Redwood Men, Veterans Of Many Years with the Sport
Are Literally Walking Encyclopedias on Harness Racing

Anyone who visits the Rich
wood Fairgrounds this spring to
watch the so or more horses
which are being worked out at
the north end track, is sure to
come across Uncle Henry" Ad-
ans who has been figure in
sulky racing in Union County for
more than go years.
Although Uncle Henry has
given up driving he is still one OF
most inexaustible knowledge of
spring workouts and has an al
most inexhaustable knowledge of
horses and race horse history
Mr. Adams began his long and
fruitful connection with the trot-
ting horse business in 1886 when
he purchased his first horse. He
raced the horse, whose name was
K. p, only one season. Since that
time he estimates that he has
owned and raced more than 80
horses.
Last Race At Kenton
Last time l drove was two
years ago at Kenton," Uncle Hen
nv recalled. 81 won two races
at that meet" However the years
have begun to creep up on him
and he no longer takes an active
part in the races although he
still owns a horse and expects to
race it this summer.
Uncle Henry has lived in Rich
wood all of his ( years with the
exception of three years when he
I moved to Marion when he was
working horses on the track there.
| "The track at the Redwood
Playground is the best half-mile
track in Ohio" Uncle Henry de-
clares. If anyone is qualified to
make such statement he is the
one, because, as several of the
horse owners and drivers around
the track put it, Hes raced on
enough of them to know.
Of the so horses being worked
out at the Redwood oval nine of
them are under the care of one of
Uncle Henry's closest friends, By
ron Perry. Mr.. Perry is still very
active because as Mr.. Adams put
it, He's IL ar l3 years younger
than | am"
Both of these men can almost
always be found at the racetrack
which is already in very good
shape, now that warmer weather
is here and the temperature is
conducive to sitting along the
rail watching the horses GO
through their PAGES.
Everyone is a timer at these
spring workouts and stop watches
are in great abundance as the
observers clock the animals ir
their trial runs.
1t is men like Henry Adams
and Byron Perry that are the real
heart of the trotting horse bus
mess. Men who can tell the faults
and good points of an animal
with a glance as he trots around
the track. Their opinions are re-
spected by everyone and they car
bring back memories of horses
and owners that most of us have
forgotten or never even heard Of

sia could never be wrong, which is, of course, equally absurd. Interested observer during the interview was pretty Mrs. Bunche. Five-year-old Ralph, a handsome, active and quite pfecocious young ster, fitted in and out the room until Father Bunche Automatically persuaded him it was bedtime.
 Objects To $50 Dinner Just before we left, we had a splendid example of the human warmness of this man who has been called by The New York Times ''the outstanding Negro in the world.
 A group of top-level socialities had planned Waldorf-Astoria dinner in his honor-a benefit for the National Conference of Chris tians and Jews. Tickets were be- ing sold at $50 plate. He had asked that the dinner be cancelled because, as he put it:
 "Most of my life I've been a professor and in government serv- ice. I object to the principal of a fifty-dollar dinner because most of my friends could not afford to at tend"
 It was fortnight remark, prov ing that an able man who has made headlines around the world, who is one of the foremost factors in the news events of the day and who handled a crucial world situation with great skill integrity and fi- nesse is still the Ralph Bunche so many of his friends knew and ad- mired before he became the cynos- ure of the eyes of the world.
 Another example of this was
New England bulletin., 1949-05-14

his statement, reverting to the pos sible offer of a high government job.
 "I have a great deal of faith in the United Nations. There is where I feel the charter for world peace may be written. If were to leave LIN, I think I should likely want to return to my profession-that of teaching"
New England bulletin., 1949-05-14

the Palestine assignment one of the most complicated in the his tory of mediation is that there were actually eight parties involved, rather than two or three.
 Dr. Bunche explained that his dealings were with the Jewish state of Israel and the even Arab states-a1l of whom are independ- ent and have different policies and attitudes.
 Presently, he is involved on the last leg of Palestine problem - that of negotiations with Syria. Every morning he leaves his beau tifully-appointed home in the LIN development here and goes to his office at LIN. His life these days is one merry-go-round of newspa- permen, photographer, well-wish- CTS, friends, folks who want to ap- pear on this program or that. He hasn't had a vacation since 1941, going from war work to OSS, the State Department and finally, the LIN.
 He's A Tired Man
 Although the Palestine Mediator is fit and looking his capably alert self, he is a very tired man. He has been under tremendous strain, not only mental, but, in actual physical danger-a fact which he shrugs off.
 He's looking forward to the con- clusion of the Syrian negotiations SO that he can take a long, long vacation. He says his plan for a vacation is a vacation without plan.
 CT just want to pick up and leave with the family, go anywhere I want to go, do anything I want to do-fishing, hunting. Just re- lax. No schedule or routine"
 Certainly, he won't want to see any newspaper folk for long time. It is hard to understand how politan dailies, wire services and representatives of Negro papers are constantly at his heels. Harpers and Golfers magazines are doing exhaustive features on him, trail ing him about daily.
 He finds it necessary to stick pretty close to the city. The other night he was on his way into the National Broadcasting studios when he received a message that he was urgently needed back at LIN due to important developments in Pal estine. It's pretty much of rough life for him.
 We wondered what he thought about MT. Robeson's Paris state ment. He said it was "an absurd thing for Paul to have said" and implies that it is possible that Rus

Ralph Bunche ,one of the ten most important world citizens to- day has never stopped teaching. His courage and power to keep unswervingly to a principal have taught the world of today a les- son which that world or students of history tomorrow cannot ever forget.
New England bulletin., 1949-05-14

Twenty years of study and work in the area of colonial problems has made Dr. Bunche an expert. It is his first love in the thrilling, important field of dealing with world problems. His assignment in Palestine, he looks upon as a "strange interlude."
 Rumors have been persistent that the brilliant Dr. Bunche would ac- cept an offer to become an As sistant Secretary of State in the Truman Administration. The in- ternationally-famed diplomat who gave the world an example of sterl- ing courage and resolution when he took over critical negotiations in Palestine after the assassina- tion of Count Bernadotte, indicated that he would like to continue his work with the United Nations.
 In the event he were offered a post in the National Government, pr. Bunche explained, he would consider it 8 great honor. However, he indicated his first interest lies and would probably remain in the colonial trusteeship problem.
 "As a father of three children, I have a very special interest in what kind of world ours is going to be-" he continued.
 'Unpleasant Fan Mail''
 Interesting sidelight on what went on behind the scenes at Pal estine was revealed when we asked Dr. Bunche for some particulars about unpleasantnesses he had en- countered early in the negotiations. We had in mind his being charged with anti-Jewish prejudice.
 "I never had any trouble with the people of Palestine," he an swered calmly. ''I received a num- Der of nasty letters last fall and right through December. They all came from New York. never had an unpleasant note from an Arab or Jew over there. All my un- pleasant fan mail was from here." He smiled as he said this.
 "Since I was dealing with the Jews and Arabs there in Palestine and only with them, the observa- tions of people in New York who did not and could not understand had no bearing on my actions or decisions" he added. "What was being said here didn't bother me"
 Dr. Bunche is happy, however, that, in light of his handling of the situation, those who had ac- cused him of anti-Semitism are left without a leg to stand on.
