Page FOURTEEN THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1958 SEES GREAT FUTURE FOR TOWN Visiting Editor, After Going Home, Writes About Stay In Sandhills .< J ^ +VK»'f Q Southern Pines and the Sand hills received some unexpected publicity recently in the Butler, Ind., . Record-Herald, a weekly newspaper, following a vacation visit here by one of the paper’s owners, R. B. Powers. While in the Sandhills a few weeks ago, Mr. Powers dropped in The Pilot office to talk shop, as weekly editors and publishers often do in a strange community. He had some nice things to say about Southern Pines at that time and repeated them in a long story in his paper when he got home. A copy of the paper was receiv- *ed by the Southern Pines Cham ber of Commerce and also by the Charlton Court motel, where Mr. Powers stayed while here. Both places turned over the papers to The Pilot. When at The Pilot office, the editor said he did not think South ern Pines was getting enough publicity in northern areas such as his own section in northern In diana. He noted that he headed for Pinehurst, having heard of of that community, but ended up in Southern Pines—^which he found out abqut after arriving in the Sandhills! Mr. Powers said it appeared to him that Southern Pines has great potential as a re know that such a place exists. In his article, Mr. Powers, who likes goU, describes facilities for the game and also accommoda tions, at Pinehurst, Pine Needles and Mid Pines and then goes on to write like this about Southern Pines: “The village of Southern Pines' is about the size of Butler . . .The climate is dry and mild. Days are bright and sunny, nights cool and comfortable. It is usually several degrees warmer in winter than in the immediate surrounding vicin ity. “With a tradition for friendly Southern hospitality, one finds at Southern Pines fine accommoda tions in attractive resort hotels inns, guest houses and ultra-mod em motels. Fine food is served in the hotels and local restau rants. “A half-mile from town is the beautiful Southern Pines Country Club and its magnificent 18-hole course. It is here that one finds Southern hospitality at its best. There are no strangers here, no Bostonian hautiness. The typical Midwestern golfer will feel more at home here. He can hire a cad dy if he desires, or he can carry his own bag if he so chooses . ; . “To sum up our Week’s stay in Vlagazine Lauds Sandhills Area Southern Pines and Pinehurst are listed as among the 10 best winter vacation places in the United States, by Les Barnes in ‘Dodge News” magazine which goes to the owners of more than a million Dodge automobiles. Here’s how the author des- jribes this section: “For the fel low or family that likes golf, this is the area. Lush ■ courses are within minutes of any hotel you choose. Winter climate is dry and bracing, much like October in the North. There are fox and ‘drag’ hunts each weekend in winter.” Fines nas great potential as a re- Pinehurst-Southem Pines sort community. He speculated was that there must be thousands of persons like himself who would enjoy coming here, but don’t communities, everything was swell except our score.” gradsA pasteurized homogenized V I T A M T M D MILK VMItS •ItAGiN • Ht.GWAP* Scout Troop Sees Shooting Exhibit Eighteen Boy Scouts of Troop 223, oi which Charles Bracey is Scoutmaster, on Saturday enjoy ed an exhibition of shooting by Dr. George Heinitsh and Sgt.
