LITTERS
within the first week after receiving
my January issue and one man was
even kind enough to include color
pictures of KING. He is 18 years old
and still breeding in Oklahoma. 1
feel that this response compliments
your magazine on its excellent cov­
erage and circulation. Many thanks
to you, your magazine and the con­
siderate people everywhere who took
time to contact me.

Dear Mr. Spencer:
The Shelby ville meeting of the Ten­
nessee Walking Horse Trainers’ As­
sociation was productive as far as
we are concerned, in that it probably
created a firm foundation for mu­
tually beneficial cooperation between
AHA and the TWHTA.
We tend to favor self-regulation
by the various industries, organiza­
tions and individuals involved. Our
considerable experience in this area
indicates that this is effective when
those involved are sincere in at­
tempting to follow the prescribed
standards.
The American Humane Associa­
tion has worked successfully for ma­
ny years in assisting various groups
through mutual understanding and
workable, working relationships to
achieve better child and animal pro­
tective programs. This industry in­
cludes the motion picture and tele­
vision industries, American Horse
Shows Association, Tennessee Walk­
ing Horse Association, Rodeo Cow­
boys Association, and many others.
If the proposals, bylaws and rules
of TWHTA are rigorously followed
by all concerned, the problem of
soreing of Tennessee Walking Horses
should soon be a thing of the past.
We of AHA stand ready to assist in
every possible way to bring this
about.
Sincerely,
R. T. PHILLIPS
Executive Director
The American Humane Association

of KING OF MIDNIGHT, and after

Dear Mr. Spencer:
After reading the March 1968 is­
sue of the VOICE and re-readingthe
excellent anniversary tribute to
MERRY GO BOY, I felt that I should
write and let you know my enjoy­
ment in the article. One of the pic­
tures in this section that most in­
trigued me was that of a back issue
of the BLUE RIBBON, the Celebra­
tion magazine. Would you have any
idea of where, or to whom, I could
write, to obtain back issues of this
magazine? I have most of the recent
issues (from 1960 to the present) and
also the 1952 edition, but I am very
much interested in obtaining a full
set of these magazines, from the 1939
one on.
Any information that you might
have would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
