When he reluctant ly goes to work for a rancher to support, his newfound family, he settles a loi.-standing feud by ex posing the ranch foreman as the head of a rustling ring. Four of the best child actors in Hollywood, Orley Lindgren, Jim my Hunt, Gordon Gcbert and Gregory MofTett, share support-! ing honors with an excellent sup porting cast headed by John Mc Intire, John Russell, Jeanette Nolan and Antonio Moreno. Film Stars Careless In GunFightih' What our cowboy movie stars need besides new sights for their six-shooters, is a stretch of Army basic training. The other night We were sitting watching Hopalong Cassidy and ii, buddies in a gunfight with a passer of varmints. Everybody s shooting at every body il e. at a range from 15 to SO yards. There were plenty of nice, big tree") around, but everybody's sit ting on a horse, except a couple of smart bandits, who have taken cover behind a log in some under brush. Yet when one of the boys drops off his horse and takes to one of the tren, what does he do? He's a right-handed shooter. Hut he's taking his shots from the side of the tree to his left. Any recruit whose arm hasn't had time to o,uit aching from the medics' needle knows that you Just don't shoot right-handed from, the left side of your cover, since it leaves most of your manly torso exposed. Then there's the ambitious gent trying to nail his man witTi a six shooter at a range of 50 or more yards while his Winchester rests in his saddle sheath. But the payoff comeS when, af ter dispatching the lesser of the desperadoes with a gun, Hopalong Uckles the chief villain the hard way.' .. After a chase, in which his gun is flapping harmlessly in his hol ster, he runs his horse ragged to get neek-and-neck with his man. Then, with considerable hazard to life and limb, he proceeds to jump from his racing horse, and drag the bad man down to the ground with him. That, of course, is only the beginning. I i ue uoys siug u out, ioe io iqe, uiiui, nnauy, me nero s lasi weary punch lays the man low. Hopalong. however. Isn't the on ly cowboy who's guilty of such i carelessness. I All our other lads are in about I the same boat. ' Red Ryder's costume for chas ing his well-armed prey, includes a bright red shirt, visible for miles on a foggy day.

Then there's the technique crossing or riding on ridges. Every recruit during his first week of basic is warned to crawl not walk upright- when he has to cross a ridge in daylight in ene my country. Strolling along a ridge, or cross ing one gives even a myopic snip er a good chance at your silhouette Vet here's our cowboy hero, stalking the unseen enemy through mountain country. The bad man is somewhere, per haps laying In wait behind a rock or something, with his rifle or pis tol ready and homicide in his heart, and the hero knows it. What does our boy do? Grimly, he looks for tracks rid ing his horse right along the top of a ridge. Or our man is stili tracking the villain while the sun goes down. What does he do? He just settles down, builds a nice bright tire right out in the open somewhere, then gets right up close to it so he can stare thoughtfully into the flamesand make a nice target for his enemy. But somehow or other, our boy so far has escaped serious injury In spite of his little short-comings, and presumably will continue to do so. On the other hand, perhaps the hero deliberately disregards such essential precautions to cut down the odds a little and make the match more even. Then again, his opponents don't shoot very straight in the first place, so it's probably not very im portant. But we do wish Hopalong and his buddies would be a little more careful about such things. One of these day's one of them is going to get hurt. lj ri ii nr.
