Mrs. M. G. Nichols Heads Thistle Club Year’s Activities Are Reviewed At Annual Meeting At S. P- Country Club Pender Builds His Home on Pine-Clad Knob Near Watson Lake THE PILOT, a Wifh f^aracter, Aberdeen, North Carolina To Observe Music Week in Sandhills The annual meeting of the Thistle Club was held Wednesday afternoon in the Southern Pines Country Club when the year's activities were report ed and the officers for next year elected. Notwithstanding the nation wide financial depression, the treas urer, Mrs. Robert Olmstead reported a larger balance on hand than any previous year. Mrs. Hunter Eckert, acting secretary for the greater part of the year, reported a full member ship, which included 30 new mem bers taken in during the year with but one resignation. The president’s report enumerated the year's activities, among them the Thanksgiving party, which opened the 1931 season when the Thistle Club entertained for their members and guests in the Southern Pines Coun try Club. During Christmas week an evening dance was given for the as sociate members. The first Mid-South Girls Junior Golf Championship was held December 30 to January 2, Eliz abeth Grover having the honor of win ning the first championship and El eanor Barron runner-up. The Thistle Club presented th^ championship trophy, other trophies being given by the Sandhills Activities. Beginning Saturday afternoon, January 3, and continuing thro^ugh to April the first tea was served at the club, to which members and their guests were invited. A Valentine party was given at t-he club on the evening of Feb ruary 14. On January* 21st, the first club luncheon was given. March the 26 the club entertained at luncheon for the entrants in the Women’s Mid- South Medal championship and on the following day many Thistle Club members assisted at the tea given the visitors by the Sandhills Activi ties. Tract of 100 Acres a Pastoral of Tone and Harmony, Says Mr. Butler Court House News Concerts To Be Given Next Week at Civic Club and S. P. Country Club heatre By Bion H. Butler Among all the new development in the Sandhills in the last twelve months possibly nothing is of more importance than the small new house being built on his farm between Pine- hurst and Southern Pines, near the Watson lake property by L. E. Pen der, which is his official name, but who is known to folks who know him at all as “Pete.” Just off the main | road south of where the Watson road turns to the lake Mr. Pender has a tract of almost a hundred acres. When he found that tract of land he bought it, for it was made for him. If I wanted to argue foreordination I would point to that bit o2 ground and its final arrival in the hands of i Pete Pender, He is the one man who I can appreciate those pine-covered knobs, and the amphitheater Which they flank, and on the edge of which he is building his house. Pete is a quiet man. Coolidge is a noisy talker beside him. So when I asked him if Warren Manning had planned and planted the magnificent grove of pines across the cove from his house, he ,shook his head and said, “Crea tor.” That whole scheme was plan ned by the hand of the Master. In the midst of the dogwood trees Pete has his house under way. It is the work of a genius. Not an expen sive place, but nothing cheap. Tile roof, copper gutters, cypress shin gles on the wall, cellar, attic, steps to the attic so steep a man has lo keep sober or he will come dow^n in the morning like falling off a lad der, bath room with fire-place in it, little closets here and there, some you can find, and some you might never recognize.

In addition to the stars, the followmg cut capers throughout the film: Dorothy Lee, Edna May Oliver Harvey Clark and Stanley Fields “Indiscreet,” Gloria Swanson’s last offering, will be the attraction at the Southern Pines Theatre this Thurs day, Friday and Saturday. The pic ture is a fast moving comedy-drama, with Miss Swanson rising to the op portunities afforded in a highly bril liant manner, and she is capably sup ported by a cast of unusual talent headed by Ben Lyon with other such top-notchers as Barbara Kent, Ar thur Lake, Monroe Owsley and Maud Elburne. Of outstanding note is the fact that the story was written especially for Miss Swanson by the famous song writers, De Sylva, Brown and Hen derson, who have successfully turn ed their talents from song writing to that of dramatics. They have given her a story of modem society with subtle humor, withal an enthralling plot of life in the upper strata of society. There are, however, two songs used, which were written by the author-composers entitled, “Come To Me” and “If You Haven’t Got Love” which, of course, are headed for “hit” dimensions. “Indiscreet” is a little different from the stories we | FOR SALE—For lack of room an; Want A.ds All classified Ads in The Pilot are at the rate of 2 cents per word.
