On the Air
Show Must Go On-and On
BY BERNIE HARRISON
Star Tv Critic

Samuel Jackson Snead, the Sidney Carton
OF the links, did far. far funnier thing on TV
recently than any comedian has ever done.
On the 18th hole OF his NBC-TV match,
which was played last December and shown sew
eral Sundays ago on the NBC-TV series, the
kindly better from White Sulphur Springs, West
Virginia, counted his clubs.
He had one too many
If he announced it, the match would auto
matically be over by the rules and the producers
would have only half program. So he played
on and threw the match.
1.-THE show must go on" he said piercingly,
putting his finger right on it. Sans pretty
fair putter you know.
One of the programs co-SponsorS, who
wasn't in on the joke, quit. A match is match
is match was his argument; but if athletes
are sometimes deceived into thinking they're
in show biz who's to blame? The confusion is
general. Mr.. Sneads sponsor to the contrary,
the show does go on, and on-and on.
For a case in point, we submit the series,
December Bride which is apparently in its last
stages as daytime rerun Not only is the star,
Spring Byington, preparing new series, but two
of her former associates, Harry Morgan and
Verna Felton, are prominently involved in
another. In fact, the latter series, For Pete'S
Sake, is already set for the fall by CHS and is
direct descendant of Bride
Harry Morgan will again play Pete Porter
and the writer's now creating the character
of his wife "AgneS"-who was often mentioned
but never seen on the first series.
Thus, one show begets two.
Danny Thomas is the SlyeSt practitioner Of
TVS Show-muSt- go-on theory. He is trying to
get out of his series while it is still running
with Pat Harrington, jr, the heir apparent.
Danny could then go to other things, like count
ing his residual money
This suggests an IDEA for Robert Young who,
along with partner Eugene Rodney, has def
nitely decided not to make any more Father
Knows Best shows. In joint statement, they

INMATES WHO TAKE OFF
TIME WAS. oLDsTERs tell us, when prisoners took
to running away as ducks take to water. Almost every
month some prisoner would take of, spend a few days
in the nearby hills or bushes, and when hunger or ex-
posure became too severe he would make himself avail
able for capture.
THEN CAME MANY, many years during which
nothing Of the sort took place. Those confined to prison
served their time and were released. What else could
they do? First, the prison sentences were mostly Of
short duration. secondly, there was the type of freedom
which would cause shudders up and down the spines Of
criminals and offenders elsewhere. Many a prisoner
promptly become a fully trusted soul. He would move
about, perform whatever tasks were assigned to him,
and then simply stayed in the vicinity so he could be
confined when night came.
BUT NOW H same stunt is returning, and a
couple of inmates are taking off on their own every now
and again. One could imagine what a playwright, or
a ~storyteller could do with such a situation. In a small
place, surrounded by water, with everybody knowing
everybody else, and few, if any, places to hide, an es
capped prisoner is almost a fantastic subject for a story.
Yet, it happens, and the warden and other authorities
are faced with a new and difficult task. All in all this is
serious. In fact, it is more facinating than anything else,
SO long as escapes do not become violent and attack
people, or cause injury to property. But with weapons,
such as firearms not available, and in extremely short
supply, the situation may be in hand. Just why an in
mate Of a penal institution in these Islands would seek
to escape is beyond us.
BACK TO THE more serious side, the problem is.
that the warden, who is responsible for the c~onfine-
ment of these inmates, and he no doubt has had his
headaches, and wishes these men would not saunter off,
making moreworkfOr him. However, as we see il, there
is not likely to be much trouble in this direction. Geo
graphy and other conditions are on the side of the
authorities.

State Crop Report
Indicates Near
Normal Conditions

With two-thirds of the winter
wheat planted, indications are
that the crop is terminating fair
ly well. Only a few widely dis
persed counties indicate poor
development resulting from mois-
ture deficiencies. However, soil
moisture is short in most eastern
and southern counties and is in
adequate in other scattered areas
the Montana Crop and Livestock
Reporting Service indicated to-
day.
Grasshopper infestation has
hampered winter wheat develop
ment in some eastern localities,
but heavy damage has been limi-
ted to small areas.
Cutting of the third alfalfa
hay crop is about three-fifths
complete. The acreage harvested
this year may be less than usual
due to the hot, dry summer.
Range livestock are in good
condition except for some range
feed deficient areas where they
are only fair. About half the
livestock has been moved off the
summer ranges.
The report states that calves
and lambs are weighing in light
er than usual in some areas, but
otherwise normal. Marketing of
lambs is picking up, but calf
movement has been quite slow.
