been that ever since. The original

Jimmy Roland Wins Columbia Event;
Geared For Start Here Saturday
By MARION WIGGINS
Everyone was disapointed last
Saturday night when they heard
over the radio that the races were
called off. Of course q lot of
folks didn't get the word and
went on to the track anyway only
to find a traffic jam. The weath
er was so unpredictable that it
was impossible to give a notice
early but you can all plan to at
tend this week and if it looks like
rain just sit by the radio and if
you don’t hear anything about
the races being called off just
jump in your car, and head for
the track a little before race time
so you can get a good seat.
Jimmy Roland has gotten all the
wrinkles ironed out of 1-A it
seems. At least they were out
last Friday night in Columbia
when he won first place in the
main event. I didn’t see this race
but everybody says Jimmy drove
that car like an old veteran.Let’s
hope he can do the same here
Saturday night. Jimmy also drove
1-A in Concord, N. C. last Sunday.
I didn’t hear too much about this
race but I did hear that Jimmy
came in fifth place.
Billy Franklin, driving Ollie
Hawkins No. 19 drove in Fayette
ville, N. C. last Sunday and from
what I hear of' this race, Billy
must have had the fastest car on
the track. I understand he was in
the lead when another car rammed
into the back of his car and the
race was stopped. When the race
got under way again (with Billy
starting in the rear) he passed
all cars but two, coming in to take
third place money.
If you’ve never seen a stock
car race before, come on odt Sat
urday night and enjoy yourself.
You really don’t know what you’re
missing.

‘Last Of Comanches’
Shows At Wells
When the ground shook and
the windows rattled recently in
Yuma, Arizona, residents didn’t
know if it was earthquake or
another new bomb being tested at
nearby Army bases.
Actually it was Broderick Craw

25 miles out in the desert, where
Columbia Pictures’ “Last of the
Comanches” was shot on location.
The new outdoor action drama,
filmed in color by Technicolor,
plays the Wells Theatre Saturday
night Late Show and Monday and
Tuesday.
The disturbance was caused by
the explosion .of three cases of
dynamite, used by embattled sur
vivors of an Indian massacre in
fighting off relentless Comanche
attacks.
Also starred with Crawford are
Barbara Hale, Johnny Stewart and
Lloyd Bridges.
“Steel Town” was produced by
Leonard Goldstein and directed by
George. Sherman.
