EDITOR’ S NOTE: Our dear friend and founder of the VOICE of The Tennessee Walking Horse Magazine, Ben A. Green has asked us to print this open letter to Mr. Robert A. Johnson of Portland, Oregon. We certain appreciate Mr. Green’ s complimentary remarks and assure him we will continue to strive to improve the VOICE for the betterment of the breed.
“ Mr. Robert A. Johnson, Portland, Oregon
Dear Mr. Johnson:
I have read an excerpt from your letter published on Page 90 of the Voice of the Tennessee Walking Horse Magazine of January date. You mention my name. The Voice now is far superior to any issue that my wife, Mary Frances, and I ever produced. Bruce Spencer and Gloria Spencer, and their splendid staff, have a far greater active interest and knowledge in the Walking Horse than we ever could
have.
They own horses, they love horses, they have capital with which to produce a superior magazine and they
do exactly that. Mary Frances and I had none of these things except a love for people. I have been a newspaperman for 45 years. I am 64 year old, a survivor of a traffic accident, a cancer operation that hospitalized me for 38
days, and formerly suffered from manic depressive trends that made my moods go up and down like a window shade.
We did the best we could to get something started like the Voice. We succeeded in a measure, then found the best equipped young people in this world to make the Voice a great and permanent horse magazine. More power to them. Please accept this open letter in the way it is intended.
Cordially yours,
BEN A. GREEN 1110 S. Brittain Street Shelbyville, Tenn.

" I started using Corona when I was at the Circle T Ranch out in Roanoke, Texas. It ' s the best antiseptic dressing and lubricant I ever found. The way it keeps horses from having quarter cracks, makes hair grow, and makes
callouses shed. " It ' s especially helpful to me, being a Tennessee Walking man. When I ' m shov / ing, I rub it on the horse ' s ankles before I put the boots on. That keeps the ankles from getting irritated. Keeps sores from coming up. And, if any of my horses get chain sores, I rub it in every night and bandage the ankles. In three to five days, the hair will start coming through and the callouses will shed. Corona really gets down in there and soothes. '' Another thing. When the coronary band gets dry and hard, it busts and leaves quarter cracks. If you ' ll apply Corona around the band ' s edge— only takes two or three minutes to work it in— you ' ll see that crack healing within 8 to 10 days. " Corona is good for harness sores, girth galls, rope burns, too. It ' s the best remedy for foundered horses— keeps the soles of their feet soft and flexible. And the race track people recommend it for hobble sores. " It ' s easy to see, I swear by Corona. Try it. You will, too."
