Wild Game

The Nebraska Game Commits
sion is concerned with the public's
efforts to give aid to apparent
ly' orphaned wildlife.
Each spring numerous Incl
dents occur in which people try
to help wildlife by taking care of
all sorts of young they happen
to find.
According to a Game Commits
sion spokesman, Besides the
strict legal aspect of people try
ing to raise baby game animasls
and birds, our concern is also
for the safety of the people.
Many Of our "cute" game babies
become quite dangerous as they
grow up. After all, they are
basically wild animals"
MANY of the young found ap-
parently abandoned ire not a
bandoned. If people would leave
them alone, the majority of them
will be reunited with their moth
ers", he continued.
Legally, anyone who has q
young game animal is violating
the law as much as if they shot

Dewey Crockett"
Being Presented

COlOrful Career Of Legendary
Hero Depicted In "Davy Crock
EFT, King OF The Wild Frontier
Few men have lived more adj
%venturous lives than Davy Crock
EFT. whose colorful career is de-
picted by Walt Disney in "Davy
Crockett, King of the Wild Front
ier,' starring Fess Parker and
Buddy Ebsen, now playing at the
State Theatre.
AS seen in the feature length
production, in color by Technical
or, Davy grew bored with simply
fighting bears to death and be-
gan trying to "grin" them down.
When his death grin" failed,
Davy was forced to wrestle the
bear into submission.
The same valor that disting-
uished Crockett as a bear slayer
won him further fame as an In
dian hunter. He joined General
Andrew Jackson's regulars to
fight depredating Creeks. But
Crockett was also a fair man who
lived by the motto. BE sure
you're right, then go ahead"
When Jackson later attempted to
deprive Indians Of certain gov
ernmental rights, Davy vocifer-
ously opposed his one-time gen
eral. ;,
None Of Crockett's exploits,
however, surpassed his heroism
at the Alamo. With a group of
miscellaneous drifters scornfully
called "Crockett's Company"
the fabulous Tennessean Joined
Col. Jim Bowie's volunteers at
the Alamo and defended it to
the finish.
"Davy Crockett, King of the
Wild Frontier" is released by
Buena Vista. 1t was photograph
ed in actual settings throughout
Tennessee and the Great Smoky
Mountains under the direction OF
Norman Foster.

Water issue Still Alive

1t Is encouraging to learn that newly
elected members OF the Fairfax County
Board OF Supervisors intend to keep the
county's water problem 1alive," despite
the voters rejection Of a $30-million
water bond issue. There Is good reason
to believe that many Of the citizens who
campaigned against and voted against
1.-THE bond issue were not opposed to the
idea of single, county-owned water sys-
tenn. There was great deal Of oppose
ton, however, to the specific proposal
placed before the voters for q yes-or-no
decision.
The particular question before the
citizens was couclled in rather vague
terms. The voters were asked to approve
or disapprove q record bond authoriza-
tion based on q generalized plan for Il
county-wide public water system but
without details as to Just how the money
would be spent andIor any guarantee as
to the efiiciency, scope or cost OF the
services to be rendered. With s25 mill
Hon worth Of school and hospital bond
issues also to be voted on, the addition

Evening star., 1955-11-13

indefinite program proved too much for
majority Of the voters.
Under State law, a year must elapse
before another vote can be taken on the
water bond issue. That should provide
time enough for preparation Of more
explicit plan. Certainly it would be
wrong to assume that Tuesdays vote
killed the movement for an integrated
public water system in Fairfax County.
The county is growing rapidly, and as 1t
continues to grow the need also win
grow for single system to replace the
outmoded patchwork system Of private
plants and individual wells on which the
county now relies. The demands Of pub
lie health, fire protection and general
welfare point to public system as the
best means of relief.

The War Against Wor

The "news" In Adlai Stevenson's
speech at Charlottesville was found In his
suggestion that United Nations guards"
might well be assigned to patrol duty
along the Arab-Israeli borders. But this
was by no means the really important
thing that Mr.. Stevenson had to say.
It may be doubted that the speaker
was doing much more than wondering
out loud" when he tossed In the u. N.
guard suggestion. For it is q suggestion
which raises more questions than 1t an
swers. What kind Of U. N. force did he
have in mind? How useful would U. N.
guards be In the Middle East while u. N.
MEMBERSHIPS continue to furnish arms
to the respective sides? What real assur-
ance is there that both sides would
respect" United Nations patrols? These
certainly are some of the things that
would call for the most earnest consider
alton before any serious move Is made
along the line OF the Stevenson sug-
gestion.
This alluSion to the Middle East, how
ever, was only relatively small part Of
q much larger problem. OF greatest con-
cern to Mr.. Stevenson, and rightly 80, was
what he called the "most urgent struggle
Of all-the "war against war itself"
He was addressing himself primarily
to the ultimate goal" Of true disarma-
menta goal that is not merely limita-
tion Of arms, not IAN uneasy balance Of
weapons, or Of terror, but the abolition
of war by the abolition of the means Of
war" And then came this key paragraph:
The dificulties in the way Of achieving
an enforceable system Of disarmament are
immense. Maybe the problem is insoluble
now, as it has been In the past But 1t seems
TO me that the urgency is such that we can
settle for nothing less than sustained and
dogged search for effective disarmament
with the best brains we can muster. and that
we have no greater foreign policy objective.
This is essentially what Mr.. Dulles
was saying at Geneva last Thursday in
this sentence: when issues as great as
those here are at stake, we shall not
easily be discouraged" Mr.. Stevenson's
admonition reinforces this position. He
has given us good counsel counsel well
worth remembering later this week when,
as probably win be the case, the foreign
ministers leave Geneva empty handed.

Since the romance Of
Princess Margaret of England
and certain matters pertairi-
ing thereto have become q
topic for worldwide discuss
sion, ! should like to comment
on one phase Of this subject
the recent movement in Great
Britain to bring about separa-
tion Of church and state In
that country.
To those who love and re-
spect the Bible as the Word
Of the Lord. 1t is almost in
conceivable that any religious
organization would claim TO
have dominion over the state.
Neither Jesus Christ nor any
Of His Apostles ever said or
wrote anything Of which we
have record that would
slightly indicate the church
should have any jurisdiction
whatever over civil author
tiles. Christ did say. MY king
dom Is not Of this world"
(John, xyiii.36). But nowhere
did ne say His Church would
exercise civil power over the
affairs OF the people, The
Church Of Christ Is & spiritual
institution and should confine
It's activities entirely to that
field Of work.
We are happy to note that
there seems TO be 3 definite
trend throughout the world
toward religion. and that 1t
appears there Is some positive
thinking on the part Of some
highly intelligent and intel
lectual people toward the idea

IN many ways ours Is an lp-
rooted generation. On Its coat
Of arms there might well be
pictured q fallen tree with its
tangled and twisted roots ex-
posed to the destroying ele-
ments. The lure Of somewhere
else in this age Of rapid transit
and beckoning, far-away green
pastures constantly tempts peo-
pie to move Onto pull up
stakes and to depart with
everything else in their bag
gage but roots. Statistics re-
veal America as a Nation OF
moving gypsies. In some great
gathering little groups win
stand to sing ecstaticaily their
State songs but it Is largely q
sentimental and nostalgia vo-
cal exercise. They really live
there no more. They are just
waving the roots which once
tied their family tree perhaps
for generations to the same
ancestral field.
But being uprooted from
some physical environment
which Graded our formative
years is perhaps inevitable -as
even gardened suburbs house
restless sojourners whose roots
are cut. But the tragic thing
Is that these restless. moving
muititudes are symbols Of spir-
itual roots which have been
seyered--the roots Of q nour-
ishing and sustaining faith.
A great host of those moving
under the neon lights Of this
artificial. sophisticated night
club civilization are SO worldly
wise that they have seen
through everything including
morality. In that cynical at
mosphere Of futility and dis
illusionment we are witnessing
d steadily increasing crime
wave, o coarsening Of maF1-
ners, an orgy Of gambling, q
dehauching Of morals. o low
ertng Of common courtesy and
decency, and a debasing Of sex
as In legalized free love men
and women rush from one dis
carded mate to another in un-
abashed abandon. The fact is
that our technical skill pro-
ducing the wonders of this
gIittering age has gone thou
sands Of miles beyond our
moral capital to sustain the
strain. We have extended the
tent without steadying the
stakes. Secularism, which Is
the lack ot roots in spiritual
yerities, is whitening the
moral fibre Of our generation.
