SHELBYVILLE MISCELLAN-!
EOUS— The war has had its effect, on the naming of horses and colts. This applies both to Walking Horses! and Saddle Horses and Gaited Pon- i ies. Several entered on the Celebra-! tion Horse Show program are named!
General McArthur. Only one can have that name as is— the others are preceded by the name of the person who owns them. There’ s a
JEAN McARTHUR and a Jean Faircloth. Also, such names as FIRST
LIEUTENANT, TOP SERGEANT, and BUC PRIVATE. There’ s also a BOMBARDIER, a SLAP-A-JAP and a MR. DEFENSE STAMP. These are names that have bobbed up since Pearl Harbor.
And speaking of the last-named horse: All net profits from the Celebration Horse Show will be invested
in war bonds by the executive committee which is composed of Clyde Tune, chairman; Franklin Boyd, vice chairman; Phil Scudder, secretarytreasurer; and William Parker, finance chairman.
