Benefit for the Hard of Niagara To Disappear Soon Geologists Says Niagara Falls, N.Y. (U.P.) Niagara Falls will be nothing more than a long series of rapids in a "short time" say the geolo gists, so maybe you should hur ry up and get a look at the mighty cascade of foaming wat er before it's gone. Executive Secretary A. M. Anderson of the Niagara Fron tier State Parks Commission agreed with the predictions of the geologists recently but was not too concerned about the dis appearance of the falls. "If you're talking about a thousand years or so from now, that is probably true," Anderson commented. "Geologically, a thousand years is a short time." The geologists base their pre dictions on the fact that the falls are receding to a strata of soft rock few hundred yards up stream. When the brink of the falls reaches the soft rock it will cut through and form a steep rapids. Road Changes Scene of Hemingway Tales Horton Bay, Mich. U.R) No tice to Ernest Hemingway: The elms are gone, the smithy, too. It was in this little northern Michigan community that the famous novelist, then an un known, convalesced from wounds suffered as an ambu lance driver in World War I. He rested beneath the rows of stately- elms and gathered material for his stories on northern Mich igan in Dolworth's blacksmith shop. cNow, both the elms and the blacksmith shop are gone, vic tims of a county road-widening project. Local authorities decid ed the elms presented a traffic hazard and. a task force of con struction workers cut them down.. o The new road will run across the sitowBere Dilworth's smithy stood. Those ofrthe town's 75 inhabitants who remember Hemingway were saddened, as they watched the big trees fall. But to thers this was just an other sign of0 progress. , C o o WOOD To Mr. and Mrs. Bill, route 1, box 92, Eagle Point, Oct. 30, 1955,;, a girl 6Vi pounds, at Community hospital. o Visits Daughter Mrs. Mabelle A.
