I'm not going to give him up"
she said. when she heard me behind
her. He's a gentleman and love
him"
At first I thought she was talking
about Daddy, but then saw it was
the brown horse she was staring at.
"An army horse is a jumper, is
it," she went on. "What good
would it be to the army if it couldn't
jump" And there was something
about the way she said it that made
me wonder, but I had to leave for
school.
WHEN THE ROADS started to
dry out, that week, Ma began rid
ing Bomber every afternoon. She
was always careful to be home
again before Dad got back from the
office, because he had told her not
to go out alone on the horse. Ma
had never ridden anything but the
fat western pony they got for me
when we moved on to our place in
the country, but think she did not
like it when Dad reminded her of
her age. And Bomber was a smart
horse, all right. With Ma he was
always careful. He stood quietly
until she had heaved herself up and
was settled in the saddle, and when
he did go it was when she said and
only as fast as she wanted. But
guess Dad would never have be-
heved that.

practicing the jumps for the horse
show that was going to be helc
there soon. One of the men called
out to Ma.
'Ready to try it, yet?"
Ma shook her head and I near1,
died laughing at the idea of M
jumping with horse.
AND THEN, a couple of day
later, Dad came home and said h

may not get more than twent
dollars for him." said Daddy

going to be sold, but l had hardly
got into the house myself when
Daddy suddenly drove into the yard
with a strange man. And was he
sore to find Ma and the horse gone!
Whew!
Have I got to run out here every
hour of the day and see what fool
antics are going on?' he asked,
rolling his eyes and getting red in
the face. "a strange horse and a
stubborn woman add up to murder!"
And he was so excited he tried to
walk through the door without
opening it.
''She only rides down to the fair
grounds to watch them practicing
for the horse show" I told Dad. Il
can take you right to where she is"
"All right" said Daddy, "get in
the car and show me. This fellow
wants to see Bomber-and want
to see Mama"
WE MADE PRETTY good time
getting down to the fairgrounds, and
1 showed him where to stop along
the fence, but we didn't see Ma
anywhere. The horses weren't
jumping, just then, and the arena
was quite empty when suddenly
someone said, Who's that?" And
there she was, our Ma. riding Bomb
er at a gallop straight for the first
jump
Daddy burst out of that car like
something had stung him, and I
yelled, ''Yay, MAJ" just as Dad went
over the high gate without seeming
to touch a single pole, and she and
Bomber cleared the brush jump.
Gee, it was slick!
But she had cleared the chicken
coop jump, too, by the time Dad
reached the middle of the field, and
she was rounding the turn for the
first hurdle when she saw him. She
sure was surprised, guess, because
she pulled up on the reins and
Bomber sort of stopped. When he
went on again he had lost speed,
and as he reached the jump he
tried to make up for it with mighty
heave that lifted him at least foot
above the top bar.
THAT JUMP SHOOK Ma loose
from her stirrups, and when Bomb
er hit the ground like a ton of
bricks, Ma kept on coming and hit
the ground even harder that he did
Bomber stopped almost where he
lit and stood there, shaking all over
while Daddy ran over to where Ma
was lying, and 1 busted out bawling
The man in our car was moppine
his bald head. And the other rider,
just froze where they were. I go
my eyes clear enough, once, to Sc,
that Daddy was kissing her face
and was sure she must be dead.
Well, she wasn't, and she didn'
even bust anything, but she was il
bed pretty near a week. And mayb
it was worth it, at that, because
heard Dad and the man who wante
to buy Bomber talking on the from
porch.
Il thought you said you had
broken down army horse to sell,
the man said.

Asks Mccarthy Custer
BY the Assoeiated Press

EAU CLAIRE. Wis. Aug. 81.
A Wisconsin labor organiza-
ton has called upon the United
States Senate to "oust" Sen. Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wiscon-
sin, from its midst before he
accomplishes his apparent pur-
pose of building a Fascist move
ment in the United States"
The request was made in q
resolution adopted unanimously
by $50 delegates to the con-
vention of the Wisconsin State
Federation of Labor (AFL). It
also proposed an inquiry into
Senator McCarthy's financial po-
sition and his income taxes and
an investigation of the Senator's
supporters because of their
seemingly subversive Fascist
movement In America"
The resolution accused Sena-
tor Mccarthy Of aiding and
abetting" the Communist gov
eminent of Soviet Russia, as
serted that he was attempting
to seize control of the United
States Government, and said
that his Investigations were
destroying the Bill of Rights.

Segregation Called
Scandal Of Church

EVANSTON, ILL.,, Aug. 21.-
Christian leaders from many
lands. today were told that racial
segregation Is "the great scandal
in the church, especially in the
United States and South AZ
rica."
The problem was laid before
delegates to the assembly of the
World Council of Churches with
q suggestion that they search
for its solution in "a calm Chris
tan spirit"
Benjamin E. Mays. president
Of Morehouse College, Atlanta,
said:
1.-THE local churches permit
secular bodies. such as the State
and Federal courts, the United
Nations, big league baseball, pro-
fessional boxing, colleges, the
public schools and theaters to
initiate change in the area of
race.
But even when secular bodies
initiate the change. local
churches. Negro and white. fol-
low slowly or not at all.
ut will be a sad commentary
on our life and time If future
historians can write that the
last bulwark Of segregation based
on color in the United States
and South Africa was Gods
church."

the Communist Party and Com
