mark that if the citizens could form
some sort of organization with an
aim in mind something like that
which impels the Park Commission
of Southern Pines to function it
would be a wholesome move.
“The people are planting so much
more all the time that it is a pity
it is not done more systematically,”
said Mr. Yeomans. “Every time a
new lot of shrubbery is put out it
ought to be done according to some
systematic design, and not so much

That is the purpose of the Park Com

in mind a harmonious scheme and to
try to have each separate thing a
harmonious grouping, and each par

bit of road fitting in with all the
rest. Certain trees have certain ef

FOOTBALL PICTURES SHOWN
AT CAROLINA THEATRE
Last week the Carolina Theatre pre
sented the first of a series of football
plays which were produced with the
Notre Dame team.
This first number was entitled
“Shifts,” illustrating the different
systems of Notre Dame, Southern
California, Minnesota, New York Un
iversity and Dartmouth. These plays
were given with slow motion photo
graphy and proved exceedingly in
teresting.
The second of the series will be
shown this Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday and will illustrate the offen
sive systems used by the leading col
lege football teams as compared with
the Notre Dame brand. The Notre
Dame coach leads off each play with
a description, and then shows the tac
tics his team has built up to offset
the opposition plays. The third of the
