Ben W. Heath an offlclgl of the
Coastal Petroleum company, with
headquarters at 8t. Petersburg.
Fla., and one time engaged in pub
licity of equestr^ promotional
work here in Camden in a prepared
manuscript dealing with the
“horse" industry in Camden,
pleads for cooperation with Harry
D. Kirkorer to make Camdon the
No. 1 training spot for America’s
finest flat and lump horses.
Mr. Heath, in hisi manuscript
refers to the fact that the CamdeU
man on the street’s reaction to
any statement apropos to the horse
situation is “We’re go to stop
thinking about horses around here
and get in some real industry.’’
The writer’s rebuttal to this
sparkling, intelligent (?) state
ment is that the horse program is
an industry and he cites the fi
nancial benefits that come to feed
stores, ^ hardware stores, black
smith shops, restaurants, food
shops, filling stations. Just to men
tion a few.
The theme of Mr. Heath’s docu
ment is “Camden’s Place in the
National Horse Training Picture."
The text follows:
"One of the moat
In the world is to
that his own bac
duce' rosea Just as
and beautiful as those growq by
his next-door neighbor. So it gpes
with any number of things. ’l%e
one I’m going to write about is an
old one and perhaps getting to be
a sore spot: it’s (Camden’s place In
the national horse training picture.
"The first reaction of Camden’s
man on the street to uy state
ment apropos to the hone situa
tion is inrariably, ‘We’re got to
stop thinking about horses around
here and get ns some real indus
try.' Sparkling, intelligent com
ment, Isn’t It? Now let’s take it
apart In the first place. CamdMi’s
horse program is an industry. If
you hare any doubts about it take
a little trip around to your mer
chants—the feed stores, hardware
stores, blacksmith shop, restau
rants, food shops and Riling sta
tions, Jnst to mention a few—and
ask them what the horse program
means to them. 1 think yon would
Rnd them In fsiror of building It
up. not disregarding it or tearing
it down.
“In 1946, Camden-trained ‘chas’
ers literally burned up the Eastern
circuit: Elkridge, -Burma Road,
Raylyn and War Battle—only to
mention a few—were in-the-money
in all of the big stakes. To climax
a highly siMCMsful year. Miller’s
pride and named ‘8teeple-
chaser of tlm Tear’, an honor he
had earned once before In 1942
With a lltUe-luck, this high flying
son of kfate will cop at least two
more of the big stakes this year,
which would make him the all-time
steeplechase money winner. So In
iU first real post-war year, Cam-

“J. T.”
den hOTM training plant waa ru-
ceiving floods of reserratlons for
■table spaeo and it looked as
though things were really going to
hum. Thea came the trailc and
untimely ^j^lre that destroyed about
fifty or more of the best stalls!
Harry Kirkorer, I know, tried
eYsiytking la his power to get
those stables rebuilt in time to
take care of the people who want
ed to come to Chimden to train
their horses. But I don’t think
Camden people offered too much
help to this campion of the cause
at a Ume ho most certainly could
have used it Hot dog stands and
other Junky little structures went
up all over—It only meant knowing
the right guy at the right time—
but repeated requests for materials
to rebuild 8pringdales bam were
equally unsuccessful.
“So the season rolled around and
the people who wanted to bring
their horses to Camden had to
take them to Aiken. No. the train
ing plant in Aiken can’t compare
with the one In Camden, but they
did have plenty of stalls and that
is something yon can't get along
without. To be sure, they got busy
down there and built a course of
four fine Jumps in the infield of
the ‘Whitney Field’ i-t mile track
Just to take care of the ’chasers
needs. Thw were only temporary,
of course, but it served the pur
pose.
“Here is what William Post, Jr.,
who is an authority on the Ameri
can horse and polo situation, lue
to say about it: ‘There are very
few ‘chasers in Camden (they
didn’t have any place to pot..them
or they could have bepn there),
but we are willing to do every
thing we can for them. More ’chas
ing training focilltles are desirable
in Alkep, for ms it now stands
Harry D. Xlrkover’s Camden
Springdale course has far more
to offer (all except stable space
and that certainly isn’t his fault)’.
"All thif is not idle chatter. If
you have any doubts that steeple-
chasing Is coming back stronger
than it has ever been in the United
States, take a look at the increas
ing, purses lA Jhe big stakes and
over night imeSs on t^ spring pro
gram alone: Belmont recently an
nounced a card of five sUkes. with
the International, Charles Appleton
and Corinthian, all at $10,000. and
the Meadowbrook with a top of
$15,000; the Belmont Spring Maid
en has $6,000, and PlmHco and
Welaware Park are also listing
Spring Maidens with like pnrsets.
Stakes at Aqueduct include the
Hitehcook and the Lion Heart, at
$10,000 each, and the Amagmnsett
and CagHoetro Hdrdle Handicaps,
both carrying $7,600 purses. And
these are only the spring dates.
Purses for the complete season—
spring, summer and fall—make it
a big business.
“And what happens when a Mil
ler. Ryan or Woolfe trained nag
cops a big stake? Well, It is gen
erally something like this: ‘Say,
Miller’s horses are really in great
shape. Where did he condition? I
kn^w the answer, brother, but
don’t get enthused 'cause thgt
sweet little set-up is all sealed up
—no'more stable space.’ %
“I haven’t talked with Harry
Klrkover about this lately, but I
think he has hopes of having
those burned out spaces available
when they are ready to come back
next winter. Don’t let it go at
that, though. Some of you more
influential bnslnsu men who are
really interested In Camden’s in
dustrial growth go up to him and
ask him about it. Ask him if he
needs any help getting this or that
Ask him if it wouldn’t be a good
idea to build a hundred more
stalls out there (I assure you they
would be filled). And if you’re in
terested in seeing it grow into a
reallr big thing, ask him if * i*
wouldn’t be a good idea to have
another measured mile flat train
ing track for the speed merchants
Records hong up by Phalanx and
a host of other fine flat performers
schooled at the Scott track only
go to prove that the climate and
soil conditions that put ‘chasers in
top shape can do Just aa much
for their oval bound brethren. .Good
source has it that such a plant
would bring 600 additional horses
to Camden’s green pastures. Did
you ever figure out how much
hay and feed 500 horses can burn
up between January and April?
“Camden may got many other
industries. I hope It does, but now
is your opportunity to see what
you can do about building up one
which you already have. One that
has a waiting list of eager cus
tomers. Let’s get behind Harry
Klrkover and help him every inch
of the way in his efforts to make,
Camden the Number One training’
spot for America’s finest on the'
flat and over the Jumps."

This car is entirely new In design
and construction, featuring Che use
of ornamental iroods In the body.
The result is distlnotlve. indlvidnal-
Istic styling and flowing, symmetri
cal contours.
Formerly confined to four-door
sedans of six and nine-passenger
capacity, the Town and Country
line now comprises a four-door six-
passenger sedan, a Inxdry broug’-
ham, a roadster, a convertible
coupe and custom club coupe.
President David A. Wallace of
the Chrysler division, who waa the
first to see the possibilities of
transforming a strictly “utility"
vehicle into an ultra-smart pas
senger car. took the succes of the
first Toim and Country model in
troduced in 1941 be an iadicatlon
that this type of vehicle urould
lend itself to g large variety of
body stylos. —
The complete line of Town and
Country cars now offered was cm-
ceived and contemplated for the
J94S Chrysler line, which it was
not possible to build due to ws.”
condition^ developing. However, the
artists’ designs and everything else
were well developed, together with
the plans for manufacture.
In the summer of 1944, when
the automobile Industry was given
authority by the govemmnet to do
some developmmt work on new
dUeigns, Chryaler’s pilot nfOVels of
the Town and Country line were
completed. The program later had
to be held up, but production plans
were developed immediately after
"V-J Day."
While this complete line carries
the name given to the nine pas
senger station wagon that Chrysler
previously built, neither the styling
nor any other 'part of it follows
the original desiim-
All of the cars in the Town and
Country have the common charac
teristic of bodies built of two kinds
of ornamental wood, left in their
natural colors. Body members are
of heavy white ash and the panels
are of mahogany teneer securely
attached to plymetal plates. The re
sult of this type of materials and
construction is a car that combines
distinctive beauty with great stmc-i
tural strength. Although the Toim
and Country line is a development
of the station wagon type of ve
hicle, H offers such advances in
styling and oomfortable accommo
dations for passengers that Jt has
lost qll resemblance to its progeni
tor except the use of wood in the
bodies. It has the beautiful flovring
lines of the (^rysler eteri-body
I types, while Interiors have been
given a luxurious freatment in n>
holstery and fittings.
