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 .

# * # 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 ).
