Was it Kipling who wrote this? "It's not the 'oppin over the 'edges that 'urts the 'orses' 'oofs, but the 'ammer, 'ammer, 'ammer on the 'ard 'ighway." It sounds like Kipling and it is a swell opening for a story of the return of the horse to his rghtful place in society. Year by year and step by step, his mai esty the horse has been pushed off the highways of the (allegedly) most eni i g h t e n e d countries of the globe, by "gas buggies" by what we have called "automobiles"' with ail their frilîs and comtorts and speed and the luxuries of getting fromn here ta there to enjoy what? Well, just what? The answer is to enjoy what man and his spouse have neyer been entitled to . . . and that is, generally speaking, the valuptuous and unearned incre- ment of abstract pleasure. Race Horses For years now. in this 'enlight- ened" age, the mast -we have seen of horses, outside of farms, has been on the race tracks where farmers are seldom seen and where railbirds wouldn't know a horse if they saw one. Race harses are not, 'horses" anymore than guinea-pigs are pigs. Race horses are a special breed called "Thor- oughbreds" and they could no more pull a plow than Rockefeller could roast a frankfurter. So far as agricultural economics are con- cerned they are, utterly. a wash- out. We have it on authority of Elbert Hubbard of the gay nine- ties that guinea pigs aren't pigs and they don't corne tram Cuinea. By the same token, Thorough- breds are not native to this coun- try and they couldn't earn their saît at downright work. They are the pets of plutocrats and the despair of the proletariat seeking quick riches on a chiselling two- dollar ticket. Coming Back But ta get back ta where we started, we should say that we have evidence that horses in this district are again comning into their own. The gas and tire ra- tioning. just commencing as it is, was long anticipated by two of Bowmanville's outstanding horse- men. Take, for instance. Wes. Cawker, who having twa or three motor cars, neyer gave up bis horses. Wes is a butcher of the 4th generation but he thinks mare of horse flesh than of prime ribs of beef and he is one of the verv few. here or elsewhere, who bas 1kept a stable of smart horses. bath saddle and drivers, ahl thro' the depressian and ail through othe xvar. The other hbrse fancier. and he is a man of discriminating taste in equine proportions. is Dr. R. G. Cowie, local veterinarian a f the Dominion Livestock Brancb. Their stables are cam- bined at the Cawker farm on the Manvers Road. and already peo- ple tram Whitby and Oshawa are caming bere weekends ta vie with Bowmanville people in taking les- sans in riding and driving. Fine Hackaey Dr. Cowie's hiorse is a 3-year old Hackney of Sir Raleigh strin whicb lie purchased in western Ontario, and flot since the days of the famous Beith Stables. wben Hackneys such as Robin Adair, Saxon and Jessica swept the boards at Madison Square Gar- dens. New York, time and again, have we seen a classy Hackney. Dr. Cowie's Hackney bas ahl the characteristics of ani s tao c r a c y: alert ears, broad and fiat head. eyes. smali mauth, fine muzzle, graceful action with proper bal-1 ance in stepping proudly out, fore f eet carried bigh, bocks sharply flexed, and hind feet carried weil under the body. Horse Society The appearance of this horse, hitched ta a sulky, on the streets of Bowmanville causes a mild sensation and is the reason for this story of the return of the horse. From now on we shahi see barses as a current sight for many's the cart and buggy being repaired and much harness is being assembled. Wes Cawker has always bad ggod harses but automobiles have kept thern confined largely ta bis farm. Naw Wes is coming back into his own and lots of people are f inding a path to his doar* ta get in on the social swing *of harsy" people who were so 'up- pity" in the gay nineties. He bas a stable of five and they are al broken to harness and saddle. His aid pony that carried his boys ta scbool has been superannuated but stili travels a clip witb the fastest in the stable, and Wes hitches 'em up ta the buggy and does 8 or 10 miles Sundays just for the pure lave of horse flesh. He also has a Hackney abaut 15 hands weigbing 1000 lbs., as a colt and it is a favorite for the saddle crowd. Tben there is bis big bay -standing 16.2 and weighing 1300, another dandy saddle horse. New Age Fourth on bis list is a grey, hait Standard and hall Thorough- bred, standing 15.2 and tipping the scales at 1200, which steps oui under English or Western saddle, superbly broken. But prime fav- orite of youngsters and beginners and really mast in demand is a cob they cali aid roly-poly, stand- ing about 14.2 and ambling aloni at a neat 900 lbs. It and the oic pony are favorites, but for those wbo want action and bave ambi- tion ta became borsemen or horse- women in this New Age can try the jumps witb the big bay. It can clear burdles in effortless style and a smart scbaol is de- veloping around tbe tarm in ail branches of horsemansbip. 1 Man's Best Friend It is thaught that this stary of two horse fanciers and their horses might ta some extent pave the way for others who are be- ginning ta think of getting on the bandwagon as those wlio wisl ýocial distinction by becorning owners of "man's best triend.' Already sales of leather gaods in Canada are showing an upswing. In 1939 total sales were aroun< 81,2 million dollars. In the cur- rent fiscal year. the estimate is over eleven million dollars. Man- ufacture of caddies had fallen off to a veiy 10w figure but now they will came back with the return of the horse. Althaugh there are no "pegged" prices on horse fies] costs are not exorbitant at the moment, but when reai demand sets in an advance will no doubt take place.

Deaehman British bombing of German objectives is net a hit and miss attair. It is the resuit of caretul and detailed study made with detinite knowledge of the facts, planned ta do the greatest pas- sible good or harm, depending on the point of view. Planes go out on sea patrol each morning looking for Axis ships. They have net been asleep on this job. Over 6,000,000 tons of Axis shipping has been sunk since the opening of the war. In the Medi- terranean, they helped ta cripple Rommel's effort in North Atrica- at least, made it as expensive as possible. Assume that one ship is lest out of three sent, then more men must be employed in Italy in shipbuilding. When they are doing this, they are net producing armaments, food, or other essen- tials of Italian lite. Net anly are the ships lest but also the cargoes and trained crews. In other words, the air force reduces the efficiency ot Italian effort ta a lower and lower level. Needless ta say, the sinkings are net the product of air force effort alone - the navy is on the job. The air farce is mighty beiptul, hawever, espe- cially in reconnaissance. Italy is now feeling the pinch due, in part at least, ta this joint effort. Along the Atlantic caast, from Spain ta Trondheim, the same process gaes on. Axis coastal ships are sunk. They are driven off the ocean. Docks are attacked, sup- plies destroyed, submarine nests smashed. The harbor refuges of the under-sea boats became un- safe. In the circumstances, more pressure is placed on German raîlways, and shipping by rail becomes more costly- that is, it requires more men ta accomplish a given task. It helps ta reduce the labor supply and labor is scarce in Germany. The R.A.F. starts on the rail- ways. Focal shipping points, warehouses, marshalling yards, bridges, and everything connect- ed with the movement of goods, now receives attention. Germany has great railways. Wherever there are large railway systems there will be great railway yards, junction points where lines con- verge or cross and cars are trans- ferred trra one uine ta another. The R.A.F. attacks - cars are smashed, rails are broken and twisted, great holes are tomn in the tracks, freight sheds are de- stroyed. Men mnust stop work wbile the raid is on. Traffic is delayed. Same of it will be shifted ta other uines. Mare train miles may be needed ta reach a given point. The R.A.F. bas compelled the use of more men ta make repairs, ta run trains. German transportation has been disorgan- ized in this 'way. Complaints ot length of time required ta secure raw materials and ta mnove finish- ed praducts are cammon in Ger- many. The accident rate has in- creased. Always wben German workmen repair the damage, Bri- tish flyers tear it up again. It is for Germany a sisyphean task. The destruction of Baltic ports is especially important - it ties up German shipments ta thie army fighting Russia. German armament works ne- ceive attention. Factaries are smashed, schedules are deranged, equipment destroyed, time lest. In this work a widely varied pat- tern is followed. Tonight it may be a plant close ta Paris, tomor- row on.the shores of the Baltic, or again, in distant Czecho- Slovakia. Consider, for a moment, the problem presented ta Germany in these conditions. Night tighting tplanes mnust be distributed ta me- sist the bombing attacks. Anti- aircratt guns must be ready.' The factories are widely scattered. They may be prepared ta defend places wbich are net attacked. They may bold equipment for a time, then move it ta detend same other place which seems in great- er danger, only to tind that the place they have just lefthas been reduced ta ashes. Protection for every town strips the German front in Russia of tighting planes and anti-aircraft guns. Germany mnay try ta arrest the process by attacks on England, but the trou- ble is that Germany has 2,000 miles of front in Russia and ithousands of planes must be ready ta detend that front. It cannat be lett unpratected, even for a >day. Every plane over England is ione less an the Russian frant. Theà situation has changzed I a J £ I -i ITS TOO LATE THEN!
