enne, Wyoming route. Here on Sun
day. July 31st we visited through
the Black HILL region to Mt. Rush
more and in the evening took in
the Passion Play, staying overnight
at the home of Mrs. Rolly Carlson
who plays a part in the mob scene
in the famous, dramatic and serene
portrayal of the last seven days of
the life of Christus, portrayed by
world famous Josef Meier whose
family for generations have par
ticipated in the dramatic produc-
ton of the play Meier is from
Westphalia, Germany.
We left Spearfish, the following
morning and returned to Dead
wood, So. Dakota where we had
breakfast and visited in the his
toric old town of Wild Bill Hickok
and Calamity Jane. We followed
the historic old trail and talked
with aged L. r. Bedsaul, whose
late wife had attended the funeral
Of Calamity Jane, and had had an
only photo taken at her burial
from which reproductions have
been made for tourists interest.
Enroute to Mitchell, So. OAK,
home of the worlds only Corn
Palace whose exterior is artistic
beauty done entirely of grain and
corn from that section. We visited
first in the desert sandstone hills
of the BadlandS, which were much
similar to the Badlands of North
Dakota but a wider range.
The Russian agricultural delega-
ton now on tour of the vast grain
farms of the western and central
states visited the Corn Palace on
Tuesday, August 2, the day after
our arrival and we learned that
they showed a fondness for the
Indian lore sold az the concession
stands within the palace and pur-
chaed numerous trinkets and beads
and Indianware to take back to
their Russian homes.
We especially enjoyed the gold
mines, oil wells and Sawmills in
action as well as the huge combines
used on the vast farms of the
western states as we rode the Ore
g0n trail.
On our weekend journey home
ward bound we especially enjoyed
the visit with G. l.. Schonlau, pub

Winter Driving Tips
She stresses these six tips for
safe winter driving:
/. Accept your responsibility
Don't blame the weatherman
Winterize your car. yourself and
your driving.
2. Use good tires and tire
chains. Whether you use regu-
lar tires or snow tires, be sure
the tread is in good condition
Use reinforced tire chains on
snow and ice. Slower than
normal speeds are always a must
on snow and ice, even with the
help of tire chains.
8. Keep your windshield and
windows clear.
4. Get the feel Of the road.
Try your brakes occasionally
while driving slowly, and away
from traffic. Find out just how
slippery the road is and adjust
your speed to road and weather
condition. You can't stop on
an icy dime.

Ice? Don't Skid Yourself, ,
Girl Driving Expert Says

A diminutive woman test
driver, who has rushed through
life with the greatest of speed.
has some winter safety tips for
area motorists.
Betty Shelton, 20, who prob
ably is the only woman test
driver around. was one Of a team
of drivers who learned the hard
way how to handle a car on ice
and snow by experimenting on
frozen Pine Lake at Clintonville,
Wis. last January. The tests
were made by the committee on
winter driving hazards of the
National Safety Council.
Now on loan to the council
from the auto company for
which she works, Miss Shelton is
touring the country with filmed
report of the dos and dont's of
safe winter driving. Don't Skid
Yourself" She has appeared on
radio and television shows here.
Started Flying at IL
Miss Shelton is, in a sense, a
girl who learned to run before
Ishe could walk. Or, at any rate,
she learned to fly before she
could drive. In an interview at
the District Department of We
Ihicles and Traffic. she explained
that she began flying lessons
when she was IL, along with her
father and mother. She got her
license at Is, began to teach fly
ing at Is and was a stunt pilot
lat 10.
II always hung around the
airport in Pensacola, Fla, when
] was a child" she said. u guess
you could call me the airport
mascot"
A 98-pound, 5-foot-3 brunei,
Miss Shelton won the worlds
championship for stunt flying in
1913. l949 and 1850. At the in
lvitation of the Royal Air Force,
she toured Great Britain in 1949.
She learned to drive a car four
years after she learned to fly. and
got into the test driving indirect
Ily when she talked an auto dealer
into giving her an automobile to
enter the National Speed Week
races at Daytona Beach, Fla. in
February. 1854.
She set a record that day and
later became a test driver for the
auto manufacturer.
