Summing up achievements of the two years just completed, the latest of Which was the highly successful garden tour of April 9, the club had a good opportunity to see whether it was fulfilling the aid set when it was started four years ago—“the rendering of civic service as an effective working groun—not a social organization.” It was decided then to restrict the club membership to real “dirt gardeners” and to keep it small, simple and of real community val ue.

Mr. Johnson asked that all parents of Boy Scouts of the county attend with their sons, al°o all other friends of scout ing. ported activities for 1950-51 and 1951-52. These included two annual gar den tours, both successful but with figures showing how this pro ject has grown from year to year —last year’s net proceeds were $431, this year’s $750 with an at tendance of approximately 400 from many parts of the state. Another large project was the planting of the grounds around the school auditorium at a cost of about $800, with a pledge of main tenance for the ensuing year. The club promoted the planting of trees by the Town on newly widened 'West Pennsylvania, a project which has added much to the good looks of that section. It also sponsored a clean-up of Midland road, in which the comr munities of Southern Pines and Pinehurst cooperated. Other activities: a public meet ing at the Civic club, with an il lustrated talk on Orton Planta tion; a showing of Christmas ar rangements at the library; the do nation of Banksia roses to the Shaw House; a public meeting at the Civic club, with Miss Cora Annette Harris, garden writer and consultant, as guest speaker on herb gardens; an exhibit of flow er prints and paintings at the li brary. The members are now collect ing shrubs for planting about the Boy Scout hut. It has consistently striven for the enhancement of commimity beauty through cleanliness, order and tasteful planting. A rising vote of thanks was giv en Mrs. Campbell for her excellent service in the two years of her presidency. The first “social occasion" for this group of hard-working ladies occurred at the end of the busi ness meeting, when Mrs. Camp bell was hostess at luncheon for them all. .

Temporary officers are: C. S. Patch, Jr., Southern Pines, presi dent; Mrs. Margaret B. Clark, Southern Pines, vice-presideirt, and Hugh D. Carter, Pinehurst, secretary-treasurer. These steps were sufficient to get the club rolling as an affiliate of Citizens for Eisenhower, nation al organization of voluntary work ers aiming for the nomination and ultimate election of their five-star candidate “Ike,” Chairman Patch, the organizer, informed the group. He distributed buttons and lit erature secured from the national headquarters, and explained ways in which the members could pro mote the cause. “The movement for General Eisenhower is cutting across party lines everywhere,” he declared. “I stand here as a reg istered Democrat and some of you, I know, are the same. I am not so much opposed to any Demo cratic candidate or Republican candidate as I am just—for Ike.” “We’re not knocking anybody— just selling the Eisenhower pro gram.” Twelve persons were present at the meeting, held at the Civic club building. Several conflicts that evening had prevented the attend-: ance of a number of other “Ike” supporters. A quorum of 15 was set for the next meeting, at which the official election of officers and a steering committee will be held, though a good many more than that are desired and expected. This is the first independent po litical organization set up in the county in support of any candi date for the presidential nomina tion and election this year. WITH THE Armed Forces Jordan J.

And in addition there will be a guest conductor—the composer of many favorite concert pieces, -lirecting five of his own composi tions. Definite acceptance of the invi tation to “guest-star” at the -local concert has been received from Capt. Leroy Anderson, now sta tioned at Fort Bragg, it was learn ed from Voit Gilmore, president of the Sandhills Music association, sponsor of the performance here. While the orchestra has played in pi*actically all towns and cities of North Carolina—the only or chestra in any state to belong to its people,'through state support —this will be its only concert with the distinguished composer wielding the baton. Selections he will direct are “Syncopated Clock,” “Trumpet er’s Lullaby,” “Plink, Plank Plunk,” “The Wgltzing Cat” and “Sleigh Ride”—some of the most popular among the 25 or 26 of his published compositions. Writing for the symphony con cert field. Composer Anderson has also struck the popular fancy with his gay, tuneful music, some with unusual “sound effects” by various instruments.

Never before in Sandhills history have we had a famous composer here directing his own works with a full symphony orchestra, and if it has happened before in the state, the occasions have been very few indeed. “I advise those who do not have season tickets n-ot to delay in buy ing their tickets to this concert, as we are sure to have a full house.” Woods Fires Blaze In Weymouth And Northern Moore Two forest fires broke out Monday, sending Moore County fire fighters into action and their director, Forest Ranger E. W. Da vis, on a fast drive across the county and back again. First sign of trouble came in a call from the ' northern area where, up near Carbonton, smoke had been sighted on the highway department prison farm tract. Ranger Davis took off, picking up the Carthage pickup truck and crew en route. Some 20 acres was burned and a quantity Of valu able hardwood timber destroyed before the fire was brought under control. Meantime trouble was brewing at home. A radio call told Davis that a fire was raging on the ridge east of Southern Pines, in the Weymouth development sec tion. Giving the order for C. V. McCrimmon, power-wagon oper ator, to get his equipment and crew to the scene, Davis started back. He arrived to find his crew, with the help of volunteers, had gotten the blaze in hand. First warning of the local fire came from Howard Butler and James Swett, whose property adjoins that of Mrs. J. H. Towne on whose ridge property the fire had started. Butler called the tower and also John M. Gold smith. Weymouth Estate mana ger, who took his pump wagon and crew into action. W!ith the help of volunteers from neighbor families, the two Icrews raked the bridle trail in the path of the fire and held the flames to the line, thereby, according to Ranger Davis, saving much valuable property.
