still with us. The small things
like bread, and so much to go

continued prosperity and all

thanks for that, even though
many of us know that it is not
the find of freedom that was
formerly ours. Let's give
thanks for our places of abode
and those within it who are
well and be ever thoughtful
for those who can't fully en-
joy the day because of impaired
health. Let's give thanks for
the love of little children and

let us give thanks for a loving
heavenly Father who showers
us with these blessings and
whose loving care is a continu-

Some harness tracks are wide
enough to accommodate 8 to 10
horses abreast leach entry is re-
quired to have a minimum of 8
feet of space) but at Harrington
only six can be started abreast.
This means that to take care of
eight starters, six are started in
the first tier with two in the Sec
ond tier behind numbers one and
two. These are positions seven
and eight.
Whether or not these two Sec
ondtier positions are desirable
depends on the initial speed of
the horses in positions number
one and two. If these horses get
started quickly, the two horses
in the second tier can move into
good inside psitions. However, if
the two horses in positions one
and two break slowly at the start,
they block the two horses in the
seventh and eighth starting posi-
tions.
Regulations at the Kent and
Sussex Raceway specify that if a
horse in the first tier is removed
from a race, it does not affect
positions seven and eight. The
horses in the first tier simply
move in according to number of
horses declared out of the race.

Delaware Food Market
Report

Fresh oysters are back in sea-
son, and supplies are adequate
though not plentiful. This food,
according to the Nutrition Founda-
tion, Is a powerhouse of vitamins
and minerals, and contains at the
same time a good supply of high
quality protein. A single order of
oysters contains approximately 100
milligrams of calcium-an amount
nearly on a par with the calcium
in a glass of milk. Oysters also
score very high in iron, vitamin A
and components of vitamin B. Yet
with all of this, oysters Ga half
dozen) contain only 65 to 20 cal
ories-an ideal food for those who
are reducing. Don't forget, it's
what you add to oysters that make
the calories jump, not the oyster
itself.
Other sea food in season and, al
so, in good supply are fresh. shrimp,
sea and bay scallops, crab meat,
hard. clans, Holsters, Spanish and
king mackerel. porgies and whit
ing. You will find plenty of froz-
en- shrimp and lobster meat at the
market also.
Red meat continues to be plenti-
full. This weekend check your
favorite grocery for good buys on
the following RIB roast of beef,
ground beef, pot roasts, leg-of-lamb,
shoulder roasts of lamb and COM
bination packages of lamb. There
is good supply OF veal on hand,

HARNESS RACING
by
KENT SUSSEX
X Z Mt SUSSEX

At the Kent and Sussex Race
way, as at any other track, it is a
matter of pure geometry that the
shortest distance around an oval
race track is along the inside rail.
No one knows this better than a
harness race driver and, for that
reason, most of them would pre-
Ter to have what is referred to as
the pole position" in a race.
But since it is impossible to
give this choice position to all
who want it. a specified proce-
dure has been set up by the
United States Trotting Associa-
ton for allocating post positions.
At a specified time known to
the horsemen, the presiding
judge at the Kent and Sussex
Raceway will open the box con-
tanning entries for a particular
race and take out the entry
forms which the owners have
previously deposited there to In
dicate their desire to have a
horse entered in the race.
At the Harrington track en-
tries for a race must be deposited
by the owner or his representa-
tive by 900 am, two days prior
to the date of the race.
Since it is required that at
least two horsemen be present
when post positions are drawn.
the time of such drawing is an
nounced on the track public ad-
dress system.
The post positions at Harring-
ton are determined by shaking
numbered pills from a container.
with each horseman who has
horse entered in the race receiv-
ing one. The pills numbered from
] to 8 give the. horseman the
post position of his horse.
