structed by the national park service.

tors descending the canyon by the
new Kaibab trail Will be transported

scenic trail in the canyon as it winds
its way down the walls along a ridge

magnificent views Of the canyon may
be mad both to The east and the west.
The present trails follow depressions
and the views are hemmed in by the
ridges on either side, the interior de-
partment announces.
The trail from Yaqui point to the
Tonic plateau where it connects with
the tip-off to the suspension bridge is
entirely new construction and is lad
out on safe easy grades.
Improvement Of the Kaibab trail

north rim is also contemplated. 1t is
expected the entire improvement of
the trail viii be completed in time to
permit rim-to-rim travel over good
safe trail this summer.

DOCTOR REMOVES
WATCH SWALLOWED
By GLOBE YOUTH

Clyde Bracco, 13-year-old school
boy of Globe, swallowed a watch,
the size Of silver dollar, on the
grounds of the Globe high school.
The watch lodged just behind the
upper part of the breast bone. At
tending physicians could not locate
It until X-ray pictures had been
taken.
All available medical instruments
proved futile in their attempts to
reach the foreign body and remove
it.
"Did you have a good lunch 2"
the doctor asked.
you bet | did" the boy replied.
With the aid Of medicine the
youth vomited the watch.
There's the darn thing now,"
he said with a smile
The watch was removed from
the body less than two hours after
it had been swallowed. The boy
said he was sucking on it when he
was Jostled in crowd on the
school grounds.
