Wild Horses Are
Problem for
BIC. CattIenlen

FORT ST. JOHN, BIC, R-
Ranchers north of the Peace River
in British Columbia are still kick
ing around the problem of what
to do with bands of renegade hors-
es which are threatening to crowd
out more than 5000 head of cattle
from the open range.
Latest move to dispose of the
unbranded cayuses is proposal
by the Upper Cache Creek Live
stock Breeders Assn. that the
BIC. government close the range
under authority of the grazing
act. Under the act, not now en-
forced in the Peace River area,
Crown Range is closed to horses
for a certain period each year
during which ranchers must get
them off or they are rounded up
for slaughter.
Stockmen estimate several hun
dred "slick ears"-horses turned
wild-are roaming the Crown
Range at the expense of the badly
needed feed for cattle.
Instead of slaughtering the ami
mails, should a roundup be or
dered, the cattlemen proposed the
mustangs be auctioned off and
sold in the Yukon for packing into
ranger stations, mining operations
and engineering camps.
Until the Alaska Highway was
opened to the public after the sec
ond world war, horses were the
main means of conveyance in the
Peace River area since pioneers
first treked into the region along
the old Edison trail from Edmon-
ton. During construction of the
highway which runs from Dawson
Creek, BIC, to Fairbanks, hun
dreds of pack horses used to sup
ply road camps later ran wild and
are believed to form the nucleus
of the present renegate bands.

Corporate Income Taxes
And Many Excuses Will
Stay at Present Levels

WASHINGTON, Incorporate
income taxes and the excuses on
a long list of goods will stay at
present levels for another year.
President Eisenhower last night
signed the bill postponing a de-
crease which otherwise would
have taken effect April l.
The corporate income levy,
which has stood at 81 percent
since the Korean War, was due to
drop to Al percent after March.
At the same time, without ex-
tension, excuses would have gone
down on alcoholic beverages, Gig
arets, gasoline, trucks, automo-
biles, buses, automobile parts and
accessories, diesel and special mo-
tor fuels.
The annual loss of revenue from
the lower rates would have run
an estimated SO billion.

Quo Vadis' Is
Destined To Be
Movie Milestone


In "Quo Vadis," M-G-M has
produced a film that is destined
to become motion picture mile
stone.
With Robert Taylor and Deb
orah Kerr heading its cast of
thousands, this thrilling story of
the birth of Christianity in a
pagan world is brought to the
screen with magnificent splendor.
Etched against the most Spectac-
ular of all of history's backdrops,
that of ancient Rome in the days
of the Emperor Nero, this is the
story of a handsome warrior and
a beautiful girl who find their
love is matched by their devotion
to a cause which becomes a cru
SADIE against mans inhumanity
towards man.
It is based on the novel by
Henryk SienkieWicz, which head
ed the beSt-Seller lists for Is years
after its first publication in 1895
and which has been translated
into every language in the world.
1t was filmed entirely in Rome
amid the actual scenes of its his
toric locale It's spectacular scenes
required more sets 115), includ-
ing reproduction of the Circus
of Nero and the filming of the
burning of Rome; more actors
$500 in one scene alone); more
costumes $4,000; more props
Q50,000); more cast principals
(110 actors in speaking roles;
more animals Including 63 lions)
than any motion picture ever
made.
So that "Quo Vadis' could be
brought to the screen in Techni-
color (the first such ever made
in Italy,, more than $50 tons of
electrical equipment was shipped
from Hollywood to Italy.
Robert Taylor plays has most
colorful role as the Roman war
rior, Marcus Vinicius. Deborah
Kerr enacts the lovely Lygia. Leo
Gem and Peter Ustinov, both
prominent in the English theater,
are cast respectively as Petronius
and Nero.
"Quo Vadis," starting four
day run in Nome at The Theater,
was directed by Mervyn Leroy,
who has given the screen many
notable pictures.

natural, and many other catagories.
According to DR.. Puckett's files,
animals are among the most common
subjects. eff you see an owl before
midnight, you will acquire wisdom"
say the Irish; or eff you kill an owl,
you will improve your eyesight," "
some Hungarians in Ohio believe.
"It's unlucky to put on someone
else's shoes" according to the Finnish.
If you throw shoe over your head,
and if the tip points toward the door,
Czechs say you'll be married within
a year.
Putting a hat on the bed means
company is coming according to some
folk belief; putting the hat on table
is a sign of impending illness; and if
you dream of hat you'll have
enemies!
When a COW tries to scratch it's
ear you can expect rain, is rural be-
lief found in Wyandot County, Ohio.
Onions and potatoes always should
be planted on opposite sides of the
garden for best growing, and potatoes
planted in the morning will do better
than those set out after noon, another
superstition proclaims.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-04-05

Do you believe that if you jump
over a broom nine times you'll be
married within year?
Or that if two squirrels chase one
another it forecasts rain?
Or that the hooting of an owl is
an omen of death, to be prevented
only by turning your shoes upside
down?
These and some $500 other super
stitions already have been gathered in
the Buckeye State by DR.. Newbell
N. Puckett of Cleveland, head of the
sociology department at Western Re-
serve university.
DR.. Puckett is interested in collect
ing and publishing these old-time
beliefs before they are forgotten. He
searches both for surerstitions hand
ed on in Ohio from one generation to
the next, and for those brought to the
state from other parts of this country
and from other nations of the world
Already in DIR. Puckett's collection
dealing with animals, household OBJ
jects, disease and folk medicine,
courtship and marriage, farm life,
games and sports, gambling, witches,
the evil eye, death, burial, the super

Still other farm beliefs warn an
greasing a wagon, do not turn the
wheels backward or the wagon will
run hard" Also, IL YOU are short on
hog feed, cut off the hogs tail and
he won't eat so much. A COW will go
dry if she eats acorns, if she is MIXED
on the ground, or if fork is stuck
in the milk.
These and hundreds of other folk
beliefs already found in Ohio are re-
ported in "a Check List of Ohio
Superstitions," published by DR..
Puckett. The professor also has pub
lished books and many articles on
similar topics in the field of folklore.

dent of both the Ohio and the Cleve-
land Folklore Societies and is an
active member of many other pro-
fessional groups interested in preserv-
ing folk beliefs found in America.
DR.. Puexett's current research prof
ect into Ohio superstition already has
created widespread interest among
the states historians, sociologists and
others concerned with folk history.
"We are especially anxious to pub
lish our collection, as Ohio is far be-
hind other states in its superstition
recording" DR.. Pickett noted.
