The beauty and attractiveness
of Glacier Park as popular
tourist and recreational vaca-
tiOnland is emphasized in this
months issue of The Dodge
News Magazine which dcvotcs
two full pages of pictures and de-
scriptivc accounts to a vivid por-
trayal of natures creation.
The article pays particular
tribute to the engineers who
layed out and designed the Go.

describes as The worlds most
spectacular road" whose breath

The author. Len Barnes.
quotes an eastern writer as de-
scribing it in these words: What
ever your faith. il is sure to be
strengthened by the Going To-
Thc.Sun trip. Here is where
God must have sa, when He
made America"
That is fully abundant and
complete description of the
scenic beauty at our very door
step. and one which | should
have liked to have been the
author of.
However. in my own simple
and diminutivc way of expires.
sion. | have no doubt stepped
outside Of my chosen sphere to
dedicate the following reflection
to the Creator of the beauty that

TO really enjoy the scenic and
natural combination contained
in Glacier Park one should take
\ picnic lunch and make 4 day
Of IL.
More than that. one can be
readily convinced Of the Park $
increasing popularity when they
try 10 find 4 picnic table on
which to spread their lunch.
We took the drive up to Logan
Pass Sunday over the Going.To.
Thc.Sun Highway. taking along
u lunch which We expected to
dispatch amid the smoke and ap.
pr,izims smell Of burning pine
logs and the freshness Of the
cool. clear mountain air ut q
campgiUund.
This We accomplished. but not
until 80 that evening. and only
after searching two camps for q
table on which To spread our
opcn.air banquet. and then
only thru the Kindness of some
icntcampcrS who offered us the
rSc Of their table after watching
our iruitlcss search for some
time.
The Park Service has done q
wondrrful job. and for all
know. may have plans along this
line Of suggestion.
Il would appear that the Park :
camping facilities are becoming
ovrr.taNcd to q point where con
siderable enlargement Is ncccS
sary. Not because I was un
able 10 find q table on which Ia
eat q sandwich and sniff pine
smoke for awhile. but be.
cause We watched car after car
with irailcrs and top carriers
make the round. get out and
make inquiries. then drive away
~ search Of another campSi.hi
I'VE had Ia get here early III
the morning 10 get this spot.
our friends commented. we
hcadIuartrr here and take trips
for n day or two. Just cant take
n chance on no, finding another
spot"
II may not bc that bad aii over
tho Park but us q cinrh that
people are taking 10 outdoor Va
cations and the facilities are h.
coming rrantpcd and over crowd
