United States dairymen had placed approximately 261 million pounds of butter under the feder al price support program as of January 6, this year. bining as it does examples of oil, watercolor, lithograph, landscapes, portraits, still-lifes, and a style that ranges from the purely deco rative to impressionism and a striking Grant-Wood-like portrait. Without doubt, it is the litho graphs, portrait-drawings of four Arab men, that stand out as the most impressive work in this col lection. They show a high degree of professional excellence, as well as the keen understanding of hu man nature that make them live. Indicative that her years in Af ghanistan, when her husband was ■on duty there, were well-spent art- wise, is the charming series of watercolors. Composition is one of this artist’s strong points, and sense of rhythm. The Arab towns, mounting steplike against a back drop Of the Hindu Kush moun tains; the houses like square white blocks, with the zigzag of brown earth walls following the alleyways, make a pattern, rigid, and well-defined, yet with a sub tle flowing rhythm. But not even this good painter can convey the awful heights of the great wall of ice and snow that towers in the background. Among the larger canvasses, the flat patttern of the dancing male figures, with their alterna ting blacks and whites, contrasts sharply with the impressionistic treatment of the seated Turkish girl, in her brightly colored dra peries. Mrs. Kent should be a good teacher for she appears at home in many moods and mediums.

Here are three: “The Kent show is highly deco rative, expressive, full of flavor and savor. Her painting communi cates a feeling of life and vigor.” “Thoroughly enjoyable.” “Remarkable draftsmanship; excellent command of technique, especially lithography.” “Real art.’^ February 27 is the closing date of this exhibit. —^LEONARDO ,847.85 Given In Moore County 1953 Seal Sale Meeting at the home of Mrs. Mulford Horr in Pinehurst Tues day night, officers and directors of the Moore County Tuberculosis Association received a report from Roderick M. ^ Innes of Pinehurst, 1953 Seal Sale treasurer, listing collections of $5,847.85 in the re cent sale.

By E, O. Hippus Tjiough they didn’t get any rib bons at the Cardy horse show on Sunday, the stars of the afternoon were clearly recognized in the two dark beauties, newly acquir ed by Vernon VaUey Farm, from the racing stables of the Aga Khan. Blanketed and bandaged to the knees, Kerbeb and Nemrod II were led into the ring towards the close of the afternoon. There they were stripped and revealed to an admiring gallery in all,their sym metry and grace. And if they made the fine thoroughbreds standing around look a good deal like cart horses that was only to be ex pected. For these new Cardy acquisi tions come of blood lines that sttretch way back in thoroughbred racing and breeding history. That they will stretch as far forward, continuing the record of wins on the flat and for the purse, which their ancestors have built up is the hope of their new owner, fully justified, it would seem, by the locks of his two new youngsters. Kerbeb and Nemrod II, as an nouned by ringmaster, Nick Crot- ty, will, as soon as they have be come thoroughly acclimatized, be placed in training under Mickey Walsh of Stoneybrook Stables. Young Folks Out Youngsters, both human and equine,, were the order of the day at Sunday’s gymkhana. The show itself was given a Valen tine’s Day circus-celebration air by the gay colors, reflected in Cardy costumes, in the flags fly ing and the many children taking part. The sunny hillside was alive with ponies and youngsters charg ing about or swarming under foot, in dire peril of falling off or be ing trompled on. In the ring, Corbett Alexander marshalled his troops, the young er fry of Pinehurst, who more or less cleaned up on the local boys and girls. Doreen Narelle, Nancy Lou Gouger, Billy Fitzgibbon and Mary Anne Wright were among Pinehurst children winning rib bons, while in the Costume class, Lucy Simpson, as an Indian, won tl\e prize for the funniest entry, Doreen and Mary Ann, as. a Southern lady and gentleman, starred as the most original, and the Fitzgibbon pair, Sandra and Billy, in an Alice in Wonderland get-up, were acclaimed the pret tiest entry. But though she didn’t, accord ing to the judges, rate a ribbon, the hurrah that went up for the Walsh entry showed the one the crew'd picked for their pet Valen tine O'f the day. This was none other than Baby Phoebe Eileen, sitting up on Mrs. Doyle’s Hush Puppy pony, led by her proud old er sister, Joan. This was the last Walsh’s first appearance in the show ring and, by the look of her, her sisters are going to have to look to their laurels from now on. And did we say “the last Walsh”. A rash prophecy, if we ever heard one. Top riding honor in the older children’s class went to Louise Coker of Hartsville, S. C. Joanne Goodwin was second, with Mau reen WJalsh, on her handsome, frisking, hump-in-his-back four- year-old, third, a ruling that might have been reversed, we’d say, had the riders been required to change horses., Margot Camp bell, doing well on a strong-mov- ing mount, won in the younger di- Visionj Russell Williams was sec- ond, Mary Ann Carter, third, and Diana Pearson, fourth. A near casualty of the after noon was Billy Doyle who had quite a fall when his roan pony. Hush Puppy, out of control and careening around the ring at top speed, misjudged an easy fence and came a cropper. Billy had the wind knocked out of him but, luckily, nothing more serious. Schooling Show For Oldsters In the adult section of the schooling show, Lakelawn Farm and Stoneybrook Stables shared most of the ribbons. Cappy Win- kelman, giving his King Louis a lovely ride, won several of the jumping classes while the Walsh girls put on their usual winning rounds. Another fine performance was that of Ginny MoSs riding her chestnut youngster. Reward. This was Reward’s first appearance in a show ring and he behaved like an O'ld hand. If he goes on as well through the season, the spring show should find him a strong contender for green hunter hon ors. Battlewings was another Mileaway Stabjes young one who showed up well. The week’s brooding over his lackadaisical, hit-or-miss performance in the Collins ring the Sunday before, had apparently given him new ideas about show ring jumping. He made an excellent round in the Cardy ring. With Mrs. Vernon G. Cardy, chairmanning the show, Nick Crotty announcing and a strong quartet of Alexander, Goodwin, Adams and Moss in the ring, the Cardy Vallenttine’s Day show ran off in great style. Old Man Weather may have given an as sist, too, with the sunshine and spring-like air of a perfect Sand hills day. Not to menttion Host Vernon Cardy, whi made every body feel at home and welcome.
