say. ~
"The old order passeth" in
Hardin in 1948 as well as in
the days of King Arthur. We
cannot say we are Tegretful at
the disappearance of the old
tin front on the building now
occupied by the Stockman bar.
At the corner of Hardin'S bust
est intersection and incidental
ly the corner which all tourists
must consider the center of
toWn-it gave us an appear
ance Of being some 20 years
behind the times.
As a matter of fact, the first
time We ever saw Hardin, back
in 1888, I'VE noted and COM
mented most unfavoraby on the
building in a town which even
then had many buildings that
looked comparatively up to
date. & :
It was, no doubt, pretty eff
fective in keeping out the
weather, or it would never have
survived some 80 years, because
it certainly wasn't retained for
its beauty, and we believe Jack
Kogolshak is to be heartily con-
graduated on undermining his
building. It is going to be a
good looking spot now, not an
eyeSore.
We're going to stick our necks
out-but good! We've got a grippe,
but one which we have never
seen voiced in a newspaper be-
fore, and it concerns the Free
dom train. We went to Billings
Tuesday, takiT; time off we
could iii afford, in order that
we and some interested young
ters-among them our own
young fry - might view the
priceless documents which are
symbols of our nations heri-
tage. We didn't see them. We
just didn't have the intestinal
fortitude to stand for five hours
in a burning sun-and we didn't
figure our own offspring were
old enough to make it worth
while to them either.
We heard a good many means
and groans about being rushed
through the train too rapidly in
Billings, too.
The Freedom train is a won
derful idea, and it is a real in
dication of the love that. our
people bear their country when
they will stand in line for so
long to see the exhibits it holds.
But there were many who
wished to see these things who
could not face the long wait.
There were many, many others
who were not permitted to
spend the time with their ma
tons history which they would
like to have had. It seems to
us that so wonderful an idea
would have been much better
had the train gone through the
nation in a leisurely sort of
way, stopping long enough in
each place to give everyone an
opportunity to see and study
and to understand better the
significance of what was there
to see.
We realize that every precau-
ton must be taken to safe
guard the documents and other
tokens which the train con-
tains, and that every minute
they are away from their per-
manent repositories in Wash
ington they are in jeopardy, to
a certain extent, at least, but
we do wish more people had
had an opportunity to see it
and spend more time in it.

CoIan Will Upset Fox
In Bout Here Monday,
Manager Predicts

Sammy Goldman, former man
ager Of World Champions Tony
Canzoneri and Pete Herman, pre-
diets that Johnny Colan will upset
Billy Fox, Philadelphia light-heavy-
weight, in their scheduled 10-round
boxing bout at Grifith Stadium
Monday night. -
Meanwhile, Southpaw Herbie
(Bin Jones is cocky about his sup
porting 10-round bout with Sonny
Boy West. West kayoed Al Pennino
In the first round at Baltimore Mon
day and insists he will stop Jones
just as effectively. On the other
hand Jones insists he'll stop West.
Goldman, now manager of Colan,
refuses to be impressed by Fox's
record of 81 knockouts in 81 pro
bouts, and in the No. 8 ranking
voted the youthful Philadelphia by
the National Boxing Association.
"Colan can beat the Billy Fox
who has been knocked out twice by
Gus Lesnevich, and also the Fox
who was whipped soundly by Willie

than two months ago." Goldman
says.
I'll concede that Billy has a
punch, but 50 has Johnny and
Colan will box his ears off,"

decisions over Jimmy Carollo,
knockouts of Jackie Lyons and Tom
McKeagney and draw with Leroy
Snead. He has lost only to Tommy

Friday the 13th-dawned overcast
ana foggy. We found heavy sea
running off the Cuckolds, but the
wind had abated and by $50, %
boats had reported out and were on
their way to the fishing grounds, at
present south and west of Seguin
Island in section locally called The
Outlet. a well-known tuna ground.
After the last boat had checked
out, we, too, headed for The Outlet
and spent most of the day cruising
around the tuna fleet. There are 26
boats registered in the tournament
and all were out in spite of high
seas and poor visibility because of
fog. However, the fishing was very
poor and we know of no tuna being
taken up to pm.
Because of the lost day Thursday,
the tournament will run through
Sunday. This was written late last
Friday. We hope there will be more
excitement than has yet turned up.
We had as our guests Friday
Gen. Miller Of Washington, D. c.,
and his nephew, Bill Hall, just back
from . three-year hitch in the
Army. While the fellows angled for
tuna, we tried our luck with bottom
fishing, and landed four hake and
one dogfsh. Seas were running so
high we couldn't get our bats down
on the bottom and keep them there.
We're due out at the Cuckolds
again tomorrow and will hope for
the best. So. far, we've not been
seasick. which is personal triumph.
Maybe we've outgrown our penchant
for NAL de mer.
There are quite a few notables
here for the tournament. Among
them Is Ray Camp from New York,
nationally known sports writer. and
Walter McDonough of Brielle, N. j.,
q former member of the United
States team in the international
tuna matches. Richard Reed, head
Of Names Conservation Depart
ment, and Wayne Buxton, who we're
at the Sportsman's Show In Wash
ington this year, are here from
Augusta.
The little town Of Boothbay is
crowded with participants in the
tournament and their wives and
families. The townspeople are ex-
tremely hospitable and are CO.
operating to the utmost. Stores run
out Of food, every available Sleep
ing accommodation is taken: one
can hardly move for the automobiles
on the streets.

 Simeon Oliver was called upon again to perform on ;he piano, which he most graciously did. He played three original transcript tions of his own or Aleut melodies. The first number was "Aleut Lul- laby," an old Aleut melody with which he had incorporated the bells of the old Russian church of ! Unalaska. Second was "Aleut Rus sian Lullaby" which used a theme brought to the islands from Russia and used in their music which, he explained, has also been used by Irving Berlin in his Russian Lul- laby."
 The third number of the group was "Aleut Polka" showing the influence of the Russian church in 1 the native music and use of the diatonic scale and major key whereas the minor mode usually predominates in primitive music. He explained that in his arche- ological study he has traced the similarity of the music and dance all the way down the coast to Mex ico where it is found in the noun tain music of the Mexicans.
