Hollywood Makes History... In a new motion picture, "Far Horizons," Hollywood gives the last word on what wood was used by Lewis and Clark in de cendinc the Clearwater. The picture tells and demonstrates that : neither pine pirogues or Western red cedar dugouts or cotton wood shells were used. Lewis, Clark, Gass, Shannon, Cruzatt, Sacajawea, and all the rest came down in the birchbark canoes of the Iroquois, ho less, Hollywood reveals. Cut canoes, each holding three or four, no more. The men of the expedition pick the best trees from the great birch forests of 4he Clearwater, peel them down, shoot and skin deer and bind the bark in place with thongs of seasoned buck skin. Then, as Hollywood makes the Lewis and Clark history, Captain Clark tries to elope with Saca jawea while the plain hands are hard at work in the giant birches of the Clearwater. Captain Lewis catches Clark and slugs him, and it is great movie fight there between the two commissioned officers until Sergeant Gass, a grizzled old veteran of the Rey-1 olution, comes -up, hollers, "Shame on you boys!" and stops the brawl. .. . There is a gunfight 'with the Indians. In the slaughter three soldiers of the expedition are slain. The rest want to turn back", for their enlistments are up, but Sacajawea, who speaks very good English, appeals to their better natures and they volun teer to go on to "the great salt water." So says Hollywood. Prime Keystone Comedy... Many now living have never seen an old-time Keystone com edy and never hope to see one. I saw them all in the old days. Never did I see one as funny as this vista, screen play in many . colors, about persons who are given the names of heroes and heroine of the expedition of 1804 1806 in reality one of the greater glories of , American history. "Far Horizons" is the funniest thing on reels. Go to see it' in that spirit, and you will enjoy it. . Historical dates are disregard ed, in the movie for no apparent reason except that of getting laughs. This alone is not so very funny. But when you see the lean, handsome and debonair Captain Meriwether Lewis of 28 years played by meaty sluggish . Fred McMurray, who is nigh on 50, and Captain William Clark pictured as a skinny red-headed kid lieutenant, yet in the Army, in 1803, real humor appears. Clark comes to Virginia and he and Lewis start feuding over a lass named Julia. Actually Clark had been -out of the Army for many years, managing the family estate in . Kentucky. He was four years older than Lewis. Poor Sacajawea .. . Hollywood history does away with Baptiste, who in real his tory was carried. and cared for in the best tradition of mother hood, by Mrs. Touissant Char bonneau, who is variously called Sakakawea and Sacajawea by historians. Charbanneau spoke Sioux, Minatree and other In dian tongues, as well as French. He was hired as an interpreter and was permitted to bring his wife along. But you should hear the hot conversations in plain American that the Indian "maiden" has with Captain Clark in the comic movies. Charbanneau is onlypur suing her in the picture. He and Clark slug it out and roll in the mud, all for Sacajawea. The fight is within a circle of enlisted men of the U. S Army, and Clark's rating is that of a commissioned captain. So it is a very funny fight. Sacajawea is brought back all the way to Washington in her private birchbark canoe, to show President Jefferson what won derful birch forests grow along the Clearwater, the Snake and the Columbia. But white squaw Julia, she say, "Injun, go home!" Sacajawea so sorry and say, "Me go." Then she take wrong river and drown in Chesapeake Bay ... . ., Sesame Makes New Gains as Cash Crop Despite Droughts Paris, Tex. (U.B Sesame, a cash crop new to the western hemisphere but grown in the valley of the Nile, in China and in India 1,000 years before Christ, made considerable gain despite ravaging drought in the second year of its production in Texas. The total 1954 yield was 1,200,000 pounds of superior oil seed which, at 9.6 cents per pound, brought growers a total of $115,000, the Texas Sesame Seed Growers Session reported. 'We could have marketed 5,000,000 pounds of the sesame seed at the same price if it had been available," said Robert Parker, managing director of the association. "About half the crop was exported to foreign crush ing mills and the remaining half sent to the baking trade in the United States.' ' . Parker said that "from this point on there is no question of available markets for sesame. The seed - is used - both as a food and for crushing as oil and meal, and because of its wide usage it is not likely to be in surplus for many years to come.? Ancient Uses . The new cash crop is drought tolerant, relatively free from insects and diseases, yields highly superior vegetable oil and, said Parker, is under no U. S. Department of Agriculture acreage restrictions. In ancient times, sesame was used by. Hindu priests in religi ous ceremonials and Greek war riors carried it as an early fore runner of the K-ration. To All Baba and his 40 thieves, "sesa me" was the magic word that opened the door to their hide away cave.. ... . The sesame being produced in Texas is Renner No. 1, developed at Texas Research Foundation at Renner, Tex., near Dallas. Farmers in more than 50 of Texas' 254 counties planted sesame commercially ' in 1954. Yields on the Coast were ur to ouu pounds of seed per acre without irrigation; in the high plains from 700 to 1,200 pounds per acre were produced under irrigation. ... . r .- Daly's U-Drivo Medford Airport vM mm (KK X 4 Wmw k N ' V apiOllSIDS Richer Nu Made Wonderful for Mixing Finest Quality at Any Pricel Full Quart Dairy Chocolate Lac-Mix Makes 5 Quarts of Rich Chocolate Drink ... 1-lb.
