Our friend James L. Read very gmruy forwarded score cards of the Trulp races and his com- merits are interesting. He was particularly struck with Ann Clegg md says she has about every- thing needed to make a good race horse including looks. He regrets to learn that his good friend Hooper Horne has been taken to the hospital for an operation. This slso concerns us and thou- sands of friends which Hooper has made in his long and useful lifetime. We trust that in a short time he will be around again with ll.

She is e daughter of Peter Henley 2.02 1-2 and her darn was the Grand Circuit star Kate Hal 201 l-2. We remember Kate Hal very well when we raced on the ice circuit at Toronto. She was very tempeirmental and was very capzibly looked after by Harry llnriléy. He said she had to be potted like s baby and never spoken crossly to. Her daughter Jean is very much the same nat- ure and it can be noticed that driver Smith is making good with her. having won several races this season. It will be remember- ed that it was he who had such a wonderful season with Bonnie Budlong 2.10, ending up at the ‘top of the list with ton firsts that year. Jean Henley started racing as a three-year-old in 1939 and on looking over her summary st Strathroy, Ont. we noticed that Beaverdale started in the three- year-old trot the same afternoon.

bird population of the Island. It has been a work of love from which few of us have derived anything except the satisfaction of trying to see that more pheasants and other upland game birds will be here lri years to come. To have someone attack this programme and work without even discussing the mat- ter with us. was absolutely unfair. unnecessary and unjust-to use polite words only.

"This matter has been discussed with the Department of Agricul- ture and it is with Departmental approval that I take steps tonight to show you that the statements contained in this article as well as the inferences draivn therefrom are falsehoods and that the writer of the article either did not seek out the correct information before writing the article or that he de- liberately and with intent to harm published the article knowing that it would injure the cause ofgams bird propagation in this Province.

"The writer of the article com- mences his attack by stating that, some people have voiced the opin- ion that pullo um is taking e heavy loll of p easents chicks. . . . Diligent enquiry has failed to 1o- cate any one person other than himself that has ever voiced such an opinion.

"He goes on to sey that in 1946 he located s large covey of pheas- ants in the spring season. He leter tried to locate them at various times with no success and he drew the conclusion that, since some White Leghorn chicks of his had had pullorum and died, some years before. the pheasants had likely passed on in the some manner. The Bible tells us that the birds of the air and the very hairs of our head are numbered. Unless our writer has access to the records of the Almighty I cannot see how he could reason that s flock of birds he never examined and could not find. had pullorum.

If the Guardian believed that our programme‘ was wrong. if they believed our birds were diseased, why did t.lie’r rep- resentative not come to the meet- ings of our Alsociliion and discuss it with us.
