earth some 60 to 18(r million
yars ago.
In the Dinosaur Exhibit there
are 12 dinosaurs, each reproduced
in as exact detail as science can
determine. Originally designed
for use as the Sinclair Exhibit
at the New York World’s Fair,
the dinosaurs have been an out-
standing success “on the road.”
Governors and mayors and other
high civic officials have official-
ly greeted them in every state.
Countless professional and ama-
teur photographers have had a
pre-historic holiday, taking pic-
tures of the giant reptiles from
every conceivable angle and with
every kind of background. Chil-
dren have written poems and
songs about the dinosaurs, teach-
ers have-hailed the project as a
tremendously exciting education-
al opportunity for their classes,
and science writers in many cities
have written long articles on the
value of re-creating a vita! part
of the earth’s past for the public
at large.
The Dinosaur Exhibit is, in
fact, a “traveling natural science
museum,” which excitingly tells
the story of the beginnings of
the earth. The Sinclair Refining
Company is presenting this ex-
hibit as a public service. It is
logical that an oil company do
this, for it is from the decayed
animal and vegetable life of mil-
lions of years that crude oil was
form'd. Brontosaurus, the larg-
est of the dinosaurs (30 feet high
ami 70 feet long) is, in fact, the
symbol of Sinclair.
The dinosaurs will be at Won-
derland fori-flye days. Based on
the 1966 and 1*967 lours, a record
attendance is ahticapated.

India, Ceylon, China, Tibet, and
Japan.

well showed beautiful color
slides of Singapore and also told
of how the Board of Missions

College in Singapore.
After the slides had been
completed a question and answer
period was held and this proved
to he very interesting.
Several people who were at
this program purchased Dr.
Stockwell’s book titled “Medita-
tions from a Prison Cell” that
makes very interesting reading.

gram said how much they learn-
ed about the work of Mission-
aries.

GREETINGS FROM ARIZONA
NORTHLANDS
We received the following let-
ter this week from our friends,
Charles and Medina Goodenough:
“Want to renew our subscription
and read the Hill Country news,
where its getting spring and
warm. Our 86" snowfall that
fell in December ia gone and
what we’ve had since has melted.
Gettings our “spring" snow show-
ers almost daily, which is typical
of the weather here in March
and April. Won’t get above
freezing at night until June, so
not any flowers until late, and
then only 90 days growing sea-
son. The summer is delightful.”
Charles and Medina Goodenough.
We had a nice letter from
John V. McShane this week in
which he sent his check for a
renewal to the Bandera Bulletin
for another year and wrote as
follows: “We still get back to
Bandera on week-ends and when
possible and I guess we always
will. Want you to know that
we look forward to viewing the
Bandera Bulletin every week and
enjoy it thoroughly.” Mr. and
Mm. McShane are former full-
time residents of Bandera and
have many friends in this com-
munity whto are always happy
to see them.
Mrs. John Camp of Houston
sent in her renewal to the Bnn-
dera Bulletin this week and wrote
us as follows: “Sure have en-
joyed getting the Bulletin. John-
ny and I get homesick and when
we can’t get home as often as we
like, it really helps to be able to
keep up with the news from
Bandera every week’, Thanks for
doing a great job and making
two people feel a little closer to
tHeir home town each week.” Mrs.
Camp will be remembered here
as the former Mayme Jo Eck-
hart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
