Wehner and his wife. When' in that borrowed stable they worked out the problem of saving those hors- es they were just city folks -be with an office Thigh in a skyscraper. They didn't even have a dog. And here they were, to their great surprise, the owners of two damaged thorough brete. 'What todo next? They must get a Piece of land to put their horses on. So they drove across into Ken- tucky and at • Verona bought a hun- dred acres that were being sold for taxes. On them still stood a fine old tobacco barn. I was in that barn and I don't think I'veever been in a pleasanter .place. The walls ivory yellow in the afternoon' sunlight. Tbe 18 stalls all full and more to come. The air sweet with the smell of fod- der. New colts, frisky but each a bit wobbly on his pins and locking -ra- ther like -a child's drawing of a gir affe, one of them Prince Pine's latest achievement; still unnamed. "Say, it aright not be a bad idea to call him Wisdom Tooth, eh, doc?" I proposed: And my prophetic ears seems to catch my own voice in the spring of '39: "A hundred bucks on Wisdom Tooth in the fourth. ' To place? To show? No. A hundred bucks. On the nose." This story begins on Labor Day, 1934, during the Gibson Handicap at River Dowelee a race track 12 'miles from Cincinnati. The favorite in the race was Prince Pine, a spirited two- year-old who had .already broken one record and was s.11 set to be a favor-' ite in the Kentucky Derby the follow* lag spring. That afternoon he was easily winning his race whew he stumbled and broke his left foreleg. The lower part of it hung limp as an armless' sleeve. Now the vets know only one way to set a horse's leg. If the plaster cast is not to slip or chip, the wretch- ed creature must be trussed up in a canvas sling for two or three weeks to keep its weight off the ground. But this method puts such pressure on the horse's belly that. it wrecks its lungs and liver, and long before the bone can set, the patient usually dies of 'pneumonia. Sometimes a farm horse survives, . but never the high- strung racehorse. So at the tracks, even when a horse is beyond•price for breeding purposes, the moment a leg is broken the order is to shoot. Therefore at River Downs that day tradition had a bullet with Prince Pine's name on it. But something de--' netted that bullet. Recently 1 saw Prince Pine tearing about a meadow, in a state of almost unbearable exub- erance, nothing at all the matter with that. left foreleg. Prince Pine owes his present well- being to• the blessed ohance that a- mong the spectators in the grand- stand that September day were a Cin- cinnati dentist and his wife. When the disaster happened, the dentist's wife obeyed an impulse. Down out of the grandstand, under the rail, across the track she ran; calling Out, "You must not shoot him!" At the mom- ent she knew only that to kill that laeautiful creature would be a stupill crime. The dentist, following' in her wake, supported her. But the vets all s /'geed, that Prince Pine didn't have •a chance, and the track authorities said they couldn't have a bunged -up horse en their hands, At last the trainer told the deitist he could do what he 'Biked, and half an hour later these two impractical people from Cincin- nati found themselves in charge of a truck into which they •hoisted the napless two-year-old. As a first move the dentist .got per mission to carry the wounded hero to a stable owned by one of ihis patients. 'Then he brought down the X-ray ala - chine from his office and tackled the preblexn. Necessity gave birth to an 'invention. The dentist set that fore- leg and put a east on it. But he made the cast of something wihich had nev- or before been used for such a pur- pose. Made it out of some stuff in 'his own office. The stuff called den- tal ennal stone.

Finally, a sour -faced woman said: "Conductor, can you give me two nickels` for a dime?" ' "Of course," said the conductor. "Amy particular dates you'd like?" Sugar Beet Crop The commercial sugar beet crop of Southwestern Ontario, although seed- ed late, developed very rapidly and the operation of blocking and thin- ning was practically completed by the end' of June. The heavy rainfall and favorable growing weather of late May and alt through June brought'the malor portion of thefields to the thinning stage at the same time, and •caused great pressure on the labour supply. . This 'situation was aggravat- ed by eumerous hold-ups in the work owing' to the wet condition of the fields. Nine separate rainfallswere rec•nrded at Chatham during June, totalling 4.7 inches. or double the av- • rage amount for June. ' As is usual with spring seasons of .too heavy rainfall, some trouble has developed from blackroot and insect pests. Weeds have grown rapidly and without the usual check provided by frequent cultivation: Notwith- standing, the difficulties experienced this spring, ihowever, the . thinned fields generally show excellent stands and give promise of a good crop. The commercial acreage will be some- what less than. the 30,000 acres plan- ned, as frequent rains prevented some ,fanners from' •seeding the full acre- age for which they had contracted. The CANCER. Crusade Fighting the Great Scourge with Knowledge - —A Campaign to Wipe Out Ignorance, Fear and Neglect. 8y ,D. W. S. McCullough, M.D., D.P.H.° Secretary Cancer Committee THE HEALTH LEAGUE OF CANADA ',EARLY SIGNS OF CANCER CALL FOR PROMPT ATTENTION . If any sign of cancer is found, the family doctor should at once be con- sulted. At this period in the 'history .of a cancer, .the family doctor is the - hest counsellor, particularly if he is alert to his resp'oneeibility. I e knows the history of the family;, he may know a couple of generations of the family. Often he knows the patient from birth. In such cases the family aloetor must employ all the resources at his command in the making of an accurate diagnosis. The task will not •.hvays be an easy one. But the doctor has, ' in addition to .his acquired knowledge, other aids in. •ddiagnosis which he will apply to a so- lution of the problem. Aanong these are, in suitable cases, the X-ray, the test -meal, 'transillumination and the lniscroscope, He may if necessary -'stave the advice of a colleague.

How important in the interest of the patient are these early signs! The very existence of a man or woman may depend upon their early recogni- tion. Many of them may readily be recognized by almost any intelligent person. Keep your eyes open for ir- regular bleedings, unhealing sores, lumps anywhere in the body, chronic hoarseness, disorders of r•'geetion or. change of bowel habits i,' ='•one. of 35 years and upwards. One sees these signs every day. Perhaps the commonest are the eo- called 'unhealing sores, sores that fail to heal. They appear as brown, yel- low or dark -looking scabs on the face or hands. Underneath the scab is an unhealedsore. '15hey are seen as - scabs oil the lip which may exist for Weeks, even months without showing any signs' of treating. Originally they are not Cancers but if neglected' they are sure to become cancerous. Bleed- ings of an irregular character, lumps chronic ,hoarseness, disorders of diges- tion and change in bbwel habits may' be recognized by almost any observ- ant person, .

"Try Courtesy" Means "Give a Hand'- Pibtured to the rigbt are the stan- dard methods recommended by the Ontario Department of Highways for giving proper hand and arm signals: Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Minister of Highways, in the course of his "Try Courtesy" campaign to reduce street and highway traffic accidents, urges all Ontario motorists to demonstrate safe and sane driving methods by courteously "giving one another a hand." Whenever the signal is given by means of the hand and- arm, the bode- 1 trin states, the drivershould indicate his intention to stop or change direc- tion by extending his hand and arm, front and beyond the left side of the vehicle. In making a left turn, the driver should signal_ bis intention to turn by extending his left arm straight out, then draw as close to the centre Iine of the street or highway as possible. and turn on a point in the centre of the road which he is entering. The right turn is properly made by signalling intention to turn and keep- ing close to the right hand curb line while doing so. Two methods may be used to give the signal—either by extending the left arm upwards or by waving the left band in a clockwise motion, which simultaneously Indi- cates a turn, to the right and signals the driver beihend that it is safe to pass on the' left side. "Stop" or "slow" is indicated by extending the left arm downwards, and care stolid be taken, when ap- proaching an intersection, to slow down several yards, rather than a few feet, from the crossing. a;` CKNX, WINGMAM 1200 kca. 249.9 metres Sat., Aug.
