The
Duke Wanted
To Be Cowboy'
Although the Duke of Windsor's famous herd of Shorthorn cattle have been sold by auction at the "E.P." ranch in Turner Valley, Calgary, Alberta, the Duke has no intention of selling the ranch itself.
Professor W. L. Carlyle, be- spectacled, 70-years-old agent and manager of the estate, said that the Duke regards the ranch
as a good income.
