er, Lt. Col. Harry M. Rising, com

anywhere in the world.

Modern President—Lucky
U. S. presidents in modern
times, while reserving the largest
proportion of their time to the
public interest and to the de
mands of their office, still in one
sense are better off than their
predecessors.
When and if possible, the na
tion’s top executive today can
take off by plane for his home, be
it in Maryland or on Cape Cod,
or to any designated spot for at
least a few days’ relaxation and
recreation.
Our first President, whose
birthdate we celebrate today, was
not so fortunate. Mount Vernon,
the home George Washington in
herited from his half-brother,
Lawrence, and which he loved
saw him seldom.
His tour.s of dutv with the Eng
lish Army in the French and In
dian War, as Commander in Chief
of the Virginia Army, later ex
tended to first C-in-C of the gov
ernment of the 13 American Col
onies in the war against the Brit
ish kept him from home; then
when he had hoped to return to
Mount Vernon to live out his days
as a gentleman farmer, Washing
ton was called to New York as
America’s First President.
Ironically Jefferson also, who
said of his beautiful Monticello,
“all my dreams end where I hope
my days will end, at Monticello,”
did not realize his dream of end
ing his days on his Virginia moun-
taintop home.
Pitching Cartwheels
One of the golf holes on the
course at Fred Waring’s Shaw-
nee-on-Delaware Club is a pitch
over the Delaware, supposedly on
the spot where Washington tossed
a silver dollar across the River.
The silver “cartwheels” must
have been more plentiful in those
days than now.
New Assignment
The USGA has picked off an
other of the section’s top sports
men for assignment at its Golf
House headquarters in New York
City. Eddie Ervin, Golf World's
associate editor for the past twc
and a half years, goes to New
York March 1 as public informa
tion manager for the U. S. GoB
Association.
P. J. Boatwright, Jr., former
executive secretary of the Caro
lina Golf Association, two years
ago traded his CGA headquar
ters in the Sandhills for the Met
ropolitan-area job of assistant to
USGA Executive Secretary Jo
seph Dey.
Good luck, Eddie, in your new
post.

PHS Boys Victors
The Pinehurst Rebels Friday
downed the Blue Knights of
Southern Pines by a score of 47-,
45. The Knights were undefeated
up to Friday. The Rebels are now
holding second place in confer
ence standings. The Blue Knights
are first, having beaten every
team in the conference at least
once.
Knowing it was going to be the
season’s hardest game, the Rebels
went in fighting and came out
the victors. Confidence played an
important part in Pinehurst’s
game—the lead never fluxuated
more than a few points, though
Southern Pines was ahead at
varying intervals.
! At the final buzzer, the teams
were tied at -45. In the resulting
three-minute overtime, Pinehurst
held possession of the ball to run
the clock out. Then, with only
seconds left, Marty McKenzie took
a long, outside shot which nar
rowly missed and was put up and
in by Butch Hardy. As the final
seconds ticked away, Southern
Pines didn’t have time for a long
desperation shot.
High scorers for Pinehurst;
Butch Hardy, 21 points; Marshall
Turtle Rock:
Rock Hound
Club Symbol
The Moore County Rock Hound
Club adopted the “Turtle Rock’
as their club symbol at their reg
ular monthly meeting on Febru
ary 2. That night, a common, non
descript rock was accepted by the
members as a symbol to represent
the beginning of the club when
the value of the rock depended on
its appeal to the finder, purely
from appearance and not from
any known value.
Why the name “Turtle” and
where did this rock come froinV
Two men who are now ardent
members of the Rock Hound Club
were “rock-hunting,” just looking
for any rock of interest or eye-
I appeal. They were riding along a
country road somewhere between
Asheboro and Farmer.
One of the men spotted a rock
on the bank some 50 feet away
The first man then said, “I wan
that rock.” The second asked
“What do you want that rock
for?” The former replied, “Just
because I want it and because i'
looks like a turtle sitting there.”
Thus the Turtle Rock was born.
DANCE POSTPONED
The Teen Age Round Robin and
Square Dance, scheduled by the
Pinehurst Tennis Club for Satur
day, February 24, has been post

members. However, this type of
interest symbolizes the true rock-
hound who is interested in what
he sees in rocks, whether it be
valuable or a common rock. It

sometimes he may have a rock
