Filmed in color in the Kananaskis Valley, a spectacular slash in the Canadian Rockies, the picture describes the early life and hard times of a pup of the Malemute breed (seven parts Husky, one part wolf). As the story starts, the pup lies playfully tussling with a black bear cub in the bottom of a canoe. All at once the canoe capsizes, and the two wobbly whippersnappers are flung into the river, washed over a waterfall. When at last they struggle ashore, pup and cub are alone in the great north woods, far from human help but entirely too close...
...hilarious switch on the man-walks-dog routine, a kindergarten course in the divergence of species, and possibly even a sly political charade with special interest for those nations that are tied to a bear. When the pup leaps off in pursuit of a wood rat, the cub just sits there on his little bear behind and wonders vaguely what all the barking is about, so the rat gets away and the pup goes hungry. The bear on the other hand finds plenty to eat -berry bushes and beehives can't run away. And while the cub is getting...

But, as top relief pitcher for the lowly Chicago Cubs, Journeyman Ballplayer Elston is doing what comes unnaturally-and doing it uncommonly well. Trudging in from the Wrigley Field bullpen with monotonous regularity, he has appeared in 18 of his team's 43 games, won five of its 17 victories, and saved five other games-three last week alone-for hard-hit Cub starters. Says an admiring teammate: "Don Elston is the best 'short...
...like my Mom because . . ."; prizes for the oldest grandmother, the youngest, the most fecund. On the straight promotion side, organizations were choosing Mothers of the Year from the 50 states, from which would be chosen the national Mother of the Year. There will be TV Mother of the Year, Cub Scout Mother of the Year-everything, almost, but the High School Mother of the Year. All in all, the heavy promotion made it hard for the serious organizations to keep things spiritual...
