When the jim Bond-Wally
Taber all-color Wildlife show
comes to Hardin Saturday
night, April 10, local sportsmen
and their families will have an
opportunity to see and hear a
program which has turned
away overflow crowds from
Seattle to Los Angeles,
In Montana for q series of
35 shows under sponsorship of
the Montana Wildlife fedora
ton, the duo of far-traveled
big game hunters, photograph
ers and lecturers will screen
their double-feature length
kodachrome for the public one
night only in Hardin at the
Junior high school gym at 8
pm. !
According to Jens Kalberg,
member of the Big Horn Coun-
ty Rod and Gun club, sponsor
ing the show locally, the pro-
gram is in dazzling color and
will be personally narrated by
the intrepid pair of camera
men who faced death a dozen
times to bring their films back
for the American public.
Bond, who appeared last year
in Hardin, returns with his
newest and best picture, one
recorded last summer when the
Well-knoWn explorer made his
fifth long pack trip into the
Arctic Circle country of the
Northern Yukon territory of
Canada.
Taber's colorful parade of
wildlife was documented in
far-off Africa where the form
er neWSpaperman was on as
signment from the Denver Post
of which he was for four years
outdoor sports editor. His blow
by-blow columns describing the
goingS-on with modern-day SAT-
artists were syndicated by the
North American Newspaper AL
lance and thrilled millions of
readers. Now, his superb Wild
life drama is thrilling addition
al thousands.
Newspapers in west coast
cities where the program pre-
ViouSly was billed were lavish
in their praise, clubbing the
performance must" entertain
ment.
Numerous times during the
filming of both pictures, the
camermen moved so close to
big and dangerous wildlifel that
-gasps from. the audiences per-
fodfcally punctuatef the pro-
gram. Also, there are many
laughs, as when Bond inter-
rupts his camp cookery to
equalize a rampaging grizzly
with his trusty 800 Weatherby
magnum rifle; when Taber
photographed the flies flirting
with the corners of the Nasal
mouths, or when he staged a
Congo fashion show for the
ladies Of the audience.
Giant grizzly, mighty moose,
and caribou all are focus points
for Bonds camera lsns. While,
at the opposite extreme of the
world, Taber pointed his movie
maker at elephant, rhino, hip
po, buffalo, lion, cheetah and
a screenful of other game both
big and small, dangerous and
docile.

secretary of Agriculture
Charles F. Brannanshas assured
Montana's Governor John w.
Bonner that he will do every
thing he can to continue help
ing the sugar beet industry and
that he will not weaken his
stand to see that the price of
sugar beets is brought up to
parity.
This was the report received
from the governor by Ishmael
YoSt of Billings, chairman of
the governors sugar beet COM
mittee in a telephone converse
ton with Governor Bonner
Tuesday.
The governor met with Bran
nan while he was in Washing
ton, ID. C., last week.
Yost explained that with a
beet Of normal sugar content,
a grower would receive 1889
a ton in the Billings area if
the beetS were at parity price.
Governor Bonner reiterated
that he and his state sugar
beet committee would continue
to use all efforts to see that
sugar prices continue to rise so
that sugar beet prices would be
at least parity, YoSt said.
Since the first meeting of
the Governors Sugar Beet
committee of the state of Mon
tana in late February, the
wholesale price of refined sugar
has increased so cents per hun
dred weight, meaning an in
crease of about 81 per ton for
sugar beets, it was pointed out
at a meeting of the committees
board of directors in Helena
last Friday.
L.. R. Cool of Hardin was
among directors of the commit
tee attending the meeting.
This increase is h~eartening,
directors said, because ordfnar-
lily the sugar market does not
start advancing until about the
first of May. The committee
is encouraged over prospects
for higher beet prices in view
of positive previous expressions
of the secretary Of agriculture
that the price of sugar was too
low in relationship to other
farm commodities. Also, his &C
ton to bring about more equit-
able prices through his con-
Sumptive estimate under the
Sugar Act.
The sugar price indicated by
the secretary as reasonable,
would mean something more
than SIG per ton for sugar
beets. The committees feels that
this figure is a reasonable pros
pect and assures the growers
of the state that it will do
everything in its power to bring
about a price of at least SIG
per ton for the 1852 crop.
Directors said the committee
realizes that the secretary is
under heavy pressure from
commercial users of sugar to
raise the consumptiye estimate
and thus reduce sugar prices.
The committee will, in OPPOSE

Jobs For Graduates

The graduate looking for a job in these
days doesn't have to look very far-unless
he is very fussy. And that goes for girls,
too. The job market is still happy hunting
ground for the young man or woman ready
to set out on career.
Getting job may be easy but the inn
portant thing is what is done with it. A per-
son can be hired on his recommendations but
he will get ahead only on what he produces.
Probably the most important thing fer
the graduate is to determine the type of
business he feels he will like best and for
which he believes himself most suited. Then

EaI|ham Romance
BY L. Baynard Whitney

Parents of an interracial couple that
graduated from the Quaker Earlham College
in Richmond, Indiana looked proudly on as
two races were united in holy matrimony
on the Cornell university campus recently.
Robert McAllester, %, had been ordered
off Earlham campus for daring to defy
tradition by announcing his engagement to
a fellow student, the lovely and brown Grace
cunningham of Berkely, Calf.
Following the bigoted ruling of Earl
ham President Thomas Jones, white students
there were candid in saying that if Robert
and Grace wanted to marry, it was their
business. President Jones had said he OBJ
jected to interracial marriages because
they present extra problems which may be

he should stay with that line unless he finds
that his choice of it was a mistake.
To the graduate in smaller commune
ties it might be said that before dashing off
to the cities for work, the opportunities in
their home towns should first be studied.
Branch office work or experience in home
towns often provide a broader training for
higher posts than the highly detailed work
in city offices.
In any event, think in terms of a career
rather than job. Pick your line carefully

LET'S Take Profit Out Of Jim Crow

The NAACP is now urging its members
not to spend their money on jim crow en-
ternment events. Within the span of a few
years, theaNAACP position on segregation
has been completely reversed. Only dec
ade ago, the militant association was advo-
eating separate but equal facilities. At
that time, it asked in its law suits that Ne
groes be given equal opportunities and that
schools and other public accommodations be
MADE Substantially equar 10 tnose given
other citizens
Now, decade later, it is fighting seq
regation per Sc. The separate but equal"
theory has been discarded along with other
relics of by-gone days. The mere fact that
It is separate makes any facility unequal is
the new viewpoint of the association.
The NAACP says that striking at the
Arkansas State press., 1952-07-11

almost insurmountable in the civilization Of
today"
Such views are created by narrow ra-
cial background and very limited expert
ence and outlook. There are hundreds of inter
racial couples in the United States and thou
sands of them throughout the world who are
living we'll integrated, happy and successful
lives. Generally speaking, America has
grown up, even the 20 some states that have
ancient laws against intermarriage.
Racial migration is increasing through
intermarriage, which is a much healthier
and more honest solution of the problem
than having $4,000 white Negroes sneak
over "the line every year.

separating the two classes Of the same
color?
Similarly, at bus stations and airports
there is no reason why interstate travellers
should not be served in ali of the facilities
provided for the white ones, else the gross
est discrimination is practiced.
Indeed, to 20 farther we believe that,
legally, white" hotels and restaurants
throughout the south, north, east and
west can be compelled to provide equal
facilities for would-be Negro patrons, just
as the Supreme Court has ruled that equal
educational facilities must be provided for
Negro pupils.
Such businesscr along with road
houses, fnotels and filling station convent
ences, are licensed by the municipalities
and or counties, and thus their operation
is recognized as a public convenience pre-
sumably for the accommodation of the
entire public, and they can be sued as such
on the ground Of discrimination, which all
state constitutions (as well as the federal
one) forbid
Just as courageous Negroes were found
to willingly be guinea pigs" for school
suits, they can be found to serve the same
purpose in suits against railroads, airlines,
bus lines and other public accommodations,
and there are over, 1000 NAACP branches
presumably capable of finding them.
The continuing policy of racial discrimi-
nation against colored people in this con-
nection Is due In some measure not only
to white proprietors but to potential COL
ored patrons because they have not made
any widespread attack on II although the
courts are more favorable now than even
