Page Six THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Friday, January 17, 1936. Pinebluff Demonstration Club Purchases a Home of its Own Votes To Celebrate Successful Year’s Work by Acquiring Store Building Outstanding among the home dem onstration clubs of the county is the Pinebluff club, which two years ago numbered its membership at around 15 and which during the past year enrolled 50 members. And the club’s i;rowth along other lines has been just as phenomenal, due to the exe cutive ability of Its president, Mrs. J. H. Suttenfield. and the cooperative spirit existing among the members. At the January meeting, the club voted to purchase an ideally located store building in Pinebluff for a per manent home dem nstration club house, and the acquiring of a “club home” is expected to mark the be ginning of a new era of usefulness for the organization. Through the serving of Kiwanis luncheons and other methods of adding to the treas ury, the wcmen already have on hand two-thirds of the purchase price of the house and lot. They plan to re model th? building to suit their needs and, later, to hold a shower to pro- cure equipment. The property pur chased is the little red store building on Philadelphia avenue owned by Claude Butter cf Hoffir.an. During the year that has just closed the club, under the leadership of Mrs. E. R. Pickier as recreational chairman, has held three or fo^ur rec reational meetings with from 150 to 175 persons present at each meeting. This alone is an important feature of the work. The club was winner of the $25 prize offered for the best float in the Spring Blossom Festival parade last year. The activities and achievements of the Pinebluff chib serve as a remind er of the fact that organized rural Landmark Passes Old Tarbell Residence on Ben- net Street, Southern Pines, is Being Demolished Contractor J.
