racing observers here as the

since Coaltown made his last
Miami appearance in the 1850

After Woodchuck's three ap-

option to purchase the horse for

Woodchuck was acquired in a

Devon, Pa, last fall. Henry had
offered to trade any two horses on

Pierce looked over the farm

Associated Press poll.
The apple-cheeked, brown-eyed

tured the tennis crown at Forest
Hills just II days before her 18th
birthday, beat out Florence Chad
wick, the English Channel SWIM
mer. and Babe Zaharias, a five
time winner in these yearly polls.
Little Mo received 81 f1rst-place
votes out of the 206 cast by sports
writer's and sportscasters from
coast to coast and a total of 366
points. Miss Chadwick, the at
tractive ex-stenographer from San
Diego who now is the swimming
pro at the Grossinger IN. W
Country Club, was second with
287 points and 81 first-place NOM
nations. Mrs. Zaharias, leading

The spring cleanup, paint-up,

before you know it, you've tailed
up a neat saving.
"A good paint job can increase
the value of a house by 12Sper
cent"-that's an old rule-of-
thumb among real estate apprais-
ers. There are two reasons:
/. BY keeping the weather out,
you give the house a new lease
on life and make it more COM

around and enjoy it without dis

2. BY adding to the beauty of
the place, you enhance it's at

its resale value, thereby protecting
your investment.
