Spokesman Atan Knudtson says' the organization is dedicated to development of horse activities all over the county, with emphasis on youth. However, in recent weeks, the association has devoted its efforts to (1) "the job of elimi nating unfair and unreasonable limitations on horsemen and horse activities" at tlus fairgrounds and (2) the development of exisiting fa cilities for use by horsemen the year around. Knudtson said people at the meeting indicated they felt t h e "restrictive rules at the fair grounds as Instituted by the Fair Board have, in effect, limited much of the facilities. . .to the fair time Itself rather than for continuous Use." legend as king of Hollywood lead ing men. "I thought he was getting along so well," said Dr. George C. Griffith, "that I talked to him Wednesday morning about how he should care for himself during the coming months and told him there was no need for me to sec mm again, unless needed." Dr. Griffith was called in as a consultant by Gable's heart specialist. Dr. Fred V. Cerini. The two physicians said Gable's death Wednesday night resulted from a second blood clot in an artery supplying the back of the heart. The doctors said that heart tissue damaged in the first attack was nealing well, and that Gable, who was 59. had reacted favora. bly to drugs which reduce the coagulation factor in the blood stream, thus lessening the likeli- noou 01 clots. Dr. Qriffith said that heart massage sometimes used to save stricken patients would probably have ruptured Gable's heart. A machine to stimulate the heart electrically might have helped. But none was available in Gable's room, they said. Ccrlnl said he had entered the actor's room only seconds before Gable died. "He just flipped his head to one side on the Dillow and was cone " Cerini said, "He didn't say any- wing. Mrs, Gable was In an adjoining room and reached the bedside seconds later.

"W Givt SIH Gwn SUmpi" BIS Despite Himself, Gable During 30-Year Rule Of By BOB THOMAS AP Movio-TV Writer - (First of two articles on the legend and the loves of Clark Gable) HOLLYWOOD (AP) "I've never worked hard at being a myth." Clark Gable once said. Yet he was one for the three decades he ruled the film world. As often happens with men who live their lives in the brilliance of fame, the real Gable was lost in the glare. The myth took over. It was a popular myth, and it blended nicely into the kind of role he played on the screen. But it wasn't Gable. Man of Action He became the epitome of the American male. People thought of him as the hard-muscled, wise-cracking, masterful man of action. He was indeed a man s man. He felt uncomfortable in a draw ing room and longed to be cast ing a fly on a mountain stream or drawing a bead on a flying duck. . But he was no superman. De spite his great fame and wealth, he had his share of fears and phantoms, drawn from a life that had more than the normal por tion of tragedy. Rootless Years His mother died when he was 4. Her place was taken by a stepmother who died when he was in his teens. His early years were rootless as his father moved from town to town. Gable was to know three broken marriages and one widowerhood. Though he was a top star to the end. he could never recapture in the last 15 years of nis career tne magic he had known in the first 10. As a final, tragic twist, the child he had wanted most of his life was to be born after his death. Great Triumphs Of course, it would be silly to sav that he led a tragic life. His triumphs were greater than most people's, but triumphs are not always as helpful in illuminating the man.

Some samples: On his wealth: "I'm not rich by any means. But I'm comfort able. That's all 1 ask ot lite to be warm, well-fed and comfort able." , Many Favorltos His favorite films: "If you really want to go back, you can pick ones like 'It Happened One of. It's my job. Not that I am the best, but I try." These are mere fragments, and Gable seldom revealed more, in public or private. More can be deduced from his personal story, especially in the women he mar ried. That will be the subject of the next article. about being an actor, and I work at it.
