Just like the horse and jockey in the upper left hand
corner, most of us are patiently waiting for the races to
start.

Come to think of it, the horse could represent our ability
and reputation. Trouble is, there's not many race tracks in
operation just at present, and maybe our horse is getting old,
or broken down and winded, or we've been ruled off the course.
In that case we're in a helluva fix.

Anyway, we’re all here in the receiving barn, waiting for
the races to start — each of us thinking if we could find a
"spot" we could win out. Gate and exercise are furnished to
us regularly, but we all wish sonebody Would start the races
again.

He've been running arouid just for the fun of it for some
time new, but it's getting to be pretty monotonous racing for
a non-existent purse. There isn‘t much'we can do atout it, and
most of us need new "racing plates" before we could start, and
if the Track Tanager doesn‘t open up a few tracks seen our horses
will all have sparins, and be no good at all.

we have an idea there‘s a lot of us thinking seriously
of putting our horses through a sausage grinder and making
hamburger out of them - and to hell with the races. But what'll
we do then if the races should start up again? It’s the only
horse we'll ever have. Oh, well. 'tsk, 'tsk, Gee up, Dobbin.

"They’ll have pensions too, "said Bill. ”Nobody will be left out in

on Government projects and saving some money so we can get going again.
Four billion dollars will be spread around plenty and we'll all got our

"Unit a minute, Bill,” We remonstratod. "Your statements don't fit in

expanding into noW'and larger quarters - this information is in all the
