A NY RIDER, no matter how skillful.
IA must expect some day to come to
grief in the hunting field, where there
usually is a mad scramble over jumps in
following the hounds.
Even SO skilled horsewoman as Mrs.
John F. Kennedy, wife of the President, has
gotten "worm's-eye" view of the hunting
field. And riders who have had the expe-
rience, will tell you that a horse looks
mighty big from a prone position. You
pray that he'll have that extra push to
clear both the fence and you who are lying
beneath it.
So that you might experience some of

the thrills that come to a downed rider in

Baker spent a recent Saturday with the
Loudoun Hunt But instead of pursuing the
fox from the back of a horse, he stationed
himself in the position of a fallen rider
beneath a fence.
And armed with a Leica camera
equipped with an extreme wide-angle lens.
Mr. Baker waited his chance. It came late
in the afternoon when Julie Taylor and
frankie Epps, two young members of the
field, took their horses over the fence and

the kindness of the animal, while others
insist that instinct makes horse extremely
careful of his feet and will cause him to go
to great pains to keep from stepping on an
unusual object, be it stone or fallen rider.
But this knowledge is cold comfort to

is always that thought that a horse may
forget his instinct, or may slip or stumble,

Nestled among the rolling

There are SO box stalls, each

right when a horse canters on
it and you can't hear it,, said
Mr.. John c. K. Ship, the exec.

ganiZation. The basic ground
substance of the ring is chiefly
river bottom sand. To this is
added sawdust plus very little
calcium chloride.
The Center, started in the
Spring of 1862, was constructed
to seat 300 spectators. This area
is built over the top of the box
stalls, and extends the length
of the ring. On the opposite
side of the balcony type spec

very plush, and glass enclosed.
Mr.. Harting's wife, Claire, a

Council Outlines
New Law Proposals

County Councilmen this week
approved a list of proposals they
will ask the county's state Of
ficials to consider when the
Legislature convenes in early
January.
The proposals will be made at
a joint Council-Legislative Dele
cation meeting scheduled Mon
day in the Council Chamber.
Councilmen sidestepped for
the time being some controver-
sial suggestions for legislation
presented last week by the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and
the Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission.
The suggestions presented by
these groups will get more
study by the county officials be-
fore they officially take a posi-
ton. There were indications the
Council will comment on these
recommendations before action
in Annapolis.
County proposals included:
1. A bill to permit state aid
to INDECENT patients whose ILL.,
nesses require disqualification
outside the state, primarily in
the District.
County Attorney told the
Council that as things stand,
Montgomery Countians who
must go out of state for treat.
ment must be supported by
county funds. If the treatment
takes place within the county,
the state pays up to 80 per cent.
2. A bill outlawing the play
ing Of pinball machines by Coun-
tians under the age of 16 or 18.
The bill was proposed by the
County Juvenile Bureau as a
precautionary measure to keep
youngsters out of businesses
housing the machines since
most also sell alcohol.
3. A bill empowering the

ladies who come for riding and
training instruction.
Another identical sized area
adjacent to the lounge is used
for a library and lecture room.
Also in this room baby sitting
services are provided for
mothers who have subscribed
to a special Wednesday class.
Instruction levels at the
Center range from child be-
ginners to very severe Olym-
pic training. "At the Center
we don't let people rent a
horse for an hours ride. We
encourage instruction for the
rider, and training for the
horse. We even give scholar
ships" Ship said.
In explaining the scholarships
he said that the instructors at
the Center are prepared to take
very high quality horses for
free training, in preparation for
International events and the
Olympic Games. 1t takes years
to prepare a horse for the Olym-
pics. Combined training" Mr..
Harting's major interest, means
the demonstration of the COM
plete horse, the phrase used to
describe the Olympic games.
The training ultimately teaches
the horse obedience and bold
ness, and in his training endur-
ance and fitness are exercised
to full capacity.
At the Potomac Horse Center,
there is an out door dressage
area, Olympic size and absolute

Importance in teaching the horse

4. A bill to reduce the maxi

ations to Montgomery County.
Such a bill would make more

Syphilis
UpIn State,
Down Here

Reappearance of syphilis
has developed as a major
public health problem" in
Maryland, the State Health
Department warned this
week, as county authorities
kept their fingers crossed in
their apparently winning
battle against the disease
following a shocking out
burst two years ago.
State officials expressed par
aicular concern over the in
crease of syphilis among teen
ayers, noting that a 1859 total
of 4S cases in this class jumped
to 129 in 1861. For persons of
all ages, their report said, the
total increased from 25S cases
in 1859 to $40 last year.
DIR. William Peoples, coun.
ty health officer, said his
office had no immediate
breakdown on local cases with
respect to teenagers and
adults, although he said II
has been established that
more than 80 per cent Of the
county's cases involve '.young
adults"
While cases in the county
jumped from a mere three in
1859 to 63 in 1861, DR.. Peoples
pointed out, the odd year
figures fail to point out that
they scared to a jolting Ill in
1860. AS a result of an exten.
sive health department cam.
paign, the cases were cut almost
in half in the following year.
While current totals were not
available, he said the years
average is well below that of a
year ago.
While the number of cases
were sharply reduced in the
county following the 1860 out
break, DR.. Peoples said, his de
partment is working continuous
ly in an effort to eliminate the
disease. Zone of our problems
among teenagers appears to be
educational" he said, land we
are working on a program in
tended to reach those of schoo
age"
During the 1860 Outburst,
DIR. Peoples said, a vast ma
jority of the cases were In the
northern portion of the coun-
ty and most Of them affected
Negroes.

tons. Also a blacksmith shop,
a shop for purchasing eques-
trian needs, and gymnasium
with a steam room are pro-
jects in the making.
Presently as horses are being
boarded and schooled at the
Center. Miss Susan Barrett, an
Irish girl, is superintendent of
the stable and heads a staff of
five stable boys who care for
the horses now stabbed there.
To board horse in "high STYLE"
which includes daily grooming,
feeding, and mucking stalls,
costs Sis a month. Also in
cluded in this fee are tack room
facilities, i.e., bride and saddle
racks and locker space. Y
A lower boarding fee of SIS
is charged for feeding and stall
cleaning only, with no fringe
benefits.
A visit to the center is most
impressive. First of all by the
immaculate order of equipment
and organization. Secondly,

Miss Suzanne Cove. an Eng
lish girl who has been in the
States for the past five years,
and Jerry Baker, are the
senior resident instructors. Miss
Cove is the leading lady rider
of America in combined train
ing, and is also an expert in
dressage. Mr.. Baker has studied
three years in Berlin and is also
a dressage expert. Mrs. Jane
Jackson, Washington, D. c., is
a senior instructor who studied
in England and completed the

Col. w. Zgorgelski, referred
to around the Center as 1.-THE
Colonel" is the chief resident
instructor. A Polish gentleman,
he has trained successfully in
Poland, Uruguay, Ireland, Ar
gentina and England. He has
also been an Olympic team com
petitor.
These well qualified instruc-
