On my way to ontreal on the 9th of the month 1 figured they had all the snow they could possibly stand. On the ""1 morning of the 17th when I raised the curtain of the sleeper a bowl- in blizzard was raging. Camp- bellton and Bathurst were, prac- tically snowbound. By the time the Ocean Limited reached New- castle the storm was behind us. since then the same, general area has received another twelve inches of snow. N. B. sportsmen have written the Hunt off in the northern portion of the province and are agreed that the coveys is the Moncton area have taken 3 bad heating. Hungarian part- ridge in Ontario have also suf- fered heavy losses due to ice that formed on the ground surface be- jng covered 'with deep crusted snow. 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 The tempo of bounty p has stepped up slur Those who mall, er bring. in the snuuts of fo.; and ears to match are due to us ms- aupuinted as quite a number have already been.

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 5'' He was gelded arid driven lightly M exhibited and was sold for a long many of them to buyers from the United States or their repre- sentatives here. George Honors- llan. who was a splendid judge of carriage type horses, saw pos- sibilities of a champion show horse in Parkwpod and purchased him from owned John MacPhee. during the winter season and that spring was fitted for show by Ronnie Steele. Many.ol the old- sters will .emember him being driven around the pninclpal streets of the city in a carriage that was shining like new and all the equipment equally so. Per- hsps none that we can emem” of. would have beaten him in the show ring at that time. Anyhow. Mr. Handrahan had the courage to ship him to New York where he appeared in Madison Square Gardens in the carrage roadster class and won the Blue Ribbon against the best that could be price. John Mac'Phee in addition to breeding Parkwood. also had other good trotters including Darkwood and Kellie. that will he remembered for his bulldog manner.

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.

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.
