Conversations , Observations On Our Party Line
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Hundreds of letters have come to us offering all possible help to make this magazine a permanent success . Here ’ s where we need some help : Most magazines of this nature are sponsored by some organization that : helps it get started . The Voice is not sponsored by any group . We are gain ing circulation with amazing speed , Reaching the Interested People . We need advertising support and have not had time or energy to develop it . We need Volunteer Advertisers . Especially we need folks who believe in the
Voice to Sponsor Pages . A page costs SI25 , but someone can sponsor less than that if desired . One Friend Sponsored the page in the April issue that sent a letter to the Editor of the Boston Globe . Manv friends may want to sponsor the page in this issue that tells the story of Betty Sain with her filly colt . Any number can sponsor any page in any issue , past , present or future . We will be glad to acknowledge same or keep it a secret . ( BAG ).
OUR PARTY LINE

Correct This Dumb Error
The Voice Editor takes full responsibility for a dumb error in the story about W . Henry Davis ’ funeral on Page 3 in Issue No . 2 . Please take pen and ink and correct that dale to read 1962 instead of 1961 . Please do that right now and make us feel better . So 10 years from now somebody will not have an important date incorrect in their file of the Voice . Now it ’ s your responsibility .

News Of George W . Hill , Jr .
One of our new-found friends is George W . Hill , Jr ., of 1315 N . Magnolia , El Cajon , Calif . Mr . Hill has been in the hospital lately for a physical examination and has experienced some illness . All who love the Tennessee Walking Horse join in well wishes for this fine gentleman who has meant so much for the breed . He was one of the “ early warriors " for the Walker on the Pacific Coast — being on the association committee that pushed through state recognition of the breed before it was recognized by the U . S . Dept , of Agriculture . It has cost him thousands of dollars to carry on promotion efforts in his locality .
The Voice hopes to save thousands for others by doing a real promotion job for everybody . Mr . Hill says “ I \ am greatly in sympathy with your work . I can assure you iL will be quite an effort but I believe success is ahead .”
Mr . Hill has a black mare ( with white hairs ) by Merry Go Boy — named Go Boy ' s Walking Doll , and also one not registered . Big Time Gal , a beautiful chestnut " that can really go ." He shipped them out from Ky . nearly two years ago . They are just for pleasure . Mr . Hill is 73 years old and retired from business 7 years ago because of disability . ( But we can tell from his letters , that any disability he may have , does not include the top of his head . He ' s a smart man . BAG .)
