National Parks
Eighth
In a Series

Olympic National park. Occupying
the heart of a great peninsula, this
park is surrounded on three sides
by water, the Pacific ocean on the
west, the Straits of Juan de Fuca
to the north and Puget sound on
the east. Within a few hours OF
Seattle and Tacoma are virgin for
ests, alpine meadows, deep blue
lakes and sparkling trout streams,
which constitute one of the finest un-
spoiled wilderness areas in the Unit
ed States.
The rain forests are found in
the lower valleys on the west
ern slopes where from Septem-
bers1 to June / there is an aver
age annual rainfall of 142 inches,
nearly IL feet. In these rain
forests are Douglas frs, meas
.uring up to II feet in diameter
and 221 feet in height.
There are many miles of foot and
horseback trails in Olympic Ma
tional park and motor highway en-
circles the peninsula. From this
main highway other roads radiate
for short distances into the park.
IN THE CORNER of Colorado
where the Rocky mountains meet
the arid highlands of the Southwest
there rises high fat-topped table
shaped mountain. Early Spanish
explorers called it the Mesa Verde,
for the table top, heavily forested
with pinon and juniper, was always
green. On this green mesa and in
it's caves and canyons peaceful
farming Indians lived for 1890
years, cultivating the soil and built
their villages or pueblos. To preserve
the ruins of these fascinating viii
lagos, Mesa Verde National park
has been established. The area OF
the park is 80 square miles.
According to psychologists the In
dians came to America from their
Asiatic homeland by the northern
route thousands of years ago and
for many centuries lived as rowing
hunters. About the beginning OF the
Christian Era certain Of early hunt
ers arrived in the region of the Mesa
Verde. They liked the security af.
forded by this high mountain with
it's peculiar cliffs, and settled down
to farm. First inhabitants Of the
Mesa Verde were known as Basket
Makers for, while they made excel.

Clothes"
Take the most successful person
you know, the one with the most ef-

person serene person?
Some men and women tell me that
they are nervous because they were
born nervous. I think the man who
had the most calmness and serenity

nor did they use the bow and ar
row. They lived in open caves and
hunted with the throwing stick. Lat
er they learned the art Of pottery
making, acquired bows and ar
rows and built simple pit houses.
About the time that Charles Mar
tel was defeating the Moors at
Tours, or roughly in the Eighth
century, a new people joined the
Basket Makers on the Mesa Verde
and together they made remark
able cultural progress. On the mesa
top they built hundreds Of villages,
some with buildings of mud and
others Of stone. They improved
their pottery and began the weav-
ing Of cotton cloth.
These people apparently were
peace loving, and In the 1lth
century about the time that Will
liam the Conqueror was land
ing in Britain, they also were
beset by enemies. Many Of
them, therefore, moved off the
open mesa top and constructed
their villages in inaccessible
caves located high in canyon
walls. These villages, many Of
them well preserved today, are
astonishing both for their size
and excellence Of building tech
niques.
Toward the end of the 18th CEN
tury, a 24-year-long drouth forced
these people to abandon their cliff
cities and move to more favorable
lands.

Disaster In England Recalls Tragedies
Of Other Years To Laurel Man Who Lived There

Of special interest to a Laurel
resident, Walter Armstrong, was the
news of the mine disaster at White
haven, England, his birthplace. The
explosion Friday which entombed III
miners and occurred in one of the
oldest underwater mines in England,
is described as follows by Mr.. Arm
strong:
l recall as a boy sitting on a near
by hill and looking down upon the
William pit at Whitehaven, n time
when its headgear was on fire. This
is a derrick-like structure similar to
cur oil derricks, but which has two
huge wheels mounted in the top
over which pass cables for raising
and lowering the cages that carry
coal and men out of the mine.
These mines are built at the
waters edge and have some work
ings which run seven miles out
under al arm of the Irish sea on
England's northwest coast. There
are several such mines at White
haven. However, they all work the
coal seams and are practically one
mine, since it is possible to go
down n mine and, after walking
a considerable distance, come up in
a mine near by, or one five miles
away.
The mines are very old and many
shafts have been abandoned, so even
veteran miners do not know the ex-
tent of the mines.
Near the scene of the present dis
aster is the mine known as the
Wellington pit-probably named
after the Duke of Wellington in
Napoleonic days. In 1910 Yelling
ton pit had an explosion which
killed 136 men. My Dad and two of
brothers worked in this mine.
some strange intuition my moth
err pleaded with Dad not to go to
work that day, as if afraid some-i
thing was going to happen. He did
go, and was saved from the
event which took the lives Of
MS two brothers.
