BEST MOVIE OSCAR SHOWS DEPTHS OF HOLLYWOOD INSANITY BY HAL WILLIAMS The awarding of the movie "Midnight Cowboy the Oscar for the best movie of the year is too incredible for most people to believe. Especially if they have seen the movie. For those who have seen it, Midnight Cowboy" has to be one of the most repulsive stories to be put to the screen test since the last X rated movie was shown locally. Midnight Cowboy" is a touching touch-ing story of a young, immoral Texan who feels that he could make a good living as a male prostitute in the big city of New York. His pimp (DustinHoffman-who (DustinHoffman-who plays a perfect part) has trouble drumming up business with some of the New York socialites with whom Jon Voight (Midnight Cowboy) attempts to make it big. After the Cowboy gets desperate, des-perate, he turns to homosexuality homosexual-ity only to find his lover to have no money. Further attempts to get work and continuous illness of his pimp cause the pair to head for more lucrative possibilities in Florida. And the audience is emotionally emotion-ally caught up in the apparent pneumonia death of the pimp on their bus trip to Florida. This leaves the audience to have empathy with the poor pimp and the poor, destitute Cowboy. What would he do now? Some scenes were certainly obscene and pornographic. But it's apparent that Jerome Hell-man Hell-man and John Schlesinger (producers) knew just how to get by the law by making the movie have some "redeeming social value." It was just plain repulsive, You can protect your income against declining interest rates for the next 2V2 years Invest in First Security Bank subordinated notes paying 6V2 subordinated notes also available with 5-year maturity. Minimum investment $500 and in multiples of $100 above that amount Ask for offering circular at any First Security Bank First Security Bank of Utah, National Association mmi mL degernerate, and obscene. But it was well-made and the acting was superbl And that's the apparent rationale ra-tionale for giving it the Oscar. The Oscar to JohnWayne was a refreshing surprise. And wouldn't you know that the best f oriegn film award was given to Z"-a movie that vitupera-tively vitupera-tively attacks today's anti-Communist military government of Greece. The film was made by F renchmen under Algerian auspicies. And modern history tells us that Algerian is in the Communist camp. Bob Hope, the emcee for the annual Oscar presentations, said that this cinema season will go down in history proving that crime doesn't pay but there's a fortune in adultery, incest, and homosexuality. The comic added: "Are you gonna tell me we're honoring a sadistic king, a consumptive drifter, a male hustler, a school teacher dropout and a one-eyed sheriff: This is not an Academy Awards-it's a freak-out..." And freak-out is correct. The millions of Americans who had the fortitude to stay with the Oscar presentations must have had their stomachs turned many times when some of Hollywood's perverts appeared on the stage. One of the saddest awards given that night was to so-called comedian George JesseL To honor this man with an Oscar was an insult to entertainment and the industry. After he played in the most pornographic picutre of the year "Can Heironymous Merken Ever Forget Mercy Humpy-he should have been boycotted boy-cotted out of the entire "enter-taiment" "enter-taiment" field., in this writer's opinion.

In fact, Hollywood's walls are already crumbling. A parting shot: The Communist Party's newspaper (People's World) of last Saturday Satur-day was "pleased" that "Midnight "Mid-night Cowbody" received the best picture award.

Modern gas ranges give you your choice of two different solutions to the chore of cleaning your oven. Eacli has its benefits - it's up to you to decide which you prefer. Self-cleaning (pyrolytic) gas ovens operate on a special cycle and reduce oven soil to a fine ash which wipes quickly away. Some models incorporate the broiler in the oven so that it also cleans automatically. Gas self-cleaning ovens operate faster and more economically than the flameless kind. Continuous cleaning (catalytic) gas ovens help keep themselves clean at normal nor-mal baking temperatures. All but heavy soil or spill-overs disappears while you cook. Whichever system you choose, you'll be delighted to discover that gas cooking is cleaner anyway! any-way! And all modern gas ovens are automatically safe. Want a clean oven? Let a modern gas range with a self -cleaning or continuous cleaning oven do the work for you! ? t - better deal!

It is indicative indica-tive of the strange world we live in that a measly thing like the measles should make doubtful such a thing as a man-walk on the moon.

If I wear something some-thing to keep the rain off, there will be no rain. If I dress for a warm spring day, I'll not only get drenched but the wind will unravel me. Looking out my west upstairs window, I see the top of my flowering plum tree tossing in the wind and a beautiful sight it is, too. But next to it is my last beloved black locust tree ;Q " tlt IZtTZtl Zr as dead as a door nail...Now mails any deader than the ordinary ordi-nary kind? Did you see the comet? I was up three times in the dead of night to see the sight and a beautiful beau-tiful one it was. The first time at about twenty after four in the morning the astral visitor was just over the "Y" mountain. There was an unearthly glow abroad that A modern GAS range gives you a For TOTAL Partridge night, and those rugged mountains looked as though they were mad of mist, and floating. No substance sub-stance to them at all and there, above the phenomenon they call a comet. And how many million miles away? I get spots before my eyes thinking of it. A moon-walk and a comet in a week's time! Meanwhile, here at The Last Resort, I have to figure a way to get the tin part off the top of my brick chimney. The wind has loosened it and now it flaps and in the more or less silent night, is a little disconcerting. The news these days has a more or less morbid fascination for me. I know it won't be good, and sure enough it isn't. The last wholesale murder not too far from here, well, I have to turn the radio off before the horrid details are broadcast. Once, it seems to me, is more than enough but it is repeated and repeated and I just can't bear to be reminded that little children....ENOUGH! And now it is past ten a.m. and the stores are open. I can now start my rounds of errands. Will end up at a friend's house who has a T.V. and on with the moon walk. Have so many things I want to go into, but they just don't seem appropriate for the day of a moon launching.
