THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, ssid 18, 1966 39 | HE'S GOT THEM ON HIS LIST The personal files of Dan McArthur hold, among other things, a memo-by-memo ac- count of his battle to build _an unfettered, objective news service for the CBC, McArthur, who organized the CBC radio news service in 1940 and spent the next 13. years as chief editor, has been commissioned by the CBC to write the story of the 1940-53 period, (CP Photo) Race Track' Veteran Past 70, Going Strong By DON MacLACHLAN CALGARY (CP)--He sat on a scruffy cot in Barn A, his feet dangling an inch from the floor results tacked to the painted block wall stirred in the draft, Gunshots from a TV thriller reverberated through the tiny tackroom at Victoria Park track as Billy Trevenen shook his grey head and mur- | mured: "l won't be around here much longer," Then, brightening, he began to speak of 42 years as a pro- fessional horse trainer; -- of amateur dramatics, hockey, boxing, education, children, farming and 'the wonderful people in racing." And you got the impression that even though he's past 70 he intends to be around the track as long as possible After spending the winter at Winnipeg, his home since 1941, Tremenen was back in the barns.

But 1 only do it jin a small way, know.' He uses the same phrase-- "in a small way, you know" ~to describe his racing, his coaching of boys' hockey and his army boxing career, in which he won seveal tro- phies, Trevenen inherited his love of horses from his father, a polo player from England, who settled in the Alix area in 1899, Billy began to ride in local races as a child, Among horses he's running this season is handicap ace Already Dia, The horse won $13,950 last year, including the $7,500 - added Assiniboia Downs Gold Cup at Winnipeg.
