Sgt. Carl Bryant
Finishes 3 Weeks
Course In Calif.
Sgt. Carl A. Bryant, Jr., son ot
Mr. and Mrs. Carl A. Bryant of
2612 Maple Street, recently com
pleted a three week course in
Atomic, Biological and Chemical
Defense at Santa Ana, California.
In June 1952, the Marine Ser
geant graduated from the Omaha
Technical High School and next
joined the Marines for four years.
Almost all of his service has j
been in Hawaii until the return
to California for undergoing the
specially designed Marine train

getting familiarized with a Geiger
Counter.
Upon finishing his additional
year, Sgt. Bryant plans to con

Being Presented
Colorful Career Of Legendary
Hero Depicted In “Davy Crock
ett, King Of The Wild Frontier”
Few men have lived more ad
venturous lives than Davy Crock
ett. whose colorful career is de
picted by Walt Disney in “Davy
Crockett, King of the Wild Front
ier,” starring Fess Parker and
Buddy Ebsen, now playing at the
State Theatre.
As seen in the feature length
production, in color by Technicol
or, Davy grew bored with simply
fighting bears to death and be
gan trying to “grin” them down.
When his “death grin” failed,
Davy was forced to wrestle the
bear into submission.
The same valor that disting
uished (Crockett as a bear slayer
won him further fame as an In
dian hunter. He joined General
Andrew Jackson’s regulars to
fight depredating Creeks. But
Crockett was also a fair man who
lived by the motto. “Be sure
you’re right, then go ahead.”
When Jackson later attempted to
deprive Indians of certain gov
ernmental rights, Davy vocifer
ously opposed his one-time gen
eral. „
None of Crockett s exploits,
however, surpassed his heroism
at the Alamo. With a group of
miscellaneous drifters scornfully
called “Crockett’s Company,”
the fabulous Tennessean joined
Col. Jim Bowie’s volunteers at
the Alamo and defended it to
the finish.
“Davy Crockett, King of the
Wild Frontier” is released by
Buena Vista. It was photograph
ed in actual settings throughout
Tennessee and the Great Smoky
Mountains under the direction of
Norman Foster.

About this his father said, “I

Don't Try
To Aid Young
Wild Game
—
The Nebraska Game (Commis
sion is concerned with the public’s
efforts to give aid to ‘apparent-1
ly’ orphaned wildlife.
Each spnng numerous inci
dents occur in which people try
to help wildlife by taking care of
all sorts of young they happen
to find.
According to a Game Commis
sion spokesman, “Besides the
strict legal aspect of people try
ing to raise baby game animasls i
and birds, our concern is also!
for the safety of the people.
Many of our “cute” game babies
become quite dangerous as they
grow' up. After all, they are
basically wild animals.”
“Many of the young found ap
parently abandoned are not a
bandoned. If people would leave
them alone, the majority of them
will be re-united with their moth
ers”, he continued.
“Legally, anyone who has a
young game animal is violating
the law as much as if they shot
