mentary film of Sir John Hunts his partys climb the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-02-15

Aim chat it deals with q group
of adventures who are in a great
hurry but who cannot afford to
hurry. Every step must be per-
feet. lest the next one be the
fatal last. So the expedition
proceeds. from London to the
Himalyan foothills where it picks
up its bearers and guides. most
especially the veteran Sherpa
climber, TenSing Norkay who,
with Sir Edmund Hillary, COM
poses the finally victorious as
sault team.
The climatic. incredibly tense
dramatic area of the film is that
which covers the last 10000 feet
of the climb to the 29,002- foot
peak. Here in the wild, tornado
like winds. in the agonizing cold,
the party tackles the icy wall of
Everest. Even with oxygen. which
they must hoard. and the best
of tools for cutting steps in the
ice. a foot of upward progress
is shatteringly slow.
Here. hidden behind their
cameras, Photographers Strobart
and Lowe are unseen heroes, the
equals of the intellectually brave
and suffering fellows among the
climbers. The latter, at least,
have only to look ahead for the
next foothold. The cameramen,
on the other hand. must gaze
upon the whole horrifying vista,
from the peak to the floor of the
gorges below.
Impossible it is that the cam
era ever recorded anything more
fascinating than the last savage
rounds of this battle between
men and the mightiest of noun
tains. Even with the testimony
that they did it. the spectator
cannot believe they will. when
watching the film.
Whether he regards it as a
record of appalling folly. or hero
ism, the spectator has never seen
filmed adventure to compare
with the climatic passages of
The Conquest of Everest"
Only the camera can describe
it and, in the process. make it
clear that the reason for climb
ing an impregnable mountain is.
as one climber said: Because
it's there"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-02-15

Of the earth's highest and most
invincible mountain. In this
amazing factual film, the human
species which has not been doing
itself a great deal of credit
lately, suddenly reverses its
course. Here it takes on again
the grandeur of spirit which,
humanity is always happy to
contemplate, makes it natures
supreme achievement.
Regardless of ones estimate of
the value of climbing unclimb-
able mountains. it is an incom-
parably awesome experience to
see on film.
It has been photographed here
by cameraman Thomas Sto-
bart and George Lowe-with a
keen eye to the inconceivable
terrorS of Everest and the super
human courage of Sir John and
his party. Moreover, the film
record has been supplemented by
dramatically subdued narrative
by Louis Macniece and musical
score by Arthur Benjamin.
The canny assumption of both
of these is that a filmed fact
can speak for itself better than
any writer or composer can
speak of it. This is spectacularly
the case in The Conquest of
Everest" the rooftree of the
world and the group that scaled
1t.
The best of the science-f1ction
films fails short of the excite
ment of this science-fact exhibit.
Even the known triumphant
ending of THE Conquest of
Everest" is but the faintest
shadow on its quality of s'ls-
pense. 1t is not often that the
story of how man succeeds is as
fascinating as the fact that he
did succeed, but Everest is an
exceptional mountain and these
were exceptional men.
The films line is strictly
chronological. from the inception
of the idea of the expedition to
the descent of the assault team
from the peak. The spectator is
led over every step of the long,
high journey from the testing
of equipment, clothing and light
but nourishing foods, through
conditioning of the climbers en-
route to the great day. The eff
feet of this is to prepare the
moviegoer in much the same way
as the redoubtable climbers were
prepared for the perilous EST.
That these preparatory steps
should never become unexcit-
ing, they are always related to
their ultimate purpose. through
insets of the faraway monarch
of the Hinalayas. looking as
remote and unreachable as a
crater on, the moon.
It is vastly useful to the
steadily climbing tension OF this

it seems to be parakeets.
A few years ago everybody
and his brother seemed to go
in for hamsters. Deodorized
skunks sell quite we'll these
days. A woman who offers
them as household pets told
us the supply is limited and
the demand is big.

Why the popularity of

like to own pets. Skunks that
don't have an odor are nice
little creatures to have around,
that's ALL"
Household pet owners also
know the agonies suffered
when an animal is sick. or
when one dies.

us that when her dog was sick

From Attic to Cellar
Whot.s Home Without Chipmunk. Doc or Cot?
/ By Betty TrexIer

A home just isn't a home
without a pet around the
place.
At least that's what all pet
owners very firmly avow. AS
one woman put it: We've had
pets of all varieties since I was
a child. and the house would
seem desolate without them. I"
Dog owners for one reason
or another are probably the
most unequivocal on this score.
They explain that dogs offer
love. devotion and protection.
And. dogs don't argue.
Above all, dog owners will
tell you, one or two barks from
Fiji, Queenie, Missy or Rover
and most burglars will hurry
away lot faster than they ar
rived.
Dogs also warn uS-at least
mine does-that the telephone
is ringing, that there's been a
knock at the door, that my
husband is coming up the front
walk, or that the guests have
arrived.
Walk into any veterinarians
Office and you'll see how much
of a hold" pets have upon
humans.
One afternoon, when we
took our dog to the veterinari-
an. we saw and elderly man sit
ting there. looking worried.
AS it turned out he was wor-
rying about one of his IL cats.
He told me he was a retired
naval officer who lives in
Georgetown, and that stray
cats certainly have an affinity
for him. He guessed they "just
knew friend when they saw
one" At any rate, all his IL
cats were strays he kindly
took in.
A sad-looking man emerged
from the doctors Office that
same afternoon. "Well, I've
just lost my last and only
friend" he announced to the
people in the waiting room.
MY little dog has just died"
Many of those waiting with
their own dogs on leash Of
fered sympathy.
Some one in the group tolC
him to go out and get another
dog right away. He'd be SO
taken up with the training of
the new puppy he'd soon for
get his grief over his old and
faithful friend.
"It's the only cure" said an
elderly woman.
We all know that cat lovers
abound. They'll tell you their
favorite pets are clean, know
how to take care of them
selves, and are most enter
tanning.
"They don't really give you
the affection a dog gives" one
man told us, ''but they're easy
to take care of. And besides
well, I just like cats"
At our favorite 5-and-10-
cent store one of the big draw
ing cards is the display of
beautifully colored parakeets.
The store manager told us he
sells dozens in a week and just
can't keep enough parakeets
in stock.

Some could do fancy tricks.
Others couldn't be bothered.
Some were neurotic, had COM
plexes and unreasoning fears.
Others were placid. But all of
them provided companionship.
All of them were definite in

So I guess that well have
to say it, too. No home is a

Ford Group See Co-ops as
Integral Part of An
Industrial India

NEW DELHI-(CNS)-A team Of
Ford Foundation experts can't imag
inc an industrial India without CO.
ops, they say in a recent report.
It's not a question of what co-ops
can do, the experts say. Co-ops do
almost everything. The question is
what can co-ops do best.
Co-ops do a good job, they feel, of
lending money, marketing farm crops
and cottage industry products, get
ting supplies for farmers and small
businesses, and supplying city con-
sumers with necessities.
But the Ford Foundation special
lists caution against organizing peo-
pie in a production coop. A coop
can help get raw materials and sup
plies for producers and market their
products. But to associate them in
an act of production is mistake, the
Ford experts believe.
The report to Prime Minister ia
waharl Nehru suggests that the gov
eminent should (1) gradually with
draw from coop organizing, ~ con-
centrate on coop education through
seminars and short-course training,
and 81 establish a coop research
and service department within the

THOUSANDS JAM
STREETS LOOKING
FOR Today JOBS

SAN FRANCISCO QLNS)-Re-
peated assurances by the Administra-
ton that the unemployment situation
4 is improving were contradicted when
i jobseekers damned downtown streets
seeking temporary work at the post
office during the re-Christmas mail
ing rush.
Long before dawn applicants began
gathering and by a. m. there were
more than 1000 jobless crowded
around the building. Before z a. m.
Postmaster John F. Fixa was called
in and squads of police were sent
to the scene together with additional
post office guards.
"We've never had anything like
this said Fixa. "There are 5000
people in that crowd and we have only
about 1000 part-time jobs" Lines
formed five or six abreast almost
around two city blocks. Many in the
throng, which included all ages, were
young, the age group having the
toughest time finding work, accord
ing to the state department of en-
ployment officials. Unemployment in
the San Francisco Bay area is SO per
cent higher than year ago, the de-
partment estimated.
Small newspaper items had told of
the jobs being open; they'd last not
more than 10 days and the days
would not necessarily be full eight
hours each. Applications were to be
handed out at 8 a. m. At that hour
the doors were opened and two postal
employees, pinned to the wall, gave
cards to the first 1000 |
persons within reach; then another
1 900 marked with a red ar" for
reserve were passed out.
The rest of the jobless were turned
away without hope, but throughout
the morning more arrived, while a
guard repeated over and over: ''The
jobs are all gone, the jobs are all
gone"
