THE JONES COUNTY ZOLUE SIX TRENTON, N. C. THURSDAY AUGUST 28. 1954 This fellow belongs to a von-] idling breed, and be even is unique among this fast-fading occupational group- He is Prank Dun of Pennington Gap, Virgin ia. He is a PAHKIJ5R, Webster defines Farriery as tbe. ait or science of shoetaghorses. And that is exactly what Duff ■ is; an artist in <st^eL.; ij,:k -' He is lectured here on a recent visit to Kthsto»~his first—when he came dowso from, his beloved “hills” to shoe a lew horses for While town in the fiat coun try he not only pO^the pfcfrer shoes on some of the Jenkins houses but also found thne in be tween talkinKv horses with Cren shaw to fix up a number of other saddle horses in this -area. . Traveling in a rather battered, but still percolating panel trade with his portable anvil, forge and two Dalmatians, Duff covers a wide circle from his outpost in the hills of "Ole Vlrghmy.” Fine horses perform more fine ly in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee and Virginia because of the magic Duff can make with steel, heat and a hammer.J ", - He says there are only 45 far riers tn the United States today. He won’t touch a “keg shoe”. A “keg shoe” 1® a ready made shoe that has to be adapted to each ■loot Duff carries his horse shoes along with him. Bait you’d never jrecognize them. For until he goes to work they axe merely Jong strips of fine steel. *' But' before Duff touches the shoe he first measures the horse’s hoof ^ and finds out what the hone Is doing that needs correcting or improving. ‘he’ll slmplyqfttt work, in a wmM thkt Is hard after that Yankee DoHar tMttfB»l«an Is a refreshing breattt 'of indiyl dually. ■ : ’ > He’s not an old man, bat he’s beta at his trade for 30 years. ** And he adntftethat the only farrier he ever saw who could beat him at his trade Is his wife; an linsual fact that bis friend Crenshaw also testifies to. (Pola roid photo-ln-a-mirrate by Jack Rider) An ROTC unit was establish ed at Wake Forest College in 1951. It Is being converted from a chemical unit to a general military science unit this fall. An Awful Example of Two Laws That Are Wrong Her© ts an example of bow wring the law can pet, at times. k recent decision of the North Carolina Supreme Court saps, In effect, that no drank who Is not tUstuiWn* the peace can be ar rested without a warrant. ’The drank shown above was obviously not disturbing the peace. Bn* he was a danger to himself and an embarrasment to the authori ties of Kinston. Last Tuesday night wbfle a rain was in pro gress this drunk was reported. The first police to arrive either did not know him or recognise him in the position he is shown. Finally after two more loads of cops had arrived on the scene one did recognize the man and he was sent back to the police station to secure a warrant so the man could legally be picked up from the street and carried to the 'police station. He .was soaked to the skin on the out side from the rain and internally be was soaked with canned heat which some local merchants sell—at an exhorbitant profit— to such unfortunates. The pic ture points.in at least tw® di rections In which the law should be strengthened: 1. To make it possible, to arrest an obvious vio lator on sight and without a war : rant, and 2. to make it a criminal offense to sell such weird drinks as canned heat to the pityful men who stay in a stupor from using it.
