Under the winter snow banked
nd drifted around the lodge,
Inn and chalet of Sun Valley
1 the richest bluegrass lawn In
Idaho. Thii grass, which lies
frozen and dormant during the
exhilarations of the skiine sea-
sin, is symbolic of the trans
formation the resort undergoes
from winter to summer.
Such a good job of bathing
E in ValJy In dazzling winter
ized glamor has been done, what
-ith peopling the place with
movie stars, presidents. Interna
tional celebrities, beautiful
women and handsome men, that
th average budget-conscious
family was once timid about
tackling tne resort in the sum
mer season.
Anyway, who would go to the
nation's most famous ski resort
in summer when the snow
Is all melted?
Well, lots and lots of people,
both the Hollywood species and
the budget-reminded family are
showing up at the Sawtooth
mountain resort to sip a cool-
temperatured vacation loaded
with all kinds of entertainment.
Blaay Arrive Br Auto
Despite the fact the resort was
built and is owned and operated
by the Union Pacific railroad,
a large number of guests arrive
in automobiles, just as we did
vhen we arrived in a white Ore
grin State Motor association mo
torlog car and highballed the
family into a couple of comfort
able rooms in the Challenger
inn.
Here. 13 hours' driving time
from Portland, we began an ex
citing stay In the bluegras
principality of Sun Valley.
The hottest attraction in the
summer is also the coolest. It is
the 16,200-square-foot Ice skat
big rink, said by the builders to
be the largest year-round out
door rink in the world.
In no time at all, say a few
hours, children who have never
been closer to Ice than an eleo
trio refrigerator are actually
standing upright on skates. In
a few days, some are skating
backwards, thanks to the help
of the Olympic caliber skating
pros.
-it. - Cv t''
One wintertime activity continues throughont snmmer at Son
Valley. Here the writer's children. Sheila and Joe, tried Ire
skating nnder the warm sun. This Is popular attraction.
The rink is in front of the
Lodge Terrace, so it is possible
each night to -enjoy the best
food in Sun Valley and watch
the skaters spin on the bril
liantly lighted rink.
If you get either bored or
bruised by the skating, there
is the Sun Valley Opera House,
which shows first-run movies
each night; there are two bars,
nightly dancing, two dining
rooms and a cafeteria for the
guy who has to watch the fam
ily dollars. There is also good
television, for those who refuse
to escape.
Hayrack rides and pack trips
aboard horses to Trail Creek
cabin where a jazz trio provides
dancing music are offered twice
a week.
Kids Have Playground
There are two swimming
pools; a nine-hole golf course
with 18 tees; one of the finest
trap or skeet shooting rigs in
the nation and a rifle and pistol
range.
There is trout fishing in near
by creeks between June 4 and
October 31 and restricted fishing
for lazy guests in the Sun Valley
lake. There are four tennis
courts and a pro to improve
your shots. There are also 100
western riding horses and a
superabundance of wide open
spaces.
A special playground, stocked
with baby sitters, is provided
for young children. Also, the

common between the two major
hotels has no auto traffic, so
children are safe walking there.
Bicycles and tricycles can be
rented for modest sums. Cycling
is a favorite form of transporta
tion for all ages.
The Impressive lawn and
landscaping, never seen by the
winter visitors, is not just to
look at. Comfortable lounges
around duck ponds and picture
book bridges and waterfalls
make the common an ideal
place to soak up the sun and
ignore the world.
Rooms and rates to fit most
pocketbooks, ranging from cele
brity - like accommodations in
the lodge to dormitory rooms
for four at motel prices, are
available. You can spend as little
or as much money as you like.
However, most of the entertain
ment and rides, except for the
swimming pools, which are free
to hotel guests, will cost extra
money.
Shoshone Is Railhead

perature in July, generally the
hottest month in the valley.

Driver from Oregon and
Washington will approach Sun
Valley from the west through
Boise. It is 121 miles from Boise
over U. S. highways 30, 26 and

ors are picked up on busses for
the 55-mile trip north to the re
sort. Only an hour's driving time
from Shoshone are the volcanic
and lava splendors of the
Crater of the Moon, one of the
geological wonders of the na
tion. Four and a half hours more
driving will bring you to Yel
lowstone national park, where
nature has Indulged in super
exertions to provide scenery.
Summer activities at Sun Val

down for repair and refurbish
ing in preparation for the ski
season that opens at Christmas
and runs to early April.
Pan Am Now Serves Island
By Qirect 10-Hour Flight
Bridgetown, Barbados HB
This Caribbean oasis has opened
its airport to an American air
line and decked to go after the
American tourist market with a
vengeance,
After 15 years of trying. Pan
American World Airways won
its fight to serve this British
West Indian island directly in
stead of by shuttle flight. When
PAA ran its first plane in here
recentlv, the locals were out
spokenly hopeful that a flood of
Americans would follow.
Barbados has been somewhat
off the beaten track for Ameri
cans, although it lies in the heart
of the island chain that arcs
southward from Puerto Rico to
the South American coast.
Its charm lies in that element
of quiet backwash, since for
rre than 300 years it has been
a bit of England in the tropics.
ut with the coming of new
days and the prospect of the new
Caribbean Federation, Barbados
longs for the clink of Yankee
dollars.
Long known as the "sugar
bowl of the British Empire,"
and a place favored by the ship
wreckers of pirate days, it now
needs more than sugar cane to
insure a living for its growing
population of more than 240,000
persons.
10-Hour Flight
Most are colored, and they
are showing the stirrings of col
ored races all over tie world
At present, they work five
months a year in the sugar cane
fields and at the sugar factories.
The rest of the year they get
by somehow, calling their plight
"the hard times" and waiting
for better days.
But these are days of pro
gress, and the people of Bar
bados feel the need for industry. '
commerce and tourism to make I
their lot a better one.
They have all the built-in ad
vantages to make their dreams
come true. Their climate is de
lightful ranging from the up
per 70's to the low 80's and
caressed by the gentle trade
winds to give the place a built
in air conditioning system.
They haye six de luxe club3,
12 first-claW hotels and a num
ber of second-class hotels and
guest houses offering a total of
nearly 1,000 beds. Prices range
from less than S4 per person to
about $18 per person in the
winter which is the busiest sea
son. From May 1 to Nov. -30
the off-season rates at the de
luxe clubs and the first class
hotels run from $6 to about $9
per person, and even less for
groups.
Such prices, and the new ease
of reaching this island al
though it's 1.825 miles from
New York and 2,023 miles from
New Orleans should bring Bar
bados into competition with
Miami, Cuba and the Bahamas
as a tourist mecca.
Pan Am's new three-times-a-week
flights from New York
bring the U. S. metropolis and
Bridgetown within less than 10
hours flying time of each other

MilitaryCivilian
Air Officials Differ
On Arizona Airways
Washington HP - A battle
of the airways between military
and civilian planes is on in Ari
zona. The conflict involves jet
planes flying north and south
out of Luke Air Force base and
airliners and other civilian
planes flying east and west
along the airways out of Phoen
ix. Collisions Ftarad
The Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration, fearing collisions in
the crossing pathways, issued
an order June 7 requiring all
planes crossing the major east
west airways to fly below 2,000
feet altitude.
Planes traveling on the east
west airways were ordered to
At Least 400 Dead
In Philippine Flood
Manila HPi At least 400 per
sons were killed and another
1,000 fear dead in one of the
worst floods in Philippine his
tory, reports from remote Pan
gasinan Province said today.
The flash floods triggered by
typhoon Wendy swept entire vil
lages away on the northern
island of Luzon and some 30.000
persons were reported homeless
in an area covering six towns.
It was feared that more than
1.500 persons may have been
swept away by the surging
waters of the Agno river.
The government was rushing
new troops and relief workers to
the scene.
The typhoon last was reported
sweeping toward the Chinese
mainland with 70 mile an hour
winds. The Hong Kong Observa
tory said it would pass 100 miles
south of the colony by Thurs
day. Escaped Prisoner
Held for Arizona
Portland HPI A n d r e w D.
Polan, Arizona state prison es
capee serving a life sentence lor
murder, waived preliminary
hearing Tuesday and was being
held here until Arizona author
ities could arrange for his extra
dition.
Polan was raDtured here Mon
day by the FBI after a tip from
an unidentified person who saw
his picture in a post office.
Robert L. MCK.ee, roian bi-
fnmv niH Polan had been in
Oregon for 'the past year and
had been working in the office
of a logging company.
Polan was convicted in the
1953 slaying of Herbert Wright
Sr. at Phoenix and entered
prison on April 25, 1955, the
FBI said. He escaped March 4,
1956.
remain above 3,000 feet.
The commanding general at
Luke objected. He said crossing
the airways below 2,000 feet is
highly dangerous for jets be
cause of collision danger. He
alro said severe turbulence at
such low altitudes over the des
ert creates hazards for student
pilots flying in formation.
Exercising the military's right
to object, he served notice he
would not comply and said his
jets would fly as high as 2,500
feet when crossing the north
south runways. He said this alti
tude is necessary for safety.
Previous Order Applied
The CAA, which rules civilian
air traffic, asked the Civil Aero
nautics Board with power to con
trol military planes as well to
overrule the Luke commander.
Last Friday the CAB gave the
CAA power to handle the matter
and the CAA applied its previous
order to both military and civil
ian planes.
CAA officials said, however,
that as far as they know the
Luke commander is still letting
hi jets fly across the east-west
airlanes at 2,500 feet.
The CAA order specified a
coiling of 3.000 feet above mean
sea level for the jets. This is
2,000 feet above the ground at
Luke.
MONEY CLAIM BACKFIRES
Fort Mill, S. C. m Glen
Mullinax thought he had a
shrewd financial deal in the
making when he claimed $17.34
in city taxes paid over the past
three years on the ground that
he lived outside the city limits.
But the alert town council
promptly billed him for $72 for
city garbage collections during
that time.

Malheur Bridge Repair
Bids To Be Presented

uty Highway Engineer Forrest
Cooper that plans and specifica

the Malheur bridge north of On

Rolling Dice for
Drinks Said Illegal
Portland (W Police Chief
William J. Hilbruner warned
cocktail lounge and tavern oper
ators Tuesday they will be sub
ject to arrest if patrons are per
mitted to throw dice for drinks
or jukebox music.
Complaints had been received,
Hilbruner said, that patrons in
some night spots were rolling
dice with employees for drinks
instead of dealing with cash.
A Portland gambling ordi

Pedaling Reclaims
'Hopeless Cripple'
Seattle, Wash. OPl Nineteen
years of pedaling a giant tri
cycle back and forth across
America have reclaimed what
doctors once called "a hopeless
cripple."
Wilfred F. Wright, 57, a bache
lor from St. Petersburg, Fla.,
rolled into Seattle earlier this
week after pedaling some 3,918
miles from his southern home.
He left Florida May 3 and is en
route to Alaska.
Wright began pedaling the
mammoth three-wheeler in 1939,
a year after doctors in a veterans
hospital had pronounced him a
hopeless cripple. It began as just
a health exercise, but in the 19
years suice, he says he has made
five trans-continental journeys
aboard his velocipede:
It is estimated that some of
the engines in use on the Cana
dian railroads build up as much
mileage as 16,000 miles within
30 days.
