FEATURE FICTION

VOU don't have to be a fight expert to
l. recall what happened in the ring that
wild night the Champ fought Billy (the Kid)
Bolo. Fans are still talking about how it put
Wickiup. Colorado, on the map. But the odds
are you've never heard how close that fight
came to not being fought.
You remember how Wickiup got the match
in the first place.
The deputation from the Wickiup Chamber
of Commerce, headed by millionaire cattle
man Sam Pugh, trooped into the promoters
New York office, plunked down seating plan
of the new Wickiup Natural Amphitheatre -
capacity seventy-fve thousand and asatchel
containing guarantee of $3.50, eco cash money
Then they flew back home with contract for
what turned out to be - figuring the TV,
radio, and movie take - the first million
dollar gate west of Chicago in the history of
boxing
The Champ trained at the Wickiup Coun-
try Club and Billy the Kid, a fast right
handler, at the big Pugh ranch. Days before
the fight every hotel, motel trailer camp and
tepee within three hundred miles was hanging
out the No Vacancy sign. Wickiup became
the Eldorado of every fight fan, sportswriter,
gambler and grifter between Key West and
Puget Sound who could scare up grubstake.
Ellery was in Wickiup to see the contest as
the guest of old Sam Pugh, who owed him
something for reason that's another story.
The fight was scheduled for 7 pm. Noun
tain Time, to make the 10 pm TV date for
the Eastern fans. Ellery first heard that
something was wrong exactly an hour and
half before ring time.
HE WAS hanging around the Comanche Bar
of the Redman Hotel, waiting for his host to
pick him up for the drive out to the Amphi-
theatre, when he was PACED by beIlboy.
"Mr. Queen? Mr.. Pugh wants you to come
up to suite one hundred and one. Urgent"
The cattleman, himself answered Ellery's
knock. His purple-sage complexion looked
moldy Come in, sonp'
In the suite Ellery found the State Boxing

Mrs. M. M, Washington:
Concerning your proposed
Western camping trip 1 wish
to advise that we have done
some camping in California
Yosemite, Lake Tahoe and
LaSSen Park-and found it
most delightful. However, in
travelling from West Virginia
to the West Coast we did not
find it advisable to camp along
the way, consequently. our adj
vice would be for you to con-
fine your camping to National
ing bags. which we consider a

Hampshire and Maine. The
only States we did not find
satisfactory were Connecticut

cumulated over a period of
years. We have down sleep
ing bags, which we consider a
must, especially in high alti-
tudes where it gets quite cold
at night. We do not have air
mattresses, but are sure that
you would be more comfortable

course, increase your load. We
have a small folding table.
camp stools, umbrella tent
with sewed-in ground cloth,

jug, plastic dishes, etc.
Celebrating further on the
inadvisability of camping over
night on transcontinental
trip, we found it impossible
to find any place at which to
camp at the end Of a days
drive. We always make it a
point to camp where there is
a safe water supply. We heart
lily agree with your decision
to stay in cabins in rainy
weather. We also know that
it is much cheaper to camp
than to travel first class"
and we have been able to see
more of the United States by
so doing.

Teacher Exchange
Program Lauded by
Nelson Rockefeller

The increased understanding
and goodwill among nations
which is growing from the inter-
national teacher exchange pro-
gram cannot actually be calcu-
lated, but it is impressive, Nelson
A. Rockefeller, Undersecretary of
Health. Education and Welfare.
He addressed the International
Night dinner of the biennial con-
vention of the National Council
of Negro Women. held in the
Labor Department auditorium.
II am proud to tell you of the
teacher exchange program of the
Office of Education" Mr.. Rookie
feller told the group. This year
nearly 800 teachers were given
an opportunity to teach in for
eign classroom. Americans went
abroad for a year, and foreign
teachers came from around the
world to get acquainted with our
school systems, our children, our
adults"
Benefits Cited.
He added that one teacher
wrote, after spending several
months in the United States:
"I shall return to Germany
with the feeling that my expert
ences are worth more than five
years of intensive book studying
and am besides convinced that
have a mission to do in Ger
many for America and for hui
man understanding"
Mr.. Rockefeller also paid par
ticular tribute to Howard Uni
versity's international contribu-
tions-sending its faculty mem
bers abroad to study, to work
for international organizations
and to ioin foreign faculties.
"The contribution Howard has
made over the years to strength
en- the medical and dental pro-
fessions in the Caribbean reg
ion, and. to build up the educa-
tional systems of Panama and
Cuba-these important steps to
help our good neighbors de-
serve more notice than they
have received" Mr.. Rockefeller
declared.
Points to Health Roll.
Pointing out that the United
States has invested $42 million
In international health work.
the speaker told how that his
department. through the Pub

portant role in the effective use
] of these funds. "but great as
they are, they are small indeed
when compared with the magni-
tude of the health problems that
face most of the peoples of the
world"
He spoke of such diseases as
malaria, yaws and those arising
from bad water supplies, and
how the money is being used to
counteract these diseases in such
places as India. Liberia and Iran.
Mr.. Rockefeller elso spoke of
the cooperation of Latin Ameri-
can nations in solving the worlds
