Science Fiction?
You don't have to delve deep! into the jat
to uncwrr some far-out "scicnti'ic" predictions
that ahead v appear to have !kt:i forgotten in
the mad scramble of researchers to out-predict

not only unrealized but, if anything, fanlier or!
than ever. Coukl it l tliat rats are naturally

RODEO?
Rodeos are a glamorized spectacle which
is basically commercialized cruelty involv
ing several million dollars in gate receipts
every year. Countless numbers of animals
are crippled, some are killed and nearly all
are tormented.
Behind the scenes practise sessions go on
all year. Animals numbering in the hundreds
of thousands are used time after time while
men practise their riding and roping ability
all in the name of AMUSEMENT.
The animals do not find it amusing. If
you feel compassion for ALL life, you can
help by NOT attending rodeos.
Steer busting is the crudest event in the
U. S. and can be classed with the middle
ages bull-fighting spectacle.
