One of the‘grand old horsemen of Nova Scotia is Blanchard Bren- ion of Brentwood, Colchester County. who has seen 87 years go by and is still young and vig- orous in outlook and will to work. A highly respected farmer he is also known throughout the Mari- times as a top horseman. For as long as we can remember he has b a familiar figure at shows in Halifax, Fredericton, Amherst, Truro and Charlotte- town and his horses have copped many prizes in bygone days. Last ynr he did not miss one of the programs at the Truro track and saw both Old Home Week and Goodwill races here. Some years ago Mr. Brenton-owned trotters and pacers and one of his great favorites was the dainty little pacer Marion 8. He also owned the valuable brood mare Jwsica, that raised sixteen coils for him. He is a great judge of cattle. Ac- companied by his son-in-law Howard Roper of Beach Hill Farm. Prlnceport, he has pur- chased many milk cows for Am- erican and Canadian -buyers. Our good wishes to Mr. Brenton for continued good health and we hope to see him at Old Home Week again this year.

The stallion Fast Train 2.05 1-2, owned by Vernon Irving, Shediac. N.B.. will arrive here early next week and will be stabled with James Arblng, Passmore Street. He is by Guy Day. da-m Look- sway Girl by Atlantic Express and his breeding is highly regarded. it is the intention to give him a short season in the stud and then place him in training. Many will remember Fast Train when he raced at Charlottetown Old Home Week August 10, 1948. He won the Efree For All Trot from Nell Kai-muck and six others. Nell won the first heat in 2.13 1-5 and Fast Train the next'two in 2.11 4-5 and 2.11 2-5. Later at Covehead he won the first heat of the Free For All Trot in 2.00 4-5 --which is the track trotting re- cord. Nell won the next two huts and race in 2.10 2-5, 2.14 1-5.

I received a copy of the Nova Scotie Game Act recently (Lands and Forests Act). They have put teeth in their Game Act no mis- take about that. Its an offence to discharge firearm or hunt within the boundaries of any common and public highway or within 10:) feet of any such boundary. For the pu-.-. poses of this section the width, of every common highway shall be sixty-six feet.

It is also an offence to discharge a firearm or hunt game within 200 yards of any dwelling house. etc, etc.

With respect tsrhavlng a. load- ed shotgun or rifle in a car Section 138 sub section (5) readsvth-usly: “No person shall carry in or on a waggon. carriage, motorcycle, mot- or vehlcle, or other vehicle, a rifle or shotgun having cartridge or shell

in either the magazine or breech".

Anyone who has any illusions re- garding the game laws not enforc- ed in U. 5. had better read this: In the State of Pennsylvania alone during the months of October and November 1049 over fifty two thousdnd dollars in fines was im- posed for game law violations.

In February issue of Field and stream—Amerlca's No. 1 Sports- man's Magazine I read the follow- ing item. “One of the heaviest fines ever slapped on 9. game- law violator wiis paid by H. Wazrreri Board of West Newton, Massa- chusetts. when Ohio Game Protect- or Irwin Patrick nabbed Beard's hunting party with thirteen hen pheasant, six quoii and one Hun partridge, all protected by law. The bill came to 34.5217."

Presumably the members of this hunting party were men of means. as the majority of U. S. travelling hunters are, nevertheless two hun- dred and twenty-six dollars each for twenty birds is a lot of dough. In the State of Pennsylvania. $25.00 per bird found in poséesion illegally or shot out of season is the minimum rate. In the list of game law convictions I read the following: Hunting between 5.00 pm and 7.00 am $10.00 .. hunting with- out Non-resident license 4 days $200.00 fifty dollars per day oh, boy is that tacking ii: on!

the wonderful truth about lasting life.

Corporation which she found and

pictures made here Technicolor.

“Don't womy. but come to me as soon as you can," my sister, Elean- or Smith. wired. At the time I was in London working out Tech- nicolor problems with one of the British picture corrpanies.

I felt it deep, numbing ‘pang. I knew meanor had been ill some -time. surely this was her gentle way of telling me the end was coming.

I could not picture--or accept it. Always radiating charm. friendli- ness and an inner happinem, my sister had been a. wonderful in- spiration to those close to her. She had that run trait of always giv- ing others a. pat on the back, lift- ing their spirits and sending them off with a fresh outlook on life. When first stricken by the most fearsome of medical enemies, the doctors had told her that her days were numbered. Knowing this had not made the slightest difference in her warm interest in people-- nor in her deep abiding faith in the wonder of God. '

Found Her Jsunty

But now she needed me. I re- turned to the United states and hurried to Eleanor, expecting to find her in bed in great pain. In- stead she was in the living room perched jauntily on the sofa, look- ing more like a school girl of seven- -teen than an incurably ill woman.

"Natalie," she held out her arms joyously. "I'm so happy now that you're here. We have so much to talk over." To anyone listenlr-.g_ I might have dropped in for a casual

After Eleanor had later retired for the night, the doctor drew me aside. “Mrs. Kalmus," he said, "I think that it will be a most try- ing experience for -you if you stay here through to the end. I'm afraid that your sister's last hours will be an agony of pain." Medically I knew he was right. Yet the exquisite radiance I notic- ed in my sis-ter's face seemed some- how to rof1ite'hia statement. The strange feeling swept over me that the strength of my sister's spirit could well triumph over hour pain. During the next few days I dis- covered that Eleanor was doing many things to baffle the do:tors. They were preparing her for some very grim final moments. she was ignoring their solemn suggestiors and remedies. one night she had me sit down an the side of her bed.

"A Beautiful Experience"

"Natalie. promise me that you won't let them give me any drug. I realize that they are trying to help relieve my pain, but I want to be fully aware of every sensation. I am convinced that death will be a beautiml experience." I , Alone later. I wept. thinking of her courswe. Then as I tossed in bed on through the night, I realized that what I look- ed to be a. calamity, my sister in- tended to be a triumph.

one afternoon Elesnor, in the most airy and lighthearted manner, asked several friends to a dinner party which she, on the spur of the omenl. decide‘ to hold. I was stunned. But Eleanor grinned at me imroiahly in high spirits. The sight of the happiness in her face checked my objections. ' on the night of the party Elean- or dressed met‘ ‘ ‘y, conceal- ing the pain I knew she felt. helped her downstairs before guests were to arrive. Sitting in a turquoise chair in her yellow even- ing gown. she sparkled with and gaiety, Again I noticed school girl look on her face.

Her Final Fling

The party was a grand success; -the guests were never once awn of the illness which my sister con- cealed so enpertly. That night, how- ever, when she was carried to bed. her deep plwsical weariness ap- peared on the surface. Then I roll- ized that my sister knew this was -her final fling. She had planned it that way.

Ten days later the finpl, hour drew near. I had been at her bed- side for hours. we had talked about many things, and always I mar- veled at her quiet, sincere con-

the physical torture inside over- come her spiritual strength. This was something that the doctors simply hadn't taken into account.

“Dear kind God, keep my mind clear and give me peace." she had murmured over and over again during those last days.

We had talked so long that I noticed she was drifting off to sleep. I left her quietly with the nurse and retired to get some rest. A few minutes later I heard my sister's voice calling for me. Quick- ly’! returned to her room. she was dy . ‘

I set 0 her bed and took her hand. It was on fire. Then she seemed to rise up in bed almost to a aittliu position.
