The diagram above, prepared by
Alfred B. Yeomans, local architect
and for many years a member of the
Board of Commissioners of Southern
Pines, reveals a plan for the devel
opment of a civic center built around
the new Government Postoffice as
the first and main unit. It is Mr. Yeo
man’s conception of an attractive
scheme, in architecture and land
scape, for the property purchased by
the Governtnent at the corner of
West Broad street and New York
■ avenue, and the available land be
tween the present Mudgett Build
ing and the Postoffice property. On
this property he proposes the erection
of a To'"n Hall, containing offices
for the M'vor, City Clerk, Tax Col
lector, and such other municipal of
fices as may be needed, and of a new
Library building, of which Southern
I Pines is greatly in need.
I The buildings, in Mr. Yeoinari’s
plan, have been located to take full.
advantage of landscaping possibil-1
ities on the site, including the saving
of the town’s oldest magnolia trees.
The sketch has been forwarded to the
office of the Supervising Architect of
the Treasury Department in Wash
ington in the hope and expectation
that the Government will place the
new Federal building to permit of
such plan for a civic center as Mr.
Yeomans has outlined.

Seawell Asks Support
For Increased Court
Urges Kiwanians to Vote For
Constitutional Amendment
to Add Two Judg:p.s:
A plea for support for a State
Constitutional amendment increasing
the Supreme Court membership from
five to seven was made to members
of the Kiwanis Club of Aberdeen by
Attorney Herbert F. Seawell, Jr., of
Carthage, district chairman of the
State group seeking the amendment.
Mr. Seawell told the club of the
great need for the additional mem.
bers of the court, of the impossibil
ity of the present judges, able and
conscientious as they are, to devote
sufficient time to the proper consid
eration of the thousands of appeals j
handed up each year. I
"They are overworked. 1 have seen |
lights burning in their offices as late j
as midnight when I’ve been in Ral- j
eigh,” he said. “They need more time
to properly pass on the law of the
land. I have only one objection to the
amendment as proposed. It should
call for four more judges, not two,
with the State’s 20 districts sending
up cases for review. I am not going
into the merits of the proposed
amendment. You know all about the
situation. I am just going to ask you
to be sure to vote favorable on No
vember 3d.” Mr. Seawell was present
ed to the club by W. Duncan Mat
thews of Southern Pines.
By Ralph W. Page
As Maine goes, so goes the nation.
By all means then, let’s visit Maine
and find out how it is going.
Disguised as a lobster fisherman
we sail through the purple islands
and interview those in the know.
And so we hail a yawl in a harbor
and are rewarded by finding Jim
Boyd, that famous historian, master
of hounds and observer of events.
Pencil poised, we leap aboard.
Tallyho. We scent authentic ap
praisal of opinion.
"Tell us, Jim, tell us what the com
posite down-east mind makes of
Quoddy and what kind of vote will
be cajit along the Penobscot, and
why.”
“The lobsters,” answered Jim, “are
scarce and undersized and disappoint
ed in love. Fickle soubrettes have
turned to shrimps and rum cocktails,
and the market is deplorable. This
bodes ill for Roosevelt. On the other
hand the fog hangs heavy over the
bays, and this is attributed to Repub
lican heat waves, and loses votes for
Landon.
“All this, however, is superficial.
Realistically speaking, the sensitive
and hard-headed Yankees have long
since fled the politicians and retired
to the deep northern woods and set
sail for the sunrise, to ride out the
storm.
“Their idea of a political campaign
is my idea of an earthquake or a
monsoon. An interesting phenomenon,
no doubt, but best observed from a
safe and disinterested distance.
“The only interview on the politi
cal situation that has stood the test
of time was given years ago by Bert
Lester Taylor in the Chicago News
or Tribune, I don't remember which.
It is just as good for the current
effort to save the nation asr it has
been for all previous efforts:
When quacks with pills political
would dope us
And politics consume the livelong
day,
I like to think about the star Canopus
So far, so far away.
Greatest of visioned orbs 'monj^t
those who list ’em.
To weigh it science ever must de
spair.
