6 A WEDNESDAY, JULY 10. 1969 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Women's News SDokane - The service station attendant In Kallspell ' Mont., Sunday morning was talking to a customer headed for Glacier National park. The customer mentioned the area he planned to visit, and the attendant asked "Has that road been paved yet?" and the young man replied "No, and I hope it never Is. As soon as the roads are Improved, then more people go in and then the area is ruined." ' The attendant agreed and the customer added "Look what's happened to the east section. It's so commercial It's terriDie, I want the west area leu just liKe it is. We sympathize with the young man. When it comes to the matter of "opening up" scenic areas, and making them avail able to the traveler and tourist, we're In the position of wanting to eat our cake and have it, too. We believe they should be available, but we don't like what happens when they are opened. The average tourist is in a hurry, he doesn't have time or isn't interested in much tnat a place line uiacier national park has to offer, but he does enjoy driving through the park with maybe a little time out for a walk up a trail, for a bit of fishing or Just stopping to look at tne unDenevaDie mom tains, lakes, waterfalls and streams. nf course, it isn't Dosslble to decide that one person can visit the area, and another cannot. So there are the visitors who drive too fast, and throw paper, beer cans and other Junk around thereby creating unsightly messes, as well as those who appreciate and enjoy ana ininn oi omers. cunn ings are erected and garbage cans are placed along side clumps of lovely flowers. The never - ending struggle to take care of the visitors and still Keep tne lana as nearly un changed as possible goes on. . . 4l F - 1 4 ( 1 s tt ' 1 ' Jt fits,'' European Tour Closes, Stump Gallery To Open Ashland - Mr. and Mrs. Ar- len J. Briggs have returned from a seven - month tour of Europe and Mrs. Briggs, who last year opened the Stump v y": Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Penington were installed as worthy patron and matron of Reames chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, in ceremonies recently at the Medford Masonic temple. (Landit photo) Reames Chapter Has Officer Installation "Give a month at least to this precious preserve. The time will not be taken from the sum of your life. Instead of shortening, it will indefinitely lengthen it and make you truly immortal." The widely-known Scottish-born naturalist, John Muir, wrote these words after visiting the Glacier park area. If John Mulr did indeed spend a month there, he may not have found immortality but he certainly was a most fortunate man. We would like to spend a month In Glacier, but since we cannot, and half a loaf even a crumb is better than nothing, we are grateful to have been able to spend part of a day there. The Grand Teton mountains, which we saw earlier in this trip, are magnificent; Glacier National park is also mag nificent country and there is a great deal more of it. A dozen or more peaks ranging from about 7,000 feet to more than 10,000 feet are clustered In a relatively small area. We drove through the park on Going to the Sun road which is classed as an engineering marvel for the two-lane high way is chiseled out of the mountain sides. We've been traveling through the west's mountain area for many years and never before did we feel anything but perfectly safe. This time we wished It was possible to leave the car and walk. Driving doesn't give one an opportunity to really en Joy the awesome country, and to look down the sheer slopes from the moving car suddenly gave this female a strange and uncomfortable sensation. As in all such parks and na tional monuments In this country, many turnouts and park ing spots are available and at these we enjoyed the masses ui wuaiiowers ana laenuxiea some new lo us. seargrass, me parte nower, covers many slopes, (-lumps oi the lovely pale blue alpine penstemon, which we had never seen before, are to be seen everywhere and at the top of Logan pass the alpine meadows are now covered with the thousands upon thousands of butter yellow glacier lilies (oi lambstongue or fawn lily) with the white marsh marigolds scattered through. We also found and Pappy photographed a clump of the lovely native pink-flowered hollyhock; we weren't quite sure of the Identification until after a stop at an information building. Four rangers and attendants happened to be in the building and we had a wonderful conversation about 'and Mr , wild flowers. They agree that the subject of the flowers and other native plants Is almost endless since there are more than a thousand of them. On one slope we found 12 dif ferent kinds growing together in a colorful display. We saw no bears, no one mentioned these animals and we saw oniy two smau signs reminding people not to teed them. There are bears in Glacier, of course, but perhaps they are not the problem they seem to be In Yellowstone. Neither were we eaten up by mosquitoes as had been the case in Wyoming where the residents were saying that these pests were the worst In years. At a rock shop In Med icine Bow, the owner said the entire area had been sprayed four times and that hordes of the insects were still maklns life miserable for everyone. Her little shop, with screens on all windows and doors, was still filled with mosquitoes For this trip we decided to pack fewer clothes and take the sleeping bags. Because of the dally thunderstorms and rain, the bags were not unrolled until we reached Spokane Sunday. We looked at the sky about 9 p.m. and decided that we'd get some use out of those sleeping bags even If we had to put them on the patio. (In Spokane we're visiting our daughter and son-in-law.) After the usual stargazing and watching the scudding little buttermilk clouds being shoved around by a stiff breeze, we both settled down to a sound sleep. But not for long. At 3:30 the lightning flashed, the thunder rolled and tne wina lore across the valley. We scrambled Inrinor. taking the sleeping bags, and not a minute too soon. A tor rent oi nan and rain ten, and two more storms followed This morning we heard a forecast which said more of the same the next five days. So Pappy packed the bags and air mattresses back Into the neat roll which goes on the Road Runner's luggage rack, and we have notion they won't come on uniu we reacn nome.

Veni-Vidi By MARGARET SCHULER Dachau - "If the miracle should happen that you live to tell the tale, write what they did to us." That was the request of prisoners of Da chau: men who had no names, only numbers. Men whose ashes escaped from the chim neys, and covered the marshy land surrounding the no torious, horrible camp. It was written and told - the truth about this hotbed of crime and slavery. Dedicated priests and ministers, prison ers also, collected truths about the inhumanities and cruel ties committed inside the walls. Approximately 10 miles from Munich, the camp is to day a memorial to the dead, to the 208,000 persons who entered. Although the citizens of the town of Dachau are reticent about giving direc tions, many visitors find their way to the camp. One young man said to us, "Out In that direction; I have never been there." ' Stigma Pervades Even though trees are green, paths are neat and grass bordered, and there are statues, the stigma, the horror of the place, pervades and lingers. Birds sing in the trees above the "blood ditch"; the sun shines on the locations of extermination. A long low building - bar rack like - houses the me morials - and the ovens. Neat clean ovens with open doors installed on clean cement, are quite like ceramic kilns - or bread bakeries. Before, and above are facilities for hang ing. Room after room is filled with cases of pictures, letters and evidence of incidents in the camp; the walls are cov ered with enlargements of photographs, of official docu ments and statistics. Faint Odor A faint sweet odor - dread ful after 18 years, still pre vades the building. The writ ten request to be quiet seems scarcely nccesary. A group of school children was being herded in as we left. We were told that Ger man children must take the trip yearly. Outside the wire enclosure Is a refuge camp where the families of the prisoners now live. In fairness to the German people. It should be known that great secrecy surrounded the camp at Dachau; from the beginning until the end in 1945, as it was with the other equally insanely criminal ex termination centers. For 12 years not even those who lived nearby could pervade the fog of horror. Then It was denied, or mini mized as mere Allied war propaganda. Art Gallery on the Plaza, has announced that she will re sume operation of the gallery and art classes. Mr. Briggs has been an English instructor at Southern Oregon college. On the tour the couple trav eled to Scotland, England, France, Italy and Spain.
