1T looks like q choice between
husband and my parents" Irene
declares.
I'm an only child, age %, living
with my parents but self-support-
ing. My parents set their hearts
on my marrying young man to
whom they introduced me. I went
with him for a year, then dropped
him. I wouldn't marry him on a
bet. To tell the truth, don't
think he would be interested in
marrying me. either.
MY parents made a terrible
fuss when I quit going with him.
Then I met the young man whom
I now want to wed. He came to
work where I am employed. We
clicked from the first. In month
we knew we would marry even
tually. That was six months ago,
and we now want to set the date.
my parents say they will dis
own me if I marry him. That
wouldn't be expensive, if you take
| it literally, because I don't expect
Ito inherit any money from them.
I'm not asking anything from
them. But they will blot me out
of their lives, they claim. AS the
song saws they'll turn nv picture
to the wall.
'"They can't say anything
against my fiance. They object to
his racial background. Actually,
wonder whether they don't OBJ
fject mainly to the fact that they
can't dictate. Yet can't help
wondering whether I ought to cut
myself off from my own father
and mother. Won't I feel, in the
future, that I have paid too high
a price for my independence-or
for my husband? On the other
hand, if I let them take away
from me the man I love, won't I
feel hostile to them all the rest Of
my life? What can I do? It all
seems so hopeless!"
You are old enough to live your
own life, Irene. If you let your
parents dictate to you in this
matter, you will certainly feel an
the rest of your life that you paid
too high a price for your lack of
independence.
Many girl has faced similar
difficulty and come through alive.
II you're certain that you're right,
go ahead-but leave the door
open for them. When the wedding
approaches, you'll probably find
that mamma doesn't want to be
left out of the picture. See that
she gets right into the foreground
at that time.
If they boycott the wedding,
they usually come around on the
birth of the first child-their
only grandchild.
It is rarely. indeed, that par
ents hold out until death! If they
do, you can only pity them as
mental cases" and live your life
without them.
| @. Is it necessary that husband
and wife have the same religion?

Few Hardin residents are
aware that less. than so miles
from the city there exists a land
that is still almost as primitive
as it was, when Captain Bonnie
vile viewed it for the, first time
away back in the summer of
1888 and described it as a. re-
gion beautiful beyond descrin-;
ton, yet a place where an,
trails lead around but none
through. ~ i
This vast region of wilderness
stretches for miles along the
Montana wyoming border be-
tween two high mountain
ranges-the Pryors and. Big
Horns. .'.
Here the Big Horn river,
through the ages, has carved a
chasm of colossal maenitude as.
it forces its way through solid.
rock. The canyon is ,ablaze with.
color-its massive walls of yell
low, vermillion and pink are a
sight never to be forgotten.
But for all its beauty it has re-
manned a Land of mysteryto an
but a handful of explorers who
have dared to penetrate its
DEPTHS. ~
For centuries its perpendicu-
lar walls and roaring rapids
have defied adventurers even
to the extent of claiming their
lives, even Stunned by the In
dians who believe it to be the
home of evil spirits, from the
strange and unaccountable
noises that emerge from the
canyon. -
The most recent adventures
to attempt the trip were Word
King, Jr., Thorton Cougill and
Bill Greene of ,Greybull. Wyo.
and Don Weaver and William
Roberts of Frannie, Wyo. Coug-
i'll and Greene acted as guides
for the expedition, having had
previous experiences in the can

Using specially constructed,
all enclosed boats patterned
after boats which had run the
rapids of the Grand Canyon Of
the Colorado with success, and
generously supplied with extra
oars, ropes and life belts, they
departed from Greybun, ready
for the worst. n
They emerged from the can
yon on AUGUST z, after 10 days
of battle with the elements in
boats that showed damage from
contact with Jagged rocks. De-
spite the hardships. the adj
venturers described it as a great

was extremely arduous, that
