CWA WORK RESUMED FORREST FINLEY
The CWA work which was halted
tempi#'arily !| sti 'Friday has been
resumed. The calling off of the
trucks and teams stopped every pro
ject in the county for the time being
but a limited number have been
put back to work and the1 different
projects *are being carried out. The
plan that had been used was to
work two shifts of men and in this
way give employment to about two
thousand men. One shift of men
would work one week then another
shift would work one week but
this plan is not allowed and this
necessitates reducing the, roll too as
the quota for the county is 1092 in
stead of the 2000 that had been em
ployed.

The campaign against rats in our
city is well under way, a crew of
13 . men being added test Tuesday
making a total of 1G mejn now at;
work trapping. This trapping will^
be continued as long as it is deemed
expedient and then poisoning will be
done. This one project that every
one wil3 want to encourage as it
will mean so much to the' health of
th'^ community and every one is anx
ious to rid the place of these rats
which, if no more, are certainly
great pests. In order to incur the
least danger the owners of the
property that is being trapped have
the privilege of supervising the work.
The supervisor has visited about
half of the rural schools in the
county and outlined the program to
principal so that his cooperation
might be secured and to learn too,|
from him something of the condition
of the premises of the homes in that!
community so that the greatest help
possible might be given to them by
the workers. All the schools will be
visited as soon as possible.

BEVERLY HILLS.—Well all I know
la Just what 1 read In the papers, or
what I hear hither and thither. Couple
of weeks ar had
an Interesting little
four day stay In
Riverside, Cal,
thats the home of
the famous Mission
Inn, the most
unique hotel in
America. Its a mon-
estary, a mission, a
fine hotel, a home, i
a boarding house, a j
museum, an art gal-1
ery, an aviators'[
shrine. It combines •
the best features of all the above. Ifi
you are ever in any part o£ Cai dont!
miss the famous Mission inn at River-:
side.
We were out there filming the trot- j
ting racing scenes in David Harum.
They have a great old Fair Grounds.
We had about 150 people from Holly-
wood out there, then used a couple of
hundred extras from there, and it was
like a picnic. We had some real old
race horse authorities, men who had
, been judges and starters on these
tracks for years and years. Well sir
there is nothing any more interesting
to talk to than an old horseman, and
there is nothing any older than a trot-
ting horseman. I never saw a man In
the trotting horse business under 80.
Now in our scenario, or script, a3
those things are called after Rob Wag-
ner's famous Bcript, why it had the
race being for the best two out of three
heats. That means to any of you that
dont know harness racing, that there
is one race after another till one horse
wins two. If he wins the first two Its
all over, but he must win two. So we
were to have it that way, but these old
fellows, knowing the time the story
was laid, 1893, informed us that in
those days it was three out of five
heats. One horse had to win three races
in the afternoon to win the prize. Well
they said they had seen as many as
ten heats, before one horse was able
to win three.
They claimed that in most cases a
pacing horse was a couple of seconds
faster than a trotter, although that
Yhen two record holders met. the trot-
ter be t the pacer. There are many
cases where a horse has been changed
in a season from a trotter to a pacer.
The pacer's power and strength and
drive come from his hind legs (like aj
runner) but a trotters come from his j
front legs. His is by reaching, and not j
by pushing. There are two great strains |
tho Hamiltonians and the Morgans. !
They are pedigreed and are called
standard bred horses. Its a peculiar I
cross from a thoroughbred with a
mixed cold blood.
They say a trotter or pacer is more
intelligent than a runner. He has to
know more; he evidently must have
more endurance, for no runner could
run ten heats in an afternoon.
We are driving the first make of low
wheel sulkys They come in '92. Still
they are much hj,gher than the low-
ones they use today.
1 want to teil yon
its quite a trick, try-
ing to drive one of
those with pretty
fast horses too, and
'!ii drivers on the
track at once
There is always a
hole big enough [or
the horse but bow
about the buggy be L>
is towing along!
The only thing I
had to recommend
me was tnat I looked as old as a dri.er.
1 used to be a pretty good just old com-
mon horse driver as a young fellow i
back home, but I never made the j
tracks. My father was the best driver i
1 ever saw, though. Well he had quite
a little training in his young days. He j
used to haul freight from St. Joe, Mis- '
souri, to Dallas, Texas
Lord, his son basent got hardly I
enough endurance to make the same
trip in a plane, but 1 have seen Papa
hitch em up when there was really
wild and go where he wanted to with
em, net where they wanted too. So If
I show any driving ability in this my
first real effort, It is inherited. Its not
from hard work perseverance, and
taking advantage of my opportunities,
(as the American Magazine used to ad-
vise us). By the way this depression
and the fall of the big man has kinder
knocked the props out of all those suc-
cess storys we used to get fed up on.
This is just an age of being a good
Democrat and holding an office. Thats
all there is to success now.
