Page SIXTEEN THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1960 Lindsleys Launch New Venture Here; Orchid Growers in N. J. for 35 Years Mr. and Mrs. James M. Linds- ley, of Maples Road are people whose lives have been closely connected with flowers. Now, having bought the business and greenhouses of New Carolina Or chids (the former Judge Way property in Knollwood), the Lindsleys are launching ja. new commercial venture at an age when, Mr. Lindsley says with a smile, they perhaps should be re tiring. •But the Lindsleys are obvious ly by no means ready for that. Not only will Mr. Lindsley be personally active in the orchid business, but his wife, Mrs. Alice Elliott Lindsley, a former teach er in New York City, will be teaching during the coming school year in the Emmanuel Episcopal School. The Lindsleys, who at one time operated one of the largest busi nesses in orchids and other lines of flowers in northern New Jersey, came to Southern Pines a year ago, after selling out their interests at Morristown, N. J. They had operated there since 1923 when they bought Mrs. Lind- sley‘s father’s business. Exotic Flowers For the past year, Mr. Lindsley has been at New Carolina Or chids, producing the exotic flow ers with which he’s had such long experience. With the recent dis solution of the partnership of New Carolina Orchids, this business was sold to the Lindsleys. Mr. and Mrs. Kiarl Bridges, two of the former partners, wiU continue Carolina Orchids, which they have also been operating as their own business, at their location at the corner of Midland and Pee Dee Roads. Mr. Lindsley’s position as one of the East’s leading orchid grow ers and marketers brought him into contact with the late Judge Way, founder of the orchid busi ness here, many years ago. He met him in New York and had visited him at Southern Pines and was familiar with the operation here. 25 Years of Orchids The Lindsleys, having taken over the Morristown, N. J., flor ist’s business in 1923, began grow ing orchids in 1925. Since that time, Mr. Lindsley explains, they have been in and out of the busi ness—but mostly “in.” They can’t seem to stay away from flowers. Mr. Lindsley says his first memory, as a toddler, is being in his grandfather’s greenhouse.. Mrs. Lindsley grew up with her father's big florist business; The Lindsleys have two chil dren. A son, the Rev. James Elli ott Lindsley, is rector of St. Stephen’s Church at Millburn, N. J. Their son attended a theologi cal seminary during part of the time that the Rev. Martin Cald well, rector of Emmanuel Episco pal Church ^f which the Lind sleys are members, was a student there. Their son has visited them here. Their daughter, Helen, is Mrs. Kenneth Waltz, wile of a Swarth- more College professor. They have two young boys. The family is now in England where Mr. Waltz is doing research under a Rockefeller Foundation grant. In Home Here Mr. and Mrs. Lindsley are now renting a house on Maples Road which runs off E. Indiana exten sion. They hope eventually to be come located in the Knollwood area, closer to their business. Mr. Lindsley plans repairs and improvements at the orchid firm and hopes he can develop it into the sort of show place it was when Judge Way operated it. The company now employs six per sons. Present production is going mostly to wholesalers in the East and South. Mr. Lindsley, a Rotarian since 1923, is an active member of the Southern Pines Rotary Club. He has been a Mason since 1919 and is also a member of the Elks. The Lindsleys enjoy living in Southern Pines and are especially happy to be active again as own ers in a business that has brought them pleasure all their lives.

Officers Right There to Make Arrest Of Sanford Man Giving Beer to Minors T nnni TTlOTlths’ SPTl- Local police were on the alert the other day when they noted a man buying ABC whiskey, taking it out to a car with a Sanford town tag. In the car besides a driver, they noted were a couple of teen-age boys. The officers followed the car. At a bar and grill on the north end of town, the car stopped and the whiskey buyer also bought some cams of beer, which he brought to the teen-agers. The officers broke up the party as the youths held the opened cans in their hands. In Southern Pines recorders court Wednesday, Archie Beck, Jr,, 23, of Sanford pleaded guilty tb buying' alcoholic beverages for minors. He paid $10 and costs. Charlie MarshaE Baldwin, 22, also of Sanford, the driver of the car, pleaded not guilty to aiding and abetting, and was acquitted. He convinced the court that he had nothing to do with the case other than to accept a $2 fee for transporting the others. All the principals were Negroes. Temporary Larceny Two white youths, Franklin erdeen, received two months’ sen tences, suspended on two years’ probation, for temporary larceny of an auto. The youths, pleading guilty, were also ordered by the court not to drive an auto during the two years except with express permission of, and under condi tions set by, the probation officer. According to testimony in the case, the boys had taken off joy riding in the car of Lonnie Fish of Pinehurst, after Parker had de livered papers for Fish, who has an afternoon paper route through out the area. They drove the car into a ditch near Aberdeen, and damaged it somewhat, but it would still go, and go they did, all the way to Rockingham. They were arrested there on radio alert sounded by Southern Pines police, to whom Fish had gone with his complaint after the car had been missing several hours. The boys were contrite in court, and Fish put his young helper back on the job, express ing belief he would make good on probation.
