Our Goal To Help
( Continued From Page 1) ms. This story is best told in an exchange of letters. He wrote to us the following: " Dear Mr. Green: " If your offer to put your book in the public library is still open, I will personally take the responsibility and pay the charge for putting a copy in each of the public libraries in La- Favelte, one in the LaFayette Library and one in the West LaFayette Library. If you will send these books, I believe your charge is S5.00 apiece on those, and send me the bill for them, I will see that they are personally placed in each one.“ Yours truly,“ W. R. VanDenBosch, M. D.” We replied:“ Dear Dr. VanDenBosch:“ I can shut my eyes and visualize what a fine gentleman you are.
" Previously I have received several orders for libraries; including a memorial gift honoring a teacher with a book to a school library; but you are the first Voice subscriber to give books to two libraries— to my knowledge,
“ For many reasons, as many as there are children who go to libraries in the nation, I hope hundreds— yes thousands of others follow your example.
" I believe my Biography book will have a definite appeal to children— starting with the four-color pictures( 18 of them) that cost me so much in making it a quality book.
“ My goal is— and I plan to editorialize on it quite soon— to seek to give every child in America the chance to dream of owning and riding a Tennessee Walking Horse— just like every child can dream of some day being in the White House as President of the United States.
“ Children can creaLe a wonderful world for themselves by yearning and dreaming about something good.
" I believe you have helped impart this dream to many in your town.
“ And I am sure you will encourage the librarians to keep the book in steady circulation. Gratefully, Ben A. Green. Shelbvville, Term.”
( P. S. Friends, Mar)' Frances and I have a carport full of books. Wish even- one was in a library. We could gel: more primed for other folks.)
A Thoughtful Gift Indeed

Morada Club Keeps N. Calif. Walking
Thanks to Mrs. Robert L. Beardslee, One Atherton Island, Stockton 4, California, we have received information about the Morada Tennessee Walking Horse Club— that is apparently named for E. Morada Lane. Sounds like a fine idea for folks in a neighborhood or single city to mobilize their interests like this group did in 1955.
They organized the only Walking Horse Club in Northern California that meets regularly. It was difficult to mobilize enough Walkers for a show class but enthusiasm did the work.
Notv they have classes in all major shows in Northern California and the show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco attracts the finest Walkers in that elongated state( California measures 1,200 miles along the Pacific Ocean alone although actual length of the state is 780 miles, says a book on our shelf. Width varies from 150 to 350 miles.)
Present officers of the Morada Tennessee Walking Horse Club, all living in Stockton, are: George W. Ladd, president; Mrs. Ladd, secretary-treasurer; Harry Mclssac, 1st vice-president; and C. M. Stockard, 2nd vicepresident.
Active members are:
Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Beardslee, One Atherton Island, Stockton 4; Mr. and Mrs. Ollie Fields, 1319 W. Acacia St.; Mr. and Mrs. Walter Glenn, Sr., 9344 N. Cole Drive; Dr. and Mrs. Donald Harrington, 4644 E. Hildreth Lane; Dr. and Mrs. Graham Henderson, 7 W. Acacia St.; Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kasper, 505S E. Hickory Lane; Mrs. Tully Knoles, 688 W. Mendocino Ave.; Mr. and Mrs. George W. Ladd, 5325 E. Morada Lane; Mr. and Mrs. Adrian Light, Rt. 2, Box 986, Stockton; Mr. and Mrs. Ha it)' Mclsaac, Rt. 2, Box 770, Stock- Lon; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Peterson, 4621 Hildreth Lane; Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Stockard, Walnut Acres Road.
Walking Horse business would enjoy it,” says Paul H. Smith, Sr., Trivoli, 111. So he sends in a subscription for Clilf Anderson, Centerview, Mo. Paul said the Andersons have attended past Celebrations but Cliff’ s health does not permit it now. We will see the Smiths at the 1962 big show, however. So they promise. BAG.
Party Line
Good News From“ Our Girl Pearl”
The letter carrier brings good news from " Our Girl Pearl” Tompkins of Elmo, Montana. Her son, Frank, and family have returned to the ranch Lhat she has been running all by herself— except for Indians hired for heavy work. Pearl reports seven new colts— then the next morning a strip face, 3-stocking sorrel arrived. That made eight with two mares left to foal. Charter meeting of their association was scheduled June 2 at Whitefish. Mrs. Ann Turk of Big Sandy and Clark W. Allen of Billings new members.“ I want to tell you the list of registrations alone is worth more than your sub. price” says Pearl, Mary Frances— who copies the registrations at the Breeders’ Assn.— was glad to read that. BAG.
# * # Ann B. Ohrel Reports
One of the most effective letterheads we have seen brings word from Ann ' B. Ohrel( Mrs. M. G. Ohrel), Route 2, Box 242, Tucson, Ariz.“ As soon as I can find the time, I’ ll send you some news from out this way.”( Of course, the Ohrels manufacture news whereby they go— or rather wheever Danny Boy makes them go. Remember in the April Voice we carried a " lifesize” picture of Mrs. Ohrel on Danny Boy— just the way it ran in the Tucson Citizen— telling how the Ohrels went to Arizona because the weather would help Danny Boy’ s arthritis. That move launched Arizona’ s first Tennessee Walking Horse stable. BAG).
