OWLS EYE RELAYS;
 NIP TRINITY FROSH
By RALPH DAVIS

Coach Lacy Amann's trackmen practically shut out the Trinity College Freshmen as they grabbed their first taste of performing in spikes before competing in the an- nual Connecticut Relays at Storrs Saturday.. @ .-~
 Winning all first place honors, including the high jump, plus many seconds and thirds, the Amann- men seemed ready and roaring to mop uD any competition encount- cred at the annual relays spon- sored by the University of Con- necticut. --...
 Deserving special mention are Bob Clarke, Jim Harris, Earl Ball and, stranoelv enough, yours truly. Clarke, with the aid of a we'll timed kick, near the end of the 22O-yard dash, finished second to Lindy Reningino, state and New England sprint ace. Harris sawed off hunk of speedy material, flashed in second behind Lindy in the century. Ball strode through mediocre ha1f-mile for third place. Earle's first quarter was slow, but
 
 enough for that place. Aided by strong breeze and a -four foot sage," in the cross bar, yours truly western-rolled over five feet five inches for 8 first in the high jump.
 The writer will have detailed re- ports of the Fourth Annual Hart ford High Invitation held at the State Armory in next weeks col umn.
 Club Night A Scream
 Hartford Highs annual Club Night event went over with a bang as members of five schools gave out with their original, hilarious skits Friday night. -........
 Twenty clubs appeared in pre- liminarv trv-out earlier with the World Problems, German, Latin, Girls League and Freshman Girls Cluhs reaching the finals on Club Night.
 Doctors were busy patching split sides the next day. after members of the audience had rolled in the aisles in response to the various skits. "The Barber of Seville" who shaved customers very, very close lv; who flirted with his wife, was executed by the German Club. An other skit meriting special mention was the production of the World Problems Club. Allyn Martin did an excellent piece of work as stage manager, while I acted as the mys- terv voice of the United Nations Well, Hilda thought I did a good job.)
 Here's wishing luck to Allyn Martin as he sweats it out wait ing for results of a staff college board exam taken recently H.P.H.S.

In Turkey, according to General
MacBride, speaking last Memorial
Day, we have spent one thousand
million dollars, though congress APP
propriated only one hundred million
dollars. The United States News
conservative said three months
ago the cost of living has gone up
500 per cent, due mostly to our in
flationary expenditures. The Lords
of Turkey enjoy, of course, our
lavish gifts. The people hate US.
These would join the Soviets in
event of war. There is only loss to
us from our "entangling alliance"
with the Turkish Fascists.
Into Greece we have poured a
half billion dollars. We have sup
ported little Hapsburg King,
against the Mountaineers who fought
Hitler to the death. These people,
calling themselves Communists, and
probably patriots, are as strong as
when we began fighting them. John
Gunther (author of Inside U.S.A.-

ago that if America withdrew from
Greece, the King would last about
10 days. Gunther was on the scene.

warm by humping their backs. The
famous drawing of the starving COW
in the snow, which the cowboy artist
Charles Russell called "The Last of

portrays what thousands of cattle
look like this winter. The picture

received from the eastern owner of
a Montana cow-outfit, asking for a
first hand report on his ranching
operations.
Livestock men don't want 1.-The
world, and it fenced, as the saying
goes. They want a chance to raise
stock, raise their kids in decency and
security. They have been taking a
drubbing with drop in livestock
prices this fall and now winter will
wipe many out completely. The
country will suffer as the stock losses
cut into the meat reserves. Just be-

NATIONAL REA GROUP
BACKING MURRAY
MvA PROPOSAL

The National Rural Electric Co.
operative Association called for i'm
mediate action on the proposed Mis-
souri, and Columbia Valley Author
tiles and the st. Lawrence Water
way in a resolution adopted at the
national convention in New York
February 3.
The resolution follows:
eve support early, unified devel-
opment of all of Americas river ba-
sins for the fullest possible produc-
ton of economic hydro-electric pow
er consistent with other purposes.
owe support the recommendations
of the president and his council of
economic advisors, submitted to the
congress in the Economic Report and
Review, for immediate action on the
ST. Lawrence, the Missouri and the
Columbia rivers, construction of the
IVA steam plant and other power
facilities.
eve are disturbed by reports that
the Missouri Basin plans include less
than half of feasible economic hydro
electric power, indicating that con-
struction is proceeding without even
a total survey of potentialities, or
without a basinwide plan for water
operation and management in future
years.
'While supporting the specific
projects calendered by the president
and his advisors, we also urge
prompt action on other basin devel-
opments which have been suggested
throughout the nation. A nation
wide power development program is
necessary at once to meet present
shortages and increasing demand. -

PROBE TRIAL In GREEK
SEAMEk CASE, SEN.
LANCER DEMANDS

Washington. = Investigation of a
trial in Greece which places the lives
of the II Greek maritime union lead
ers in double jeopardy was de-
manded in a senate resolution intro
duced Feb. 10 by Senator William
LANCER (R, ND
The men were originally tried last
year and sentenced to death on
charges arising out of union activity
and alleged aid to Greek guerrillas.
Following a United Nations protest,
the death sentences were committed.
Now the men are being brought to
trial again by the Greek government,
apparently in an effort to obtain
new death sentences.
LANCER said:
"The placing of mems lives in
double jeopardy is not only alien to
our American principles of justice,
but violation of Greek law, also.
1t seems to me that our administra-
ton should be most concerned over
the affront to all civilized concepts
of law in Greece, where we have
assumed so many responsibilities"
LANCER predicted that if the facts
in the case were as well publicized
as the trial of Cardinal Mindszenty
in Hungary "there would be ire
mendous public protest against the
of these Greek trade union
leaders. Mine, Mill, "The Union.

Contrary to the movies, ranchin,
never was one continuous round O.
moonlight, trail rides astride silver
trimmed palominos. The foldin
money ranchers are supposed to
have, if they have it, didn't come
easy. Ranching means hay pitching
in the summer heat and mosquitoes
Then in winter feeding the hay Out
to the stock day by day. The mer-
curry can drop to 80 below without
much effort.
Riding the range, looking after
stock, at sub-zero temperatures often
means frozen feet and faces. The
writer spent 80 years raising cattle
and sheep in western South Dakota
but never saw winter at its worst,
like it is now.
Old-timers used to sit around the
stove and scare the younger ones
with tales of how the winter of 1888
took it's toll of stock, but the winter
of 1948-49 will make '88 take second
money. How many millions of cat
tie and sheep will freeze and starye
before the grass gets good next sum-
mer is hard to estimate. Before the
dead are all counted hundreds of
ranchers will have lost their entire
foundation herds, the result of their
Iife's work-completely busted.
Sometimes warm chinook winds
thaw the snow from the prairies in
January or February and the wealth
er is like spring. During these open
spells, the stock Craze good and fill
up while the ranchers save hay for
rougher weather. Now there has
been no grazing for weeks and what
hay stock gets is like handing man
a few corn flakes after he has been
without food for days. Operations
"hay lift" is only. drop in the
bucket at the best.
Hay stacks, completely covered,
have to be literally mined out of the
snow, if and when the stockmen are
able to pillow through to the hay
meadows. Even though the trails
and highways have been bulf-dozed
open they blow full again in few
hours when the wind rises. Trucks
that carry supplies and mail to the
country are held up for days and
weeks. Now cub planes, mounted
on skis, fly the first-class mail to
rural post offices. Boys, it's really
rugged to be a cowhand riding a /
snow pillow.

Arrives from Norway
Our Mr.. Olsen arrived in the
United States in September of
1927, at the age of twenty from
far away Harstad, Norway,
which city is two hundred miles
north of the Arctic Circle. At
a young age Nils not only be-
came proficient in his school
ing, but he was also recognize
ed as an expert skier in his
mountainous homeland. His
father, Marcus Olsen, the Of
flee manager for the Northland
Textile Co. of Norway, believ-
ed in each one of his four sons
learning different trade, so
he sent Nils to an agricultural
school for 16 months, one bro
Their became an electrical en-
gineer, another a tailor, and
the fourth was given govern
ment position.
Nils knowledge of farming
stoom him we'll when he came
to this country, but when the
banks closed during the days
of 1882, he found himself with
only S1.82 in his pockets. A
friend of his, Henry Knudson,
painting contractor, suggest
ed that he would back him if he
would take an apprentice
painting job and go to school
at the Washburn Trade School
in Chicago, for two years. How
ever. being that he had to work
for living, it took him three
wears. Nils would work four
DAYS at the Schools practical
work department and then
take the schooling the balance
of the week.
Visits Norway In 1887
He finished in the spring OF
1884 and then began to work
for his benefactor and con-
tractor, Henry Knudson. In
July of 1887 he met with an
accident, falling from an l8-ft.
scaffolding, and fracturing his
skull. After he had recovered
sufficiently, he took a trip to
his homeland Norway, reach
ing his parents fireside just at
Christmas time. That Christmas
was a real feast for the four
brothers and four sisters at
home with their parents. He
stayed for a year.
When Nils returned, he be-
gan working for VIM. S. Alt
and Son, painting contractors
of Chicago. During the war,
due to his classification, he
worked for the same contract
or a Hines hospital and at
Downey of Great Lakes doing
essential war work.
