POTPOURRI
Zion National Park, July IB - "Whenever you come, you
will find here soul-stirring scenes of spectacular and ma
jestic beauty that can provide richly rewarding experiences.'1
This paragraph from a booklet on Zion National park is
well said. This is an awesome part of the North American
continent - a spot where liny man seems unimportant and
where the stream of life and nature are what really count.
The first men to view these magnificent sights must have
thought they were favored of God - in fact, those who see
1hem today, as we did, must all surely feel humble and
privileged.
When the vistas of red, lavender, yellow and white first
began to unfold today we wondered how these fabulous for
mation came into being, and read with deepening interest
this part of a Park service pamphlet. "Like so many pages
in a book, rock layers of the towering cliffs and slopes in
the Zion region tell a fascinating geological story of natural
forces operating for more than 150 million years," the book
Jet section on geology begins. "They reveal that successive
occurrences of vast seas, flat lands, raging rivers, tropical
lowlands with cycad and tree-fern forests, deserts with great
moving sand dunes, tremendous earth upheavals and erosion
have all played a part in forming the region.
"Over the millions of years, in ever-changing cycles, the
region continued to rise and then subside; oceans moved in
and out several times and finally more than a vertical mile
of sediment had been deposited over the highest of the great
sand dunes that you see today as slandstone walls.
"About 13 million years ago, when the Zion country was
again near sea level, a slow, gradual uplift of the entire re
gion began. Eventually, the land was lifted thousands of feet.
In rising, the land mass broke into great blocks. The lines
of cleavage between them are known as faults, the most
famous of which is the Hurricane fault. Near Kanarraville,
Utah, this prominent geological feature attains its maximum
displacement, estimated to be
lifted vertically, some tended
varying angles, resulting in differing forms and heights."
This is the scientific explanation of a phenomenon which
causes men and women to stand
lifted toward the skies as they look at the massive, towering
walls, domes and sculptured peaks of unbelievable coloring.
On such a day as this, the two of us knew that we were
smart to own a convertible car which can go topless. About
2 p.m., Potpourri ventured the opinion that we should have
put the top on. bothersome as the job is. For the temperature,
in the shade, was near a hundred and the interior of the Doll
was steaming. But later as we drove through Zion park's
pink and white canyon walls, we were sorry for the other
travelers who had to get out of their cars at the roadside in
order to see, and who miss so much.
Of course, some visitors take to the trails by foot or on
horseback. We would like to spend at least a week here, and
do some hiking. We did take time to climb a well-paved trail
tip to see the Weeping rock and were oh. so thankful, that we
did. At this spot in the canyon water drips, in thousands of
droplets, from the sheer face of the canyon wall. One can
look up and watch the drops sparkling in the sunlight as they
fall and feel their coolness on face and neck. By some magic
of nature, little rock plants grow on the underside of an
over-hanging section - we marveled and wondered how the
feeds had been carried there - perhaps by the wind.
Near where we stood, we spied a doe nibbling away at the
leaves on the undprbrush. Deer are to be found in many parts
of the park, and are unafraid.
Zion park seems to he well tended and operated. Indeed,
this citizen has always believed that the national parks sys
tem is an excellent one and we are grateful that some wise
and forward-looking men and women have conceived the
Ideas for national parks and have seen that they were carried
out.
When the federal government began taking slrps to pur
chase this part of the country from the Mormon people who
settled here many years ago. there were doubtless those who
worked against it. much as there are those who do not want
the Oregon dunes section to become a part of the national
parks system. It would have been a truly great tragedy if
this part of Utah had not been made a national park for all
who wish to come and see and enjoy - and have their souls
stirred.
The soul and mind will take in only what the body can
endure, we've heard many times. Well, our body is "en
during" this trip better so far all because nf a little brown
ftraw hat with red cotton ties atlached. Two years ago when
we first acquired The Doll we tried out various scarves, bon
nets, bills and what not and did pretty well for cool weather
driving. For hot weather driving, we bought two hats with
brims and ties, but both were ton large and flapped around
and were a nuisance.
A few days before we left on nur vacation our hair
dresser friend. Tcecy L. at Rollands offered to' loan us the
hat she wears in her open Thunderhirrt. And hallelujah - it
works. It slays snugly nn top nf the editorial head, and gives
some shade to the fare and eyes. However, we give warning
to Pe;gy - the hat is getting some severe treatment in unite
of our solicitious c.-re. It probably isn't going to be in very
good condition when we get bark in Medfnrd.
Today we've been grateful to our spouse for several fa
vors. First, that he suggested the trip into southern Utah,
econd that he does all the planning and driving, while all
we have to do is ride along, and lastly that he suggested we
atop early this afternoon and try to find a cabin near the
park's main lodge. This we have done - the cabin is clean
and well furnished, and the dinner we had this evening in the
second-stnry dining room, of the lodge was tasty and well
served Navajo Indian rug hung on the walls and stair rail

should women go into space?
It is inevitable. Russians
are training women cosomo

will go into space soon.
American women will go in
to space too, when scientists
decide they are needed. But
at present no American wom

The bank established a chil

"It. is interesting, like a

During one of the 110 sep
arate tests, we pedalded an
exercise bicycle until our
lungs ached and our muscles
were ribhons of pain. When
our pulse rate reached 180,
we were stopped.
Icy Ordeal
In another test, ice waters
was squirted into our ears un
til we got dizzy. This was to
test our equilbrium. Our eyes
would be out of focus, too,
and the doctors would time
how long it look for them
to return to normal.
Then there was the "cold
pressor" test. Our hands were
put in ice water for a minute
each. Change in blood pres
sure due to pain was noted.
Most days we missed one
or two meals in preparation
for the tests. In fact, we had
three full meals only one
day. We did get all of our
sleep, however.
The week was rugged. But
It was stimulating. And the
goal was high.
Thirteen women, including
these writers, passed. There

lake time. We believe the
testing of women astronaut
candidates should be contin
ued immediately. Then if sci
entists determine women are
needed for space work, quail
fied candidates will be ready
for training.
If for no other reason, test
ing should be continued to
obtain research data on wom
en comparable to that on the
men. Women will go into
space, if only as pa.ssencers.
Space flight is barely off the
launching pad.
Why do we and the other
eleven women candidates par
ticularly want to go into
space?
We are pilots and we have
exploded the airman's world
to its cloudless invisible
boundaries. We want to cross
those boundaries.
Space flight is at the most
exciting and meaningful ad
venture man has ever known
and we want to be part of it. I
But mayb it is even sim
pler than that. Women want
to go into space for perhaps
the same reason the man
wanted to climb the moun
tain: Because it is there.
