June 6, 1941.

Anti-Sport War at Home

TWO WEEKS AGO the "Telograph" reprinted an article by Bon Robertson, "P.M." correspondent in London on the anti-racing (gray- hounds and horses) agitation that had found its way to the Press. Below are the articles in the "Daily Express" that gave rise to Robertson's com.

BACKYARD POULTRY and pir keepers may get more food for their hens and pigs. Owners of race- horses and greyhounds may get less,

The Minister of Agriculture, the authorily primarily concerned with Anding food for all Animais, has set its experts to work. They have to decko whether it is better to encourage an increased

production of bacon or provide for a continuation borse and greyhound racing.

Indications are that bacon will win.

There are nearly twice as many racehorses in iraining now as in the

Inst war. And while never more ****** than fifty greyhounds run at a track meeting, dogs in training average 1001 66, for each truck

If horses and greyhounds were cut by 50 per cent. there would be 10,- 000,000 more eugs and about 1,000,- 000 lbs, more bacon available for our national food supply.

Official Statement

SAID un official of the Ministry of

Agriculture:

"If the Cabinet says racing must continue it is our job to provide food for the horses in training. And, of course, greyhounds must be fed, too. "We are faced with this edict, sup- ported by lenders of the workers!

WHO does this fellow Kenneth Pipe think he is? And where does he want to lend his faithful readers? He says that horse-racing is sinful in wartime. Thirty-two horses going to the tapes at Lincoln on Wednesday could, if they weren't racing, lay. 208,800 BES. He reckons that fantastle sum by the amount of oats horses cat that might be eaten by hens,

He reckons, too, that six greyhounds rachu together for 45 seconds mean the loss of two pigs to the nation's larder.

Dancing

MEN are young. for a briefer speil

than women.

They soon grow out of the charm of, rhythm and pro- pinquity.

Yet, because a dance hall has been bombed the police talk about shut- ting dance halls when sirens gu. What hasn't been bombed, and when don't the sirens go?

It is to achieve the national rulo of dispersal that the police lanker after this thing. Spread the people apart, say the authorities. That is the only way to safely for most, And that is right.

But Isn't it sense that if you shut dance halls you should also shut shel- ters? Why should it be safe for people to congregate to sleep when it is dangerous to get together lo donce?
