-LOST BOUNDARIES 11 A. review ol the new screen pity, "Lost Boundaries" by Kowird Barnes, in the New Yort Herald Tribune: semi-documentary film of WHO SHOULD PAY? The discussion of ''who' should pay for U. S. what to be heard as the use of bigger and heavier truck continues. The other day the Chicago Tribune had this to say: "We have no grudge against the trucking Industry All we expect is that it pay taxes sufficient to build the heavier highways that its trucks and trailers require.

"Lost Boundaries" is simply the case history of a Negro and his family passing as whites In a small New Hampshire town. The social import of the work is apparent and provocative. Louis de Rochemont's consummate production, based on W. White's story, throws a memorable blow for racial tolerance. Beyond that, It is a screen achievement of soaring imagination and emotional content.

A little known cast, under Alfred L. Werker's inspired direction, makes "Lest Boundaries" one of the most rewarding offerings of the year. What is termed "a drama of real life," succeeds admirably in making one believe that such is th's paired, and it is the oversize trucks that are doing it." The U. S. commissioner of roads has been forthright in his comment on the same subject, and state highway engineers, following factual surveys, indicate that modern roads would last almost indefinitely with a minimum of maintenance, under normal passenger car and light truck traffic.

But our roads can't stand the beating given them today by the modern behemoths of the highway. To bring it closer home, take a look some time at these big trucks as they go through Emporia, anc watch them as they come to stop for the red traffic lights a Sixth and Commercial or Merchant case.

But the Southwest Kansas puHlsher, rancher, repared a lengthy report entitled Segregation in Washington." Ac- ompanied by graphs, charts and pictures, the crisp text brings home ts message with a punch. The report describes what it calls this 'blot on our nation," Here are some of its facts: Two hundred thousand of the 1.200,000 people in greater Washington are Negroes.

Washington is a Jim Crow town. The Negroes are forced to live in the so-called Black Belt, an area with a 2Vi-mile radius around the business district. They cannot buy or rent homes elsewhere. They can't even hang on to what they have. The black about his wheat.

It is only when the war starts and he applies lor a commission in the Navy that his dire secret is revealed. Then, he and his children go through a holocaust which has shattering impact. Where de Rochemonl, Werker and the scenarist have been chiefly triumphant is in lilting the work the new asphalt surface of the avenue "give" these hot days. Then as the green "go" light whlfce the power goes on, the dual-tires wide as a man's body, groan as get the load into motion.

The fair Is looking up. Reports of new buildings and repairs, the splendid premium book mailed out earlier usual, Inquiries as to exhibits, all combine to indicate Increased interest in the big fall show. And comes the announcement of a lively square dance contest as 1949 feature at the fair.

"Squares" composed of both 4-H members and adults will be featured, under direction of a committee headed by Clarence Gladfelter, who knows his square dancing. This contest should create as much interest as any stunt the fair officers could have devised, because of the increased popularity of this kind of dancing. And then, this year the fair goers will get to see a well-planned program of horse racing. It has been many years since racing has been featured at Lyon county's fairs, but apparently it is set to stage a comeback, replacing the trend toward auto races and mechanical thrill shows. Kansas fairs, including Lyon county's show, appear to be swinging back to old-time dancing with old MUTUAL BUILDING AIR CONDITIONED The Mutual Building and Loan association is one of the latest additions to the list of air-conditioned business establishments.
