Ontario Government Biologists are frankly worried. I talked to s number at the two Conferences recently concluded at Montreal nod they figure their Huns re- ceived a serious setback at a time when their peak population was attracting a large number of U. s hunters across the border. in certain sections of their province the Huna were about as plenti- ful as they were here in the late

1ll.'i0's and early forties. I was told -

the Ontario Huns received a sim- ilar setback some years ago but recovered so quickly everyone was amased. Whether this por- tends an increased influx of hun- ters to this province during the coming season remains to be seen. 3 O O

George Smith. well known blacksmith and harness horse en- thusiast of Hunter River. has very kindly brought us a poster that had been on a stable wall at Heber Weeks'. Fredericton. P.E.I. since 1900. One of the rea- sons it was kept was that Park- wood. 2.29'la. whose picture ap- pears on it together with his breeding and other particulars. was much admired by the Weeks family. The poster gives his breeding as seven years old. by Hernando 2.80Vs. His sire. Park- slde. has been imported by the late W. A. Brennan from Cali- fornia and Hernando was a fam- ous trotting stallion that had been a participant in the Hernando- Black Pilot race in Summeraide in the 1881's. Parkwood was a very beautiful bay horse weigh- ing ovar 1.150 pounds. was the winner of four first prizes at

A friend sent him a copy of our Harness Rac- ing Review and Lindsay writes: "It made me dizzy reading of all the horses and so many of them with marks lower than 2.10. The Maritimes must be a big market for breeders across the line. al- though 1 notice there are quite a number of the horses locally bred and a large numbe of names of Cape Breton owners and drivers. I am glad to see that Mike Ja- balee is still in the racing game. The first horse he raced was one which I bred and held over until I returned from World War 1. However. at that time she was five years old, a beautiful car- riage more but not fast enough to win much money. Her dam was by Brazilian and she was bred by one of the Prowse's of Murray Harbor. She was a great ice race mare but a bit too tem- peramental for scoring on the track. She took a mark of 2.28.

"I bred her to Frank Redding's stallion. Leland 2.10. The paper will give pleasure to three other friends. two of them are Pat White. Kellogg. Idaho. and John- ny Lowell in Torrence. Calif.

Campus Ban

SEATTLE (AP) -Seven scien- tists. holding that the University of Washington has placed itself "outside the community of schol- ars" by banning Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer from the campus. have forced cancellation of a scientific conference.

The action of the seven was dis- closed Wednesds when the uni- versity department of hlochem announced that a "sym- posum on the molecular basis of enzyme action" would not be held here April 7-8 as planned.

The seven scientists. all Ameri- cans. signed a joint letter telling the university of their stand. An eighth. from Canada, wrote a sep- arate letter of refusal.

More than 510 scientists from many parts of the .country had been expected to attend the con- ference which the seven were to attend as guest lecturers. An an- nouncement by the department calling off the meeting said "speakers for the symposium have expressed unanimously their un- willingness to-participate in any official action of the university" as a result of the Oppenheimer ban.

NOT BEST INTERESTS

Oppenheimer had been sched- uled to appear at Washington this spring as a guest lecturer in physics. Dr. Henry Schmilz .the University president, then an- nounced that 0ppenheimer's ap- pearance would not be in the best interests of the university. He said the decision was not based on Op- penheimer's scientific qualifica- tions but his personal qualifications as an individual.

Oppenheimer was denied access last year to United States govern- ment atomic secrets on security grounds.

An eighth scientist scheduled to lecture at the conference. Charles S. Hanes, professor of biochem istry at Toronto. also notified the university he had simila reasons for not wishing to attend.

Meanwhile. the Seattle Post- Intelllgencer says it was told by Oppenheimer in a phone conver- sation from Princeton. N.J.. that he did not know he was being con- sidered for the lectureship until after the ban against him was an- nounced.

She is eligible to.tl1e 2.16 class. on July 4 at Richelieu Park. she headed a good fields winning in 2.10 and she appears to be cap- able of a mile in that time over any good track. Moriell Woody is a 10-year-old pacer by Walter Elworthy. She took her record in 1953 and last year won 32.425. Her all time winnings are 87,118 and she is eligible to the 2.17 class. Our congratulations to Sammy and we are confident he will have a lot of pleasure out of his new acquisitions.
