Tom Wrigley Writes from WASHINGTON

^ Tttl!«•) U

RISING PRICES are causing apprehension in Administration circles, butarbitrary controls on wages and onprices are not considered the remedy.Inflation, our "major internal problem",as President Eisenhower terms it, willremain for some time to come. It willbe a political football in the Congressional elections a year from now.Arguments over whom to blame arecontinuing even during this dull seasonin the Capital. Have higher wagescaused higher prices, or did higherprices bring about higher wages? It'sa question like the old one about thechicken and the egg: which came first?There i.s hope that a gradual levelingoff of the inflation spiral will keep thesituation within bounds. Fixed priceand wage controls in peace time havenot improved living standards in Russia. The President urges self-restraintin buying. We have the biggest incomein history but that should not bringreckless spending, he points out. Record buying during recent months hasraised installment buying to a new peak.The people owe about $33 billion forthings they bought on the cuff—autos,household appliances, even luxuryitems. Banks and finance companies,however, are gradually tightening upon credit, giving more care to making

loans. The biggest need, experts declare, is for more savings. There is notenough money in savings to supply thereal borrowing needs of individuals,companies and government. Save alittle more, spend a Httle less, will strikea real blow at inflation. The 100 percent dollar of World War II days isnow worth 49 cents.

★ ★ ★

TELEPHONES FOR DEFENSE and

other communication devices are keeping pace with the development ofguided missiles. The "walkie-talkies"of the last war are obsolete. Wristradios are in use and wrist telephonesmay be next. Phones in fighting planesand bombers are constantly being improved to an astounding degree.

ANOTHER CHAIN LETTERSCHEME has been turned down bythe Post Office Department. You sendin two golf balls and ultimately if thechain is not broken you get back 200.

★ * ★

WE'RE PAYING JAPANESEWORKERS PLENTY even if Federalemployes did not get the pay raise theywanted. Taking army ground forcesout of Japan threw 70,000 Japanesecivilians out of jobs, but they are notstarving. They get severance paychecks ranging up to ninemonths'salaryand unemployment insurance for sixmonths. The unemployment insuranceis equivalent to 60 per cent of theirregular pay.

^ ^

REPORTERS' EXPENSE ACCOUNTS from Newport, R, I., fromwriters, photographers, TV and radiobroadcasters covering President Eisenhower's vacation were the biggest inyears. That vacation will go down inthe books as the most widely coveredin White House history, with a total ofwell nigh 150 people on the list.

★ ★ *

YOU CUT THE BUDGET this yearin the biggest economy wave to hitfederal government spending in years.It was the protest of the folks backhome at the grass roots level whichcaused Congress to make big slashes inspending. Once in a while the peopledo speak up.

★ ★ *

THOSE LITTLE BILLS passed byCongress in the final days get smallpublicity. One of them changes therules so Senators can no longer standon the Senate floor and, pointing to thegallery, proudly introduce home towndelegations, beauty queens, cake baking champions and such. Another billwiped out an import tax claim of $340,-

540 against a New Orleans firm on ashipment of mint wafens. The government taxed them at $1.75 per packageinstead of per 100 packages. And theCheyenne River Sioux Tribal Councilwon $97,.580 in settlement of claimsfor expenses in negotiating a new landagreement.

BULLET-PROOF LIZARDS andsnakes that eat bats have been sent tome Smithsonian Institution from Cuba.The tough hide of the lizards and their

Your Grand Lodge Committee on LodgeActivities Offers You a Plan of ActionSeveral weeks ago, Chairman Joseph F. Bader of the Grand Lodge Com

mittee on Lodge Activities mailed his PLAN OF ACTION to all ExaltedRulers and Secretaries, with the request that it be read immediately, andposted on all lodge bulletin boards for ready reference.

This Plan covers the Committee's program for the current Grand Lodgeyear and its contents should be made familiar to every member of tlie Order.

Included in the Plan are the Committee's decisions in relation to variousactivities of the Order, several of which will be matters for Award to bepresented at the 1958 Grand Lodge Session.

F^hantom WorDon ii (HI his luck, Bick had been dcicrminvd to play it sdj'p (md ]iad

iv(ni1('<l no jxwt <)j (I joti <1^ full oj risk as this oiip promisod to be.

He had that uneasy feeling AGAIN, It cume when the

iTiiin-made sounds of the constructioncamp subsided and those of the islandjnngle took over; when the lights wentyut and l)lack Caribbean night creptdown the walls of Janin Gorge.

BY HUGH B. CAVE

Tonight the feeling would not leavehim, and Bick stood listening at the doorof his shack. Listening for what? Astealthy step—whimpers—some sort ofsignal? One or all of those things, per-liaps. Or nothing.

Bick had warned Pierre Dejean, in

charge of the work gang, to put an extrawatchman on the dam tonight, with thejob so nearly finished. But what if Dejean had chosen the wrong man? Apeasant worker secretly employed byJules Marnot would look like any other.

He turned to frown at the alarm clock

ningon the^ homemade table bv his cot, hisnerves nagged by its noisy ticking. Oneo'clock. He liad to be on the job at daybreak, sleep or no, to begin the lastpouring of concrete. Beside the clockstood a framed snapshot of a laxighinggirl in tennis costume. He grinned backat her, but his grin was wry.

"Baby, if that doubting father ofyours could see Tom Bickford now , . ."

The grin was short lived. He couldn'tjust stand here, waiting for somethingto happen and praying it wouldn't. Hetook his flashlight and quietly went out.

The shadow loomed large, moving swiftly. Bick stopped it witha shaft of light and looked over the gun barrel into a face.

Illustrated by FRANK GOLDEN

The night was black as Mamotsheart. A saboteur would love such anight. Eighty men slept within yellingdistance, but even the grass-roofedshacks they slept in were invisible. Bickdescended to the river and walked upstream, feeling his way around boulders—hard work and slow, but more directthan climbing the canyon wall to thetruck road. Just let him see the watchman's lanterns. The feeling would goaway then and let him sleep.

Not much water in the river now.Only a dry-season trickle squeezingthrough the opening in the dam base,like sand through the waist of an hourglass. A month hence, when the drench-ings began, the stream would be athundering torrent. But by then thedam would be ready to contain it. storing the flood for later use in the sugarflelds of the valley. Ready in time,despite all the mysterious breakdownsand accidents. . . .

Bick halted. Fifty feet high, the massive arch filled the gorge before him,concrete and steel sheathed in a corset

of wooden forms. High on the catwalkthe lights winked: glowworms walkingan invi.sible rope across the abyss. Helingered a moment to savor the triumph.Your dad ought to see this, Donna. Yonought to see it. His own first sight ofthis mountain wilderness, months before, had made him shudder, he recalled.

Suddenly he held his breath. Highabove, one of the watchmen had haltedto lean over the catwalk railing, thelantern outthrust in space as he peereddown. His voice, a sharp challenge,rang throiigh the gorge.

"Who is that? What are you doingdown there?"

The answer was abrupt. A flicker offlame at the base of the dam; the unexpected thunder of a revolver shot.The watchman pitched into space likea huge bat with outspread wings.Weirdly the lantern plummeted throughthe dark, while the walls of the gorgetossed a scream of terror back and forth.

With knots in his stomach, Bickleaped forward.

The explosion came while he was stillthirty yards from the barrier, at the veryinstant when he realized that the manat the base of the dam had slipped pasthim in the dark and would escape. Onesullen blast ripped through the gorge;then a gale of wind between the canyonwalls slammed him off his feet.

He fell among boulders, staggered upand fell again when his knees buckled.Fighting oblivion, he heard the land

slide roar of shattered forms and concrete, his own lonely voice sobbing "No,no!" . . . and that was it.

HOEVER did it is a better engineer than either of us," Dejean

said with a glum head-shake. "Thecharge was placed just right to do themost damage." A slender, dark man inhis early thirties, he stood wide-leggedat Bick's side in the sunlight, scowlingup at the jagged gash in the dam."We're set back three weeks. More, ifthe workers are scared. Mamot willdance a jig in the capital today."

Bick could find no words. Under alayer of bandage his head throbbedfiendishly where a flying chunk of concrete had laid open his scalp, but thegreater ache was inside him.

Dejean was right. When told whathad happened—and the telling wouldbe in the form of a report from thesaboteur himself, Bick svispected—JulesMarnot would rub his hands in triumph.For Tom Bickford, this was the end.

It was a forlorn business. In the beginning he had wanted no part of ajob as full of risk as this one promisedto be. Down on his luck, the Bickfoi'dEngineering Company all but ruined bya series of misfortunes, he had beendetermined to play safe and keep outof trouble. Beliind him lay six monthswork on a mountain road which, in thewink of an eye, had been wiped out bya land-slide. Before that, four monthsof back-breaking toil on a pier and seawall which had been tossed in his teeth,a mass of debris, by the worst tropicalhurricane in years.

When bad luck backed a man againstthe ropes in such fashion he lost morethan money. He lost faith in himself.But then, with his mind made up to letJules Marnot have the Janin Gorge jobwithout a fight, Bick had fallen in love-desperately in love, with Donna Richie.

She was a special kind of girl. Hehad met her the week after she returnedfrom college in the States, when shecame to him to extoll the merits of anew truck her father was importing-Bick knew her father: a big man, admired and respected in his adoptedcoimtry; a man who had come up thehard way, from nothing. He didn tknow the girl. When he saw her thatday for the first time, he was breakingground for a small sisal plant on thecity's outskirts—a small, safe job.

Flat on his back under a balky bulldozer, his face puddled with oil, Bickpeered up at her. Nice legs, he thought.

The strange little woodcock never does what would be expected.

The woodcock is a smprising bird.He is surprising any way you look at

him, which is usually behind him whenyou are shooting. I think he evensurprises himself. At least I never sawone which didn't have a wide-eyed,astonished look on his face.

To start with, the woodcock is anupland game bird—one of the very best—yet by nature he is not an uplandbird at all. Instead, he is close kin tothe many long-legged, sharp-billed,teeter-tail birds seen scurrying alongthe edge of beakers at the seashore.Ornithologists classify him in the OrderLimicolae, which includes the sandpipers, yellowlegs, curlews, plovers, andeven a few fuzzy characters with suchunlikely names as knot and stilt; anda shorebird he obviously is. In fact,he is so similar in general appearanceto some of these that there is likelv a

bespectacled bird-watcher or two who

wouldn't know a woodcock from a jack-snipe if he held one in his hand.

The woodcock is a shorebird goneastray. The grandfather of all timber-doodles apparently got tired of havingwet feet all the time and took to thehills. He forsook the crowded beachesand big salt marshes for the tangledcorners of birch and alder where wefind him today.

For another thing, the woodcock isessentially nocturnal, different fromeither the related shorebirds or hisadopted tribe of upland birds. Plus thishe is a solitary creature—except whenpaired off during the spring nestingseason—never associating in groups orflocks with others of his kind.

He is a waif, a lonely orphan. Heis a ground-loving bird that flies reluctantly and then for a comparativelyshort distance, seemingly incapable ofany prolonged flight; yet somehow.

wandering alone and at night, individuals manage to travel all the wavfrom eastern Canada to Louisiana andback each year.

One of the most suiprising thingsabout this strange little bird—againcompletely out of keeping with eitherhis cousins, the shorebirds, or his associates, the upland birds—is his courtingdance and song. A woodcock hunterhearing this performance for the firsttime wouldn t recognize it ' as comingfrom a woodcock; it is so out of character with the bird's appearance andnormal behavior.

The courting dance commences inearly spring and continues each evening, apparently, as long as the femaleis setting. The male bird starts hisact in a small clearing near the hedgerow or woodlot where his mate sitson her eggs. For a while he strutsabout pompously, his little tail erect

and spread and his wings drooping,pausing occasionally to emit a sharpbuzz—like the sound of a high-voltagecuiTcnt sparking across a gap—twistinghis head abruptly as he does so. Aftergoing through these clownish antics fora few moments, he suddenly jumpsinto the air and spirals high into theevening sky, his wings whistling in thefamiliar pattern, climbing until he isjust a dot far overhead. As he nearsthe top of this flight, his wing motion—and accompanying whistling sound-becomes interrupted, coming in spurtsin ever-increasing tempo; then, suddenly, he turns earthward, letting goall holds, and descends in abrupt,erratic darts from side to side. Nowcomes the climax, the most unbelievablepart of the whole affair. This is thesong. The characteristic wing whistleis replaced by a sudden burst of music,filling the evening air with a series ofmelodic notes, as clear and ringing as

though struck from tiny bells. Then,as suddenly as he departed a minute ortwo previous, he swoops down andalights gently in the same cleaiing, inthe fading light appearing gnome-likewith his owl eyes and false-face bill.Again he struts around awkwardly,giving each buzz everything he haswith an emphatic twist of the head,then abruptly takes off again in thesame pattern of flight and musical decent. This performance continues untilalmost dark; then, as though exhaustedby all his effort, he squats, his headsunk on his shoulders and his long billpointed obliquely toward the ground,and goes to sleep.

To anyone familiar with the woodcock in October, this entire show is acontradiction. No one who has huntedhim through the autumn hills would believe the woodcock capable of makingsuch dainty music. But that is the essence of this strange little bird, to be

s

and to do anything but what wouldnormally be expected of him, and thatis probably his outstanding quahty as agame bird. As surprising as he may bein all these respects, he is never quite sosurprising as when he jumps suddenlyout of the dry leaves at the hunter's feetand darts ofiF across the alder tops, leaving a couple of hasty and futile shotsbehind him.

As bird hunters go, I lay claim to being pretty fair on ruffed grouse. Everyso often I hit one I shouldn't, and I mayeven make two or three good shots in aday. Then a woodcock will burst upin my face, go fluttering through thebirches and leave me with an emptygun and completely deflated. I knowthat a woodcock isn't as difficult a targetas a ruffed grouse. He doesn't fly as fastor as far, and he doesn't flush as wild—in fact, I've known them to flush soclose that they have risen inside the end

Since he lies tight, the elusive woodcock is ideal game for a good bird dog.11

LEST WE FORGET

\\j~VETERANS DAY,

NOVEMBER 11th.

A** f»i a • ♦ Munuv •« mj f --fiA:

Elks throughout America will join their local veterans organizations in tlie annual observance of Veterans Day on November 11th.

While the nation pauses to reflect upon its great debt to those whobore arms in all wars, it is fitting that Elks recall the early days oftheir outstanding service to those who served. These were the daysbefore and after the signing of the Ai'mistice of World War I.

First in War

World War I found our governm«it unprepared, in many areas ofmedical facilities, for battle casualties. The aid of the Order of Elks wassought. As a result the first two field hospitals to arrive on the battlefields of France were made possible by the financial aid of the Elks.They were Base Hospital No. 41 staffed by the University of Virginia,and Base Hospital No. 46 staffed by the University of Oregon.

First in Peace

At the end of the war it was discovered that existing Federal hospitalswere totally inadequate to care for the unprecedented number of returning maimed, wounded and sick veterans. While the slow process oflegislation to correct the situation was in progress, the Order of Elksspeedily constructed a 700-bed hospital in Boston and turned it over tothe government on November 16, 1918, five days after the bugles called"Cease Firing". Thus, was the first veterans' facility made available afterthe declaration of the Armistice. It was also the first reconstructionhospital for veterans in the history of our country and it was the forerunner of our present-day Veterans Administration hospitals.

Shortly thereafter our government set up a vocational training programfor the rehabilitation of disabled and handicapped veterans. Unfortunately, in the haste to establish these benefits, no provisions weremade for the veteran's transportation from his home to the varioustraining centers, nor were finances available for food or lodging while heawaited his first allotment. The Order of Elks immediately set up a$500,000.00 revolving fund to provide quick loans to tide the veteransover this period. Without this fund many of them would not have beenin a position to avail themselves of the training they sought. Legislationultimately caught up with this deficiency and provided governmentfunds to carry on the program the Elks had instituted. This was the firstfinancial assistance ever offered to veter^ins in a situation of this kind

and could be considered the groundwork for today's "G.I. Loans".

First in the Hearts of All Elks

Space does not permit the detailing of the many and varied servicesperformed by Elks in the interest of our nation's defenders in all wars.Through the years, pages in The Elks Magazine have recorded thesedeeds. It is significant, however, that while the Elks are primarily dedicated to fraternal, civic, youth and charitable endeavors, the veteran whooffered his life, if necessary, for his country will always be "FIRST INTHE HEARTS OF ALL ELKS".

INDOCTIUNATION-WHAT IT IS AND WHY

A MessageOur major projectfor Elkdom's 90th Year is aplanned andcomprehensive indoctrination of new members. Brieflyand frankly,it means selling Elkdom to Elks. Primarily directed at new members at the time of their initiation, its beneficial results will spreadto our entire membership.

Let's face the facts. Fact No. 1: The Order of Elks has for manyyears enjoyed a substantial net gain in membership, but tliis netgain could be so much larger were it not for losing the membei-swho drop out each year, not because they lost interest, but becausethey never acquired the interest that sparks the rest of us. Fact No.2; The working Elks, the devoted and dedicated members who giveso much to Elkdom, represent only a small percentage of our totalmembership. The significant fact is that this interest and devotionthat spark our working Elks were acquired by them some timeafter initiation, and often by accident or coincidence. Let's givethis interest and devotion to all of our members, at the time ofinitiation, and by plan. That, in substance, is indoctrination. Ofcourse, we will always have some members only occasionally participating in any program or activity, social or otherwise; but if wecan make more working Elks, then the good works of Elkdom willbe increased in direct proportion. Let's share what we have foundwith our own Brothers who have not yet found it.

I am not suggesting any departure from our initiation ritual. Oursis a beautiful ritual and I love it, but a fraternal organization musthave much more than a ritual to hold its members. The Order ofElks has much more, l)ut we have too long left it to chance for ourmembers to find out. How can we expect our members to endorsethe Elks National Foundation until it has been explained or, betteryet, graphically demonstrated with the youth who received tlie^holarship, or the crippled child who was made to walk again?How can you expect your members to know about your Boy Scouttroop, your youth program, your bowling team or your pinochletournament unless they arc told about it? How can you expectyour new members to attend your next meeting if you don't tellthem when it will be and how easy it is for them to gain admission?

A planned indoctrination of new members will answer all of thesequestions and many more. Let's make it easy for our new membersto join with us in full measure from the very first. The applicantfor membership has made the initial move, and we fail in our dutyto him and to our Order if we do not demonstrate to him why it isthat we so proudly say that ELKDOM'S RECORD is indeedAMERICA'S REWARD.

Already I have seen indoctiination in action. The response tothis program has been truly remarkable, which simply proves thatindoctrination supplies a need that we have too long neglected.Through indoctrination, Elkdom continues its march toward widerhorizons and another banner year.

OBSERVE THE OPPORTUNITY- Blackledge Urges Increased Support of Girl Scouts

TO MY BROTHER ELKS:

SINCE WORLD WAR II, our country's youth population has increased

tremendously, and will continue to increase at an even greater rate for yearsto come. In addition to the problem created by sheer numbers, the pressuresand confusions of this post-war periodmake more difficult the task of givingour youth sound development. It wasnever more necessary that we do allwithin our power to help young peoplethrough the vitally important formativeyears.

The Girl Scouts of the U. S. A. aredoing their best to meet this challenge.Today, more than two million girls arebeing trained to be better citizensthrough the Girl Scout program with itsemphasis on the development of re-soiirceful individuals imbued with thehighest moral principles and a desire toserve. But what about the other 12million girls in the Girl Scout age groupwho now are denied the advantages ofScouting? They, too, need the guidance, the leadership, the training indemocratic living that would help themto shape their futures; hut they cannever have these advantages unless wegive the Girl Scouts the resources en-?.bling tliem to reach these other millions of girls.

Many Elks lodges already are strongsupporters of the Girl Scouts. Theysponsor troops, give financial support,supply leadership and in many otherways are helping thousands of girls togrow up to be the kind of women whowill build better than they found. EveryElks lodge has this same opportunity tomake a similar contribution to America'sfuture by supporting the Girl Scouts. Iearnestly hope, and I stiongly urge,that our lodges act now to make theGirl Scout program an integral part oftheir youth activities. Consult the localGill Scout organization and find outhow your lodge can best contribute toa program that is doing such a wonderful job of youth development. Let usobserve the opportunity to the utmost inElkdom's 90th Year.

Follotv the summer down to South America,

BY HORACE SUTTON

Anybody who isn't very partial to- winter can follow the summer

clown to South America, where it mostcertainly—if things go the way they'vebeen going the past few eons—will bein residence during December, Januaryand February. I am not referring, forthe nonce, to that portion of the continent washed by the bathtub warm waters of the Caribbean Sea, for thoselands are warm around the calendar.

But take Brazil, for instance, or Argentina or Chile. You can go skiing acouple of hours out of Santiago of anAugust morning, so there is no reason,really, why you can't come up with adancly suntan on a February afternoon.

The funland of the whole continentis Rio de Janeiro, a city which is ch-vided into a business end and a playarea. Six miles separate the two c^uar-ters and to reach one from the otherrequires a fast ride—a cab will take youfor about half a dollar—through shinytunnels that have been dug under thehills. Much cheaper than the cabs areRio's bondes, or streetcars, which willtake you halfway to Ecuador for aboutthree cents. Two places of prime visitorinterest the trolleys do visit are Sugar

Loaf Mountain and the Corcovado. Ittakes two cable cars to get up the SugarLoaf. There is a magnificent view fromthe top of the complicated harbor ofRio de Janeiro. It takes a cog railwayto bring you to Corcovado, site of amassive statue of Christ.

Hotels and apartment houses line theseaside road at Copacabana the waythey line the beachfront in MiamiBeach, with the exception that here inBrazil the sea can be seen from theroadway.

Precious stones are the best buys inBrazil, and you can find a dazzlingarray of acjuamarines, tourmalines, amethyst and topaz. Many shopkeepershave them stuffed in their pockets.Tourists like to bring back the carvedhands, called figas, symbols of luck andfertility. The oddity shops carry brilliant blue butterflies trapped by Brazilian farmers, and huge snake skinsfrom the jungles of the Amazon. Temperature in December, January, February and March: low of 71, high of83, average of 77.

Buenos Aires is a sei-ious minded bigcity, beautiful as Paris is beautiful, andto any American from the northern con-

tinent, a complete surprise that anythingas magnificent and urbane flourishes sofar from home without attracting aliorcle of visitors. Buenos Aires's Ave-nicla 9 de Juho is ahuost wide enouglifor a pair of football fields placed endto end. There are great monuments andgreen parks where the Portenos playpolo. There is a subway and eleganthotels like the Plaza where you mightir.deed run into a Spanish speaking,brogue wearing, Irish chambermaidborn in Argentina.

There are two great buys in Argentina: steak and alHgator handbags. Ihave never forgotten a steak dinner forfour in Buenos Aires, wine included.N.hen the bill came to just over $5. Ithink of it tearfully when visiting NewYork's steak houses where you can'teven get one steak for S5 without thewine. Alligator bags are sold in a variety of shops, particularly along theFlorida, a .shopping center which during the morning shoppinghours is closedto traffic.

After eating a steak and buying abug, it is time to branch out daringlyand eat an empanada, which is a meatpie you eat with the fingers; chorizo, afrankfurter souped up with spices; orpucliero de gallina which is chicken,sausages, corn, potatoes and squashcooked in a stew. Thus fortified youcan return to the shopping areas andlook for .such secondary buys as nutria

ELKS NATIONAL FOUNDATION

Working with a cerebral palsied child at theChildren's Hospital inWaco, Texos, WilliamD. Elam helps with coordination exercises.

Mr. Elam was the recipient of a $450 Cerebral Palsy Grant fromthe Foundation last

March, enabling him toattend Children's Re

habilitation Institute in

Reisterstown, Md. Thelittle patient is oneamong the thirty whoreceive physical therapy regularly.

One of the gratifying aspects in the"Joy of Giving" is the reaction of thosewho benefit from the grants and donations and who in other ways have beenbrought in contact with the good worksof Elkdom through the work of theFoundation. The spirit of gratitude andhope for fulfillment of their ambitionsai-e reflected in the many letters, receivedby Past Grand Exalted Ruler John F.Malley, Chairman.

From Sharon L. Hostler of Rutland,Vermont, xcho teas one of the tcinners inthis year's "Most Valuable Student"competition:

"My Certificate of Award was presented to me by State Scholarship Chairman Lanigan on August 4th at Brook-field, Vt. I was extremely proud that theceremony took place at Silver Towerswhere the Vermont Elks are establishinga camp for mentally retarded children.My thoughts during the presentationcentered on the idea that my award

would prove also to be an investment inthe advancement of the mental healthprogram."

As recipient of an Emerp.ency Educational Fund grant, Robert BrooksWicker, III, icrites:

"As you are aware, I was notified thatI had been named a recipient of a $600Elks National Foundation scholarshipfor the coming academic year, 1957-'58.This, of course, came as a thrilling andwonderful surprise to me—probably mygreatest thrill in life. I wanted you, theFoundation Trustee.s, to be the first toknow how grateful I am to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

"My loftiest ambition, besides a medical degree, is to become a member ofgood standing in the Sanford B.P.O.E.,the lodge to which my late Dad belonged. Then, 'The shoe will be on theother foot.' Chances are I can compensate for the generosity and graciousnessshown me and mine by my fellow man."

George, who received o Foundation grant to enable him to study at New York Universityand who now is Administrator of the Center. On his left is Floyd Wood, Vocational Councelor.Others shown in back row are husbands and wives of Lawton, Okla., actively interested in theprogram. Photo was taken after a game in Lawton.

For Elks Who Travel(Continued from page 19)

coats, suede jackets, kid gloves andhand-made shoes, not to mention avicuna steamer rug. Winter lows runto the 60s, winter highs to thejnid-80s,and the average is in the low 70s. Notonly are the seasons reversed, but thefarther south one travels in Argentina,the colder it gets.

Between Argentina and Brazil liesthe happy resortland of Uruguay wherea string of beach resorts stretches for200 miles up the coastline. Ninetymiles from Montevideo is the swank resort of Punta del Este and you can visitthere as an excursionist for $5 includinglunch and tea. There is night life insummer (our winter) at the casinos,and swimming, yachting and water skiing in the sea. Anybody with money

left over (run for cover, fadier) willfind the nutria coats the best in SouthAmerica. Four hundred dollars will

fetch a nifty one.Peru is a curious cross between the

sophisticated city dweller of Lima, andthe Indian. The result is a mixture ofchic ladies and colorful Indians nowand again crossing before each other inLima's streets. Off in the shops are marvelous rugs of llama and silver workhandled with a modern and interestingflair. A fifteen-minute car ride willbring you to the beach; and it's aboutthat far to the country club where alltourists are welcome, the tab beingabout $10 a day for a room, tennis andswimming on the premises.

Chile has lakes and mountains and is

reminiscent of Europe. Ecuador is acool 55 the year around and Colombiais not much warmer. Venezuela isbursting at the seams with the fruits ofoil, being the second largest producerin the world. Iron has added newwealth, and the results for the toiiristare high prices, a certain lack of interestwith tourism, and a spate of skyscrapersand brand new boulevards. Many ofthe streets, since they lack names, areidentified by terms for street comers,and these have been dubbed "Keep theEye Peeled," "Dopey Face," and "TheFat Woman," to mention merely a few.Biggest tourist hotel is the Tamanacowhere it took S8 millions to complete400 rooms, a swimming pool and somesweeping views of the city from mostof the rooms.

A CONVERSATION

THAT HELPED ME

EARN $11,000By a Wall Street Journal

Subscriber

While lunching at the Athletic Club, Ioverheard two men talking about howto get ahead. "I read The Wall StreetJournal," said one. "So do I!" exclaimedthe other. They looked like smart businessmen, and so I said to myself, "I'mgoing to subscribe."

That happened several years ago. Iwas earning $100 a week at the time. Imailed a check for $20 to The WallStreet Journal. I have been reading thatremarkable newspaper ever since. It hascertainly helped me get ahead. Last yearmy income increased to $11,000.

This story is typical. The Journal isa wonderful aid to men making $7,000to $20,000 a' year. To assure speedy delivery to you anywhere in the U.S., TheJournal is printed daily in five cities —New York, Washington, Chicago, Dallasand San Francisco.

The Wall Street Journal has the largeststaff of writers on business and finance.It costs $20 a year, but in order to acquaint you with The Journal, we makethis offer: You can pet a Trial Subscription for 3 months for $6. Just send thisad with check for $6. Or tell us to bill you.-Address; The Wall Street Journal, 44Broad St., Xew York 4, X. Y. EM-ll

The most interesting news for those\.'ho would travel south to the sun byair is a new excursion fare which willlop off as much as $220 from the previous cost of flying south. The newfare is an excursion rate and to be eligible for it passengers will have to flyas far south as Buenos Aires, stoppingat least twice on the way down and

twice on the way back. The wholeround trip must be completed withinthirty days. This will bring the cost ofa 28-day package tour around SouthAmerica by the combined sei-vices ofPanugra and Pan American to less than$900, a handful of scratch that will takecare of hotel, sightseeing, meals andvisits to nearly a dozen areas, amongthem Panama, Lima, Santiago, BuenosAires, Montevideo, Sao Paulo, Santosand Rio in Brazil and San Juan, PuertoRico in the Caribbean. Not only that,you can eat steak most of the time andif nobody stops to buy a nutria coat itmight turn out cheaper than a monthof the high life back home.

Winter vacations are now uppermost inthe minds of many of our readers, andwe are receiving many requests for information on Biloxi and the Gulf Coast.This all-year vacation spot has alwaysbeen popular with those who seek to escape the ice and snow of the North.Biloxi has many things to recommend itto the traveler, including the best knownlandmark on the coast. The outstandingobject of interest is the lighthouse onWest Beach Boulevard. Built in 1848, itplayed an important part in the "WarBetween the States." It had two womenkeepers—mother and daughter—for sixty-two years and is perhaps one of the veryfew lighthouses in the United Stateslocated within city limits. It stands today like a Colo.ssus, astride the newlycompletedfour-lane super highwayU. S.90, the most popular deep South routebetween Florida and California.

With the opening of Corregidor Islandin the Philippines to tourists this pastSeptember, many of our readers on theWest Coast are thinking of this stop aspart of their Pacific vacation this winter.Daily ferry and plane service is available from Manila and overnight accommodations on the islandmake it possibleto spend some time there exploring the^im fortress which has been left just asit was at the end of the war.

The devaluation of the French franc actually means that the value of the tourists dollar has increased just about 20per cent. This makes the $5-a-dav hotel

room now $4, and the $10 bottle of perfume now goes for $8, and the $3 filetmignon now is $2.40. The reduction, ofcourse, applies right down the line andincludes theater tickets, transportationwithin France and all other expenditures common to travel.

The World's most unusual school willopen at Daytona Beach, Florida, onJanuary 6th this winter. This is "Vacation College", but you will find no onethere of college age. Most of the students will be in the fifties and some inthe sixties and seventies. "Classes" areheld in the small Princess Issena Theatre arid are mostly discussion sessionswith well known writers, doctors andworld travelers taking part in the television-type panel discussions on books,health, world affairs, creative writing,etc., etc. There will be two series ofclasses this Winter, one at Daytona beginning Jan. 6th, and one beginning onFeb. 24th at Sarasota. Both series areSIX weeks. Special hotel rates will beoffered members. Information and application—write to Gretta Baker, Director, Box 5263, Daytona Beach, Florida.

of the gun barrel—yet they do something to me. I can miss them with greatreguhirity.

Actually, I suppose if a woodcockwere taken into an open field and released from a trap as a pigeon is released on signal at a live-bird shoot, hewould be easy. But a woodcock doesn'tfly on signal, and he doesn't proceedwith any logic so far as the gunner canforesee it.

Being primarily nocturnal, a woodcock may be reluctant to fly in the glareof day and only does so when crowded,sometimes not until actually in dangerof being stepped on. Also, the way heflies, he may be confused by the brightlight of midday. This is conjecture. Butone thing is certain: the gunner is confused by his sudden and erratic action.

Since he lies tight, the woodcock isideal game for a good bird dog. Sometimes, though, when a dog pinpointsone in a patch of alders, tail high, footup and head cocked slightly to the leftand down as though looking the bird inthe eye a couple of feet away, I almostfeel that we are taking advantage of thelittle fellow. The element of surprise isgone. The dog is pointing, the bird isthere under his nose and all we have todo is walk in, kick him up and shoot.

Bird of Surprises(Continued from page 11)

But after a couple of minutes spenttramping around expectantly in front ofthe dog's nose, I change my mind. Iconclude that our trusty dog is pointinga mole hole, mouse house, or some suchagain, and about the time I reach in mypocket for a cigarette, friend woodcockgets up somewhere behind Old Rockand whistles merrily up the hillsideuntouched.

The woodcock is so contrary, so surprising and eccentric, that he has become a bird of mystery, with accompanying fables. Capable of other oddities, a brooding bird is believed bymany to be able to carry her youngabout with her, tucked between herlegs. Others insist that the telltale wingwhistle of the jumping bird is vocal,whistled in accompaniment to the beatof the wings. Simply making a wingnoise in flight as so many species ofbirds commonly do is too ordinary atrait to be accepted for the woodcock.In keeping with his unusual character,someone even claimed tliat this birdsubsists solely by sucking mud. His diet,of course, is earthworms, which in myopinion would hardly be preferable togood, clean mud, but then I'm not awoodcock. Another observer, admittingthat woodcock eat worms, said that they

procured them in the following manner(he was right there and saw it): first,the bird probed several holes in theground with his long bill, then he prostrated himself, bill pointed toward theholes, and fluttered his wings enticinglyon the ground, charming the worms intocoming up through the holes conveniently probed for them; whereupon thefeathered fakir gobbled them one byone.

Another notion which strikes me asfanciful, although quite common amongwoodcock hunters, whether in NewBrunswick or New Jersey, is the abilityto distinguish a migratory bird from alocal one by his appearance. "I got threewoodcock yesterday," the hunter wiU remark; "one flight bird and two natives."When queried as to how he knew, theanswer might take one of many forms,but a common explanation is that theflight birds are smaller than the localones. In late season, woodcock suddenlyappearing on northern slopes, birch hilltops and odd places not usually inhabited by the night wanderers mustobviously be migrating, but that a person can identify an out-of-town bird bysuperficial appearance alone, I doubt. Ina sense the woodcock starts migratinglong before the season opens since his

Grand Exalted Ruler and Staff at Work in Kearney

Immediately following his election to office. Grand Exalted Ruler H. L. Blackledge put under wayhis program for the year at his office at the Elks Home in Kearney, Nebr. At that time, he wasphotogrophed with the members of his staff, who are, from left: Miss Kay Nelson, Secretary;Chester O. Marshall, Secretary to Grand Exalted Ruler, and Mrs. Frank Howell, Secretary.

autumn habitat is somewhat differentfrom that inhabited in spring and summer. Also, a "native" bird becomes aflight bird twenty miles south of the hillside where he was raised, and I doubtthat he changes appearance overnight.

But all these conjectures and theoriesonly add charm to the mysterious andcontradictory little owl snipe and havelittle to do with his game qualities,which are the best. He has all the necessary characteristics to make him interesting and challenging to hunt; he hasa fast get-away, his flight is erratic, hebehaves well to a pointing dog, and,most important, he is unpredictable.

Of course, woodcock aren't as plentiful as they used to. be, but as far as Ican determine they never were. Theother day I was glancing through abook, "Frank Forester's Field Sports,"published in 1848, and he continuallybemoaned the disappearance of thewoodcock. Things weren't like they usedto be. One .reason might be the following quote from his book, speaking ofshooting in July in Orange County,N. Y., in 1840:

"With a friend from New York, I shotall dav the first, and until noon on thesecond; bagging, on the first, one hundred and twenty-five birds, and, on thesecond morning, seventy. The first ofthese days was intensely hot; and theground became so much foiled by running of the innumerable birds, that, although we had excellent retrievers, welost, beyond doubt, forty or fifty birds;and at four in the afternoon we wereentirely out of ammunition.

"1 am perfectly satisfied that, if wehad been provided with a brace of freshdogs, at noon, with clean guns, and aproper supply of powder and coppercaps, both of which gave out, it would

have been perfectly easy, on that dayto have bagged from one hundred, toone hundred and fifty couple of Woodcock.

"The shooting on that ground is nowended. The Erie railroad passes withinten miles of it, and it is now oveiTunwith city poachers and pot-hunters; besides being shot incessantly by thefarmers' boys and village idlers of theneighborhood who have begun to compete with the New York vagabonds insupplying the markets with game."

No, things aren't like they used to be,and it's always someone else's fault—although it is very much to Frank Forester's credit that even in that long agotime, he strongly recommended that thewoodcock season not open until the firstof October.

In the thirty years that I have huntedwoodcock I am glad to say that I havewitnessed no appreciable decline intheir numbers. Sure, my favorite woodcock cover when I was a kid is nowdivided into city blocks, but for themost part there are plenty of themthrough the rugged hills of the Northeast for the man who is willing to workfor them and who recognizes their habitat and who can spot the telltale signsof their presence: the drill holes in theblack loam and the chalk marks, orsplashings, left behind by a feedingbird.

We don't look for a hundred braceof birds in a day any more, of course;one brace is more than enough. And thisis one bird I never regret missing-something which I manage to do regularly.Jn fi^ct, the time a woodcock surprisesme the most is when he tumbles to myhasty shot; then my only regret is that Ican't turn loose the little imp for anotherday as I can a trout in my favorite

stream. But with the sensible conservation program of the present day, plusthe woodcock's solitary and seclusivehabits, he will be with us for a longtime to come—and we're glad of that.This surprising little fellow—which isn'tan upland bird at all—is the going-awayfavorite of thousands of upland hunters.

Phantom Warning(Continued from page 9)

On his feet he discovered she was niceall over, with honest brown eyes and aready smile.

"A truck? The only truck this outfitneeds right now is a nice slow hearse."Speculatively he stared at her, and thenhis grin came through the oil and greaselike a sun through dark clouds. "Ofcourse, if you went with the truck—"

Yes, she was special. Most Americangirls in the islands were running awayfrom something back home. This girlhad been born here. Practical as TimesSquare, like her father, she still stoppedto listen when black hands beat a drumhead in the shrouded hills.

She got that from hermother, maybe.But her mother was dead. It was herfather Bick had to deal with, andEverett Richie was as hard as the grindstone which had shaped him.

"A year ago, Bickford, I would havebeen pleased to see you paying attention to my daughter. You were on theway up-a smart young engineer in acountrv where engineers are sorelyneeded. But not now. You're a bad risk."

"I didn't invent landslides and hurricanes," Bick retorted.

"No, but you've let them lick you. Iknow what goes on, Bickford; it's mybusiness to know. What youhad, you'velost-and I don't mean money. You'rescared. If my daughter marries you-and mind you, she hasn t told me shewants to-she'd run the risk of being thewife of a beachcomber six months fromnow." Richie spoke quietly, withoutrancor, but there was no mistaking thefinality of his rejection. Had he beensome other girl's father, Bick mighthave been angry.

That same evening Bick had a datewith Donna. Driving her up the mountain road, high above the lights of thecity, he stopped the car and turned toface' her. "So you think I'm on theskids," he said defensively.

The honest brown eyes looked at himlevelly, and there was affection in them—perhaps more than affection—but uncertainty, too. "Do you rememberwhatyou said the day I tried to sell you atruck? You could use a hearse, yousaid."

"I was kidding," Bick protested."Were you, Bick? Does a man say

such a thing just to be funny?" Sheshook her head at him, slowly. "I'd liketo believe my father is wrong, Bick.But is he?"

Bick chewed his lip. He had known

Donna Richie only a short time—amonth or so—but he was sure of onething. This was the real thing, no passing fancy. Donna was what he wanted.He had to have her.

"I'll show your father," he promised."I'll show you both!"

T^HIS is going to cost money, Mr.A Bickford," Pierre Dejean said glum

ly. "Cleaning up this mess, rebuildingthe forms—it will be expensive."

Bick nodded, gazing at the rubblewhere grim-faced workers dug for thewatchman's body. "I don't know wherewe're going to get it." he said. "I couldn'tborrow the price of a crying towel. Youknow that. Marnot knows it, too. If heisn't with the Minister of Public Worksright now, making arrangements to takeover, I miss my guess."

Dejean had no answer. He knew wellenough that Bick had won the contractpartly on bluff, accepting an intricatefinancing arrangement which left himno cushion to absorb setbacks. And thesetbacks had been almost unending.

Nearly every day had brought some

new, unforeseen expense—a dozer laidup through carelessness, a truck lost inthe gorge when the road mysteriouslycrumbled. Small things, perhaps, whenconsidered against the scope of the jobitself, But small things hurt. The company was on its last legs, deep in debt.There would be no further paymentfrom the governinent until the job wasfinished and approved.

Bick recalled the morning, monthsago, when he had signed the contractand a bitterly disappointed Jules Marnothad extended a limp hand in congratulation. Marnot's smile had been politeenough. He was an immaculate manwho concealed his feelings behind impeccable manners. But his words—"Iwish you sviccess mcmsieur, in an undertaking full of risk"-had tightened themuscles of Bick's stomach.

Jules Marnot was big, and in a country of this sort it was suicide to buck alocal big shot unless you were solidlyentrenched. Now, gazing at the wreckage, Bick realized how vulnerable hewas.

He turned away. The blast of an

automobile horn halted him. On thetruck road at the rim of the gorge a carhad stopped. Donna Richie, her yellowbandanna shining like a great gold coinin the sunlight, looked down and waved.

Bick disconsolately lifted a hand inanswer and tiudged back to camp.

SHE was waiting when he got there.Catching his hand as he toiled up

the path from the river, she said anxiously, "Bick! What happened?"

"Dam blown up. Watchman killed.Bick did not feel like talking. It waseood to have her here, but he was toomuch aware of the silence behind her.The men stood around in small groups,waiting to find out what he would do.Most of them knew the score.

"I came out to congratulnte you,"Donna said, staring wide-eyed at thebandage on his head. Her fingers trembled, dug into his wrist. You told melast week—"

"I was out of my mind." Last week,on a visit to the capital, he had flungcaution to the winds and told her thebattle was won. He was paying for hisidiocy now. The look in her eyes

The look did something to him thatall his thinking had failed to do. Hegripped the girl's arms. "We're goii.gback to the city!" he said fiercely.

"Now? But what—""I can't do anything here. We need

lumber cement. Most of all we needmoney." He swung to face Dejean, whostood watching. "Pierre! Take over till1get back. Talk to the men. Find outwho murdered that watchman!"

"Tomorrow is pay day, Dejeanwarned. . „

"The money is in the sate."Yes But if they work after that-"They'll be paid. I'll get it some

where" With Donna hurrying afterhim Bick strode to her car and crammedhimUlf behind the wheel.

From camp to capital was a six-hourdrive usually. This time the chickensand donkeys on the dusty roads had toshift for themselves and the ride tookfour hours and a half. While driving,Bick worked out a list of prospects inhis mind. Friends, mostly. He droppedDonna off at her home in the suburbs.

"See you this evening." For an instant he clung to her hand, hating to letlier go. "And don't count me out toosoon!" . . 1

But when he drove the car mto herdriveway again it was midnight, andthe mask of despair was back on hisface. "I've been all over town," he admitted, sinking wearily onto a verandachair. "All over, Donna. No one hasany faith in Tom Bickford. With aneffort he turned to glance toward thedoorway. "Where's your father?"

"He went to bed, Bick.""I thought he'd wait up, to gloat.

Well, I'm not licked yet. I missed someof the names on my list. Tomorrow—"

"Come inside, Bick," she said. "I'll

make some coffee. It may be helpful."The next day was worse. The knock

out punch was delivered at the club, byan American ' whose sugar holdingswould double hi value when the damwas completed.

"Why should I risk my money needlessly, Bickford? We'll get our dam.Sure, it will cost the government threetimes what it should by the time Marnotruns through his repertoire of tricks.But we'll get it. With you on the jobwe won't. Jules Marnotnever gives up."

Donna's father was not in bed whenBick returned to the house that evening.Seated with Donna on the veranda,smoking his pipe, he gravely rose toshake Bick s hand, then sat again tolisten to the bitter tale of failure. Hewas a good listener.

The house boy brought Bick a drink,and while he sipped it Everett Richieappraisingly stared at him. Then: "Howmuch do you need?" Richie asked.

The glass almost slipped from Bick'sfingers. "What?"

How much will it cost to repair thedamage and finish the job?"

"I've been trying to raise fifty thousand."

Richie frowned. He waswelloffnow,but there had been times when fiftythousand had seemed as unattainable asthe moon. He sucked at his pipe for amoment, his gaze fixed in space. Then,frowning, he leaned forward.

I don t have that much, of course.Not that I can put my hands on. But Ican raise it, I beheve. I can persuadeothers to back you."

Bick knew who was responsible forthe man s change of heart. His ownheart thumped wildly as he swung aboutto face Donna. But Donna was gazingat her father in wide-eyed astonishment.

She hasn't been talking to me,"

Richie said quietly, "if that's whatyou're thinking."

"Then why—?"The man put down his pipe and fixed

Bick with a steady frown. "The momentyou won the contract for the JaninGorge Dam, Bickford, this undertakingceased to be a personal matter, as far asI am concerned." He paused, as thoughsearching for words to express his meaning. "I happen to love this country, andby the country I mean the people in it—the Teal people, who walk barefoot onthe countiy roads, not the Marnot breedwho squeeze the national treasury dryto stock their cellars with champagne. Iwant that dam finished—not for thesugar plantations owned by foreigners,but for the peasants in the valley whohave to walk ten miles for water whenthe river dries up!"

This was a side of Everett Richie thatBick had never seen before. The passionate sincerity of the man numbedhim, and for a moment he could find nowords. Then he stood up with his handoutthrust. "Thanks for the offer, Mr.Richie. You won't regret it, I promiseyou."

The hand hung unsteadily in spaceuntil Donna's father at last leaned forward to clasp it.

Bick drove back to camp in Donna'scar, and in answer to his triumphant

yell as he jumped out, Pierre Dejeanappeared in the doorway of the headquarters shack.

"Got it!" Bick exulted. "The lumberand cement are on their way. Whathave you done here?"

"Cleaned up the rubble," Dejeansaid. "But I'm worried, Mr. Bickford."

"About what?"Dejean drew him inside. "I have

questioned the men, all of them. One at

FRED A. MORRIS IS MOURNED

COL. Fred A. Mon'is, one of the mostprominent citizens of Mexico, Mis

souri, and widely known throughout theOrder, pa.ssed away September 14th

after a long illness. He was 80 years old.He is survived by a daughter and a son,and by three grandchildren.

An active and devoted Elk for manyyears, Col. Morris was a Past ExaltedRuler of Mexico Lodge, and in recentyears was affiliated with Jefferson CityLodge No. 513, He was the first President of the 48-year-old Missouri StateElks Assn. and served three terms asGrand Treasurer of the Order from1926 to 1929. ' .

A leader in local civic affairs. Col.Morris had served on the Mexico CityCouncil, was President of the Commercial Club, a forerunner of the Chamberof Commerce, and was a charter- member and first President of the RotaryClub. He had also served on the staffsof two of Missouri's governors.

Private funeral services were conducted at Elmwood Cemetery by theRight Rev. Monsignor P. D. Gavan.

a time I had them in here and gavethem the third degree. He is clever, thefellow who shot that watchman andwrecked the dam. I don't know how weare to smoke him out."

"You think he'll make trouble again?""Jules Marnot is a tenacious man."Bick was thoughtful. "We can't fire

them all; it would take too long to replace them. He'll find it a lot toughernext time, though. Come on, let's getthe show on the road."

Three weeks, Dejean had predicted.The work had to be completed soonerthan that, or it would run past the contract deadline and there would be amaze of red tape through which JulesMarnot might find a way to accomplishhis ends. Bick called the workers tohim. "Two weeks," he told them."That's all we have—two weeks. Everyone of you must work harder than heknows how to!"

He showed them how hard a humanbeing could work. On the job beforedawn each morning, he drove himselfunmercifully until darkness sent himstaggering back to camp. Then after anhour or two of rest and a supper he wasusually too tired to eat, he was back inanother role—the role of sentry.

"You'll kill yourself!" Dejean remonstrated. "Night after night without sleep-you can't keep it up. Surely we canfind at least one watchman we can trust!"

"The only man I trust on that dam atnight is myself," Bick retorted. But Dejean was right; he was killing himself.After a week of it his hand would nothold a razor steady enough for him toshave. Days, when the heat rose inwaves from the concrete, he found himself reeling between canyon walls thatblazed red with imagined flames. Andat night ...

Patrolling that lofty, foot-wide catwalk at night, with a rifle clutched in hishands, did things to his nerves. Thewind moaning through the gorge kepthim on edge, jumpy. The trickle of water among the river-bed boulders had ascore of voices, some of which broughthim up short and held him rigid for moments at a time, peering into the dark insearch of phantoms. He could havesworn he heard footsteps and whispers.

He kept awake on his sentry go bythinking of Donna, and sometimes bytalking aloud to her. "This is for you,baby." Butnot only for you, he thought.Your father was right. This is for thepeople of the valley, too. The peasantswho lose their land and livestock everyrainy season when the river runs wild.Who have to subsist on filthy waterfrom ditches all through the dry spells.This is for them.

Yes, the nights were long. And lonely. But he got a lot of thinking doneduring the dark hours. He came to understand and admire Everett Richie ina way that made him glad, for a newreason, to be in love with the daughterof such a man. He came to think of his

own workmen not as nameless, barefootmen wielding shovels, but human beings who knew hunger and weariness,laughed and wept and got married andhad children.

There was a morning when, returningto camp from his all-night vigil, he wentto the widow of the dead watchman andtalked to her for more than an hour . . .and, on leaving, emptied his pockets andpressed money into her hands, and toldher he was sorry he had so little.

Baby, he thought, I wish I could talkto you. But it was Donna's father, notDonna herself, who showed up on thetenth day.

Bick, supervising the pouring of concrete, saw the car on the truck road andsignaled Dejean to take over. He shookEverett Richie's hand as the man wearily wriggled from behind the wheel.There was something on Richie's mind,he realized. Something grave, revealedin the man's worried eyes and drawnmouth. Together, silent a moment, theystood at the edge of the gorge, gazing atthe massive wall of steel and concrete.

"You will be able to finish it?" Richieasked at last.

"Day after tomorrow we'll have adedication, Mr. Richie. I've alreadysent word to the capital." Bick couldnot keep the triumph out of his voice.Despite the endless days and sleeplessnights, he still had something left.

"Bick"—it was the first time Donna'sfather had called him that—"when willyou be paid?"

"Pollard, the Public Works man, willhave the check in his pocket." Bick sentan anxious glance at Richie's lined face."Why?"

"I'm in trouble. Serious trouble,Bick." Richie took in a deep breath andlaid a hand on Bick's arm. "Jules Marnot was furious when he learned thatI'd raised money for you. He wouldhave killed me, I think, had he dared.Now he has bought up a note I signed—one I had every reason to believe woxildbe extended. It falls due next week.This morning he told me he would present it for payment."

"Marnot!" Bick muttered. The namehad a poisonous taste on his tongue.

"He means to smash me, Bick. Ifanything goes wrong—if you're not ableto repay at least my part of the loan—Ilose my business, perhaps even myhome. Mamot is a vicious man."

Bick waited for the knot to unravelin his stomach. "Mr. Richie, nothing isgoing wrong here," he said then, grimly."You'll have your money day after tomorrow." He gripped the man's armand turned him toward the car. "Godown to the camp and get some rest.Stay here with us till this is finished."

Richie's only reply was a silent nod.

'^HE big rains were not due for aJ- month, but here in the mountains

the weather seldom ran to form. At two

the next morning Bick became aware of

a restless note in the wind's moaning.He halted on the catwalk to listen. Histhoughts had been on his responsibilityto Donna's father.

A fat drop of water splashed on hissleeve. Another struck his upturnedface. All at once a clap of thunder burstthe black barrel of the heavens and adeluge descended.

At two-thirty, soaked to the skin andjumpy from the incessant flashes oflightning, he saw a figure stumbling upthe road toward him. It was Dejean,with a raincoat flapping about his legs.

"I got scared for you, Mr. Bickford.You should go back to camp. In suchweather there is no need to stay here!"

"Not on your life. I'm staying.""Then I stay with you."By the flashes of lightning they

watched the river rise on the upstreamside of the barrier. There was no cofferdam to halt it. Gambling on gettingthe job finished before the season ofdaily downpours, Bick had left an opening in the base of the dam for the river'snormal dry-season trickle to passthrough. That opening was pluggednow with concrete. Swiftlv at first,then not so swiftly, the swollen streambacked up into the gorge,

By six o'clock the impounded lakehad attained a depth of eight feet onthe gauge, and in dreary daylight Bickpeered over the upstream rim. "Lookut it, Pierre!" he exulted. "Water! Tonsof water for the peasants of the valleywhen they need it!"

Dejean looked at him strangely. "Mr.Bickford," he said, "I have worked foryou a long time, but I guess I neverknew you. Or else—well, perhaps youhave changed."

Bick looked down at the hand out-thrust at him, glanced up at Dejean'ssolemn face, and gripped the hand.

INTERMITTENTLY the rain fell. Behind the wall of concrete the lake in

the gorge steadily deepened. But thework went on, The long wet hours werefilled with the wheeze and clank of themixers. The last forms were in place.Concrete flowed for the final time.

When Monsieur Pollard, the Ministerof Public Works, arrived on schedulewith his official party, Bick was ready.

A surprise was in store for him. Outof one of the cars stepped Donna. Hereyes shining, she came straight to himiind put her hands on his shoulders."Bick, I'm proud," she said. "So proud!"

Bick, his weariness gone, turned backto the official group. But still anothercar had rolled into camp. Out of itcalmly stepped an immaculate figure hehad not seen since the day of the contract signing. Jules Marnot!

The skin crawled on Bick's ribs.Marnot, coming toward him, was all

smiles. "My warmest congratulations,Mr. Bickford." he murmured. "Nothingstops you. I see."

"Nothing has \-et." Bick coldly re

turned his gaze. "Not even—" Heshrugged it off, the word "murder" stillunspoken. Let it go, he thought.

But Marnot's presence made him uneasy. A man who never admitted defeatcouldn't be counted out while time remained for him to strike another blow.Bick kept a wary eye on him whileescorting the group to the dam.

He was not the only apprehensiveone. While the others paraded over thestructure, marveling at the depth of water already impounded, Everett Richiehalted at Bick's side. His fingers, Bicknoticed, had trouble getting a cigaretteout of a package.

"Bick—what right has Marnot to behere?"

"He's a big wheel, Mr. Richie. Wecan't make a fuss."

"He's up to something. That man isalways up to something!"

Pollard, the minister, approachedthem, smiling. "Monsieur Bickford, Icongratulate you." He pumped Bick'shand. "A magnificent job. And ontime!"

"Ahead of time," Bick said. "But Itrust I'm to be paid promptly . . ?"

"With the greatest pleasure I shallhand you a check at the dedicationceremony, tomorrow morning."

One more night, Bick thought. Onemore lonely night of watching theshadows and listening to the wail of thewind. He had to return to camp witliPollard and the rest. Had to sit at supper with them. But after the first cognac was poured, he broke away.

"I've some reports to write. Youknow how it is."

Donna followed him out, and in frontof his own shack she faced him. "Bick,"she said, "I'm scared."

"I'm scared myself, baby.""If anything should happen now—""It won't. Go on back. Keep an eye

on Marnot. If he makes any suspiciousmove, I'll be at the dam."

He watched her return through thedarkness, then stepped into his ownplace for his rifle and flashlight. Odd.Even here he had the feeling somethingwas not quite right.

He thumbed the flashhghl switch anddirected the beam around the room,over cot, table, chairs. His nerves,probably. With so much at stake, hewas imagining things. Still, the roomwas unnaturallv quiet, as if holding itsbreath in anticipation of tiouble . . .

He shook the feeling off, turned andwent out. The camp sounds died awaybehind him. Alone in the rain he madehis way along the muddy river path.

He must have had a sixth sense, orelse the lonely all-night vigils had sharpened the other five. There was nosound, really. No real movement. Yetsuddenly he flicked the light off anddropped to a crouch, and with the skincrawling under his clammy clothes,worked his way clear of the path to apocket among the boulders.

Only tlien could he be sure. Barefeet slapped softly on the wet stones.From the base of the dam a shadowglided toward him.

The watchman was above, on the catwalk. No man should be here in theriver bed at this hour. Silently Bickadjusted rifle and flashlight and tensedhis legs for a leap. The shadow loomedlarge, moving swiftly. He stopped itwith a stabbing shaft of light and lookedover the gun barrel into a face quick-frozen with fatalistic lack of expression.

"Not so fast. I want to talk to you!"The man shivered once, all over, and

then was still as stone. Bick steppedcloser. It was one of the workers, athin-faced man named Valcin, whoearned an extra few dollars a week bysweeping out the camp buildings whenhis day's stint was done.

"What are you doing here this timeof night?"

"Nothing, msie." A shrug. "Onlylooking for something I lost."

"For what?"

"A knife. It fell from my pocket thisafternoon." His recovery had beenquick. His tone was insolent. "I paid awhole dollar for it. Would you expectme to leave it here?"

"A dollar is a lot of money," Bicksaid coldly. "We'll look for the knifetogether. Unless," he added, watchingthe man's eyes, "you've planted anothercharge of dynamite and don't want tobe blown to bits."

Without a word the workman turnedand began walking.

At the foot of the concrete wall Bickhalted. A beam of light fastened onhim from above, and the anxious voiceof the watchman followed it down. "Isthat you, Mr. Bickford?"

"Yes, Lelio. This man has beenprowling. Did you hear anything?"

The light wavered. "No, msie. Nothing."

Valcin saw me coming, Bick thought.He was up to something but saw mylight down the gorge and thought hecould get past me in the dark. Steppingclose to the prowler, he ran a hand overthe man's clothing, found only cigarettesand a box of matches. Again he lookedup. "Lelio!"

"Msie?""Keep awake. I'll be back when I've

taken this man to camp." He motionedwith the rifle. "Get going, Valcin.Fast."

He wondered what to do with thefellow. Third-degree him, to put thefinger on Jules Mamot, where it undoubtedly belonged? That would taketime. For now, the best move was tolock him up, say nothing and let Marnotdo the sweating. This night could notlast forever.

He avoided the headquarters buildingwhere, by the sounds, the cognac wasstill flowing. In Dejean's quarters alight burned. Bick steered his prisonerto the doorway and found the foreman

inside, quietly reading a newspaper."Caught him prowling in the gorge,"

Bick said. "What he was up to I don'tknow; evidently I scared him out of it.Take care of him, Pierre. I've got to getback there."

Well, the night would pass now.There'd be no more trouble. But onthe path to the river Bick halted again.That nagging uneasiness . . .

Impulsively he strode to his shackand pushed open the door. Empty.The same odd stillness. His light lickedover floor and walls, swept the table,stopped and swung back. He staredwide-eyed at Donna's picture.

He knew."Pierre!" He skidded to a halt at

Dejean's door, saw the prisoner ropedon a chair and the foreman bendingover him. "Come with me! Quick!" Atthe locked door of the supply shed afew yards beyond, he wasted preciousseconds fumbling for the right key,while Dejean pounded up behind him.

"What is it, Mr. Bickford? Wliat—"Bick threw his weight against the

flimsy door and smashed it open, hislight probing the array of tools andmounds of boxes. "We had four casesof dynamite, Pierre!"

"Four. Yes." Dejean took a step forward, stopped. His breath hissed."Mon dieu! One is gone!"

"That devil stole a key to this place.He's planted a time bomb at the dam!Pierre—the people in the valley! If allthat water hits them without warning—"Bick flung the foreman out of the wayand ran. "Phone the dam!" he yeUedover his shoulder. "Tell the watchmanto clear out!"

"Mr. Bickford, you can't go up there!"Dejean wailed after him. "The bombmay go off!"

Bick didn't stop.It would have been safer to climb to

the truck road. Then if the thing wentoff he would not be trapped betweencanyon walls in the path of the flood.But moments counted. Perhaps evenseconds. The river route was shorter.

Shorter? He ran until his lungs mustburst, and it was like racing in a nightmare along a path without end. Neverhad the river route seemed so long before! Ahead, high in the dark, a lightsped along the catwalk . . . the watchman scurrying to safety. Then therewas nothing. Only the towering massof concrete and the tunnel of rockthrough which the water must pour atexpress-train speed.

He covered the last ten yards in astagger of exhaustion, sagged againstthe concrete and listened. It would besuch a small sound in that place! Hearing nothing, he fell to hands and kneesand began crawling along the wall.

Slow . . . slow . . . There would beno time to go back and do it over if hemissed. Every instinct cried for haste,but he must crawl at a snail's paceand strain to hear the sound. His lungs

wheezed. His heart pounded. The windmoaned between the canyon walls. Heheard nothing else.

Journey in a nightmare, on hands andknees, and no end to it! No end! Hecould feel the moments slipping awayfrom him like knots in a rope he couldnot hold. Precious moments, escaping sofust! He heard voices and looked upagainst his will.

Car lights on the truck road revealed aknot of human figures at the edge of thegorge. Donna and her father. PieneDejean. The minister and his group.They shouted at him to come up. But hehad no time for them. Head down, hecrawled on again, listening. He heard.

The muffled sound came from a cairnof boulders at the dam base, just ahead.Almost no sound at all, only a tinnyheartbeat—tunk, tunk, tunk. He threwhimself at it and tore the boulders aside,got his hands on the thing and staggeredto his feet.

It was so haimless in itself. Only acheap alarm clock, wired to batteries ina wooden box—a clock stolen by thesaboteur from the table near Bick's bed.He stared at it in silence while the reaction came and sweat ran into his eyes.Then, shaking with relief, he looked upat tlie people on the rim of die gorge andweakly waved a hand.

Gentlemen," said Monsieur Pollard, the Minister of Public Works,

"I propose to make this dedication very

brief. We are emotionally exhausted, allof us. Last night, as you know, an enemyof the state attempted to destroy thismagnificent structure, and had it notbeen for the great courage of MonsieurBickford—"

He saw the look on Bick's face and

stopped, then grinned. Perhaps the grinstemmed from his memory of Jules Mar-not's abortive attempt to escape lastnight, after Valcin had mumbled a confession. Pollard himself, despite his loftyposition, had halted the fleeing manwith a magnificent flying tackle.

"I talk too much, eh, monsieur?" Hegripped Bick's hand. "Well, let the others thank you for themselves. I thank youfor my government, and for my wife andchildren. Monsieur"—no smfle now—"you do not know it—last night you didnot know it—but my own family lives inthe valley only a mile below here."

The minister stepped back, plucked anenvelope from his pocket and thrust itinto Bick's hand. "Your check, monsieur.It .should be signed by all the people ofour country."

It was a nice speech, Bick decided. Hewished he had the knack himself, so hecould answer it in kind. Well, he wa.sonly an engineer. They wouldn't expecttoo much.

He raised his clasped hands over hishead and grinned, then turned and tookDonna in his arms. In front of them allhe kissed her. What more could anaudience ask?

INDOCTRINATION

For a long time we have been hearing about indoctrination. Like theweather, it has been a popular subject of conversation but no one, orhardly anyone, has done anythingabout it.

It is true that a few lodges of ourOrder have done a little something about it, but on abroad national scale nothing has been done.

It is very encouraging to learn that our new GrandExalted Ruler, Brother Blackledge, is really going to dosomething about it in a national way.

Learning this, we decided it is about time that we consulted Mr. Noah Webster about the meaning of theword. The nearest Mr. Webster gets to the sort of indoctrination the Grand Exalted Ruler has in mind is hisreference to the word "Indoctrinate" as meaning "to instruct in or imbue with principles or doctrines."

Th© Grand Exalted Ruler wants all candidates for

membership in the Order of Elks to be both instructedin and imbued with the principles and doctrines of theOrder.

Unquestionably, there are many men initiated in theOrder without either being instructed in or imbued withsuch principles and doctrines.

With the strong Lodge Activities Committee lining upthe Subordinate Lodges to carry out the program of indoctrination inaugurated by the Grand Exalted Ruler,certainly we are justified in expecting the most satisfactory results.

Undoubtedly, there are many men joining the Orderwithout a proper knowledge of its purposes, social, fraternal, patriotic and humanitarian.

The message of the Grand Exalted Ruler in this issueof The Elks Magazine should be read by every memberof the Order.

It clearly and impressively sets forth the great importance of liis indoctrination program.

THE ELKS MEMORIAL SUNDAY

Exalted Grand Ruler Hamilton E.Leach, a member of Washington,D. C., Lodge No. 15, presiding at theGrand Lodge Session in New Yorkin 1889, recommended that it bemade an established custom to beobserved annually by every lodge

to hold a memorial, or a "Lodge of Sorrow."At that Convention, Allen O. Myers, of Columbus,

Ohio, Lodge, a member of the Committee on Lawsand Supervision, offered the following resolution:

"Resolved that the first Sunday in December annuallyis hereby designated and dedicated as a day to becelebrated as 'Lodge of Sorrow' by all lodges of Elks."

This resolution was unanimously adopted. The following year a new constitution and new statutes wereadopted, and therein the first Sunday of Decemberwas designated and dedicated as a day to be commem-

60

orated by every lodge of Elks as the memorial of ourdeparted Brothers. It was provided that it shall beknown as "The Elks Memorial Day," while the specialfuneral services following shortly after the death ofany Brother shall be kno\vn as a Lodge of Sorrow.

It is mandatory in all of the 1,808 lodges of the Orderthat they commemorate the first Sunday of next monthas "The Elks Memorial Day."

Following the custom of the past few years, theGrand Lodge Committee on Lodge Activities againoffers awards to six lodges whose Memorial Servicesare judged to be the most carefully planned and executed. In the pages of your Magazine, an illustratedaccount of those selected will give evidence of thefact that, once more, Elkdom has carried out the deeplymoving 87-year-old ritual in accordance with all theOrder's time-honored traditions.

EXALTED RULERS AT GRAND LODGE

Prior to the Grand Lodge Session in 1932, a memberof the Order was required to have concluded a year asExalted Ruler of his lodge before becoming a memberof the Grand Lodge or being eligible as a representative of his lodge at a Grand Lodge Session.

Grand Exalted Ruler Coen, presiding over the 1932Grand Lodge Session, urged a very important changein the Constitution, making the current Exalted Rulerof a lodge a delegate to the Grand Lodge.

He stated in his annual report that he had receiveda suggestion from many lodges that the present planof Grand Lodge representation be changed to makepossible the attendance at the Grand Lodge, as a subordinate lodge representative, of the then acting ExaltedRuler of each lodge.

He further stated that the argument was advancedthat if the acting Exalted Ruler should attend a GrandLodge Session, he would have presented to him theprogram formulated and agreed upon at such meetingand would have the inspiration of personal contactwith the Grand Exalted Ruler, Comraitteemen andother leaders of the Order and return to his lodge,fired with enthusiasm to carry on during the year.

There has been brought to our attention the recentreport of Exalted Ruler Dobbs of Farmington, NewMexico, Lodge, in which he says:

"I was very much impressed by the manner of theoperation of our Grand Lodge. I believe we havesome of the greatest men in our country headingour organization. These men give of their talentand time to promote Elkdom in the true sense.After attending a national convention you canappreciate why the great Order of Elks is continually growing. The Order of Elks is a big business and we have to have big men with a lot ofunselfishness and wiUingness for hard work tokeep it running smoothly and to carry out ourprograms."

If a considerable percentage of Exalted Rulers attending Grand Lodge Sessions experience the reactionof Brother Dobbs, then this change in our Constitutionfor which Grand Exalted Ruler Coen was responsiblewill have demonstrated its justification.
