To Hire Veterans in

The best way to reduce veterans
unemployment in the District Is
for employers to initiate on-the job
training programs, Fred z. Hetzel,
Washington director of the United
States Employment Service, told
more than 40 employer association
representatives yesterday.
1--WE now have about 5000 veterans
out Of work in the Washington
area who need jobs" he said. "We
think on-the-job training is the
answer"
Mr.. Hetzel, as a member Of the
District Veterans Advisory Commit
tee, called the meeting to talk over
procedures of setting up the pro-
grams and to ask the representa-
tives to urge that employers initiate
more training.
Resentment Noted.

that it is relatively simple to start
a program, and that it can be car

The District program was lauded

the race, too, and August Rose, both fast
horses. The other four in the starting lineup
didn't count Miller figured. Johnny Jump-up
and Sunny Day we're weak contenders at
best, and the other two were only in for the
exercise.
MILLER always instructed his jockeys the
same way: Il don't need you at all. Put lead
weights on her, and it's just as good. She
knows how to run, and she knows what's
best for her But the racing board insists
horse must carry jockey So just 60 along

and don't raise your bat to her. She's never

The horses were circling around the start

the race would start before the freeze"
wore off.
A horse won't run when its leg is shot with
pain, but there is an old track trick that
takes care of this It's a matter of packing

the leg with ice, binding it, and freezing"
the injured tendons, temporarily immunizing
the hurt.
But the danger is that the freeze some
times wears off before the race is over; in
that case the leg may buckle under, causing
the horse to fall; at the very least, the sud-
den shooting pain may cripple the animal to
such an extent that it can't possibly win.
Miller had been dead against using the
freeze, but he was assured it would last the
race out, and he desperately needed today's
purse Lassie Lou was the only horse he
owned, or had ever owned; but more than
that, she was his only worldly possession,
physical or spiritual.
Miller had been a chicken man, but the
first day he saw Lassie Lou, a gangling,
spindling- legged colt, he'd fallen in love with
her
He'd bought her for six hundred dollars,
all the money he had in the world. The fact
that the mare that foaled her had never won
race, and her sire had won only one start
in fifty, meant nothing to him. He hadn't
known anything about horses then.
He raised Lasse Lou on his chicken ranch,
trained her, worked her out himself She was
his life. A trick horse, she could do everything
but talk. When she got to be a two-year old,
he sold the ranch and the chickens and de-
voted himself to racing her.
And in these past two years, she'd become
almost phenomenon. Running in Class
events she'd won almost consistently. Yet
in spite of her record, no one except Miller
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-08-25

had ever said she was what is called great"
horse When Miller insisted she was, people
only smiled. Even the experts" looking at
her time, would not concede it. They usually
"doped'' her out of the money, making her
long shot.
1t Infatuated Miller He never bet He
could have made thousands on Lassie Lou,
but he had queer notion about racing for
the sake of the race, and he wanted her
recognized for the horse she was.
1t was futile though. He himself lived
meagerly on Lasse LOUIS small purses, and
for year now, in order to save against the
day she wouldn't be able to race any more,
he'd slept in her stable, on cot There was
hay in the stable. and two chickens, because
Lassie Lou remembered chickens from her
yearing days and liked them around.
By sCRIMPINC, and combined with the purse
from Lassie LOUIS last race, Miller had
managed to save $4,000. He had it hidden
away in the stable.
Then suddenly two days ago working out
on hard track, Lassie Lou had come in
with hurt fore-leg.
There'd never been a kinder owner than
Miller. His first impulse was to retire the
horse.
He didn't want her to suffer and if she
couldn't race any more, he was through
with racing too He looked around for a
chicken ranch, and found one. But the price
was forty-fve hundred dollars There was
nothing cheaper anywhere. He was fifteen
hundred short. He remembered today's race.
The purse was $500, of which $500 went
to the winner

The story of a great horse, of
man who loved her - and
other men who understood her
A Short Story
MULLER was with the public the two
lVl dollar betters, in the grandstand, and
he stood at the wire fence, the mob pushing
around him. The horses were parading to
the post, and everyone wanted to see. The
sun was hot Miller watched his horse.
She looks all right, he thought; Number
Six, Billie Jenkins aboard. Fortunately, the
weight was only hundred and five. Accord
ing to her class she should have been carrying
a hundred and eleven but she'd hurt her
right foreleg. and somehow he'd managed to
get the handicap weight lowered. She was
passing directly opposite him and he called
out her name: 'Lassie Lou -"
She was excited and sweating, and did not
hear him. Billie Jenkins, the jockey. felt her
nervousness, and he leaned forward, patting
her and talking in her ear Miller was glad
he did that.
For almost minute after that, he could
breathe Then he couldn't any more - not
what you'd call breathing.
Gay Spirit was following Lassie Lou His
head turned to the tote board. (The owner
of Gay Spirit swore that his horse always
looked at the odds. Crazy, of course, but it
was true that Gay Spirit, a fine horse, intel
ligent too, always gazed for several minutes
