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.

"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. U.S.

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. Both
in Florence, Italy and Salford,
England the Briggs visited
with Charles Forrester, for
mer Ashland sculptor, and his
family, who had taken up res
idence in both cities.
The travelers spent most of
their time in Spain from
from where they made a trip
to the Canary islands. They
considered the most unusual
part of their trip a visit to
Stromboli of fsouthern Italy.
They took colored slides pri
marily of art and architecture
in each region.
Mrs. Briggs has stated that
she will offer the art classes
as a part of a cultural service
to the vicinity and added that
the enthusiasm and original
ity shown by students in last
summer's sessions has prompt
ed her to enrich the original
program.
The art classes will be held
once a week for seven weeks
between July 22 and Septem
ber coinciding with the Ore
gon Shakespearean festival.
Classes will be held from 1:30
