HIGHEST LIONS HONOR
TO BOB HOPE
Comedian Bob Hope accepts the 1971 Lions International
Humanitarian Award from Dr. Robert D. McCullough of Tulsa,
Oklahoma, President of the world’s largest humanitarian ser
vice organization.
The award was given to Hope for his continuous efforts and
work in behalf of sight conservation and eye research, one of
the major concerns of Lions Clubs throughout the world.
The presentation was made this past weekend in Washington,
D.C., because film commitments will prevent Hope from attend
ing the Lions w’orld convention in Las Vegas this June.

Herb Sez... Owyhee Riding Club To Help
Vice president Agnew isn’t
always right but I think he’s
right when he claimed the people
of the United States have a
negative attitude. We cry about
everything both good and bad.
When the stock market goes up,
that’s bad because it’s going to
have to come down. When it’s
going down that’s bad because
it isn’t going up. We used to
have hazy days before we learn
ed the term 'inversion* now we
have smoggy days. All days
must be smoggy because we
seldom hear of the beautiful
ones. We rightly cried about
500,000 men being in Vietnam,
but we’re not praising the Lord
that only half as many are there
now. Instead we hear a louder
commotion to bring them all
out immediately. It’s sort of
like howling at the moon, we
know it can’t be done that rapidly
but today we like to hear our
selves howl.
Dozens of times I’ve made the
statement, “We know that Lake
Superior is a sludge pond of
industrial wastes.” The listen
er without exception has readily
agreed. The silly part is when
I stood on the shores of Lake
Superior last fall the waters
were
crystal clear. The
beaches hadn’t a trace of slime,
sediment or algae.
People
were playing on the beach and
enjoying the water.
But it
is fashionable to find fault with
everything today so they agree
that the waters of Lake Superior
are the consistancy of mud.
Years ago a Catholic priest
told me this little poem—
As a rule a man’s a fool
When it’s hot he wants it cool
When it’s cool he wants it hot,
He’s always wanting what is not.
Today we do have a pollut
ion problem but shutting down
all industry isn’t the answer.
It took us years to get into
this mess and we’re not going
to cure it over night. In the
meantime let’s not cry that all
is lost and we have nothing to
live for. Let’s recognize that
we have the world’s highest
standard of living, millions of
acres of beautiful, rolling farm
land, millions of acres of un-
roaded forests, millions of
acres of roaded, beautiful
forests, and more millions of
acres of majestic
deserts.
Let’s try counting our blessings
for a change and see if we
don’t feel better.
