Goat kassOed From Plane

A mountain goat that was lassoed from an airplane by two Fish and Wildlife Service men was flown to Kodiak re- gently and released in the Ugak Bay area where a herd is being started.
 The two FWS men saw the goat swimming in Cooper Lake on the Kenai Peninsula while they were flying over. They landed, taxied after him and one of them succeeded in get ting a rope on the goat. They lowed the animal to shore and later brought it to Kodiak.
 Russell Hoffman, FWS agent, took the goat to Ugak and released 1t. This makes six goats that have been placed in the area.
 Earlier, 72 pine squirrels were released in the Chiniak area and on Afognak Island. Hoffman saidthat marten may be "transplanted" from other areas in the territory to Kodiak Island.

love which were shown.

THE SECOND
MILLION

The ink is hardly dry on the
widely published announcement
that "Victim X'' is dead. Hardly
dry, either, are the tears of his
or her saddened family, for "Vic-
tim x" was the unknown man,
woman or child who recently be-
came shocking national symbol
of hideous recklessness on our
country's streets and highways.
Bad enough is the realization
that in the 176 years of our ma
TONS life a million sons had to
die gallantly in battle to preserve
the freedoms and privileges we so
rightly cherish. Far worse and
strictly dishonorable is the, ap-
palling announcement that in only
a third of that time we have per-
mitted another million citizens to
be battered and crushed to death
in traffic accidents, needlessly
and many times criminally. But
frightful to the point of Keeling
unbelief is the cold knowledge
that at the present rate we are
speeding to a second million such
victims within a mere Is years.
1t must not happen!
It will not happen if every cit
izen, as a matter of sheer neces-
sity for self-preservation, does
his or her part promptly, consist
emily and courageously. Let us
demand that our lawmakers give
us laws with teeth that will stop
the speeding, drunken, reckless
drivers. Let us demand that our
police departments enforce the
law sternly and impartiaIy-and
give them enough men to do the
Job. Let US tell our judges that we
will no longer tolerate "slap-on
the-wrist" sentences when prison
or at least permanent revocation
of all motoring privileges, includ-
ing ownership of car, should be
the penalty. Finally, let US look
squarely at our own selves and
grimly say:
eyes, you tool"
Sure, this is tough language!
But it is mild compared to get
ting splattered to death or MAIN
ed for life by some fool at the
wheel. Of this you may be sure
unless we write tough, talk tough
and stay tough, an awful lot of
us are due for mighty brief and
not all sweet life. We will either
stop horror on the highway now
or it will stop us any minute.

it's the 27-year-old Grand Ole
Opry" that comes every Satur-
day night out of the mid
South's Nashville, Tenn. oft
styled the capital of country
music.
When it does become a TV
feature it will need little dressing
up. It already is picturesquely
presented for the wholesale size
studio audiences it attracts.
Some of the 127 regular mem
berS of the cast have appeared
in television on visits to New
York but their program never
has been directly televised, even
locally.
Before the day of TV arrives
several handicaps must be over
come, say officials of WSM,
creator of the program and
operator of the local television
station, WSM-TV. They contend
that the atmosphere of the
Ryman- Auditorium, it's main
studio, is just as much a part
Of the show as the performers
and that the two must not be
separated. It is not yet possible
to relay TV programs out of
Nashville, although that city
does have an incoming privately
operated network link.

Then there's the cost of in
stalling TV equipment in the
auditorium, which would have
to be considerably altered. In

simplest changes were made for

the early and late sessions COM
ing from other points.
So popular is the program
that the 3.500-seat auditorium
is filled twice each Saturday.
The first audience is dismissed
around 10 o'clock to make way
for the second. which piles up
outside in four-abreast queues
stretching several blocks. Ad-
mission of 30 and so cents is
charged to defray studio ex-
penSeS.
Folks come from miles. Near
by parking lots have license
plates from States as far apart
as Nevada and Connecticut.
Whole families attend, even
babes in arms. Popcorn, ice
cream and soda pop are hawked,
also the early editions of the
Sunday morning newspapers.
Not all members OF the "Opry"
staff appear every week and not
all in every section of the
broadcast. Most of them get
additional income from personal
appearances and records.
College Girl
Minnie Pearl, who in private
life is Mrs. Henry Cannon, is
the principal comedienne. She
describes herself as a college
girl turned hillbilly. When she
attended a Nashville girls fin
ishing school she had every
intention of becoming an ac-
tress and began teaching drama.
Somewhere along the line she
got switched into comedy. She
spent her youth on a Tennessee
farm outside the hillbilly area
and has been with the "Opry"
more than a decade.
June Carter Is another comedi-
enne. The bride of Carl Smith,
an "Opry" singer. she also sings
as a member of the Carter Trio,
made up of her mother and
sister. Roy Acuff. a staff vet
eran, once ran for Governor Of
Tennessee.
At present, the older net

The "opry" talent has found
the business of dispensing
country music highly lucrative.
Many now have large farms,
fancy houses in town. expensive
automobiles and other evidences
of growing afhuence.
