Broken M stables
are a family affair
BY DON McGEE
The Broken M Stables is a
family affair. Charles A. Mathers
and his sons Charles E., John,
Eugene and Raymond are all
co-owners in the stable which
presently has seven horses in
training.
They house the horses in a
barn behind their home, and
have a track for exercising and
training them about, a half mile
away.
John is the official driver,
while Ray and his brother
Eugene train the horses, or as
Ray puts it, "John does all the
driving, but sometimes comes
down and helps with the
training."
The Mothers own six of the
seven horses: Sabatone, Judy
Mathers, Imp Mathers, Parker
Mathers, Ogdena Frost and
Sebringville. They also train
Linda's Boy for Uncle George
Mathers of Clinton.
The names must be getting a
bit confusing by now with
almost all their horses having
been named Mothers too, but
since it is all in the family I
suppose that any mistakes I
might make will not matter all
that much (maybe no one will
notice!).
Anyway, Sabatone is owned
jointly by everyone in the
stables, while the other horses
-ore owned in one combination
of initials or another by C.E.,
C.A., J,B., and R. Mothers.
'They have lately been racing
at Clinton and Goderich, but are
campaigning Dresden Raceway
this week with four horses
entered. They have the newest
possession of the Stables,
Sebringville, entered for
to-night.
She is a bay, five year-old
mare claimed by Ray at Clinton
Raceway July 11, and has so far
had two firsts out of three starts.
Her owner expects to make back
the money spent buying her by
the end of the year.
Ray plans to take her to
London Western Fair Raceway
at the start of its season.
Sebringville is a Newport
Duke horse, out of Mint Julep.
She and John have so far seemed
to be a good match at the track,
going identical miles of 2.10.2
with both of her wins.
"She's not an excellent horse
or anything," says Ray, "but
she's good enough."
Imp Mathers is their really
promising three year-old pacer.
He is a son of their mare Bonnie
P. Grattan. He is also at Dresden
these days.
Bonnie P. Grattan is now in
foal to H. A. Meadowlands,
1.58.1 owned by R. K. Feagan
of Goderich. Her colt, Robbie
Mathers (there's that name
again) will soon be joining the
ranks and should do well, with
his breeding.
They have five other horses
out on grass; Kim Brook, Bonnie
P, Grattan, Tracy and Robbie
Mathers, and Sparklee Bay.
AltogetheI it seems like a
profitable year shaping up for
the Broken M Stables.

Clinton News-Record, Thursday, July 29, 1971. 3
The Ponies pulled out a
hard-earned win over Exeter in
Clinton on Wednesday night.
After a shakey start both
pitchers came up with a good
game.
Catcher Dave Counter belted
a single between second and .
short stop to 'score Paul Priestap
in the bottom of the seventh
inning. Priestap went down
swinging in the second inning
then pounded a long triple to
open the fifth. Don Peterson's
second single scored Priestap to
tie the game 3.3.
Then in the seventh with one
out Paul again collected a single,
stole second base and scored the
wioning run on Counter's hit,
with two out.
BY BERT CLIFFORD
The two heroes of
Wednesday's game Dave Counter
and Paul Priestap again played a
big role in downing Blyth 13-2
in Blyth on. Thursday.
Counter hurled his first full
game of the year and he struck
out 11, walked only three and
gave up two hits in the fourth.
Paul "Moses" Priestap continued
to amaze everyone with his
power hitting. In the fourth
after Dave Counter had scored
and with Don Peterson and Mark
Nicholson on base, Paul hit a
clean home run, his second of
the year, putting Clinton out in
front 4-0. His next at bat in the
fifth Paul hit a long foul ball
which was very close to another
home run.
Then with two out Steve

A project to seek out and
record "grassroots" opinion in
Ontario's rapidly changing rural
society is being undertaken by
the University of Guelph. In
making the announcement,
University of Guelph President
W. C. Winegard said the project
is expected to yield information
presently unavailable to
planners, scientists, and local
government officials.
Huron County in western
Ontario has been chosen as the
study area because,.:,it is
representative of "classical"
rural Ontario. Three Huron
County residents, who are
students at the Ontario
Agricultural College, University
of Guelph will conduct
interviews for the survey this
summer.
One of the prime objectives
of the study will be to uncover
information which would help
the eeople involved in making
gover intent policies become
better acquainted with rural
opinion.
Legislators and other
government policy-makers, says
Dr. C. T. M. Hadwen, a
University of Guelph sociologist
and coordinator of the project,
don't always know the outlook
of rural people. Those who do
know often lack the evidence to
support their statements about

local opinions when they
"disagree" with outside officials.
"There is a clear need for
comprehensive research which
will help uncover today's rural
perspective," says Dr. Hadwen.
"For the mast part we know
something of the economic,
physical and social changes faced
by the residents of
predominantly rural areas, but
not how those individuals
perceive these developments."
The important part of this
research, says Dr. Hadwen, is to
discover how the rural
population perceives the entire
range of changes it must face.
"We may not know what
general characteristics of cultural
makeup, institutional life, or
sensitivity to coming
developments, lie behind
attitudes to such specific events
as the development of the Lake
Huron shore or the movement of
industry to the County," he
says.
"We may know for instance,
how many people are leaving
rural Ontario, but not what they
feel are the vital factors in
deciding whether to go or stay.
We may know the extent to
which social services have
become centralized, but not how
important or unacceptable this is
to local residents."
The study, expected to take
about a year to complete, is
