Park vucutioner
Travel Continues
AtAII-Time Hiqh

Glacier national park travel con-
tinued at an all-time high with
the visitor total early Thursday
passing the 10000 mark for the
travel year compared with 100000
on the same day a year ago.
Total entries to the park We'd
nesday were $50 persons includ-
ing 3,148 as first entries. First en-
tries for the same day a year ago
were 2,347, according to informa-
ton from the office of Supt. J. w.
Emmert.
Increased visitor attraction of
Glacier points the way for the ma
tional park service to provide adj
ditional campground space, and
there is financial encouragement
for the construction of more cabin
camp facilities. In spite of its re-
cord year, the 100000 acre second
largest national park in the country
so far has avoided the damned"
look.
Virtually all the LOO miles of
trail in the alpine park are now
open with both hiker and horse
back travel now going over such
passes as Gunsight. Only major
pass still snow blocked is Boulder.
Reports of more mountain goats
than year ago have come from
the Sperry glacier-Sperry chalets
section and Mt. Brown where "a
were observed within camera dis
lance at one time.

l hope she will do it without hav.
ing to 60 through too long a per-
iod of deep anguish and suffering:
but if she cannot face reality
without more agony then the great
laws of Evolution will put her
through the fire of publication.
But make no mistake about one
thing. There are a great many
people in England of all groups
who do see and who are wishing
those in authority could be made
to recognize the cold fact that
more realistic measures must be
taken.
Some of these express their con.
victions somewhat vehemently.
The suggestion often violently ex.
pressed that they would have been
better had no dollars been made
available may have solid reason
and good judgment behind it, but
it would have meant desperate
days with unemployment and all
its accompanying ills. and those
who felt even that the better part
of wisdom did not prevail.
Naturally. the government thar
came in on promises of shorter
hours, higher pay, with a fan
tastic program of social security
and physical care, cannot be ex.
pected to retreat in any large
measure. But there is q lot of
thinking going on in England

being waged, and some time before

this government will be out. II
may not happen in this election,
but it is most certainly on the
cards.
Why? Because every individual
and every nation the world over
knows deep within his own soul
that hard work and harder work
and harder work still is the road.
When the people of England see
this quite clearly it will happen
and the whole world will be the
richer for their anguish, their grit
and their vision.
