Parks?
There are many besides the
more famous ones like Yellow
stone and Yosemite, and each
has its own unique beauty.
by Frances and Dorothy Wood
1 ith the approach of Summer's vacation
" season, the names of the national parks
take on a magic aura. Yellowstone, Grand
Teton, Glacier, Grand Canyon, Yosemite:
these are familiar names in thousands of
homes. Yet many of our national parks are
virtually unknown to millions of Americans,
even though every park was created to pre-:
serve some special, unique feature of historic
or scenic interest.
Big Bend combines mountains, desert, and
spectacular canyons on the Rio Grande in
Texas; Carlsbad Caverns, in New Mexico,
preserves the largest and one of the most
beautiful caves in the world; Utah's Bryce
Canyon is a fairyland of fantastic, colorful
rock formations; and Zion, a deep, multi
colored canyon, is filled with a number of
monolithic carvings.
Oregon's Crater Lake features a blue,
blue lake in the crater of an extinct volcano.
Olympic, in Washington, rises from wide
Pacific beaches to rugged, snowcapped
mountains and, midway, contains the coun
try's only rain forests junglelike growths
of tremendous spruce and Douglas fir, in
lush settings of mosses, ferns, and vines.
Each park is different and the differences
offer almost every kind of vacation to be had
in America's outdoors.
Have you ever thought of national park
aa a place where you can coast down a
glacier on the seat of your pants? Try it
in Washington's Mount Rainier, where the
mountain slopes are covered by 26 glaciers.
For a guided hike across one of these Para
dise to beautiful caves of blue ice, each
hiker is furnished with sturdy boots, an
alpenstock, and heavy pants with a paraffin
coated seat. On the return trip, the hikers
sit down on the ice, hook together with their
stocks into human toboggans, and coast down
the glacier on the seats of their "tin pants."
During the short Summer season at Mount
Kuni&- (ilK-at Juoe K 9kpt. 1), you can
O
O
ski, hike, or ride horseback along skyline
trails, where warm sunshine glitters on vast
snowfields; where carpets of wild flowers,
pushing close to the glaciers' edge, combine
the bloom of Spring, Summer, and Autumn.
Short, easy trails -encourage close ac
quaintance with 'The Mountain"; in Para
dise Valley, particularly, short walks from
Paradise Inn lead to viewing points for Nis
qually and Paradise glaciers, and to such
lovely spots as Fairy Pool. For the more
rugged, there are many miles of hiking and
saddle trails. The most ambitious is the
90-mile Wonderland Trail that encircles the
mountain, with shelter cabins at easy inter
vals along the way.
All this has taken on much greater interest
since recent completion of Stevens Canyon
road, for you now can enter from the east
and drive around the mountain and through
the park. However, in the glow of this new,
highly scenic and convenient route, don't
miss the trip north to Sunrise for a magnifi
cent view of Mount Rainier and some of the
big glaciers, such as Emmons and Winthrop.
The completion of Stevens Canyon road is
an accomplishment of Mission 66, that gigan
tic development program intended to bring
national park facilities up to demand level
by 1966. New visitor centers are also under
development, and plans are under way to en
large and extend overnight facilities, includ
ing campgrounds. The considerable Winter
ski season from December to May is re
ceiving attention in improved facilities in
Paradise Valley and at Cayuse Pass.
BW T. McKinley National Park, in the new
state of Alaska, also honors a lofty
mountain highest on the North American
continent, more than 20,000 feet above sea
level. Here are some of the largest wild ani
mals on the continent giant Alaska moose,
Toklat grizzly bears, caribou, Dall sheep.
Lassen Volcanic National Park, north of
Yosemite in California, preserves the area
around a volcano active in our time Mount
Lassen, which last erupted from May, 1914,
to February, 1921. A well-paved highway
crosses the western section, and many of the
most striking volcanic formations and scenic
lakes are within sight of this highway or only
a short walk from it Sulphur Works, Bum
pas Hell, the Devastated Area, Chaos Crags,
and Helen and Emerald lakes.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks,
south of Yosemite, protect the giant sequoi
as, many of which were old, as we think of
age, before Christ was born. In Sequoia's
Giant Forest, so named because of the size
and splendor of its trees, is the General Sher
man Tree. Probably the largest tree in the
world 272 feet high and 101.6 feet around
it is believed to be over 3,500 years old.
Kings Canyon has the second-largest1 se
quoiact the General Grant Tree in Grant
Grove, familiarly known as the nation's
Christmas tree. Giant Forest and Grant
Grove are connected by the famous Generals
Highway, which is open all Winter. q

My relatives and friends were
shocked when they heard I was
studying to become a Catholic.
With complete sincerity . . . and
a genuine concern for my welfare
. . . they set out to show me what
a terrible mistake this would be.
And as I look back now, I realize
that if all the things they believed
about the Catholic Church were
true in fact, I would indeed have
been making a great mistake.
But the important fact is, the
things they thought to be true
were not.
Having been a non-Catholic
myself until early manhood, I can
understand the viewpoint of these
people. And most of them, I
realize, are prompted in their
beliefs not by malice, but by griev
ous misunderstanding. And I am
reminded of Christ's words to the
Apostles: ". . . yea, the time
cometh, that whosoever killeth
you will think that he doeth God
service" (John 16:2).
They sent me all sorts of pam
phlets and tracts condemning the
Catholic teaching on the Sacra
ments, on Baptism, salvation and
other topics. There was, in these
pamphlets, a remarkable lack of
agreement as to the "correct" doc
trine. They were in accord only in
one thing their opposition to
the Catholic doctrine.
I have come a long way since I
first looked at the Catholic Church
through non-Catholic eyes. I am a
convert to Catholicism, and I can,
with knowledge, reason and fair
ness, discuss both sides of "The
Catholic Question."
I have not, as my non-Catholic
friends predicted, lost the slightest
degree of religious freedom. I am
not held to my faith by bonds of
fear or superstition. The Catholic
Church does not corrupt the Scrip
tures ... does not deprive me of
direct access to God... docs not try
to substitute a man-made system
for the true religion of Jesus
Christ. On the contrary, it has con
sistently taught what I am con
vinced are the true teachings of
Jesus.
Not all of those who heard
Christ's words from His own lips
could believe what He said. Many
of His disciples "...went back, and
walked no more with Him" (John
6:67). It would, therefore, be pre
sumptuous of me to think that all
who read this will share my con
viction that the Catholic Church
is "the church of the Living God,
the pillar and ground of the truth."
For the benefit of sincere and
fair-minded people who want to
know the Catholic Church as it is,
I have written a pamphlet discuss
ing many things about the Catho
lic Faith which most disturb and
confuse those on the outside. A
copy is yours for the asking. It will
come to you in a plain wrapper,
and nobody will call on you. Write
today for Pamphlet FM-43.
