inceliiic wt-re sent to fllle(ll1L1'aCk,s' ui five states on Thurs-day by Donald W. MCFafla1lF. general counsel to the Wolverine Raceway of Detroit. The ostensible purpose of the gathering is to form an autonomous organization within the United States Trotting Associ- iitioii, vthich is the recognized supervisory body for harnus rac- ,iIl;'. Si-lokesiiien for the pani-mut- uel tracks have indicated, how- ever, that they were seeking to police themselves and to curtail the itvzulatoizv powers of the trot tiiu; association.

speaking at the meeting of the ;New Eiiglaiid 1-lorsemeiiis Associ- ;ation held ll Boston, Dori. R. Mil- lar, executive vice-president of the Uiiited suites Trotting Associat. ion, stated that the past year was the greatest single season in the history of the trotting and pacing sport and it saw over 13,000 horses going to the starting post. but he expected that 1054 would find that figure exceeded.

Bob Ryan. the veteran Houlwn. Maine. reinsinan, well known in the Maritlmes. who suffered I broken hip in an accident at Yonkers Raceway last fall, was present at the meeting of the Maine Horsemerrs Association. Bob was on orvutches but stated that he has recovered sufflclehtly tobe able to take up trainlngactivitiies again. He is feeding ten head for the coming season with Colonel Dan 2.06 3.15. .loLlity Girl 3, 2.07. and Lusty's Galelly Girl 3, 2.13 the leading members. In his stable is what some norsemen consider as one of the top two-year-olds ever trraiiied in Maine. namely the pac- ing filly Mighty Sweetheart, a daughter of Nlbble Hanover 1.561.; and Mighty Sweet 2. She is owned by William Cheney of Whslen. Maine, several of Bob! candidates are by Lusty Frisco 2.071,; who is still aefrlvoand strong despite the fact that he is asyeara old. He is the last son of San Francisco 2.071. that is in stallion service.

Th:-ir game basket was an in- between size slightly smaller then the half bushel baskets of todav. At day's end it was gens-gally packed to the brim, or rounded up. with woodcock. snipo and grouse. Sometimes a black duck would be added to the collection. As a rule woodcock predmnlnated in the days kill, They both loved hunt- ing woodcock..

It was with this hunting back- zround. iii an age when game was 1).'onlifi1l and hunt:-rs a minority group. that dad bought me my first shotgun. It was a twist burrcl ldoublc hammer 10 guage of Be!- gian make with E. Johahnson to Sun inscribed on the lock. I felt as if I owned the world and Mark and Luke. the Horton twins; were no longer the objects of envy they roamed the cut-overs ar;-j' swales in quest of pat'rid:e with their single barrcllcd muzzln lo crs in hand and box of caps jangliiig in their pockets.

It was about this time that. Jaitk. my Jack. dropped into my life like .. imii from the blue. on s lat.- summer evening when the setting sun dimpled the waters of the old home lake nestled in the spruce lwarr-in to the soutli and a vagrant breeze whispered in the leaves of the heavy birch grove that shelt- ered the homestead to the north. my dad drove into tlhe yard on return from town and a dog hop- ped out of the wagon. It was a black and white Springer Spaniel bhrce or four months old.

Hr was a stranger in strange surroundings and felt and looked the part. After a few moments he hnsitantly walked over to me and two soft brown eyes set in u freckled. spotted face gazed steadily into mine. He must have been encouraged by what he saw for his bushy three-quarter tal! began to wag , . .he was my dog from that day on. I named him Jack after Uncle Willie's black dog. I do not think he was a pure bred Springer and that somewhere along the line a slight cross had crept in. I mentioned it at the time, I never forgot father's rc- mark: "Don't worry about that. He's a good dog” How true it was.

Jack was my shadow. Where I went he want if it were physically possible. Whother to the field to plough, or infield to hunt. thoshot- gim. Jack and I made a trio. Early in life I learned the in- estlmable value of a good hiinL:ng dog when game was to be retrieved whether dead or alive.

largely due to the important role played by this country in world affairs through the Un-lt&dNa.tions and the Colombo Plan. The opin- ion was expressed here yesterday by Mr. Lewis Perinbam, secretary of the World University Service.

The visitor. whose home is in Malaya in the Far East, said the Colombo Plan seeks to aid under- veloped areas on the basis of equal partnership. He gives a great deal of credit for Canaldals favorable position to the leadership provided in world affairs by Hon. Lester Pearson, whose efforts, he states, are a. considerable factor in in- creasing Canad-a's influence.

Fuduo Andi Campanella Sign contracts

NEW YORK. (AP)--Carl Furilln, National League batting champ, signed his 1954 Brooklyn cnntrnc: yesterday, crossed his fingers and said: .

"Here's hoping for another good

year... Thus within less than 24 hours the Dodgers reached contract

agreements with the batting cham- pion and the league's most vil- uable player, catcher Roy Cam- panel-la.

Both got substantial raises. Like the rest of hhe major-league base- ball cluihs the Dodgers donlt an- nounce salaries, but it was learned reliably that Cstmpunella got 11 86.000 raise to About 532.000 and Furillo I boost of about 85.000 to 8

77.500.

Flirlllo said he named his price xnd got substantially what he asked.

"With sacrifice files not muni-

lng against you. I ought to do pretty good again." he said. re- ferring tn the nr-w scoring rule

which counts any fair fly ball that drives in a run as a sacrifice, "My ayes are fine and my wrist feels like new. I'm not sayinl! I'll win the titln again but I'll euro give it a. good try."

Furlllo hit .344 in 1951 and it re- check of the box st-ores showed he would have been the champ even if the sacrifice rule had hr-en in effect. He broke his wrist in a fight at the Polo Grmmds r-arty In September and missed the last three weeks of the season.

"I'll guarantee you I won't do any fighting nt-xi. son.-zou." Filfllili said, "11 stick to baseball.”

A persistent siiowsi.tirni driven by winds which at times reached gale proportions brought traffic to an almost complete standstill throughout the Province yesterday

Approximately seven inches of snow fell and was piled into heavy drifts by a steady 45 miles per hour wind that at times had gusts reaching '10 miles.
