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. ,
