f €> i THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1964 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page ELEVEN The Pinehurst Page MARY EVELYN de NISSOFF TELEPHONE OX 2-6512 TEEING OFF * WITH deNISSOFF Lack Of Coordination Sheer indolence and lack of coordination forced me to kick the cigarette habit years ago, but at least I can understand and compassionate the present agon ies of those undergoing the with drawal process. The indolence was in myself, the lack of coordination, in my hosts, friends with whom I spent the summer, who were giving up smoking. They kept the matches in the kitchen (to light the stove with), the ashtrays (hidden?) in the attic, and a few fags stashed away at some equidistant point. I was too lazy to attempt to pull these three necessities to gether; added to that, I had given up eating breakfast that summer, and a cigarette smoked before a breakfast not eaten, somehow lacks something. The main benefit, and a com pelling reason to me, for staying on the cigarette wagon, was the 12 pounds I gained after quitting. This, I realize, however, is de finitely not an incentive in many cases. On 'Togetherness" The newest thing in status symbols is now the sauna bath, and to own your own redwood cubicle with a corner full of hot stones, for the purpose of taking daily healthful steam bath cock tails is a “must.” In addition to the health-pro ducing properties of this custom imported from Sweden, it is also a good time to get together with other members of your family, when you can “sweat out” the latest news of the day together. This form of convivial madness has opened the door to the Madi son Avenue ad men, who have started another “togetherness” campaign, presumably to benefit the plumbing manufacturers and distributors, touched off by the slogan “The Family that Bathes Together, Stays Together.” About two months ago, a mem ber of the Pilot’s mechanical staff was complaining bitterly about the fact that even when he was taking a bath, he was not allowed any privacy, as his young son was too inclined to join him in the tub. By mathematical computa tion, he found the only time was alone was when he was in his car driving to and from work. I agree. Let’s have no more idiot forms of “togetherness” forced upon us—Jiow about a little “separateness” now and again? Woman’s Exchange Rummage Sale Chairmen Named Mrs. H. A. Peck and Mrs. John R.

JAMES W. TUFTS MRS. ROBERT KOHLER Trailer Homo Of Archie Sullivans Burns Last Week Mr. and Mrs. Archie Sullivan and their son, Dennis Earl, 13, lost nearly all their personal be longings when their 55-foot house trailer home was destroyed by fire Wednesday afternoon of last week. Mr. Sullivan, who has been a Pinehurst Laundry route man for the past 17 years, is widely known in this area. Their trailer, on foundations like a permanent home, was located in the Juniper Lake community. The family is living temporarily in a furnished house, offered to them by Dr. J. C. Grier, Jr., of Pinehurst, in the same community, which is off Highway 15-501, about two miles north of the Pinehurst traffic cir cle. No cause for the fire has been discovered, Mr. Sullivan said. His wife was home when the blaze broke out and was driven from the trailer by dense smoke while she was attempting to telephone to her husband and the fire de partment. The Pinehurst volunteers re sponded to a call, but were un able to save the trailer or its con tents. Insurance was carried on the trailer, which the Sullivans were purchasing, but they had none on their personal belongings. Mr. Sullivan told The Pilot this week that much generosity had been shown to him and his family since the fire, by residents of Pinehurst and the Juniper Lake and Eastwood communities. The Sullivans are members of Culdee Presbyterian Church whose pastor, the Rev. W. K. Fitch, Jr., has been one of the leaders in helping obtain assist ance for them after their loss. Cir cle No. 4 of the church conducted a shower of clothing, cooking utensils and food, for the Sulli vans, at the church Saturday night. Mr. Sullivan asked The Pilot to express the family’s apprecia tion and thanks to all who have helped them. The Sullivans have two other children, a married daughter, Mrs. Barbara O’Connell, living at Methune, Mass., and a son, Wil liam Douglas Sullivan, who is away at school. Legion Post Supper The A. B. Sally, Jr. Post 350 of the American Legion and its Auxiliary unit, wiU stage a chick en dinner at the Pinehurst Le gion Hut from 12 noon to 3 p. m Sunday, March 1, with proceeds going to the Archie Sullivan family. There will be no set price for the meal, but donations will be appreciated, said a member of the Post this week, who also urged a full attendance at the dinner. Local Minister’s Son 1 o Be Priest At Raleigh Church The Rev. Louis C. Melcher Jr. of Sullivan’s Island, S. C., will became an assistant rector at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, Raleigh, it was an nounced by the Rev. James Mc Dowell Dick, rector. The exact date of his arrival in Raleigh will be announced. The Rev. Mr. Melcher is the son of the Rt. Rev. L. C. Melcher, minister of the Village Chapel in Pinehurst, and of Mrs. Melcher. He will come to Raleigh from the rectorship of the Church of the Holy Cross at Sullivan’s Is land. He is a graduate of the Uni versity of South Carolina and The Virginia Theological Seminary. He is married and he and his wife have two children. Winning Pinehurst JV’s End Season Pinehurst High School JayVees defeated Southern Pines High School JayVees Friday afternoon, 51 - 32.

J Stratton Painting Shows Top McKean Racer “Polylad,” the eight-year-olid pictured above in the reproduc tion of a painting by Patricia Her ring Stratton, has won $320,000 for his owners, the Q. A. Shaw McKeans, since he was purchased, as an unraced two-year-old, for $5,000. The painting of the outstanding flat-racer by Mrs. Stratton, wife of William J. Stratton of Catti- stock, Southern Pines, commis sioned by the McKeans, hangs in the living room of their home on Linden Road near Pinehurst. “Polylad.” sired by the distin guished racer “Polynesian,” has a sister, “Polylady,” also making a record for herself as a stakes winner. She is not owned by the McKeans. In his first year of racing for the McKean stable, “Polylad” won nine of the 15 races in which he was entered. As a four-year-old, he won the Mass Handicap, for a $50,000 purse, at Suffolk Downs, N. Y., and thereafter, placed twice in the same stake. He is a winner of the Roamer Stake, also raced in New York. The horse was one of six sav ed from 22 head in the McKean stable last year when the “Big Fire” of April 4, which swept through Pinebluff, and the Lin den Road section of Pinehurst, destroyed the stables and threat ened the McKean home. Retired temporarily due to a broken shinbone, “Polylad” is be ing groomed by trainer John Don ahue for this summer’s racing sea son and, according to Mrs. Mc Kean, seems fitter than ever. The McKeans, who have a sum mer home in Hamilton, Mass., now have 10 race horses in the stable on their estate here, and three yearlings, purchased in Sar atoga, that look promising. ‘1964 Showcase Of Stars’ Planned By Recreation Ass’n.
