Ellsworth Kolb to Lecture Before
National Geographic Society.

"Braving the Black Canyon in a Can

recent experiences in exploring the
Black Canyon of the Gunnison river, in
Colorado, where he was believed for
sometime to have been lost, were even
more thrilling.
His lecture will be illustrated with

lures showing some of the hardshps
endured and some of the exciting mo-
ments of his remarkable journey
through the network of chasms never
before travelled by man.
