Construction Program At
Legion Field Completed
After Three Years

With the development Of power
and the use of automatic machines
the hours Of necessary labor have
been greatly reduced. To utilize this
extra time that people now have,
profitably, constitutes one Of the
greatest problems Of society today
The cost of crime in this country
reaches a staggering figure.
A large part Of this cost could
be done away with by giving and
teaching people how to use their
leisure.
Athletic contests probably give
the best outlet for utilizing much Of
this time.
Nature places upon Wilmington
the responsibility of becoming the
Playground of the South, and the
city has advertised itself as such fol
the Carolinas. In addition, the people
of Wilmington and Southeastern
North Carolina r a sports loving
people. In the earlier days Of pro
fessional baseball, Wilmington was
known as the best baseball town ii
the South, and the people Of Viii
mington still love baseball, an
when the proper facilities are offer
ed them they will attend.
Recognizing this lack Of facilitie:
Post No. 10 of the American Legior
in 1885 set out to erect for the use
and enjoyment of all the people Of
this section a magnificent athletic
plant. With some capital they hae
on hand, they recognized in the

program an opportunity to contrib
ute in a lasting way to their com
munity.
They purchased SO acres Of SAND
hill and swamp land lying between
Greenfield lake and the Carolina
Beach highway just beyond the city
limits. Through the cooperation OF
the county commissioners and the
federal government an original prof
ect of 1920 900 was set up. The work

Fourth Expansion In 20

The year 1899 marked a decided
milestone in the history Of Whining

pany for in 1889 the company en-
larged its headquarters for the
fourth time in 20 years.
Originating on North Second
street in 1921 with only n gaso'
line hand pump, the company grew
at such a pace that 1t became e
essary to secure larger space and
in 1923 the business was moved to
115 North Third street. In this new
location many services were added,
modern shop equipment installed
and storage facilities included. AS
the demands for supplying other
dealers grew, a separate wholesale
department was established and In
stalled directly behind the Third
street garage, giving the company
over so, 1000 square feet of space.
AS automotive needs advanced,
the owner realized the time had
again come when something must
be done to meet conditions. For v
eraI years plans were worked over,
new ideas incorporated, until in 1898
they eliminated in the present sta
ton. E. Vance Florece, noted Ak
ron, Ohio, architect, drew up the
plans for the ultra modern white
and blue porcelain station which
To- graces Third and Chestnut
streets.
NO SERVICE INTERRUPTION
There was no let-up in service
during the tearing down process and
construction work which required
about four months. On August "a,

thought.
There were a million stars out
from this high vantage. Rosy sat
down again, running his fingers
through his hair. He began to get
excited. Hogg was in too big a
hurry about selling off this tim
Der. He had been too anxious to
follow Rosy down to Lincoln
College, check up with him there,
make full report to Hannah.
Anyway, why had Hannah trail

account? All because OF love?
"Rats!" Rosy scoffed to himself.
Steve Hogg put her up to 1t; now
he was trying to prove something
on DR.. Tollivar, trying TO get
Rosy involved in a killing scrape.
For family honor. For the sake OF
an oath made when Rosy was just
a child, to get his eye for eye. And
on the most powerful argument Of
all, the alleged accidental murder
OF his father.
Rosy leaped erect with gleam-

He turned uncertainty, and be-
