HoweV' er, they plan to bring much of their stock here once the MOVE ti two farms are completed. Why did they decide on 0ae By JEAN REIMAN Sentinel Staff There are "his and her" towel sets, shirts and even cars, but it took Fred and Laura Hooper to come up with a "his and her" horse farm program which includes not only two separate farms, but also separate barns, tracks and HOOPER IS a building contractor whose interests have stretched throughout seven Southeastern states for the past 35 years. His interest in horses started with standard breds, and the first horse the Georgia-born contractor bought was one bred by Carl Rose in Ocala.

Originally named Prince, he changed the name to Royal Prince when the horse won 44 out of 55 races he entered. IN 194J he was in South Carolina for a rest from the pressures and demands of a wartime building boom. Telling his attractive wife, Laura, that he was going to run over to Lexington for the sales just to see what was happening, he ended up buying several of the thoroughbreds being auctioned. One of these he named Hoop, his son's nickname, and when Hoop Jr. won the Kentucky Derby in 1945 Hooper was in Thoroughbred racing for keeps.

Never before had an owner's first horse won the Derby, and as Hooper continued to study blood lines, horses and racing he be-c a increasingly convinced that the serious horseman must do his own breeding, too, to accomplish what he wanted in horse quality. PETITE, BRUNETTE Laura smiles indulgently when he introduces her as "my daughter" since they have a 27-year-old son in Montgomery who manages their farm there, and a daughter in her 20s who also is interested in horses. They have 42 head at the Montgomery ranch, but much of the 5,000 acres they own there is inside of the town.

So, whatever the fashions be ten years from now, always keep one thing in mind: don yourself with those styles most flattering to you.

What you wear should only enhance that individual charm and mystery that is all your very own. Miss Bernadette Castro, a senior at the University of Florida, speaks on "what will women be wearing ten years from now" for the Thanksgiving edition. Miss Castro, tagged as the most televised girl in the United States because of her daily appearances on commercials for the Castro Convertible furniture since she was only four years old, has of necessity, been "fashion conscious" most of her life.

For casual wear, you can rely on the short hemline: about two inches above the New Home of knee. HOWEVER, FORMAL HORNE BROS. attire will swine to the other extreme: floor-length gowns.

This trend seems the most obvious, for even today there has been an overwhelming acceptance of the long hostess gown.

If- lit i- SHADYlAD, QCAU, FLORIDA Discovery of Dorchester Prep perks up the imagination and piques the curiosity. Owners who have had a horse raised in the Dorchester manner find it hard to understand why someone hasn't started an operation such as ours long before this.

Even the diehards who laughed at our ideas and asked if we thought our methods would make a horse run any faster are now sending horses to the school. Almost every day we are asked why everyone doesn't follow our lead; it seems so logical: Commercial farms use the old methods because it is profitable and many owners are satisfied to raise potential derby winners like cattle. Furthermore, a laboratory such as ours is too expensive for the average farm and a commercial laboratory isn't always readily accessible. It would have been easier and much more profitable for us to go along with the old methods, but we felt there was a better way and we were determined to try to raise sounder horses by putting every possible modern technique to work for us. We were fortunate to find enough far-sighted owners who had faith in our scientific approach to establish our first class in 1964, and now that we have graduated our second class, both the owners and we are convinced that the Dorchester way is the only way to raise young horses.

Our automated equipment saves us time and the hours we save are devoted to schooling our pupils. Our laboratory is equipped with the most modern equipment available and it is under the direction of a highly skilled technician. We're still being asked if our methods will make a horse run any faster. The answer is no, because we can't instill heart in a pupil. But WE CAN GUARANTEE THAT HE WILL BE BETTER EDUCATED AND MORE SOUND and if he does have a competitive spirit, he's bound to be a good horse for we will have given him every opportunity to develop his potential to the fullest.
