Suggests Hiking
Trail to ''Cat Rocks
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
The article relative to Cat
Rocks" in last weeks issue, was
extremely interesting and reVives
a food CT half-buried memories.
Excuse me, but who might the
"blasphemer" be that first called
this sacred" spot Cat rocks?
From pioneer days our great
grandpappics" called it "Bear-irack
Rock" misnomer, of course,
since the tracks are those of a
large and extinct species of noun
tain lion, and the kitten" tracks
are those of a small rodent, also
extinct. Let's not overlook this
very important point: "Beartrack
Rock" will also sound far more
inviting and exciting, and romantic
to tourists To call this place Cat

the high seas.
Many years ago | went to this
most interesting spot to chisel out
a specimen for the Smithsonian.

tracks" but plenty of blisters. The
rock is SO hard the chisel failed
to leave even a mark. My con-
clusion was that the Smithsonian

Only a thousand feet away are
the great massive boulders known
as Roth.Rocks. In the early days Of
this century many thousands of
people visited those impressive
and spectacular rocks. 1t was a
favorite place for many picnic
parties.
one OF the lofty pinnacles has a
flat top dubbed the table" and
is cut full of names and some
ancient" dates. Great crevices,
perhaps thirty feet deep separate
these huge rocks. Some of our
folks have large picture made,
/ believe, in 1904, showing a group
from one of the Sunday Schools
of the county. Those parties were
almost a weekly occurrence.
Some years ago we tried to in
terest some public-spirited indi-
viduals in a smooth easily-travelcd
mixers trail from Route 50 to 2lS
at the sand plant. Since then, a
good road leads to the fire-tower
and on the South end trail con-
meets PIG with Hoye Crest. Only
the link from the fire-tower to
Hoye Crest remains. This is about
three and one-fourth miles, | be-
lieve.
This could be our greatest tourist
attraction after Deep Greek Lake
Ready? o. X, let's go. We go by
bus or automobile to the motel on
route 50, have lunch, then drive
on to Table Rock. After a brief
pause to enjoy the scenery, we
proceed to the fire-tower. Some
lose their nerve part way up. But
it's really breath-taking from the
top.
From here we travel on ioot
over a smooth, well-kept trail
maintained through the co-opera
ton of forest department, mixers
clubs, bird clubs, and patriotic
citizens. One mile, and we are al

classified by ability" the
writer reflects, "the gaps be-

evitably become wider, The
upper classes are. on the one

self-doubt and self-crlticlSm.
Today the eminent know that
success is just reward for
their own capacity, for their
own efforts and for their own
undeniable achievement.
They deserve to belong to a
superior class. They know,
too, that not only are they of
higher caliber to start with,
but that a first-class educa-
ton has been built upon their
native gifts. AS a result, they
can come as close as anyone
to understanding the full
and ever-growing completely
of our technical civilization.
They are trained in science,
and it is scientists who have
inherited the earth"
"AS for the lower
classes, their situation is
different, too. Today all per-
sons, however humble, know
they have had every chance.
They are tested again and
again. If on one occasion
they are off color, they have
a second, a third and fourth
opportunity to demonstrate
their ability. But if they
have been labelled Ounce

ODE TO A YOUNG LOVE.
BY Basil Davidson. (Hough-
ton Miff1in; $500
This is a doleful little story
of a pair of poor young Eng
lish lovers who never had a
chance. The girl is the
daughter of a beautiful prosti-
tute, the boy the son Of a
procurer.
While their elders are
plotting new schemes for
ill-gotten gains, the young
sters steal off to a house in
the woods where they achieve
a moderate measure of bliss.
Mr.. Davidson paints a
vivid picture of an earthly,
entirely selfish woman in
the mother. The story is
told by the daughter after all
the damage that can possibly
occur has been wrought, and
she interpolates her remi-
niscences with the cropping
declarations of the social
worker appointed to bring
her out of her spiritual
moraSS.
The recitation is almost
entirely bleak and punctuated
by IF onlys" that cast such
a pail over any narrative.

BY John and Margaret
Harris. Random House;

This is probably the best
argument for giving Ameri-
ca back to the Indians yet
to come along.
1t is the story of how the
white man moved westward
in the 1840s in search of
beaver and Oregon. AS they
poured into the lands of the
Sioux and the PaWnee, they
poured whisky, too, and this
appears to have been the
ruin of the Red Man.
Having learned that an
Indian would trade his furs,
his horse or his wife, not
necessarily in that order, for
a drink of booze, the trap
perS and traders soon had
all three. They also killed
off the buffalo, seized the
Indians lands and reduced
them from noble nomads to
itinerant beggars.
Basically. this fine and
carefully researched historical
novel is sympathetic to the
Indians and to their way of
life. Of course. the Amerin-
dams we're doing nothing

West except being happy on

moral injunction that they
should be accorded a station
in life related to their ca
pacities."
1t also was recognized that
no one with a high I. O.. and
consequently a good job and
a big salary, should have TO
degrade himself or herself or
waste time on domestic Ia
Dor. So a servant class,
largely disintegrated during
the imitation of the middle
goth century, was recreated.
But do you think this uto-
pia was accepted by all?
Well, hardly. AS the writer
completed his thesis, a full
scale revolt was brewing from
several different sources.
RlgnC WlngerS, on one size,
wanted to restore the hered-
itary principle, so that sons
of the wealthy and titled
could be assured of a college
education, regardless of the
tests. The socialists were
contending that the labor
ing class didn't get a fair
break.
The women, too, were in
on the rebellion. Where,
they asked, was the romance
lin an intelligence marriage"
And they often found the
better muscled, handsomer
men in the humble capac-
tiles more attractive.
There's simply no pleasing
everybody.

the small COW while the 9TH

Someone had seen the Weak
ling pause before the shrine
of st. Ludmila. What did that
mean? Nothing, scoffed the
dairymen and herdsmen,
though Father Polda was not
so sure. Little Ludmila took
the fragile COW to a new lush
place in the valley, where
she grazed happily. Suddenly
the child noticed that the
cows udderS were swollen.
She began giving milk. The
next few days she gave pro-
digiously of the richest sort
of understanding in that

the other COWS for the whole
season. The prize would be
hers.
Was it a miracle? No one
