SECTION THREE WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1969 ILOT Southern Pines North Carolina PINEHURST NEWS PAGES 1 AND 2 MARY EVELYN de NISSOFF TELEPHONE 295-6067 Discovery: Don't Kill the Dog-- Just Bathe Him in Tomato Juice Petersons Move To Pinehurst Following Navy Retirement Here’s an optimistic note for a hot summer’s day, passed on to us by John Hemmer, who heard it on the radio a week or so ago. If your dog or cat should be attacked in the usual way by a polecat or skunk, which ever you care to call it, don’t despair. You no longer need to bury your pet or throw it away because of the reek. A cure has been found— bathe the animal in tomato juice. And if you have a dog the size of that black horse that Johnny Berry laughingly calls a Great Dane, the one he hauls around in the back seat of that red convertible of his, you’d better invest in some king-sized cans of tomato juice—you’ll need them. New Magazine If we carefully peruse the Sunday issue of The Char lotte Observer, we can usual ly come up with items of spe cial interest. For instance, we can some times even discover where the Pilot’s boss Sam Ragan, is moonlighting. In Harriet Dear’s book column Sunday, we find that he is one of the editors of a new magazine be ing published in Raleigh. Entitled The Long View Jour nal, it is a three times a year publication by the Longview Writers of Raleigh, Reader’s Digest size illustrated, and sounding lively and interest ing. B.etuiining Here The story of the elevation of a former pastor of Pine- hurst’s Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Father John A. Brown, to Monsignor, carried a couple of weeks ago in The Pilot, elicited a note from the new Monsignor informing us. “Here is some real news for you. I am returning as Chap lain to St. Joseph’s Hospital (Southern Pines) effective August 2. The mountain cli mate hasn’t been too good for me.” After 17 years as priest here, Fr. Brown was trans ferred to St. Eugene’s Church m Asheville in 1959. He had a bad heart attack several years ago but resumed normal activity after his recovery. Racing Notes In h’s Editor’s Notebook col umn a couple of weeks ago, Charlotte Observer Editor John S. Knight delivered i Teeing OfTl j . ! i witK i 1ISSO ff what we consider a very mild tap on the wrist to the owner of Majestic Prince, the Ken tucky Derby and Preakness winner, for refusing to listen to the horse’s trainer, Johnny Longden, who didn’t want to run the animal in the Belmont Race. The trainer said Majestic Prince needed a rest. He’s getting one now. He not only failed to win the Belmont, he developed a case of bad ankles which will keep him out of the running at least until 1970, possibly longer. Knight actually blames not so much the horse’s owner as the pressures put upon him by the racing establishment and the turf writers who demand that the public be served. We’re addicted to the books, few but excellently written, of Dick Francis. He was for merly the English “Queen’s Own Jockey,” and a racing col league, we understand, of Dooley Adams of Southern Pines when Dooley was him self a steeplechase jockey. Francis’s stories all deal with the horrifying things Charlotte’s Florist I Conveniently Located Downtown H II 161 E.

We’ve also discussed the sit uation with Pinehurst winter resident W. Lee White who was actively interested in har ness racing before the time of widespread pari-mutual bet ting which resulted in a 10- month racing season and the decline of a true interest in the welfare and breeding of the standardbreds that do the racing. When owners first began using Pinehurst as a winter training quarters for trotters and paces, the animals were here fo about six months, gradually building up the , speed and stamina need- ' ed to carry them through a summer of Grand Circuit rac ing. , Any horse, though born De cember 31, is a yearliing (that is a year old) on the first day of January following his birth. According to Mr, White, it takes a horse about five to six years to attain his full growth and maturity. When these youngsters are shoved onto the tracks before the proper elapsed time for growing and grooming, they will naturally suffer, in the leg and ankles mostly. And this weakness and immaturity in bone and sinew will later be reflected in their progeny. 1 CANDLE-MAKING — Operating film packaging machine at Everglades Candle Corporation (in left foreground of photo) is Brenda Kureth.

MARY EVELYN de NISSOFF Anticipating America’s most exciting adventure, the suc cessful landing of Apollo 11 on the moon, Everglades Can dle Corporation of Pinehurst, is in its own race to develop a “lunar light” candle which will simulate moonglow. This process is presently in the ex perimental development stage. Though Everglades Corpor ation uses a Pinehurst address, the plant where candles are made and packaged for ship ment to wholesale and retail outlets nationwide is located about a quartermile outside the town limits of this golf ing resort. In its second year of opera tion, this infant industry is experiencing a growth that is truly phenomenal. This was the word used by the corpor ation’s president, Joseph E. Kureth, who then modestly re treated into the qualification— “in a period between the first six months of 1967 as compar ed to 1969, the increase in vol ume (of sales) has been a real surge.” Two in Southern Pines Everglades Candle Corpora tion is one of three candle , manufacturers in the Sand- j hills area. The other well-es tablished businesses are Car olina Soap & Candle Makers and Pinehurst Handmade Soap & Candle, Inc., both lo cated six miles away, in South ern Pines. But the making of gift can dles — colored, scented and packaged in novel and attrac tive ways—is now quite stand ardized, as Mr. Kureth point ed out, and the marketing outlets are constantly increas ing. The main market (Continued on Page 2) Captain (USN Retired) and Mrs. Dale Peterson recently arrived here from Bermuda and have moved into the home they purchased from E. N. Richards of Pinehurst and Raleigh. The house, leased for the past several years to Mr. and Mrs. Richard M. Pratt, WES acquired by Mr. Richards from the McMullen Estate. After two years as com mander of the US Naval Sta tion at Hamilton, Bermuda, Captain Peterson handed over command of the station to Captain H. Scott Herrick in ceremonies June 27, This marked, also. Captain Peter son’s retirement from the US Navy after a career of 32 years. He and his wife, Virginia, will make Pinehurst their per manent home. Their daugh ter, Wendy, will be a junior next year at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A graduate of the Univer sity of North Dakota and of the Naval War College, Cap tain Peterson’s years of naval service include commissioning of the assault carrier USS Guadalcanal; command of USS Zelima, a Pacific Fleet ship; operations and plans of ficer with US Taiwan Defense Command; command of an All Weather Squadron (in 1955); operations and project officer for the first angled deck car rier, USS Antietam; and air officer on the USS Wasp, A two-year tour of duty in the Pentagon followed the war and his assignrnent as Air Group commander with Air Group 90 in July, 1945. In 1942 he was assigned to a Night Fighter Squadron as executive officer and later, commanded a squadron. His pre-war experience was with patrol squadrons in Hawaii. After Pearl Harbor, he was assigned to VP-92 and par ticipated in the North Africa landings at Casablanca. He went to Bermuda in May, 1967, following an assignment as operations officer on the staff of the commander-in chief, US Atlantic Fleet. At his retirement ceremony, the leading speaker. Vice Adm. Paul Masterton, said: ‘With Captain Peterson’s re tirement tiie navy suffers a great loss because of his out standing record of leadership and dedication, which result ed in a citation for meritori ous service from the Presi dent of the United States. . . (he) has had such an active career he has .spent little time in Washington.” For adults who wish to work toward the high school equi valency certificate, there are provisions to do just this in the State’s technical institutes and community colleges.
