COLLECTION - But what do you do with them? That's the question the uninitiated ask when they first see a collection of those old blue ? or green ? or clear ? insulators. Pictured are only a few of the things you can do with them. At the lower left, one is used as a planter; and on the tray, they 're just sitting there waiting for someone to come along and fill them with wine or beer. At least we're told that's what some people use them for. On the top shelf, three are arranged, right, in a wicker holder for vases and a candleholder. Of course, they can be just collected. The Hoke countian who dug these up in an old field uses them in her breakfast room windows to give a bit of color to her mornings. Approximately three dozen of them will be available for the Woman's Club auction on April 12. Funds Not Needed By Beauty Queen Funds reported to have been solicited from businesses in the county for an advertisement in the Miss North Carolina beauty pageant for Miss Southern Pines are not needed, according to the beauty queen's father. Frank Kicklighter said that all expenses for his daughter, Julie, to compete in the pageant were being paid by the Southern Pines Jaycees.
