coaching.

Lowell Thomas Likes FIathead Valley

The Flathead received a glowing
description at the end of Lowell
Thomas Monday, $50 pm. broad
cast over the CHS network.
The famed commentator, world
traveller and author along with
Mrs. Thomas stopped over on his
trip to the West Coast to see Mr..
and Mrs. Toni Matt.
The Flathead each summer has
a movie star visitor or two, but
there seems so much more to
Lowell Thomas. He wrote his
Lawrence of Arabia" book 80
years ago and then followed an
other 40 books. Through the years
he has become likely the most
durable and certainly respected of
commentators. Frank Carter, local
stockman, aptly described it as

think of him as relation"
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas stayed on
Big Mountain Saturday night.
He terms skiing as the most re-
taxing sport. when one plays golf
or fishes, there's always the chance
that someone will start talking
about business. When you ski,
there's complete absorption in the
sport"
Thomas referred to Toni Matt in
terms of being the best known
American skier Thomas has seen
the famed Tuckerman's ravine in
New Hampshire. Matt is. the only
skier to have traversed this stretch
- The friendship between the two
men goes back to about 1898 when
Matt came to the United States
after being Austrian junior SKI
champion. Then followed the win
ming of seven national ski awards
in this country.

of what he had seen in his brie1
stay here. Matt had taken him tt
Lake Mcdonald, Hungry Horse
Dam, and the new Anaconda Al
minimum Co. plant. The man whom
we think of as world adventure
was impressed, and it reflected IL
his broadcast.
When he left Whitefish aboart
the Empire Builder Sunday eve,

He should see F1athead lake ant
