HORSES USE SNOWSHOES
VANCOUVER, B.C., UR — Some
horses have been taught to use
snowshoes on northern British
Columbia winter trails and Mor
ley Shier has produced snapshots
of horses so equipped to convince
doubters.
Shier said at one time round
boards were used. Now horse
snowshoes are a circle of 34-inch
pipe, 12 inches in diameter, with
chains to the center and clips for
the toe and side.
At first a horse is troubled, but
soon learns the trick of putting
one shoe over the other in walk
ing on snow. When a shoe gets
loose, the horse will stop, look
back and wait for an adjustment.
Good champagne is the result
of expert blending of several
wines produced in the French
province of Champagne.

20th Century-Fox’s
‘Thunderhead’ Coining
To Theater Sunday
A thrilling horse race and an
exciting fight between two wild
horses are two of the action
packed scenes which make “Thun
derhead—Son of Flicka,” the
Twentieth-Century Fox encore tri
umph, coming to the Theater, an
exciting western production.
The picture, which has Roddy
McDowall, Preston Foster and
Rita Johnson in the feature roles,
also is a scenic triumph being
filmed in the fabulous wonder
land of Bryce Canyon, Utah, the
famed Briday Veil Falls, Zion
National Park and Red Rock Can
yon. The fantastic formations in
the western mountain ranges
heighten the dramatic effect of
this eye-filling story of a boy and
his colt.
Written by Mary O’Hara, “Thun
derhead—Son of Flicka” was a
best-seller in book form and the
picturization of this action-packed
all-American story has proved
equally successful.
