Happily. today's teen-agers
still have a sincere. whole
some, old-fashioned feeling
about Thanksgiving.
While many adults are for
getting it's true meaning and
are turning Thanksgiving
into a commercial venture,
teens still consider it a family
day, a time for acknowledge
ing their blessings and eating
with gusto.
This is an attitude, surely,
which even the severeSt OF
the teen generations critics
would find hard to argue
with.
We recently asked several
hundred teen-agers to tell us
what THANKSGIVING means to
them.
"a time when the family
can get together and thank
God for all its blessings"
said 14-year-old John Upton
of Detroit. Seven of every
10 youngsters agree with
John.

he appreciated the trouble the

BOBBY CAN RIDE IN 1862
Rocing Men Surprised
By Cut in Martin Ban
BY JOSEPH B. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

Jockey Bobby Martin, once
suspended for ''life" by the
Maryland State Racing Com

after a meeting of the Horse

tive Association at Pimlico
Wednesday night. The news
surprised everybody and
stunned some racing people.
LIVES announcement was
so casual that even ]. William
Graham, commission secretary,
said he didn't know Martin had
been officially reinstated.
Flanagan Surprised
Joseph F. Flanagan, COM
mission steward at all Mary
land tracks, said: This is the
first I've heard about it. Nat
urally, I'm surprised"
Ed Mcmahon, head of thu

said he learned Of the MartiI
ruling only yesterday. Lik,

When asked why the com

"Oh, that's the regular pro
cedure when someone plead
guilty as charged. It's a genera
practice to tighten a man
sentence if he takes a guilt.

The ruling will make it pos

This was the second major
penalty against the rider. In
1851 he was set down for life
for betting against a horse he
rode at Laurel. This later was
reduced to four years and he
regained his license. Before
1851 Martin had been penalized
26 times for various infractions.

Ashlar. He will be opposed by
Cross Channel, 11O, Manticora,
ITO, Ram, 100, Revoque, 108,
Seventy Six, 104, and Riversun,
103.
Ashlar is the probable favor
ite. He dropped a neck decision
a week ago to Ais Pride in the
Extreminator Handicap. Earlier
in the meeting he won the Riggs
Handicap and was beaten a nose
by Lii Fella in the Turf Cup
at Laurel.
The Racing Commission eX-
pected to announce the 1860
schedule for Maryland's four
harness tracks today, but dates
for half-mile running tracks,
also expected today. have not
been decided. There was no
indication of when the half
milers will know their schedule.
Interest centers on whether
the commission will schedule
the Bel Air and Cumberland
meetings at a mile track, as
Livie earlier indicated might
be done.
Betting continued on the
strong side yesterday, with a
crowd of 1892 wagering
$987,427.
