By Wayne Groves
There was a nice crowd out to
witness the four harness races
and mule race that comprised
the afternoon card at the Pine
hurst race track. Sharp coil
tests were seen in each of the
four harness events, .with the
fastest mile of the afternoon go
ing to the big trotter Playdale
that won both heats of the
Classified Trot. Playdale is
owned and was driven by B. C.
Mayo of, Tarboro, N. C. He
had things a bit to himself in
the first heat, but in the sec
ond, Miller had ,Cleo Hanover
lapped on him coming through
the stretch, with Mayo’s mount
winning by a head.
Martha Knight, driven by
George Hunter took an early
lead in the first heat of the
opening event, but in the final
go, Miller got ’to him at the
three quarters and by a stre
nuous drive from there home
managed to get the decision.
Harvest Jim, driven by Herman
. Tyson showed nice sjieed in this
race and but for a break at the
three quarters looked to be a
dangerous contender.

DINEHURST SCOREBOARD
I by ROBERT E. HARLOW
The Pinehurst Outlook will discontinue publication with to
day’s issue until next November when it will start the second
volume as a daily newspaper.
During" the past season The Outlook has supported every
worthwhile enterprise in the Sandhills. This will continue to be
the policy of this newspaper.
The Outlook staff wishes to thank all for the support given
them this season. Due to the sterling effort of Mrs., Lillian
Harlow, advertising manager, The Outlook is finishing the season,
“in the black.” ‘
The editorial and mechanical departments worked long hours
and frequently with insufficient equipment. The latter fault will
be* Remedied before the first issue next November.
If there were some errors in the paper we ask our readers to
consider the job of making up, four pages, and on nights yhen
six or eight were necessary, that the first four pages had to be
run off and then broken up in order to obtain sufficient type to
set up the second four pages. This process kept the composing
ropm going until four and five A. M.
Members of the editorial staff picked up stories frequently
after midnight in order to print news while it was still news. %
Visiting journalists commented favorably on The Outlook
makeup and content. _ ,
The engraving department, did not have the benefit of the
latest equipment. The tub used for etching is one of the oldest!
models. Next season a modem etcher will eliminate many wor
ries in this work, and improve the quality of our art.'
For. our advertisers we will mave many new type faces which
will add to the attractiveness and display value of their copy.
The Outlook this season was not given away. It was paid
for by subscribers and by hotels, which distributed copies to their
guests. . >•- ^:r;r f-f
See you all next November. V

of the Germans up* the Gud- p
brandsdalen valley south of
Dombas were retreating earljr £
today under heavy machine gun
and light artillery fire while at
tacking airplanes aided the Ger
man forces.
A decisive struggle had not: ‘
been reached, and there were in
dications that the . German ad- >
vance had slowed down.
North of the Gudbrand&daEem
the fighting in the Trondheim,
sector virtually had ceased ex-'
cept/ for' patrol activity. At
Steinkjer,) 50 ipiles northeast of
Trondheim, no change was re-? . >
corded. Indications were that
German forces still hold Roros* i
55 miles east of Trondheim, and
only a score of miles from the
Swedish border, and that there
had been no organized Norwe
gian: -opposition ' to the occupa
tion.
The German advance toward

JUSTIFIES INVASION
BERLIN, April pi.-y Adolph
Hitler, who in a characteristic
stroke of diplomacy , sought to !
justify his Scandinavian inva
sion to the world with alleged
secret war guilt documents at- "
tributed to Britain and Norway,?
today declared the right to war
with .the Norse kingdom, and
absolved Sweden of unneutral,
connivance with the Allies.
Within a few hours of public
cation of a sweeping proclamm- r ;1
tion from Hitler, dated Wednes
day, proclaiming a state of war*
between Germany and Norway^ 4
his foreign minister, Von Rihe
bentrop, was telling the diplo
matic corps and the press and
high army, navy and air offi
cials,' that Great Britain and
France began on April 5 and
7 to spread the war to the
north, and the German invasion
of April 9 merely beat them ta v
the Norwegian scene of battfev
Producing documents whicht
he said were seized by the Ger- ,
man , army, and which he said
were taken from the Oslo for
eign office, Allies consular
sources and captured British off- >
ficers, he said it was clear that
British troops were on the way
to Norway even before the Brit
ish announced ^he laying of a '
mine field off the : Norwegian I
coast on April 8 to halt Ger-»
man ships in Norwegian terri- l;
torial waters. ' • ^
