Utr - vt here, near the De -hut"s eace Hopes Brighter Weather Takes Turn For Better Fair but partly cloudy weather is in tne ouing lor at least the next two days, with only a remote possibility of electric storms in the mountains. This was the good news received today by directors of the 1955 Mir ror pond pageant which this week end, on Suturday and Sunday nights, will attract thousands to Bend from all parts of the north west. Forecasts of improving weather came as a weak but blustery storm moved inland from the Pacific and headed east.

The route to the park from the Central Oregon side remained closed this morning, but was ex pected to open later in the day. Bend received only .01 of an inch of moisture from yesterday's storm.
