Sideswiped by Laundry Truck
While Standing Beside
Apparatus
Clyde Dunn of Southern Pines
Fire Department was slightly injur
ed on Wednesday morning when he
was struck by a delivery truck be.
longing to the Family Laundry and
driven by Howard Woods. Dunn was
standing beside his fire truck at a
fire in the house occupied by C. C.
Milam on Illinois avenue when the
delivery truck swept by, knocking
him down. He required medical at
tention but was not seriously hurt.
The fire, originating from a flying
spark lodging in the roof shingles,
was quickly subdued. Frtagments of
the blazing roof fell into a closet of
the room occupied by Mr. Milam,
who is confined to the house by ill
ness, necessitating his being carried

12-DAY, 2,000 MILE TRIF»
Some 45 representatives of large
travel agencies and motor clubs of
the east, west and mid.west will be
guests of Southern Pines and Pine,
hurst on Friday, October 25th. The
schedule for the trip through the Car
olinas was announced this week.
As announced in The Pilot several
weeks ago, the agency men are be.
ing shown the attractions of the two
Carolinas by The Carolinas, Inc.,
and the Carolinas Motor Club, to bet
ter acquaint them with the facili.
ties of the two states to entertain
northern and western visitors during
the winter season. They will start on
October 4th, with Coleman T. Rob.
erts of iCharlotte in command, and
will make a 12_day, 2,000.mile auto,
mobile tour covering both slates.
Roberts calls the route he has picked
“America’s most historic and scenic
tour.”
Mr. Roberts, who is president of
the Carolinas Motor Club and execu.
tive vice.president of The Carolinas,
Inc., in a statement given the press
this week said:
“The Carolinas have erred hereto,
fore by advertising all kinds of high,
way associations and short routes to
Florida. All that has been a detri.
ment to the Carolinas. It is our job
to detain the travel in the Carolina®,
instead of advising people how fast
they can pass through our wonder,
ful section.’'
Aim for $100,000,000
Having given himself such a jobi
Mr. Roberts is preparing to carry it
out by "modern scientific merchan.
dising methods” which he believes
should bring the two states nearer
the $100,000,000 tourist business he
estimates they should get each year.
The itinerary of the tour calls for
a start in Greensboro and a wind
up in Charlotte. The Sandhills resorts
are on the schedule for the next to
last day of the journey. A delegation
from the Board of Commissioners
and the Chamber of Commerce will
meet the tourist agents upon arriv
al in Southern Pines, show them the
sights here, then pass them along to
Pinehurst where another delegation
will acquaint them with the attrac
tions there.
The itinerery is as follows:

ber of Congress from the 1st dis.

Republican member of the W’ays and
Means committee. Congressman
Treadway has been a frequent Sand,
hills visitor. The younger Treadway

New Staff Coming
Much reconditioning and some re.
furnishing of the Highland Pines is
planned before it opens for the win.
ter season. It is understood that the
new manager will have an entire,
ly new staff at the inn. bringing
with him some of those on the staffs
at the Red Lion Inn and Heaton Hall.
Since the Highland Pines Inn, de.
signed by Aymar Embury and con.
sidered one of the most attractive
hotel buildings in the south, was
completed some 15 years ago it has
been Southern Pines' leading hosteL
ry. Until the death three years ago
of Andrew I. Creamer the Inn was
under the management of Mr. Cream,
er and M, H. Turner, and since Mr.
Creamer’s death has been operated
by Mr. Turner. The new change .'n
management is believed due to Mr.
Turner’s health which prevented him
from devoting his entire time and en.
ergy to the Inn last winter.
