Where is West?

A few weeks ago two hombres
we're arrested in this western
town for stealing. Now, don't
get your eyebrows too far apart,
pardner, thse men we're caught
redhanded with the goods. They
had sneaked into the desert and
robbed Mother Nature.
No self respecting thief would
claim these two men. They have
ruined the outlawng for years to
come. No longer can ! watch a
real rootin' tootin' hardridin'
gunslingin' western on the screen
without flinching at these two
men.
No. they didn't steal a calf or
a horse--guess what these two
brave modern light fingered Har-
rvs stole Is cactus plants.
Too bad--they will become the
laughingstock of the cellblock.
These misguided sticky fin
gered males made the daily news
paper with a cacti snatching
story. They we're apprehended
when they tried to sell the plants
to an alert nurseryman. Guess.
he knew his real plants from hot
ones.
The West amt what it used to
bel In other words home on the
range has been altered to home
with all built-ins plus range.
Ridin' Ole Paint has become
swooping along in my Barracuda
or breezing in our Thunderbird.
You might get western flavor
II you ride In a new Mustang,
but where's the real. live West7
You could visit Scottsdale, where
the city fathers urge you to visit
the Vests most western town.
All | can ever view as | drive
east to Scottsdale is the western
facades Of the buildings--most of
them look phony or funny (as you
desire).
Time was when men who took
to thieving stole money or hor-
ses, sometimes both. But who In
thunderation ever heard of pair
of cacti-nappers.
Once a year Rodeo Week allows
all Of the redblooded men in the
Valley to wear boots and Lewis

even grow boards and all groups

MALCOLM IS WRONG

The mOuthingS Of Malcolm X, the former
right hand assistant Of Elijah AAthamn,0d,
founder Of the Black Mus Inns, are border
ing on the verge of insanity.
He is unsOtsely and untbinkingly urging
Negroes in America to arm thenSe hes and
prepare for guerilla attacks against the
unite population.
When he uithdYew from the Black Muslin
organization, Malcolm X formed nesV
group, n0aO he has banded together a neV.
political group as NEIL. This group called
the AfYO-AmeYic0n Freedom Fighters, IS
strictly a political body, which he hopes to
link with african nations.
He believes that the AAFF Will be a basic
force to overthrow the ''1O1aite Devils" just #
as the Algerian freedom fighters and the
Aau Mau did in Africa.
AS he travels about bYe0 ching the bhilOS-
Obhy Of hate and MAR, Malcolm X should
remember that only in the United States
would he be able to openly advocate such
drastic measures.
No one can be sure, but it is certain that
some Of his mild yantings are parity yesbon-
Sible for some Of the senSelesS bloodshed in
NeW York by young Negro hO0dh4naS.

ONLY ONE YEAR

The tragic circumstances of the death of
President John F. Kennedy seem far re-
moved, yet, they remain closer than ne
realize.
AS me recall his programs, dreams and
full span Of life, though a young man in a
world Of older and more sOeatheYed state
men, ne realize that he 1O0S unique.
A product of wealth and the meV breed
of politician, John F. Kennedy, aO0S able in
little more than ts0o years to etch his
name in the minds and hearts of this nation
and many others.
1t is a challenge for us to realize that
one man, debruved and able to u0ndeY u,a-
hindered mus able to destroy the lite Of
Kennedy.
The assassin in turn Mus destroyed by
another man aOho also sOus able to move
about u,1hinde red. The challenge is for
all Of us to keep our eyes ubaOaYd to
greater heights and refuse to brood over
the tragedy Of November 81, 1868.
Only year has passed but ottemtinaeS
