Lost horse sale marks latest turn in Heitz stables saga
John O. Heitz’s Chivago Sportsman era left a sharp trail as Willie developed top runners like Risque and Spinaway nues at Saratoga, with stakes winners Patrhypuir and Villenciennes.

Courage of Convictions and the modern bride
Ruth Millett argues the 1941 bride must be neither timid nor solely security minded. She should marry for love, accept possible wartime separation, and show courage to pursue her own convictions while maintaining independence. The column contrasts this with male and societal expectations amid defense mobilization. It also notes Lee Grissom’s victory and Finland’s female workers and leaders as examples of changing roles.
