MODEL RAILWAY
OWNED BY CLUB
TRAINS TRAVEL DISTANCE OF
$3.50 FEET FROM START
TO END OF LINE

Middletown. n. Y, Dec. 24-UP
1t would be a timely Christmas
gift. and any lads eyes would be
frightened by one OF the most ella
borate miniature railroad systems
in the country.
The miniature railroad, named
for the New York, Ontario & West
ern Railway, is controlled by
dozen or more switches. The trains
travel over interwinding trackage
that would equal % miles OF the
actual railroad system. The model
was built by the Middletown Model
Railroad Club on a scale OF one
fourth inch to one foot, which
means that the trains travel a
distance OF approximately $3.50
feet from the start to the end OF
the line.
The club owns eight miniature
locomotives. $50 freight cars, and
"a passenger cars. On the inter
locking lines over a flat terrain,
on uplands and mountains, the
club members constructed a score
OF administrations freight
houses. signal towers, coal peck
cts. railroad shops and water tow
ers.
Ties Made by Hand
The track was purchased. but the
thousands OF miniature railroad
ties used in the construction were
cut from cheese boxes, one by one,
by the club members.
The rails are fastened to the ties
by spikes made to scale. Every
tenth tie is longer and supports
the third rail- which furnishes tho
power to the locomotives.
August Smell, former grocer, and
Official Of the miniature railroad,
said the power used for one $50
watt bulb operates the entire sys-
tenn with five trains at full speed
Four thousand feet of electrical
wiring give the system operators
control OF the movement OF every
train on the road-forward or back
ward, over any switch, and. into Of
out of an elaborate railroad yard
with its adjacent car shops, locomo-
tive roundhouse and turntable. The
roundh0hse accommodates FIVE of
the tiny locomotives.
Six Operators Needed
Six skilled men, the complete
club membership, in other words,
are required to work the system at
its present capacity OF transporta-
ton. Automatic block signals were
installed to prevent train collisions
should the operators turn the
wrong switch.
Smell said plans are being made
to handle 10 trains on the track at
one time. There are tunnels.
bridges, trestles, overpasses and
underpasses. and one-third OF the
trackage is in tunnels.
The miniature railroad is hous-
ed in room rented by the club.
The first track level is on a large
platform 40 inches above the club
room floor. There is a second and
higher level, and lastly miniature
mountains for the third level.
Ordinary window screening, COW
cred with sand and plaster and
then sized and painted, provided
the second two levels and the
grades reaching them. The To-
track central yard and the shops
and roundhouse are on the first
level.
The locomotive. freight and pas
enger cars were purchased in parts
and assembled by club members.
The locomotives averaged SIS
each. Passenger cars $40 each and
freight cars IS each.

Beginning of Glacier
National Park
by Mrs. Percy Nash)

l thought it appropriate as we
pass in review many aspects OF our
American heritage that we look upon
our own Glacier National Park-its
institution and parts of its history.
For much Of my material 1 ami in.
debted to James Willard Schultz.
one of tie Oldest pioneer residents
Of our community whom. am sure
you all are well acquainted with
though must admit l myself had
not met him until seeking this inter.
view.
Mr.. Schultz and DR.. George Bird
Grinnell made several hunting and
pleasurable exploring trips through
that part of the Rocky Mountain
territory which we now designate as
Glacier Park. This was as early as
1885. 1t wac little more than al
scenic wilderness at that time with
rude trails where oil. paved highways
now make travelling much more con.
yenient. Also then no one had the
remotest idea Of a park ever being
created from what our grandfathers
perhaps considered pretty good
hunting grounds.
On many Of these excursions
through the mountions. occurred in
cidents which would prompt Mr..
Schultz to christen some mountain,
lake, or other landmark. II was by
just such informal events as the fol-
lowing that many Of the mountains
got names by which we known the m
today.
AS MIR. Schultz and Jack Monroe
and Dr.Grinnell we're on one of their
many trips through this county.
they met lieutenant of the United
States army and party of men who
were engaged in surveying and other
governmental work. The two par
ties met at about the spit where
Many Glacier Hotel stands today.
While they stopped to compars notes
and. incidentally, to have a few
drinks for refreshment and good
comradeship-Schultz pointed TO a
distant glacier saying that it should
be called Many Glacier.
This incident occurred in 1886.
By similar events Goat Mountain
was named for i: was there that the
aforementioned party killed large
mountain goat; Big Horn Mountain
marked the place where several big
horn mountain sheep were killed
Mr.. Schultz named one mountain
Red Eagle after the uncle of his In
dian wife.
After many such trips through
this section of the Rockies with Mr..
Schultz; DR.. Grinnell. after he re-
turned to hiI home in New York
City wrote book called Grown of
the Contiuental' meaning the divi-
sion of the waters in which he told
of his many experiences in the
mountains and referred tothe noun.
tains by names as have been men
toned.
According to Mr.. Schultz. DR..
George Bird GrinnelI could be fit
tingly called the father of Glacier
Park as he 80 kindly sponsored back
east the idea Of a national play
ground here in the mountains.
Theodore Roosevelt, the great con-
servationist and president at the
time, was receptive to such a splen-
did scheme. Other congressman
aided in getting it through the ma
tional Legislature.
10 1896 the land was purchased
from the Blackfeet; and gradually
the Park emerged as we are all
able to enjoy it today. And it re-
mains today tribute to democra-
tic cooperativeness and to America.

It may not be libelous ut the

but it strikes us as being about
the most insulting "non-libelous"

addressed to an American citizen!

as a political party

The decision in question shows
how extremely careful Americans
are to preserve the democratic
rights which individuals and
minority groups in this country
enjoy. In the case of the Com
munists. indeed, we lean over
backwards to insure protection
for an organization that has no
respect for and no understanding
of the very principles which
make its continued existence
here possible.

strongly against this move. With
the European situation changing
from day to day, and hour to hour,
at any time an emergency may
arise which will call for immediate
action which the President
is not permitted to take without
the sanction of Congress. 1t has
been suggested that just before
Congress adjourn they pass a
blanket resolution, comforting dis
cetionary powers on the President,
then as emergencies arise. with
Congress away, the President
could take such action as he wish
es. This move would be a path
toward expansion of Presidential
power toward one-man govern
ment, and we do not want that.
Republicans have taken a strong
stand against adjournment, and on
the Democratic side opposition to
adjournment is growing, although
the Administration probably still
has the votes to force it if neces-
sary. It is not thought, however,
that the Administration will press
the issue. This being election year,
many members of the House and
Senate are thinking partly, of
course, of the exigencies of cam
paign year and of the Importance
of getting reelected. However, a
great deal of time yet remains for
campaigning and voters would
surely appreciate the loyalty of a
congressman who stuck usefully to
his post and would surely reward
him as against rival for his job.
Rather than seek a hasty adjourn
ment for political convenience,
Congress will do well to stay in
session and to give the Nation the
reinsurance of its presence in
Washington for any emergency.

DEFENSE TAX BILL

DEFENSE TAX BILL - On
Tuesday of last week, by its over
whelming vote passing the Admin
istration's emergency tax bill, the
House performed the extraordinary
feat in an election year of increas-
ing not only taxes, but also the
number of taxpayers. The House
devoted seven hours to debate on
the bill, which under stringent
gag rule" could be amended only
by the Ways and Means Commit
tee. The Committee offered no
changes and the bill now goes to
where hearings are scheduled to
start Immediately, and Senate Ma
jority Leader Barkley said he hop
ed the measure could be reported
out and brought before the Senate
not later than Monday. The new
tax bill is designed to raise ST.
600, ,0000, 900 annually for the next
five years to pay for this years de-
fense program. Individual income
taxes alone are expected to yield
an additional 100000 a year,
while over 100000 new persons
will be added to the tax rolls. In
addition to boosting taxes the mea-
sure authorizes an increase in the
present S45, 100000, 1000 debt limit
TO S49,0OO,O0O0,OOO through issu-
ance of 81, 900, ,0O0, 900 of securities,
maturing within five years to be
known as the National Defense
Series. About two-thirds of the
estimated new revenue, including
the excises and a 10 per cent su-
pertax-is projected for five years
only, but most of the increases on
corporation and individual incomes
are written as permanent changes
in the tax law.

two to one. sweeping amendments
to the Wagner Act. However,
these amendments were said by in
