WRONG BEER
Tom Reynolds of Trail Creek has
found a new method to cure all
ills. And it almost worked. While
working on his tractor last Sunday
he had a surplus of gasoline, so he
poured it in an empty beer can.
Becoming thirsty, while he worked,
he absent mindedly reached for
the can and took healthy drink.
He turned so white they tell me,
that he walked around for three
days trying to get job haunting
houses.

While over at Moose lake, on
Sunday, Phil Stevens was startled
by loud noise. Upon looking up
he discovered three large silver
tip grizzlies that had just gone in
for a swim. They swan to a large
beaver house, stood on it, and pro-
ceeded to tear it apart, muttering
groans and growls all the while.
Phil says it sounded as if all bed

the floods in the Columbia basin in the

Some of us longer residents in Mon

by the railways traversing the state

in time when this Western country

GAS they have been doing all over
the country, we generous-minded and
soft-headed Westerners have taxed our
selves heavily to build modern system
of highways and then have invited the
Johnnies-come-lately, the truckers, to
almost crowd the users of lighter motor
traffic off these highways, to pound
them to pieces with heavier and heavier
trucks and trailers; more than that, to
create an ever greater hazard for the
lighter motoring public.

equity, had realized that the truckers
were being given an unfair advantage

son made the following comment:
THE vicious frameup of the
Trenton Six has reused the con-
Germ and indignation of people
here and abroad not only because
six innocent men have been sem
fenced to die, but, also, because
this case reveals for all to see
how Jimcrow and segregation
have become a policy of govern
ment. Here we have northern
state its policy, its prosecutor,
and a judge doing the job the
lynch mobs do with official sane
ton in the south. And tell them
that the record in this case is a
monument to Jersey Justice! The
irony of that cynical boast needs
no comment
In the course of the hearina
the Chief Justice, Mr.. Vanderbilt,
objected to Mr. Rogse's charac-
terizing the frafieep' as Northern
Scottsboro case because as the
judge put it, in the Scottsboro case
the defendants got no help from
the Supreme Court of Alabama
We hope this presages reversal
in this case by the Supreme Court
of New Jersey. It would be wrong,
however, to sit back and wait to
see what hapens. The conviction
may brazenly be upheld, The in
nocent men may be remanded to
face the ordeal of new trial. No
matter what the Jersey Supreme
Courts decides, the fight to bring
the issues in this case before the
court of public opinion must 60
on. We intend to carry no until
these six innocent men are re-
turned to the arms OF their fami-
lies and those who perpertrated
this frameup are removed from
office and punished
