Horses Arriving
For Training At
Stables In Area
Local Owners Acquire
Yearlings At Summer
Sales In Kentucky
One of Moore County’s “indus
tries” is gathering force here with
the arrival from the northern
tracks of s.everal thoroughbred
racing establishments.
Latest to come is that of Miss
Eleonora Sears, with Mrs. Nancy
Sweet-Escott, trainer, in charge.
There are around twenty horses
in all, seventeen of them track
horses, or futur.3 track horses.
Mrs. Sweet-Escott visited the
Keenland Sales in Kentucky this
summer and picked up seven
yearlings: “a good, well-balanced,
well-bred lot,” she says.
The Sears Stable people feel
pleased with 'the summer’s rec
ord, with seven wins and a good
many seconds and thirds picked
up at the Saratoga meeting.
The horses are stabled at the
Collins place on Young’s Road,
with some of them quartered in
the barn back of the Walsh
Stoneybrook Stables. ,
Earlier this month Lloyd P.
Tate’s Starland Stables opened
its doors to welcome back the
veterans from Saratoga and also
some young ones.
Mr. Tate bought twelve year
lings at the Kentucky sales,
which are now beginning to get
used to his track on the north
side of Midland Road—the loca
tion of the original racing in the
county. With these yearlings and
the ten or twelve older horses,
the Starland barns have horses’
heads peering out of most every
stall window.
At Dooley AdamS’ barns, the
story is the same. Here more than
twenty good thoroughbreds are
quartered and the woods resound
to the thump of galloping hooves,
as they take them out for con
ditioning in eaoAy mornipg can
ters along the piney trails. Mr.
Adams, who has several times
been named “leading point-to-
point” r'der of the year, is his
own trainer.
The Walsh horses will be down
soon, it is rumored, as' well as
those from the New England
stables of Mr. and Mrs. Q. A.
Shaw McKean of Pinehurst.

Hearing Will Be
Held About Order
Involving Jugtown
With the news that another in
stallment of “The Jugtown Af
fair” has been scheduled for the
near future, Moore County may
—or may not—look forward to
futther unravelling of the tangl
ed skein of this story of what is
to become of the famed pottery
in the northern end of the coun
ty.
A hearing for the purpose of
deciding whether or not the tem
porary restraining order at pres
ent preventing operation of the
Jugtown pottery by the owners,
Jacques and Juliana Busbee’s
Jugtown, Inc., shall become per
manent, has been calendared for
the November 16 term of court at
Carthage.
The order, stopping work at the
pottery, was originally brought
about as one more move in a
series of efforts by a group known
as Jugtown, Inc., to contest the
claim of John Mare to ownership
of the Jugtown property. The
group includes members of the
art and literary circles of Raleigh
and Greensboro.
Request for the coming hear
ing was made in the names of Mr.
Mare and Juliana Busbee, princi
pal stockholders in the coopera
tion of Jacques and Juliana Bus-
bee’s Jugtown, Inc., against which
the original order was issued June
1 by Judge W. Reid Thompson of
Pittsboro. At that time Judge
Thompson directed that Mr. Mare
show cause why the pottery
should not remain inoperative at
a hearing set for June 20. Cir
cumstances caused successive
continuations of the case and it is
this question which is scheduled
to be brought before the Carth
ago court next week. Presiding

“I am proud of our school. I
want us to stay profld of it.”
With these words. Dr. R. M. Mc
Millan, local physician, concluded
a talk on American education, past
and present, at the regular meet
ing of the East Southern Pines
Parent-Teacher Association' Mon
day night.
Dr. McMillan, first president of
the Asscoiation when it was foun-,^
ded several years ago, said that
much of what he told his audi
ence had been inspired by two
books of Dr. James Bryant Con-
ant, “The Child, the Parent and
the State” and “The American
High School Today.” He com
mended both to the reading of
parents.
The speaker told parents that
increased interest in education
must be shown to meet the -chal
lenge of a growing school popula
tion and tightening of college en
trance requirements.
More money will have to be
spent everywhere, he said—for
teachers’ salaries, for buildings
and for counseling and improve
ment of curriculum, to provide a
four-year high school program in
languages, mathematics and Eng
lish.
He questioned also whether
The Moore County school sys
tem’s program for present im
provements and future high
school consolidation was explain
ed to the Sandhills Kiwanis Club
Wednesday by Robert E. Lee,
county superintendent.
The county school system in
cludes all schools in the county
except the independent city units
at Southern Pines and Pinehurst.
Mr. Lee listed as current im
provements: a guidance depart
ment that does testing and coun
selling in all the schools; a mod
em foreign language study pro
gram in the elementary schools
in which more than a thousand
students are taking part, with 20
teachers instructing in French, 10
in Spanish and one in German;
five schools, he said, are using
television in language and history
studies.
Other developments in the
county’s program, he noted, are
a forthcoming sciehce fair and
exhibit, designed to stimulate
original work in science fields, a
curriculum study and workshops
for teachers in mathematics, art,
music and audio-visual aids.
Looking toward the future, Mr.
Lee described plans to consolidate
outside activities might not have | nine white high schools into four,

Christmas Seal
Sale In County
Dr. Clement R. Monroe, senior
surgeon at the Pinehurst Surgi
cal Clinic, will be chairman of
the 1959 Christmas Seal Sale of
the Moore County Tuberculosis
Association, it was announced
this week by Dr.»J. S. Hiatt, Jr.,
of Southern Pines, president of
the Association.

ing seals, with appeal letters, will

community ki the county next
week, part of the 53rd annual
Christmas Seal campaign of the
National Tuberculosis Associa
tion.
Community chairmen are be
ing named throughout the coun
ty and will be announced. Dr.
Monroe said. An innovation of
the Moore County sale this year
is that all appeal letters will be
mailed from the office of the sale
chairman, rather than by the
community chairmen, leaving, lo
cal workers more time to promote
and advertise the sale.
For the second year, the Negro
division of the Seal Sale will be
headed by Samuel Kelly of Car
thage who is also a member of
the board of directors of the
Moore County Tuberculosis Asso
ciation. He will be assisted by
workers in the various Negro
communities of the county.
Proceeds of the Seal Sale each
year are used for health educa
tion, for finding unknown cases
of tuberculosis with free x-rays,
