Well Folks!
After travelling over 5000 miles
through IL states and one Cana
dian Province, it is really a treat
to get back to Phoenix and "Red-
dy's Corner" We saw some won
derful things, places and people
but still think that like Phoenix
and her people best.
How have the girls, Annie Mae,
Virlee and Eddie Bell been treat
ing you? From the volume of bus
mess they have done while was
away, Pm sure you have no cause
for complaint-I feel that / hav-
en't. They have apparently done a
wonderful job, and wish to pub
icly thank them here and now.
Reddy's Boosters have 9 double

East Lake Park. They were rained
out last Sunday at Florence, Ari-
.ZOna.
Well folks! So long for now, I'll
be seeing you on the job before

Girl Scouts Adults
Urged to Rededicate
Themselves Sunday

Pleasantville, N. Y.-Girl Scout
adults attending Camp Edith Ma
cy, Girl Scout National Training
School, were urged to rededicate
themselves to the unfinished busi-
ness of democracy by Julius A.
Thomas, Director of the Depart
ment of Industrial Relations of the
National Urban League, on Sun
day.
"We. must not forget that our
freedom was won on a thousand
battlefields by the sweat and blood
of men who envisioned a better
day of life" Mr.. Thomas said,
speaking on the subject of "our
Civil Rights Yesterday and To-
day.
He traced the history of the
struggle of civil liberties and scivil
rights in this country since it's
founding, explaining the meaning
of the terms and of the struggles
and pointed out various diversities
suffered and achievements made
along this line.
'Let us not forget that there are
those among us who do not believe
in the American Greed as enunci-
ated by the founders of our democ-
racy," continued the speaker.
"They are not silent. They are not
asleep. Their pernicious influence
was felt in the halls of an indiffer-
ent Congress which declined to en-
act legislation outlawing the poll
tax, lynching, discrimination in
employment and segregation in the
Armed Forces"
He called the report of the Pres
ident's Committee on Civil Rights
blueprint for a fortnight pro-
gram of social and political ac-
tion," and the recent opinion of the
Supreme Court prohibiting the
courts to enforce restrictive cove
nants as another indication of "our
determination to put our house in
order"

Communist Killed George Polk

SALONIKA, Greece, (PO - The Greek government says top com munist killed George Polk, corre- spondent for the Columbia Broad casting system, last May.
 Topping off five-month inves- tigation of the staying, the govern ment yesterday named three oth- CTS charged with complicity in the murder. Two of them are under arrest.
 One of the persons under arrest was quoted as believing the mur- der was planned by the Comin- form (communist international in- formation burean) to discredit the Greek government abroad.
 The government said the actual shooting of Polk was done by Adam Mouzenides, member of the central committee of the Greek communist party. He was alleged to have shot the correspondent in the back of the head as Polk lay blindfolded and trussed in a boat in Salonika last May 8.
 The other three charged with complicity in the murder were Evangelos Vasvanas, still at large;
 
 Gregory Staktopoulos, communist newspaperman, and his mother, Anna, both under arrest for the past two months.
 Polk was formerly a student at the University of Alaska.

"It's Fun To Gather Rattlers'' Says Educator

DENVER, Sam Hill, who by profession is principal of West high school, hunts rattlesnakes for recreation. He says he finds it re- laxing.
 Hill took three of his snakes with him to a luncheon meeting of the Denver Lions club in the Albany hotel, as living illuStra- tions for a lecture on his hobby. His fellow Lions did not appear to find them so relaxing.
 RattleSnakeS, and hence rattle snake hunters, have practical inn portance Hill said. During the war he and his hunting compan- ions George Haywood and pr. Everett G. Peterson of Denver, shipped hundreds of live Colorado and Wyoming rattlers to the Phil adelphia zoo.
 There their venom was extract ed for use by the Sharp & Dohme pharfaceutical company of Phila- delphia in making a antivenin, a snakebite remedy, and, Hill sus- poets in two other Semi-secret drugs, one of them used for the reduction of shock.
 Hill began hunting rattlers when he was a young Schoolteacher in l Wyoming in 1912. He estimates he has captured between 10000 and 10000 of the snakes without suf- fering a single bite.
 To capture them alive he uses a snare consisting of a straight metal rod three feet long, with a wire moose at one end. The moose is slipped owe rthe head of the snake, which can then be handled with perfect safety if it is held directly behind the jaw, Hill said.
 Hill regularly visits twenty-two snake dens in Colorado and Wyo- ming.
 "The biggest one used to be in Fertilization rocks, near Craig, Colo" Hill said. Between 5000 and 5000 snakes used to spend the winter there and it was not un- usual for us to collect 600 snakes in a single days hunting in the spring or fall.
 "Once I saw cave the size of two living rooms, with its floor covered with a solid mass of snakes. It looked as if it were carpeted with an orietnal rug"
 Haywood demonstrated Hills statement that rattler venom is not poisonous to drink by milking" the fangs of one of the snakes Hill had with him, dipping his finger in the venom, which resembled lemon juice, and then sucking the finger. The Lions shuddered.
