The ’51 hunt marks the third consecutive year in which Nebraska has held a deer season. The state’s deer population has come a long way in recent years. In 1902, the Game and Fish Com mission estimated the state’s deer population at 50. Today, you can find deer, either mule or white tailed, in most every part of the state. In fact, 89 deer—39 more than the state’s population in ’02— were shot on opening day of the ’50 hunt. A total of 1,200 special deer, per mits will be issued this year, an increase o* 200 over last year. The open area will consist of Banner, Dawes, Morrill, Scotts Bluff and j Sioux counties with the exception of the Wildcat Hills Game Re serve in Scotts Bluff county, Chadron State Park in Dawes county and federal refuge areas in all open counties. This season will be the first year in which Banner county has been opened to big game hunting. The State Legislature in its recent ses sion authorized the commission r —1 ———i VINE ST. MARKET GROCERIES Cr MEATS 22nd and Vina 2-6583 — 2-6584 i to open Banner county if the pop 1 ulation warranted such. Hunters will have a ten-day period to get their trophy. The exact dates haven’t as yet been determined but the season will be so arranged that it will include two weekends. In all probability, the deer hunt will follow the wa ter-fowl season which in recent years has ended in early Decem ber. j Hunting will be from runrise to sunset. Only rifles generating at least 900 pounds of energy or ! more at 100 yards will be per 1 mitted. Shot guns can not be used. Interested sportsmen can obtain their application forms from 'county clerks’ offices, conserva tion officers or by writing to the Lincoln office of the Game Com mission on or after Aug. 10. All applications must be sent in on the official printed application forms and be accompanied by an. individual remittance of ten dol-i lars in either a check or money order, payable to the Nebraska' Game, Forestation and Parks Commission. * Beginning Aug. 15 and through ' Aug. 31, the game commission will 1 accept applications. The drawing' has been scheduled for Sept. 15 in the state house. Again, as true in 1949 and ’50, the drawing will J be open to the public. L Please remember, application ^ forms will not be available until! Aug. 10 and they will not be ac- ; cepted at the Game Commission office until Aug. 15. DONLEY-STAHL CO.

Griswold, governor of Nebraska from 1941-47, brings to an end our series of articles on Nebraska’s governors. We’ll fol low it with a series on territorial delegates to Congress and on our United States senators. Dwight P. Griswold was born at Harrison in Sioux County on November 27, 1893. His parents, Dwight Hubbard and Clarissa (Palmer) Griswold, were pioneer settlers of Western Nebraska, j After attending high school in .Gordon for two years, he went to Kearney Military Academy, (graduating in 1910. He began his : collegiate work at Nebraska Wes 'leyan, transferring after two | years to the University of Ne braska, where he received his AB degree in 1914. Upon graduation from the Uni versity, he began his long con nection with the First National Bank at Gordon. His banking | career, however, was interrupted by military service. He was with the 4th Nebraska Infantry on the Mexican border in 1916. During World war I he served as an officer with the 127th Field Aitil lery. Shortly after the* war he be came director of the I* h'st Na tional Bank. In 1922 he became editor and publisher of the Goi don Journal, coninuing in that ca pacity until after his election as governor. Governor Griswold’s career m public service began shortly after the end of World war I. He was a member of the lower house af the legislature for one term, and of the state senate for three. He received the Republican nomi nation for governor in 1932, 1934 and 1936, but was defeated each time in the general election. When nominated again in 1940, lowever, he was successful. Governor Griswold, like his predecessor, served three terms in the executive office. Those three terms encompassed the fighting years of World War II and brought with them many problems of adjustment, some of which sorely tested our demo cratic form of government. In his outgoing message—which, in my judgment, is one of the most thoughtful state papers in Ne braska’s archives—Governor-Gris wold reviewed the success with which Nebraska’s government had lived up to its responsibili ties. In 1946, he contested unsuc cessfully with Senator Butler for the Republican nomination for For Belter Values • Drugs • Cosmetics • Stationery • Candy t Prescriptions CHEAPPER DRUGS 1325 O St- Lincoln Cicero Quieted Down; Walter White in Chicago CICERO. Ill-—(ANP) — Some 400 troops of the Illinois National, Guard are on duty 24 hours a day to maintain order in Cicero, Chicago suburb blanketed with the mob spirit because a Negro fam ily rented an apartment at 6139 W. 19th st. Because of alert action by the state militiamen in breaking up groups and maintaining a safety zone, little violence has been re ported since Friday afternoon I when the soldiers finally dispersed a mob of 6,000 white rioters. In the meantime, Walter White, ■ executive secretary of the NAACP, 'lew into Chicago Sat j urday morning and spent the da> ! investigating the situation. He was invited to the city by Lester i Bailey, a regional officer of the 1 national body, and Rev. Johnson, state president of the NAACP here. " Saturday afternoon, White be came the first Negro to actually visit the scene of the riot. A white Methodist minister who wishes to remain unidentified for his own ! safety took him to the scene of the action. As yet, an ordinary Negro still would not be safe in this prejudice-torn town. Latest developments in the sit uation are as follows: More than 115 persons, all male and mainly teen-agers, have been arrested and are to be tried for unlawful assembly in connection with the case. ' Negroes held a mass meeting Monday night at the Metro politan Community church in Chi cago to raise funds to aid the fam ily of Harvey E. Clark, Jr., the Ne gro family that is the center of the whole controversy. An investigation is reportedly in “progress" to seek communist the post of United States senator. Following the expiration of his term of office, he went to Ger many with the military govern ment, and in June, 1947 was named chief of the American Mission for Aid to Greece. He resigned in September, 1948, and returned to Nebraska. At present he is a member of the Board of Regents of the University of Ne braska. The Griswolds reside in Scottsbluff. W"mmm■■■wmmmmmmm—mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrnmmm* elements as cause of the riot A Chicago branch NAAC'p .it torney, George N. Leighton, js handling the legal aspec t: of tin situation for the Clarks. He al ready has a $200,000 suit pending against Cicero • officials asking damages for their refusal to pro tect him in his first attempt to move into his apartment. Leighton proposes two other legal actions: A suit against Cicero and possibly Cook county charging property destruction (the | Harvey family’s property has been destroyed by rioters), and prose cution of town officials through an injunction by Federal Judge John P. Barnes ordering them to pro tect him as they would a white citizen. In a press conference, White denounced the whole riot as ready propaganda for Communists throughout the world. He said: “You must realize this news is being played up in Asia, South America and Africa in order to discredit democracy and the United States. It’s a most valu able assist to Pravda because the news won’t have to be distorted." The NAACP leader shrugged off the thought of Reds as ones who started the riots. He pointed out that among the “investigators” of Communist action is Joseph Beauharnais, White Circle League leader and recognized in Chicago as a hate-monger and anti-Negro, anti-Jewish, anti-e verything white supremacy leader. Beau harnais, White said, is a brother of a Cicero town official. The Clarks, who at one time had decided they would not move in blit now have changed their | minds, declared that they did not know the town of Cicero had no Negroes. j (This city consists of first and second generation Bohemians who are about 80 percent Roman Cath | olic. It also has been noted that I recent racial violence in and j about Chicago has been caused ; almost wholly in Catholic com munities despite the fact that Bishop Bernard J. Sheil and other local Catholic leaders have made numerous statements calling for racial harmony.)
