kindly sent us the following - - - During Earls Avery's recent visit to Woodstock we were fortunate to get the Grand Circuit Trainer- Driver alone for half an hour and obtain a Iew fac s interesting to us all. Earle wii again train in Florida and expects to have south the following: for the account of Pleasantdale Farms of C. T. Black, Berryville. Virginia, his leading patron-Major I-lal 2.01 W5. Jean Chief 2.05 U5. Betty French 21! W5. Sally Fingo 2. 213 N5 and the two-year-olds, Watchim's Daughter, Bonnie Fin- go. Jane Fingo and Hasty Fingo. For David Blair of Deal, N. .l., Earls will have a 2-year-old by Dominion Grattan. His yearlings will comprise the following: for Simson Bros. of Bridgewater. Me., he will have Hunts Hanover by Ensign Hanover; for Mr. Black's account he will have Victory Man by Hoot Man: for Mrs. Black. Bert Fingo; for C. W. Knibb of Providence. R. I.. the filly Buena Hanover by Dean Hanover; also for Mr. Black, the yearling. Wat- chim's Ollie.

For Earle's own account Uhleen Fingo. whose mother and grand- mother Earle campaigned so suc- cesslully a few years ago-they

were sisters to Uhl Abbe 2.08 (I5 3:300

and Miss Uhleen Volo, who fans will remember on our circuit. For theljoint account of Earle and H. M. Fry of New York. he has that sensational trotter of last win- ter's training colony, Fez Rose- croft. This horse is one of the best trotters Earle has ever band- led and he and Mr. Fry refused several tempting offers for him and as is so often the case under these circumstances. the horse went laml: fortunately it was not of a permanent nature and he is now reported sound and ready to train. With no further misfortune we will hear more of this one a few months from now.

It. certainly is gratifying to his many friends to see his marked ability recognized by so many prominent owners. We all knew that Earle could handle a horse to perfection and go a short mile but this recognition of his colt training ability is a direct result of his outstanding successes with the get of Pleasantdale Farms and others that he took green, broke, trained and drove to re-

Minor League. Hockey p Program Begins Tonight

The minor league hockey pro-

' gram. under the organization of

the Abogwlet club and assisted by several other organizations, will commence at the Form this even- ing wlth games between teams in the same age brskets.

The evening's activities will. get underway at six o'clock with the pa-perweights taking to the ice. The authorities expect. that there will be about 12 teams in this age braket. They will have the use of the ice for one hour.

At seven o'clock the pee-wees will workout and it is expected that there wil be twelve teams of them. From eight to nine it will be the bantams with between :0 and 12 teams of players in act- 0

n.

The midgets a.re expected to of-art play t-bout. 9.30 and remain on the ice for one hour. All boys of Juvenile age will turn out at 10.30.

All teams must be on the ice at the appointed times and the players should all be in the rink at least 20 minutes before they are to go on the ice.

Freetown. P.E.l. who has had an eniry.in R.0.P. for some years. and sued by Barred Rock R.0.P. Approved cockerels produced by W. J. MacDonald and Son, Cove- head Road. P.E.l.

The Burns strain of New Hamp- ahires are excellent egg producers as shown by R.O.P. records. They are fairly good meat type. the males showing well developed breasts for the breed. -

The MacDonald strain of Bar- red Rocks are also good ess pro- ducers as well as being of ex- cellent meat type.

The above purebred strains have been used for the produc- tion of crossbred chicks for sev. eral years. the progeny develop- ing into good egg producers and excellent meat birds. The two Slljaini. when mated. appear to "nick". lziving to the progeny the characteristics of their parents to DFOGUC0 eggs in quantity and meat of the highest quality.

In the production,. of birds to secure the top award at the R0- y-Il Winter'Fair. the breeding be- hind the stock. although playing an important part. is not every- thing. The art of feeding to grow and finish birds of the highest quality is also most important.

However. it birds do not pos- sess that inherited ability to make use of good feeding and minaitment methods. they will not. even with the best. of care, develop into birds of top quality such as the birds winning the Championship Award at the Ho- yal. The box was the pro- duct of the R.O.P. breeding and showed the results of the art of feeding and management by Dingwell MacLeod.

"l have pleaded on many oc- casions in this House for an in- crease in the amount paid to railway and other pensioners who are on a starvation allowance for the rest. of their days. I could not get even a dollar for them. and I think that the government is making a mistake in voting thousands of dollars to men who now have high salaries. '

"They should give the money to the men who need it at this time. They should pay it out of their wonderful 3600 million surplus. These men who are in a difficult position these days should be given consideration as well as those who now hold high positions such as civil service commissioners."

Earlier in the day. Mr. McLure sided with Conservative mem- bers from Ontario and British Columbia in opposing the Gov- ernmen-t's policy of knocking out the word "Dominion" from Cans- dian statutes.

"rho word "dominion" wss ac- ceptable to the Fathers of Con- federation and of all the pre- vinces whether they joined the union in IN! or 1073". Mr. Mc- Dure said. "it is a word with a fine tradition behind it. it has Always been good enough and is still good enough for the people of Prince Edward island and it certainly is good enough for me," he told the House.

pocket. All went well until her Ludyship decided it tasted so good she'd sample one of his fingers. They've got sharp teeth. every bit as sharp as s rabbits. for like a rabbit. they eat browse when the snow covers the succulent grasses and other forms of vegetation. For all their apparent friendliness they weren't taking any chances. if one model a quick move or at- tempted to lay hantu on one it was ten feet away in a single bound. We were rather surprised to learn that there was only one buck in the lot and he was the puniest member of the herd.

As we walked to where the car was parked night shadows were beginning to fall. the snow sang a frosty tune beneath our boots and our cheeks and cars tlngled as the thermometer dropped swiftly. A cold night was in prospect but we had no fears for the welfare of these four footed aliens to our shores. They'd be as warm and comfortable bedded down in a snowy thicket as we would be un- der blankets in a heated house. Mother Nature looks after her children in her own way-n. way that makes us poor humans with all our scientific knowledge. sit up and wonder.

This is the season of the year when one. if he is so minded. can take stock of how many pheasants. Huns, Ruffed grouse. etc. have come through the hunting season and ascertain what our prospects of sport with any particular spec- ies are for the hunting in 1952. A fresh fall of snow makes a ready blackboard. one doesn't have to see the live bird or animal to know that it is somewhere in the vicinity if its footprints are visible.

The hunters-who expressed a fear when the pheasant season was announced. October lat. till November llth. that it was too long and would result in this spec- les being shot out. or nearly so, had their worries for naught. There are lots of pheasants left. Even in several heavily hunted areas it's not unusual to see as many as five cocks in one bunch.

Last week a farmer confided to me that he had two covey's of pheasants on his farm and he didn't think there was a bird shot out of either.

He was quite positive that a flock of 12 at the rear of his property was intact but wasn't so sure a a covey of eight or nine at the front. of his farm hadn't. lost one of its members. Another farmer in the Royalty expressed surprise that a bird so highly coloured and large as a cock pheasant could hide so easily and effectively. He stated that the birds in his dis- trict. desplte heavy hunting by both resident and nonresident gunners. were not only holding their own but actually increasing in numbers.

Evidence keeps piling up that the pheasant is far from being a desirable character. Within a week

Eight Cleveland Players in Army

CLEVELAND. Dec. l4-(AP) - Cleveland Indians may have fin- ished second in the American League, butthey are way out in front of the American League in contributions to the military.

When rookie catcher Hal Nara- gon reported for induction Tues- day, it brought to eight the num- ber of the Cleveland players now in the armed forces.

There now are 29 American Leagucrs in military service. The Indiana eight equals the com- :bined figure of the three other first division clubs-New York. Boston and Chicaso.

Besides Naragon. the tribe has lost one other player since the close of last season. outfielder Stu Lockin. The rest. are pitchers Dick Weik. AlAbet. Hal Ssltzman and Leroy Wheat: and outficlders Jim Lemon and Herb Adamo.

The pheasants that ate the duck eggs picked the contents out of a hole made in one end Just like a crow does or a barnyard biddy that has taken to egg eating. The one that had the young rabbit was hanging it around like a hen does when it catches a mouse. This farmer came upon the bird in an open patch in his woodlot and the old cock lost the rabbit when it tried to run through some close growing bushes. The duck heat was destroyed at West Royalty and the rabbit killed in the Montague area.

The pheasant is not a sporting bird in the accepted sense of the trrm but is tops when dished up on a platter. A young cock makes frr delicious eating. By young I mean anything up to two years old. An old timer with spurs an inch long and sharp as lances had better be steamed or par-boiled before roasting. I am willing to admit that next to the honking of a flock of wilclgeese a big multi- coloured cock pheasant bursting f:om cover with the throttle wide coon and cackling his head off is next in line of sporting thrills. HOl'.'eVt'r, will the delicious meat that rounds out his spacious frame and the thrill of his caclrling take- off compensate for the harm he allegedly does to other species of valuable game? Time will tell but - if the cards are down against old ring-neck, what can we do
