Morocco is a country of contrasts—-the old andthe new. Above is a general view of Rabat, withtypical, crowded Moroccan architecture. Below isa view of Casablanca's striking modern buildings.

BY HENDRIK de LEEUW

Mr. de Leeuw, who was born inHolland, come to this country in 1912and has been a citizen since 1923.He has traveled widely throughout theworld and for many yeors was ForEast representative of the Firestonetire company. During the war he washead of the Netherlands Section ofOffice of Wor Information. He is theauthor of several books about foreigncountries, including "Crossroads of theMediterraneon," covering North Africa.

French morocco has been a caldron of conflicting interests and an

achronisms for as long as one can remember. And today, in the nationalist strugglefor independence, it has become thecenter of a ferment which has deep implications, not only for the North Africanscene but for the U.S. as well, since wehave five strategic air and naval bases,and a contingent of about 14,000 menthere. These sprawling mammoth basesmay well play a decisive role in any conflict, as they are located roughly 2.500miles from Moscow, or four hours' flyinglime for modern bombers, and withinstriking distance of the Russian oil fields.Therefore, it is to our own interest, loo,that French Morocco remain stable.

The conflicting interests behind theimplications are: the French themselves,who hold the ultimate authority over thenative ruling class; the Sultan, spiritualleader of millions of Moslems; thePashas, remaining feudal lords who rulethe people in the towns; the Caids.who lord it over the country regions; andlast but not least, the Nationalists, whoare pledged to keep up the strugglefor the complete independence of Morocco from the French, in accordance witha pact signed in Tangier on April 9, 1951.

During my recent visit to North Africain my interviews with General AugustinGuillaume, then Resident General ofFrench Morocco, and with the famousPasha, colloquially known as the Black

All caddies carry the golfer's bag, but in tournament golf the

caddy is a henchman, a party to the side, a factor in winning.

BY CHARLES PRICE

ILLUSTRATED BY BOB RIGER

WHEN three quarters of a centuryago a golf pro named Andrew Kir-

kaldy was challenged by an English proto a match on the Old Course at St. Andrews. Scotland, he decided he had better hire the shrewdest caddie in town.Unfortunately, this was a man named PigHutchinson with whom Kirkaldy was noton speaking terms. Swallowing his pride.Kirkaldy hired him anyway. As theytrudged around the course, Pig selectingthe clubs and placing them in Kirkaldv'soutstretched hand, not so much as aglance was exchanged between themuntil they reached the eigliteenth fairway. At this point the silence was brokenwhen, the match even and the pressureintense, Kirkaldy nervously shanked amashie shot out of bounds. He turned toPig beseechingly, "My foot slipped," heblurted. "My foot. I tell you it slipped,mon," Pig spat on the turf. "No, Andrew.It was not your foot that slipped. 'Twasyour heart that slipped."

To a golfer whose experience withcaddies has only been with mere hag-toters, this reply by Pig Hutchinson maysound highly irreverent. However, there

are caddies and then there are caddies.In the first place, the term itself comesfrom cadet, which is French for kidbrother. Like kid brothers, caddies—realcaddies—look for bigness in the heroicsense of the word, for a golfer who cankeep his heart within his breast. Whena certain pro blew the Texas Open thisyear, Jimmy Demaret asked the caddiewhat had happened. "He was chokin',"said the boy, "when he shoulda beenstrokin'."

Of course, all caddies carry the golfer's bag and watch where his ball goes.That's academic. But in tournament golfthese duties are probably the least important functions of a caddie. More importantly, he is a henchman, a party tothe side, as essential to a championshipgolfer as a clever second is to a heavyweight contender. At St. Andrews for theBritish Open starting on the Fourth ofJuly will be a caddie named Cecil Timms.In the past four years Timms has cad-died for two Open and two British Arna-teur champions, a feat which all experienced tournament players look upon assomething more than just coincidence.

Back in the game's champagne daysthere was a young man named Clark"Spec" Hammond who was a combinationcaddie extraordinaire and brother-confessor to Waher Hagen. Hammond waslater to become an official with the PGA'sTournament Bureau. Today he knows asmuch about caddies as anyone in America. "A good boy doesn't have to 'club'a man," explains Hammond. "That is, hedoesn't actually have to tell the playerwhat club to use. But if, for example,the player wants to use a sjioon to gethome and the boy knows he can't makeit, somehow or other he should get himto use a brassie. Just how he goes aboutall this depends upon how good a ead<Iiehe is, and vice versa.

"Then, too, you gotta keep spectatorsoff a pro's back. Nowadays they got themroped off almost to the parking lot, butthey used to stand right on top of a pro.Some fellow was liable to ask for an autograph in the middle of his backswing.

"A good deal of a boy's work can beoff-course. Sometimes you gotta drive apro's car or keep his clothes. In the olddays the jiros wore mail-order shoes. Us

A good caddy doesn't have to "club" a player. That is, he doesn't actuallyhave to tell o pro what club to use—but he always should know what's needed.

caddies sometimes had to break 'em in."Hammond's old boss, the bumptious

Hagen, thought an English caddie wasso instrumental in winning one of his fourBritish Opens that he endorsed his prizecheck and gave it to him. Lawson Littlewas so grateful to his caddie in winningthe 1940 National Open that he sent himto college. More recently, when Ed Fur-gol won the Open at Baltusrol last year,he gave his caddie a Sl.OOO tip.

While a pro will acknowledge his debtto a caddie in deeds like this, he is awkward about doing it in words. Once a prohas won a championship and is lookingforward to some profitable endorsementsand personal appearances, it doesn't payhim to advertise the fact that someone

else had a hand in it. As games go, golfcan be very much a business. Additionally, some individualists, like Ben Hogan,have learned from hard experience thatit is wiser not to depend on caddies atall. There are good caddies and bad caddies, and once you have run into a badone—well, after you've eaten a bad clam,it's a long time before you can work upan appetite for chowder.

"I've spent thirty years putting mygame together," says Hogan. "Do youthink I'm going to let some stranger tellme what to do with it?" Says Lloyd Man-grum, another who prefers to go it alone,"When the time comes I have to dependon a caddie to pick my clubs, I'll carrythe bag and let him play."

All Sessions of the Grand Lodge will be held in air-conditioned Convention Hall.There are ample hotel facilities and we will see that you are comfortably located.

Philadelphia is historically rich, but particularly come to see Independence Hall withits most gorgeous Mall and landscaping. To accomplish this great project we have removed all of the buildings to the north of the Hall at a cost in excess of Three HundredMillion Dollars.

I invite you to come to our city, worship with us, and enjoy a marvelous program of unusual interest and entertainment. In this troubled, heart-sick world you willgain much inspiration and you will return to your home determined to raise Elkdom'sbanner higher than ever—inspired by Patriotism and Loyalty and the Forward Marchof America and our Order.

With the imposingCapitol Building behind them, two Washington State Elks arepictured with one ofthe four mobile units

these Elks are operating throughout theState, to bring important therapeutic training into the homes ofWashington's littlecerebral-polsy victims.At right is Edwin J.Alexander, Chairmanof the Lodge ActivitiesCommittee of the

Grand Lodge; at left isGilbert Olson, retiringE.R. of Olympia Lodge.

"TEAMWORK is the basic principleI underlying the operation of the Clin

ic," was a statement contained in a reportmade by Doctors H. M. Moser and M. J.Mecham on the Ohio Elks' projecl. Dr.Moser is the Director of the Ohio StateUniversity-Ohio Elks Cerebral-Palsy-Aphasia Clinic, and Dr. Mecham is itsSiii)ervisor.

Teamwork seems to be the bywordthroughout Elkdom. when it comes totaking care of these children—particularly in the State of Washington.

Mecham, Supervisor, Ohio ElksC-P Aphasia Speech Clinic; Medical Specialists Chairman, Dr. Russell Means; Norman Parr andPaul Fletcher of the Elks' Committee, and Dept. of Speech Chairman, Prof. W. H. Yeager.

Adopted as its Major Project only twoyears ago, the Washington Elks Assn.'scerebral palsy program is in high gear,with its fourth mobile unit beinglaunched this month. Each unit consistsof a new Ford ranch-wagon, fullyequipped for therapeutic work and operated by a well-trained graduate physicaltherapist. It is estimated that 812,000just about covers the expense of fieldingeach unit during the initial year of opera-tion, including the outlay for the car andequipment, with a decrease in operatingcosts as time goes on.

OTHER PHASES COVERED

While this represents a tremendousfinanciaJ burden lo these 53.000 Elks,they have assumed even more expense—they offer annually six therapy scholar-shi])s to deserving students desiring to gointo tlierapeutic work, at a total of $5,000a year, and nut long ago they repurchased at S25,000 the erstwhile ElksConvalescent Home they'd given yearsago to the Seattle Orthopedic Hosiiital.When the Orthopedic Assn. coin|)leted itsnew multimillion-dollar building recently,that organization felt a moral obligationto offer the Home to its original owners.Appraised at $87,000, the handsome gray-stone, 60-bed, fully-furnished mansion,located in a densely jjopulated area onSalmon Bay, is being leased l)y theWashington Elks at $1.00 a year to theState branch of the United CerebralPalsy I'oundation; it is now being usedby the Foundation as a C-P Rehabilitation Center.

High praise for this well-i)rguni.'::-d i>ro-gram has been heaped upon llit; Eiws bymedical and civic aiitlKirilies llirouguoiilthe area. Dr. John Kahl, Director of theState Dept. of Health, for instance, saidrecently: ""A lot of people and organizations have talked about doing somethingfor the cerebral-palsied children in thehome-town and non-metropolitan field,but the Order of Elks is the first organization to do something physical about it...

AMERICA REAPS

A Message from the Grand Exalted Ruler

I HE month of June provides us with the opportunity toattain the final objective in our Gold Star Certificate Program and to fulfill one of the requirements of GrandLodge Statutes by the observance of Flag Day on June14. We are the only fraternity that has made the observance of Flag Day mandatory, but even more than a duty,it is a privilege to observe Flag Day for it gives us theoccasion to demonstrate our loyalty to our American formof government, our loyalty to our chosen leaders, ourrecognition of the fact that eternal vigilance is the priceof liberty.

Current events make us fully conscious of the greatneed of more fervent and sincere patriotism—not thechauvinism which raises the banner on Flag Day, takesit down at dusk and puts it away in a closet along withour sentiment of patriotism to lie dormant until the nextholiday. No, we aim for the kind of patriotism whichmakes each citizen aware of his duties and obligationstoward his home, his community, his state, his country;the kind of patriotism which dictates to our consciencethat we attempt to right the .wrongs, that we so livethat our neighbors may live in harmony and a spirit ofcooperation; the kind of patriotism that recognizes thepotentialities of our youth, that makes us vow that thesefuture citizens shall be raised in a country devoted tothe heritage of her past—the heritage of freedom, the

heritage that makes each man a brother, the heritage thatleads us to act as we would be acted toward.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks can andmust assume leadership in a world that can so easily bedestroyed by the triumph of evil ideologies. One of theways by which we can demonstrate our devotion to ourcountry is by conducting fitting and impressive ceremonies on Flag Day which will show our neighborsand friends that we stand strong for the right, that werevere our banner and our history, that we have faithand confidence in our nation's future, and that we havethe determination, the skill, the ambition and the desire

to make that dream of a better America, a better world,come into reality.

Let each lodge therefore put forth the greatest possibleeffort to present to its community a Flag Day ceremonythat will inspire each citizen to recognize his privilegesunder this banner and to accept his responsibilities andduties that are an inherent part of democracy. Let ouractive patriotism become the seed which we will sow andnourish until all of our citizens are united in a determination that the principles of democracy shall flourish andexpand until all the world is united in peace and brothei--ly love, for,

"AS ELKDOM SOWS, AMERICA REAPS."

Quincy Lodge is one of Colifornia's youngest, but it'sright up with the rest of them when it comes to participation in the Hides for Vets program, it has shipped200 hides to a tannery for processing by the Calif. ElksAssn. Committee and has another 50 ready. Here, E.R.Arthur Myers, right, and Committee Chairman LewisBarr help a truckman load the hides for shipment.

Ted Trueblood tells why he would rather catch

one frouf on a dry fly than ten any other way.

The boy in theservice station

said the fishing wasred hot in the boxcanyon on the NorthFork. Then I stoppedat a country store to

buy some groceriesand got to talkingabout fishing to the

proprietor. He said, "I have somethingto show you."

We went back to his freezer and hepulled out a rainbow that weighed alittle better than seven pounds. He said,"I got him out of the box canyon on theNorth Fork."

When I parked my car beside the boxcanyon there were already a dozen othersthere. I walked out to the edge of thebasalt cliff so that I could look down onthe stream as I pulled on my waders andset up my tackle. The water looked good,but it was well populated—at least byfishermen.

I found a spot where I could climbdown to the level of the stream and another where there was room to fish. ThenI noticed that the salmon (stone) flies•were hatching. I couldn't see any rises,but I knew that when these big. clumsyinsects are coming off many of them fallinto the water and flutter frantically trying to get out as they float along. Bigfish love them. A big dry fly that mightlook to a trout like a fluttering stone flyseemed a good bet.

I tied one on and began to cast. Halfan hour later I was still casting. Tlieother anglers, most of whom were usingbait or spinning lures of various kinds,were rushing up and down the shore andfishing out into the river as far as theycould reach. It appeared quite obviousthat whatever fish were close enough forthem to cover must be suffering from anacute case of nerves. No wonder they•wouldn't strike!

I began looking for spots that werehard to reach. I soon found one. It wasa pocket behind one rock and in front ofanother on the other side of the river.It was only about three feet wide and tenlong, but it was the kind of water thatbig fish like. Whatever fish might be in it•would not have been frightened by spinning lures and gobs of salmon eggs.

I waded as far into the river as I couldand then began trying to reach thepocket. It was just about as far as I could

cast and the situation was further complicated by the fact that the current between me and it was quite swift. In orderto float my dry fly properly, I had tomend my cast as soon as the line touchedthe water. If I didn't throw a big loopof slack upstream the current wouldquickly pull the fly out of the good areawhere I was.

After trying for possibly twenty minutes, I finally succeeded in doing everything just right. The dry fly bobbed saucily along for five or six feet and then itdisappeared in a heart-stopping swirl. Istruck and instantly a heavy fish racedaway downstream.

IFINALLY landed apink-sided rainbowthat weighed exactly three pounds and

returned to the spot from which I hadbeen casting. Once again I resumed myefforts to float a dry fly properly downthe inviting pocket on the other side ofthe channel. Once again it took me fif-

teen or twenty minutes to succeed indoing everything just right. When I finally did, another fish struck. This time,however, the swirl looked as though ithad been made by a salmon. I set thehook and came up solid against him. Icouldn't budge him. Everything wasstatic for several seconds. Then he turnedand deliberately swam downstream onthe far side of the rock.

I tried my best to turn him before hereached it, but I soon felt the leadergrating around the granite. Then I easedthe tension and attempted to flip my lineclear. I couldn't do it. He swam downstream two or three yards and then, Ipresume, he turned and headed into thecurrent. I was powerless to move him.He would neither swim upstream nor goon down. I held for possibly a minute,waiting for him to make up his mind, butwhen he seemed determined to remain

motionless I began to increase the pressure. I pulled harder and harder. Eventually the leader broke.

Obviously, I'll never know how big thattrout was, but I had just landed onethat weighed three pounds. I didn't have

A good fish, such as Ted has here, is more fun when it is taken on a fly rod.

for Elks who

Convention visitors to Philadelphia in July

come to a State rich in history and scenery,

BY HORACE SUTTON

ILLUSTRATED BY TOM HILL

For those traveling types who will beconvening in Philadelphia in .Tuly

for the Grand Lodge Convention andbreathing Brotherly Love and liberty inthai headquarters of those sentiments.,we have gathered a number of ideas fortrii)s in the surrounding landscape.

I shall leave for other quills the storyof wiiat's to be seen inside Philadelphia'scity limits, trusting that the chroniclerhas not forgotten to tell you about Bookbinder's for eating and the businessaround Independence Hall for sightseeing. I will say no more other than that anIndependence iNational Historic Projectis in the works and that it will take ina number of prime historical buildingsrunning for several blocks in two directions from Independence Square.

However, for those heading out of thecity on excursions. I would first pointout the matter of route number 30 whichswings west of Philadelphia bound inexorably for Lancaster and beyond. Firstof all, there is Valley Forge which, to besure< is one of the most venerated spotsin all America. It is located about eightmiles from Norristown. which is a Phila-deli)hia suburb. There is a small museum

at 18 Last Penn St. in Norristown, butthe area of Washington's bitter encampment in the freezing winter of 1777 and]778 is enclosed within a state-run parkof over 2.000 acres. The government haserected a National Memorial Arch, a$100,000 memorial to commemorate the

ordeal, and a portion of one of Washington's repoits is lettered on it:

space before, but for those who missedit and would consider the Lancaster areaas a point of excursion from the Philadelphia Convention we will hold a slightreview.

The Pennsylvania Dutch emigratedhere from 1683 until the American Kevo-lution, mostly from Alsace, Germanyand Switzerland. They speak their ownpatois to this day and flavor Engllsli withsuch words as ferhuddled and fermixt,all of which mean "mixed up." TheAmish dress in big black hats, wearbeards if tliey are married, use no buttons, own no cars or phones and travelabout in strange wagons. The BrunswickHotel in Lancaster is positively encasedin Pennsylvania Dutch lore and also hasorganized a series of Pennsylvania Dutchweek-ends which include guided lours by

bus into tlie heartland of the jjlain peopleand including visits to tiieir homes andworkshops. As a random point of addedinterest for those getting up to NewYork, just an hour and forty minutes onthe fast train from Philly. a bright newmusical called "Plain and Fancy'' is onthe boards, all about the PennsylvaniaDutch. Just one of the many hits carriedover into the summer season.

By following the Route 30 road westward for about another fifty miles (117miles from Philadelphia) the travelerwill come to Gettysburg National Military Park organized in 1895 to commemorate the momentous battle of the CivilWar which was fought with such disastrous results on the first three days ofJuly 1863. Lee's daring thrust into Northern territory came up from the Slienan-doah Valley, hoping to deliver a crushing ,defeat and to permit the South to sue for .its independence. Over 75.000 Confeder- |ate troops were committed against 97,000Union troops. When it was over Lee'scasualties were 28.000. and Union lossesin killed, wounded and captured were23,000. Over 3,700 Federals remain interred at Gettysburg in a park that nowcon.sists of 2.548 acres, 26 miles of pavedroads and more than 2,300 markers andmonuments. It takes two hours for a battlefield tour conducted by a licensedguide and the fee is $4, but shorter toursare available for less. You ought to seethe cyclorama depicting Pickett's Charge

Lawrence, Mass., Elks Actfor Child Safety

Designed to protect the city's schoolchildren from degenerates who wouldmolest and harm them, 12,000 pamphletsalerting youngsters and parents to thesedangers have been issued by LawrenceLodge No. 65.

The folder is illustrated with eightpictures warning against strangers, thehazards of wandering al)out alone, particularly in specific areas, and throughoutits pages is the reminder: "Get the license number of the car". The book alsocontains a special message to parents toremind the youngsters of these rules repeatedly, and of the necessity of reporting any untoward incidents promptly toteachers, police, mailmen, bus drivers andto their parents.

The pamphlets were distributed toboth public and parochial grammarschool students. This was followed byvisits, to the schools by members of thelocal police department wlio deliveredshort talks on the purpose of the program and to stress its importance tothe youngsters' safety.

Fire Capt. Wm. J. Mains, now Est.Lead. Knight of No. 65, introducedthe idea of this project to the lodge whosemembers promptly adopted it as part oftheir Youth Activities. To date several

arrests have been made and convictions

secured as a direct result of the pamphlet's reaching both child and parent.Commissioner of Public Safety Louis J.Scanlon, the Lawrence police and itsDept. of Schools, as well as representatives of the Mass. State Elks Assn.. havevoiced deep appreciation to LawrenceElkdom for this splendid project.

with Ed Faust

UNTIL RECENTLY lie's been as independent as a bachelor with a fat an

nuity but aji event that caused him aconsiderable loss has made liim a more

subdued man. While he was away fromhis apartment one night not long ago someperson or persons unknown hroice into itand removed practically everytiiing hutthe paper on the walls. Being one ofthose fatuous people who didn't believein banks, he was. of course, ready madefor the kind of people who look for peo-pie like him. Kesult. someone, somewhereis spending his money and to add to iiisdistress the consensus of ofiinion in ourvillage is that he all but inviled his misfortune. Another but hapjiier result isthat he has become one of the most fon-stant depositors in our local bank. Healso became owner of a dog. "If I'd hada dog." he said to me, "wiuiever bu.stedinto my place wouldn't have gotten veryfar, I'll bet. And I'm training that poochof mine to think burglars are a new kindof dog food."

Before tiie burglary my fricnti wasn'texactly an enthusiast about dogs. In factyou might have called him hike-cohl inhis attttu<le toward them. When he was

advised (o get one he not only welcomedthe suggestion but wanted to go what hethought was all the way and l)uy a policedog. He was reluctantly sleeretl awayfrom that idea. I told him tliat I didn'tknow where he could buy such a dog andeven if I did. I'd not advise him to bringone into his home, tliat lie'd do better tohire the burglars. Among other things Itold him that dogs trained for policework are wholly unsuited as house petsor to occupy anyone's liome for any purpose. Thei]- training disqualifies thembecause primarily they are taught toattack; to gn Into action wlien they discover anything whicli to them seems unusual or warranting suspicion. I doubt ifdogs so trainefl are ever sold to individuals. Certainly I liave never heard of tliisbeing done.

It can be «'asily imagined what the consequences wouUI be if such a purp werelurnefl lofise in the average homo. Novisiting stranger would be safe and if thedog were turned (uit at night to wanderat will, its owner would probably spendthe rest of his life in court on the defendingend of innumerable damage suits. Anydog, wh(!ther |)olice trained or not. ifsehool«-d to he unusually aggressive can

be a 100 per cent headache to a law-abiding citizen. True, as guardians, policedogs have few superiors but the kind ofguarding they are trained to do is directed in channels difTering from guard workin the home.

The average alert and courageous dogas a house pet can be trained for allguarding purposes needful for the average home. As a matter of fact, the dogneed not be over-burdened with courage:if he's prompt to sound an alarm whendetecting an intruder that's enough.

Housebreakers retreat from noiseof even a small dog as quickly as

they would from a platoon of police. Thelast thing they seek is attention whilethey work and a small dog. or any kindof barking dog. can arouse an entireneighborhood. As guardian, of course thelarge, warlike pooch is required. But evensuch dogs have to be trained to refusefood (possibly poisoned) from strangersand if circumstances permit the intruder

who is armed to use a gun, the dogstands little or no chances.

The police dog kept in the home wouldhave to be muzzled at all times, in thehome or when taken out for exercise. Thetraming the canine policeman gets is inwork highly specialized but that trainingis . necessarily super-imposed on initialobedience training. First the dog has tolearn to come when called. To rangeahead of the policeman with whom itworks or to walk quietly at the man'sside at command. It must learn to liedown when told, to remain quietly seatedor standing ^^ntil it is given i)erniissionto move forward, to commanded to retreat.

As was stated by Victor Moench of theProfessional Dog Trainers Association ofAmerica, dogs accepted for training mustbe more than one year old. In addition tobeing alert and aggressive the dogs mustbe reasonably intelligent and of steadytemperament, not over-nervous nor easily

TOTES

UNCLE SAM has been bragging toomuch about our marvelous safe

guards for national defense. Word hasgone out from the White House, thePentagon and other departments to "'clamup" on news which contains informationharmful to national security. USA citizens have always been told how theirmoney for defense is spent. This information is good public relations in a freecountry. It helps in securing the billionsof dollars in appropriations from Congress and gives America prestige at homeand abroad as -the greatest nation onearth. Government press informationofficers make new? releases a.s completeas possible to let the public know bystories. TV, movies and pictures justwhat's going on. In recent months topofficials say too many "know how" secretshave been revealed. There have been

amazing details about the "Nautilus", theNikis. nuclear bombs, radar and lots ofother thing?;. Moreover, this nation hasnew and startling models of planes, guns,tanks, ships and missiles now coming intothe testing stage. People will be kept informed but more caution will be taken tocover important details. Behind thescenes the struggle between reporters whowant the news and officials who taketheir orders too literally continues. Notso long ago a newspaper here had difficulty trying to find out the exact numberof Chaplains in the United States Army.Information for an obituary of a MarineCorps Brigadier General came out withmarkings showing it had been submittedfor "review and clearance" before beingreleased. These are extremes, of course.In this country "censorship" is an uglyword and every effort is made to upholdthe freedom of the press. However, indoing so we sometimes go too far.

MEET THE JIMTONS

Canvassers are at work on a new citydirectory for Washington and chances areit won't contain the name of Gilbert.limton and his wife. Grace, who live at208 Ansonia St., N.W. Mr. Jimton, according to the present directory, operatesa grocery at 247 Item Ave., N.W. Ansonia Struct is listed as extending from2-1-6 Item Avenue to Starkton Avenue. Noone has ever seen the Jimtons. Truth isthey d(m't exist. Nobody lives at 208Ansonia Street because there is no such

38

house and no such street. The grocerystore also is all imaginary and so is ItemAvenue and Starkton Avenue. Publishers

of the directory have other families in thebook, too, who never answer their phonyphone numbers. They are listed, verycasually but cleverly, so that promoterswho attempt to lift lists of names out ofthe copyrighted book can be trapped.Mr. Jimton and his wife, Grace, undoubtedly will have moved out of the citywhen the new directory is printed butsome of their imaginary friends will belisted, with complete information andwith imaginary children going to animaginary school.

CRYSTAL NEWS GAZERS

Political maneuverings are so confused some members of the NationalPres-s Club huvu organized the "Clear andOpaque Club". When anybody tries toexplain any mixup the answer is "Yes.1 know that." Membership is growing.Your reporter Is president—so is everyother member.

NEED FOR BLOOD

Federal Civil Defense reports that inthe first 72 hours after a nuclear attackthe nation would need the blood supplyof eight normal months. A casualty loadas high as 5,000,000 would need 9,775,-000 units. A transfusion unit is slightlymore than a pint.

LAND OF THE FREE

The government has finished an inventory of all the land we own and itadds up to 405 million acres, or one fifthof the whole country. Land, buildingsand facilities cost 30 billion and thisdoesn't include national parks and forests. Interior Department owns over 50per cent of the land with Agriculture second with 41 and Defense with five percent. Nevada tops the list of states, withUncle Sam owning 61.477,000 of the70.264,000 acres, or 87.4 per cenL Iowais low with only three per cent of its landowned by the U.S. Now that the inventory has been made, it will be keptup lo date.

AT 165 MILLION MARK

The big population clock in the lobbyof the Commerce Dept. shows U.S. totalpopulation is now estimated at 165,-

000,000. It registers one birth every eightseconds, one death every 21, one immigrant arriving every two minutes and oneemigrant departing every 24. Keeps pretty accurate "time" too, considering theproblem.

WHITE HOUSE CRAMPS

Those who have business with theExecutive branch of the governmentrealize the White House is entirely toosmall to serve present needs. When anyPresident, however, even suggests an addition, a storm of protest is raised.

Panther of Marrakech, I tried to get theanswer to the question whether the Nationalist's will gain a speedy upperhandin their freedom struggle. I also soughtadditional information about the underlying causes for the ferment and theaspirations of the nationalists, torch-bearers in tliis frantic struggle for Moroccan independence.

In order to have a clearer picture ofwhat is going on in that strife-riddenland, and for those of us who have littletime to study a World Almanac, let's firstlocate French Morocco more closely andgive a thumb nail sketch of events thatled to the establishment of the FrenchProtectorate. Morocco is actually cut upinto two parts; The French Moroccosection, about the size of our own Stateof California, with 8 to 9 million people,and the Spanish northern zone, about 220miles long and 25 miles wide, huggingthe Mediterranean coast, with one million inhabitants. Tangier, a small segmentof 147 square miles of internationalstatus, is wedged in the Spanish zone,with 170.000 people.

For well over thirteen hundred yearsthe descendants of Mohammed managedMorocco, or Mauretania, as its Romaninvaders called it. Its history pages havebeen bloodstained and checkere^. Barbarous Moorish tribes and other savageh<irdes spilled across the Atlas Mountains. terrorized Europe, conqueredSpain, and founded a civilization whichwas kept alive, while Europe remainedin darkness. In later years Morocco'shistory was inextricably linked with thatof larger European powers. Moroccowas needed by France to render possession of Algeria and Tunisia secure, forFrance's dream of becoming the custodian of a large African empire could berealized only if Morocco was broughtinto her fold.

Morocco, before 1912, was In utterconfusion. Its tribes—mainly the warlikeBerbers, then already headed by thefamous Pasha of Marrakech—were warring against one another and theSultan. To save his throne, the Sultancalled in the French, who had alreadybeen active in Morocco, and who hadinduced the other large Powers to recognize that Morocco lay within the French"sphere of influence." Subsequently, atreaty was signed between the Sultan andthe French that culminated in the establishment of the Protectorate, in 1912.France was given a free hand in Morocco.Tangier was given the status of an international port, while Spanish Morocco,in effect, might well be called a smallprovince, sub-let by France to Spain.

At the beginning of French administration Morocco was in a state of turmoil. The Sultan's authority was extremely vague. France then made thewise move of sending General Lyautey,

Riddle of Morocco(Continued from page 5)

a skilled and understanding administrator and brave soldier, and particularly 'known for his enlightened policy andfriendship to the Berber tribesmen inthe hinterland, to Morocco as the firstResident General, The country then wasdivided into two sections: (a) the fertilearea west of the High and Middle AtlasMountains, and (b) the near desertarea to the East. Lyautey then affirmedhis so-called Berber policy to the (b)section, the region inhabited by the Berber tribesmen, headed then, and stilltoday, by the famous Berber chief, theGlaoui, the Black Panther of Marrakech. His family had been Berber chieftains for centuries and were noted fortheir political astuteness. The Pasha (andhis millions of Berber tribesmen) almostimmediately backed the French. He hasbeen amply rewarded for his prescience.We shall meet the Pasha later.

^NUTWARDLY, Morocco was calmedand controlled without serious hin

drance. Complete pacification was noteffected until the early 1930s, about tlietime when the nationalist movement sawits rise. The French tlien had the wholeof Morocco under control, establishing asystem of government based largely uponlocal custom. Marshal Lyautey preferred

praise of the outstonding Cancer ResearchProject, which has long been the chief concern of Indiana Eikdom, as expressed in aletter from Dr. John D. Van Nuys, Dean ofthe Indiana Univ. Medical Center wheremuch of this work is conducted.

The letter, addressed to Grand ExaltedRuler William J. Jernick and dated March31st, 1955, reads in part:

"It was indeed a pleasure to have youand the officers of the Indiana Elks Asso

ciation as our very brief visitors on theoccasion of your trip to Indiana.' We orevery proud of what the Elks Associationhas done in furthering the work in cancer research in Indiana and it affords us

a great deal of pleasure in being able topoint out the projects that they havesponsored to all visitors that come to theMedical Center campus. I am sure thatyou and all other Elks would take agreat deaf of pride and satisfaction inhearing the comments that ore made byvisitors from other schools and from

abroad. They are almost without exception greatly surprised that a fraternalOrder would sponsor fundamental research in such a generous and consistentmanner."

Dr. Van Nuys refers to the more than$450,000 the Indiana Elks have contributedto this important work during the posteight years.

to collaborate with, rather than dominate,the Berber chiefs. This in itself was a

very wise move, since in Morocco therehas always existed a rivalry between theMoslem factions, and a definite hostilitybetween the urban Arabs and the back-

country Berber tribesmen. True, Lyauteymet force with force.

Historically, we know that the firstpeople to enter recorded history in Morocco were the Berbers, a fact of no littleimportance, since Berber stock does nowpredominate. These Berbers were anAryan or "white" race, most of them exhibiting South-European characteristics,but others again of obvious Nordic admixtures. Berbers and Arabs thereforediffer in physical, culture and mentalcharacteristics. Still, the Berbers embraced Islam and were associated withArabs in some of the "holy wars" of conquest. In the mountain areas, where millions of Berbers reside, they are governed, as it were, by the Pasha and hisunderlings the Caids. It is here that theBerbers, to an amazing degree, have retained their racial purity and customs ofcenturies ago.

This brings us to the Sultan, a manwho, regarded as a direct descendant ofthe Prophet, and wielding a tremendousinfluence over the millions of Moslems,still has but nominal authority. Residingin the international city of Tangier, theSultan has his own Shen-e/ian or Sultanicgovernment, known also as the Makhzen.The Sultan retains control over the Kor

anic or religious Moslem education. Moslem law and all Moslem religious issues.The true ruler, however, is the FrenchResident General. There also exists anembryo National Council, with equallylimited powers, however. Measures initiated by the Resident General cannotbecome law until approved by the Sultan,that is, if he does not cai'e to take therisk of being obdurate. A recent innovation has been also the institution of aCouncil of Ministers, with advisorypowers. The Sultan's nominees then actas liaison officers with the French.

The decrees of the central authorityare administered by the Pashas in thetowns, and the Caids, in the countryregions, each again with a French con-trolleur, or some sort of overseer at theirside. Even when the French official isonly advisory, he is still the ultimate authority.

This makes for a rather equivocalpolitical situation in Morocco. While nota colony but merely a protectorate, Morocco in actual fact has a status that differs little from that of a colony, as theeffective power of the Sultan and hisGovernment is restricted and the country's real ruler is the French ResidentGeneral. All this, of course, is gristin the nationalist mill of grievances.

Now the real nationalist movement in

Queois Elks Attack Juvenile DelinquencyQueens Borough, N. Y., Lodge No. 878

has launched an attack on juvenile delinquency that has been hailed as "an inspirational example for all organizationsto follow". Long under consideration byQueens Elks, the campaign, which willmobilize families and neighborhoods ona broad front, was spurred by the recentwanton shooting to death of a boy by ayouthful hoodlum in another of NewYork City's boroughs.

SIX-POINT PLAN

Plan for the campaign, drafted by theLodge's Youth Committee headed byJudge John F. Scileppi, Chief Justice ofthe Grand Forum and former Chairmanof the Grand Lodge Youth ActivitiesCommittee, has these major points:

1. Stronger disciplinary action by parents of their own children

2. A voluntary curfew .to keep teenagers off the streets and at home atnight

3. Greater participation by parents inPTA and other neighborhood organizations dealing with the problem

4. Neighborhood surveys to determinethe scope of the problems and conditions contributing to it

Morocco saw its rise in 1934, whenFrance restored to the Berber tribes theirown traditional methods of applyingtheir common law, methods that werefar more democratic than those appliedin Arab regions. And when western ideaswere intioduced into a backward state,France tried her utmost to limit themto technical processes and elementaryeducation. That proved totally unworkable, because once a man can read, theworld lies open to him. Moreover, inthose earlier days of nationalistic fervor,all through the Arab countries of NorthAfrica and the Middle East flowed thestrong current of thoughts of freedom—the spirit of discontent, the demand forself determination and political independence, Patriots in Morocco learned agreat deal about self-government, laterdrawing added encouragement from theAtlantic Charter to which the Frenchand other nations had also subscribed. Independence thus was in the cards. Thedays of the old pattern of colonialismwere doomed. The only question remaining was: When would Independence become an accomplished fact in Morocco?

Forty-two years of occupation (since1912) have dug the roots of Frenchmendeep into Moroccan soil, so that Frenchfunctionaires have, as it were, a vestedInterest in French colonialism. Theyhave resented and resisted every suggested reform that could be detrimentalto their own interests. However, it wasin the cards, too, that all colonies, wherever they still existed, perforce would be

5. Machinery to deal privately, on apreventive basis, with individualcases of delinquency

6. Orgeinization of citizens into Neighborhood Minute Men Committees.

Queens Elks moved into action afterDistrict Attorney T. Vincent Quinn andhis assistants had given members of theLodge a shattering picture of the problem of youthful hooliganism. BrotherQuinn's talk was buttressed by exhibitsof weapons, many of them home-made,taken from teen-age delinquents, and theplay-back of a taped recording of the interrogation of a youthful armed robberysuspect. The questioning revealed a homeand community environment classicallyconducive to delinquency.

Immediately following this presentation, the Lodge adopted a resolution presented by the Youth Committee that readin part: ,

". . . we request our entire membershipof 5,645 civic-minded Elks residing inall sections of Queens County to formNeighborhood Minute Men Committeesto urge their neighbors to exercise morehome discipline; to enforce voluntarycurfews with their own children; andto organize community action to elimi

liquidated—some more quickly thanothers, where it might take years to prepare the people for the event, as in Morocco, where there are complicated issuesoccasioned by racial tensions and lack oftrained leaders. Yet time would not befar off when each so-called colony or protectorate would be accorded independence, in conformity with the well-knowntraditional self-determination for all peoples.

Colonies, we have so far seen, havealso served as an effective back-drop forcommunists to work on, and the "independence slogan" has proved so far to bethe most powerful weapon of this era.The Moroccan nationalists have not lefta stone unturned to use this slogan totheir best advantage.

In 1934, a group of young Moroccanintellectuals in Paris drew up, with thehelp of politicians in French left-wingparties, a "Plan for Moroccan Reforms,"demanding a strict application of theprotectorate treaty; diminuition ofFrench power; admission of Moroccanson equal terms to all administrativeposts; the formation of a Moslem National Assembly, and the use of Arabicas the official language of Morocco. Thislast suggestion, if it had been applied,would have divided the country even moreeffectively.

It is only fair to say that the Frenchbrought to Morocco reforms in administration, justice, education and agriculture. The French §lso gave Morocco apeace which It had not known for a hun

nate conditions that may be conduciiv^to juvenile delinquency".The Lodges action was lauded by Dis

trict Attorney Quinn, who declared that,"Juvenile delinquency has been a matterof grave concern to all law enforcementagencies of our city. There has been endless conversation about its causes. I amespecially gratified with the forthrightand positive action taken by my ownlodge. Queens Elks are setting an inspirational example for all organizations-to follow. This community-level programpoints the way to a solution of the problem of teen-age crime".

Exalted Ruler William C. Eisenhardtpromised the District Attorney that everyresource of the Lodge will be used tomake the program effective throughoutthe Borough.

"Queens Lodge has met many othercivic problems successfully and, while thisis more serious and more complicated, Iam confident that we can and will meetthe problem of juvenile delinquency justas successfully". Brother Eisenhardt toldthe meeting. "The problem is aggravatedby a small minority of young people,whose lack of proper home backgroundhas led them into conflict with society.Our task is to isolate them, so that theywill not contaminate other youngsters,and do everything possible to rehabilitatethem".

dred years or more. Still, withal, theFrench remained strangers in the land,Christians in a Moslem country. Andmore than once Morocco became the football or sport of French politics. Even ifthe French and their regime had beenperfect, the demand for speedy independence would have arisen anyway onthe part of the respective nationalistparties, of which there are four in Morocco, but only one of major importance—^the Istiqlal, which is the extremistparty. The self-declared aim of this partyis self-government but its radical leaderswere banished by the French, followingthe crisis precipitated in 1951 when theexiled Sultan Yusuf demanded revisionof the protectorate treaty of 1912in favorof greater Moroccan self-government.

At first in the early thirties the ideasand aspirations of the Nationalists weremoderate enough. Their membershipwas small, consisting of a number ofeducated men, who then were encouraged by high-sounding polemics of thePopular Front movement in France andby ambiguous promises that remainedunfilled. The collapse of France in 1940also had its effects, and the situation inMorocco then would have become seriousbut for the disunity among the Moors.

The Istlqlal's methods during theseyears were not always very logical ordemocratic. Failing in its aims, it plungedrapidly into exaggerated anti-Frenchpropaganda, with riots, bloodshed, actsof repression, and the usual crop of martyrs in its wake. However, a nationalist

movement does not depend upon aclamoring mob but rather upon its intellectuals, and these were few and farbetween in Morocco. From this writer's

own observations in his travels throughout Morocco, the Nationalists seemed to

lack a real leader who could first rouse

and then control a mob.

A spur that seemed to have greatlystimulated local nationalist ideas was

the Allied landings in North Africa in1942. Even more effective than official

pronouncements like President Roosevelt's Four Freedoms, and the AtlanticCharter, was the very strong influence ofour American soldiers. They not onlybrought freedom, but a democracy, andby their greatly improved living standards showed that theirs was a systemthat could bring handsome dividends,something so different from Moroccanstandards—and communism.

There was also something else that inspired the Nationalists in their quest forliberty, and that emanated from an evenhigher source. The then ruling SultanYusuf appeared to have been greatlyimpressed by a wartime incident occuringat the time in Morocco. As the Alliedpersonages met for the Conference atCasablanca, in 1943, ex-Sultan Yusufbad a private chat with President Roosevelt. The President, speaking then froman Atlantic Charter brief, is said to havedenounced colonialism and to have promised to do his best to assure Morocco'spost-war independence, as he made sympathetic references to the Moroccan people. Roosevelt is said to have stated thathe was keenly interested in the questionof ultimate Moroccan independence. Noone can blame the Sultan if, dazzled andImpressed by the great personality ofthe famous American visitor, he overestimated the api)lications of the sentiments thus diplomatically expressed. Because, hitherto, all the Sultan's previouscontacts had been under French tutelageand this was actually the Sultan s firstprivate talk with the head of a powerfulstate.

IN CONNECTION with the quest for independence, and the turmoil created,

I was told this story during my slay inMarrakech: A group of United Nationsdelegates from South-American countries had been invited to visit Morocco. Nationalist leaders decided to stagea demonstration to convince the illustrious South American delegates of thejustification of their cause. First theIstiqlal people gathered before the Casablanca Hotel, where the visitors werestopping. A serious clash took place, withmany injured and two killed. Then thedelegation moved to Marrakech. whereanother demonstration was arranged.People from outlying places, joined bylocal dissidents and buttressed by' thecustomary riffraff, looking for loot, threwbricks through the hotel windows, whereupon the hotel manager first phoned thepolice. Remembering then that the Pasha

Ruler of Philadelphia Lodge No. 2,

of Marrakech was also the chief of policeand a judge beside, competent to dealwith such ticklish situations, he called onthe Pasha. The latter sent his force, consisting in this instance of but one man,his major-domo, a very dignified and intelligent Negro. This fellow, I was told,simply mounted the steps of the hotel,addressing the mob in a speech whichwas a model of brevity: "Go home, youscum." And they did. Five minutes laterthe whole affair was over and the major-domo went back to the Pasha to render

his report. Thus again a traditional Moroccan practice was resorted to thatproved successful and was well understood.

SOME local French believed that thisdemonstration was deliberately engi

neered by the Communists. It is, ofcourse, well known that most opponentsof the Istiqlal make frequent use of theaccusation that the Istiqlal is a communist organization. This is definitely false.By no stretch of the imagination could aNationalist be called a Communist. Mostof these people are orthodox Moslemsand to them belief in a materialistic

creed is simply impossible. Not onlytliat, but they disclaim in all sincerityany connection with, or interest in, communistic ideas which, in fact, when carefully examined, are exactly the antithesis of their own. It is not true that

the Istiqlal has communist affiliations.The real state of affairs is that thecommunists have sort of "adopted" theIstiqlal, completely against the latter'swill.

The Communist Party of Morocco,among which is also the French Communist-controlled General Confederation of

Labor (the C.G.T.), believed also to bethe recipient of party orders from theParis Centrale. is simply a branch of theFrencli organization. It" program hasbeen vociferous in its support of Istiqlalclaims to the extent of its denunciation ofFrench imperialism. This involuntaryassociation, as I have already inferred,might prove disastrous for the Istiqlal, asonly a minority of its leaders are awareof its dangers. However, in its anxiety fordrastic action, the Istiqlal lays itselfopen to the charges of collaborating withthe communists, which are very activeamong Moroccan trade unions.

What the communists are cleverly trying to do is to exploit the independenceissue, but their cause is a highly dubious

one because what they really try to dois to make Morocco another satellite of,and in, the communist orbit. And thatwill never happen, since it is highly certain that once Morocco achieves its free

dom goal, the rift between the Istiqlaland the communists will be rapid anddrastic. There is enough sound reasonfor this prediction. The devotion of theArab world to Islam, among educatedand uneducated alike, is too strong topermit Marxism to take a mass hold. InMorocco there is in addition the devo

tion—"this side idolatry"—of all classesto the Sultan, the greatest Moslem ofthem all. Marxism and Mohammedanism

are no more compatible than Marxismand Christianity, and Islamic Moroccois orthodox and devout in its religion.Islam, by its whole spiritual nature andits political and moral code, would neverbe able to come to terms with Marxist

materialism.

Not, of course, that that prevents thecommunists from propagandizing in Moslem countries. Nothing can prevent themfrom giving their embracing support toany cause which suits the policy of theirKremlin masters.

That the Istiqlal will have nothing todo with them is borne out by the factthat in the pact concluded in Tangier, in1951, between the four leading nationalist parties, clause 7 specifically statesthat "the Parties signatory to this pactpledge themselves not to accept the constitution of any united front with theMoroccan communists."

1 found it extremely difficult during mystay in Morocco to get an estimate ofthe strength of the Istiqlal; neither wasI able to gauge the full extent of thecommunist menace, owing to a dissimilarity of opinions. I managed, however,to secure some information from Resi

dent General Augustin Guillaume, whenI visited him at his residence at Rabat.

Kabat, as many an ex-service man willrecall, is the capital of Morocco, theresidence of the Sultan, and of the Sul-tanic or Shereefian government. Considered one of the finest cities, in all NorthAfrica, like most Moroccan places,Rabat has a native and a Jewish section,and a modern area graced by broadavenues, spacious boulevards and welllaid-out gardens. In its busy streets floata babel of dialects, while the place isliterally packed with oriental peopleswho, despite the inroads of our "westerninacliine age and culture" have retainedtheir mysterious, natural and unfetteredcharacteristics, in this city contrasts arevaried, ranging from omnipresent Berbertribesmen from neigliboring Atlas mountain areas, to breezy and good-naturedAmerican service men from adjacent air-force bases.

I retain a most vivid recollection of myinterview with General Guillaume, onetime Attache of the French Embassy inMoscow, great military expert, and a manthoroughly acquainted with, and deeplyconcerned about, the communist menace.

41

The General, who spoke English as wellas his mother tongue, proved to be a mostengaging and colorful personality withan expansive sense of humor, a clearand luminous mind and a capacity foreloquence—traits so common with theFrench.

In his replies to my queries about theNationalist endeavors he made it distinctly clear that the demonstrators and rebelscame from the rural sections, whereas themembers of the Istiqlal were to be foundmostly in the larger towns. To my question whether the Istiqlal, as has been reported, were aided by the communists,he confirmed what I had found out else

where, that the communists adopted thenationalists for their own evil and particular benefits, a matter that the Istiqlalregarded as a most serious and unwelcome liability. He also deplored the factthat the desire for freedom and independence for Morocco had to go hand inhand with murders, riots, strikes and anall-out conspiracy against the French.He also voiced regrets that the people,who now so vehemently decried theFrench, completely ignored the fact thatFrance accomplished great things fromthe very day when the country was inchaos and Marshal Lyautey put an endto the rebellions. He was of the opinionthat there never would be a policy ofscuttle, by France, but that France wouldhand over Morocco gradually as a goingconcern. He agreed that the ultimate objective would be Morocco's independence,but only when the people were able torun it, and the time was propitious.

I gained the impression from what theGenejal said that were independence tobe granted now, and the French wereto withdraw at this very moment, someson of civil war would result, in whichthe southern portion, the section controlled by the Berber Pasha, would secede. In such a sudden withdrawal ofFrench authority it would not be too diih-cult to foresee a complete breakdown ofsociety. And the feuds between tribalfactions, that had been the real stormcenter before 1912, when France steppedin, would be revived.

Of all my contacts in Morocco nonewas more rewarding than my meetingwith the famous Pasha of Marrakech.

No wonder then that I looked forward

with keen interest to the visit with the

Berbe Grand Seigneur, who countedamong his closest friends such notablesas Sir Winston Churchill; the late General Patton and General Bedell Smith.

General Smith said that the Pasha displayed greater natural qualities of leadership than any man he had met duringhis entire career.

Though the aged Pasha, from what Iwas told, was believed to be a stooge orpuppet of the French, he nonethelessis a most formidable power with whomthe French and the Istiqlal have toreckon. The Berber tribesmen—formingbetween 65 to 75 per cent of the Moroccan population—are evei'lastingly loyal

42

to him and to the present Sultan SidiMulai ben Arafa, whom the Pasha andhis tribesmen have helped to put on thethrone in 1953, and whose reign, so far,has been distressingly uncomfortable.The main reason for this is that theMoroccan nationalists still regard thedeposed and exiled potentate Yusuf therightful, spiritual Moslem ruler of allMorocco.

The Pasha, wealthy leader •of fourmillion Berbers, and the man who actually engineered the coup that challengedthe former Sultan's religious role, is morethan an outdated feudal overlord. He isa symbol of the cleavage between countryand town, which is also one of the basicissues of the Moroccan problem. Hispower is vast, and as the Pasha ofMarrakech he is also that city's legal andexecutive authority, subject, of course,to French "advice". The French, andnot without sound reason, have often beenaccused of showing great partialitytoward the Pasha and his millions of Berber tribesmen, much to the detriment ofthe Arabs and Moors in the North and

West. When the French took over in

1912 and started on their "pacifying pene-tration", their first instinct was to abolishthe old feudal system and substitute amore modern judicial one. It soon be-came obvious that such changes wouldbe violently resisted. In fact, if the authority of the Pasha of Marrakech wereto be abolished today, many French divisions would be necessary to keep orderin this Berber land alone.

The Pasha, the most powerful of thelast feudal overlords of this century,

is also head of the Glaoui troup of tribeswhich occupy territory far beyond theAtlas Mountains. Following a series oftribal wars, astute political moves, andjudicial marriages, the Pasha's familyhas become almost omnipotent in the Atlas Mountain area. In fact, his hegemony,as it were, embraces the whole of the

eastern section of the Grand Atlas JMoun-tain range on both the northern andsouthwestern and southern watersheds,known as Glaoui country. Here, overthat vast area of Southern Morocco, theauthority of the Pasha is unquestioned.

This vast expanse of territory, including many of the highest mountain peaksin North Africa, a land scarred by deepvalleys and ravines, a wild land that is sodesolate and arid, with but few fertilepatches, remains under the Pasha's active domination. It is moreover a landof poverty, inhabited by a people accustomed to extreme hardship, internecinestrife and war from the day of theirbirth.

My INTERVIEW had been arrangedat the Pasha's beautiful residence

in Marrakech, second largest city inMorocco, set at the foot of the snowcapped Greater Atlas, and the placewhich Sir Winston Churchill has called"a voluptuous Garden of Allah", whenhe spent a few quiet days there. This ancient southern metropolis, one of thefour imperial Moroccan towns and a famous winter health resort, whosemosques, palaces and exquisite gardenshave been basking in the white desert sunfor many centuries, is also one of theSultan's many residences, and not without reason. Marrakech is one of the mostfantastic places I have ever visited in allmy traveling around the world.

After negotiating a series of mysteriouspassageways, in what is called the Medinaor native section, 1 reached the red-brown, sun-baked walls that shut thePasha's exquisite residence in, where halfa dozen flunkies, with long curved scimitars slung from their shoulders, werestanding guard. After a series of introductions, and much pour-parlers witlisome retainers, I was finally escortedthrough more i)assages to the beautifulgarden and the Pasha's residence. Here1 was taken in tow by another official and

A handshake and a very friendlygreeting with the usual Berber courtesyushered in this interesting meeting.

His manner throughout thelong meeting was extremely gentle, eventhough this may have been misleading,since his reputation is that of a ruthlesswarrior, who held the position he nowcommands by force of Jnis personality.

His replies to my questions, put inFrench, bespoke a great and subtle wit,

AID FOR ANOTHER 104 VICTIMS

The magnificent work of California'sMajor Project Committee which was themodel for the Wasliington program hasbeen covered many times in our pagessince its inception in 1950.

This Committee has four mobile unitsworking out of Eureka, Indio, Auburnand Lancaster, and the fiftli two-station-wagon unit has just been established inFresno County. Of the 229 known C-Pcases there, the 104 which have not as yetreceived special treatment will now begiven care and training by the two therapists who man the unit. The CountyBoard of Supervisors has given gratefulsanction to this project, the latest effortof California's 120,000 Elks who financethe entire venture voluntarily. Their generosity and the success of their famousPiggy-Baiak Program have made it possible for the Committee to expend $172,-424 on this work during the past year.

OHIO PLAN REVISED

Initiated a year ago, the Ohio Elks-Ohio State University Clinic is a slightdeparture from the Association's originalplan to establish regional clinics for thetreatment of C-P victims. Convinced ofthe need of these "forgotten children',when they were given the opportunity toinvest in a facility already prepared togive this service, the Elks altered theirplan and utilized the University's Speechand Hearing Clinic, thereby forming animportant link in the Clinic's "organiccircuit" program. This program is conducted by six part-time graduate therapists and a supervisor who give 25hours a week in professional service, including diagnosis and consultation, onany case brought to their attention by theOhio Elks.

The system followed entails the reporting to his lodge Secretary by anyOhio Elk the name of a child needing

special speech training, with the Secretary notifying the Clinic supervisor whothen arranges an appointment with theparent. However, many initial contactsare made by parents vho have learnedof the Elks' program through outsidesources, such as school authorities andnewspaper stories.

In the first year of operation, the Elks'Clinic has been able to assist 25 youngsters through the careful, conscientiousteamwork of its panel of specialists. TheUniversity's psychologists, speech path-ologists, audiologists and special educators discuss reports on these children'sprogress, adjustment and failures andgive their problems intense study at theirregular staff meetings.

TRIPLE-DIVIDEND INVESTMENT

Every dollar invested in the Ohio Elks'project pays off in triple dividends. TheClinic's major objective is service to theState's children. At present, the specialhelp they need is available in very fewclinics; without the Elks' facility therewould be no help at all for a great manyof them.

The second objective is the training ofspeech therapists of whom there are toofew. Supervised training and experiencein working with cerebral-palsied andaphasic children is one of the speech correction profession's urgent needs.

while occasional sparks of vitality flashedin his seemingly tired eyes. A moment inthe presence of this tribal chief and warrior did not fail to convince me that hereI was face to face with an extraordinaryhuman being, who could be a great andtrue friend, but also a bitter enemy.

After the exchange of a few morepleasantries, the first question asked meconcerned the golf playing of PresidentEisenhower. He, too, was, or had been,an ardent golf enthusiast, in fact, he hada golf course built practically in the verycenter of the desert, and as there was nowater to keep the turf alive, he told mehe had an elaborate system of pipes laidacross scores of miles to the Atlas Moun

tains. Today, of course, he leads the lifeof the Grand Seigneur, now being too oldto play golf. He leaves the playing of golfand the management of the golf links toliis sons.

Though his movements of necessityare more limited now, he continues tovisit the Casablanca and Marrakechshops. Used to traveling a great dealabroad, where he could be seen until veryrecently at Vichy, Aix-les-Bains, lie nowcontents himself with his daily ride inhis Rolls Royce, his constitutionals inhis lovely palace gardens, or with watching the dancers at the Mamounia Hotelin Marrakech.

He wanted to know whether I hadever had the privilege of talking with hisfriend. Sir Winston Churchill, indicatingwith a motion of his hand a presentationset of Churchill's "Memoirs", and a picture of the great British statesman on oneof the tables. It did not take him longto tell me that he was a great admirer ofPresident Eisenhower.

When I managed to put a few questionsto hhn about the Istiqlal, and Nationalism in general, the mere mention of thename made his eyes flash with scornfulanger. Why, more than once he had oc-ca.^ion to reprimand the now banishedSultan Yusuf about the latter's inclination toward the Istiqlal cause. "Morocco."he said, "wants work and common sense,not mere words. It lacks a great leader,and I am getting too old. People heredo not agree among themselves whatthey really want, and if they continuetheir mad schemes they will discover thatwe. the Berbers, have plenty of friends.I know that we can count on thousandsof my tribesmen, and if France shouldever leave here, I know who would be incommand of the country." Pausing for afew moments, he continued. "There isgreat confusion here, with so many parties pretending to be the real master.Peupie say, I am pro-French. Well, I am,because I feel that the French have givenpeace to Morocco, and I am againstthose who would lead this land againinto paths of strife. I know", he said,"that nationalist leaders also- look to theUnited States for sympathetic aid, buthow can they expect aid for a party thatapparently is patronized or aided in someway or other by communists?"

44

I then posed the following question:"Suppose Morocco shoud achieve immediate independence, and a French political party in power were to fulfill thepromises so many government circleshave made, and French troops were withdrawn, what do you thing would happen?" "Civil war, and of course the Nationalists, who do not like me very much,would mark me, or my successors fordeath. But that is not what we would bewaiting for. However, my friend", thePasha added, "The French do not intendto withdraw, and armed revolt is almostimpossible and very unlikely to succeed.The French, whom I honor and admire,have done very well over here, and willdo more, once our people are actuallyready and capable of taking over andrunning the country themselves. Untilthen, the people would be wiser to waitand see and learn the better ways of theFrench. The Istiqlal, as they conductthemselves now, have created a great dealof confusion, and, I ask myself, whatfor? The situation won't improve untilboth sides learn how to get together andmake adjustments. The French to givemore freedom, the radical Istiqlal nationalists to temper their demands. Deeds,not words", he said, "will win out inthe end."

The only ones that wanted independence now were the hotheads, the trou

blemakers, he felt, and of course the communists. "The real Moroccan people,while wanting more liberty and a greatervoice in the running of their country,don't want the sort of trouble to continuethat infests our country again. They arethe ones that want peace before everything else. And as for me," the Pashaconcluded, "I have always sided withthe French, and shall do so always. Theyare my friends."

Now it is a well-known fact that thePasha lias played his cards always withremarkable astuteness, and much of hispower undoubtedly is due to the un

stinted support of the French. It is therefore easy to see that the Istiqlal and therabid nationalists regard him with muchbitterness. They consider them the pillarof the revived, though much antiquated,colonial feudal system, and of its.injustices, both of which, the Istiqlal claim,have stood in the way of their country'sreal progress and ultimate liberty.While feudalism of course has playedno small role in Morocco's earlier turbu

lent history, the Glaoui Berber peoplewere greatly encouraged by MarshalLyautey's policies. He almost bent backwards to strengthen the position of thenative chieftains, and with it the feudalaspect <»f native Berber life. This, theIstiqlal feel, made a fair distribution ofthe country's economic wealth well-nightimpossible.

Before taking leave of the Pasha, Iasked him how he viewed the establishment of our air and naval bases in Morocco. and the presence of so many thousands of our service men there. Heconsidered this a very sound and well-thought-out move, as it w<iuld enable theUnited States to strike quickly with jetsand atomic missiles, should such actionprove necessary.

As I look back now on my recentNorth Africa visit, the battle and conflict between rabrd nationalism andFrance's coh)niaJ jjolicy go i)n unabatedin an atmosphere laden with much anxiety. In order t») enhance their positionwith the Arabs, Moors and Berbers, theFrench do what tliey can to build up thepresent Sultan's prestige and popularitywith no apparent thought in their mindof having him replaced, for they wouldthen have the Pasha and his Berbers toreckon with. The French also try hard,against all odds and impediments fromthe powerful French colonial block, toput through long overdue reforms, in thehope of staving off further bloodshed.Of course, France's ever-recurringchange of Premiers and other governmental troubles may continue to obstructwhatever plans for reforms France mayhave in mind. In my conversations withFrench officials, they all agreed that theFrench promise of Moroccan independence was something definite and would belived up to. Yet, behind all the diplomaticphrases and cliclies one thing stood outclearly: It was not likely to come tomaturity today, tomorrow, or next week.They realized full well that the tide wasrunning, only the time element remainedin doubt.

The reforms that the French have inmind, reforms that would appease theArab Nationalists without antagonizingthe powerful French colonial block, propose to overhaul the government so asto metamorphose Morocco into a modernland. Likewise the judicial system is tobe reconditioned as it were, so that thefeudal Pashas and the Caids would beshorn of most of their executive powers.A transfer of power to the people wouldbe insured with a minimum of economic

"ELKS LODGES GROW DESPITE DISTRACTIONS"When Grand Exalted Ruler William J.

Jernick was at Detroit on March 26th toopen the 35th Annual Elks NationalBowling Tournament, he was interviewedby the "Detroit Free Press" and developed some interesting points about theOrder. "Elks Lodges Grow Despite 'Distractions'," said Mr. Jernick. "The distractions of modern' life don't take anysteam out of traditional organizations, atleast as far as the Elks are concerned,"he continued. "Our membership will increase 50.000 to 60,000 this year and it isnow the highest in our 87 years of exist-

and political disturbance, so it is hoped.The program of education to all wouldbe expanded; more teachers would betrained; more and more Moroccans areto gradually share the administrativetasks; municipal and rural councils,given the customary local powers, wouldbe properly elected; and an entirely legislative program promised to revamp Morocco's civil liberties. All this, the Frenchand rationally-thinking Moroccans hope,should be accomplished not by resortingto violence and bloodshed but by carefully-thought-out and constant and gradual moves.

Thus far. Resident General Francis

ence. Thirty new lodges have been instituted during my administration. Predictions that such distractions as televisionand greater mobility given by modernautomobiles would lure men from lodgemeetings haven't panned out."

Mr. Jernick attributes the increasinginterest to several things. He said peoplelike to belong to a group that is doinggood things and the Elks are reaping thebenefit of their activities over the years."Our lodges are developing along familylines, loo." he pointed out in his addressto Detroit residents.

Lacosle has been fortunate enough tostave off rebellion. This task has not been

made easier by what has been going onin Paris governmental circles. Every newPremier, whoever lie may be. will havehis hands full. Time, however, is of theessence, and the ultimate object independence. Yet Morocco has a long andarduous road to travel before being fullycapable and ready for complete self-government. Jn the meantime cautionseems to be the keynote of France's official Moroccan i)olicy, and France is stillin for some difticult times ahead—beforethe Moroccan Riddle is finally solved,that is.

which is on Baltimore Street near theNational Cemetery.

Now, then, for a totally different typeof Post-Convention excursion, Philadelphia visitors should note that it's only astep or so down to Atlantic City, probably the most popular seaside resort inthe land. No fewer than 15,000.000 visitors come down every year to walk orride the seven-mile long boardwalk andchew on salt water taffy.

As for the taffy, it was said to havebeen discovered accidentally in the year1883 when David Bradley opened a candystand two steps above sand level. A generous wave, one day, doused the standand when a little girl came to buy somecandy, Bradley looked over his wet slockand said, "Salt Water Taffy." The littlegirl called it that too, and eventually,so did everybody else. The filling-looseners are sent back home by the million-boxload every year, making everybodyliappy, especially the nation's dentists.

The boardwalk was Hist put up alongthe Atlantic City seashore back in 1870because guests were traipsing down tothe sands, then soiling the hotel lobbies.In the early days it was rolled up oncQthe season was over and stored in a barn,an item which cost the city an annual tabof some $17. After the boardwalk peopledevised ways of enjoying it without having to walk. That brought on the rollingchair, originally for invalids. Gradually itspread to just anybody who would enjoy

sitting back and being pushed. However,for a number of years a city ordinancewas on the books which prevented morethan one person at a time from ridingin a rolling chair, no matter the presenceimmediately behind the chair of a chaperoning pusher. Well, all those restrictions are gone today, but the rolling chairremains and indeed, some of them are

fitted out with special kind of beneficialglass, and automatic electric motors thatwill send you trundling down the boardwithout the expenditure of human energy.

Atlantic City celebrates flower festivals in July, small boat races and theannual ice shows in mid-summer, and bythe time September rolls around, everything is being shined u|) for the annualMiss America contest. For anyone whowants to unlimber a muscle there are

four-dozen clay tennis courts, four golfcourses, and innumerable pokerino tables. For anyone who wants to unlimbera bankroll there is also a racetrack onhand. If you want to get up with thedawn you can ride a bicycle on the boardwalk from six a.m. until nine. If you wantto stay through the summer, they'll letyou ride a horse on the beach beginningin October. For what I take to be lack

of space, a wide assortment of other divertissements, bands, theaters, zoos andwhat not are stretched out on Atlantic

City's i)iers. Come sun or rain, there'sample attraction to keep the most freneticfully occupied once the meetin's over.

Then,too, there is always the awful possibilitythat he might not have been so big on thescales as he is in my memory!

Dry-fly fishermen are more fortunatethan other anglers. I have often said thatI would rather catch one trout on a flythan ten by any other means. And Iwould rather catch one on a dry fly thanseveral on a nymph, wet fly or bucktail.

According to those who should know,Spain is the least expensive country inwhich to vacation. However, more Americans visit France than any other European country. Evidently what France hasto offer in food, night clubs and other attractions is considered worth the price.If you dislike crowds, August is the besttime to visit Paris when a million or moreFrenchmen leave the city on vacation.Places are not so jammed, traffic is easierbut bear in mind that many restaurantsand shops close down for that month.

bait or lures. Other kinds of angling, inwhich it is even harder to succeed, arefar less rewarding.

I think much of the satisfaction the flyfisherman, particularly the dry-fly fisherman, finds in his sport stems from thefact that much of the time he knowinglyhandicaps himself in order to be on amore even basis with the fish. He does

' not trick the finny fools by enticing themto strike the glitter of a spinner nor doeshe overwhelm their better judgment byoffering them a morsel of food that theycannot resist. Rather he attempts to imitate the floating insects on which theymay be feeding. And when he succeedsat this difficult though pleasant task, hisreward is proportionately greater.

The dry-fly fisherman does not use dryflies because he expects to catch morefish. He uses them only because they aremore fun. He often takes a horrible beat-

ing. Most of the time the water is toohigh or too low, too hot or too cold. Thesame observation applies to the weather.It's seldom right. Once in a while, however, conditions are in his favor and whensuch a wonderful day arrives he is rewarded for all his suffering.

One day my wife and I set out to fiishthe Ten Mile River, in lower New YorkState. Now the Ten Mile is not, by anystretch of the imagination, one of theworld's great streams. Its water gets toohot for trout during the summer and ittakes a pounding from the metropolitananglers who can drive up and fish it onSaturday and get home in time for dinner. Nevertheless, we parked our car beside a quarter-mile riffle and set up ourtackle.

When we finally were ready to stepinto the stream at the foot of the riffle—

and it's always finally when you haven'tbeen fishing for a week—we decided totie on Light Cahills. There were no insects on the water and we hadn't seen a

trout rise, but it was the time of year forLight Cahills and they seemed as gooda bet as any with which to start. I wadedacross and .started fishing up the right-hand bank while my wife stayed on theleft.

After only a few minutes she caughtan eight-inch brown. We decided that itprobably was a stray and continued. Afew minutes later I got one a little bigger.We soon discovered that there were trout

everywhere, and they were willing.We caught twenty-two before we

stopped for lunch. They were ail betweeneight and eleven inches long, except fortwo giants of twelve and thirteen, whichwe kept. They would be enough for ourdinner that evening and the twenty smaller ones, we decided, would keep far better in the stream than they would in ourrefrigerator.

I are temperamentally suited to becomedry-fly fishermen. The kind of "sportsmen" who thinks it is funny to shoot henpheasants will never be one. He lias it inhis nature to cheat and you can't cheatwith a dry fly. Neither will the man whois primarily interested in seeing howmany trout he can take home from eachday's outing. Most of the time—althoughnot always—you can't catcli nearly somany trout on dry flies as you could by.some other method.

Nevertlieless, there are thousands ofdry-fly fishermen and if they arc unable,as I am. to explain why they enjoy thismethod more than any other it does notgainsay the fact that they do. I thinkthere probably are thousands more who

would enjoy it if they were not somewhatoverawed by the thought that it is extremely difficult. This belief, fortunately,is not correct. The mechanics of dry-flyfishing—the casting and the floating ofthe fly—are simple and easy to master.The difficulty lies in finding a fly thatwill take a fish or, to put it another way,finding a fish that will take a fly.

Also fortunately, the tools of dry-flyfishing are not expensive. Unlike practically everything else you can think of,it is possible to get a better fishing outfit for less money now than before thewar. You can buy a perfectly adequate flyrod for about fifteen dollars. A taperedline still costs in the neighborhood often. A single-action fly reel will costseven or eight and those are the three bigitems. You need leaders, flies and flydressing, of course, and there are a number of other accessories that are nice to

have, but, most of them really are not essential and flies and leaders can be purchased a few at a time so that one hardlymisses the money.

Thus, dry-fly fishing, contrary to theonce-popular impression, is not a sportfor rich men nor the avocation of snobs.It is open to everyone who lives in troutcountry and has the desire to try it. Although I would be the last person to tellanyone that he will catch more trout ondry flies than he would by some othermethod, I do insist that each trout he does icatch this way will be more fun than anyhe ever took by any other method.

I have caught several trout in my time.There is no question but what the firstone I hooked on a dry fly made a morevivid impression than any other. I was ;twelve or thirteen years old and, while iI had never seen anyone using dry flies, iI had read quite a bit about them. I sent |away to a mail-order company and ;bought six.

That was in the winter. One day thefollowing spring, I was fishing a brushy,little brook with worms when it occurredto me to try my dry flies. I had caughteight or nine trout and had come to anunusually large pool for that stream. Itwas ten feet wide and twenty-five orthirty long. I can't remember whether Isaw a trout rise or whether I just happened to think of the dry flies. At anyrate, I sat down on the bank, tied twoor three strands of finer gut to the three-foot leader with which I had been baitfishing and attached a Brown Hackle.

Since I had read that dry flies shouldbe cast upstream. I waded into the tailof the pool, where I had room for a back-cast and sent the fly to an eddy beside thecurrent that rushed in at the upper end.It had only floated an instant when a

trout took it. 111 never forget that strike.In memory, the rainbow shot out and

took the fly as he came down, like agrayling. I really don't think he did. Ithink I was just so thrilled at seeing thestrike—I had never seen a trout take myfly before—that it seemed as though heleapt clear of the water. At any rate, Imanaged to hook him and he jumpedimmediately. Then he raced around thepool and jumped again. I played him astenderly as if my leader, which reallywas comparatively heavy, were a cob

web. At last 1 landed him. He was a rainbow between a eleven and twelve incheslong. I thought he was the most beautifulfish I had ever seen.

I was using a bamboo rod that costsix dollars. My line was F level. My leader left much to be desired and the fly,which seemed wonderful at the time, nodoubt was of extremely poor quality.

Nevertheless, I had caught a trout on adry fly. The bug had bitten me. Fromthat moment I was incurably a dry-flyfisherman.

They Hold the Bag(Continuedfrom page 11)

But any tournament player, even Ho-gan or Mangrum, will tell you that acaddie can be a psychological help ifonly by keeping his mouth shut. ProetteBetty Hicks calls it "that priceless intuition—knowing when to speak and whennot to, a sixth sense toward a player'smood."

After firing a caddie at Baltusrol lastyear, Sam Snead felt obliged to explainhow this intuitive sense can work. "Let'ssay Ah'm thinking of a six-iron on thefirst hole," said Snead. "I ask the boyand he too says it's a six. So I hit theball and it's just right. Well, everything'sdownhill from there on, H I never askhim what he thinks again, at least Iknow that if f do I'll get a right smartanswer:"

Obviously, golf pros are remarkablejudges of distance. Snead, being Snead,is particularly acute, yet he leans heavilyon a caddie's advice. "Ah was playingin the North-South at Pinehurst oneyear," he went on to say, "when I cometo a shot that looked to be 'bout a three-iron. 'Let's hit us a five,' my boy says.Well, I wasn't too hot on a five, but thisboy persisted and I knew that he usuallyknew what he was talking 'bout. Icranked her up and, sure nuff, she landsright next to the pin. 'Do you know?' Isays to this old boy. 'Do you know youjust got me to hit a five-iron two hundredyards?'' 'Sure I knowed it,' he says. 'Youwas strong enough. I could tell by thelook in your eyes.' Now, that's what Icall a bang-up caddie."

Not all golfers play the inspired, almost emotional brand of golf that Sneadplays. Some, like Byron Nelson, play asurgical game, a brand that depends oncold calculation rather than mood. "Ihave to be on the lookout for just thatsort of over-confidence in a caddie," saysNelson, referring to Snead's 200-yardfive-iron. "Sometimes they think becauseyou're a big-shot pro that you can perform miracles witth a club. Tliey'll handme a five-iron where I really need athree—180 yards from the green perhaps.I have to be extra careful because I

don't hit an iron very far, and don't seeany reason to so long as there's nine ofthem in the bag. We're not all SamSneads, you know."

The element in the make-up of a cad

die which a pro fears the most is innocence. There are nine regulations in theRules of Golf governing a caddie's conduct plus dozens of other unwritten rulesof etiquette which a boy is expected toknow. A breach of any of them can beembarrassing, some of them costly. In1946 Nelson lost the National Open, atitle worth upwards of §50,000, by a single penalty stroke because his caddieaccidently kicked his ball. This is innocence at its most disastrous, and is rareindeed. But it's not uncommon for apro to discover that his boy knows so little about the game that he is potentiallydisastrous, one more worry in the day'sround. Recently Jack Burke asked a boywhat he thought Burke needed to gethome, meaning the green. "Get home?"he replied. "Why, mistuh, I don't evenknow where you live." And not long agoToney Penna asked a boy who was attending the flagstick to point out whowas away, meaning whose ball was farthest from the cup. "Ain't nobody away,Mistuh Penna," he answered, lookingabout the green. "They's all here."

A pro won't tolerate ignorance, but,oddly enough, irreverence is acceptable.Pros derive a sort of masochistic pleasure out of being verbally abused, muchin the way Jack Benny puts up withRochester. Take the story told on himself by Lew Worsham, a former winnerof the National Open and the World sChampionship. At a tournament he waswinning in Denver, Colorado, Worshamwas faced with a downhill chip to a slickgreen. He decided to play safe by roIli^iSit on with his putter, a common shotamong money-wise pros but too undra-matic for most amateurs. When Worsham plucked his putter from his bagand addressed the ball, his caddie, unimpressed with either Worsham's technique or his titles, was audibly astonished. "Whoever told you you could playgolfi* he said. "That's a chip shot, nota putt. Man, take your wedge and cutit up there."

It has been said that there are onlythree classes of people entitled to referto themselves as "we"—kings, editors,and caddies. While it is "we" who win,it is understood that the player loses byhimself. An old locker-room story concerns the golfer who sliced a crucial shot

into a sand trap. "Too bad," said hiscaddie, handing him his sand wedge,"you're in the trap." In recovering fromthe trap, however, the golfer executeda magnificent explosion shot that rolleddirectly into the cup. "Well," said thecaddie, handing him his driver on thenext tee. "We sure pulled that one out ofthe fire, didn't we?"

For three days in a tournament hewas winning Jimmy Thomson had beengetting an overdose of the "we" treatment. However, it ended on the fourthand final day when Thomson, who shallnever be known for his consistency,started squirting the ball all over thecourse. On one hole he would just assoon forget he took the caddie's adviceon a three-iron against his better judgment, flew the ball over the green, andfinally scraped it into the cup for aneight. "We weren't so hot today, wereive?" Thomson said to the boy after theround. "That three-iron shot, by theway, was all your fault."

"Yes sir," agreed the caddie. "But therest of tliem were yours."

As accurately as these sort of thingscan be ascertained, caddies first cameinto use during the fifteenth centuryreign of the Scotch King, James I, aStuart, the House which officially appointed golf the royal game. The Stuartswere hardly the type to carry their own .clubs and are supposed to have recruitedpalace lackeys to do it for them. Thelackeys whose duties were best suitedfor the job were messengers and lightporters—cadets, as they were called.Hence, the term.

The half dozen or so clubs which constituted a full set of equipment at thistime were slung under one arm by thecadets and handed to the player at hiscommand but at the selection of thecadet. Golf bags were not invented untillate in the nineteenth century when aretired sailmaker who was the clubhouseattendant at England's Westward Ho!fashioned a piece of canvas to keep thegrips from getting wet.

In St. Andrews during the eighteenthand nineteenth centuries caddies weremainly fishermen. After sailing all dayon the Firth of Forth, they picked upsi)are change by lugging equipment inthe lingering summer twilight for thewealthy members of the Royal & AncientGolf Club. Eventually some of themmust have felt that caddying was moreprofitable than fishing, or less strenuous,or both, because an entire community ofcaddies soon sprang up, the trade beinghanded down from one generation toanother. Unlike most of the youngerAmerican caddies, the St. Andrews breedhad no aspirations to play the game.Caddying was their sole ambition. Whendashing Willie Campbell blew the British Open one year, his caddie was movedto tears, and, unashamed, sobbed openlyin front of the gallery around the eiglit-eenth green.

British pros relied heavily on a cad

die's knowledge of golf. It was acceptedpractice to be "clubbed" by themthroughout a championship, particularlythe British Open. This is accounted forin part by the fact that the British Openis traditionally played on a links, which,in strict golf parlance, is a course laidout on linksland, the sandy soil depositedby centuries of receding tides. Flat, treeless, cold, and windy, the very natureof a links can change three or four timesin the course of a single round. Together,all this makes the British Open considerably more than the glorified bat-ballthat some American tournaments are,

and a full-time test of your self-composure. The technical end of the battle,therefore, was usually left to the caddies.

OLD PROS who can remember whenScotsmen played the game with

hickory shafts can talk for hours aboutmatches and tournaments and evenchampionships which would not havebeen won were it not for the counsel ofcaddies. Gene Sarazen gives credit 'forwinning the 1932 British Open to hiscaddie. Skip Daniels. A wizened old gentfrom Sandwicli, Daniels first toted Sara-zen's bag in 1928. Sarazen fouled up hischances that year by gambling disastrously on a spoon shot against Danielsadvice. It wasn't until the Open returnedto Sandwich four years later, when Daniels again caddied for him, tliat Sarazen was finally able lo capture the title,the only one in golf which had eludedhim. Only months afterward, Danielsdied. Sarazen never won the title again,although he has been trying off 'and onever since.

A motley bunch, the St. Andrews caddies dressed in hand-me-downs and considered themselves the glass of fasliionif they wore everything they owned atonce. One of them, a six-and-a-half footgent named Lang Willie, always caddiedin spats, a swallowtail coat, and a stovepipe hat. Like Dickens" characters, lifewas a gross exaggeration, and it wasone of the pleasures of the evening tostand around Forgan's Golf Shop andlisten to wags like Donald Blue andStumpy Eye exchange anecdotes and expletives. Legend has it that when St.Andrews' caddies die they climb toheaven on a ladder from the first tee ofthe Old Course, marking it as they gowith chalk for all the lies they have toldin life. It's said thai when Lang Williedied he met Donald Blue coming backdown. "Why you coomin' down?' askedWillie. "I need more chalk," said Blue.

Caddies have become such an integralpart of St. Andrews tliat when the Royal& Ancient installs a newly elected captain, it is thought fitting to have themplay a role in the installation ceremonies.By tradition the new captain "driveshimself into olfice" by hitting off the firsttee of the old course amid cannon burstsand cheers. Caddies deploy along thefairway at the spot each thinks the newcaptain will most likely hit his drive,

the caddie who retrieves the ball beingawarded a gold sovereign especiallystruck for the occasion by the Bank ofEngland. The honor once fell to the Dukeof Windsor, then the Prince of Wales."I say," said an Englishman to a friendafter the ceremony, "don't you thinkthose caddies stood disloyally close?"

This country has its caddie communities as well as Scotland. There are dozens

in New York's Westcliester County,made up largely of the first-generationItalian-Americans whose families movedfrom the East Side, out of whicli havecome the Turnesas. the Pennas. and the

Sarazens. In Pinehurst. North Carolina,the one truly golf town in this hemisphere, there is a caddie community ofwonderfully extroverted Negroes. Perhaps the oddest caddie community, inScotland or anywhere else, is within thecity limits of Paris, near the St. CloudCkib. It is composed entirely of women.If female caddies don't fit into youridea of politessc, consider one of SanFrancisco's leading amateurs, a youngman named Bill McCool. who has his

wife caddy for him. Determined neverto be a golf widow. i)retty Isabel McCoolwould rather watch and worry than sitand wait. "When we were married," shesays, *'1 promised to love, honor, andcaddy for him on week-ends."

During the Twenties there was a groupof vagabond caddies who traveled fromtournament to tournament, booking theirservices to the higliest biddei'. "'Therewere about a dozen of ii.s. steady. ' saysLuke Ross, wlio caddied for Boi) Jones

in most of liis cliampionslii|)s. '"KingBrady, Jeff Adams. Ski|) Malone—wefeuded and gambled as nuicli as tiieplayers. Wlien we won, wc rode a Pullman. When we lost, we rode the rods."

Now a jjrofessional near Clevelan<l,Koss was so intent on jtlaying a part inJones's career that once, having been offered a pro job. he arce|)ted only onthe stipulation he could have time off tocaddy for The Emperor. '"We were justtramp caddies," says Ross, '"but wehelped those guys in ways the gallerynever noticed, in ways even the |)layersnever noticed. Why, if it hadn't beenfor me and 0. B. Keeler [Jones's latefriend and BosweliJ. Jones might neverhave won a championship.

"I'll tell you how it liappened."As a kid Jones had tlie w<jrst temper

you ever saw. He could throw a clubhigtier, fartiier, and i)reltier than anybody. Weil, one day 0. B. comes up tome and says we got to do somethingabout tiiis kid's steam. So we hatched aplan. The next time Bob losse<l a stick,I marched slowly after it and thenbrought it back and handed it to iiim.You know, instead of putting it back inthe bug tlie way you ought to. Every timehe tln-ew a club that year. I did the sametiling.

"Well-sir, he started getting self-conscious. He stopped throwing his clubs.He had his temper licked. And after

that—well, it's in all the record books."In America caddieyards have always

been the sand lots of big-league golf.From little caddies big golf pros grow,so much so that it has always been easierto name the pros who weren't once caddies than to name those who were. By anodd coincidence, two of the world'sgreatest golfers. Ben Hogan and ByronNelson, first met in the same caddie-yard. at the Glen Garden Country Clubnear Ft. Worth. Texas.

For this reason a great many peoplewho get paid for worrying about suchthings have been alarmed of late overthe increasing caddie shortage. SinceWorld War II an estimated 750.000 cad

dy-carts have come into use. There havealso been a sorry number of those motorized wagons which not only tote thegolfer's clul)s but the golfer as well. Inthe British Isles, where the one-pound

Old-time professionalcaddy Joe Morgan.

caddie fees are out of the question forthe average golfer and where the caddiesare subject to self-em|)Ioyment taxes,carts are the rule ratlier than the exception. even at historic St. Andrews. Higlias caddie fees are~.1i3.00 a round andup. mainly up. in this country—they aregoing higher, so high in fact that at soincclubs it is not improbable for the golferto find himself being bargained with bya caddie.

To restir interest in caddying amongthe nation's well-fed youth, golf organizations are trying to kindle an interest thatwill supersede the money inducements.The PGA. for one example, stages theNational Caddie Tournament annuallyduring the third week in August at theOhio State University Course in Columbus. Elsewhere, there are a number ofcollege scholarship funds. The WesternGolf Association (actually, a coast-to-coast organization) originated this ideain 1930 with the Evans Fund, in honor

of the likable Cliicago amateur star,Charles "Chick" Evans. To date it has

sent 315 ex-caddies, ranging from thesons of ministers to the sons of gangsters,through Northwestern University. Whether or not a boy plays golf is incidental.But in order to qualify for a scholarshiphe must have caddied for at least two

years, be the upper 25 per cent of hisclass, and, of course, not otherwise beable to attend college.

Tomorrow's golf pros are not the onlyloss from today's empty caddieyards. Foranother thing, through its caddieyardsgolf has been a threat to juvenile delinquency in a way. Caddying not onlytakes kids off the street, it ])ays them.A great many names more easily recognized than golf pros' were once numbersin a caddlie-line. One is journalist-TVproducer Ed Sullivan. "We got thirty-fivecents a round." says Sullivan, "and theprivilege of meeting a better-than-aver-age class of people. As a teenager myheroes could have been a lot of people,but it just so lia|)j)ens that they werebusinessmen, lawyers, doctors—peoplelike that.

^ ou have no idea how helpful thirty-five cents, small as it seems today, wasto the family budget then. But that wasonly a minor part. The major part wasthe golf itself; its ethics, its courtesies,its in.sistence on honesty. It shaped thethinking of all us kids. We learned earlythat a man can't always be in the fairway."

Today there are an estimated 300.000caddies less than sixteen years of age.They earn conservatively $70,000,0*00annually. Out of this national caddie-yard, insufficient though it is. will emergeSam Sneads, Ed Sullivans. and EvansScholars. But it is not likely, so long astimes are lush, and caddy-carts are available, that out of it will emerge many ofthe old-time professional caddies. Likethe late Joe Horgan. for example.

Horgan was generally recognized asthe dean of American caddies, for whichhe was awarded lifelimc credentials bythe United States Golf Association. IJkeall caddies. Morgan had a favorite player.His was Harry Vartion, the English pistol. On or off the course his chief pastimewas telling stories about Vardon. ofwhich there are hundreds. Particularlydid he like to tell them to young golferswho he was sure had never seen the oldmaster in action. Not everyone believedhim, of course.

One of the more consistent doubterswas a cock-sure young pro who gave theimjjression that by his own comparisonVardon was a ninety-shooter. One day ina tournament on Long Island. Horgan'sbailiwick, the pro made an amazing recovery from the rough to within a fewfeet of the pin. "What d'ya think of thatshot?" he yelled to Horgan. who wasstanding nearby, unimpressed. "CouldVardon get out of tiie i-ough that good?"

"Get out?" Horgan said, and he spaton the turf. "Hell, he was never in it."

''FREEDOM'S FACTS" Exposes Communism

Defend It!

"Freedom's Facts

Against Communism," a publication of the All-American Confer

ence to CombatCommunism — a

group of 50 national organizations, including the Benevolent and Protective

Order of Elks—isdoing all-out \vork in exposing communist inroads on democracy. Below are afew pertinent quotations from the Mayissue, but of course this is only a smallsegment of the many facts brought tolight. Subscriptions now are available atS3.00 a year from the All-American Conference, 917 15th Street N.W., Washington. Issued each month.

THE ASIAN STRATEGY

The Afro-Asian Conference in Bandung, Indonesia, last month higlilightedthe advances the communists have madeso far toward their goal of world conquest. The record is impressive. The number of organized communists has jumpedfrom 17, who had no power in 1905, to30,000,000 controlling a population of900,000,000 in 1955.

While there have been some twists andturns in tactics during these 50 years,communist progress has been based upona fairly rigid plan. Lenin stated it in1920. "First we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia. Then wewill encircle the United States whichwill be the last bastion of capitalism."

By 1923 Joseph Stalin was urging fellow Reds to "enflame the deep rear ofImperialism—the eastern colonial andsemi-colonial countries, revolutionizethem and thus hasten the fall of imperialism." And in an ominous tone in 1925, hedeclared, "Revolutionizing the East mustgive a decisive blow to the sharpeningrevolutionary crisis in the West. Being attacked on two sides—the rear and thefront—imperialism must realize it isdoomed to destruction."

After communist advances into Europewere blocked following World War II bythe growing strength of Marshall-plancountries, the communists turned back toLenin's master plan. At a Comiform meet-ing in Karlsbad, Czechoslovakia, in August 1952, European Reds were orderedto work witli otiier parties, show rever

ence to the church, revive the PopularFront spirit. The Reds had captured East-ern Europe and wanted a minimum oftrouble in the West while they movedahead in Asia.

PEACE IN fFEST—AGGRESSIONIN ASIA

As the Reds mount an offensive to drive

Westerners out. of Asia, communists arestepping up their peace propaganda inEurope and America. In accord with whatthe Comiform was told back in August,1952, the Reds want a minimum of trouble from the West while their campaignfor control of Asia moves forward. Meanwhile, communists not only in Asia butthroughout the world are watching closely the moves of the United States in Asia.

PROGRESS BEING MADE

The Reds are boosting efforts to convince West Germans that German unityis still possible if the Paris agreementsare junked. Radio Moscow on April 6declared in unmistakable terms that theSoviet Union had warned that ratificationof the Paris agreements "constituted tlieprincipal impediment to the reunificationof Germany," and added, "The SovietGovernment simultaneously pointed outpossibilities—not yet exhausted—-of solving the task of the reunification of Germany by means of Four Power negotiations on free all-German elections."

All this adds up to a clear warningthat any Four Power talks on Germanyor on the subject of peace in Europe willinvolve a Soviet offer of peace in returnfor the neutrality of Germany—a movewhich would destroy the keystone ofgrowing NATO power and probablycause withdrawal of U.S. forces from allof Europe. This apparently is the communist aim and makes sense in view oftheir overall strategy to maintain peacein Europe while advancing in Asia.

Fortunately, the Western powers havea great advantage in entering any upcoming Big Four talks which they did nothave at the time of the disastrous Berlinand Geneva talks last year. On one handis the communists' desire for peace andneutrality in Europe and on the other isthe growing power of NATO. This poweralready has forced the Reds to offer apeace treaty for Austria. If it is furtherstrengthened, it can be used to extracteven greater "peaceful" concessions fromMoscow.

panicked. The dogs must be dependableand controllable. These qualities arehighly necessary for when on duty witha human policeman the officer's safety,perhaps his life, may depend upon theactions of his dog.

To some training for policework is similar to ilie training dug& nrcgiven for certiiin phasci^ of war wm-k.TeiiBlnj5, luntuli/.ing the uniinul is pni-tof the course. A mun heavily padded andcarrying a stick threatens the dog, slapsit with a padded arm. perhaps pinches itor gives it a few brisk switchings. Following these actions he retreats rapidlyfrom the dog. The object is to make thedog suspicious of strangers and to arouseit to attack (the man of course is onewho is strange to the dog). The rapid attack and retreat are necessary. The retreat is designed to make the dog thinkthe man is afraid and build confidence.

The next step is a"'burglary." This isrepeated until the dog learns to be

on guard at all times or at least neverrelax completely. The burglaries, whilepretended, must be so simulated that thedog thinks tliey are real. Quoting trainerMoench, "To make the burglaries realI instruct the people in the house to besure to let the household routine proceedalong its normal course. If the break-inis set for six o'clock in the evening, thehour tlie family is normally at dinner,then the members of the family should beeating dinner; or if at 1 a. m. when theynormally have retired, then they shouldbe in bed with the lights out or low, according to how they are normally left.There is only one exception to this procedure. If there are children in the home,we schedule the burglary at an hourwhen the children can be away from theirhome without their absence attractingattention, .such as to school or out withl»laymales. We have to take this precaution, for children would not be able tocontain their excitement and might transmit to the dog the idea that things werenot entirely normal." Dogs doing policework are also taught to scale fences aswell as to attack.

Perhaps the most difficult lesson is forthe dog to attack in the face of gunfire.This is usually accomplished by gettingthe dogs accustomed to shots fired at adistance. As the dogs get inured to thisthe distance is decreased. Only blankcartridges are used of course.

To revert to scaling fences, this isn'ttoo difficult to teach as nearly all dogstake to jumping, being natural jumpers.Lessons begin by inducing the dog to leapover small bari iers and as the trainingprogresses the height of the barrier orfence is increased. Dogs are taught todetect strangers while walking their beator patrol with the policeman and in thistheir senses of scent and hearing and their

ability to penetrate places not too easilyaccessible to a man makes them invaluable to the officer. They are also schooledto hold the subject of their search afterthat person is located.

Dogs only attack wlien they are at-tucked. Each dog is usually assigned toOTIC oQicei- BUMiilily. Fetcliing or retrieving IB uUo part of llie schooling. The dogmust al.SO learn lo cease aii«ck insiantlywhen comnianiltd. i"'ollowitig iliisi lu; mustremain quiet until given furliicr commands. The Police Dog Training Club ofAmerica has set a score of 60 per centas a passing mark for the dogs.

It is not deiinitely known just whatbreeds were first used for police work.The choice lies between the Germanshepherd and the Doberman pinscher.Earlier I mentioned that the dog trainedfor private guard work, for homes, estates, factories and other places of business, should be trained to refuse foodfrom strangers and this is true too fortlie dog trained for police work. A personbent on breaking the law if enabled toget far enough away from a policemancould easily administer a food containinga swift and deadly poison and thus makegood his escape.

Police trained dogs are seldom usedfor tracking although some are endowedwith scent perception to qualify them forthis work. In the tracking departmentthe bloodhound is the priina donna. He isthe only dog whose findings are acceptedin court. The person the bloodhound haslocated and who has been apprehendedis deemed to be THE person sought after.Dogs have been used for |)olice work forabout fifty yearsand their use is growingas more and more law enforcement agencies are finding them invaluable. Theiruse is widespread in Europe. It is believed that they were first used in Germany. Because the German shepherd wasperhaps the most often used breed thesedogs became known as the police dogs.To this day many peoi)le believe thatdogs of this breed are called police dogs.Actually, any intelligent, aggressive dogof similar size can be trained for policeduty and other breeds are used for suchwork.

For guardian purposes the dog's knownability in this department is rapidlywinning him recognition outside of thehome and in factories, departnient storesand other places of business. One ofAmerica's largest stores located in Chicago uses German shepherds while R. H.Macy of New York, another great store,employs Doberman pinschers. Dogs usedthis way accompany nigiit watchmen ontheir patrols through the stores and according to a spokesman for the Macystore since dogs have been used nighttime thefts committed by persons wholinger in the store after closing hourshave been materially decreased.

WORKSHOPBuilding a practical fireplace for outdoor cooking,

BY HARRY WALTON

Made of concrete blocks, this fireplace (seefigure 3) is a big, efficient unit for cooking.

More fun at home is the bestreason in the world for having a

fireplace in your own back yard. Outdoorcooking makes an event out of any weekday supper. Week-end picnics at homewill delight the whole family—and keepyou out of many a traffic jam.

Although such fireplaces often lookmassive and costly, you can build a good-sized, permanent one for less than $25.Or, to get the feel of outdoor cooking,you can put a temporary one togetherwith concrete blocks in five minutes.

WHERE TO SPOT IT. Smoke from a wood

fire can damage foliage, so if you planto chop your own fuel, do not build thefireplace directly under high shrubberyor trees. Charcoal is smokeless.

Because of sparks, you won't want tobuild close to wooden fences or walls.It is possible, of course, to make a fireplace part of a summer house or fence,but such a unit will require a chimneyhigh enough to clear top of structure.

The building site should be fairly leveland well drained. If at all possible,locate your fireplace so that it faces intoprevailing winds, and give thought to thedirection in which smoke wiU travel—preferably not toward the house.

54

A SHORT-ORDER FIREPLACE. Get yourself an old oven grate and six concreteblocks (costing about two dollars) andyou can cook your very next meal outdoors. Simply arrange the blocks as inFig. I and lay the grate across them.The fire goes on the ground. For charcoal, lay a piece of ^2" wire mesh acrossstones or brick 4" below the cookinggrill. Some draft control can be had byblocking the front opening.

A permanent fireplace, affording amore convenient working height and better control of the fire and utensils, canbe built of brick, natural stone, or concrete blocks.

Should you use brick, take specialpains to keep each course straight andlevel. Line the firebox with firebrick,using fireclay as mortar. Natural stoneis handsome and needs no lining, butrequires careful selection and fitting,with at least 2" of concrete behind thestones, and a wall thickness of about 6".

Steel oven grates, cast-iron stove gratesor heavy welded steel mesh can be usedas the fire grate, and like materials forthe cooking surface. Some prefer a solid1/4" thick steel plate instead of an opengrill to cook on, and of course both kindscould be used interchangeably if simplylaid in place and not fastened in anyway. Galvanized iron and some refrigerator grates have a zinc coating thatshould not be used as a cooking surfacein contact with food, but black iron, castiron, and steel are safe to use.

CASTING THE FOUNDATION. In the

southern states where frost is rare, a 4"thick concrete slab is all you need tobuild on. But where frost heaves theground, the foundation must be the re*inforced type and at least 6" thick.

Mark out the foundation area, a littlelarger than the fireplace all around, withstakes and cord. Excavate 6" deep. Thenset in rough wooden boards as a form,holding them with stakes. The top edgesshould be level and about an inch aboveground surface (Figure 2).

By the bucket or sack, measure outone volume of portland cement, 2^ ofclean sand, and 3 of gravel. Mix thor-ouglily together while dry; then addwater (about 5 gal. per sack of cement)and mix until all is uniformly moist andclings together. Sprinkle the excavation

On this lay a piece of 6" welded-steelmesh or crisscross steel reinforcingrods 12" apart in both directions. Thenpour more concrete to make the slab 6"thick. Smooth it off by having someonehelp you draw a straight-edged two-by-four across the top of the form.

KEEP CONCRETE MOIST. Concrete willnot develop its maximum strength ifallowed to harden quickly. Keep the castslab covered with burlap, sprinkling thisoccasionally for two or three days. Thenyou can remove the wooden form and fillthe gap left with a little soil.

A CONCRETE BLOCK DESIGN. The fireplace shown in Figure 3 and the photograph was developed by the OregonState College Extension Service. It hasseveral advantages. Materials for it costless than half what they would for anequivalent brick fireplace. The big concrete blocks are easy to lay, require nofirebrick lining, and make the job gofast. If you should want a larger layout,it's simple to build on wings or walls ofthe same blocks.

JUNE

Robert Browning said:"Jane reared that bunch of flowers

that you carry from seeds of Aprilsowing".

In a speech of acceptance last JulyGrand Exalted Ruler Jernick an

nounced his slogan as;"AS ELKDOM SOWS AMERICA REAPS", and ap

pealed to his Brother Elks to be the planters of good deeds.The record of accomplishments in the Order during

the year indicate that his appeal met with a ready andsuccessful response.

He has extended the period of time allotted to the possible winning of the Gold Stars of his program throughthis month of June and it is to be hoped and it is highlyprobable that June, the last month of his term of service,will out-shine all others in the results of the sowing in themonths that have passed.

One of the things that he had emphasized particularlyfor this month is the observance—and the effective ob

servance—by all lodges of Flag Day, which observance onJune 14 has been mandatory for nearly fifty years.

It is particularly fitting that in these troublous times we,as members of the greatest of all American fraternities,should take advantage of every opportunity to show ourlove and respect for our country's flag and all it represents.

OUR THIRTY-FOURTH YEAR

The first issue of The Elks Magazinewas that of June 1922 so that we con

cluded our Thirty-Third year lastmonth and this month of June we start

on our Thirty-Fourth year of publication.

The years that have passed havebeen years of steady development of the Magazine and, welike to think, of increased service to the Order, its 1700lodges, its members and their families.

While it is pleasant to review the accomplishments ofthe past, we prefer to look to the future.

There is, however, one reference to the past that we desire to make now and that is that one of the principalreasons for the success and effectiveness of The Elks Magazine has been the loyal and alert interest of its readers,their helpful comments and criticisms.

As we start our Thirty-Fourth year of publication weexpress our deep appreciation of this great help.

\^'e urge our readers to continue writing us opinions ofspecific articles so that our editorial policy may be guidedby their preferences. Now, let's look ahead to what wehope the future has in store.

As the Order continues to increase in membership andincome from advertising, which reached nearly $400,000last year, continues to grow, as we trust it will, we lookforward to the day when it will be possible to publish aneven larger and better Magazine and to turn over to the

Grand Lodge annually out of the profits of the Magazine, amaterial increase over the $200,000 averaged during thethirty-three years just closed.

While we are proud of the outstanding writers andartists who have contributed to the interesting features andattractive illustrations of the past, we hope to present moreartists and writers of the finest talents in our future issues.

We hope to find it possible to give even greater supportto the programs of succeeding Grand Exalted Rulers andto the plans of the various Grand Lodge Commissions andCommittees.

We like to feel that the Magazine has contributed materially to the development of the Elks National Foundation,to the accomplishments of the Service Commission and tothe programs of the Grand Lodge Committees and of theState Associations. We hope to make even greater contributions to these important activities in the future.

In recent years we have added such interesting featuresas our "Elks Family Shopper", "For Those Who Travel"and "Elks Workshop" and we hope, as space and incomeallow, to develop additional departments which will be ofinterest and benefit to members of the Order and families.

We wish to express our appreciation to the large percentage of our readers who have contributed materially tothe success of the Magazine by patronizing its advertisersand advising them, when practicable, that they have madetheir purchases as a result of seeing their advertisementsin The Elks Magazine.

In respect to this we also approach the future with confidence.

AN EARLY START

It was in October, 1917, that theBolsheviks took over control in Russiaand the Communists established theirfirst government.

It was only twenty-one months laterthat the Grand Lodge of the Order ofElks met in Atlantic City.

Reporting to that Convention the then Grand ExaltedRuler, Brother Bruce A. Campbell, stated that he had received a letter from one of the lodges of the Order advisingthat a member of that lodge had expressed his sympathywith Bolshevism and that he was "for the Bolshevists."The Exalted Ruler of the lodge asked whether or notcharges could be preferred against him and he be expelledfrom the Order for his stand.

The Grand Exalted Ruler submitted ihis matter to theChairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Grand Lodgeand the latter reported in part as follows:

"Every Elk has taken the solemn obligation to supportthe Constitution and laws of the United States of America and we have been taught as one of the fundamentalprinciples of the Order that the American flag, typicalas it is of our form of government, shall be first in ourhearts as loyal Elks.''No man can be a Bolshevist and remain a loyalAmerican citizen.

The Grand Lodge unanimously supported this opinion.Thus was started the campaign of our Order against

Communism which has been continuous and strikinglyvigorous to the present day.
