Raying Guest, f&d Old Dom. "From the time he was a mere boy until 1027, Hayhurst was associated with racing on the English turf.

"After the death of his father, as the result of a spill in a jumping race, lite little Englishman came to America and \yent to work for the Whitney stables. That was in 1927, and the following year he was In a train wreck that all but cost Rim his life. He was so severely injured he spent most of the next four years In a hospital. "It wasn't until about four years ago that Hayhurst got his first break. Mrs. Sinclaire needed an experienced steeplechase trainer to condition some of her novice jumpers for a coming hunt meeting on her big ranch at Larkspur, Colo. Willie got the Job and won the amateur feature with his little throdghbred in a med Noctlon. "He persuaded Mrs. Sinclaire to let him take Noction east for big time competition and in nine starts Noction won four victories over the hedges on major eastern tracks.

I "Although Door Mark is the star! of the stables and the top contender for tiie Grand National, his owner lias never seen him. Hayhurst claimed Door Murk at Empire last fall lor $2.0uu shortly before shipping to Caliente.

These taxes are used to support the School Aid Fund, and to help pay the costs of government in cities and towns in 46 South Carolina counties. The State returned to the Middle Country Section in 19-11 a total of $87,912 in beer taxes, to be used for government costs in thirteen counties. That was the Middle Country's share ... the Piedmont and others benefited in proportion. That's one way that legal beer and ale helped South Carolina in 1941. Since beer has been legal, it has meant more than $15,000,000 in tax revenue to the State; more than 3,500 honest jobs with an annual payroll of $3,500,000 . . . spent with South Carolina merchants for food and clothing and homes. Who'd provide these jobs if J?eer were not legal? Who'd pay the taxes? Where would the Middle Country get this extra government income? YOU'D have to dig down deeper ... if it were not for legal beer! SOUTH CAROLINA IIEEIt WHOLESALERS ASSOCIATION
