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 .-
