Quiz For MdrYldnders
Answer to Question 1:


Yes. Governor Bowie was the
President of the Maryland Jockey
Club and an enthusiastic breeder
of fine Thoroughbred Stock. AS
Governor of the State of Mary
land and President of the Mary
land Jockey Club he fostered the
breeding of good race horses and
high class racing in Maryland.
One Of the famous Stake Races
held at Pimlico is named in
honor of Governor Bowie. Truly,
the breeding and racing of fine
Thoroughbreds is real Mary
land tradition.
Answer to Question 2:
Racing in Maryland is sup
ported by two groups of people
and only two-the horsemen
who bring their horses to Mary
land to race and the public who
witness the racing. The State of
Maryland does not provide one
dollar for the support of racing.
1t is the horsemen and the public
that really make racing in Mary
land possible.
Answer to Question 8:
In 1915, of all the money
which the Maryland Jockey Club
took in at the Pimlico Race
Course, "a per cent was taken
by the State of Maryland and

Negro labor has been the first
TO be released with the closing down
Of war plants, thus adding aggra-
waited unemployment problems to
those caused by environmental dis

THE veteran returning home
filled with a new hope, ambition
and expanded horizon, therefore
finds himself viewing an exceed
ingly confused scene. His problem,
under the best circumstances,
would be a difficult one-but under
current conditions there is a highly
magnified Illustration which in
some areas is reaching unwhole-
some proportions.
ION the surface one might not
sense the trend, for additionally
the white population finds it more
convenient to ignore his black fell
low citizens, thus maintaining that
there is no problem. An impartial
investigation readily indicates a
rude awakening, and this in the
not far distant future.
THE record Of progress which
has been made by the Negro in
almost every field over the past
ninety years against the most
unbelievable odds, is an achieve
ment Of which any people could
be truly proud. For US or for
them to plan for the future with
out a realistic recognition of the
fact that, in spite Of these spec
tacular advances, tremendous
race prejudice is still existent
would be myOpie, 10 say the least.
"Sinee the white population is
in the dominant position, it is
more than appropriate for them
to take the leadership in plan
ming and assuring equal OppOr-
tunity for all. The Negro, on
the other hand, has a great re-
spOnsibility in maintaining stand
ards Of performance and depend
ability, for il is only through
demonstrated capacity that the
shaekles of prejudice may be cut
away.
1T may be noted that the
writer has depressed mOmentarily

population. This is necessary
because his color nullifies the
fact that he is a veteran.
IF the Negro veteran is TO

be too strongly emphasized that
