great Racing Season Ahead Is Track Talk
Wm;-5 brewing in horse-racing circles for this coming summer? with spring within beckoning distance that”: the question tak- ing form in the minds of thou- sands of Islanders.
The answer?-the most ambit- ion, progranl ever planned by the Charlottetown Driving Park and Exhibition Association. The ad- vertisement which appeared in this paper a few days ago listing 3 number of early closing events 13 just a foretaste of what the coming season holds for horse lovers.
From the night of Saturday, Julie 28th. right on through Ex- hibition week in August and be- yond, the local track will be the
scene of great competition (or gtepped-lip purses. There has been an increase in purses for
most of the events listed for the publicis entertainment.
As early as Friday. July 4th. there will be a Free-For-All Pace under the lights for a purse of si050.00. to be followed the very next night by a Free-For-All Trot, pure 5750.00.
JULY FEATURE
one of the feature events in late July will be a 'l'hree- Year-Old Pace, purse 3750.00. and the Three-Year-Old Trotters will have their chance on August 1st in it s500.00 event. In between of course. during the season of night racing there will be numer- nus other classes for purses ranging up to 5l350.00.
For Exhibition Week the horses will light it out for more than 320,000. on amount which should attmct the best horses in the Exist.
llorst-men and horses. too. more or less hibernate in the winter months, but at the Charlotte- town track these days. there are quite a few drivers and their charges awaiting the day when at'tlvc- training resumes. Besides the irotters and pacers wintering at the Exhibition stables, a nuni- bcr of others are scattered about town in privately owned quarters.
At the oval itself Dr. Seaman's well-equipped stable is still the gathering point ior almost night- ly meetings of the faithful. "Pete" MacKenna, witty and wise con- ditioner of horseflesh, is looking alter the Seaman stable. Among ntlirrs. he has the well-known "Just Brenda". and a highly thought-of two-year-old "Just Pc- tcr."
Not far away "Argot Pointer" owned by Horace Willis, has stall room. He will be rcinem- bi-rcd for his nip and tuck strug- gles with "Will" Hennessey's Cheeky Chief last year.

Causing much talk and con- jecture is the dainty two-yeah old pacer Suffolk Chief. purchas- ed by Mr. G. H. Buntain. at the Harrisburg Sale last autumn. Len 0iMeara also has in charge. Miss Knox, another of Mr. Buntain's stable. -
Likewise catching th track habltees is Mrs. James Poulton's new 2-year-old ”Esso", understood to have been bought at Yonkers, New York. "Esso" is it pacer.
other drivers and owners with horses either stabled at the track. or in the city are Phil Cobb, owner of Lindy I-L, Sam Kennedy with Colonel Looker, Carl Aubrey and Tracey Direct; Roach MacGregor, awaiting race day with New Look. Silk l-lal, Josedale Clipper, and Pet Han- over. .
Roach himself owns New Look. Wendell Barbour shares owner- ship of the "Clipper" with Roy Bevans. and the latter holds Silk Hal and Pet Hanover in his own name.
Austen Tierney is wintering a string which includes Dean Swift (G. H. Buntain), Wayne Budlong and Robin C. Ciegg.
Ike Moreside has a few well- known starters in hand. best known of which are Worthy Ermine, the property of Mrs. Reta Bell, and Eleanor G.. owned'by
eye of
Mrs. Picton Brown. Under its winter blanket or snow the fifty-year-old track is
quietness itself these days but it will be one of the liveliest spots in the province when summer and the tourist season takes over from blustery spring.

TORONTO, 0nt., Feb. 23 - The invigorating Canadian busi- ness climate was hailed Thursday as a major factor in the tremend- cus post-war expansion of Procter and Gamble Company pf Canada. Lid., by W. E. Williams. Presi- dent, at the dedication of the com- pany's new Canadian headquar- ters, iaeo Yonge street.
”Since the war." he said, "we have reinvested every cent made in Canada in the form 0! addi- tional plant and office facilities During that same period. our an- nual payroll has tripled our investment has tripled - and our number of employees has doubl- ed."
Mr. Williams cited the modern,
three-quarter million dollar oi- iice building as "a major for- ward move in our Canadian growth and another stepping stone on the road of Canadian pro- ,i:ress." This construction follows a series of multi-million dollar
developments undertaken by the company, the nation's largest manufacturer in its field, since 1946. .
some 200 Canadian and U. 5. government, business and civic leaders attended the dedication which was followed by a luncheon at the Granite Club. The Honor- able Walter E. Harris, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, re- presenting the Canadian Govern- ment. congratulated the company

OSLO, Feb. 2:-(CF)-Canada tonight won the
gold-medal victory for Canada in the winter games -- with a 3-3 tie final game with the United States.
The tie was enough Canada on top of the nine-couh- try standing but it broke a seven-game winning streak the
Canadians had. nourished from the start of the round-robin series.
The tying goal came scarcely two minutes from the end of the game when the United states tossed in desperate power plays. The draw gave the United States second place. A loss would have dropped that country to fourth.
