r i. FkIDAY, DCCEMEER 29th., 1944 Great Dismal Featured Stretching over two thousand miles of Virginia and North Caro lina is the Great Dismal Swamp . . . one of America's strangest natural phenomena, begins an ar tip) in the January issue of COR ONET MAGAZINE. Rejected by William Byrd as not ' fit for man, , beast or bird," it was purchased hv Georea Washington who spent vears trying to tame it But he had no success and neither have any of the men who followed him. An impartial host, the great wamn has harbored savages. slaves, lawbreakers and ghosts for centuries. Then, as now, ner wea- oons for their defense were quick and, dense undergrowths, pois onous plants and reptiles and fierce bears. The same terrors that kept the hunters from seek ing the hunted tnere in me pasi keep everyday ioik irom ventur ing far into the Swamp today. But for the stronghearted in search of ageless beauty, says CORONET, Old Dismal offers the warm hand or friendship ana gives a million dollar performance at every season of the year. Her ground, which is a strange quag mire, trembles beneath the trav eller's feet Lake Drummond, in the very center, is colored like old Madeira wine. Beautiful deer come down to the banks for water and a fortune in mink inhabits her forests. Entrance to the swamp can be made only by boat through one of its four canals. When, riding be neath the overhanging boughs of trees that line the canal, you hear the raucous barking of dogs, you know you have arrived at the in terior and are nearing the Swamp home of Harry Jackson and his 23 dogs. All visitors to Old Dismal know Harry, says CORONET. For 56 years he has been a worshipping inhabitant of the Swamp. His castle, known as "Jake's Hotel" is a two-room shanty that he built himself. When the U. S. Government took over the Swamp back in 1912, Harry was taken over with it. For without him, Old Dismal would be an even greater mystery. The old woodsman sometimes ponders his relationship with the govern ment He says he's never looked at the checks it sends him so he doesn't know whether he's over or underpaid, or who's getting the best of the deal. Harry's shack is situated just a few teet from Lake Drummond and many are the stories he tells about the weird sights and sounds he has seen there during the noc turnal hours. Other witnesses verify his tales of bizarre and mysterious lights that appear on the surface of the Lake. The wish of canoes and the soft plop of paddles have been heard when no human being was out there. The ghosts of Lake Drummond have been glorified in the world's most beautiful legends, one of the most lovely of which is Thomas Moore's THE LAKE OF DISMAL SWAMP. Some people who live -on the fringe of Old Dismal say these ghosts are more likely to be very much alive figures for no one knows to this day just who or what Uvea In Great Dismal Swamp. Common notices in the 1800's were those posted in the vicinity of the swamp describing runaway slaves . who might be heading for sanctuary in its jun gles. Even today fleeing figures dart further into its jungle when surprised by a hunter stalking deer. In a brighter tomorrow, the brooding swamp may be conquer ed. Newer and gayer trails may lead through her stout old heart. But until that day, Old Dismal will remain one of America's greatest treasures, reserved for the stronghearted few.

BENSON PrtsitUt-Jaraing College White Bear White Bear is the n::ne of a man, a full-blood Quapaw Indian who is living now. His home is at Qus paw, Okla., where he is well and favorably known for miles farther than his neighbors can see the smoke from his tepee. The word tepee is not literal, of course. White Bear has a comfortable home, chil dren and grandchildren to brighten his declining years. He is past sev enty. White Bear's small income from oil royalties has shrunk lately to a bare subsistence. He shared his wealth, when he had it, freely with people less fortunate than he, red men and others. Some grandpar ents live in the past, but not White Bear. He has remained interested in things, probably because of his youngest child, an only son. The boy was a true Quapaw brave, in fact, a paratrooper. Once to Every Man Finally to White Bear's fireside came an ominous little, yellow en velope ... a telegram from the War Department. The son had liq uidated his obligation to the coun try that was verily his own. The tragedy took place in training ma neuvers near Des Meines, la. White Bear hesitated no minute after the news came. Promptly he drew his savings from the bank, all of them, and boarded a bus. At Des Moines a businesslike of ficer showed White Bear his son's pall. The proud father was ashamed. The casket seemed' far too cheap for one so great and noble as an American paratrooper, a Quapaw full-blood. White Bear haltingly spoke his mind and the officer told him how much the government would pay toward a more preten tious funeral. The old tribesman took the suggestion and accepted the credit Honor to Whom Honor At home the young brava had been prominent and popular, loved and admired by many. He must now return like a hero. Handsome things the father desired cost 72 more, than the government's fixed amount. White Bear paid without protest. Then the unhappy father left shipping instructions with the officer, and disappeared. Out to ward the highway he went without a dollar, to thumb rides home In time for the funeral. Forget for a moment those jaunty horsemen of the planes whose hatch ets retarded the Gold Rush. Forget also the colored tales of modern Osages rolling in wealth. Here is something more nearly true: Speci men of a vanishing race, sore of foot and dim of vision, trudging home ward hungry, quite ignored by hur rying traffic; a stranger in his na tive West, too proud to beg, too honorable to steal. Help At Extremity South of Kansas City a short way, White Bear's time was more than half gone, his vitality almost de pleted and his Journey not yet half finished when help came. A sub urbanite who had seen Indians be fore, sparing his tires along the highway's outer lane, . saw the old man with perceiving eyes; dis missed him two hours later, strengthened with a $2 steak and humbled with a ticket home. .. How ideally American is this elder of the Quapaws. From his eyes no gaudy tears, no simpering about economic inequalities, no railing at "the system," no carping about rig Id Army rules. With admirable in dependence he faced, all alone, what might have been his last crisis, with bitterness toward none. Warmed by neighborly Interest however, his (altering English was eloquent to glorify his scion, his state and his race.
