She can also keep cominl back heat after heat. the last half of csch mile being a shade better than 3 minute if necessary. She knows my system of racing to a dot and resents any changes. I had a sam- ple of this at r ,hkeepsie last August. Before the last hm ofthed special with st. Frisco. H. N. Bath 1-equalled Geers and myself to bring the two horses to the Judges' Stand and have them photographed. They rotted the mile in 2.0iVs. and when 1 puued up the mare wanted to walk out of the draw gate. At first she refused to go back and when 1 did get her as far as the Judges stand she kept twisting and turn- mg until I thought. she would wreck her suiky. Finally I succeed- ed in attracting her attention and she stood fora few moments. "One day at Lexington. I asked 3 western man. who had seen Mabel Trask race as a three-year- old, why he or some other person did not buy her when she was poddied around for 31.200. Ind he said it was not a question of that price, but whether she was worth 5120. Still all the changes 1 made with her was to let her head down and allow her to go as nature in- traded. Of course I never allowed anyone to speak a cross word tn licr, and I also straightened the trslde of her front shoes so that they would not scratch her knee imots as they cost money." Mabel Trask 2.0li'i. to put the matter briefly, was the greatest daughter of Peter the Great 2.0'lVt. both as to record and earnings. Her fame is enduring through her pro- gcny down to the third and fourth generation.

Another Maritime bred horse that has been giving a great ac- count of himself for the past sev- r:'aI years in the U. S. A. is Colonel Dan. well known to race fans in the Maritimes. He was sired by Calumet Fingo 2.00.4. while that horse was owned in New Bruns- wick. His principal racing career was in Cape Breton but it was his great campaign in 1948 over Mari- time tracks that led to his sale to McGlnley & Ryan. I-louiton. Me. That season he won 21 heat: and lowered his record to 2.o0!fs. Many will remember that great race be- tween Colonel Dan and Billy Mc- Vsy at Covchead. Sept. ifith.

He is by Peter Astra 4. 20lv,, winner of the I-Iambletoniah - and in fact all the stakes he raced as a tliree-year-old. In the hands of the late Dr. H. M.

Peter Astra, contrary to expectations for his first crops of foals has not heen a producer of extreme early speed but the four-year-olds and older ones by him that have "been train- ed are winning races in the very best company.

March 28 - (CP) - Just about the safest bet for the third game of the Detroit-Toronto Ssnley Cup semi-finals is that the Fat Man will be in the Leaf nets Saturday night. If he isn't. this slap-happy hockey town probably will razz the Leafs out of Maple Leaf Gardens. The Fat:Man, of course, is the beloved Turk Broda. the oldest - and chubbiest - goalkeeper in big- time hockey. Leaf officials were mum about who would don the big pads satur- dsy in their efforts to whittle down Detroit's two-game lead in the best-of-seven series. But the con- sensus of observers-and certainly the popular choice-was that the 37-year-old V)'3l'hDT59 would skate out for his 101st appearance in Na- tional Hockey League playoffs. Coach Joe Primeau. at Toronto's playoff retreat at St. Cathisrines, Ont., kept up the suspense. "Yes, it's been decided who will play goal but I can't tell you who he will be. Either Broda or Al Rollins (the club's regular netminder)." Prim- esu said. "You'll have to check with Mr. Smytlie." In Toronto. Conn Smythe. Leaf general manager, chuckled and said: "Our lineup will be announ- ced at 8:30 P. M. (game time) to- morrow night. Halifax Team Iwins lI.S.

Major Blrks. in a New Year's cable. an- nounced that to carry on the over-less work on an adequate basis required a great increase in personnel and supplies for the coming year. The General Secre- tary hf the National Council of the Y.M.C.A. was relieved of other duties to devote full time to the Y. M. C. A. Military Ser- vices. The 1816 annual meeting of the National Council in February declared by resolution: "That the Associatlon must be prepared in meet to the limit of its ability the enlarged demands of the military work both in Canada and over- seas. and hereby pledges itself to the task, no matter what the cost in men and money and in sacri- lice." The objective of the Red Tri- angle campaign of 1916 was rais- ed several times. the final budget adopted was s300,000.00; and un- der the distinguished patronage of I-T.R.I-1. the Duke of Connaught, and the Prime Minister, Sir Rob- ert Borden, this great campaign was undertaken. Divine help was sought. and a call to prayer went out ,to all local associations throughout the country. The ap- peal was conducted largely in the cities and larger towns. and was confined to a limited iiumirr of people with means. The budget was oversubscribed by 513,856.00. The first 'steps were taken to- wards work for men returning from overseas. President H. M. Tory of the University of Alberta. made a study of their needs; anti services were initiated for them on trains and at the ports of entry. special "Y" services were also ar- ranged for enemy aliens interned in Canada. It was reported that this work had a. reciprocal effect in improving the lot of Canadian prisoners in Germany. Overseas, 1916 Arrangements were made with the British Y. M. C.A. for the transfer of the "Y" huts and work in the Shorhcliffe area to the Canadian secretaries, The "Lad- die Miilen” hut was then added, and the program in that area. greatly enlarged. In the spring. is specialist in Physical Education, Mr. Fred J. Smith. arrived at Shorhcllffe. and a comprehensive program of baseball and football leagues and special held days, was arranged. A series of boxing con- tests were. staged ih an open air arena, with audiences of up to 2.- 500 soldiers.

The constant aim of the secretaries was in offset this by ministering to their number- less needs. Thus the "Y" Secre- taries and the Chaplains, by sup- plying hot coffee, concerts, games, sing-songs, sympathetic and in- spiring talks, sought to hcl the men withstand their physics and mental hardships. With larger tents and better equipment, they gave comfort and entertainment, by providing stoves for warmth and musical instruments and moving pictures for entcilainment. Amateur tlicutilcais were or- ganized, using soldier talent: an outdoor stage. with floodiiglits, to whlcli was attached a marquee seating 1,400 soldiers. was used by the English touring and local soi- rlier talent. A prominent English professor gave a series of 23 lec- tures throughout the Canadian corps. Dugouts were used instead of tents, and some only at night. near the front line. It became an established practice in these dug- outs to supply hot drinks and cof- fee free to the men. The wound- ed, stretcher bearers, and ambul- ance men, as well as the soldiers, received more than material com- fort from the secretaries at these crude centres. With the arrival of the Third Division in France, there came six secretaries and many assist- ants. This made a total of six- tcen secretaries and liihcty-four light duty men in ihe twenty-scv- eh branches of I.lie "Y" services in France in April. Captain Toni Best was selected as chairman of an Executive Committee that met each week to deal with maiicrs oi comhion interest. The Somme The three Canadian divisions moved from the Yprcs Salient to a rest area early in Augiist. The Y.M.C.A. was able to pi'cpai'e in advance for their work, so that when the troops arrived. they had a marquee erected slid a ball diamond laid out. At this time the Fourtli Division fil'l'Ii'Ed from England and went into the front line. A number of changes were made in the ”Y" organization. Captain J. H. Wallace was pro- mated to senior ”Y" officer of the IOLII' divisions of the Csnudinn Corps with Captain J. W. Benton as business manager. The First Division reached the Somme front September first. The three divis- lnns were placed one behind the other. with two divisions always in reserve. The Y. M. C. A. used large marquees and tents in this area. In a few days 35 "Y" branches were fully equipped. and and had been abandoned because of shell- ing, was used as "Y" headquart- ers and a cinema hail. As the victorious offensive ad- vanced. tiiere was a C0llSt8.l'iI. movement forward by the Y.M.C. A. Dugouts were established as far forward as possible: one near Albert was kept going continuous- ly. where hot drinks and other extras were helpful comforts that were a great Christian lIiIllISI.l'y, a priceless boon to the fighting men. Farther back. at ihe "Bi'ickfit.lds", Captain M.W. Plun- kett started his wonderful enter- tainment for soldiers. Still fur- ther in the rear. 3 concert party consisting chiefly of McGiil stu- dents, ivlth the P.P.C.L,I., started with 11 "stock" theatrical program of high class vaudeville. This de- veloped lnto the famous "Dum- belis".ahd become a large feature of entertainment. in ilie Canadian army and in Canada after the war. In Engla nri Airaiigcmcnis with the British Y.M.C.A. similar to those in the Sliorncliffc area, where the Cali- adlan "Y" had taken over the splendid huts erected by the Brit- ish Y.iVl.C.A., were completed for the different areas where there were Canadian troops; and in re- iui'n.ali new huts erected in Can- adian camps were to be automat- lcaily transferred to the English Nniionalcouhcil at the end of the war. This enabled the Secretaries to plan every phase of their work in many different areas. The "Y" huts became the accepted social centre of the soldiers. and were the common resort. of Iiic major- ity of the men. The soldiers re- sponded to an announcement of it religious address with the samei readiness as to a concert. or an educational lncture. i Recognition of the opportunity of those large hut. audiences led in the securing of two outstand- ing Canadian pulpit speakers: Dr. John MncNt-iii and Dr. W.

About 300 mink were entered in the show. At the banquet attended by 1130 people, Dr. Charles Bassett of the U. 5. Fur Animal Experimental Station. told of some of his nu- tritionai experiments on mink and his audience listened very attent- ively. Dr. Bassett. has been a good sound man to follow in his ad- vices given on mink and fox. At a Directors' meeting of the American Fox Breeders Associat- ion held in Deliver recently, Bert Avery of Golden, Colorado, was elected president, Paul L. Rein- hardt, Burlington, Wis., was elect- ed vice-prcsident and among the Directors elected were Ed Langen- feldt and Omar Brager-Larsen. Paul Reinhardt, who made quite at impression at the International For Conference in Charlottetown in 1948. in an address said: "It is proposed to transfer the special fox advertising program of which the National Board was trustee. to our Association. The necessary steps are being taken in that di- rection. D. 0. Stewart of Sunl- merside, P. E. 1.. will act on this special committee for Canada.

His talk on diseases of mink was most inter- esting and was illustrated with natural color slides. He also spoke on feeds. emphasizing the neces- sity of cereals to replace horse meat which is steadily becoming scarcer and higher priced. Scandinavian countries show an increase of about 110,000 mink kits in 1951 compared to 1950.
