1963-Voice Of The Tennessee Walking Horse 1963 March Voice | Page 34

32 March, 1963 ‘Party JZine Charles Helton Gives Us A ‘Big Lift’ Charles R. L. Helton, who hangs his hat in Eldred, Illinois, says “We get more pleasure from, this magazine man all the rest put together. (Out comes our chest with a puff) . Charlie has a black roan six-year-old Walking stallion with three stockings and a bald face. He is by Midnight Pleasure R. G. and out of Merry Maiden by Merry Boy. A full sister, 4-year-old will foal this May with Major Wilson B (1961 World's Grand Champion) being the daddy. Charles wonders about syndication which we will discuss elsewhere. His folks have a hobby of keeping pictures of World's Grand Champions and framing. They have a room that looks like a picture gallery—but they lack White Star, 1954 grand champion: Talk of the Town, 1951-52-53; Old Glory's Big Man 1950, Midnight Merry 1949, City Girl 1944, Black Angel 1943, Melody Maid 1942, Haynes Peacock 1940-41, Strolling Jim 1939. Can you help them? “We can hardly wait for your next issue,” writes Charlie in renewing his subscription. Great News to Mary Frances and also to BAG. -X -X -X Letter We Like To See James O. Jackson, Jr., chairman of the Russellville Lions Club Horse- Show in Alabama reminds us that the 11th annual Russellville show will take place on June 7 at night—and also adds a subscription to the Voire. Delighted, we are. Sorry To Miss Her Mrs, Floyd Castleman was espe­ cially distressed when she missed her February issue with Midnight Mack Kay on the front cover—because they have a direct son named Henry Mack Kay. So Mary Frances cranked up an­ other copy to her house in Salem, Conn. •x -x -x R. H. Carpenter, Jr. Wins 2 Hearts Here R. H. Carpenter, Jr. of Mobile Grinding Works, 64 North Joachim Street, Mobile, Ala., says “we are much interested in running an ad in your magazine, and we think services offered by our company would be s al liable to TW horse owners. They have a complete factory service shop for Sunbeam clippers and several other major brands. They also sharpen clipper blades and shears— have been in this sharp business for about 35 years. We will be happy to get this ad from R. H. and will guarantee it the greatest readability in the Tennessee Walking Horse field. -X -X -X Shrine Mounted Police Ride TWH In Jackson, Miss. Folks in Jackson, Miss, are lucky to have a Shrine Mounted Police Patrol mounted on Tennessee Walk­ ing Horses, says Louis C. Madison. Reminds us of the troop in Lubbock, Texas, where there are more paid subscribers of the Voice than in Shelbyville, Term. (Doesn't make much sense, does it.) Trainer Joe Webb's TRAINING AND CARE OF THE TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE Cecil James of Jackson is the captain of this mounted patrol rep­ resenting Wahabi Temple. These are beautiful high-stepping wearing flat saddles with set tails, braided manes and Cecil thinks the horses are shod with toe-weighted shoes. We hope to get a photo and detailed story about this outfit. Louis is a member and we herewith delegate him to get this material for the Voice. That will save us a letter and a post­ age stamp. Louis rides a prancing white stallion named Pinocchio Stroller—a line-bred Merry Boy horse. Hurray for Louis! Box 133-A, Route 1, Jackson, Miss.
