By JR79, it became a great health resort and the railroad began bringing multitudes there which stimulated great population growth. Its popula tion has gone up and down between 25,000 and about 2,500 through the years, and now tourism and several outstand ing attractions are the main support of the economy In this delightful community where none of the streets intersect and where many well-maintained Victorlam homes and other structures are sitll nicely maintained. After several hours of free time to stroll around the shopping area and to find a place to lunch, the tourists re-boarded their bus with a qualified local guide who led them about the area. High lights of that guided tour included a visit to the sensa tional glass chapel a little way from town where a short service and lovely music was appreciated., Then a look around town was most en trancingthe old railroad station, the spring-water bot tling works, the old hotel and unusual Victorian homes were pointed out. Kveryone left the bus at the St. Elizabeth of Hungary Koman Catholic Church which is entered through its bell tower and where everyone preceded down to the church which blends elements of three types of architectural design, namely Byzantine, Romanesque and Gothic. From the lovely gardens out side this church it was easy to view the great Christ of the Ozarks statute which was our next stop. After a close look at the striking statue, the tour ists were shown the large outdoor theater where they would come to attend "The Great Passion Play" after dinner that evening. This out standing, large production, which features citizens of the community, Is presented from the last week of April until the last Saturday of October. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. and runs four hours. After the spectacle we were bussed back to our motel at Branson. The last full day there we spent the morning out at near by Silver Dollar City where dozens of craft shops are nestled In an historic old mining town setting. After lunching there, we were taken to the unusual School of the Ozarks, now a certified four year university. An attractive girl student boarded our bus and conducted us around the campus.' We visited the old mill, the beautiful chapel, the excellent museum, the famous Inspiration Point viewpoint and the group of campus greenhouses which contain masses of orchids and other gorgeous plants. When the bus was loaded to leave the cam pus, our guide presented an outstanding, large orchid to Electrolysis & Tliermolysis Permanent Hair Removal Anna Schwarzin, Certified Electrologist 676-9248" .

At Hutchinson, we were scheduled to visit the new Cosmosphcre and Space Cen ter that evening, but because of a power failure in its building that activity was canceled, and because.we had seen exciting attractions for the previous four nights, most of us were glad to stay in our rooms and get more sleep. The next day's excitement was our morning and noon time visit to Dodge City, Kan sas, where we took pictures in the Boot Hill Cemetery, visi ted the museum and re-constructed shops and reviewed more Western history before traveling on to Pueblo, Colo rado.

After a drive around Temple Square and a look at some of the city's sights, we headed for Boise, Idaho promptly by 8 a.m. on Saturday. We lunched at Snowvillc, Utah, where many took final group pic tures in the lovely sunshine. We made wonderful time on the good Idaho freeways, reaching Boise several hours ahead of our scheduled arri val. We Morrow County gals took a vote and decided to push on home instead of stay ing that night in Boise as we had planned. We all gained much from our two-week tour. We found each of the 1 1 states (including Oregon's northeast) very beautiful. We saw how impor tant the Oregon Trail route 'was and still is. We found people friendly everywhere. We noted some very neat and attractive small towns and some that looked messy and rundown. We enjoyed the sight seeing and special attractions that were scheduled for us along the way, and we enjoyed the friendships we strength ened with our companions. We are all glad we made the trip and all arrived home without any mishaps. and Ed Hiemstra ; Low Net Chuck Starks; Long Drive Randy Lott; K.P. - Don Lott; K.P.
