affairs, the church stood to lose
between $1,500 and $2,000 on the
uncompleted parsonage.
The Denton firm was constract-
ing another residence in town,
and has recently completed sev
eral others on which financial
matters have not yet been clear-
ed.
The company’s construction
work usually was done with ad
vance payments made to Denoff
at intervals while the work went
on, it was reported by reliable
local sources.
Denoff is said to be a graduate
in architecture at the Cornell
University School of Design, and,
while he did not work as an ar
chitect, was rated “an excellent
designer.” He moved here about
four years ago from Great Neck,
L. I., N. Y. Moving here about the
same time were his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Denoff, and his
wife’s parents, the Garlins.
The real estate firm was incor
porated by the Donald Denoffs
in association with Benton and
Gertrude Rothbard, of New York
City, but it is not known if the
Rothbards are still associated
with the firm.
Denoff is licensed in North Car
olina as a real estate agent and
building contractor, but i? not a
member of the Southern Pines
Board of Realtors.
PRECINCT
(Continued from page 1)
the area immediately south
Southern Pines, it would be ad
visable to divide Aberdeen pre
cinct, too.
The northern boundary of the
new Pinedene precinct is, rougbly,
the McNeill-Sandhill township
line. On the south, the southern
boundary runs in part on High
way 15-501 and intersects with
No. 1 highway at County Road
No. 1852. This is the road that
comes into No. 1 from the west,
just south of Westbrook’s Market
The south line of the new pre
cinct continues east from that
point to the Moore-Hoke line.
Spies Precinct was eliminated,
Mr. Riddle said, because it was
too small, there was no suitable
polling place and it was “prac
tically impossible’’ to get elections
officers to serve there.

(Continued from page 1)
shortage of entries had been
known in advance, only one heat
would have been required.
Officials said after the race that
a deposit fee for entries may be
required next year to eliminate
non-appearance of entries.
Mike Adams on his Smokey
repeated his win of last year in
the first heat of four horses, fol
lowed by Nancy O’Callaghan on
Peter Issams’s Captain, Carol
O’Callaghan. riding Mrs. Verdie
Caddell’s Question and Janet
Phillips on Mrs. Caddell’s BiUy.

Johnson, with Mrs. Caddell’s
Beauty, ridden by Nona Pritchett,
second. In third place was Tem
pest, owned by Norman Blake,
Jr., and ridden by Penny Small
wood.
Mule Race
The mule face might not have
featured the slickest animals on
the premises nor the most ac
complished jockeys, but the eight
mules named for the eight towns
in the area provided spectators
with some of the day’s biggest
laughs and the jockeys with some
of the biggest bruises.
The winning mule was “Miss
Aberdeen” ridden by W. E. Sam
uels, Jr., assistant vice president
of Southern National Bank in
Southern Pines. Bill Samuels had
the distinction, in addition to win
ning the mule race, of being the
only jockey who was considered
to have beaten his mount across
the finish line. After a speedy
finish. Bill was thrown from the
neck of the mule and managed
to hang on until both he and the
animal had crossed the finish and
he was declared winner.
The mules ware all provided
by the Farm Management Depart
ment of the Southern National
Bank and were ridden by officers
of the bank.
Better drivers can avoid almost
any emergency situation says the
North Carolina Department of
Motor Vehicles. But, in the event
of an accident, stop immediately
and identify yourself.

Vass Water Bond
Issue Approved
■Vass citizens voted overwhelm
ingly Tuesday for a $146,000 bond
issue to finance a new water
plant.
The count was 199 for the
bonds, 22 against. There were two
spoiled ballots. A total of 262 per
sons were registered and eligible
to vote.
The proposal includes erection
of a water filter plant and the
acquisition of necessary land,
equipment and apparatus, as well
as a tax to make the project pos
sible.
CORRECTION
The Pilot incorrectly stated in
last week’s edition—in a footnote
to a reprinted editorial—that Rep.
A. Paul Kitchin, 8th District Con
gressman, had signed the so-caU-
ed Southern Manifesto. As the
Manifesto was issued early in
1956 and Mr. Kitchin was not
elected to Congress for the first
time until November of that year,
he could not have signed it. The
Pilot regrets the error.
