Work To Start On
Development In
Mill Creek Area
Organizers of a new residential
development near Southern Pines
say that work is expected to start
at the area within the next two
weeks.
Plans of the Mill Creek Devel
opment Co. call for construction
of a lake of about 40 acres, and
about 75 building lots of an acre
or larger, on a 150-acre tract east
of N. C. 22 (Southern Pines-Car-
thage road), back of the town
water purification plant.
The tract is crossed by Mill
Creek, the stream that runs near
the water plant. It adjoins Camp
Easter in the Pines. First work
to be done will be clearing and
dam construction on Mill Creek,
in preparation for the lake it was
stated.
. The developers plan to sell lots,
but not themselves to engage in
construction of houses.
: Officers of the company, all of
Southern Pines, are Joseph M.
Robinson, Jr., president; Dr. E. M.
Sipple, vice president; Dr R. J.
Dougherty, secretary; and Lee K.

Horses Of
Mrs. Knapp
Win Races
Brannagh, a long-legged eight-
year-old running his first race
over timber, won the Sandhills
^ Cup at the Stoneybrook Hunt
Race Meeting here Saturday.
Taking the lead early in the
grueling run of about three miles
over 19 jumps, the big bay horse,
ridden by Tommy Walsh, held it
all the way, sometimes as far as
20 lengths ah^d of his nearest
contender. It was the sixth Sand
hills Cup winner ridden by the
local rider, nephew of Mr. and
Mrs. M. G. Walsh, on whose
Stoneybrook Farm the steeple
chase course is located.
One horse, Playalot, trailing the
field of five, fell about the 12th
jump, leaving only four streaking
around the bend—^Brannagh,
owned by Mrs. Lawrence W.
Knapp, Jr., of Ligonier, Pa., far
ahead, followed by Flint Fire,
surprise winner of the Carolina
Cup at Csunden two weeks earlier.

Cars and spectators seem completely to blanket the big, sloping

fully captured the appealing excitement, informality, and im
pressiveness of a race day at Stoneybrook.

Sarazen Sees
Big Future For
Sandhills Area
Gene Sarazen, a leading figure
in the world of golf for several
decades, spent a few days in the
Sandhills this week.
Staying at the Howard Johnson
Motor Lodge, he played at the
Country Club of North Carolina
Wednesday and had high praise
for the sporty new course there.
He said he thinks the entire Sand
hills area has a great future as a
recreation center.
Mr. Sarazen was to meet some
business assaciates here today and
go on soon to Camden, S. C. He
calls a farm at Germantown, N.
Y., home but said he hasn’t been
able to spend much time there in
the past three years, because of
his commitments with the Shell
world-wide golf television show.
He recalled playing in tourna
ments at Pinehurst in past years.
Southern Pines is general chair
man for the program.
All who received the first d'ose
last month are asked to bring
their cards with them Sunday.
However, if for some reason a
card is lost, a new one will be
issued.
Officials of the program point
out that if you received the first
dose of the Sabin vaccine in
March it is important that you
get the second dose as each is
for a different type of polio virus
and to be fully protected against
the threat of polio, all three of
the vaccines should be taken.
Last month when the first of
the three doses was administer
ed a total of 25,000 Moore Coun
ty people availed themselves of
the opportunity. Sponsors of the
mass program, the Moore County
Medical Association and Moore
County Commissioners, were
highly pleased with the response
and they are hoping that this
Sunday the turnout will be
equally as good or better.
The vaccine is an odorless,
tasteless liquid, three drops of
which are placed on a sugar cube
to be eaten.
Administration of the vaccine
for type II polio will take place
May 17.
As before, a nonation of 25
cents will asked for each d'ose.
However, officials said, if you
do not have the donation you will
receive the vaccine as no one
will be turned away for lack of
a donation.
