Douelas County'g most color ful show of the year in scheduled for the coming weekend. We anticipate the city will be crowded with visitors for this big annual event. Each vear the show eets bis-iter and better. This year s program, according to all advance announcements, prom ises to be the best yet. Perhaps some of our newer residents are not familiar with the history of the rodeo. It is a history of aggressive enterprise in which we take much pride, particularly as an exhibit of what can be done when a group or people are win ing to work and sacrifice. During World War II there was created a Mounted Posse, under the direction of the county sheriff, to serve in civilian defense. The Posse was designed to do search, pa trol and sentry duty in the event of disaster. Members fur nished their own mounts, transportation facilities, uniforms and equipment. As the war neared an end, Posse members decided to keep the organization alive, preserving police functions as well as having a riding club for their own pleasure. Fair Project Adopted Douglas County had been without a county fair for more than 25 years. The former fairgrounds had been sold. No fair facilities were available. Much sentiment existed for revival of the annual county fair. The Sheriff's Posse adopted the project. The riding group provided the nucleus for an annual show. Income from the show, it was decided, would finance improvements, eventually leading 10 facilities permitting a county fair. The Posse initiated a proposal for a '(-mill continuing tax levy The county bought a site for $18,000. With a few thousand dollars the Fair Board had on hand, plus $10,000 loaned by individual Posse members, construction was started on the grandstand. Members built fences, chutes and corrals. Materials and labor were largely donated. Every member of the Posse contributed to the effort. It Is not possible to single out each person who participated, but among the leaders were Sig Fett, Al Bashford, the late Dick Baker, W. H. "Doc" Carter, Lynn Beckley, Sheriff O. T. "BtTd" Carter and others. The first show was a big success. All profits immedi ately were put into additional improvements. The Posse never has taken one cent of revenue for itself. Members of the group pay their own expenses, furnish their own mounts, equipment and uniforms, spend much time in prep aration, do the promotional and management work, and then turn all proceeds Into the hands of the County Fair Board. ; . Success Marked Efforts Using profits from the popular annual rodeo, together with the millage levy and other income, the Fair Board has built a track, pavilions, stables and has made many other fine improvements. The plant could not be duplicated to day for a quarter of a million dollars. Yet this year's rodeo is only the 8th annual show. ! The county fair has been revived on a small scale. Eventually it will grow much larger, it is expected, as money becomes available to expand facilities. The pavilion pro vided a permanent home for the Northwest Turkey Show, another of the county's major entertainment activities. Altogether, the rodeo has proven an outstanding civic, enterprise. Not only does it furnish a lot of pleasure for thousands of spectators for two days each year, but it has contributed to the b'tilding of one of the best fairground layouts in Orcgun, with future prospects of still greater de velopment. The Sheriff's Posse can feel very proud of its achieve ment, while the community should be extremely grateful for the sacrifice of time, effort and money expended by this group of enthusiasts, who still retain their original major purpose of police protection. EIIDIMG BASKET The word Indian is much in die news nowadays in a context that Is most encouraging to the thoughtful person who feels It is time tho "first Americans" should have their full rights In whatever ways seem most helpful, practical and just to all concerned. Several weeks ago I read "Stub born Fool," by Kstcllc Aubrey Brown (Caxton Printers, Caldwell, Idaho, 1952), and I have thought often about the book since then. It is the story, written In lively fashion, of 18 years in various In dian schools teaching the children taken out of Indian lodges, in schools lacking most everything that the modern school has now. This book tells quite honestly and with almost startling irankness how the schooling was carried on. Esther Brown was 16 when her father, In New York State, called her a "stubborn fool" for her no tion of wanting to teach kinder garten to Indian children! Says the author: "The story these people enact Is an American siory, yet it is known to few Americans. Be cause it should be known to all, the story is told by a woman who lived it, who has found much of It infamous, and who freely confess es her own shabby part in it." There Id nothing "shabby" In the way the teachers rose to the emergency when most of the 200 pupils In the trow t'reek Indian school came down with measles. No sanitary facilities. No hospital. No nurse other than already over burdened teachers and other em ployees at the school. No heating in the dormitories, and loro weath er outside. Think of little children having to get up out of bed, as need arose, in that bitter cold) "There was no water in the dor mitory and the means of heating it was limited to the top of the stove downstairs. We tried to heat enough to wash each patient's face once a day. . . Almost I forgot there were ways of life that did not smell horribly, where hands and feet were not aching with cold." (Nothing 'shabby' about in defatigable service like that!) Mrs. Brown writes vividly. One sees the Indian parents squatting patiently long hours in the snow, not know ing what was happening to their children, Just waiting, , , The National Parent Teacher program is this year to nay spe cial attention to the welfare of In dian children. The Daughters of the American Revolution have. since their beginning, worked to that end. Initeed they have fur many years supported several In dian schools, schools very differ ent to those of SO years ago .when F.stelle Aubrey Brown w as a "stub born fool" In sticking to her work for 16 years at teacher In the Indian Service.

Mackey, commission er of immigration, has jumped on I.anger over the sordid racket in human misery. Senator Pat Mc Carran, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has, warned the Young Pakistanian League. The League consists of a "Dr." Aly Khan, of Phoenix, Arizona. He slips Laneer the names of a doen I or so aliens at a time and the senator introduces a bill that stays deportation proceedings. At least that was the way it worked. I.anger now says he and hhan are no longer on speaking terms. The President can stop the rack et permanently by signing the im migration bill, and Langer can go back to taking care of North Da kota farmers. That's why they sent him to the Senate In the first place. Hear Fulton Lends Daily On KRNR, 9:15 P.M. A bombardment division of two medium jet bomber wines cor responds to an industry of 4,000 employees and a net worth of about 120 million dollars. WASHINGTON A congressional investigation of the alien immigration racket, staffed by agents on loan from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is planned by a House sub committee. Representative Francis Walter, Democrat of Pensylvania, has been assured of cooperation by the new attorney general, James P. McGranery. Walter heads the House Immigration subcommittee. He already has confessions from aliens in the U.S. who paid $1,500 to get into the country illegally. One of Walter's first witnesses should bi Senator William Lanyer, Renublican of North Dakota, who has a Strang? affinity for aiding alien seamen to remain in the U. S., especially those from Pak istan. He does it by introducing bills calling for naturalization of ship jumping seamen bills that never get beyond the committee but do block deportation proceedings. Langer Is now running for re election, beginning will a prim ary fight next Tuesday June 24 which might put a sudden end lo his political hopes. So it mav be of interest lo voters in North Dakota to note that out of approximately 1,000 alions he has aided in the last five years, fewer than a dozen arc relatives of North Dakota residents. Lancer, in the present Congress, lntrofiuccd bills for 220 Pakistanis, manv of whom paid as high as $1,500 for the privilege of staying in the U.S. for two years or long er, depending on their success in hiding out. An outfit known as the Young Pakistanian League picks up the cash and persuades Langer to introduce the deportation slay measures. It is anybody s guess why the senator from North Da kota is so eager to aid seamen from Pakistan. Immigration authorities are try ing to stem the tide of illegal aliens rolling across U. S. borders. Some of them arc Communists, others are ineligible for entry be cause of disease or other reasons. In fact, immigration authorities right now are trying lo keep track of 10 alleged Reds who can thank Senator Langer for their extended visit here. Under new legislation approved by the House and Senate the traf fic in Illegal aliens would be cur tailed. Mr. Truman, on 'he advice of a collection of congressional knot-heads who want lo open up our borders to half Hie population of Europe and Asia, is threaten ing to veto the bill. It's estimated that there are over 200.000 illegal aliens in the U.S. right now and if the President rejects the new immigration bill the number will grow rapidly. Langer can get away with his aid to aliens because the Immigra tion Service and the Justice De partment refuse to remove an il legal entrant so long as legislation on his b.'half is awaiting congres sional action. This applies solely to the Senate, however. In the House. Representative Walter has refused to allow members of the immigration subcommittee to run an alien racket. His group simply votes, in effect, to kill such bills, thereby permitting the Justice De partment to go ahead with depor tation proceedings. If not on missions of subversion for Moscow, most of the aliens aV rive In the V. S. looking for jobs. Many live like pack rats in tene ments, saving their earnings un til the day they are caught and ordered back to their homelands. In most countries a U. S. dollar goes a lot farther than It does here. Some alieni return with six- similar circumstances on charges of gambling, has his case now on appeal to the Supreme Court. The Hennessey case was heard in Clackamas County by Judge E. K. Oppenheimer, Portland.

The Supreme Court said that Hennessey's testimony to the grand jury. In which lie admitted he operated a gambling game, was improperly used against him at his trial.
