THIS WEEK'S
Breeding Champion horses is like a game of dice. Every
colt is a new roll, hg could be a winner-ror he could be a
Clunk.
Few people in Colborne Township are as aware of the
•
chances in breeding horses as Burt. ,Bean, owner of °
Bluewater Stables. Burt has been trying for the past•four or
five years to get a mare stallion combination that clacked
and he feels he is veryf close.
Burt returned from a very successful showing excursion
last week at the Royal Winter Fair with two of Bluewater's
horses on top. Only one of the horses is Burt's, but he trains
• them both and refers to them "both as .his.
A Crowii'of Genius, a two year old American Saddlebred,
is owned by Mr. and Mrs, Mel Dickson of RR 4 Goderich.
Billy, as Burt calls him, was brought to Goderich last year.
from Lexington, Kentucky. He has excellentblood lines that
go back to the -greatest Saddlebred of them all, Wing Com-
mander.

was also judged on movement and conformation and in the
Two Year Old Stud class he placed second.

Bluewater's Bourbon Supreme Star, a weanling that Burt
owns and trains himself, was also entered in the Royal.
Sharpy, as the Colborne trainer refers to him, placed first
amongst ,all foals born in 1974. The American Saddlebred
was pronounced winner. over 32 other foals entered in the
world wide open Competition.
Burt -owns Sharpy's mother,. Supreme Miss Denise; He
,bred the mare to Bourbon„ Parader, a stallion owned by
A Crown of Genius
Parkway Stables in Alma. The little stallion was born last
April and is a result of Burt's careful breeding program,
"But", says Burt, "you can'tafall in love with them or you
will never make any money". Sharpy is for sale,
The breeding program may he'the one that will take Burt
and his Saddlebreds' to the top. He never breeds back to,the
same stallion again. He will get another crop of foals next
year and get a better horse than Sharpy or wish he had kept
him.
The way he sees it is that it is, a chance he has to take.

A Christmas tree, ablaze
with lights -and trimmed with
glittering ornaments , may be
seen in most homes in North
America and Europe during the
Yuletide eason.
its origin is .obscure. Many
legends and folk -tales „tell of
the beginning of the Christmas
tree
one legend says St. Boniface,
an English missionary named
Winfrid `tif Crediton in Ger-
many in the 8th century, on
Chrisfmas 'Eve cut down a
sacred oak beneath which
human sacrifices had been of-
fered. As • the oak fell a young
fir tree ' .seemed to have ap-
peared miraculbtisly beyond it.
The young fir tree, unstained
with blood was proposed by
saint int as a sign or emblem of

The history of Christmas
trees the home
the new faith.
the Cbristmas tree, as it is
known nbw, was first seen in
• Germany about the time of
Martin Luther in the 16th cen-
tury=
It does not seem to have been
generally cornmOn till far into
the 18th century.
Originally a purely domestic
institution, the Christmas free
gradually found its wad" , first„
into Protestant and then : into,
Catholic, churches,
By the middle of last century
the Christmas tree had become
universal throughout Germany.
It was set up in almost every
1fl use.
The Christmas tree was said'
to have been adopted in
Finland about 1800 and known
in Denmark and Norway in
1830. The first Christmas tree
in England is said to have been
set up at Penshanger in 18291
by a German lady, Princess
Lieven: The tree was only
naturalized in England after it
had been set up at Windsor
Castle by Prince -Albert in 184.1.
Since then the Chrimas tree
has .been Welcomed in France,
Holland, Sweden, Switzerland,
Italy, Spain, -Austria, 'Russia
and America; largely through
German influence, direct or in-
direct.'
Christmas , trees today are
decorated in many ways. Bach
family decorates their tree for
their own personal taste. Some
families haveornaments that •
have been handed down from
generation. to generation•.
How the tree is decorated is
unimportant. The" Christmas
tree is a symbol. It is the'tree of ,
LifQ,. Let it arise in its
evergreen splendour, bright
with lights and bending down •
with treasures riot to be sold'
but given freely as the grace of
God.
