Benefit Races Will Again ield Saturday, April 4 Inez Riding To go "bigtime" in writing up horse racing one should know more about words than "he ran" or "he won" or "he lost." Here I am a-gain a-gain trying to urge you good people peo-ple to go to Deseret Saturday, April 4, 2 p.m., to see some more ;acing, and those are all the words I know. Of course, it's true that hey do these things for fun, but, also, for our enjoyment and for the West Millard Hospital Fund. Believe me, these guys are on the BALL. Ray Brown, Clifford Adams and Van Warnick, the racing committee, commit-tee, are knocking themselves out to get new and different races for racing enthusiasts to view with joy and alarm each time. The newest and most different thing that I've heard for a long time is this SLOW HORSE race between be-tween Jim Kelly and Dean Talbot. Now these two figger to exchange horses, so it stands to reason that they're going to whip the horse they're riding, so that their own horse will be the proud title-owner of Slow Horse. Or does It stand to reason. Way back there, I lost myself my-self between the first and last verb! But, the point is, it should be good entertainment and one will have to go out to see that one. I'm not sure but that Frank P. T. Black, 83, To Be Honored At Open House Peter Thompson Black, lifelong resident of Millard County, will celebrate his S8th birthday Sunday, April 5, and will be honored at open house Sunday afternoon at his heme, 110 South 4th West, Delta. Friends are cordially invited to call, between 4 and 7 p.m. Mr. Black was born in Kanosn April 5, 1871, a son of Joseph Smith and Caroline Thompson BJack. He first came to Deseret in 1874 with his father, when Deseret w;as ji very new and young settlement. As a boy and young man, Mr. Black was no stranger to hard work, from dawn to dusk, as the new country wa developed for farming. During the years he has prospered, farming and raising livestock, live-stock, and also served with distinction distinc-tion in civic and church affairs. He married Isabelle J. Bennett in 1893, and they were parents of nine children, seven of whom are living, Averno T., Deseret; Nels C, American Fork; Golden H., Delta; LeGrand and Harold, and Mrs. Lill-ace Lill-ace Larson, Salt Lake City, and Mrs. Lora Skidmore, Walnut Creek, California. Mrs. Black died in 1934. In 193G Mr. Black married Carrie r Peter T. Black Hatch Tompson and their home has been in Delta, where Mr. Black had moved with his family in 1924. from Deseret. His family now numbers 124, with grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. great-grandchildren. Many of them will be with Mr. Elack Sunday for the family dinner at 1 p. rn., at lh.? Odd Fellows Hall, preceding the open house at his home. At S3 years, Mr. Elack enjoys good health, and is alert and active. ac-tive. His memory and his eyesight are equally keen, as well as his sense of humor, and he maintains a hearty interest in national and International In-ternational affairs. $3.50 a year in Advance Eaker and car might not be a good drawing card, either. Here he is all lined up with Clifford Adams on a horse, trying to out-run each other. If you saw the picture In last week's Chronicle, then you know that Frank was Just pulling ahead at that time. Maybe he'll have a flat tire this time or a spark plug will drop out and the horse will actually win. I admire a person like Willis Morrison and Veil Tolbert, They, too, are going to race a cap and a horse. Willis will be driving the car and Verl will be driv I mean riding the horse. These two are do termined to get the West Millard Hospital and are doing their bit to "fill the pot," so to speak. An event of special interest to all racing fans and foes of Sherman Sher-man Tolbert, along with his friends is the Vi mile relay. Sherm and his wife compose one team and their children are the challengers. I think his wife and children are much to be admired. I think the idea of this race is to show "Father" "Fath-er" that he isn't the only one that can ride a horse. Some of the other events that Ray, Clifford and Van have lined up are Evan Edwards and Ned Teeples in a 18 mile race; a mile relay with Ray Brown, Austin Johnson, Cluff Talbot and Clead Teeples. Jim Petersen and Rex day will race V4 mile; Kenneth Adams, Cluff Talbot, Ray Brown and others oth-ers will race 'i mile; girls open race and in the 38 mile race you will see Grant Hardy, Peck Kelly and Goldwyn Cluff and others. In one of those "others," one had better bet-ter be seviog Speed Riding or on" will be caliiwg him "chicken." So if you wsM a good afternoon's after-noon's entertainment and help build the hospital all with one simple operation, go out t Deseret Des-eret Saturday, April 4.
