All Are Experts When It Comes To
Coaching Team, Raising Neighbors’
Children or Running Country Paper
Columbus (Mont.) News <
“There are three things in this
world in which all men are ex
perts. These are (a) coaching a
high school football team, Ob)
raising the neighbor’s children,
and (c) editing and operating a
country newspaper.”
So concluded H. M. Sutherland,
publisher for 40 years of the Clint
wood (Va.) Dickensonian. In his
weekly column “In Retrospect” he
explained.
“The average citizen may be
slightly confused by the principles
of the atomic fission, he may not
exactly understand the marital
status of his favorite Hollywood
star, and he may on occasion
wonder what has become of Har
old Stassen. But when it comes to
a crossbuck with three-mdn in
terference, and the proper defense
against an end run from a single
wing formation, he can give Al
onzo Stagg cards, spades, and
big casino and lick him to a fare-,
you-well.
“It may be that his own chil
dren heed not his admonitions,
but he has no doubts whatsoever
about what he would do with
those little brats next door if he
had them under his control for
just one day. And furthermore, it
would be utterly foolish to attempt
to reason with those kids. What
they need is a thorough applica
tion of the old-time hickory
switch properly placed.
“He is completely convinced
that, if he had a newspaper all
his own, Hell would certainly
pop, and the world would be
saved in the wink of an eye. In
fact, if all these expert opinions
about how to operate a weekly
newspaper were laid end to end,
there could be no question but
that they would bridge the gap
that now lies between Joe Mc
Carthy and the Kremlin.
“Not that we have reached the
point where we are- refusing to
accept any of this expert advice!
On the other hand, we welcome
it in the hope that some time
something of woi'th may emerge.
From time to time we have been
sorely tempted to follow some of
these opinions and suggestions but
lurking in the background is the
specter of a few libel suits which
stifle that impulse. It would be an
interesting experiment, however,
and probably would attract unex
pected attention.
“We have- published lengthy
accounts of marriages filled with
the purity of lilies of the valley
and ivory satin, and we deleted
the shotgun that was hidden in
the offing. We have helped to
send the departed soul directly
through the portals of Heaven
when we entertained the gravest
doubts.
“Despite objurations to follow
the truth always, we have pub
lished words of praise for the pa
triotism and high ideals of politi
cal candidates when we knew that
they would have little difficulty
in walking under a snake’s belly
in a wagon track, even while
wearing a silk topper. We have
insulted the memories of the Thes
pian and operatic greats by our
effusions about amateur perfor
mances which should have re
funded the price of admission.
“But somehow we cannot help
but think that by our elastic code
we have made things a little more
smooth here and there for some
>'
one who otherwise might have
been hurt.
“In conclusion we would like to
state that we continue to run our
newspaper much as we have been
doing in the past years, and that
we have a wastebasket that holds
one bushel daily into which we
expect to continue to drop that
which does not fit our creed. We
lay no claim to infallibility, but
we stand four-square behind any
unsigned article we publish. We
thank you, one and all, for your
advice, and we may come around
one of these days and tell you
how to run your business.”
$100,000 Loss Uninsured
In Annette I. Sawmill Fire
KETCHIKAN, UP)—A fire that
destroyed the all-electric sawmill
at the Indian cooperative commu
nity of Metlakatla on Annette Is
land was reported here Wednes
day.
The loss was estimated at $100,
000. There was no insurance.
Six nearby homes were men
aced before the fire was extin
guished two hours after it broke
out. Metlakatla firemen were aid
ed by Coast Guard and Civil
Aeronautics Administration fire
trucks. The firefighters were ham
pered by low water pressure, due
to the cold weather.
Dimes, Friends
Aid 4 in Family
Felled by Polio
A Kansas farmer has discovered
that a good neighbor in time of
need is more valuable than silver
and. gold.
Robert Stahl and his family
were saved from heartache and
tragedy by the action of good
neighbors.
Stahl, his wife and four chil
dren were busy on their 127-acre
farm near Wichita, Kans. last
summer—getting set for the fall
harvesting when polio struck.
First, little 3-year-old Troy
came down with the disease. Then
Ronald, who is 10, contracted
polio. A few days later, Charles,
12, and Patsey, 14, also went on
the sick list.
Finally, Mrs. Stahl herself was
afflicted.
The whole family was moved
to St. Francis hospital, Wichita,
leaving Stahl alone on his farm.
For a while, he didn’t know
what to do. The financial burden
had been lifted through March c~
Dimes funds but the burden cf
work remained.
Then his neighbors volunteered
to take over his farm until the
family was out of danger.
These neighbors pitched in and
Stahl went to town. For days,
he kept a vigil at the bedsides of
his wife and children.
With the continued help of that
other good neighbor, the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly
sis. the family began to improve.
Stahl went back to his farm
comforted by the knowledge that
his family was being cared for.
His neighbors had done a won
derful job of keeping things going
on the farm. So he was able to
carry on.
Today Mrs. Stahl and three of
the children are fully recovered.
Charles, the 12-year-old, still has
one partially paralyzed leg but
Mrs. Stahl hopes he too will soon
be well.
“Then maybe,” she said, “it’ll
all seem like just a bad dream.”
The National Foundation hopes
so, too. That’s why it has launched
a huge polio prevention program
involving gamma globulin and a
trial vaccine. If the program suc
ceeds, families like the Stahls
may be free of the polio threat
forever.

Doubleheader Basketball
Games Tonight At Gym
The three town teams will see
plenty of action tonight in the big
doubleheader scheduled for the
high school gym as Lomen Com
mercial (1-1) meet the Air Force
Five (0-2) at 7:00 p.m.
In the second tilt, beginning
around 8:15, the undefeated Nome

warm-up pants just received a
few days ago. The pants are white
with blue trim down each outside
leg and have cuffs. Nome is now
one of the better dressed high
school teams in the territory.
‘Thimderhead,’
In Technicolor,
Coming Sunday
Mary O’Hara’s best-loved novel,
“Thunderhead—Son of Flicka,”
will be the attraction at the Thea
ter Sunday. This Twentieth Cen
tury-Fox encore triumph, filmed
in Technicolor, with Roddy Mc
Dowall, Preston Foster and Rita
Johnson heading the cast, is a
sequel to “My Friend Flicka.”
The picture’s tremendously ex
citing action sequences were pho
tographed against the beautiful
background of America’s colorful
western mountain ranges. Famed
Bridal Veil Falls and the rugged
Oregon Gorges are the scene for
much of the film. Utah’s fabulous
Bryce Canyon is shown for the
first time in the picture and the
impressive grandeur of Zion Na
tional Park spreads out in a pan
orama of vari-colored majesty be
fore the Technicolor cameras. The
fantastic formations of Red Rock
Canyon and Cedar Breaks Nation
al Monument are backgrounds for
the picture’s stirring climax. All
this beauty is used to heighten
dramatic effect and makes “Thun
derhead—Son of Flicka” a spec
tacle of eye-filling splendor.
Also included in the brilliant
cast in the picture are James Bell,
Diana Hale, Carleton Young and
Ralph Sanford. Louis King direc
ted the production which was pro
duced by Robert Bassler from the
screenplay by Dwight Cummins
and Dorothy Yost.
