MEREDITH ENTERED
By Wayne Graves
The matinee card at the Pine
hurst race tract next Saturday
afternoon should furnish some
very interesting racing. The
horses are two we'eks farther
advanced in their training than
they were at the recent mati
nee, and this will add much to
the various contests.
The afternoons program will
carry four events, two for trot
ters and two for pacers. In
the fast trot Playdale 2:071 and
Truscon 2:081, that trotted in
2:131 at the first matinee will
again be in the same field, and
their rivalry is certain to result
in a still faster mile. Then to
make this race more exciting
the remainder of the field has
quite a bit more quality this
time. Meredith 2:06 will for
the first time carry the silks
of his new owner, Mrs. L. B.
Smith of Southern Pines, and
this fellow can trot a lot. Re
nown 2:091, a member of the
* H. M. Parshall stable, is an
other capable trotter that will
have a try at Playdale and Trus
con. All told there will be no
fewer than five in this event,
and they can all trot fast.
In the three year old pace,
will be seen a quartette of news
steeds, and this is in fact a very
classy lot of young pacers.
■From the Mahlon N. Haines sta
ble, trained by" Delvin Miller,
will come Lonsdale and High
Point. Lonsdale was raced ex
tensively as a two year old,
and took a race record of 2:1(H
over a half mile track. She is
in good form right now, and
will hot be easy to beat. The
Parshall stable will provide the
other two entries in Toro and
Fearless Peter. Toro was the

The Farms of Normandy
Editor’s note: The author of
this theme, just 15 years of age,
came to this country last June,
after spending her life in
France. A student at the Cot
tage School, she shows an eager
interest in economics, history
and music. She is an expert
equestrienne, having won several
ribbons in the Pinehurst Horse
Shows of this season. Her great
aunt is Mrs. Frank Edward
May, Mr. S. B. Chapin’s sister.
The composition is excellent, es
pecially in its commentary on
the plight of the American
share-cropper, in contrast to
the apparent good life of the
French farmer. Miss de Janze
came to America for summer
vacation, planning to return to
France in September, when the
European war broke out, pre
venting her departure for home.
By Miss Paola de Janze
The sun came pouring over
the hills and the green mead
ows, through the woods, into
the golden fields of wheat and
the silver fields of oats. The
wind rustled through the hay
stacks and the heavy leaves of
the chestnut trees. Hundreds
of little apples danced gaily on
the ends of their branches as
they seemed to say, “Look
and admire our glow, for
thou shalt see the wea
at us
in ue
th of
Normandy.”
§lowly I crossed the meadow
where many brown and white
cows were .grazing; as l passed
they followed me with their
great dark eyes. I stopped to
look at the great expanse be
• i.
fore me; here a field, where
reapers were working to bring
in their crops; there, a large
valley covered with woods and
meadows; a big wooden cart
drawn by six powerful white
horses; men and women singing
as they piled up the hay; chil
dren playing with two enor
mous but gentle shepherd dogs;
and down in the valley a flock
of three or four hundred sheep.
When I came up to them, the
farmers greeted me cheerfully,
helped me on to the cart and
gave me the reins ^.nd whip to
hold. As I lay on the soft hay
I could not * help thinking how
much I loved this country and
these people, and I knew that
they loved me, too, just as
their parents loved my parents
and their grand-parents my
grand-parents, and this way for
years and years.
Ever since our Chateau was
built, three hundred and ten
years ago, it has remained in
our family, and the people have
depended on us as we have on
them.
What could France do with
out her crops and! cattle ? What
could the farmers do without
help and protection? We are
the ones to give them those
things. When they are in trou
ble, or when they are sick, they
'come to us, and we do our best
to help them.
They rent our farms and
lands, but if .they are not able
to pay us in money, they give
us wheat, oats, barley, beets, or
whatever their crops are; they

British Steamer Lolworth Mined'
and Sank Off English Coast;
Fate of Another Ship, Also
Reported Mined, is Mystery..
NAZIS ADMIT CLASHES’
STOCKHOLM, April 23.-4^)'
—Fierce sea and air warfare,,
sparked by an attack bn a Ger
man transport convoy, was re
ported raging in the Skagerrak
tonight while Allied troops in
Norway threatened Nazi posi
tions on three fronts. The;
Stockholm newspaper Nya Dag
ligt Allehanda reported from!
Sweden's west coast that war
ships and airplanes were en
gaged in two battles in the
Skagerrak.
SHIP MINED
LONDON—(Wednesday)—A
mine sank the 1969 tori British
steamer Lolworth off the south- _
east coast of England late last
night, and the fate of another
ship, also reported mined, was
a mystery early today.
The sinking of the Lolworth
followed a big aerial battle
Monday night off the English
coast, when mine laying Ger
man planes flew low over the
Thames and Humber estuaries.
The tide of war on the north
ern battleground boiled tonight
into southern Norway, and
found Allied and German tfoops
engaged in a battle of seeming;
decision for the , “gate” to Oslo;
and, perhaps, command of the
invaded nation’s destiny.
Unofficial British and neu
tral military observers pieced to
gether this picture of the land
war:
1. The first major battle of
the \campaign is beginning near
Lillehammer, where the great;
Gudbrandsal valley enters the?
southern plain.
2. A flying column of Nor- >
wegians and British has thrust
southward from Britain’s cen
tral west coast landing places
add, flanking the Lillehammer
conflict is pushing for HamaT,
30 miles south', of Lillehammer
and 60 miles north of Oslo. This
j force has taken Moelven, about
10 miles north of Hamar.
BERLIN ADMITS STRIFE
BERLIN—The first admission
of direct fighting between Brit
ish and German land forces in
central Norway came from au
thorized German sources today
but German officialdom, analyz
ing repeats of additional air anii
naval engagements, adopted th<U ~
attitude that “the more the Brit
ish attempt to land in Norway
the better we like it.”
Nazi confidence was bolster^
by news of the German bomb-«
ing of Andalsnes and Namsos,
British debarkation point south
and north of German held Trond
heim; Grong, railway point~ west
of Namsos and Dombas, another
strategic rail point.
