develop ment on Aberdeen Creek, and to Southern Pines between Southern Pines and Aberdeen, thence to Knoll wood by way of Route 50 and the Seaboard railroad to the Midland double road to Pinehurst. Extend Pennsylvania Ave. Possibly the first striking proposi tion is the construction of Pennsyl vania avenue, with the suggestion of perhaps 100 feet wide, from its pres ent terminus near the creek at South ern Pines, along the line of its sur vey across the creek, in a straight line, either "to a point on the Midland road near Elsie Keith's house, or the telephone line a thousand feet sout.h of the Midland road, and there con tinuing it as another broad avenue to Pinehurst, getting into the Midland road perhaps in the vicinity of the McDonald place. Another road is then planned to cross from the Midland road, close by Pinehurst, down the west fork of the creek to the ol i road probably near the Charlie Wil liams place, and another road from the Midland road would be considered to follow the other valley farther east across the country to the old Pine- hurst-Southern Pines road. The prop osition is that some exchange of poon- erty be made to lead the property lines to conform to the roads as boun daries, that the roads may serve all the owners without cutting over in tervening comers. On the north side of the Midland road plans are for connection with the Barber property, probably much as the roads exist now, with consider ation for the topography of the coun try that it may be cut with the re gard for contours and relations to other property in the vicinity. The Watson lands constitute a right well designed scheme already, and it is thought Mr. Watson will be interest ed in planning his further roads in harmony with this project, as he is looking far ahead in his construction. The owners of the lands on the map Mr. Wicker has been shaping up are chiefly Pinehurst, Donald Ross, Judge Way, the Midland Farms, Burrell White, and some smaller holders. Rural Home Movement The extension of Pennsylvania ave nue from Southern Pines to the Pine- enough the villages to have the vil lage advantages, yet room enough for country treatment of the grounds. Not that any project is unfolding yet for such a proposition, but the ex pansion is seen to the eye of the men who own the lands and they are un dertaking to be in position to direct the development along desirable lines when it forces itself through the steady growth of the community, as it is doing. The remarkable address of Richard Tufts before the Chamber of Com merce at Southern Pines last week emphasized the movement that Mr. Wicker’s new map has been starting, and a wholly changed view of the fu ture of the lands in the heart of the triangle between Pinehurst, Southern Pines and Knollwood will be held from now on. Those who are keeping a finger on the pulse say this thing will come before we know it, not be cause any effort is making in that quarter but because it is developing itself from the automatic growth that community expansion is showing.

Th o new Ford has more than twenty hall and roller bearings Evidence of ihe high quality built into the new Ford 18 the extensive use of ball and roller bearings. There are more than twenty in all — an unusually large num ber. Each bearing is adequate in size and carefully selected for the work it has to do. At some points in the Ford chassis you will find ball bearings. At others, roller bearings are used regardless of their higher cost. The deciding factor is the per^ formance of the car. The extensive use of ball and roller bearings in the new Ford insures smoother operation, saves gasoline, increases speed and po'ver, gives quicker pick-up, de creases noise, and gives greater reliability and longer life to vital moving parts. Other outstanding features that make the new Ford a value far above the price are the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, silent, fully enclosed four-wiieel brakes, four Houdaiile dojihlc-acting hydraii^i^^ absorb ers, aluminum ptstous, chrome silicon alioy valves, three-quarter rear ax!e, Rustles.^ Sleel. the ex tensive use of fine slee! f<>rgingg, arid unusual accuracy in manufacturing.
