Travellers Notebook
In Which Guest Writes of Black Hills,
Where Nature and History Provide Variety

directly for Mount Rushmore.
This is the trademark of the
Hills-the celebrated landmark
that typifies the Hills to the rest
Of the Nation. Gutzon Borglum,
the sculptor, began the work in
1925, but it went slowly for
awhile because of lack Of funds.
Again it was President Coolidge
who gave the project the push it
needed by making speech there
in 1927.
The four f1gures-of Wash
ington. Jefferson, Lincoln and
Theodore Roosevelt - are not
quite complete. as the late Mr..
Borglum conceived them; but
they're impressive enough as
they stand, and the work is
generally regarded as finished.
Enough so that President Eisen-
hover came out here a couple of
months ago to make the formal
dedication address. after which
he jubilantly caught himself
some trout in the same Custer
State Park Mr.. Coolidge found
so hard to leave.
Blasting Out Indion
Carving mountains is conta-
gious out here. Not far from
Rushmore, at Crazy Horse
Mountain, a burly, bearded
sculptor from Massachusetts,
Korczak ziolkowski, is blasting
out the full figures of an Indian
mounted on a horse. He esti-
mates it will take him about 80
years more. To finance the
enormous quantities of dyna-
mite he uses every day, he let's
visitors pay their way into his
studio and living quarters at
the foot of the mountain, and
twice day they may watch the
blasts that bring his mammoth
work of art a little nearer to
completion.
Pressing farther south will
bring you to Custer State Park,
where you can pitch a tent, park
your trailer or rent a cabin or
a room in the lodge. Here, under
the tender care of Les Price, the
park superintendent, 1000 buff
falo still roam the plains, the
largest herd left in the United
States. Here, through the wind
ing roads of the preserve, you
will see the Black Hills in their
most spectacular beauty. You
will find pioneer ranch houses
down in the gulches, long since
abandoned, and you can pay
your respects, if you wish, at
the graves of scores of pony ex-
press riders, buried here in an
era when they died like flies
from the occupational hazards of
Indians and bandits.
Lying just to the west of the
park is the town of Custer, cele-
brated chiefly for the width of
its main street, which was laid
out to permit an eight-yoke
team of oxen to make complete
turn.
Passion Play to See
The Black Hills Passion Play
is presented three times week
in Spearfish, in the northern end
of the hills. It was brought
here in 1888 by Josef Meier, who
plays the Christus, after he had
toured the country with it for
six years. Before that, the
Meier family had been active in

By Mormon A. Kohl

RAPID CITY, S. Dak.-If
some one were to ask a resident
of the Black Hills to name the
greatest President this country
ever had. he probably would say
Calvin Coolidge.
President Coolidge didn't ex-
actly discover the Hills, but he
let the American tourist know
they existed. Not by anything
he said, of course. Mr.. Coolidge
wasn't what you might call gar
rulous. But he came out here
in the summer of 1927 for a
three-week holiday. and he
stayed for three months. That
was enough to give the Great
American travelling public the
idea that there must be some
thing to these South Dakota
hills.
There is. Tourist traffic has
been growing annually in the 26
years since President Coolidge
rocked on the porch of his cabin
in Custer State Park. Last year
2 million visitors swarmed into
this section and left an esti-
mated $65 million. That was
four times more than the Home
stake, the Nations largest gold
mine. took out of the Black Hills
up at Lead.
Season Being Stretched
Like most Northern resort
areas. the Black Hills must
handle most of the tourist trade
in the summer. But those whose
business it is to make Sightseers
happy are beginning to stretch
the season further into the fall,
when the fish are still biting,
the lakes are still warm and no
one has to battle for a place to
stay.
Nature and history have done
much to provide lavish variety
for the visitor out here. What
ever vacuums might have existed
have been filled in by. the enter
prising and hospitable citizens of
this area.
To keep their guests amused,
they have carved out mountains,
built lakes and set aside vast
tracts as State or Federal pre-
serves. AS the spirit moves you,
you can fish, or swim, or ride, or
just sit; you can wander through
the cragS of the BadlandS, cast
ing about for fossil fragments of
dinosauers; you can spend an
evening at a passion play, or
you can revel discreetly in tabled
Deadwood. where revelry was
once carried on with manly vigor
and six shooters.
The tourist coming from the
East will want to start his holi-
day out here by riding through
the BadlandS. Unless you're a
geologiSt, a day ought to be
enough for this part of your trip.
1t will be a rewarding day,
though, as you drive through the
wasteland, formed by volcanic
activity long before your time
in fact, around 40 million years
ago.
Jumping off Place
Chances are, after the Bad
lands. you'll wind up here in
Rapid City. a clean and friendly
place, with ample accommoda-
tons for tourists. Lying at the
foot of the Black Hills, which
would be called mountains any
other place, Rapid City makes
an excellent jumping-off place
for forays into the Hills them
selves.

French Priest-Physician Says
Family Doctor Tops in Field

SHERBROOKE - (NC) - The
family doctor has earned the No.
/ spot in the field of medicine,
French priest who also is a physi-
clan told members of the French
language Doctors of Canada at their
convention here.
The speaker was Canon Joseph
Geraud, director of the Grand Sem
mary and professor of theology at
Lyon, France. He recently was
named general procurator Of the
Sulpicians at Rome. He came to
Canada this year at the invitation
of His Eminence Paul Emile Card
inal Leger, Archbishop of Mon
treal, who also is a Sulpician, to
conduct retreats for clergy.
The family doctor, Canon Ger
aud said, should have the call over
the specialists. He said there is q
danger of building up imaginary
ailments when . person runs 10
specialist everyfims he feels i'll.
Such practices, he said, also refsrd
the specialist who cannot find time
for his duties when his office is
eluftered up with false patients"
Canon Geraud expressed the
hope that the day never will come
when the family doctor becomes
rarity.
When Father Geraud was ordain-
ed in 1929, he was invited by his
superiors to continue medical stud
les which he had started prior to
entering the seminary. He receiv-
ed his medical diploma in 1943 and
a few years later was awarded de-
grees in occupational medicine and
in psychosis. He comes from a.
medical family - his father and
brother are physicians.
