presidsns. Spiritual Mobilization
/ heard a statement the other
day to the effect that people run
into trouble when they think
they have a perfect society and
try to put lock On it.
Of course they do. To begin
with, there is nothing of human
accomplishment that is 100 per-
cent perfect. But take the finest
home Imaginable and lock it up
and what happens? Dust col
lects, cobwebs appear, window
panes become dirty, dry rot sets
in.
Moreover, the house is failing
to perform the very function for
which it was created. Living in
it, of course, produces a certain
amount of wear and tear-but it
is then doing what it was built
to do. And it will likely be re-
modelled and improved from
time to time.
Lock up society and largely
the same thing happens as when
you lock up house. 1t starts
dying-since it is cut off from
life itself.
But to advocate libertarianism
is not to ask for lock on society.
1t is to call for a drastic house
cleaning--to get rid of the in
credible accumulation of junk
that is so cluttering up our So
ciety that we can hardly move
around any more without run
ming into something. Who-ex-
cept a collectivist-could object
to that?

Lines Across the Sea
By SHEILAH GRAHAM

LONDON.-When Esther Williams was asked
to appear on the British edition Of whats My
Line?" she decided to sing her replies as she
did on the American version. "It's hardly likely
that anyone who saw the first will see the Sec
ond" she assured husband Ben Gage. But I
saw them both. Afterward. asked the actress
mermaid, "Was there any difference between
the show here and the one you did with Dorothy
Kngallen, Arlene Frances, Steve Allen, Bennett
Cert and John Daily? "A big difference" said
Esther. "Here they have such beautiful man
ners" I'm surprised, because Gilbert Harding
IL the rudest man have ever listened to on TV.
"And" continued Esther, "they say things so
easily here, especially when they are thinking
fast We talk so much in the U. S. A."
They dropped Ed Murrow on BIC because
of the cost. So what happens? The Midands
TV station-Granada-buys Murrow, leaving the
wealthier, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS British Broad
casting Corp. with egg all over its red face.
Eds style of reporting is being initiated by many
news commentators here.
I appeared with Ben Lyon, and Cassandra
Of the Daily Mirror in London, on the ITV net
work C'ITV" means-youd never guess-ASso-

view by Elkan Allan and Nick Barker was Mari

as you may know, but this didn't-he called
her Marilyn after Marilyn Miller. And that's
how our MIMI now signs her married name.

"BEAUTIFUL"' : That's the type Of
manners the British panelists have,
says Esther Williams, who reports a
big difference between the shows
abroad and those in America.
Arlene Frances was in and out of London in

Wild Rice Harvest
By THEODORE ID. KEMPER

using a fOrked stick. while another
Indian. usually the mans wife, sits
up forward holding two sticks. AS
the boat passes through clumpS and
patches of grain, she uses one stick
to bend a number of stalks over the
side of the canoe With the other
stick, she taps the heads lightly so the
ripened- kernels fall into the boat.
And so the canoe passes through the
paddles until it is loaded with rice.
While much of the grain is lost by
this method, the Indians claim it is
superior to others. for the fallen grain
helps to feed the waterfowl and also
acts as seed for next years crop.
Like their ancestors before them.
the Indians keep some part of their
harvest for their own use. Chippewa
lore lamentS the Indians who suffered
because they did not harvest SUFFICIENT
rice for their needs during the coming
year. Unlike their forefatherS, how
ever. who owned the fields, the
Indians must purchase harvesting
licenses from the State Department
of Conservation, which now controls
the rice territory. AS recently as 20
years ago. the jobs of drying. parch-
ing, hulling and winnowing the rice
were performed by the Indians. car
rying them on as their forefatherS
did before them. Today, the opera
tionS which prepare the rice for the
table and help give it some of it's
inimitable flavor are done by the
companies that buy the grain from
the Indians, and. after preparing it,
bring it to market.
While few modern housewives
haven't cooked the kind of rice that's

the turn of the century did some

to stocking it regularly. Today. it is
an expensive gourmet's speciality.
Indians. however. are not entirely out
of the wild rice picture. for much of
it is still harvested by descendants
of the Chippewa and Sioux tribes who
once fought great tribal wars for
control Of the rice lands.

gathering the grain The price is set
by the needs of the market, and all
rice harvested is sold by the Indians
TO representatives of the commercial
rice companies, who bid for the grain

While price varies from bag TO bag.
the method Of harvesting has not
changed in several hundred years.
When white men first entered the rice
fields. they brought mechanical har-
vesters which proved ineffective. so
the old Indian method had to be REIN
stituted Ordinary harvesting meth
odS failed because the kernels of rice
do not cling TO the stalks. as do other
grains. but fall OF as soon as they are
ripe. This means that the grain must
be harvested gently so that only the
ripened rice is taken and the re-
mainder left TO ripen in time to be
harvested later Since the ripening
process takes about three weeks, the
same fields must be combed again and
again to obtain all the rice.
The Indians set out TO harvest in
teams of two in fiat-bottom canoes.
