THE FIRST COUNTIES

On March 3, 1S49, Minnesota be-
came a territory. The news that
congress had taken that action
required five weeks to reach the
people most concerned with it.
One of the first acts of the ter
ritorial legislature was to create
counties. Nine of them were es-
tablished at that time in the ter
ritory which then extended from
the Mississippi to the Missouri
rivers.
Three of these original counties
lay within the general area
bounded by the Mississippi and
the st. Croix. These were Ramsey,
Benton and Washington. All of the
other counties bore Indian names.
There were Waubashaw. Dahko-
tab, Wahnathtah, Mahkatho, Penn
bina and Itasca. Some of these
names, with a different spelilng IN
some cases. still remain. But the
area Of the first counties is very
much smaller. Some of these
counties originally extended five
hundred miles in length, Some of
them were larger than states in
the eastern part of the nation.
Within a very few years all of
the larger original counties were
greatly changed. Settlement de-
manded government and govern
ment required county seats. These
centers of government had to be

Council City. their terminal point
never seemed so far away as on
this particular journey.
Miss Monroe'S role in the
script written by Frank Fenton
is that of a dizzy, mixed-up
blond who sings in lowdown
frontier saloons when the pic
ture opens. Her repertory is
an aphrodisical medley about
silver dollar passing from hand
to hand and something about
who's going to stake a claim.
She does this sort of thing, of
course, only because it is what
the customers want, not what
she wants.
She. herself, yearns for security
and reSpectability. No girl ever
worked harder for these than
she does on the long raft trip
down the River of No Return with
M1tchum and Little Tommy

Sixth Birthday of Toast
By Harry Macarthur

Only the pioneer viewers re-

It happened back in the days
when the unfamiliar television
antenna marked the house where
all the kids in the neighborhood
could be found daily at S pm.
and all the men on fight nights.
Small screen" meant one Of
those sets with a finch viewing
tube.
It was 1948 when, Martin and
Lewis happened to television.
The program which introduced
them to what was then "the new
medium" was the premiere per-
Torrance Of Toast Of the
Town" on that June 20 over
CHS.
There may have been times
since when Ed Sullivan, the
Toast" proprietor, has regret
ed performing the introduction,
Martin and Lewis took to tele-
vision like q Senator to micro
phone. They became the heaviest
ammunition MICS &C o IN d y

the battle for the TV audience

He can be excused if there are
times when he wishes he had
introduced the Slapstick pair to
the joys of entertaining on
Mediterranean cruise ships. Or
taking up jai alai and moving to
Cuba. Or doing almost anything,
in fact, but appearing on tele-
vision opposite Toast Of the
Town."

Mr.. Sullivan has managed to
become q TV fixture, however. in
spite Of competition from Mar
tin and Lewis or anyone else. It
was not always easy. The fact
that he was q newspaper col
umniSt did not win him any log
rolling praise. Somebody resur-
rected an old joke: who called
our master of ceremonies a no
good bum? Who called that no
good bum q master Of cere-
monies?"
Mr.. Sullivan was described
often as 1.-THE Great Stone Face.
He countered with the statement
that a man standing in front OF
that camera, aware Of all the
things that might happen to
foul up the program, just didn't
have anything to smile about.

Biographies Of theatrical fig-

work have been another Sullivan
TV innovation. One Of these
