t HIDING DOUBLE—Teresa and Carla cm Dodge’s Bay Girl, twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Carlock
J Greene of Vilas, were moving a little fast for the cameraman to get a sharp picture of their fea
J tures as they rode in the lead line class of children under six years to open the Watauga Horse
» Clii> showgrounds at Vanderpool. Naturally, they won a ribbon for their appearance.
A WINNER—Telford Mast on his mount, Tinker Toy rides away with first place trophy in the pony
class during the afternoon performance erf Watauga Horse Show. Selection erf the winners in most
classes was difficult, as the horses were put through their paces by their riders. Trophies were
given for most classes and ribbons went to the runners-up.
• *-“We hope to see you next year
and we’ll have the place air
conditioned so it won’t be so un
bearably hot.’*
Thus Stanley Harris Jr.
signed off for the Watauga Horse
Show which premiered Saturday
afternoon and evening at the
Cove Creek Show Grounds. Box
loads of trophies and ribbons had
been passed to the winners and
most of the spectators had left
ringside in the unseasonable
chill.
One hundred, twenty-six
riders turned out for the event,
which was postponed Sept. 9 be
cause erf rain. The Hon. J. E.
Wilson of Marion judged 367
entries in 31 classes under
clear skies.
One class, two-year-old
walking horses, was called off
for lack erf entries. Tennessee
and North Carolina horsemen
who had requested special di
visions were unable to change
their plans for the weekend when
the raindate was utilized, al
though six entries were made in
the amateur class and the
walking horse championship.
FIRSTS
The Watauga Horse Show
racked up a few firsts as
locally-sponsored shows go.
It was the first raindate show;
the first show at which a pony
was given away; and the first
show “under the lights.’*
Show Manager Hiram Brooks
reported that things came to a
standstill for about 10 minutes
that night when a fuse blew and
plunged the grounds into dark
ness, however, no mishaps oc
curred.
A pony cart exhibition was put
on in the afternoon by Arlie
Hodges of Watauga County and an
l-—
► unidentified driver from Cald
well. Blue ribbons were awarded
them after the performance.
Winner of the filly pony spon
sored by the Cove Creek Riding
Club was Phillip Spann of Blow
ing Rock. Mr. and Mrs. Spann
and son, Junior, age 5 were no
tified after the drawing.
The youngest rider was
Dianne Yates, baby daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Larry Yates.
Dianne was presented in the
lead-line class which attracted
13 contestants age 6 and under.

ELECTION AND PEACE
As a result of the recent elec
tion in South Vietnam, American
officials believe the new govern
ment will have more interest in
peace talks. The State Depart
ment, however, remains non
committal to any possible re
sults the presidential election
may bring.
WALLACE AND G. O. P.
From G.O.P. heiuiquarters
comes word that Republicans j
are beginning to fear that a
third party bid for the presi- |
dency by ex-Governor George
C. Wallace of Alabama might
cause them a loss of votes in
1968. An all-out G.O.P. attack
is suggested if he enters the
race.
A defense of God is printed
in Soviet paper.
