Pinehurst News in the Vass Pilot, Dec. 14, 1923

Pinehurst News

On Friday the 7th, the Pinehurst School formally opened their lunch room and began serving hot lunches to the children at school at a very nominal cost. Mrs. Bruce Cameron is chairman of this work which insures the success of the undertaking from a nutrition as well as a financial standpoint. Soups, candies, fruits, sandwiches, cakes and other substantial food will be served each day.

It is with sincere regret that we learn of the resignation of Miss Nora Bradford as county demonstration agent for Moore county. Miss Bradford has been in Moore county for almost two years and has done most effective work in all educational departments of the county work. Miss Bradford is a graduate of the Womans College at Greensboro [now University of North Carolina, Greensboro], and is well qualified for the most responsible position in the educational department of the Genesee Pure Food Co. of Philadelphia, where she goes to fill.

The Wednesday afternoon matinee at the fair ground was a splendid success. There are more than 100 horses wintering in the race stables at Pinehurst.

Mr. R. Pyron, Mrs. Pyron, Mrs. Sam Jones and Mrs. J.V. Slocock spent Saturday afternoon in Troy.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Picquet had as their dinner guests Mr. and Mrs. H.T. Dana Monday evening.

Mrs. Sam P. Jones of Cartersville, Ga., is visiting her daughter, Mrs. R. Pyron in the Franklin Flats. While in Pinehurst Mrs. Jones is receiving many social attentions. On Sunday Mrs. Jones and Mr. and Mrs. Pyron were the guests at Samarcand Manor of Miss Agnes McWaughtn [ton? Ten?] in her beautiful home just completed.

On Thursday, the 13th, the second of the series of Silver Teas was given by the ladies auxiliary was held at the residence of Mrs. Dan Hall. It was a delightful occasion and a large number of women called during the hours of the tea. Christmas gifts from the Mission Schools as well as cakes and candies were sold.

Polo Friday afternoon at the polo field between the Sandhill No. 1 team and the Winston-Salem Reds will be one of the distinctive features of the week.

Pinehurst Berkshire Farms and Mr. Wall and Miss Bradford were successful Tuesday with the meat demonstration, and the program was indeed an instructive one form beginning to end to the farmers and club boys and girls who attended. The government expert, as well as State specialist present were “on their job,” and from the slaughtering of the hogs to the smoking of the meat and stuffing of the sausage, and only the most effective methods, as well as the simplest, were used. The lunch served at noon was delicious and the sausage used was a sample of Pinehurst pure-food product, the all pork sausage that is in such demand all over Moore county.
