X THURSDAY, APRIL IB. 1968 Evant Attends Rites (Continued From Page 2) * forth across town. At one time, I had men from California, Seattle, Louisville, Maine, Chicago, Newark, and Kansas City in my bus. All These had flown in this morning and were leaving this evening. One man stood for more than an hour with a bead of sweat on the end of his nose. The press was just lousy, •specially the European press. Yelling, cursing, shoving, standing in the path of the cortege, blocking the pathofthe family a nd close friend for “just one more’*. I wonder what the paper headlines would have said had I done what I felt moved to do. "WHITE METHOD»! MINIS TER SPARKS RIOT" But really, the mood of the crowd was such that I don’t think I could have started a riot with a fire hose. Deliver us from temptation. This was the only real sour note of the day. An Atfanta patrolman marched past, head high, spit and polish all the way, and a three-foot spider web trailing from the peak of his helmet. Atlanta has done a tremen dous job in the last three days. I am thoroughly impressed by the way things have been handled, by the Mayor, the Police, the churches, and the negro community, even the weather came through. TheCity government lias been very care ful to do things just right, without a show of power, or force, but yet in an orderly manner. It helps to have one of the finest police forces in the world. This force is just magnificent -- well-trained, well-paid, well-disciplined,and many of them have been hired right out of the ghetto. Lester Maddox boycotted the whole day's affairs. There were all kinds of people here today -- the rich, the poor, the proud, the meek. A proud, overweight woman in a bright orange dress kicked off tier expensive high heels and stood smack on top of a 1968 Lincoln to get a better view. A meek little lady sat on the front porch of her tenement tiouse and tried to knit. But as 1 watched from a hiddencorner, she made error after error, and liad to redo It each time. Finally she quit and left. Her eyes were red when she later reappeared, and just sat, and rocked, and didn’t watch. Fashionable young women stood and talked with their flabby, misshaped, mothers, and didn’t worry about who might see them. Sharply dressed youths and young men stood in groups and eyed the girls for a time, and then lost Interest, and just stood. One youth came by, his hair dyed green, and wearing a suit to LOOKING FOR OIL 4 GREASE? match. Then came one in purple. But they were alone. No one wanted them. One color stood out -- black. Black dresses. Black suits. Black hats. Black faces. Yes, black faces stood out. Because there were few of any other color. A sea of black, broken only here and (tore by the bright colors of a young girl who chose to wear tier Easter dress early. And green and purple hair. And hippies’ toads' and trinkets. And Black Muslim’s toads. And Negro nuns' faces outlined in white. All these people were brought together here by an event they did not fully comprehend. Or believe. Hut there were more, White students sttxxl around In groups, uncertain. A middle age female photographer wore a too-short black filmy dress, and a pair of too-blg eyeshades. Dignitaries tried to look somber and politic at the same time. Have you ever tried that? Bobby Kennedy has wrinkles on his face. Romney is short. Sammy Davis is a gentleman. McCarthy handled himself as tiefitting the occasion - - quietly, without fan fare, completely sincere. Another temptation -- watch VIP* There were some ugly words. But It seemed that noone really wanted destruction tonight. George Wallace opened his campaign here the night King was killed. Standing outside and across the street, we could hear tiie singing of the choirs and con- g regal ion inside. Maiialia Jackson and Leontyne Price were beautiful 1 was standing a hundred yards away, and could hear them clearly without a PA system. When the service In the church was finished, the casket with the body was brought out and placedonan old farm wagon, with steel-rimmed andwaiden- spoke - w hee I s. Some 20-30 thousand marchers had been sent on ahead. Then the long trip began. Away from the Etonezer Baptist Church. Past the Wmk Cleaners. The Lamp kin Bros. Cleaners. Hauga- brooks Funeral Home.

Through downtown Atlanta. Out to More house College. What did we do today? Did we honor the man? Or the symbol. No, we need not choose, for we honored both the man and the symbol The man who became a symbol, and the symbol who was a man. The slave’s grandson, who was killed while fighting for garbage collectors, borne on his last journey by a mule-drawn farm wagon, in a wood box, is gone now. The VIP’s have left. The world is left alone with It’s problem again. Can we solve it? 1 don’t know, but 1 have seen history made today.

They re turned home the following Tuesday. 450,000 Anglers (Continued From Page 1) Springs is now closed by snow but may to open by April 20. Some top trout bets in the district include the gravel pit ponds such as Roulet, North Powder Ponds number 1 and 2, Haines Ponds number 1 and 2, Highway 203 Pond, and Wyatt Reservoir. Although weather can change the picture rapidly, it appears that most streams in the John Day Basin will be in fair to good condition. Stream flows are well below average, and there is very little snowpack in the main tains. Best angling opportunities will be found in rehabilitated sections of the John Day River system that have been restocked with trout. Rainbow trout running 8 to 12 inches are aton dan! in the section of river extending *rom Dayville down river toward Kimberly. This region is expected to be good angling until water tempera tures get warm. The South Fork John Day River throughout the lower ten miles should be good to excel lent for rainbows. Some fair to good rainbow angling is ex pected in the North Fork John Day River in the vicinity of Monument and upriver toward the confluence of the Middle Fork. The Middle Fork John Day River should produce some excellent rainbow trout in the section between Big Creek and Ritter. Camas Creek was rehabili tated last summer throughout the lower ten-mile reach along Highway 395 and has been re- stocked with rainbows. This section should provide excellent angling for rainbows throughout the early summer. Although Magone Lake and Bull Prairie Lake have been open the year round, these areas are offering excellent brook trout and rainbow angling for bank and boat anglers. Canyon Meadows Impound ment will not fill this spring due to lack of runoff, Severe water level fluctuation during the paM several years causes this lake to be unpredictable for angling. There are some excellent catches of rambow ex ceeding 12 inches taken occa sionally. Other fish available are cutthroat and brook trout. Depending upon weather con ditions, fishing in Wallowa County could be very good or very poor. Wallowa Lake has been stocked quite heavily with legal sized rainbow. If warm weather is the rule, a few kokanee may also be caught by boat anglers trolling spinners and bait. I I I I « NYSSA I I U! $2.79 MORTONS MERRILLS LARGE AA CREME PIES EGGS GALLON 10 LB.
