'T'HERE is no question about it—
* there are just some shows that
should never attempt to do on
the night side what they find to be
a successful format in the daytime
A few years back, Don Mc
Neill transferred his highly suc
cessful “Breakfast Club” on radio
to a once-a-week nfght schedule
on television with rather horrible
results . The show, in fact, was
such a colossal flop that it took
two years for the network moguls
to decide on a possible simulcast
of the “Breakfast Club” intact
Result: simply terrific Why?
Perhaps because the cast are at
home on the morning show—they’re
natural and unassuming, whereas
on the night experiment they were
trying too hard to impress
Big name celebrities were brought
tn as guest stars in an effort to
match other night time variety
shows Don was stilted and ill
at ease and he transmitted that
feeling not only to the cast but
to the audience . . And—let’s face
it—corn can be digested in the
morning but it leaves one flat in
the evening Realizing that,
the cast strived to be what they
were not—sophisticated Now
as their own selves they are won
derful on TV and we predict an
even rosier future for the show
than it had on radio, if that is
possible.

"1 REMEMBER
BY THE OLD TIMERS
From H. W. Springfield, Wood
bine, Kansas: I remember when
the Grand Army of the Republic
(G. A. R.) held their annual camp
meeting at Wadena, Minnesota. I
shook hands with General Vansant
who was one of the boys.
They were something of a small
army as they marched down the
streets of Wadena. They would
roast an ox at the celebration and
one year a neighbor of mine carried
the ox tail over his shoulder in the
parade. At the celebrations they
sold lemonade from a large stone
jar at 5 cents a glass.
# • #
From Jessamine S. Burgum, Ar
thur, N. D.: I remember when
everyone looked forward for months
to “going to the State Fair." Trans
portation was either a one-horse
buggy or a fringed-top surrey, or—
if the family was large—a three-
seated lumber wagon.
My parents drove a fringe-
topped phaeton — but, oh joy, —
sometimes the current young man
(if he had the courage and the
cash) drove to our door in a top
buggy with two prancing horses
from the “livery barn."
We were equal to the occasion
with a “Gibson Girl" stylish cos
tume, white shirtwaist, puffed
sleeves and lace insertion, full dark
skirt, high button shoes—and black
cotton stockings. The skirts swept
the ground, for ankles were not to
he cpen.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
It was about this time of year
that our old one-teacher school
back in the woods turned out for
the year. That was the time for
much rejoicing. For we bad been
penned up there from 8 until 4
o’clock for 5 to 6 months, and
had almost forgotten what real
liberty was.
About this time too they let us
pull our shoes off. I don’t recall ii
it was a definite day in April, sign
of the zodiac, or what, but some
thing on the calendar set that im
portant day for us. And we really
looked forward to it. Seemed as
though it would never come.
On the appointed day, we were
not hard to get out of bed. Antici
pation was running so high that
it was a sort of wakeful sleep for
us then. All of this, even though
we could not release our feet un
til the hour was noon.
In mid-morning we would start
pestering parents, insisting it was
very warm outside. But noon was
the hour, and they could not come
off until then.
As the old family clock pointed
straight up and struck the hour
of 12, we lit out for the horse
trough. There we sat on a rock,
pulled our shoes and stockings
off, and soused our feet into the
cool water. That was to keep it
from giving us a cold.
Then we were foot-loose, as we
were already fancy-free, for the
glorious spring and summer that
already showed bud, flower, and
nesting bird a tevery turn of our
wilderness in the Stone Hills of
the Dutch Fork. Feet felt light,
and our first impulse was to run.
But sharp gravel and small briers
soon deterred us and we were
cautious for a while. By cotton
chopping time they had toughened
though, and we could hide our
hoes at the other end of the row
and run the mile clear to the
creek, paying little attention to
what was in the way.

Sports Afield
By TED KESTING
They’ve thrown the book away
in Ohio—the big, fat book filled
with pages of fine print that was
supposed to regulate fishermen
and improve fishing. Now you can
go after any fish in the state in
almost all public wlaters, anytime
of the year, and keep all you can
catch without regard to size, creel
limits, or species. You nox only
can, you’re encouraged to!
This open-handed approach to
angling is the result of a fish
management program dedicated to
the proposition ^hat most people
go fishing simply to have fun. Out
door writer Lee Templeton points
out that Ohio is no virgin wilder
ness. It is one of the smaller states
in the Union and one of the more
heavily populated. , What’s mor^,
its public waters must carry a
fishing pressure unmatched any
where in the country.
The decision to apply liberal
ized fishing to this overcrowded
situation was based on one of the
most careful fishery investigations
in the history of American con
servation. This program prqved
that Ohio fish were dying of old
age!
The story really begins in 1930
when the state»ran a series of
test nettings on Buckeye Lake.
It was apparent that the lake held
tremendous quantities of fish that
no one knew—or even dreamed—
about. But it wasn’t until 1945 that
the Wildlife Council agreed to set
aside one lake for an experiment
in liberalized fishing; more and
more lakes were added, then'
streams. Now public wnter in Ohio
is wide open.
Bio^gists have learned that the
hook and line is one of the least
efficient tools ever devised. Less
than one percent of Ohio’s fish
ermen ever became adept enough
with it to consistently take the
bag limits that were then in force.
This insignificant harvest was no
menace to the fish population. It
didn’t begin to stack up against
the fantastic reproductive power
of fish. •
Does this mean liberalization
can be applied everywhere? Prob
ably not. In fact, scientifically
speaking, there is no guarantee
that liberalization is the long-run
answer in Ohio. It may be, but that.
remains to be seen. And what is
true in Ohio may not be true in
other states. But it’s worth finding
out.
Over much of our country, and
in the waters most of us must fish
most of the time, liberalization of
fers real promise of more fun, and
—for those good enough to capita
lize on it—longer stringers.
Christ the Living Lord (Easter).
Lesson for April 18: John 20:24-29,
21: 15-17.
Golden Text: 20: 29.
Thomas was absent when Jesus
first appeared unto the disciples
and when told of it he declared that
he would not believe unless he
could put his hands on the prints
of the nails and thrust his hand
into the side of the Lord.
Ther^is the old saying that “See
ing is believing," and thus did
Thomas ask to see. But he really
insisted upon the lowest order of
proof of spiritual things. Such
things can not be measured with a
yardstick and weighed in the
scales. Spiritual things are spir
itually discerned. And Thomas was
to learn that there is an evidence
greater than that of all the senses,
the evidence of faith. So did Jesus
give his last beatitude, “Blessed
are they that have not seen, and
yet have believed."
On the seashore, after Jesus and
Peter and several others of the dis
ciples had eaten the meal their
Lord had prepared,’ the Master,
doubtless drawing Peter apart, be
gan his three-fold questioning of
the disciple. Peter knew well that
the three-fold questioning was con
nected with his denial of his Lord
in the palace of the high priest.
With each avowal of Peter’s devo
tion, Jesus bade Peter to feed his
flock.
The risen Christ had robbed death
of its sting and stripped the grave
of its victory. How necessary to
the Christian faith is the resur
rection! Let us rejoice anew in the
blessed truth and give ourselves
with great consecration to the work
Jesus has left us to do.

averaged 8,598 lbs. milk contain
ing 484 lbs. butterfat on a twice-
daily - milking, 305-day mature

of 84.88 points. The breed’s score
card gives i(M) points to a perfect
animal. ^
This sire also has been officially
classified for type, and achieved
the high rating of Very Good.
Sam Dreaming Aristocrat was

Many small boys are just the
type their mothers wouldn’t want
them to associate with.
