Williams, former editor of the Niagara
Falls Gazette" and lifelong resident, re-
members when that famous scenery was con-
siderably harder to see. Fifty years ago, the
joke about the honeymoon couple who visited
Niagara but never saw the Falls had its origin
in sorrowful fact. The roaring basin was
trimmed with sideshows, freak exhibitions
and barkers' gates. BY the time two suscep-
tible young people had made their way to the
edge, they were likely to have spent all but
the price of their tickets home And as they
stood arm in arm admiring the magnificent
natural spectacle, that sum, too, might vanish
into the hands of the pickpockets who
swarmed in the crowd
During the last Is years, energetic from

replaced by the Niagara Frontier State Parks
on one side and Queen Victoria Park on the
other. Today along the Falls edge there are
miles of quiet greenery. planted in native
wildflowers and criss-crossed with narrow
gavel-bedded footpaths. The sole CONNER

parte, lodging the displeasure of his imperial
brother, honeymooned there with the beau
teous but non-royal Elizabeth Patterson of
Baltimore. This romantic union was tremen-
dously popular in America and within dec
of the Falls was doing booming business.
By 1925 the railroads were running wedding
belf' specials to its doors.
A large segment of Niagara's honeymoon
ers still arrive in town via the ancient railroad
station, but autos and overnight buses carry
the bulk of todays streamlined honeymoon
traffic. At the turn of the century, Grandpa
wrote for reservations for at least two weeks,
thought nothing of wiring the boss later for an
extension. The swifter tempo of modern
living has reduced most wedding trips to
three or four days.
Probably the briefest wedding trip on rec
ord is that of Teterboro. N. j., stunt pilot

leave. His bride wistfully wished for honey
MOON whereupon he helped her into the cock
pit and the two took off for the Canadian bor-
der. Whizzing past Niagara, he circled the
gorge, looped his tiny plane beneath the span
of the famous Honeymoon Bridge then flew
back home.
The Falls Are Disappearing
NEARLY everyone at the Falls carries a
camera, but those wedding-trip snapshots
never look alike. No one has ever succeeded in
taking two identical pictures of the mighty
Niagara - there is always chunk of rock
falling off here, or an island popping up there.
The Falls themselves, on the American side,
are retreating upriver at the rate of 4.8 feet
yearly and are becoming somewhat U-shaped
in the process. Thirty thousand years ago,
the Falls cascaded down a high bank still
visible at Lewiston. Since then, the Falls
have moved seven miles upstream.
Although local tradesmen face the prospect
with equanimity. it is apparent to geologists
that what Charles Dickens once called I'm
mortal Niagara" will, by the year %, 900 AID,
be just series of not very interesting rapids.
The pool below is already filled with tumbled
boulders and in the spring, parties of men and
women scientists, armed with little hammers,
arrive from nearby universities. Their mission
is to study rock strata. but often they've proved
helpless before the romantic spirit of the
place and are observed pairing off and wan
dering moonily hand in hand through the
gorge. Not few get married on the spot.
Niagara Falls, N. Y, population 10000 is

MET(ALF NOT TO BLAME ON DELAY
 OF FERRY RAMPS

Territorial Engineer Frank A. Met calf today explained why his office has not been able to begin work on the construction of proposed auto ramps at Tee Harbor and Haines for the use of ferry service between those points.
 Metcalf said that the money for this purpose has been reserved for some time but he cannot go ahead until permission is received from the U. s. Army Engineers who have authority over all shoreline con- struction on inland waters.
 Permission was requested in April, said Metcalf, but the law requires a period of time for others to enter ob- jections to a project and this period will not expire until July 26. After that. it will take another three to five weeks for permit to be granted followed by another three weeks to advertise for bids on the work.
 Metcalf said that he is desirous cf seeing the project completed as soon as possible but his hands are tied temporarily.

SAFETY AT TRACK E
 RIGIDLY OBSERVED
 AT NATIONAL RACE
Entries and Spectators Are S1hoo|ed in Safety
 Precautions
M A 5 $ D V E
By RAY SCHIEB

Safety is the watchword at the local and national races of the All American Soap Box Derby.
 Though the well-planned Derby race is one Of the most colorful events of the summer, providing thrills for the boy participants and. spectators alike, the thrills always are subordinated to saf- ety.
 To make doubly certain of the safety of the race, both the boys who compete in the race and the spectators who watch from the grandstand or other vantage points must know and abide by the regu- lations laid down in the interests of safe race
 The cardinal rule is that ev- eryone except the boys who are driving their racing cars must keep eff the track.
 Most race courses are enclosed by fencing, or are roped off. But complete success of the keep off the track" rule must depend on 1 the cooperation of the specta- tors, and of the boy drivers who are temporarily out of their cars. The most crucial time is during ,l,o t, of the afternoons racing, when the excitement of picking city or na- tional champion is greatest. At this time spectators seem almost 1 impelled to run on to the track to see the new champion, or to follow the winning boys car down the hill. Such temptations must be curbed, by tk5 police if neces-

sary, in the interests of safety To permit spectators on the track at that time is to run the risk oi delaying the race or endangering the success of the entire program
 Spectators also are urged not to try to crowd the judges stands or starting ramp, or to climb trees or poles to gain special vantage points. Track officials ask, too, that spectators refrain from crowd ing the racing cars after they come to a full stop in the space devoted to that purpose below the finish line.
 If you are an amateur photo- grapher you will find plenty of grist for your photographic mill. But obey the rules and do not step on the track. A spot near the finish line inside the fence is just as good place for your lens.
 The boy contestants themselves all are thoroughly schooled in the safety rules and almost universally obey them Adults who watch the race should set them a good ex- ample by abiding by all the rules, and seeing that children with them do the same.
