Canadian Eskimo Stone Carvings
The Eskimos living on the rugged coast
of the Canadian Arctic, like the Eskimos
of the Alaskan coast, have found inspiration
in producing a meaningful art.
Whereas the Alaskan Eskimo used the ivory
of the walrus, and whalebone,
the Canadian Eskimo uses stone.
Out of the lifeless rock they have created
lively forms depicting, not only human beings
and animals, but also imagined creatures
seen only in their dreams.
An exhibit of their work is now on display
Segregationists
Suffer Major Blow
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., (£>—Gov
ernor Orval E. Faubus met a ma
jor defeat Monday in* Little
Rock’s integration feud with the
recall of three segregationists
from the school board.
Faubus has put himself squarely
behind the segregationists in the
recall election which sprang from
an uprising of a group of citizens
over the firing of 44 teachers.
All three of them were defeated,
including the board’s president Ed
Ii McKinly, who was ousted by a
Vote of 13,347 to 11,855.
At the same time the three
moderates, who said they prefer
some integration to no schools,
won a vot of confidence by re
taining their seats.
It is now up to the Pulaski
County Board of Education to fill
the vacancies. The board’s five
members, all political unknowns
here, have kept their own counsel
as to their plans.
Faubus twice went on television
in the closing, days of the bitter
campaign to plead for retention
of the segregationists. He called
the controversy over firing of the
teachers a smokescreen for inte
gration.
Today, Robert W. Laster, Little
Rock traffic judge and the worst
beaten of the segregationists said:
“Well it looks like the people want,
integrated schools, doesn’t it?”
Tender Nose . . .
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., UP) —
A 3-year-old boy was rescued
from the jaws of a 250-pound bear
at the City Zoo Tuesday by a teen
ager who jammed a glowing cig
arette against the beast’s nose.
The animal released its grip on
the hand of Russell Van Dam.
The boy had crawled under a
guard rail and thrust his hand
through a two-inch mesh screen
into the bear’s cage.
Thomas Cole, 19, heard the
boy’s mother, Mrs. Melvin J. Van
Dam, scream. He rushed to the
cage and found her trying to pull
her son’s hand free. Cole reached
through the screen and burned the
bear’s tender nose.
Russell was treated at a hos
pital. His condition was reported
good today.

School Studies '
Blamed for Actions
Of Cleveland ‘Nazi’
CLEVELAND, UR — The boy is
15, has an IQ in the geaius range
and when he goes into something
he pours his soul into it.
When he took up piano, he prac
ticed four hours a day! Then it
was nothing but rockets. That
lasted until one of his gang was
injured while building a launcher.
This time he went in the wrong
direction and too far.
He and his three companions
planned to organize a Nazi-like
party. The boy said in juvenile
court Monday the plan was to
overthrow the U. S. government.
What they actually did, the
court was told, was to raid the
Bonds for Israel office in down
town Cleveland April 11, cutting
up an Israeli flag and painting
swastikas on the walls.
The Rev. Everett Ostrom, who
appeared with the four in court,
blamed a “special study class in
politics,” at Collinwod High
School. The “fuehrer” of the group
is 'a straight-A student at Collin
wood and lias an IQ of 14-8, the
minister said.
The Rev. Mr. Ostrom, pastor
of the First Covenant Church,
'aid the boy showed no interest
in political ideologies before tak
ing the special course about two
years ago. He said he felt the
course failed to present demo
cratic ideology adequately.
At Collinwood,. Clarence Hud
son, an assistant principal, re
torted that the school’s 3,200 pu
pils all take social or political
study courses and the four “are
the only ones who wound up
thinking in Nazi terms.”
The youths — three 15 and one
16 — were investigated after
authorities learned they had dis
tributed subversive literature at
the school.
Judge Margaret J. Spellacy or
dered psychiatric examination of
the youth with the high IQ prior
to passing sentence.
Judge Spellacy ordered the
other three to write 10-page com
positions on the best form of gov
ernment and put them on 10 p.m.
curfew.
