A neat little booklet of “Rail- <

the reader an awesome idea of I

Every small town has several out- ' If the Observer lived nearer to Pine-
3ta2',ding creatures,, whether they be hurst or Southei'n Pines and follow-
man or beast, who are known to
pretty near the entire population. In
this case a black and white collie is
the subject. He roams the village
streets and has a friendly tail wag
for everybody. He fallows into the
bank when the door swings open,
drops down for a quiet rest. In front
of the stores, at busy intersections,
or over at the filling station, he is
encountered about the town. He is
getting up in years and ha.s been a
town character for a long time. And
during that time he has learned some
thing about human beings too. In
passing a group of small boys near
the theatre building he raised a paw
and shook hands all around. Two
blocks ab ve an old man was coming
bis direction. The dog stopped and
raised his head. The anticipated pat
was forthcoming. The morning
freight arrived. The dog crossed the
track beside two women he joined.
They saw he reasoned the sidewalk in
safety. He has had a bump or two
meanderings continue. The bond be
tween a man and his dog has always
been an interesting union.

During' the last war the avia
tors were the beaux sabreurs of
all the armies. Their task de
manded great things of them,
called for individual acts of
quick decision and hig'h cour
age. The “dog-fights” high over
Che lines were man-to-man du
els, clean, quick, dashing, w^atch-
ed often by the troops beneath
with breathless excitement, as
the combats between the heroes
of old v.'ere watched by their
followers. On both sides avia
tors were heroes, honored and
acclaimed by every man and wo

Cordiality goes a long way and
reaps as satisfactory results as any
thing we can think of. Every once in
a while we get a nice letter from
the man at the Plaza hotel inviting
us to stop and see them when we
are in New York the next time. He
says he will meet us personally, have
theatre tickets ready, that all kinds
of transit facilities are at the door,
and that the house has been redec
orated and refurnished and that if
we come up this fall they would be
mighty glad. It is just like getting a
letter from Grandad, and you resolve
if you are ever in New York again
you will drop in long enough t^ tell
’em how’dy and that if they ever get
down this way we would like to have
them stay long enough to play golf
on some of our fine courses and have
dinner at cne of our nice hotels.

November 20, marks the date when

Southern Pines as a town is not as
old as some, yet it has been in exis
tence long enough to S"e long lists of
its j'oung people grew up and branch
out into many productive fields and
lines of distinction. Doris Swett, who
recently left for Florida after a brief
vis.t is one of her outstajiding pro
ducts. Miss Swett’s skill and ability
as an etcher has won recogniticn for
her from institutions of fame and
note. Hence Southern Pines feels
pride in the youngster who lived and
grew up in the town.
We reached the middle of Novem
ber with many fall flowers. Our
first frosts were delayed, prolonging
rcses and chrpsanthemums where
they have made many attractive
spots about the local gardens. Re
becca Cameron had a spectacular dis
play of Tithonias, reaching nearly
second story heights. The wanderers
who discovered her garden in their
explorations ifound something very
showy in the bright orange flowers.
A popular pastime for folks at
home, the radio, and some newspa
pers, is to ask puzzling questions your
friends can’t answer. When utter be
wilderment sweeps ever the face of
the contestant and he fails to an
swer, the question is supposed to be
good. Th« Charlotte Observer asks
the wizards of golf very far, they
too would understand the skillful use
of a golfer's wrists. We can’t be
caught cn that one.
Last summer cars from 48 states
toured the park lands of western
North Carolina. A count was taken
as the automobiles and people regis
tered, in traveling through. The Fed
eral government has condemned for
national forest purp'ses 74,951.18
acres more, with 12 counties inclu
ded in this territory. In a recent Fed
eral court the government institu
ted proceedings for condemnation of
more land in that western area. We
will soon be an all year round resort
state.
One cf the most deplorable sights
about the town and country is the
smoke rising from piles of burning
leaves. In the use of commercial fer
tilizers North Carolina leads all other
states. The News Letter from the
University Press says North Car
olina consumed slightly over a mil
lion tons last year, and no other state
a close competitor, and that North
Carolina uses one-sixth of all the fer
tilizers used in the United States,
and has been doing so for over two
decades. That is quite a record. If
the farmer pays around $30. a ton
for fertilizer at that rate they reckon
on about one-half of the gross in
come from the State’s cotton crop of
half a million bales to pay the fer
tilizer bill. A lot of trouble with our
impoverished soil condition is
thoughtlessness on the part of farmer
and the gardner.
Exhausting the humus of the soil
is one of North Carolina’s most costly
mistakes. A ton of rotted leaves has
practically the same value as a ton
of manure. We burn one and buy the
other. Left to decay with a light cov
ering of dirt, valuable material is
ready for the garden in the spring,
as decomposition of leaves is quickly
accomplished. The News Letter says:
“In no state is there greater need for
soil conservation than North Carolina.
If cur soils could be built up to com
pare moderately fovorably with our
unexcelled climate. North Carolina
would be an agriculture paradise."
To maintain plant life with any
success there must be a return to the
soil of what the plant has removed.
An experiment with the next down
fall of leaves will mean response in
the spring.
