(5) In the event a horse fails
to get up to the moving
gate by the time it reaches
a specified position ahead
of the starting point.
Regulations set up by the
United States Trotting Associa-
ton specify that the vehicle will
maintain certain speeds as it ap-
proaches the starting point. In
order to increase the speed of the
gate gradually, the regulations
state that as the starting gate is
drawn toward the starting point
the minimum speed for the first
1-8 mile will be not less than III
miles per hour; for the next 1-16
of a mile not less than 18 miles
per hour; and from that point to
the starting point the speed will
be gradually increased to maxi
mum.
In order to help spectators
identify horses warming up dur
ing the racing program, colored
saddle cloths corresponding to
certain races are worn by all
horses
BY looking in the race pro-
gram for the color of a particular
race and by observing the horses
number, the spectator can iden-
tify each horse warming up. This
is helpful because most horses
are warmed up several races
prior to the one In which they
are entered.

Girl Deputy Is On Target

Five shots later, the shapely

Martha Elizabeth Pitts is Ala
bama's modern, Southern version
of the Wild Vests shootingest
gal, Annie Oakley.
AS secretary-deputy for Dali
las County Sheriff Jim Wood, the
20-year-old Miss Pitts spends
most of her time in the office as
secretary and receptionist.
But as the county's only wom-
an deputy, Miss Pitts puts some
of the men to shame on the firing
range.
During the two years she has
served on the sheriff's force, Miss
Pitts has practiced in private with
her pistols and rifles. She prefers
rifles, especially .22-caliber mod
els = the main provision being
that the gun doesn't kick or re-
coil much.
She holds a membership in the
Alabama Sheriffs and Peace Off
GERS Assn. and Auxiliary and the
Alabama Sheriffs Assn.
Miss Pitts popularity at social
events has obviously not been
hurt by her reputation with a gun.

HARNESS RACING
by
X ENT SUSSEX

To the average harness race
fan at the Kent and Sussex
Raceway in Harrington, the
finish of a race is the most thrill
ing and, in some instances, the
most rewarding phase of the
event
On the other hand, to track
officials and the drivers the start
of the race is equally as impor-
tant- This important phase OF
the race is the responsibility OF
an official appropriately desig-
mated as the Starter.
Contrary to flat racing where
the race is begun from a standing
start with each horse occupying
a separate stall or section of the
gate, the harness race is begun
from a moving start. The start
ing gate is connected to the rear
of a vehicle which moves at
regulated and increasing speed
toward the starting point.
It is the duty of the Starter to
see that the drivers place their
horses in the proper position be-
hind the moving gate and main
tain this position until the start
ing point is reached.
IF the horses reach the start
ing point in proper position and
on gait (that is trotting or pacing
depending upon the type of race)
then the Starter says go" and
the vehicle bearing the starting
gate speeds up to get out of the
path of the racers.
When the horses reach the
starting point in anything other
than a proper start, the Starter
sounds a recall and the horses
are returned to attempt a proper
start.
The Starter may sound a re-
call for the following reasons:
ID A horse gets ahead of the
gate.
(2) There is interference be-
tween horses or sulkys.
(3) A horse has broken equip
ment.
(4) A horse falls before the
word "go" is given

Harness race drivers range In
age from 18 to well over 70 years
of age. A recent survey covering
the 35 top ranking drivers in
each of the past ten years shows
that the successful driver of to-
day averages 80 years of age.
In order to obtain a license
enabling him to drive at recog-
nized pari-mutuel tracks, the
would-be driver must be 18 years
old. After demonstrating ability
in accordance with qualifications
set by the US. Trotting Associa-
ton and the various state regula-
tory bodies. the applicant is
issued a provisional license. He
carries this for a year or until he
has 25 starts at a recognized
track, when he is then issued a
regular license.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Gov
John Patterson has called on Con-
gress to set up program provid-
ing health and medical care fer
persons in the 65-and-over age
group
While attending the National
Governors Conference last week
Gov. Patterson joined with other
governors in petitioning Congress
to enact a medical care plan for
the elderly. The governors asked
Congress to pass such a law be-
fore adjourning this summer.
Congress recessed this week fol
the Democratic and Republican
National Convention but recon-
venes Aug. 8 to wind up the years
business.
Gov. Patterson said Congress was
asked to provide health and med
ical care benefits for elderly cit
liens through two methods: first.
amending the Social Security Act
SO as to provide, in effect, health
insurance; and secondly, author
izing Federal grants for those not
covered by social security.
In addition to Gov. Patterson, %
other governors - including Ten
nessee Gov. Buford Ellington and
Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus -
signed the Congressional petition.
It was sent to Sen. Harry F. Byrd,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee.
"The most pressing problem
faced by our old folks today is
the financing of adequate health
and medical care" Gov. Patterson
said. 81 sincerely hope that Con-
gress faces up to this problem and
sets up a health insurance plan
in this session"
All the nations governors, meet
ing in annual conference at Mon
tana's Glacier National Park, went
on record in support of health and
medical care for the aged. BY
resolution, they urged Congress tc
pass the necessary legislation
without delay.
The governors took note of the
fact that many senior citizens do
not have sufficient funds to take
care of their own medical needs.
"There is no denying that our
old folks need protection during
their retirement years when their
medical needs are likely to be the
greatest and their income the low
est" Gov. Patterson said. 81 hope
Congress now provides them the

Women Seen
Most In N Iced
OF PayFIoor

Women workers would benefit
most from a new minimum wage
of $1.25 an hour and extension of
coverage to several million more
workers, an AFL-CIO Industrial
Union Dept. speaker told delegates
to conference celebrating the
40th anniversary of the founding
of the Labor Depths women's bu-
reau.
"The AFL-CIO," said Mrs. Es-
Their Peterson, legislative repre-
sentative for the IUD, "has asked
Congress to increase the wage
minimum from 81 to $1.25 an hour,
and to extend coverage to rs mil
lion more workers.
"This would mean a better liv-
ing standard for single women,
possibly new dress once a year.
For many a married woman with
dependent children, it could mean
better fed and clothed family"
Mrs. Peterson made these other
points: Most of the "a million wo-
men in the u. S. labor force are
married and work more from ne
cessity than choice; they fill many
lower paid jobs, and must depend
on federal law to lift their status;
state minimum wage laws are lit
tie help to most women workers.
Labor Undersec. James T. o.
Connell told the conference that
the number of women workers will
increase from about "a million to
80 million by 197O-an increase of
rs percent while male workers IN
crease by an estimated Is percent.
A panelist on the same program
with O'Connell was Pres. Howard
Coughlin of the Office Employees.
