TOMMY

ARMOUR

IF YOU think golf is a "left-handed"game —try Tommy Armour's ad

vice. "Just hold the club firmly withyour left hand and whack the hell outof the ball with your right!"

Tommy ought toknow. One of the gfe#ttournament names ofall time, he has made aneven greater name forhimself as a teacher.

He gives lessons at thesumptuous Boca RatonClub in Florida — tobusinessmen, celebritiesand topflight golfers.The price of his lessons

trying to break 90. Armour wentaround with him and just kept repeating two principles. To everyone'samazement—the business man shot a 79!

Turns Good Golfers into ChampsIn 1934, Lawson Little was having a

little trouble with his game. Armoursaid: "Lawson, you have a very goodswing—except for one thing. Do this forme." And he told him what to do. Law-son Little captured the British Amateur that year, and the next year, too!

Other golfers — including FrankStranahan, BabeDidrickson Zaharias,Betty Jameson,Patty Berg—havefreely admitted theirdebt to Armour'skeen teaching.

After 25 years. Armour has put thisshrewd golf insightinto a book. It iscalled How to PlayYour Best Golf AllTHE Time.

In it, Tommy Armour has cut awayall the frills and theories. He gives youspecific ways in which most any golfercan cut from 5 to 12 strokes off hisaverage game. Here are just a few ofthem.

1. HOW TO TEE THE BALL-One littletrick that can add 50 yards or more toyour drive. And it's an extra safeguardagainst "dubbing" your drive.

5. DO YOUR FEET GET IN THE WAY?—Let Armour show you a simple wayto be sure your footwork is always correct.

9. WHAT HAPPENS AT THE TOPOF YOUR BACKSWING?—A briefsecond at the top of your back-swing can greatly improve thetiming of most golfers. Armourshows you how to make the mostof that split second.

He has won virtually every major golftournament in the world, including theU. S., British, and Canadian OpenChampionships, the P. G. A., and hasgained an even greater reputation as ateacher than he did during his heydayin tournament golf.

ELKS NATIONAL FOUNDATION

Exalted Ruler Anthony M. Cardarell ofQuincy, Mass., Lodge, presents an ElksNational Foundation grant of 8700 to MissBernice R. Lyman, West Quincy. as ahelpful aid in completing a four-yearcourse of training at Boston University asa specialist in cerebral palsy therapy. Thiswas the fourth award that Miss Lyman liasreceived from the Foundation, making atotal grant over the four-year period of$2,700.

•

An Elks National Foundation tuitiongrant enabled Mrs. Rose Louise Widner ofHutchinson, Kansas, to attend SyracuseUniversity, and at the Allen School inHutchinson she presently is teaching aclass of ortliopedically handicapped children who are victims of cerebral palsy.

In the picture below, Mrs. Widner isshown with a group of children that she ishelping toward a better life. "All of tiiechildren are progressing satisfactorily,"

Mrs. Widner wrote to Chairman Malleyrecently, saying, "the class has been wellaccepted by the people of the community.Again I thank you for the Elks NationalFoundation Grant."

•

For some time. Past Grand ExaltedRuler John F. Malley, Chairman of theElks National Foundation, has urged attorneys who are members of the Orderand who are doing estate work, to keepthe Foundation very much in mind for bequests since the Principal Fund providesa means of making an enduring gift.

During the past few years there havebeen several important bequests and Mr.Malley advises that on November 19thUnited States Government Bonds valuedat approximately 845,000 were receivedas a partial distribution of the Nathan 0.Noah Estate. Mr. Malley expects that thebalance of the Estate will be turned overto the Foundation Trustees before the endof January, although the value of thebalancc is not known definitely, since aportion of the securities is presently heldin the Philippine Republic.

Brother Noah was a resident of Tucson,Ariz., at the time of his death and bequeathed the bulk of his estate to theFoundation to establish the Nathan 0.Noah Scholarship Trust Fund.

Miss Leslie B. Remick, Wakefield.Mass., who was sponsored by the localLodge, has been awarded a 8750 ElksNational Foundation Fellowship for herjunior year at the Boston School of Occupational Therapy.

iiu m mBY WILLIAM BYRON MOWERY

The dreaded carnival cage was behind the woif

Katofcah, but now civilization was at his heels.

UNDER THE STARS of that October night, the bigyoung wolf called Katokah had paused on a high,

rocky hill, lost and bewildered, and was trying to get hisbearings. With pursuit hot on his heels, he was searchingfor some direction, some route of escape, that would takehim out of danger and on to refuge in some wilderness.Safe only for the moment, he was standing on the baldgranite crown of the hill, monitoring the night wind withhis nose and looking out across the dark, ahen countryaround him.

Five miles down the farm valley stretching southwardhe could see the clustered lights of the little town he hadjust fled from, and faintly he could hear the distant blareof the hated carnival show which had been lugging himabout the Midwest all that summer.

A cage door left unlatched for one careless moment—and he had been out like a tawny Hash and gone like atawny ghost.

After the endless months of being prisoner in the steel-wire cage, the ecstasy of freedom was running fiercely inhis lean, powerful body. After the fumes and smells of thehalf a hundred small towns that the carnival had visited,the clean, familiar scent of woods, rocks and earth washeady and exhilarating. And after the noisy, staring tentcrowds and the barker's "Hur-ree, hur-ree, hur-rce—Seethe fee-rr-ooo-cious, the one and only—Katokah the Killer—the Man-Eater Wolf," the night song of owl and katydid and the sough of wind in the cedars were sweet to hisears.

A mile back down the long timbered slope he could heara motley pack of farm dogs loud on his trail, as theyworked their way up through the scrub oaks and second-growth pines toward the rocky knob where he had hailed.The different-noted yaps, barks and baying told him thathis enemies numbered a good dozen. On his flight from thecarnival show and town, the dogs at the farmsteads he hadpassed had all been stirred to a frenzy by the dread wolfscent. None of them would have had the boldness to closein on him alone, but a pack had started collecting and hadgrown, and now they felt strong enough, a dozen to hisone, to give him battle.

In spite of the on-coming menace of collie, cur andhound, Katokah resolutely stood his ground on the pinnacle rock, sorting out the different odors on the wind fora clue to where he could turn, where he could find safehaven. But for a while his questing was fruitless andempty. Plain to his eyes and plainer still to his far-reach-ing, masterly nose, the country all around him was atamed and settled land, of towns and factory cities, ofplowland, dairy ranges and mining regions, with only afew scattered remnants of woods here and there on thehill chains. And nowhere the deep, sheU^ering. wiildernessthat he sought.

A silver tawny in color, with a sheen of dark on hisears and down his back, the young wolf stood nearly hip-high to a man, and for all his leanness he scaled over ahundred and twenty pounds. An expert on the wolf tribeswould have recognized him as coming from the northmostwoods and lower Barren Grounds of Keewatin, and wouldhave smiled at the barker s spiel and the garish postersdepicting Katokah as dangerous. For in all the history ofthat Hudson Bay country, from the fur voyageurs to theprospectors with Geiger and scintillator, not one of Ka-tokah's vanishing, man-shy breed had ever attacked ormenaced a human being.

As he stood there trying bewilderedly to orient himself,he was aware that somewhere under the stars and sliver ofmoon there was a land of summertime glistening lakes andperpetual sun, of bracing winter cold and endless leaguesof snow; and the want tugged at him to get back to thatland where he had been whelped and had lived for oneround of the seasons. But where that country lay and whatcourse would take him there—that he had not yet studiedout.

The memories that came flooding back, as he probedthe cool night wind drifting down across the latitudes,were a strange mixture of good and evil. Dimly he remembered the whelping den on a sunny, open ridge, hislitter mates, the parent wolves that brought meat to theirbairns and protected them from wolverine, fox and bear.And the evil day when the two parents lay dead in theEskimo grass from the "wolf bane" that a trapper had

sailed a caribou carcass with. And then his hungrywandering along that den ridge, slowly starving, his littermates perishing one by one, till a kindly prospector happened to hear his diminutive howling and came and captured him.

At the river-bank cabin the big prospector of the booming voice had "breathed on his nose" so that he would everafterward be tame and companionable, and had namedhim Katokah, the Swift One.

All his memories of that summer, fall and winter ofpartnership with the big hardrocker were pleasant andsunlit. But then again came evil days, just after the springbreak-up, when his master lay sick in the cabin and thetrapper visited there to cadge some "elementaries"—saltand flour, tea and tobacco—as he was all the time doing.Shrewdly calculating that Katokah's great size and thetricks he'd been taught made him more valuable than adozen wolf pelts and bounty ears.

There can be no pcace in ihc NearEast—and in the world—unless and

imlil the Arabs and the Israelis composetheir differences and reach a permanentsettlement."

That statement was made, with onlyslight modification in language, by six different delegations at tlie currcnt session ofthe United Nations. They obviously agreethat the problem is acute. There is not ageneral agreement on how it ought to besolved.

Our concern, here in the United States,is real. It is not just that a part of ourpopulation has a stake in Israel. It israther that our whole population has astake in world peace. Our inHuence willhave to come into play, perhaps decisively.For that reason it is wise for Americansto understand as fully as possible tlie nature of llic cronflict and the issues that areinvolved. To do ihis, it is necessary, first

TURKEY

CYPRUS

of all, to get tlie present strife into somesort of historical perspective.

This' is not too difficult. The story ofIsrael, and the Arab-Jew warfare, dividesreadily into three major phases. There isfirst, the period prior to the First "V 'orldWar. Second is the period between thewars when Palestine was a British mandate. Finally, there is the present andcontinuing period in which Israel is theproblem of the United Nations and of theworld.

For a number of centuries before theFirst World War Palestine was simplypart of the Ottoman Empire. It was ratherloosely misgoverned by a succession ofpashas installed by the Turkish Sultan. Itwas in no sense a "Jewislu state". TheJews, in their great dispersal (the Diaspora), had gone to all parts of the worldlong before this. A British official, in 1850,estimated that there were fewer than

IRAQ

50,000 Jews in Palestine. The first goodcensus, as late as 1922, showed the Jewishcommunity as only 84,000.

The country, however, had always beena matter of international concern. It wasthe "Holy Land", not merely for the Jewsbut for the Christians and Moslems aswell. It was the objective of crusades.Orders of knighthood put Jerusalem undertheir special protection. It was impossiblefor a "Westerner" to live there and unsafe

for him to travel there, but the interestremained.

This was changed, to some extent, earlyin the last century. An Albanian soldierof fortune, i\Iehmet Ali, had installed himself as the Pasha of Egypt and from thatposition he invaded and ruled Palestinein open revolt*d^ainst the Turks, to whomhe was nominally §\ibject. Under his ruleand that of his gifted son, Ibrahim, Palestine was opened up to the western world..The "holy places" were no lo'figer inaccessible. It \Yas evep safe,.to traVel.

flBritain was°tlft' firl\ to'respond. The firstBritish consul in Palestine was appointedand took his post in 1838. The French,Prussians and Russians were more cau

tious. They opened "their offices in neighboring Damascus. Thus Britain became,from very early, the spearhead of Westerninfluence and the spokesman for Westerninterests.

This was important. By 1850 there was astirring among the Arab population. Ittook the form of antagonism toward theJews, with stories of ritual murders, butit was also anti-Christian and anti-Western. It was British influence that protectedboth the Jews and the Christians and themovement died down.

In the second half of the century twoother factors came into play. The first wasthe beginning of "Zionism" as a worldwide movement, and the second was theGerman drive to the Middle East.

It is necessary to understand "Zionism"because so many of the things wrapped upin it have been confused by other issuesand, sometimes, by mistakes of the "Zionists" themselves.

The roots go deep in tradition and his

International News Photo

tory. This was the "Promised Land." Accordingly, there grew up a plan to returnto the shores of the eastern Mediterranean

some of those large numbers of Jews whohad long since been scattered all overthe world. The idea may not have beensound, politically. It had its drawbacks,economically. But religiously and emotionally it was irresistible.

The first Zionist colonies in Palestine

were set up in 1885. They flourished.These were dedicated settlers, much likethose who conquered the American wilderness. The fact that it could be done gavevitality to the Zionist movement all overthe world.

The German drive had quite differentorigins. Its object was to gain control ofthe Turks, and through them to get a highway to the Near and Far East. It had twoimmediate results. The first was to put theBritish into opposition against this expansionist movement and thus to make theMiddle East a battleground for the comingWorld War. The second was to bring abouta reorganization of the government ofPalestine, in which Britain had an interest.The Turks created the "Sanjak of Jerusalem", under a special regime. Because ofWestern pressure one of the importantobjectives in this move was to protect non-Moslems, that is, Christians as well asJews, in the administered area. The Germans, at this stage, wanted no part ofa "holy Avar."

Meanwhile, however, quite another element had come into the picture. This wasthe rise of Arab nationalism. It was di

rected originally against the Turks, notthe British or the Jews. The Arab stateshad had this loosely organized system ofpasha government, and their rulers haddone rather well under it. But in 1908 the"Young Turks" made themselves felt.They wanted a stronger, more unitary,state and the Germans egged them on.The Arab chiefs became restless.

It was into this situation that the British stepped, decisively. They backed the"nationalist", that is anti-Turkish, aims ofthe Arabs. In the celebrated McMahon-Hussein correspondence (1915-16), they

committed themselves to Arab aspirations.Then came the "Revolt in the Desert".

In 1918 General Allenby's forcesmarched into Jerusalem and Damascusand an era had ended. What to do withPalestine was a new problem.

Two big things happened. Great Britainwas commissioned by the League of Nations to take over the Palestine Mandate.

And meanwhile, the British Prime Minister, Lord Balfour, had formally declaredthat Palestine was to be a "national home

land" for the Jews.This "Balfour Declaration" is so impor

tant, and so often misquoted or misrepresented, that it should be seen in its entirety. Here is exactly what Lord Balfoursaid, in a formal letter to Baron de Rothschild, on Nov. 2,1917:

"I have much pleasure in conveying toyou, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirationswhich has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.

"His Majesty's Government views withfavour the establishment in Palestine ofa national homeland for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours tofacilitate the achievement of this object,it being clearly understood that nothingshall be done which may prejudice thecivil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or therights and political status enjoyed by Jewsin any other country."

At the time, and on the face of it, sucha declaration was unequivocal. The Zion-

For a reason^ Dan has

shot his last white

guinea hen in Cuba,

Guinea hens are African birds byancestry, and as far as I am con

cerned Africa is where ihey belong. Theirnatural range covers a large section of thedark conlinent where many of ihetn stillroam wild and free, just as they have forcenturies. Donicsticaled, they were firstbrought to Europe from the region ofWest Africa known as Guinea, hence thename. From what they tell me, this noisy,polka-dotted character seen wanderingaround American farmyards today is littledifferent from his country cousin still inthe African wilds. He is civilized, that'sall. and he likes it. He lias taken to eatingdoled-oul cracked corn instead of pilferedKaffir corn—or \\hatever a guinea hen eatsin Africa—and it agrees with him.

Introduced into the West Indices, it wasa dillerent story. .Maybe the Puerto Ricans,Haitians, C.ubans and the like, weren tso free with the cracked corn: or maybetiiere uas somelliing vaguely familiarabout Ihe deep forests of these semi-tropical islands—a message from thejungle in the warm night winds driftingdown from the dark hills—that awakenedan instinct out of the distant past.

and Sunday dinner; they took to the hills.In some of the more remote sections of

these islands I understand that the guineahens are as wild and primitive as theyever were on their native soil, and I alsounderstand that anyone who thinks hecan hunt them is welcome to try. I don'tknow much about this, hut I do knowsomething about them in a section of Cubawhere I spent a couple of winters. In fact,I know all about them—now.

This part of Cuba is rather intenselyfarmed and is divided into large plantations, or fincas, either growing sugar caneor pasturing Brahma beef cattle, but withscattered banana groves, vegetable gardensand, in the lowlands, rice fields. Here andthere, though, are small areas too rockyand hilly to be cleared, and these arc stillsmall islands of jungle.

Each plantation, it seems, has its guineahens, which band together in large flocks.These birds find refuge in the pockets ofjungle, coming out only in the evenings tofeed in the cane fields and gardens, andall such flocks are jealously guarded bythe individual plantation owners. When avisiting sportsman comes out from Havana,for instance, he is taken with great ceremony and hospitality to a rice field toshoot doves, or even into the pasturecountry to hunt quail, but he doesn'tbother the guinea hens. Cubans are enthusiastic hunters, and the plantationowner does shoot some of.his guineas occasionally. of course, but—although I soongathered that they are wary and provide afast and difTicult target—they are nothunted for sport. The guinea hen is thefinest eating of all fowl, and the hunt,

although admittedly fun,is strictly for the purposeof supplying the table.

I had heard a lot about

guinea-hen shooting, andI wanted to find out for

myself if it was as difficult as they said itwas. The first winter in Cuba I droppednumerous hints to that elTect, some ofthem fairly blunt. The family of our host'swife had a large finca nearby, and bydevious means I discovered also that the

finca harbored a nice bunch of guineas;still, my hints got me nowhere.

The following winter I took up where Ihad left off. Our host, Ernesto, spokeEnglish well enough, but one thing heobviously didn't know in English was howto issue an invitation to go guinea-henhunting. In any case, I discussed the subject so much that I soon knew all therewas to know about guinea hens in Cuba—I was sure of that—and all I wanted wasthe chance to demonstrate it.

About the time 1 had given up everseeing one of them over a shotgun, Ernestocalmly announced that my dad and 1 hadbeen asked to go with him to the finca thatevening to shoot guinea hens. The familywas making preparations for • a largedinner, he explained, and they wanted asmany birds as we could shoot. No liuntercould ask for a better order than that.

Ibis was the break 1 had been hopingfor. Cubans respect a good shot, and Iknew that if we made a good showing wewould be invited back to do our part forthe next family dinner.

DEVELOP ELKDOM'S RESOURCES"

pEBRUARY can be a power-packed month for every Elk. It is the' shortest month of the year, yet it includes the birthdays of GeorgeWashington, Abraham Lincoln, and the Benevolent and ProtectiveOrder of Elks. In addition to this historic triumvirate, February includes a gay festival of the heart—St. Valentine's Day.

Why then, commemorating our 89th anniversary, should we notstimulate our activities in behalf of the principles of our Order?

Thousands of fine American gentlemen, once members of our Order,were forced to demit because of circumstance. Many are to be admiredbecause in times of economic stress they placed family welfare aboveall else.

Elkdom believes in family preservation because without family ournation could not become the strong America we expect. But today manyof these same thousands would like to re-afTiliate. It remains only forus to invite them back to the warm fellowship of Elkdom.

I know of no finer birthday gift to Elkdom than the reinstatementof these splendid Americans.

The present Exalted Rulers have but two more months to contributeto their records. These remaining sixty days present a wonderful opportunity to bring former members back into the fold—a truly heartfeltaccomplishment in the Valentine month.

LET'S GIVE ELKDOM A LIVING PRESENT FOR HER 89ihBIRTHDAY!

More reinstatements in every Lodge.Deserved honor to Past Exalted Rulers.

Enthusiastic February Clinics.Participating Memberships in the '^Heart of Elktlom."ISew Lodges in every state.Increased leadership in community affairs.

^ith these gifts to Elkdom the future progress of our Order and ournation is assured for our Youth.

Very sincerely,

BY ROBERT TURNER LujDW>^They could have their title—their headlines—^and mosf of all. Buster McKoy

D\ THE third round Danny Shane had enough. He wished^ he could leave the premises. He wished he could gohome where it was peaceful and just sit awhile with Emilyand listen to his Fats Waller records or mayhe play a littlehot piano for her, himself. They could have their fightracket. They could have their welterweight championshipand the big money and the sports page headlines. He wouldgive it all to them.

But they wouldn't let him do that. Jingo Jones, hismanager, wouldn't let him. He just kept screaming: "Theright, Danny! What's the matter with you? What are youwaiting for? Hit him with it! Give him that sweet righthand!"

The blood-mad Arena crowd wouldn't let him. Theyjust kept screaming, period. Worst of all, Emily Allen wasagainst him. Her, sitting there in the second row, so blonde,so cute, so all het-up, yowling: ''Kill him, Danny! Don'tlet him do that to you! Go in there and fight him, Dannvboy!"

Buster M<Koy heard that. He got Danny into a clinchand said: "That's a great girl. She got a sensayuma. Killme, she says. With what? With kindness?" Buster grinned.

Buster McKoy was a good strong boy and one who enjoyed his work. He grinned all the time. He would havewhistled while he worked, except for the mouthpiececlenched between his teeth. Bus was conscientious. He usedevery trick in the book. He had a genteel way of pushinga thumb into Danny Shane's eye. He had a cement blockfor a skull and it kept coming ujj under Danny's chin in theclinches. He had a way with his elbows and a nasty habitof holding-and-hilting and he somehow made it all lookvery Marquis of Queensbury. Buster was an artisan athis trade.

Just ))efore the end of the third round, Buster caughtDanny with a looi)ing left across the chops and staggeredhim and sent Dannv's sweat flying over three rows. Dannydidn't like that one. It ])ut the pretty bells to ringing inhis ears. He covered and backed ofF, remembering hisArthur Murray, executing a di/.zy little step.

Danny held no malice tow ard Buster for that one, though.It was the cleanest punch he'd thrown. But Danny had beensurprised and ofTended. He had been insulted. It was likeBusier thuj-nbing his nose at Danny. Buster had deliberately

12

set himself and telegraphed the punch and left himselfwide open for a visit from Danny's famed right hand, hisSunday punch. No other fighter in his right mind had everdone that. It was supposed to be suicide. A move like theone Buster had just made had accounted for eighteen otherfighters, hitting the paraquet, lining themselves up onDanny's kayo record. Yet Buster McKoy must've seen thepictures of Danny's other fights. He knew about Danny'sright. It didn't make sense. . . . Unless Buster also knewthe other thing!

Danny didn't get much chance to ponder the matter. Achoir of voices was singing in Danny's ears. He leered at thethree Buster McKoys coming at him with milling arms andtried to pick the right one. He made a mistake. He got thewrong one. A sweat-soggy glove that closed his left eye andincreased the choir a thousandfold, told him that. He

reached out blindly and this time he made it and hung on.Buster larruped his kidneys with great zest and worked ina couple of rabbit punches before the ref pushed themapart. Then Buster caught him with a long, hard left to theheart and the bell rang for the end of the third.

The lights made a pretty pinwheel for Danny Shane.He sto9d with his long, lean legs aspraddle, peeringthrough the pinwheel, looking for Buster. Every once inawhile he pushed out a sluggish left glove, experimentally.The ref turned him toward his corner, said: "End of round.. . . You all right, kid?"

"Fine," Danny told him, moving to his corner with thestiff, awkward dignity of a drunk. "Jus' fine. Havin' awon-erful time. Wish you were here."

"What's the matter. Baby?" Jingo Jones demanded, tearsin his voice. "You don't fight. You stand there and let himhit you with everything but the ring posts. I told you. I toldyou, Baby, you can't box McKoy like you did those lasttwo palookas we take on. Buster likes dancing masters. Heeats fancy dans. You got to fight him, mix it. Like beforeyou were champ, Baby, like always before and you takehim, you win this one, too."

He couldn't argue. He looked up at Jingo Jones, balkingat the ammonia under his nose, wincing at the ice on thenape of his neck and the stab of astringents on his face cuts.He knew why Jingo was all upset. This was a big one forJingo.

Danny let his mind drift back to the night he'd met thetough little fight manager. It was in the place called"The Blue Flame", a Columbus Avenue jump joint. Astrictly cash-and-carry place. They got your cash and thenthey carried you out. Danny was working as bouncer anddoubling on the piano, between brawls. He wasn't much atthe keyboard, then. He could run off some rugged Dixieand slap out some Barrelhouse, but that was about all. Itwas a thing he loved, though, and he hoped someday to bereal good at it. Maybe make his living that way.

When Jingo Jones called him over to his table that night,Danny's heart went to the little guy right away. It was oneof those things. "Kid," Jingo said. "You play piano realnice. You likewise handle your mitts well. But you coulddo plenty better with both. I can't teach you no piano butI can show you how to make some dough with those dukes.

Maybe then you could pay to study up how to thump thoseivories with a touch more class, too. You got natural talentfor both things but they need some professional developing. How would you like to fight for me, Kid ? Professionally, I mean. For money?"

And that was the beginning.He looked up at Jingo, now, working over him here in

the corner. "Stop worrying about it, Boss," Danny said,"I'll take this guy. I know what I'm doing. Let me do itmy way."

"Your way ain't working so hot, Danny," Jingo said,sadly.

Danny focused his eyes bleakly across the ring at BusterMcKoy. He looked at Buster's big, flat head and remembered its boulder-hardness under his chin. He looked atBuster's hard, jutting cheekbones (Continued on page 39)

Harry Moberly, Chairman of No.67's Boy Scout Committee, presented tothe Troop a canoe paddle, the prize givenfor the Troop which had the best patrolat the Camporee.

TRAVE L

Our Caribbean islands offer a restful spot

for a vacation with a touch of early history,

BY HORACE SUTTON

The actual ESTABLISHMExXT onthe first of December, 1956, of the

Virgin Islands National Park, a Federalpreserve with the same standing as Yellowstone or Glacier, should serve notice onthe public that our Caribbean Islands arenot merely for the rich, the languorous, orthe divorcing. (There was a time whenSt. Thomas was a thriving divorce millwhere matrons could establish residenceand work up a suntan al the same time).

True, the Virgin Islands National Parkis limited to about two-thirds of the islandof St. John, the most remote and unspoiledof ihe three islands that we bought fromthe Danes in 1917 for 825,000,000. Whatvisitors will be able to do in this NationalPark is lie supine on virtually any one oftlie dozens of sugar-white beaches thatdecorate the island like fringe on a Victorian bedspread. He will be able to fishoffshore for baixacuda or sail or tarpon,to mcmtion merely a few varieties of the

game fish in waters surrounding the newpark. He will be able to revel in the foliage of a tropical botanical park growingau naturcl—mango trees, flamboyantsbursting into brilliant orange, turpentinetrees, silk cotton trees, bougainevilleagrowing as easy as crab grass in a subur-,ban garden.

In time the historical sights of St. Johnwill be as well marked as they now are inFederal preserves across the country. Andthere will be much to mark. For instance,in the days of the Danes, sugar plantations dotted the island. The slaves did thework with the Danes overseeing. The foreman blew a sort of reveille on a conchshell and the transplanted workers fromAfrica would filter into the fields beforedaylight had arrived. By nine they wouldbe allowed to fix their own breakfast inthe fields. Besides working for the ownersat no pay, they were required to raisetheir own crops for food, and when a crop

failed and the plantation owners refusedto spend money importing food fromSt. Thomas, the slaves revolted. Thatmarked the beginning of the end of theDanish sugar plantations in the Caribbeanand most of the big estates have beenall but overgrown since then. NationalPark visitors will find them now in a tangle of vines at the bottom of a valley,along a sandy beach, and near one ofthe resorts itself.

There are relics, loo, of earlier days—stone carvings of the ancient days of theIndians, Arawaks to be specific, who werelater vanquished by the more warlikeCaribs. Besides wrestling Arawaks, theCaribs were also fond of going to the mat,albeit a watery one, with local sharkswhich they attacked with wooden knives.The scene of much later history on thetiny island of St. John can be observedfrom Picture Point, an elevation in theBordeaux Mountains which looks down onthree hurricane holes where Sir FrancisDrake stashed his ships against the furyof the storms of that day.

In addition to the history there isplenty of place to enjoy the good life.For one thing, the Rockefellers, whobought the tract of St. John which they

ILLUSTRATED BY TOM HILL

turned back to the government as a National Park, have also spent millions rehabilitating Cancel Bay Plantation, whichoriginally was a retreat for employees ofthe Danish West Indies Company. It nowhas room for nearly a hundred peace-seeking citizens who live in seaside cottages a step from the water. The rates runin the mid-twenties per person per daywith meals included, of course.

The dining room is an open patio; fromtime to time there is music dished up bylocal calypso talent; but mostly there islittle to do at night save rest up from thestrenuousness of the day's activity. Thiscould include swimming from any one ofthe ten beaches, or sailing or power boating hither and yon to neighboring islands,both U.S. or British. Not quite as big asCancel Bay, and not quite as expensiveeither is Trunk Bay, a simple establishment on a seaside hillock overlooking oneof the best beaches in the Caribbean. Figure about S150 for two per week, whichincludes meals usually featuring a stronglocal accent—kingfish, hearts of palm,coconut shreddings, and that sort of thing.Housekeeping cottages are also availableat Gallows Point, a promontory operated

AN ''OPERATION EUROPP'

REPORT FOR THE

Elks National Service Commission.. ..

^ JU-- —^-Co

-V*-f

ON THIS page in your September issue, you read a story on Manny Wil

liams, the comic-magician who worked"The Hardship Circuit" in France andGermany on an entertainment tour of ourbases there, financed by your Service Commission. Manny has just turned over tothe Commission a highly interesting account of his travels in which he reveals that,after clearance, inoculations and passportswere taken care of, he and his wife leftfrom McGuire Air Force Base on a four-motor plane bound for Europe.

When they arrived in Rhine Main, Germany, a U. S. Air Force Base, they weremet by Sergeant Tomalko, who was theWilliams' guide, driver and interpreter forthe entire tour.- That evening was spentin Wiesbaden, and in the morning theymet Captain John Doherty and LieutenantFred P. Schmidt who briefed the Williamson their carefully planned itinerary.

yOur first show was at a hospital inWiesbaden, ' Manny reports, "and herewas brought home to me vividly the wonderful work the Elks are doing. Here wereboys, sick and injured, watching me, andas the show went on, their expressionschanged from sadness or resignation tosmiles and laughter." Audience participation is part of his act, and he took manyvolunteers from the audience to the stage,to the delight of both officers and men.

There followed a succession of one-night and afternoon stands at villages andhamlets, some so remote that they were

unknown to neighboring communities,Manny's report reveals, and whereverthere was a serviceman stationed where nodiversion was available, he brought themElk-sponsored magic-comedy.

This went on day after day, betweenFrance and Germany, and the enthusiasticreception accorded the travelers was morethan heart-warming.

'"It was interesting to see how Americanboys have made friends with the nativeelement everywhere," Manny comments.'"One part of our job was to cement goodrelations between our men and the inhabitants, and in furthering that noble purposewe always invited local residents, whereverpossible, to see the performance."

WILLIAMS cites as an example the incident at one of his stops located

near a German orphanage housing about50 boys. The youngsters accepted the invitation to see the show, and after cleaningout the mess hall to make room for them,and setting up chairs and benches, Mannyput on a special children's show. Theyoung guests were astounded, he reports,since they'd never seen any entertainmentof any sort, let alone an American magician, and our boys got a tremendous thrillwatching the children's reaction.

"Our boys have already established suchamicable relations with the natives thatour efforts were merely accumulative,"Williams states. "With few exceptions wewere greeted enthusiastically, and the ca-

A reproduction of the letter Manny Williamsreceived from Warren Spencer, an Americanserviceman In France, a few weeks after Manny,left foreground, and his wife, center foreground,returned to the States after their entertainment

tour of our European bases. The letter accompanied this snapshot, one of several taken bythe young soldier of the entertainer and hiswife, and some of the boys they visited.

Dear Mr. Williams,Hello there, how are you? I hope you and

your wife are fine as is the rest of our ganghere. At the present I have a slight cold.

I hope you remember us? We're located 40km. east of Metz. The name of the town here isLongeville Les St. Avoid. We all enjoyed yourshow very much and I hope we all here canmeet and see you again. We want to thank youand the U. S. Elks for sending you to us.

I hope this letter reaches you O.K. I havebeen very slow in sending these to you, I know.But actually, believe it or not, I just got theseprints a couple of weeks ago. I hope you willlike it as the rest never came out. Well, so longuntil we meet again.

I would like to hear from you if you have anytime to drop me a line. So long.

Sincerely,Warren Spencer

maradarie bet>\'een servicemen, the towns'inhabitants and ourselves formed a trian

gle of friendliness."Manny reports many interesting inci

dents, one in particular which occurred atone of his slops on the Russian-Germanborder, where sentries and guards practically facc each other. "This particularAmerican guard was amazed one morningto see Russian tanks, with guns pointedwestward and planes overhead, comingtoward the American lines. He immediately alerted the American contingent of fivemen, each of whom had orders as to howto proceed in this type of situation; theytook the prescribed steps and it was notlong after the incident occurred before allEurope was alerted.

"It turned out that this was only another cold-war maneuver, for the Russianswent directly to the edge of their line,stopped and turned about."

Following each performance, Mrs.W^illiams made an eilort to learn from

our men their names and home addresses.When they returned to the United States,they telephoned the families and friendsof as many of these men as they could.The gratitude expressed by these familieson liearing such first-hand news of theirboys overseas was one of the greatestthrills experienced by the comedian andhis wife when they returned after theirmonth-long journey under Elkdom's pledgeof remembrance.

Loyalty Is Uppermost toGoldfield, Nev., Elks

We are indebted to Grand ExaltedRuler Fred L. Bohn for letting us see thereport he received from Carl C. Merrill,his Deputy for the State of Nevada, concerning Goldfield Lodge No. 1072. It wasso interesting to us that we feel the storyshoud be passed along to the entire membership of the Order.

Mr. Merrill reports, with a population ofover 30,000. Twice this community hasbeen destroyed by fire, the last time inJuly, 1923, and its inhabitants now number only about 200. Mine production haspractically ceased, although one will reopen occasionally; as a matter of fact, amine is now being reactivated, and thecommunily lives in the hope that newmethods will once again make mining aprofitable enterprise there.

The members of Goldfield Lodge arewidely scattered, yet they continue tosupport the lodge in all its activities andrefuse to dimit to other lodges. This loyalty to No. 1072 was given evidence toD.D. Merrill when one lodge member andhis wife drove over 160 miles to lake partin his official visit to Goldfield, and several others traveled from 30 to 60 milesto be present on that occasion. The lodgehall in Goldfield is used by all churchesof the community, for most funerals andfor all occasions requiring quarters ofthat type, since it is the only hall that is

available for such purposes in Goldfield.Mr. Merrill states further that the

lodge's Inner Guard is 87 years old and itsSecy, and custodian is 78, but he "enviestheir vitality". The membership has fallenoff on the average of five or six membersa year, yet the lodge's financial statushas been increasing for several years. Itsincome is augmented by rental to the U. S.Postal Department, with the local Post

Office occupying part of the ground floor.Goldfield Lodge has the first Life Mem

bership card presented to its first ExaltedRuler, hand engraved on solid gold about1/32 of an inch thick; it also has a gold-inlaid ivory gavel that opened the GrandLodge Convention in Philadelphia in 1907which its members hope will be used toopen the Grand Lodge Session in SanFrancisco in 1957.

Tom Wrigley Writes from WASHINGTON

m

A DEFINITE CHANGE can now bediscerned in America's prepared

ness policy. We have the H bomb but weare going lo stop bragging about it.Chances are there will be very little testing of the horrible missile this year, if atall. The United States and Russia, whichhave the bomb, and other nations, too.realize that the price of another world waris now extinction. Scientists are agreedthat the use of giant H bombs, possessedby both nations, would release such quantities of radium-strontium as to imperilall mankind. Preparedness charts now areplacing more emphasis on guided missilesand in highly mobile engines of war,planes, tanks and subs. Uranium fission(atom bomb explosions) produce thedeadliest poison known to man—Stron-lium-90. Explosions of A and H bombsfrom 1952 to date, it is estimated, havecreated some 40 pounds of SR-90 which isfloating in the uppi-r atmosphere, the stratosphere above 50.000 feet. Only time willlessen its deadly effects.

ARMY RETIRES PIGEONS

The Army's signal corps pigeons, manyof them heroes of World War II and theKorean conflict, have been retired. Portable electronics made the birds obsolete.The Army likewise has gotten rid of camels (once used in the Southwest) mules

30

and cavalry horses. Only dogs survive thechange over. There were 1,000 pigeons inthe final closeout and they have gone lopigeon fanciers. Among the famous birdsare "Yank", who made 90 miles in 100minutes for General Patton in Europe, and"G.I. Joe", who covered 20 miles in 20minutes in Italy in World War II, to carryan order to cancel a bombing operation.In World War I, the Army had 20,000pigeons and one, "Cheri Ami", saved survivors of the Lost Battalion in 1918 bygetting a message 25 miles in 30 minutesthrough battle fire, telling a battery to liftits fire on a Yank position. The bird got awounded leg from a bullet during theflight. It was awarded the French Croixde Guerre and is now mounted in the National Museum here.

MEET A CALLIGRAPHER

Washington has a calligrapher, Mrs.Lawrence ImhofI, and she is perhaps thebest in her profession, for there are only afew who know the art of fancy penmanship nowadays. She is the wife of a former Ohio Congressman and since the daysof FDR has addressed invitations to WhiteHouse functions and between times takescare of big diplomatic social affairs. Mrs.ImhofF uses a special off-set pen to produce shaded scroll effects. If she works 15hours a day she can address 3,000 invitations. For the recent Presidential Inaugural Ball, Mrs. Imhoff addressed morethan /,500 invitations and everyone ofthem was perfect.

CANDIDATES WANTED

Congress in 1950 authorized a yearly"Young American Medal For Bravery."Last year no school, organization or parent nominated a candidate from the District of Columbia and Superintendent ofSchools Hobart M. Corning says it is"downright embarrassing." How aboutyour town?

NO COLD CURE

Scientists in Health and Welfare areworking constantly to find a vaccine tokill the virus of the common cold, sameas polio vaccine works on polio virus. Asyet there is no cure for a cold. Aspirinsand nose decongestants combat the symptoms. Those who take hot whisky, tea, andother things and in three days say theygave their colds a knockout arc simplybragging. The cold generally leaves in afew days anyway.

BIRDS GET THE BIRD

Chemists who invent sprays good (orbad) for man, beast, plants and trees, havegone a step further. A bird can't roost in atree without inspecting it first. In Washington the starlings have long been a pest

and among their favorite roosting placesare trees along Pennsylvania Ave. whereparades are held. So, to make the reviewing stands for the Inauguration Paradenice and safe, the trees were sprayed witha preparation. It is invisible, has no odorand isn't sticky. But it does have a secretingredient which birds don't like. So theyjust get a whiff of something only birdscan smell and off they go.

"MAMIE'S CABIN"

They call it "Mamie's Cabin" down atthe Augusta, Ga., National Golf Clubwhere the President and Mrs. Eisenhowerlike to sojourn, but don't let the namemislead you. The "cabin" is a three-storywhite brick and clapboard affair costing8200,000 and built by wealthy membersof the club. It has two living rooms, sixbedrooms, seven baths and some otherrooms. There is a big 27-inch TV setwhichrolls out of the wall. It has radiant heating and perfect air conditioning. For acabin it's a wow.

OLD GEORGETOWN RUMPUS

Old Georgetown has rigid regulationscovering remodeling of old houses to keepthem looking as though George Washington just slept there. The Fine Arts Commission has just raised a rumpus over amade-over Colonial house in which adouble window was built in a second-sloryfagade when the permit called for a singlewindow. It is hardly noticeable, but orderswere issued to change it. Our forefathersdidn't go for double windows, it seems.

An informative letter from Brother TomConnors was sent along to us after his recent trip to Mexico. Hereports, "'In Mexicoon route 75 from Saltillo to INIatehuala themap shows all-weather road.

visitors have to make their way to St.Thomas, which is a scant forty-minute airplane ride from San Juan, Puerto Rico.Compared to sleepy St. John, St. Thomasis a big town. The main street of town islined with an assortment of shops and ascattering of night clubs. The shops offerwatches from Switzerland, clocks fromGermany, prints from India, fine china-ware from Denmark, glass from Sweden,stainless steel and silver also from Scandinavia, gloves from trance, cashmeresweaters and jackets from Britain. All ofthis moves at free port prices, as does allsorts of liquor from around the world-Scotch whiskey at S2.50 a bottle is a fairindication of what to expect.

The situation in the Near East—Suez, thatis—has made quite a difference inthe comfort and ease of travelers to Europe thiswinter. No actual hardship, but considerable inconvenience. For example: gasolinein Italy is 85 cents agallon, gas is rationedin Britain. Scandinavia and the Low Countries French hotels will be chilly whereoil is short. Ski resorts in most cases havegood and ample fuel supplies and thereforenot much discomfort as far as heat is concerned. What the summer of 19^7 will offer the European tourist is anyone s guess.

As for hotels, St. Thomas has a hugeMiami-type establishment in the VirginIsle Hotel, which sits on a hilltop grandand imposing. On the opposite side of thetown is a smaller hotel known as Bluebeard's Castle, recently improved. Elsewhere there are any number of small guesthouses, among them Smith's Fancy, Hig-gin's Gate, and others where the fee is less,the house count considerably smaller,and the atmosphere, sort of posh boardinghouse.

In point of development and quiet, thethird island, St. Croix, is approximatelymidway between St. Thomas and St. John.It has an airport and is a stop on PanAmerican's run down the string of LesserAntilles. It has an inn called the Hotel-on-the-Cay, perched on an offshore island, a

ist movement for a national homeland had

oflicial approval, and it should be notedthat the word "national" was included.

The Zionists had reason to rejoice andthey did so.- More than that, they beganmoving persons into Palestine.

The Arab reaction, naturally, was hostile. In 1920 and 1921 there were seriousArab outbreaks against the Jews. Thesewere sternly put down by the British, butwithin a few years, 1929-30, they flaredagain with increased strength. By late in1938 the two communities were in a stateof virtual warfare. Arab violence diminished early in 1939, with the publicationof a British Wliite Paper that repudiatedthe idea of an independent Jewish stalein Palestine, but this was the signal forrenewed Jewish attacks upon the Arabs.The strife continued until the outbreak ofthe war late in tiie year.

In the reports of a succession of "commissions" the British sought to clarifytheir mandate position and to meet someof the demands of each of the communities. These were not successful. First, theytried to explain that the Balfour Declaration really referred, not to a political, butto a "cultural" homeland for the Jews.This was indignantly repudiated by theZionists, who pointed to Lord Balfour'suse of the word "national". By this lime,moreover, the Zionists had set up a strongadministrative international arm in TheJewish Agency. Their position was nolonger weak.

The Problem ExtendsThen, because the real reason for Arab

uneasiness was ihe increase in Jewish immigration, the British tried tocarry out thedoctrine of economic "absorptive capacity"as ihe yardstick for determining iiow manyJews could be admitted to Palestine. Thisalso failed, for two reasons. The new Zionist colonies in Palestine were flourishingand they iiad an "absorptive capacity"that was beyond the worst fears of theArabs. In addition, the rise of Hitler inGermany and his fearful persecution ofthe Jews made the Jews not merely economic but moral refugees. That a place ofsafety could be denied to them on a basisof some formula was an idea that was soshocking that Britain had to abandon it.By 1937 Britain gave up the idea of "absorptive capacity • and proposed an arbitrary limit of Jewish immigration for fiveyears, after which further entry was to besubject to Arab consent. Ihis, also, wouldhave been morally intolerable without theaccompanying recommendation for thepermanent partition of Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states. This wasflatly rejected by the Arabs, accepted withsome important qualifications by the Jewsand eventually discarded by the Leagueof Nations, to which the recommendationhad been made. Violence continued.

With the outbreak of the war in 1939there was a real lru<'e liehveon Jrw< and

A TIMELY WARNING FROM FRED L. BOHNDear Exalted Ruler:

Communism always has put major emphasis on the subversion ofyouth as a means to world conquest. The "World Federation of Democratic Youth" is the name of the Soviet front organization through whichthe Kremlin has intensified its efforts to capture young minds throughout the world in the post-war period. Recently, this misnamed outfit invited youth of all countries to attend the "Sixth Annual Festival ofYouth and Students" in Moscow July 28 to August 11 of this year.

The editorial entitled "The Communist Trap", in the December issueof The Elks Magazine, and the article entitled "Freedom's Facts HowCommunists Exploit World's Youth", on page 46 of the same issue, gavetimely warning that this "festival" is just another propaganda device toexploit and subvert young and impressionable minds in order to pusthe world along the road to Red slavery. The communists hope to attractyouth from every country—and especially the United States to increasethe propaganda value of the "festival". To this end, they have blandlybilled it as "non-political" and larded their announcements with suchphrases as "mutual respect and understanding", and the spirit ofriendship".

To help lure unsuspecting youth to Moscow, the communists ofter topay the expenses of any youngster who can't afford the trip to t e s avecapital of the world. This in itself is a sufficient tip-off to the real purpose behind the "festival". • j u H

Arabs. Both Jewish and Arab formationsfought with the British forces and did well.The external threat to both was clearly tobe seen.

When the tide began to turn in favor ofthe Allies, however, disorder was renewedin Palestine. But this time there was adifference; the Arabs were neither the attackers nor the target. The attackers wereirresponsible elements among the Jews

34

and the target was Britain. Throughout1944 and 1945 there was a succession ofterrorist outrages, led in part by the notorious "Stern Gang", and there were anti-British demonstrations and attacks by the"action"group of the Zionists, Irgun ZweiLeumi, and even by the more reputabledefense force, Haganah.

Responsible Jewish officials condemnedsuch acts but could not stop them. Brit

ain's attempts to enforce limitations onimmigration, and especially illegal immigration, simply added fuel to the fire.The Arabs, at this stage, were not involvedin acts of violence, but the Arab statesunited, in 1945, in putting a boycott onJewish-made goods in the hope of puttingeconomic pressure upon the Jews in Palestine.

In 1946 there was a concerted Britishand American effort to solve some of theproblems. A joint commission rejectedthe idea of partition, urged relaxed immi-gration and proposed a continuing trusteeship under the United Nations. This wasnot accepted. The London Conference ofSeptember, 1946, failed.

Britain made a final effort. In I947 the"last" proposals were made: a long-raneeplan, a federal Jewish-Arab state andcontinued trusteeship. This was reiect^^by Jews and Arabs alike. On Feb igBritain declared the views of the Jews andthe Arabs to be "irreconcilable", termedthe mandate "unworkable", announcedher intention to withdraw from Palestineas soon as possible, and referred the whol.problem to the United Nations. Anothe*^era had ended.

The VIS Phase, and ]\oivThe problems were not solved. The tr

ble, real trouble, was just slartinestillwith us. _ •

Aspecial session of the General Asbly was immediately called (Aprir^1947) and the case was also referr^ 1 'the Security Council. A "special cnmtee" was set up. After four monthssented a partition plan, but with anomic union, that was prompilyby the Arab League. This plan,was subsequently endorsed (the33-13) by the General Assembly^Arab delegations from six slates wincensed that they staged onefamous "walkouts". The Trusteeshin pcil, however, was instructed toworking group to put the plan into o^^ ^tion. Pera-

Actually, it wasn't so bad. It woulH ugiven the Arabs most of the south of P7estine and an important sectioneast. Jerusalem was to be minternationalized. The plan miehfworked with sufficient confidence 1sides. It is interesting and signified".some of the Arab delegations ? 1^^United Nations are now insisting"settlement" must go back to the^ io?-proposals.

The immediate effect, howevf-rflammatory. Within two days Ar'abattacks upon the Jews began Witi • •weeks there was an armed invasion'fromSyria and fighting continued throuaho„>Fel^ruary of 1948. The Unitedwas inlormed, from both sides, that itcould not enforce a partition by militaryforce. ^

The Security Council adopted a resolution calling for a cease-fire and set up a"truce commission". The Arabs agreed toa cease-fire in Jerusalem itself, but else-

where the truce was not effective and theJewish forces continued to show increasing military strength.

.Then came a decisive turning point. TheBritish announced the end of the mandateas of May 15 and began to speed theirwithdrawal. The Jews responded with theproclamation of a Jewish state in Palestine, to be known as Israel, and set up aprovisional government under the leadership of David Ben Gurion. A few hoursbefore the final British withdrawal theUnited States recognized this governmentas the "de facto authority" in the ''State ofIsrael". A year later this state was formally admitted to the United Nations.

The effect on the Arab world was explosive. On the very day that the mandateended a concerted attack began. Egyptianplanes bombed Tel Aviv. Syria and Lebanon attacked in the north. Tliere were evensome Iraqi troops involved. The Jordanian Arab Legion, British-led, stood firm inthe east. (It was the only Arab fightingforce that showed first class discipline under fire.

The rest of the year was taken up witha succession of temporary "cease-fires",promoted by the United Nations, and renewed outbreaks of hostilities. CountFolke Bernadotte, of Sweden, was sent tothe scene as ''mediator , and was assassinated by Jewish terrorists. He was succeeded by Ralph Bunche, of the UnitedStates, who gradually worked out an armistice formula.

In the first half of 1949 Israel signedtruce agreements with Lebanon, Jordanand Syria. The later "armistice" agreement with respcct to Lgypt continued intoforce, but a real peace even to this dayhas not been made; far from it.

New Populdii^on CreatedThe political questions were scarcely

approached, much less solved, and theywere enormously complicated by tlie factthat the fighting had created an entirelynew population groups the Arab Refugees", who subsequently came to numbermore than 900,000. These persons (andtheir proliferating descendants) wereArabs who fled from Palestinian homesbecause of the figliting. Many were concentrated in the "Gaza Strip on the Mediterranean. More went to Jordan. Somewent to Syria. They still constitute one ofthe most complex and difficult economicand political problems in the whole situation.

A further, and highly significant factor,was the demonstration of the efi^ectivcnessof the Israeli fighting force. The Israeliswere nominally—and potentially—outnumbered at least ten to one. But theydidn't lose in the field. Because of superiororganization, training and discipline, plussome arms smuggled in from EasternEurope, they defeated the Arabs, againand again. This obviously increased Arabapprehension about the newly-risen state.Israel was not only viable, it was potentially strong. The Arabs were worried.

"Monitor" Runs Comprehensive Article on BPOEUnder the heading "Millions for Benev

olence", a most comprehensivelightening article about theappeared in the November 23rd issue of"The Christian Science Monitor', occupying the lead page of the Second Section.The article was written by Max K. l^ii-strap. Chief of the "Monitors' CentralNews Bureau.

"More and more, the warm humani-tarianism of the Benevolentand ProtectiveOrder of Elks of the U. S. A. is becomingrecognized in its youth and old age orprograms tjiat go beyond the social iea-tures of the organization", the sub-title olthe article stated. Basically that was thetheme of the "Monitors" article, althoughthere was considerable historical background about Elkdom included.

Mr. Gilstrap particularly drew attentionto the work of the Elks National Foundation, tiie Elks National Servicesion. the ftfemorial Building in Chica^and the Elks National Home at Bedford.

The manner in which I\Ir. Gilstrap s article reflected the spirit of Elkdom wastruly gratifying. "Membership in the Elksbuys nothing but a card that will admita member in good standing to any lodge,he wrote.

* * *

These are the cold historical facts. Now,what are the warm human feelings that liebehind them? History is made up of ideasas well as of dales. What complicates thissituation? Why can't we get a workablesolution? Here, again, there are three major factors: the rise of a Jewish state; theemergence of Arab nationalism; the greatimpact of West upon East. Let's look atthem. •

Rise of a Jewish StateZionism was originally a religious con

cept. After the Balfour Declaration it became a political concept. In the 1930's itbecame a practical concept. It was possible to create a physical and political"homeland" for the Jews.

The immigration figures tell their ownstory. In less than fifteen years (1922-1936) the Jews came up from less than13 per cent of the population to more than30 per cent. At the time of the BalfourDeclaration there were not as many as100,000 Jews in Palestine. Today thereare more than a million. They have comefrom all over the world but, because ofHitler's persecution and subsequent Sovietpressure, most of them were European inorigin. This has lately been changed andat the present time a slight majority ofthe Jewish population in Israel is of non-European origin.

These immigrants were no ordinary"refugees". They brought a concentrationof skills into the development of a newcountry that has rarely been seen in history. Their ability, and their devotion,assured from the start that the projectwould not fail.

It is well to remember, however, thatthey had massive outside assistance. Thisis the sorest spot with the Arabs. It is impossible to escape the figures and theyhave been trumpeted throughout the Arabworld.

From 1947 to the end of 1955 theIsraelis had received at least §2,000,000,-000 in external assistance. Direct UnitedStates Government aid accounted for only$367,000,000, and this compared not loounfavorably with the §163,000,000 lhathad been granted to the Arab slates. Butthis was only a start. There was an Export-Import Bank loan (§135,000,000); iherewere bond sales in the United Stales($227,000,000); there was United JewishAppeal ($360,000,000); there was WestGerman reparation ($160,000,000); andon top of all these were gifls and investments from foreign sources that reached atotal of $886,000,000. There were no suchgifts for the Arabs.

They were not merely chagrined. Theywere alarmed. And they had a right to be.

There was still more to fear. Early in

its existence this new nation of Israel hadunanimously adopted and proclaimed the"Law of the Return." This granted and affirmed the right of every Jew, anj^vhere inthe world, to immigrate to Israel. In oneyear, 1949, almost a quarter of a millioncame in. In Arab eyes this was a tidalwave.

More than that, this Jewish community,in contrast to its Arab neighbors, was beginning to prosper. Those skills were paying dividends. As early as 1946, when theJews were less than a third of the population they were paying two-thirds of thetaxes. They bought land from the Arabsand used it well. They were spreading.

This very success had a two-fold effect.It increased, enormously, the self-confi-dence of the Jews. They were no longerunder-dogs. One sympathetic obser\'er inthe United Nations even called them"cocky". On the other hand, it multipliedthe determination of the Arabs to be ridof this intruding state, by one means oranother. The rise of Israel was dramatic,and historic, but it didn't solve the problems.

Rise of Arab ISationalismAs has been noted, the first stirrings of

Arab nationalism were anti-Turkish inorigin. This was not a "popular" movement, in our sense of the word, but anupper-class movement. Unfortunately, thisis still largely the case. The targets haveshifted from time to time. The return of

i« ^ %

Turkish rule was always a menace, but inEgypt it was Britain that was the opponent; in Syria and Lebanon it was France.Now it is Israel. At no time, however,was nationalism the product of a drive forgood government as well as self-government. Its rise is still essentially a political,not a social, upheaval.

It obtained international stature bythe formation of the Arab League at theend of the war. Its Charter was signed onMarch 22, 1945, and the signatories wereEgypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabiaand Transjordan (now Jordan). Everyone of these, it will be observed, had become newly independent, although Egypt,leader of the group, had actually comefurther than the others. Yemen, a latermember, and Jordan were not regarded assufficiently self-governing to be represented at the formation of the United Nations. Both were subsequently recognizedas independent and admitted.

It is important to note, at this point,lhat this was an "Arab" League and nota "Moslem" league. Its foundation is notreligious, although occasionally some irresponsible Arabs have tried to make it so.The two most important Moslem states,Turkey and Pakistan, want no part of theArab League. Iran, with a majority Moslem population, is not a member. Iraq hasbeen a thorn in the side of the Arabs because of its alliance with the West in theBaghdad Pact.

This is vital because the contest between

Arabs and Jews is nol essentially religious.It is political and economic. The attemptsto preach "holy war" by some Arab firebrands have been rightly and generallydenounced in many parts of the Moslemworld.

Arab nationalism, and nationalist self-consciousness, are, however, becomingmore important every day. When ColonelNasser declaims about a great ArabEmpire" he strikes responsive chords. Atthe moment, the largest single obstacle tosuch a conquest is not the remnant of aWestern "colonialism"—although that isalways a convenient whipping-boy—butthe rise of a new non-Arab, and basicallyWestern state, Israel, on what has alwaysbeen held by the Arabs to be their ownland. Arab nationalism thus has a Iresh,and formidable, foe.

West Against EastHere we come to the very ^e^rt of the

conflict. In spite of the recent slight shittin population majority, Israel is essentially "Western." Its leaders, and some of itsbest pioneers, have deep roots in European—and American—culture. The t^hniquesof development are those of the West, notthe East. And the money that has madethe application of those techniques pos-sible is Western money. Without that support it is at least questionable if thiscommunity could survive. It would not

^°In spite of the influx of Western capitaland skill in developing the oil resourcesof the Middle East most of those methodsand techniques that ^monplace in Israel are alien ™world. This isa new impact, on the down-to-the-desert" level. .

Standards of living, social organization,community responsibility, are far belowdecent human standards in every one olthe Arab states. Those things are beingchanged for the better in Israel, but thechange has come too rapidly to contributeto the Arab peace of mind. It isIv a political order that has been shaken,it is a social order. To put it simply, theTwentieth Century has moved in on theFourteenth.

This is not to say that there are notmany of the Arab leaders who desire the

greatest possible advancement for theircountries. It is not just "progress" against"reaction". But it is a difference in timing and it is a conflict in philosophy aswell as force.

What Can Be Done?The long-range problem will not be

solved easily. The person who has a patanswer is a propagandist. There are, however, some immediate things that can andmust be done.

First, the United Nations must assumethe responsibility for establishing and effectively patrolling any boundaries thatcan be set. The "incidents" must come toan end, since they cannot make any possible contribution to a final solution.

Second, the United Nations and itsmembers must take far more sweeping andeffective steps to provide for the resettlement of the "refugees". They constitute acontinuous emotional overtone that candrown out the voice of reason. Notmerelyon humanitarian, but on practical, groundsthis problem must be met squarely andsolved.

Third, there must be a concerted effort,in the United Nations and elsewhere, topromote the regional development of theentire area. This was the reason for thebasic plan of the Jordan River develop,ment that would have helped Syria andLebanon as well as Jordan and IsraelThis plan was opposed in part by Syriiiand blocked in the United Nations by theSoviet Union, but it should not be abandoned. More than that, other and moreambitious plans should be added.

Those same skills that have made thegrowth of Israel possible should be anplied, also, to making the life of the Arab^^more fruitful. In this way Israel can become the friend and helper, not the menace.

Finally, it should be obvious that theUnited Nations, and the United States^will be obliged to tell the Soviet Union tokeep its hands off this area. Its purposeis strife; our purpose is peace.

This is the basic problem. Its solutionwill require patience, skill and imaeination. It will also require firmness of resolution. The free world need not be deficient in those qualities.

You know that.I did it because this meatball is made toorder for you if you slug it out with him.The way you can counter. But you can'toutpoint him. He's proved that. You gotto—

The warning buzzer cut Jingo off andhe and Danny's handlers scrambled outof the ring. "Don't worry," Danny toldhim. "Everything's under control." Hemeant that. He felt better now. He'd goout there and make a chump out of thisMcKoy. Just for Jingo. It would be pie.It would be a pleasure to show them allhe didn't have to be a barroom brawlerand go busting his hands on this cinder-block-head they were feeding him.

Buster McKoy didn't feel that way aboutit. The Buster came at him carelesslywide open, grinning, showing part ofhis mouthpiece, inviting Danny to hit him.Danny took the invitation and flickedout a stinging left. Buster brushed it offlike a cow switching its tail at a fly.Buster kept coming in at him, crowding,that left not bothering him because therewas nothing much to Danny's left. It wasjust a garden variety left hand punchwith little poison in it. It had always beenused just to set up a situation for Danny'sright. For that reason other fighters hadalways kept away from it—but not BusterMcKoy.

Danny got on his velocipede backward

and began to peddle away, and Busterloved that. He kept stalking Danny, getting ever closer. A ring is not a largeplace. You can't stay away from a manforever. Especially using one hand. Afterawhile Buster caught him. He cannon-balled a left and a right and another left.Danny took the first two on his elbow andshoulder. He took the third one on hisnose and he felt it spread like an omeletteacross his face. Danny's eyes filled andhis throat and his mouth held the saltytaste of blood. Danny got mad. He hadliked that nose. It was the only one hehad. It was a nice nose. Emily had toldhim so. It wasn't nice any more, he couldtell.

Danny charged like a red-flagged bull,a snarling noise coming from his chest.He caught Buster with a left hook to themiddle and feinted and then lanced a leftjab to the face, staggering Buster, gettinghim on his heels, setting him up. Thenhe cut out with the right, the DannyShane right, the one Jingo called "thecandle punch"—one blow and you're outlike a light. It made a whistling noise butDanny was crazy and his timing was off.It had been so long since he'd tossed thatright. It just skinned across the side ofBuster's skull, taking some hair and somescalp with it.

The crowd came up from their seatsand their cry was one thunder-rumble ofsound. This was what they wanted. Thiswas what they'd paid to see. But then thenoise faded because Danny Shane didn'tfollow through. The anger let out ofhim and he pulled that right back asthought it had been burned. He didn't uncork it again.

Some of the color came back to BusterMcKoy's face. Some of the horror wentout of his eyes. He lost his momentaryhesitancy. He went to grinning again andmoving in. He watched Danny smearblood from his nose and his mouth andtry to circle away. Buster came in witha rush and tied Danny's arms. Buster'shead came up under Danny's chin andthis time the choir in Danny's ears hadorgan accompaniment. It was like in a

Elk Leader in Philippines Passes Away

On November 6,1956, Thomas J. WoliT,designated in the leading newspaper ofManila as an "American. Old Timer andformer civic and business figure", died atthe University of Santo Tomas Hospital inthat city, at the age of 76.

For many years he had carried on abrave and running fight with cancer, beingoperated on eight times.

Tom Wolff had led an adventurous and

sad movie and Danny enjoyed it. ThenBuster stepped on Danny's toes andstopped his retreat. He sunk a piston-drive right into the pit of Danny's brisketwith all the power in his bull-shoulderedbody. The music left Danny's ears andthere was just a headache and an illnessof the stomach.

Danny remembered again the thingthat had happened to his nose, and all-the indignities suffered this night at theclubbing hands of Buster McKoy piledup inside of him. He thought about allof Jingo Jones's money riding on thisfight. He felt terrible frustration because Buster refused to play it right, playit his way, and let Danny oujpoint himand thus save his right hand, like withthe other two boys who'd tried to takethe title this year. Danny got mad again.But not all-out. He didn't go crazy likethe last time.

Buster was a little careless now. Hewas overconfident. He thought Dannywas farther gone than he was. He allowedDanny to drop his left to the floor andhring it up in a terrible gas-house-gangswing. Buster managed to get his jaw outof the way in time, and that saved him.It didn't save Danny. The haymakerlanded above Buster's ear and there wasno harder part of his cranium. Danny felta tongue of lightning pain lick up hisleft arm to the shoulder. He let out acry, but it was drowned in tJie crowd roarand Buster's oaths.

But Buster wasn't angry. He was curs-

very successful life. Leaving his home inan eastern state while still in his teens,he had thrilling experiences at sea and inSouth America where he participated insome of the turbulent affairs that fromtime to time occur there.

In 1898 he reached Manila with theUnitedStates Army and remained there tobecome a leader in the business, civic andfraternal life of the community.

He was generally known as the ' Fatherof the Elks" in the Philippines. He wasExalted Ruler of Manila Lodge and twiceserved as District Deputy for the Districtof the Philippines and Guam.

He was the founder of T. J. Wolff andCompany, a radio import corporati^,and had extensive mining interests. Hefounded the first steam laundry m thePhilippines. Among the many businessactivities in which he engaged and whichhe operated successfully were copra andcoconut oil businesses and ha was also apartner in a Philippine embroidery concern. . r

For many years he was Chairman oi theExecutive Committee of theRed Cross in the Philippines. When hiswife and he were interned for two yearsby the Japanese, his experience as arepresentative of the Red Cross and h.squalities of leadership gave h.m an oppor-

ing with glee. He was shaking his head,ing wiu fe _ richt, lover,approvmgly, saying: Ih^s rig ,hit me! Hit me again! ^ou ve gsoft hands with milk in the bones so theybreak easy. Especially that nght. ^^Socome on and hit me again, o y,it. Bust both those prettyhave one less piano player m the worThat's fine with me.' .

Alook of horror ' erorin Danny's face. Buster did know. He orTomeone'in his ean,p had "'fdJthe pictures of Danny's last couple oifights. They figured for ^wouldn't dare unleash that nght hand.

Danny covered up and b«ck-pedaledaway, Buster coming relentlessly afterhim, his grin like agargoyle s mask. Danny could hardly hold up his le t hand.That one was gone now, too. He knew it.Through the pain impulses needlmg hisbrain he remembered after the SailorMorris fight when the doc had set thebones in his right hand. "It may be ailright," the doc said. '"But it's a badbreak." He remembered when they tookthe cast off and the doc had said, "It'sbetter than ever. But don't hit any brickwalls with it. Another break in the sameplace and you won't even thump anotherpiano keyboard, Danny." The doc hadsaid it laughingly, but Danny went green.

He never told anybody, not Emily, notJingo, even, to whom he owed so much,but that was when Danny Shane becamea ballet boxer. He knew he was clever andfast in the feet and he'd gotten away with

tunity of securing many conveniences andcomforts for the unfortunate internees ofthe Japanese occupation of the Philippinesthat otherwise would not have been obtained.

When the victorious forces of GeneralDouglas MacArthur returned to the Philip,pines and freed the capital early in 1945the Order of Elks appropriated $100,000from its War Funds to provide food, clothing, medicine and financial assistance tothe hapless victims of the Japanese occupation.

Investigation determined that TomWolff was the best man to head a ReliefCommittee in Manila and funds wereplaced at his disposal. He was wellequipped by experience and knowledgeto carry out this assignment and he peformed valiant work under difficult con'ditions.

Later, when money was advanced hthe Grand Lodge to assist in the rebu'l/ing of the home of Manila Lodge, it ^Brother Wolff who was selected to'hathe funds and again his loyalty, his f^ fity to the Order and his business exnence and good judgment assured thocessof this undertaking.

But now there was Buster McKhad seen how things were, fromginning. Even if he hadn't, it mi hhave worked, because as Jineo ^ iBuster ate dancing masters. A 'ithere was a broken left hand n]right he was afraid to use anrione left nothing. He had nothingwith against Buster. It Would noi i?

^ oe longnow.

Danny gnawed on his mouthpiece jtried not to move his left hand. Hsome quicksilver into his feet fomoments and stayed away from BiLt Ta temporary lull in the crowd noise, thenhe heard Jingo Jones yelling to t .1 r'ficials: "Stop it, I tell you! The kid-« uhis hand. He's busted a paw aea'in Ttell. Stop the fight." ^ ^

Buster and Danny looked at the r fand he came toward them. And Danlooked at Jingo Jones, gratefully andsaw the little guy's ugly, pug-nosed facetwisted and creased into a delta map ofemotion and a couple of tears bumpingover it. Jingo was willing to give up everything, the fortune he'd bet, the titlechampionship, because his boy, Danny,was hurl, might ruin his hand forever!That was Jingo Jones.

Jingo who had taken a big, dopey kid

out of a crumbjoint like the "Blue Flame"and built him slowly, surely, with lovingcare and lots of money spent, into a manwith a name and a fortune. Jingo, whohad paid for Danny's piano lessons, too,all the while he was learning to fight.And when Danny spent all his off hourspractising. Jingo never once laughed atthe pug who wanted to make like Duchin.How many fight managers, how manyfriends, do you find like that?

He'd told Danny: "It's a good thingkid. You can't fight forever. This way,whenever you're ready to pack it in, you'llbe as good at the Eighty-Eight as you areat fighting. With your name, you can gointo the bigtime band business with yourown outfit."

All this Jingo had done for him. Andnow Danny was all ready and willing tolet the little guy make this last, bigsacrifice for him. He told himself therewas nothing doing. It was time to stoptaking from Jingo and give a little. Hewould go on with this if it killed him.What was a hand compared to a guy likeJingo Jones?

Danny shook his head savagely at theref and the other officials. He half criedit out: ''I'm all right! Don't pay any attention to him. He's crazy. My hand's allright, I tell you!"

He figured the left hand was gone now,anyho%v. That couldn't get much worse.He could still try to outbox the Busterand with a few lucky leprechauns perchedon his shoulder, maybe pile up enoughpoints to cop the decision the rest of therounds.

He settled back once more to meetBuster McKoy. He danced away for afew seconds, fending oif Buster's savageattack with his gloves and elbows andshoulders, twisting, rolling with thepunches. Then one of Buster's blowsbounced off his bad left hand and he instinctively winced with the pain, eased itaway. That was it. Buster came in allover him.

Danny remembered when he was a kid,once, and an enemy gang had caught himcoming home from school alone in thewinter. There had been a dozen of themand they had about a hundred snowballseach, all iced and ready. They got himcornered and it rained snowballs and theyhit him from everywhere and he couldn'tget away from them. It was like that now.Only the snowballs were immense andbrown and soggy. He held up his handsagainst Buster's avalanche attack as longas he could, then they dropped. Buster caught him flush on the hinge of thejaw. Danny took olT into blackncss. . . .

IT WAS along tunnel and dark as midnight. It kept spiraling and Danny was

running along it, through the blackness,staggering against the way it spun, andthen all of a sudden he would come outof it into blinding light and hit a greatwhite wall of canvas and bounce righthack into the dark, spiraling tunnel. Hekept doing that.

Finally Danny got smart. He stoppedrunning. This time when he came out intothe bright light and up against the whitecanvas, he went up to it slowly andpushed at it firmly with his hands and itsort of moved back away from him, so hekept on pushing. That was how DannyShane got to his knees. He heard someone saying: "—seven—eight—"

Danny mumbled: "Eight? Eightwhat?"

Then the voice said: "—nine—" andDanny got it. He'd been knocked down.He'd caught a wallop on the whiskers.Some other places, too, the way his nosefelt and his insides. Well, that was whathe was getting paid for. He suddenlyrealized that the count had stopped. Hewas on his feet and there was the refwiping resin from his gloves and therewas the ring and the lights and somebohunk in purple trunks in a neutral corner, all going around in a pretty littlekaleidoscopic pattern. There was a greatrumbling like a waterfall in a cave andthat was the crowd.

Danny got into a crouch and flicked outhis left, shaking his head, trying to clearit. He wasn't hurt badly, he knew. Just alittle ache here, a little pain there anda fuzziness in the skull. He wondered whythe other guy didn t come on and get it.He wondered vaguely who the bum wasand what round it was and how long before this would be all over and he couldgo to a club somewhere and play somepiano for him and Emily.

Somebody was coming toward him andDanny saw the purple trunks and the blurabove them. He lashed out with the leftand felt something hit him in the face atthe same time, but he didn't pay any attention. His left snaked out again. Hecould tell by the give when it landed thatthis was the moment and instinct tookover. He threw the right. It jarred hiswhole body. He waited but the blurredthing was still there, clawing at him, tr)'-ing to hold onto him.

He shook it off, backed away and madewith the left and the right again. Thistime the blur disappeared from his rangeof vision. The waterfall sounded swell sothat it hurt his ears. Someone came overand lifted up liis arm. There were a lotof people all around him and flash bulbswere popping. Someone stuck a mike before his face. He mumbled some kind ofanswers to the frenzied questions andthen he was in the dressing room.

The fuzziness faded. Danny lookeddown and felt a great and stabbing pain.Someone said: "Easy, Danny!" It was adoc and he was cutting ofl one of Danny sgloves and the bandages on his hands.The pain got very bad and Danny madesotfie garbled sounds and remembered itall, about Buster McKoy and Buster'shead, the hand he'd broken against itand hitting that same head with his rightafter that—twice, at least.

He managed to open his eyes and lookdown as ihey look off the other glove, theright one. He saw that there was no

at the Altar", that appeared in the September issue, from time to time questionshad been raised as to the propriety of placing the American Flag over the altar, eventhough no organization has consistentlyregarded the flag with greater reverencethan the BPOE.

On recommendation of the Committeeon Judiciary that action be taken, the matter was referred to the Ritualistic Committee, which recommended that the flagbe carried in a staff. This report was presented to the Grand Lodge at the Convention in Chicago last July and wasadopted unanimously.

In view of the importance of this decision and the opportunity it afforded toprepare an idealized painting that wouldremind all members of the Order of thenew arrangement of the flag at the altarThe Elks Magazine is particularly pleasedto publish this cover for the month ofFebruary—the month in 1868 that theOrder was born.

guage as an American barnyard guineaAs they commenced to stir around on thehillside above us, we could hear their incessant, "'potrack, potrack, poirack" Itwas too much for me. I put up with it forawhile, then got to my feet. Being an oldhand at New England ruffed-grouse hunting, I announced thai I was going up on

that hill and commence hunting, insteadof just sitting and waiting for that onechance as they flew over. It might bethick up there, but so were some of thetangles where I hunted grouse at home.Ernesto didn't slop me. He knew I wouldlearn soon enough for myself.

I learned, all right. That was my firstpractical lesson in Cuban guinea-hen hunting—and it is the last time 1 ever intendto get caught on a jungle-clad Cuban hillside. It's not only a wild tangle of vinesand twisted limbs, but practically everything that grows there is covered withthorns—not just straight, sharp thorns, buttiiorns with hooks on the ends, like theclaws of a cat. But I'm not only a restlesshunter, I'm a bit bull-headed. I foughtmy way half the distance to the top ofthat hill until I could hear guineas allaround me. Another twenty feet, I thoughtto myself, and I'll fiy some of them. I gotdown on my hands and knees and creptthrough small openings; then Avent downon my belly and wormed my way along.Suddenly I could go no farther, as thoughI had come to the tapering end of a cave,and when I tried to back, out, I couldn'tbudge. Hardwood limbs pinned me to theground, and talon-like thorns held me inplace. I've never suffered from claustrophobia, but that would have been as gooda place as any for an attack of it. I hadto tell myself to lake it easy and work myway back out inch by inch, even if Ifailed to make the trip back down thehill in time to do any shooting. Meanwhile, all around me the guineas continued to go, "potrack, polrack, polrack."

WHEN Idid finally arrive back in theclear—with a few scratches, but none

the worse for wear—Ernesto didn't say athing. He's a gentleman. He merely suggested that I take a stand a couple ofhundred yards down the line so that theguns would be well spread. I didn't arriveany too soon. The birds commenced tofly while Ernesto was still giving me myinstructions. I stopped to lake a picture ortwo of the guineas that dad and Ernestobrought down out of the first bunch, thenhurried to my stand.

As soon as I was stationed 1 heardshooting behind me, then more shooting.1 watched and saw a small bunch leave ihehill and come sweeping down across theevening sky. They had a good head ofsteam by the time they crossed the clearing—in fad, I was amazed that anythingthat looks like a guinea could fly so fast—but one tumbled as Ernesto s gun cracked.Farther down the line I saw dad drop adouble. But none came over me. xNolhinghappened for fifteen minules. Then, aboutfifty yards ahead, I saw a rather largebunch of them trying to pull a slipperyAfrican trick. They were cautiously emerging from the wooded tangle on foot. Instead of flying overhead, they were going10 make a run for the sugar cane.

As they made a break and started theirdash across the clearing, I went into highgear in an attempt to cut them off and

put them in the air. Some people think apheasant is a runner. He isn't in it compared to a guinea. Those things cdn reallyeat up the ground, but, when necessary,I'm no slouch myself.

I gave it all I had in an effort to intercept them, and as I ran my eyes focusedon a bird near the center of the flock. Itwas pure white. An albino! I was excited enough about the prospect of gettingmy first shot at a guinea hen, but an albino! That was something rare. If I couldonly flush them before they reached thecane field! Suddenly they burst into theair, like a covey of quail. 1 slammed onthe brakes and took quick aim,and I madeit good. I saw the white one crumple atthe very moment thai he disappeared intothe cane.

Without shifting my eyes for an ijistant,I hurried to the spot where he had vanished. The cane towered high over myhead as I entered it, and the growth wasso dense that it was almost dark inside.I had a sudden fear thai I might lose mytrophy, but I followed the line of hisflight carefully and soon found a whitefeather. Another twenty feet, where hismomentum had carried him, I found thealbino guinea. This was my share of luckeven if I failed to get another shot.

Darkness falls fast in the tropics, andin another twenty minutes the hunt wasover, and 1 was the proudest one of all.I approached the others, swinging mywhite guinea nonchalantly—but conspicuously—by my side and wearing a look-at-me expression all over my face. I wailedfor an exclamation from the other hunters, or from one of the admiring bystanders who had gathered from the finca, butno one said a word. Someone had to callattention to my prize, so 1 opened mymouth to explain the significance of analbino-—how rare it is to bag one in anyspecies—when I happened to glance atErnesto. The Spanish people can t helpbut betray their emotions outwardly, andErnesto didn t appear exactly pleased.The corners of his mouth were turneddown so far that even his eyes drooped.I began to get the idea that my accomplishment wasn t fully appreciated.

Ernesto never did tell me directly whatwas wrong. 1 had to piece it together second hand. It seems that a white guineahen in Cuba is granted complete immunity; that he is surrounded with an auraof respect atnounting almost to a superstition, but it is a superstition based onpractical considerations. The Cubans wantthe guineas for food, but the birds havegone wild, so wild lhal it is often difficultto locate a flock, let alone shoot any ofthem. However, if there is an albinoamong them, he is always conspicuous.Any time the flock ventures into the opento feed, it is immediately evident—evenfrom a distance—by the presence of thewhite one. A plantation owner who hasa white guinea hen considers himself quitefortunate.

Prior to that hunt I thought I knew allthere was to know about luinting guinea

hens in Cuba. I was wrong. Now I know,but it's too late. That was my first guinea-hen hunt—and my last. We weren't in-

the trapper had lured him to his ownplace, muzzled and chained him, canoedhim a hundred miles to steel-end and soldhim to a menagerie buyer.

During all the slow kaleidoscope oftowns and jolting truck trips and hot,crowded tents, the longing had obsessedKatokah to be back in that wild, sternland again. Except for those shadowymemories of parents and litter mates, heknew his own kind not at all; the trapperhad killed them all out. But he was young,with the deep need of the young for company and the sense of belonging, and atnight he would lie whimpering in his cagefor the only home and kin he knew—thebig hardrocker and that cabin on the river.

Around him the light, local ground-airsthat stirred and died told him little, butthe persistent night wind out of the north-northwest carried many layers of massivescents and held many meanings for his talented nose. The same kind of alien country as surrounded him now extended onand on north for several hundred miles;and in a vague way he was a%vare thatthose leagues of settled man-country, withtheir dog packs, auto roads and otherdangers, would be an almost impossiblebarrier for him to traverse.

And beyond this barrier lay still another, this one still more daunting. Faint-

ly his nose made out the presence of agreat waters in that direction, blocking hisway. Far larger than any river or lake othis experience, it was like an inland sea,and as he studied it and interpreted thewind-clues to it, he knew instinctively thatit was much too wide for him to swim,much too huge for him or any other landcreature to pass over.

A rifle shot down the south slope ol thehill the leaders of the dog pack camebursting out of the pines—a redbonehound, a chow, a female collie. Katokahthrew them only a glance, then turnedback quickly to his probing and interpreting For beyond the great waters lay acountry that was totally different from dieman-country around him. It was so faraway that his nose-clues to it were merewhispers of scent, but their message wasunmistakable and it set his blood surging.No settled land, that country lying belowthe distant horizon, but a land of far-flungspruce and minaret pine, of countlessloon lakes, red-granite swells and rollingsub-Arctic tundra. , , . • -.u

When the three dogs reached him, withthe others strung out down the slope, hesnarled a warning and tried to back awayfrom them. Like all his tribe, he indulgedin no purposeless fighting or killing; hewanted only to be off for that country that

was pulling at him as though by an unseenleash.

More sensible than the other two dogsthe redbone began circling him warily]keeping at a safe distance. As thoughknowing that the wolfwould not harm herthe female collie rushed in, snapping athis hind legs and haunches, and the chow,a chunky, vicious dog of good size, sprangin and tried to seize him by the throat.Against the collie Katokah did no morethan defend himself, sidestepping her andshouldering her away. But the chow hemet fang to fang. Taking a few bites onhis chest and legs, he rode the dog down,killed it with one grab and shake andslung the limp form aside.

Before the rest of the pack could getthere, he shook off the collie, drove theredbone back with a lunge and snarl, andfled out along the ridgeline of the hillspur. For a few minutes, till he droppedhis pursuers hopelessly behind, he ran ata dead gallop. Then he slowed to the ef.fortless, loping pace-gait of the wolf, andset out on his long journey home—heading for that horizon where the Big Djp-swung low and hazy in the northern sky^ON ABIRCH HEADLAND that jutted

or woodchuck but big meat, deer, and itstoppe^i tracks, his hungerclamoring.

In a seconds of probing the air,he determined that the scent was comingfrom a wooded area a mile west along thelake shore, and it came not from one deerbut from a band of a dozen or more.

Withhis dilemma about thegreatwatersstill unsolved, he swung back into somebrushy sand-dunes and made his waytoward the expanse of woodland wherethe white-tails were stirring in the twilight.

At the edge of the woodland he wasstopped by a fence of woven steel-wire, toohigh to leap over, too strong to tearthrough, and footed so deeply in theground that he could not dig under it.From the concealment of a sand-bushthicket he peered through the steel netting uneasily, puzzled by the acres oflawns, the rock gardens, the big house andservitor cottages, the oaks, evergreens, andginkgo trees of the sumptuous lake-shoreestate.

The queer, disquieting place seemed tohim even more forbidden and dangerousthan the farmlands he had passed through.What troubled him was the unnaturalnessabout it. There was no undergrowth ormossy, rotting logs, no drift of autumnleaves, and under the evergreens, cut toshape of urn and pagoda, there was nosilent, sweet-smelling carpet of needles.Around the artificial pools and tarns hemade out forms with the likeness of gooseand trumpeter swan, of elk and leapingpuma, but his nose told him that thethings were stone statuary, cold and dead.

As he crouched there he picked up thescent of several dogs inside the estate,of some breed unfamiliar to him. Theircold trails, crisscrossing the grounds, indicated that they patrolled the place atnight, guarding it against any trespassers,and they seemed to be dogs of large anddangerous size.

But he was hungry, the deer scent warmand close, and he started back along thesteel netting in search of a place where liecould get through.

At the rjouth side of the estate he cameto a spot where a recent windstorm hadblown a tree across the fence, and the temporary repairs there were of chicken wire.With a little slashing and lugging, he torea hole in the meshing, slipped through andthen he found himself inside tlie strangegrounds.

Followinga bridle path among the trees,he passed a rustic bower and rustic bridgeand the green lodge of the gamekeepers.Approaching cautiously from down wind,he finally caught sight of his quarry, in themantling dusk—a band of fourteen deer,eating from metal troughs hung against theoaks. Compared with the lean, swiftwhite-tails he had known, they seemed fatand slow of foot, and their natural alertness was so dulled that he bellied up within a dozen paces of them without beingseen or heard.

In the way of a wolf stalking prey, he

One of the most outstanding cooperative effortswith Grand Exalted Ruler Bohn's "Get OutThe Vote" campaign was conducted by Augusta,Georgia, lodge under the chairmanship ofBrother Doughty Sylvester. The lodge awardedtwo $25 Government bonds for the »woJjesJletters on the subject "Why every voter shouldvote."

studied the deer one by one, selecting theslowest and least wary. When lie launchedhimself at them like a gray ho t, theybroke away from the feeding troughs, witha Hip of tails and a snort of panic, andwent thudding back through the trees. Allexcept a sluggish spike buck. In a fewleaps Katokah overhauled it and pulled itdown, and killed it with a wrench andslash of his tremendously powerful car-nassial teeth.

He had not yet started feeding when heheard a deep, throaty bark from the direction of the hole he had torn in the fence.Presently he caught the pad-pad of running feel and a few seconds later, down anavenue of the trees, he saw three largewhite dogs appear, trailing him swiftly,silently. Wolfhounds from the Carpathians,they lacked his weight and power, but theywere nearly as rangy as he and there werethree of them against his one.

They came on and on, coursing his trailin long curves, but he made no move toescape or back away. Ihe spike buck washis kill, his food and possession, and hestood over it defiantly, hackled up, snarling his low warning snarl, till the threefinally caught sight of him and came rushing in.

Like the trained figliters tliey were, tlieyfaimed out and came at Katokah fromthree sides. Bui he was wise to that tactic:in his battles with dog packs on the journey north he had learned the bitter lessonof the ring-attack well. Instead of fightingut bay, slashing now at one and now another of his enemies, he lunged forward tomeet the nearest dog, closed with it andbattled it to a finish.

and parrying as they fought for a throathold. The other two wolfhounds were attacking him savagely, ripping and slashing, but he stayed with the first one till heoverpowered the dog and clamped on thatfatal hold.

Only when the wolfhound lay thrashingand dying on the grass did he whirl on theother two. In a fury from the punishmenthe had taken, he locked with the seconddog, battled it on even terms for a fewminutes, grimly giving and taking, butswiftly he rode it down, killed it, thenturned on the third and last.

But this one, finding itself alone now,-sprang back from his lunge and refusedbattle, and as it kept backing away andeluding him it lifted the long wolfhoundbark of "quarry at bay" to summon help.

Out through the trees Katokah sawlights come on at the green lodge. Stillguarding his kill, he watched two mencome running out, one with a searchlight,the other loading a gun, and hurry towardthe baying. Presently the searchbeampicked up the white dog, then swung onhim, blindingly, and he heard an astonished shout: _ ,

' Look't it! 0 wolf! Big timber woli!The shotgun kroomed. Most of the shot

splatted harmlessly into the sod besideKatokah, like angry, storm-driven sleet.Only one pellet struck him, a mere stingin the shoulder, but he was suddenlyafraid. Forgetting the spike buck and hishunger, he whirled around and made lorthe sheltering ^arkness beyond the flash-beam.

It was the two men, not the dog or eventhe gun, that he was afraid of- He hadlearned that there were men and men.Like the kindly prospector—and the trapper who had muzzled and chained hin^Like the carnival owner, who proddedand half-starved him to make him lee-rrooo-cious"—and the keeper who sometimes slipped around at night with extrafeed and patted the "one and only Man-Eater' and talked with him m low, part-nerly voice. And the two men yonder weremen of the sort to fear.

In a few moments he had outrun thefiashbeam. As he made a bigcircle aroundthe men and the lodge, the wolfhound keptclose behind him—but not too close. Atthe fence he leaped through the hole hehad torn in the chicken wire and was outof the queer woodland.

A thousand yards down among thedunes he stopped, listened, heard no pursuit, licked his wounds briefly, then wenton toward the headland. All his uncertainty and dilemma were gone now. Hesensed there would be no safely for himtill he got back to that wild, solitary landof his memory. After the many dangersof the settled country he had passedthrough, and now this last fearsome experience in the woods that was somehownot a woods, he wanted no food, rest oranything whatever except to be pushingon and on toward that untamed countryof the Long Sun and the Long Dark.

At the lip of the headland he waded

out through the shallows to deep waterand started swimming.

IN the slow dawn broadening over thegray watery wastes, a two-man fishing

smack was chugging homeward, empty-handed, from the white-fish grounds in themiddle deeps of the lake. At the wheelon the foredeck a stocky, redheaded manof thirty was moodily watching the mewinggulls, the shimmer of a surfacing perchschool, the high roseate cirrus in the morn-ing sky; and in spite of a deep, abidingtrouble in his eyes, a certain contentmentrested on his face, as though the familiarwilderness of sky, clouds and waters wasone kind, his kind, of wilderness—theeternal frontier of lone waters.

Suddenly he broke ofT a yawn, staredout across the loping waves, then pointedexcitedly.

"Clarney, look! Overyon, aport, there'ssomething—some animal—swimmingalong—"

"Log, probably," the older man on theaft deck grunted. "A steady-nor-westerlike we've been having always brings driftout of the Ontario bays,"

"I tell you it's alive," the younger maninsisted. He veered over toward the puz.zling thing, "Blow me down, it's a doerClarney! A dog, 'way out here—-muShave jumped or fallen off a boat." Bmthen, as the smack chugged closer: "Nqit isn't any dog. Look at that brush. Andyou ever see a dog that big? That'swolf!"

The older man nodded. "Wolf iiright. Used to hunt em when I was youm/Used to be lots of 'em in the North Shorwoods. But been none for years nov^^Never did see one that big. A whonnorlike that, he must have come from tlHudson Bay country."

The redhead gazed down with pitythe spent gray form. "Whopper or nnthat fellow's just about had it. Can hard!hold his nose out of the water. Lo UClarney, we're going north and that's thway he seems to be heading—how'<!having him aboard?" " ^about

"Not on my boat," Clarney crnwl-. 1"That brute could take a man's les f!"We've had trouble enough on this t ''thout taking on acargo of grief like th^r'But as he studied Katokah, the greatof him and the silver-tawny color hesilent, his eyes narrow and caliulatil,?"Hmmph. A genu-wine northern timbe'wolf—getting to be scarce items—that'nseems to be sound and healthv—1AH right, we'll haul it in."

They dropped a length of seine over theside, circled around Katokah, pursued himand dragged him up onto the net-drainboards, limp and soggy as a huge graymop.

The boat drifted, rocking in the waves.Katokah lay quiet on the deck, too bone-weary at first to move. The older manhadgot a pistol from below and he kept hishand on it as he saw signs of strength returning to the big wolf. But the redheadsquatted down near Katokah and looked

him over, wilh eyes that were curious butunafraid and friendly.

"Hi-yuh, big boy. You're one for thebooks, swimming along out here in themiddle of nowhere. Wherever you wereheading, you mustVe wanted lo get therel)ad. Look now, I've sort of gone parolebond for you, and you'll take it easyaround us, huh?"

The voice was soothing and kindly, andKatokah wagged his tail feebly in response to the friendliness. The redhead'seyes widened in surprise.

''See that, Clarney? Wagging his tail!A wild wolf wouldn't do that."

The older man was watching sharply,chewing his lip. Hmmph. Somebody'shad that wolf. He ought to be easy tohandle. Might even be a trained animal.Try him out some more."

"First off, I'm getting him some food,"tlie redhead said. "Look at those ribs.He hasn't had a square meal since when."

He brought up a generous pan of breakfast stew, and Katokah ate. Then he said"Lie!" and Katokah obediently lay down,his head on his forelegs. He tossed thewolf a small fish and said "Catch" andKatokah caught and bolted it. He said,"How's about shaking hands, guy?" andKatokah wagged his tail and lifted hisright front paw.

•'That wolf," the older man remarked,"is worth money. At Baie du Bois Fortthere's a fellow got a menagerie farm, goesaround buying animals—he'll give fivehundred dollars for that wolf quick as

\he redhead's smile died. "Selling him,a wild-born thing like him, to be coopedyp I can't go along with that, Clarney."

The older man bristled. "Who careswhat you go along with? I'm boss of thisi,oat. 'Sides, a person in your shoes—"

''That again. Always dragging that out,like a club. Well, this is one time it won'twork. We're going to let this wolf loose."

''Are we?"' Theolder man's voice turnedhard and threatening. "A person theMounted is looking for, with a year moreto lay out in the pen—^re we?"

For a few moments their stares met andclashed, and the redhead clenched a bigfist. But then he swallowed hard, looked

down, slowly turned away and beganmending net. The older man crossed thecatwalk to the foredeck, pushed the enginetJirottle to full, took the wheel and set acourse northwest by north toward the Ontario shore and the menagerie farm atBaie du Bois Fort. . . .

It was near sunset when they roundeda cluster of rocky islets and before them,at the head of a deep bay, the wharf andwhite houses and summer-tourist bungalows of Baie du Bois Fort swam slowlyinto view.

Restless and excited, Katokah was sitting on the aft deck near his new-foundfriend, who sat silent, thinking hard, adead pipe in his teeth. For hours the bigwolf, reading the wind across the waters,had been getting more and more fidgetyand keyed up. He was aware that thecountry yonder was not yet his country,but the scents of his journey's end hadbeen growing plainer, stronger.

The redhead put a hand on his shoulder, to quiet him and stop his keening."Keep your shirt on, big boy. You're notgoing anj^vhere, if that's what you'rethinking. Where you're going is back tothe pen, and it won't Be-for just a yearorso, either. It'll be for life."

"Put them on him yourself," the redhead said, in a low, slowvoice. "I've abouthad a bellyful of your small-potato blackmail, Clarney."

The chain and muzzle struck fear intoKatokah. He had seen those things beforeand they were evil things. And he was beginning to catch the scents of the bay-headtown, and that too was rousing fears inhim. Sometime he had been in that tOAvnbefore, and it was an evil place.

As the older man approached him hescrambled to his feet and backed off. Theman's "Nice doggie" and show of friendlinessdeceived him none. Instead of obeying the command to "lie," he dodgedaside, as the man tried to corner him on i

the net drain, and sprang across the catwalk to the foredeck.

When the man followed him with themuzzle and chain and penned him againstthe spane shield, he started whimperingand looked around for some way of escape. But there was no way, no furtherretreat. Just as the man was reaching forhim. he crouched and leaped over theshield, hit the waterand started swimmingfor the nearest wooded point.

Behind him he heard an oath of angerand disappointment. Then the redheadcalled out a sharp warning: "Clarney!Put that gun back in your pocket. Youshoot him and so help me I'll make chumof you." He started across the catwalk toback up his warning with his fists.

"You'll pay for this plenty," the olderman snapped at him.

"That's the last time you'll threaten toturnmeover to theMounted,' the redheadtold him. "Know why, Clarney? BecauseI'm going to turn myself in. I ve beenthinking this all over, and that s what cameout. If I go on like this, you and the hkesof you will have me over a barrel the restof my days. So I propose to go back andlay out my"ti''ne md have it over witii.

Night had come early, that murky No-vember day, and the first snow oi

winter was falling. In the windy darknessKatokah, foot-sore and gaunt as a sc^e-crow, was circling warily around the cabinon the riverbank.- The scents and sounds coming from thecabin had plunged him into another tormenting dilemma. The birch smoke tumbling from the eaves pipe and the lightshining from the small "blizzard windowswere familiar and reassuring, and the rum-bly voice of his master inside stirred analmost irresistible impulse to go up andscratch on the door and keen to be let in,asofold. But the trapper was in there, theman who had muzzled and chained mm,and canoed him off to the alien land. ememory of those days, of his bewilderehelplessness, was burned into his brain,and the mere scent of the man set himtrembling with fear.

But as he circled the cabin half a dozentimes, he drew nearer it each time, willy-nilly, till finally the voice of the hard-rocker and the odor of a roasting caribouhaunch overcame his wariness and fears.Timidly he crept up to the cabin door,ready to whirl and flee, and scratched atthe bear-proof planking and got out asort of "woof."

A silence fell in the cabin. Then thedoor swung open and his master stood before him. For a short lime the big fellowcould only stand there and stare at him,dumfounded. Then the man let out a roar:

"Kaiohah!"

Because of the trapper, Katokah refusedto go in. He sat in the shaft of light, wagging his tail, and offered his paw in greeting. Swearing big, hardrocker oaths, theman bent down, shook hands, gave him athump in the ribs and half dragged himinto the cabin.

Over by the sheet-iron stove the trapper,also dumfounded, pushed back his chairand hastily got up, completely forgettingthe sack of "elementaries" he had cadged."Think Til be getting along home," hemumbled, sidling toward the door. "Stormcoming on—and somehow I don't feel sogood.'

The hardrocker stepped in front of him,blocked his way, stood looking at him in atowering anger.

"You liar!" he thundered. "You told methat Katokah was dead. You said youfound him in an old deadfall by the river-bank trail. All along Tve had my suspi.cions. Last spring I heard a rumor thatyou'd sold a big wolf to some menageriebuyer. That was Katokah here. You stolehim and sold him, you carcajou bait! I

•ought to break you in two.""I didn't steal him. He must've run olT

and been living with other wolves aroundhere—"

"What other wolves? You've killed 'emall out. That's another thing about youI don't like—fouling up this country wiihyour traps and poison. Now this is thelimit, your stealing my dog, and you'regoing to pack^p and get gone. If youVedown there the next time I come by, I'Hthrow you into the river and kick yourshack in on top of you, and don't think Iwon't. Now put your foot in front of yournose and gi/. ' • • •

An hour or so later, after they had attended to the roast caribou and got reacquainted, they walked out into the snowvdarkness, to stretch their legs before turn-ing in for the night.

"This blow will bring on freezing weather, Katoke," the hardrocker said. "So tomorrow you and I'll start laying in ourfish and caribou for the winter. You canstand considerable fattening up, from thi-looks of those slats of yours. Whereveryou've been and however you got back Ican see it took some doing." '

Katokah kept close to him, still withlinger of fear about the trapper. On th^keen north wind, cold and exhilaratinc^^he caught the odor of the mighty cariboutraverse—of the dun herds streaming outof their summertime range in tiie GreatBarrens to their winter yards in"Strong Woods." But of his own kind thepacks that usually followed the migrationhe could pick up no scent whatever orhear any distant calling from woods ortundra.

The prospector shook his head sadly"No wolves," he remarked, as though hetoo had been listening for that night soneof the wild lands. "But there'll be a fewof 'em blizzard-drift down this way fromthe Thelon, later on. Country where youcan't hear wolves in the Big Dark it's nr.fit place for us."

Katokah did not understand the wordsbut the warmth and partnerly tone of them'gave him a sense of being home again,after long and bitter exile. In the gustydarkness and crawling snow he stood tightagainst the hardrockers leg, listening contentedly to the storm and the night.

"FREEDOM'S FACTS"—Youth's Challenge^ It's iv-ini

Defencf It!

This month onPage 34 Grand Exalted Ruler Fred L.Bohn has a specialmessage la ExaltedRulers concerningSoviet attempts toinfiltrate Americanyouth, and for thisreason this month's

I. excerpt from "Free

dom's Facts", a monthly bulletin of the/ill-American Conference to Combat Communism, isparticularly timely.

•

Throughout the Communist Empire,students and young workers are studyingand talking. As they do, .they are learningthat there must be a better way to livethan under Communist tyranny. The resulthas been a series of revolts and demonstrations o\^r the past two years. At firstthe revolts were small ones—some EastGermans refusing to study compulsoryRussian language lessons or Czechoslovakstudents lampooning the Reds in a university parage.

But during the past lew months the re-olts have become man-sized. The Poznan

in Poland and the violent Hungarianrevolt were set off and largely led by

^°Even more recently there have been re-orts of student unrest in the Soviet

Union These have been mild expressionsof youth's "right to know the trutlv' aboutworld conditions. But they show a widen-ina crack in young people s faith m thetruthfulness of Commumst rulers

What must send chills ot lear down thesDines of Red leaders is that these questioning youth and these young revolution-aries are members of the "new generation". These are the young people topReds have been countmg on to buildCommunist society and to sovietize theworld In the words of Joseph Stalin,spoken in 1933: "The youth is our future,our hope, comrades. The youth must takeour places, the places of the old people.It must carry our banner to final victory".

Something obviously has gone wrongwith basic Communist theory. For morethan ten years Red propagandists andteachers have used every possible meansto indoctrinate Iron Curtain youth in militant Communism, since their training begins in kindergarten.

These children graduate into schoolswhere a large part of their time is spentlearning Marxism-Leninism. ''Pravda ' onMay 5, 1956, reemphasized: "One of themost important inherent parts of Communist education is propaganda of the Leninist ideas".

As long ago as April 8, 1956, "Pravda"stated: "Higher educational establishments are training cadres of truly people'sintelligentsia. Young boys and girls arebeing educated in the spirit of the ideas

of Marxism-Leninism, Soviet patriotismand proletarian internationalism.

"However, it would be wrong to overlook substantial shortcomings in the educational work of a number of higher educational establishments. . . . Party andKomsomol organizations do not pay sufficient attention to the ideological trainingof students. . . . The shortcomings mustbe eliminated."

Similar concern with the upbringing ofyouth has been shown in all the satellites.In urging more ideological training ofPolish youth. Radio Warsaw on January8, 1956, struckon a key to the later revoltof the youth against Communist tyranny.The radio commentator said: "The circlesof thinking youth are now undergoing acrisis. They are fighting to learn the truevalues".

Communist leaders have been trying tosell youth inside and outside the Communist Empire on the idea that Marxism-Leninism is the truth. Outside the Communist Empire they have a network of youthgroups. All are associated directly or indirectly with national Communist Parties—such as the Labor Youth League (LYL)in the United States. Most are part andparcel of the Reds' big youth front, the^'orld Federation of Democratic Youth(WFDY).

The job of these groups iS to sell theyouth of free countries the idea that Marx-ism-Leninism is the truth, and let there beno mistake. They have made many successes. By their own claim WFDY membership has risen from thirty million fromsixty-three countries in 1945 to eighty-sixmillion from ninety-six countries in November, 1955.

A total of 380delegations of young people from seventy-six countries were induced to visit the Soviet Union to takepart in "youth festivals" and see propaganda shows put on by Communist youth.From these misguided youth groups havecome many of the hard-core CommunistParty members and the organizers of theRed front groups. From these groups havecome leaders of rioting students in Singapore, Syria and Egypt.

But while the Reds have been makingsome progress among youth in Asia, Africaand elsewhere in the free world, they havebeen losing at home. The youth have beenseeking the truth, and are now recognizingthat what the Communists tell them is notthe tnitli. Tiiey are learning that Communist tyranny means the deception, exploitation, and oppression of youth and of allpeople who submit to it. As one Hungarian student is reported to have said lastmonth: "We felt we were in a dark tunneland could not see the future. We saw noway out. We had no future."

The youth is the future of the world.Their search for truth, even under thehard conditions existing in the CommunistEmpire, indicates that our future ultimately will be free.

WORKSHOPHandsaws—and How Best to Use Them,

BY HARRY WALTON

16' TOOLBOX SAW

KEYHOLE SAW

COP NG

SA.W

Besides rip and crosscut saws, you may needsome of these. The 16" saw is a handy crosscuttype. Pick the slimmest keyhole saw you canfind if you have curves to cut. A coping sawwith an extra-deep throat wilf cut farther fromar> edge than the common kind shown.

Almost every woodworking job you. tackle requires some sawing. That

makes saws just about the most importanttools in your kit, especially if you usehand tools exclusively. Even if you havea power saw, there will be occasions whenonly a handsaw will do—for cutting anopening in a wall panel, for instance, oron-the-spot fitting of moldings and otherparts of built-ins.

It pays to be particular when buying ahandsaw. The first cost is only money, buta poor cutting tool can keep you paying,in extra labor, time and effort, every timeyou use it.

SHOPPING FOR SAWS. A reputable brand name, a well-fiited handle, anda good finish on the blade are more reliable buying guides than a low price. Trythe f5aw in your hand; if it does not feelright, try another. See if the handle isparallel to the blade (Figure 1). Onethat's askew will tire you faster and tendto run off the cutting line.

Hold the saw pointing away from you,and sight along the toothed edge fromdie handle end to the tip. This edge shouldbe absolutely straight, with no bow in it.

Seen from the flat side, the toothed edpmay have a slight crown as shown in Figure 1. A good saw may be marked '"hollow

50

ground" or "taper ground". This meansthe blade is thickest at the toothed edgeand thinner elsewhere, which helps prevent binding and promotes free cuttmg.

THE TWO MAIN SAWS are thecrosscut and the ripsaw. The crosscut is forcutting across the grain, or to lengt . eother is for sawing along thewidth. A crosscut saw should probably bethe first you buy, for cutting to lengt isalmost alwa^ necessary, while ripping owidth is called fbr only occasional y.

The crosscut saw may be24or26incheslong, with 8 to 10 points (teeth) per inch.This size is best if you have much heavystock, such as two-by-fours, to cut. ^orlighter work, you might manage with thehandy tool-box size, a16-inch saw with 10•'TrosL^t'teeth are bevel-fiied both front

and back, alternately from the two sidesof the blade, as in Figure 2. The sharpedges shear across the wood fibers, cuttingtwo V-shaped grooves until they are deepenough to join in one kerf or saw cut, asshown.

To make sawing easier, the teeth arebent slightly outward, again in alternatedirections. This causes them to cut a kerfabout two-thirds wider than the thicknessof the saw blade, in which the blade canrun freely. But the set must be uniformfor all teeth and the same on both sides;if uneven, it will make the saw wander offthe cutting line.

The teeth of a ripsaw are bigger thancrosscut teeth, hence there are fewer to theinch (51/4 commonly). They too are setto produce a kerf wider than the blade.But instead of being bevel filed, they are

filed straight across at right angles to theblade, like a row of tiny chisels (Figure3). They work much like chisels, ploughing a groove lengthwise of the grain.

the trick TO SAWING is to workin a deliberate rhythm, making everystroke count and using as nearly the fulllength of the toothed edge as practicable.(Short strokes make the middle teeth doall the work and therefore- dull prematurely.) Sawing rapidly or forcing theteeth into the wood gains little time, andmakes the work harder. A good, sharpsaw cuts with little more than its ownweight and the natural downthrust of thecutting stroke.

START A CROSSCUT SAW withthe teeth near the handle. Set them onthe waste side of the cutting line as inFigure 4 (if you saw on the other sidethe piece will be too short by the widthof the cut).

Holding the thumb of your free handagainst the blade just above the saw teethto guide it, draw the saw back once ortwice to cut a little starting groove. Continue with full-length forward strokes. Asyou approach the end of the cut, reacharound with your free hand and hold upthe unsupported piece so that it does notdrop and splinteroff.

START A RIPSAW with its front ortip teeth, which are usually slightly finerfor that purpose. (Some new saws havefine teeth at the handle end instead )Lift most of the saw's weight off the woodletting it rest very lightly, and start witha slow forv 'ard cut. Once the kerf is begun, let the full weight of the saw rest init and lengthen the stroke.

With either saw, keep your elbow closeto the body, with the right shoulder elbowand blade in line. Sight over the saw sothat you can in effect see both sides of itHold a crosscut saw at an angle of aboutAC f M A . r .1— I r \jx anoi45 degrees to the surface of the work, aripsaw at about 60 degrees (Figure 5)Holding a saw at too flat an angle makestoo many teeth work at one time and slowsdown cutting action. At too great an angle,it will cut well but with splintering onthe underside.

TIPS ABOUT SAW TROUBLES.When a cut deviates from the intendedline, or it is not square, you can coax it

back by gently Ijending the blade or twisting it to the side, as the case may require, and using short strokes until thetrouble is corrected. If a rip cut tends toclose behind the blade, drive in a bit ofwood shingle or a similar wedge-shapedpiece to keep the kerf open.

When a saw binds in the cut, it may bebecause it has insufficient set (long useboth dulls the teeth and bends them inward), or the wood may be damp or poorly seasoned, or you may have changedthe angle of the cut. Oiling the blademay help, but avoid this if the work is tobe glued, as oil may prevent proper adhesion.

If you must cut green or poorly seasoned wood, a saw with fewer points (say7 per inch) and a wide set will work better than a 10-poinler. Cutting plywoodcalls for a crosscut saw, preferably withat least 10 points to the inch. Sawing atsomewhat Jess than 45 degrees will helpminimize splintering. Big sheets lend tosag and pinch the saw. Adequate supportis the best answer. Another is placing theplywood in a vertical position and clamp-

SAWING INSIDE EDGES. To cut ahole that does not break through an edge,you need a keyhole, compass or copingsaw. A keyhole saw has a slender taperedblade coming to a poinL A compass sawis similar but slightly larger. A copingsaw has a steel frame in which thm bladesare clamped under tension.

After marking out the opening to becut out, bore holes in two or more corners,bi'' enough to admit the first two inchesof°lhe saw. Where the work cannot beturned, it may be well to bore a hole ineach corner so that you can saw downwardor in whatever direction is easiesL

If the opening is large, you can savetime by starting tlie cut with a compasssaw and then inserting a ripsaw as soonas the kerf is long enough. The roundedcorners left by the bored holes can besquared up with a saw or a rasp.

The keyhole saw is narrow enough toturn in the kerf, and will cut curves ofreasonably large radius. But for sharpcurves you'll need a coping saw. The limitation on a coping saw is the depth of itsframe, for when this strikes the edge ofthe work, the blade can no longer cut(Figure 7).

The blade can be inserted with the teethpointing toward or away from the handle,and it can also be turned at any angle tothe frame. Take care to turn both bladeholders to the same angle, keeping theblade !lat, and to tighten the blade tofull tension before starting to saw.

If an opening is to be cut entirely insidea piece, drill a small hole within the

Better still, clampthe work to the fence or, if its shape makesthis difficult, clamp a block against it as above.

To cut with the work clamped uprightin a vise, mount the blade with the teethpointing away from tlie hani^e. The forward stroke will do the cutting. Be carefulnot to apply much down pressure, as thethin blades readily break.

ROWING AHEAD AND LOOKING

ASTERN

This month we celebrate the 89th

birthday of our Order.Plutarch referred to "Watermen who

look astern while they row the boatahead". The Elk devotes himself faith

fully to rowing the boat ahead but hewill not make any less progress onward

as he looks astern.

Surely, in looking back over the years he finds inspiration for contributing to the future glory and accomplishments of the Order.

He sees a little group of fifteen men developing into agreat brotherhood of 1,200,000 American citizens. He seesthe assets of 1,800 lodges grow to a total of $300,000,000and notes that their donations to charitable, patriotic andcivil activities have reached $150,000,000.

There comes to him, as he looks astern, the story of theElks National Foundation, developing from voluntary contributions a fund of $6,000,000, not a dollar of which hasever been expended, the Grand Lodge paying all expenses.

He remembers that the income from the fund, approaching $200,000 annually, is applied to providing scholarshipsfor thousands of boys and girls and contributing to the welfare of thousands of crippled children and those sufferingfrom such afflictions as cerebral palsy. To treat these children, Foundation donations are providing for the specialtraining of doctors, nurses and therapists.

He notes with pride the contributions made to our government's assistance in the days of war. He recalls particularly in World War I the equipment of base hospitals atthe battlefront in France, the erection of the first reconstruction hospital in this country and the providing of thefunds which made it possible for the Salvation Army tocarry on its magnificent work overseas.

In the vision of World War II he recalls the Order establishing 400 refresher schools to qualify young men for theFlymg Cadet Corps and, at the request of the AdjutantGeneral of the Army, enlisting 97,000 Ground Crew menfor the Air Corps.

fi. Adjutant General of the Army andOperations turned over entirely to therder of Elks the enlistment of Army Engineers and Sea-bees, with resulting impressive success.

fie pictures the fraternal centers established by theOrder to provide for the comfort and conveniences of theyoung men entering the Services and the contributionsmade to the needs and morale in the entertainment ofhospitalized veterans continued to this day under the direction of the Elks National Service Commission.

We cannot doubt that his looking astern will strengthenhe is soproud to be a member.

THE FRATERNAL MAGAZINE—ITS "RAISON D'ETRE"

Webster's dictionary says that a fraternal order is a society organized forthe pursuit of some common object, itsmembers working together in a brotherly union and that a magazine is aperiodical containing miscellaneous articles, poems, stories, etc. It follows

that a fraternal magazine is a magazine including printedmatter to satisfy the particular interests of a special groupstriving jointly to accomplish certain goals.

However, there is more to a fraternal magazine than that.It properly is a stimulating document, capable of excitingand maintaining the interest of the members of the fraternity in its activities. It is a focal point to which the memberscan with interest and pride receive the news of the Order

To develop and hold the interest of the readers of a fraternal magazine the Editors have to go one step furtherthan merely furnishing news ofthe fraternity; beyond thata true fraternal magazine reflects the general interest of themembers. The Editors have to realize that it is neceslaryto giv^ consideration in the written matter, advertising artwork and layouts to such broader interests as exist amthe readers, in addition to their common interest in theirorganization. Thus, a magazine of this character 'thoroughly representative of the fraternity and the class ofaudience that reads it.

A fraternal magazine is not designed primarily to be amoney making proposition. Rather, there is a finer reasonfor its existence—service to the members of the organisation responsible for its creation and publication.

A fraternal magazine must have the confidence of itssubscribers since the latter properly have a feeling of ownership of the publication and responsibility for the soundness of its editorial and business policy and for the highcharacter of the advertisements allowed to appear therein

Afraternal publication has been referred to as primarilya vehicle to carry a m^mbe 's fraternity into his home Itacts as a constant reminder to the members of Ihe objectivesof their fraternity and serves as a medium of education tothe new member, bringing him quick appreciation of theoverall pattern of his fraternity and eficouraging him towork for its advancement.

Also a fraternal magazine serves as a watch dog of itsassociation, ever alert to safeguard the interests of the fraternity from attack from without and ever watchful tomaintain its dignity, high principles and traditions.

Through the excellence of its editorial contents the fraternal publication helps to keep the fraternity itself on a highplane and proves a constant stimulus to greater achievement

NATURALLY—THE ELKSWhen a family from South CaroHna on its way to

California for Christmas had an automobile breakdown inGeorgia they appealed to thfe Augusta "Herald" for help.The Herald called for the assistance of ham radio operators to reach the Elks Clubs in the vicinity to get them tofinance the trip, for they knew where to go. The ElkLodges took over the job. Thus reports an AssociatedPress item of two days before Christmas.
