MIDDLEBURG, April IA
Taking it's cue from the bit
of verse, 1.-THE Glenwood
Course" on the cover of the
entry blanks sent out to race
horse owners. the Middleburg
Hunt Race Association is ready
to send horses flying down the
course when its race meet
opens on Saturday at Glen
wood Park near Middleburg.
The franks of the multi
tude" will be seated in their
boxes, rather than on the
greensward, when they wait
impatiently for the big race
the Middleburg Hunt Cup
which is timed to catch the
most reluctant luncheon guest
who might have gotten way
laid at the Community Center.
This year, interest is running
high around the countryside
as six out of II entries are
owned locally.
Chris Greer of Middleburg,
who has been in New York
this week with Mrs. Greer, is
running Rayquick. the smart
horse that laid off the pace
and retired the Warrenton
Gold Cup two years ago. The
Greers may have something to
celebrate at their dinner party
on Saturday night, and so
may the Cyrus Manierres at
their dinner the same night.
Cy, who lives at Halfway,
has entered Uncle Pierre in
the Middleburg Cup, and a
neighbor. George Ohrstrom,
will be right in there on "the
ribbon of green" broken
by a few hard hurdles with
his Lord Mildmay.
DR.. Joe Rogers of Hamilton
is riding his Star Salome
against his former Big Breeze,
which he sold to Charlie

ing room only, and that
packed with parties planned

NEWS FOR VETERANS


Veterans no interrupt
their Korean CT Bill training
to go back into military serv-
ice will be permitted to re-
sumo their courses after dis
charge, even though their
starting cutoff date has
passed, Veterans Administra-
ton said.
Ordinarily, a veteran who
suspends CT training after
his cutoff date for more than
IL consecutive months must
prove to VA that the suspen-
sion over and above the 12-
month period was due to rea-
sons beyond his control. Also,
he must get VAS prior APP
prevail before he may continue
his training.
VA has ruled that a train
ing suspension of longer than
IL months caused by a vet
GRAMS return to active mill
tary duty, will be considered
to have been caused by a rea-
son beyond his control"
Therefore, after he finally
is released from service, he
will be allowed to resume his
elected program of CT train
ing-so long as he does so
within a reasonable period
following his discharge or re-
lease.
Va explained that condi-
tions are different for vet
eran-trainees who suspend
their courses for periods of
IL months or less, after their
cutoff date. Under the law,
they do not need to justify
their suspension, nor do they
need VA approval in order to
get back into training. 1t is
only suspension of longer
than IL months require justi-
fication and approval.

Boston-The dazzeling Har-
lem Globetrotters wind up
their first swing of the new
basketball season in New Eng
land here Friday night at Bos-
ton Garden and then go dane
ing down to Dixie.
Abe Saperstein's spectacu-
lar sharp-shooters continue
to reign as the games No. 1
attraction. That was clearly
and dramatically shown last
week when they made their
initial 1856 visit to his
toric Madison Square Garden
in New York.
They played two games in
the Garden--afternoon and
evening-and drew a total at
tendance of $4,000. The Trot-
tiers, exhibiting a whirlwind
passing attack and phenom-
email shooting skill, created a
panic in the big arena. Never
before have Garden fans seen
such an amazing remarkable
demonstration of court magic.
Leading the way, of course,
was Bombin' Bob Hall, the
funniest, as well as one of
the most talented, players
seen in Manhattan in years.
One veteran writer, obviously
amazed by the Trotters' mix
ture of tom-foolery and fine
execution of basketball wrqte
afterwards:
'There have been hundreds
of teams in Madison Square
Garden, but none like this
one. The Globetrotters had
the fans in an uproar from
the very first whistle to the
last. Bob Hall, basketball's
newest comic, should be on
Broadway. He'd lay 'em in
the aisles, surely!"

SEVERE SHORTAGE
OF OYSTERS NOW
IN NORTH CAROLINA
Worst in IS Years Dealers Report;
Never Does Seem 10 Get
Any Better
BY FRED WHITAK Err

North Carolina is faced with
the most severe shortage of oysters
from its coastal waters in rs years,
according to a discussion developed
here on the week end at meeting
Of the North Carolina Fisheries
Association.
For the first time in the 75-
year period the oyster processing
houses at Belhaven, Vandemere
and Oriental have not yet opened
this late in the season. And only
limited "shucking" was reported
from oyster houses in Hyde
County.
Of the remedies put forward by
members of the Association, the
most drastic suggested was the
closing of the coastal sounds for
three-year period to enable the
oysters to come back.
Hurricanes, or whatever the
cause of the oyster shortage, ac-
cording to the oystermen, have
caused only population shortage
the flavor and quality of the
North Carolina oyster remains ex-
cellent-the graded sizes are en-
tirely satisfactory-and the de-
mand for Tarheel oysters is good.
Principal speaker at the Fish
cries Association meeting, over
which President Earl H. Holton Of
Vandemere presided, was the Hon.
Herbert Bonner, First District
congressman and chairman of the
House of Representatives Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries Com
mitee, who was introduced by N.
c. Attorney-General William B.
Rodman, Jr.
Congressman Bonner promised
the fullest cooperation of his COM
mittee to the fishing industry of
North Carolina, and he invited the
Association to make known it's
needs to him. The speaker cited
the "high potential" Of the States
fishery.
Gerald B. Talbot, director of the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Laboratory
at Beaufort, outlined the work of
the Federal Government in the
menhaden, striped bass, and shad
fisheries.
DR.. Alfred F. Chestnut, director
of the N. c. Institute of Fisheries
Research commented on the poll
cies and programs of the Institute,
calling attention to the production
of oysters in the former non-pro-

LOW INTEREST RATE
FAVORS BAD CHECK
ARTISTS IN COURT
Fish Dealers Get By Pretty Easy
in Cases Involving Thousands
of Dollars.

Persons who accept bad checks
in payment for fish sometimes find
out they are lending money at a
terrific low rate of interest, mere
trifle of what the banks charge,
and sometimes they are lucky if
they get back the principal. Fish
buyers have shown several times
in court that by paying with slow
checks, they get large sums of
money at practically no interest
over a long period of time.
In Dare Recorders court this
week, Ted Day, a fish buyer from
Washington, N. C. was tried for
issuing of some $2,278 dollars in
seven bad checks to Alton w. Best
of Stumpy Point. The court allow
ed Day to depart with a suspended
sentence, and to pay back the
money at $50 a month, which will
take nearly four years. Day will
Rave to pay court costs which
range in the neiyhborhood of $500.
The same amount Of money, if
borrowed on interest," from a bank
would cost $500, and more if the
money was borrowed from small
loan bank.
A similar case, involving an APP
proXimate sum of money hung fire
in the courts of Dare for several
years, and was finally ended last
year, although it is not recorded
that all the money was paid in full
with interest.
Other eases tried in Dara Re
corders Court tbs week: Kermit
Curtis Brown paid costs, for fail
ing to observe a stop sign. Preston
Lee Sears and William james
Kirby, each were fined $40 for
speeding. Edgar Donald Pentecost
paid SIS for speeding. Margaret
briggs Phillips paid $25 fof allow
in an unlicensed person to drive
her car.
o. ]. Jones of Manteo, was
awarded a judgement for unpaid
account of $268.31 and costs
against E. R. Culpepper and wife
of Mays Head. H. F. FOLSOM Arms
Co. a judgement of $3.50 against
E. M. Midget of Kitty Hawk. A
hearing involving N. E. Brantiey
was continued to January 3.
