Wild Horses Are
Problem for
B.C. Cattlemen
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C.,
Ranchers north of the Peace River
in British Columbia are still kick
ing around the problem of what
to do with bands of renegade hors
es which are threatening to crowd
out more than 8,000 head of cattle
from the open range.
Latest move to dispose of the
unbranded cayuses is a proposal
by the Upper Cache Creek Live
stock Breeders’ Assn, that the
B.C. government close the range
under authority of the grazing
act. Under the act, not now en
forced in the Peace River area,
Crown Range is closed to horses
for a certain period each year
during which ranchers must get
them off or they are rounded up
for slaughter.
Stockmen estimate several hun
dred “slick ears”—horses turned
wild—are roaming the Crown
Range at the expense of the badly
needed feed for cattle.
Instead of slaughtering the ani
mals, should a roundup be or
dered, the cattlemen proposed the
mustangs be auctioned off and
sold in the Yukon for packing into
ranger stations, mining operations
and engineering camps.
Until the Alaska Highway was
opened to the public after the sec
ond world v/ar, horses were the
main means of conveyance in the
Peace River area since pioneers
first treked into the region along
the old Edson trail from Edmon
ton. During construction vof the
highway which runs from Dawson
Creek, B.C., to Fairbanks, hun
dreds of pack horses used to sup
ply road camps later ran wild and
are believed to form the nucleus
of the present renegate bands.

Corporate Income Taxes
And Many Excises Will
Stay at Present Levels
WASHINGTON, Corporate
income taxes and the excises on
a long list of goods will stay at
j present levels for another year.
President Eisenhower last night
j signed the bill postponing a de
j crease which otherwise would
have taken effect April 1.
The corporate income levy,
which has stood at 52 percent
since the Korean War, was due to
drop to 47 percent after March.
At the same time, without ex
tension, excises would have gone
down on alcoholic beverages, cig
arets, gasoline, trucks, automo
biles, buses, automobile parts and
accessories, diesel and special mo
tor fuels.
The annual loss of revenue from
the lower rates would have run
an estimated S3 billion.

‘Quo Vadi§‘ Is
Destined To Be
Movie Milestone
In “Quo Vadis,” M-G-M has
produced a film that is destined
to become a motion picture mile
stone.
With Robert Taylor and Deb
orah Kerr heading its cast of
thousands, this thrilling story of
the birth of Christianity in a
pagan world is brought to the
screen with magnificent splendor.
Etched against the most spectac
ular of all of history’s backdrops,
that of ancient Rome in the days
of the Emperor Nero, this is the
story of a handsome warrior and
a beautiful girl who find their
love is matched by their devotion
to a cause which becomes a cru
| sade against man’s inhumanity
towards man.
It is based on the novel by
Henryk Sienkiewiez, which head
ed the best-seller lists for 25 years
after its first publication in 1895
and which has been translated
into every language in the world.
It was filmed entirely in Rome
amid the actual scenes of its his
toric locale. Its spectacular scenes
i required more sets (115), includ
ing a reproduction of the Circus
of Nero and the filming of the
burning of Rome; more actors
(6,500 in one scene alone); more
costumes (15,000); more props
(150,000); more cast principals
(110 actors in speaking roles);
more animals (including 63 lions)
than an£ motion picture ever
made.
So that “Quo Vadis” could be
brought to the screen in Techni
| color (the first such ever made
J in Italy), more than 250 tons of
electrical equipment was shipped
from Hollywood to Italy,
i Robert Taylor plays has most
colorful role as the Roman war
rior, Marcus Vinicius. Deborah
Kerr enacts the lovely Lygia. Leo
Genn and Peter Ustinov, both
prominent in the English theater,
j are cast respectively as Petronius
and Nero.
“Quo Vadis,” starting a four
day run in Nome at The Theater,
was directed by Mervyn LeRoy,
who has given the screen many
notable pictures.
