“At the new training quarters camp will concentrate his racing stock during the off seasons. Last winter Little Joe O'Brien had the big stable of veterans and a dozen or more two-year-olds in training throughout the season at Del Mar. Though the site for the training quarters has been selected, blue- printing will await inspection of a few of the three-quarter and five- cighth tracks in the East by O‘- Bricn. and the reports he sends back on them to his boss.

“Camp has 26 mares at his Sprin-gviile farm. and four stal-i lions. Another stallion and a half: dozen fillies and mares are in the racing stable and destined for re- tirement at the end of the year. The stallions are Red Streak. Mighty Sun, Dazzleway, D‘Ai'tag- nan and Scotch Victor. D‘Artag- nan is spending the current year at the ranch. where he will be lightly used in the stud and then returned K) training, possibly this coming fall‘. Scotch Victor was lightly used in the stud last year,_ but is now at Santa Anita. Park.‘ O'Brien will take him East, in hope of starting him in m.id-sum- mer. Camp already has gone far- ther towards building a great standardbred breeding establish- ment in California than any man of history, with the single excep- tion of Senator Leland Stanford. Stanford's Palo Alto Stock Farm, on which now stands Stanford University, at one time had I. har- ness horse population of some 300 head, plus some 50 thoroughbreds who were used to infuse the re- fined running-horse blood into the trot-ting strains.

“Camp had 9. fin half-mile training track on his Springville ranch, but it is too far distant from his headquarters to permit of personsl supervision, or for every-day enjoyment. Also, it was decided that it might be well to separate the in-training conting- ent from the breedinfr SW01- Stanford‘: trotters were the won- der of the harness world in the 1380's and ‘90‘s.

Wild Life Week this season, April 4-10. will have special significance. it being 50 years ago Mr. Jack Miner started his work. It was in his memory. and in tribute to him. that Parliament in 1947 set uide this special week. Wild Life Week is not a. money making venture. It is purely educational with the view of instilling the principle of conservation in the hearts and minds of Canadians, especially our young Canadians.

Our Wildlife is an important part of the general scheme of na- ture and vitally necessary to the health. well being and survival of the human race. To many of us the very essence of the joy of living is found in our trout streams . . a duck marsh ‘in the dawn-

ing . . . a V of wildgeese against a November sky . the muted cadence of wild wings floating

earthward from the black canopy of night . . . the uplift of spirit from the sweet symphony of song white gulls against a blue sky . . . golden stubble and brown birds hurtling skyward . . . O O C

In this vein of thought I am taking the liberty of quoting a para- graph from an address delivered by W. Winston Mair. Chief Can- adian Wildlife Service, Ottawa, at the Nineteenth North American Wildlife Conference, Chicago, Il- linois, March 20. 1954: . . . "Water- fowl. exemplifying wildlife, today form an important component of our civilization. Their recreational and aesthetic values nourish us just as surely as music. poetry and prose literature —— or TV. There is placed upon human life such importance that doctdrs and humanists strive to save it from ills and social retribution.

Atlantlcs’ Jene Leclero thrilled

the crowd of 4.911 by scoring two third-period goals, one an 5 beauti- ful passing play with Marcel Ole- ments and the other into an em- pty net. The fast contest, which started with 1 near donnybrook and ended on a relatively calm note, was de- layed for 25 minutes in the second period by I power failure that blacked out Halifax.

Atiantics scored the first period's only goal on it three-man play, with Ross Watson passing to Jack (Muckie) I-follett at the blue-line. I-Iollett pushed it aheld to Doug McPhee who scored on Giles Bols- vert Just as the Sydney defence reached him.

Screened Shot

Duke McDonald scored Sydney's first goal earlyin the second. He shared the puck after a scramble 15 feet in front of the Halifax net. and blazed s screened shot past Roy McMeekin.

Leclerc scored his first midway in the finale. He carried the puck over the bluellne. then passed to Clement: who skirted the defence and passed back to Leclerc at the last minute for a perfect goal. when Sydney removed Boisvert from goal. Leclerc rammed in an- other.

Sydney's final goal came at 19:59 but McMeekin was half out of his net when Neil Amadio triggered his shot. McMeekin made I half-hearted wave at the puck and went out to pat the back of his nearest teammate.

Four penalties were called in I near-brawl midway through the first period. It started with Hali- fax coach Dugger McNeil and Mils‘ Gordie Cowan jostling in the corner for the puck. Within sec- onds fists and sticks were flying but the offenders got only minors.
