No Increase In
Park Entrance Fee

PARK HEADQUARTERS. G. N
P, June 24.-"The automobile IL
cense fee for admission to Glacier
National Park has not been changed
it is still $780," Superintendent D
S. Libbey said today, correcting
misconception which had arisen from
recent error in privately published
literature.
He added that no additional
charge is made for fishing privileges,
since no fishing license is required
in the park. The automobile fee,
paid upon entrance, enables the re-
admission of the same car as often
as desired for the remainder of the
season. no matter who drives it.
THE fee is established by the Sec
rotary of the Interior the Super
said, lin the belief that
a part of the cost of maintaining a
great National Park should be borne
specifically by those people who use
it."

accidents occur at night Let us
consider a partial explanation of
this.
The pupil Of the eye contracts
quickly to shut out excessive light,
but expands more slowly to admit
more light. When you strike a
match in the dark, the contraction
to keep out the light is sixty times
faster than the contraction after the
match is blown out If you are driv-
ing at night it takes 1/16 of sec
and for your eyes to contract in
order to keep out the glare of an
undimmed car, whereas, it requires
ga seconds for the expansion to
give you clear vision.
Bear in mind also, that a car
travels one and one third times as
many feet per second as it goes
miles per hour. If you travel 40
miles per hour, you 60 go feet in
one second Of time. Thus at the
rate of 40 miles, after passing car,
you are partially blinded for dis
lance of about 220 feet. The road
and objects ahead will not be clear
and distinct At so miles an hour
that danger zone will be $50 feet.
The lesson should be obvious to
every one. Whenever an approach
ing car fails to dim its lights, check
the speed of your vehicle, without
fail Don't incur the risk above re-
ferred to. Secondly, do your driv-
ing by the light of the sun, except

Beavers Are
Remarkable Builders

Everyone knows that beavers
build dams and are clever engineers.
A Wisconsin hunter, Ira G.. Smith.
tells of an astounding construction
feat of these industrious animals.
Smith was sitting near a deer
runway which crossed a small river
just below beaver dam. Curious
to see the animals at work, he pull
ed out section of the dam. In his
own words:
In about 20 minutes | saw some
ripples in the water and a beaver
stuck out his head for a few sec
onds. A little later this was re-
peated In about minutes it came
up again, much closer to the dam,
and then came out of the water to
look things over Crawling up on
the dam, the beaver nosed around
the break, passed through it several
times, then disappeared. Several
minutes later, several beavers APP
peared right above the dam. They
all disappeared and soon the water
just above the break began to boil
and there seemed to be much ac-
tivity at that point
Finally three beavers began to
back up the dam, seemingly pulling
something very heavy. When they
got far enough out of the water
for me to see what they were pull
ing, couldn't believe my eyes. They
were towing another beaver by the
tall That beaver was on its back,
holding in its feet a stone that
must have weighed not less than so
pounds! When they got it onto
the dam break, the beaver holding
the stone rolled it off into the open
ing. Then they all got busy filling
in the break with brush, sticks and
mud The job took 20 minutes.
Later inspected the repair. Ex-
cept for the wet mud, it looked as
sound as it had before the break. =

what confusing. One printed adj
vertises beauty contest to choose
Miss Delaware for Atlantic City
makes no mention of August 8th;
the other, a masterpiece, hand let
tered speaks only of the contest at
Lake Como. Why don't they get
together? Will Smyrna's choice
get chance to be Miss Delaware
or not? Also, it seems, many of
the girls who should enter are be-
ing shy about it. They seem to
feel that it wouldn't look well-but
after all isn't that being a little
too modest, girls? The Town

Last Thursday afternoon, a
pigeon flew quietly into a top win
dow of the Century Club House,
and nearly dropped dead with
amazement. Directly below him
were two people on their hands
and knees scrubbing the floor. He
started for the balcony but turned
away quickly when he saw several
more humans dusting all the
chairs. "Ah, the stage" he
thought, surely I can rest there
moment" And indeed, as he flew
toward the stage, he saw before
him tall tree and hills of rolling
green and gold towards the hori-
zon. ''The promised land", breath
ed the pigeon under his breath
but suddenly laughter rose from
the stage and the pigeon put on
his air brakes and lowered curious
ly in mid-air. There were people
on step-ladders fixing ropes and
dabbing hills and blue skies onto
a curtain. The pigeon turned dis
consolatly and skinned out the
same window he had entered by
"Ah, me-" he sighed.

THE LITTLE THEATRE PLAYS
Review of the First Performance
of Newly Organized Drama Group

OF newly ORGANIZED DTdInd GTOup
The two o1e-act plays presented
by the Smyrna Little Theatre last
Friday night were enthusiastically
received by over 130 guests, in
spite of the expressing heat that
evening. The properties commit
tee secured the use of several
electric fans. and in addition, dis
tributed paper fans to many of the
guests. The rooms at the Twen-
tieth Century Club House were
decorated with flowers and greens,
and a large Coco-Cola machine
was installed in the hallway, fer
the convenience of thirsty guests.
Downstairs, the dressing room
committee had made miraculous
changes, with lights, dressing tab
les, wardrobe, curtains, mirrors
and chairs. One member of the
committee brought large ther-
mos of ice water for the actors.
Before the performances and dur
ing acts, music was provided by a
recorder, loaned for the night. The
enthusiasm and hard work of the
various committees behind the
scenes were equally as important
as the actors themselves in max
ing the first performance of the
Little Theatre the success that it
was.
The first play, Spreading the
News" by Lady Gregory, was par
ticularly commendabIe for the
back-drop, designed and painted
by members of the group. 1t was
the scene of an Irish country fair,
with rolling hills, tree, two gaily
striped tents, and white clouds.
The costumes and makeup of the
actors were without flaw, even to
the red wig and old mans wig,
which are difficult to wear in any
respect. AS to the performance of
the cast, little more can be said
than, as whole, it was exception
ally well done. Special honors
should go to Mr.. Paul Comegys, as
director of the play, and as doing
an experienced piece of work in his
portrayal of BARLEY Fallon, the
Irish pessimist.
The second play on the program,
"Sparkin' by E. p. Conkle, if
judged by the daughter of the
audience, had more appeal than
the first play. The actors gave a
realistic portrayal of simple coun-
try folks in the Middle West. Mrs.
Mildred Bodley, as the testy but
lovable Granny, played her role
humoursly and with understanding
sympathy. The mixing of bread
dough on the stage lent to the
realism of the play. The costumes,
especially Granny's nightdress and
cap, were well gotten UP.
Mr.. Edgar T. Heinold gave a
humorous skit between the two
performances.
A reception was held after the
last curtain call, at which time
punch and cookies were served
free of charge to the guests. Small
groups gathered throughout the
house to discuss the plays and the
players. The hospitality Commit
tee had as its chairman, Mrs.
George Scout, assisted by Mrs.
Kennard Price, Mrs. Theodore
Hynson, Mrs. Charles King, Mrs.
Henry c. Webb, and Miss Kathleen
Michaelis, of Middletown. The ush-
ers were Elizabeth Phillips, Estelle
Edmondson, Marianne Webb and
Calhe Diacumakos. Mr.. Speakman
was general chairman.
