Gradually And the body follows, And the grieving mind drives All to the grave. But the grave moves For all is allied when room is made For things that do not cling to When mind and body get acâ€" Like love affairs for life, Like God and flowers, In spite of things like death And scars that try to hide the stars In eyes that once were beautiful. For there are no killers In a mind that looks and listens, Thursday, Nov. 21, 1946 ;-ey‘o;d the cozyness of skulls. Recently we were pleased to acâ€" cept an invitation to spend a mornâ€" ing behind the scenes of a race track. It meant that we could see the horses, stables, trainers, jockies and flunkies in general, beâ€" sides seeing the exercising that goes on every morningg. The day at a race track begins at 4 a.m. . We had to leave home before seven, and before breakâ€" fast. °We were to have that at the cafeteria where the racetrack men ate. First we visited the stables, and had the pleasure of rubbing noses and patting the necks of several racers. ‘ They all seemed to like us, and one nuzzled his nose unâ€" der my arm and nibbled at the buttons on my dress. ‘These horses see very few women, the trainer told us, and it was very unusual for a horse to show such affection to any one. There being two othâ€" er women in our party, I felt rathâ€" er complimented. . We met trainers, veterinarians and other horse lovers. _ Also the men â€"who have to walk a horse from half an hour to an hour to eool him off after running in the morning _ exercises, In these morning workouts, horses are put through a test in order to plice them in a race with other horses with about the same caliber of It was time for breakfast. Some of our party wanted to see more, but two of us didn‘t want.to walk any further. We were escorted to the cafeteria, and while waiting for the rest of our party to come back, we enjoyed watching the men coming and going. What interested me were three pilesof newspapers. A man would pick‘ up his favorite paper, and WITHOUT ONE LOOKâ€"AT THE FRONT PAGE would turn to the page carrying the racing news.

Anyone could see he was "out of pocket." s The breakfast was very goodâ€" bacon, eggs, fried potatoes and a mug of coffee. To see a man orâ€" der seven slices of bacon, three eggs and a hill of fried potatoes was not unusual. The place was clean from A to Z. While going from stall to stall, we were told the name of each horse and his pedigree back to great grandsires, etc., how many races he had won â€" or nearly won â€" and his age. â€" All birthâ€" days begin January 1st, and if a horse is over six months old, he is in the yearling class. * Another surprise was that not all jockies are youngsters. All are small in stature, and, of course, have to keep their weight down. Both the afternoon I spent in the grand stand and the morning behind the scenes were very inâ€" teresting. The afternoon session had its beautiful scenery, its brief exciting moments. _ The words "cheer up," and "lucky" were heard many times â€"â€" with the first outnumbering the last three to one. The morning session was like being in a small town, all by itâ€" self. There were 2000 horses â€" racers, young horses being trainâ€" ed and horses, used by the atâ€" tendants for distances too far to walk. These attendants number 2500, not counting owners. Only one subject was ever men: tioned â€" HORSES. I slowed my Ford, and, "Hop in, Chum," I answered to a twitching thumb; "Thanks, much," the moppet anâ€" swered back, $ "I‘m waiting for a Cadillac." â€"R.B.0.
