COOPERSTOWN, n. Y, May f9
The Cardiff Giant, one of history's
huge hoaxes, quietly ends a 79-yeal
odyssey today.
The bogus giant, an interna.
tional sensation when "diScovered'
in 1869, goes on permanent exhibi-
ton here in Farmers Museum OF
the State Historical Association.
Marveling thousands, including
some scientists, educators and cler-
gymen, first accepted the Goliath
as a "petrifed human"
The giant, measuring 10 feet AZ
inches tall and weighing 2,99l
pounds, was unearthed near Cardlf1
in Central New York by unsuspect-
ing well-diggers.
The stupendous stone statue hao
been planted" year earlier by q
Binghamton tobacco dealer, George
Hull. He said later he had intended
to ridicule religious extremists who
accepted literally Biblical refer
ences to ancient giants in the
earth"
The then State geologist said Il
was statue made probably be-
fore Indians inhabited the cont
nent. Many, including Presiden
Andrew D. White of Cornell Uni
versity, scoffed and said "humbug.

There are two complete tickets,
the Progressives, led by Woodruff
Randolph, incumbent president, and
the Independents, who are seeking
to elect John r. Evans of Washing

The Independents have cam
paigned on a platform of peace,
harmony and order" in the union
and have criticized the Randolph
policy on contracts which has re-
suited in Federal Court restrainer
against the union.
The approximately 10000 1TU

'0kIahoma!' Will End
Longest BroadwayRun
For Musical May y
ky the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, May 19.-"Okla-
homa!" which had the longest run
of any musical show in Broadway
history, will end its New York en-
gagement May %.
Closing Of the famous musical was
announced yesterday by the Theater
Guild, which produced it.
The play will have completed a.
202 performances when 1t terminates
its unprecedented run. 1t will begin
. Nationwide tour May 81 in Bos-
ton, with summer engagement
scheduled for Atlantic City.
Earned $500 Per Cent.
It celebrated its 5th birthday
March 81. In its half decade of
theatrical progress, it has earned
for its hackers an estimated $500
per cent on their investment. One
backer who invested $4,000 said he
has got back $250,000.
"Oklahoma!" changed the style of
Broadway musical productions. 1t
was the first to emphasize tighter
cohesion of words, music and the
dance. Before it's arrival the typical
Broadway musical comedy was
girly show with tap dancers, a
girl and boy for love interest and
plot which varied only to the point
where it disappeared altogether.
"Oklahoma!" also pioneered the
ballet as a colaborative unit of
musical shows. Instead of pure
dancing entertainment, it added its
own choreographic stories to height
en- and tighten the telling of plot.
In its delightful wake came such
similarly constructed productions as
"Carousel," "Bloomer Girl" "Briga-
doom" and ALLEGRO"
Rodgers Wrote Music.
Richard Rodgers wrote the music
for oklahoma" and Oscar HAM
merstein II provided the libretto and
lyrics. The musical is an adapta-
ton Of a play by Lynn Riggs, Green
Grow the Lilacs."
In It's five years 1t has broken
more records, set more precedents
and received more awards than any
musical in theatrical history. The
total attendance will be close to
100000 by closing night.

with sulphuric acid to provide the
aged-in-earth quality. Blue streaks
| in the substance later were "identi-
fed" as petrified veins.
The giant was exhibited in many
Eastern cities and later was pur-
chased by a resident of Fort Dodge,
Iowa. The historical society ac-
quired the giant from Gardner
Cowles, jr., of Des Moines, news
paper and magazine publisher.
Evening star., 1948-05-19

Thousands, however, paid fabu-
lous amount to see the recumbent
figure, slightly distorted as though
the ancient giant had died in pain.
Phineas T. Barnum, famed show
man, offered $150,0O0 for the giant.
When his bid was rejected he made
reproduction of the statue.
During the furore over the dis
covery, Mr.. Hull confessed the giant
was his brain child-fashioned,
ironically, of gypsum.
A Chicago sculptor chiseled it into
man" and Mr.. Hull treated it

lea secular education is made COM
pulsory, and no intelligent parent
would question the value of an
education for his child It is one
of the blessings of our democratic
ay of life.
But parents owe their children
more than reading. writing, and
arithmetic" Someone has said: An
uneducated thief will steal a piece
of coal; and educated thief will steal
a railroad In other words, to train
child's mind without regenerating
his heart IS as dangerous as putting
a loaded gun into his hands You
are Increasing his capacity for evil
The primary duty of parenthood,
particularly for Christian parents,
IS to bring the children God has
given them to living faith in Jesus
Christ, their Savior. God says to
parents: These words which I
command thee this day shall be in
thine heart; and thou shalt teach
them diligently unto thy children" "
Are YOU doing right by your
children? Are YOU teaching them
that the fear Of the Lord is the
beginning of Wisdom?" Are YOU
setting them a Christian example?
Are YOU speaking to them about
Christ their only Savior, and His
salvation? If not, our Church-its |
