Opening of
HuntCroup

The Redland Hunt Association
held its traditional Opening Hunt
at Muncaster Mill with Edward
Fletcher entertaining over 100
guests at his home for breakfast
before the hunt.
The hounds were cast at l pm.
in a drilling rain. William F.
Carl, MF.H led a field of over 30
riders including new members
Miss Ann Morgan Grady, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan
Grady, and Mrs. Jack Tolbert,
who have recently moved into the
Olney neighborhood. Miss Don.
ma Bradley and Miss Jackie Wind
Ter rode on their first hunt.
There were two exciting chases
which lasted for about two hours.
The first fox was struck on the
Souder farm where a good run
was had. Fletcher serving as
Field Master led a large field in
Guiding many members who have
hunted regularly including Mrs.
Jack McGrath, Gordon Keys,
Fred Peterson, Mr.. and Mrs.
George Smith, Mrs. r. f. L.
Smith and her son, Bob.
After the first fox was put to-
ground the hounds were recast
and a new fox was struck and

ever, the Negro teachers did get
their raise in about a year"
There are even fewer cases
now in which the younger Pretty
man must go to court. One OF
the reasons is that the State Con-
stitution has made school funds
"inviolate to suit" The school
system canot be sued.
A parent whose child is in.
jured on school property has no
recourse to sueing the schools.
This roadblock has been circum-
vented by the adoption of volun
tary health insurance for which
parents pay about $1.50 a school
year.
Most of Prettyman's work for
the schools, done on a fee basis,
consists of reviewing building
contracts, condemnation suits
and other requests for legal adj
vice from the school board.
Although Prettyman did not
say so, 1t is true that neither he,
nor his father when ne was
school attorney, has billed the
school board for all of his work.
"a great deal Of this work l con-
slider a privilege to perform"
he said.
The Prettyman family has
been closely associated with law
and education for more than a
century.
The pattern was started around
1850 when Elijah Barrett Pretty
man became principal of the old
Brookeville Academy. He next
became the sixth Clerk of the
Circuit Court in Rockville in 1863
and served for two, four-year
terms.
In 1900, he was appointed

the group, who gave the flag to
the association presided over the
formal ceremonies.

poems, 'The Flag that Can't Be
