i Record In EveryWay
A built ;in from tile Palo Paro
I Canyon State Park this week
I presents a comparison of 12
ek in 1949 - lth the same per-
iod in 1948 as to the number of
j car.-, number of visitors, and net

9.768 this season.
Tiie amount of money applica-
ble to the bond issue, issued on

year and $8,242.89 this year.
Last Sunday a total of 53.012
persons had visited the park dur-
ing the year 1949 from January

"Tracing the exact causes ol
dysentery is difficult, o', course,
but it can probably be attributed
to malnutrition, flies, and lack
of proper health safeguards,"
she said. "It is cpiite a problem
here, and cleanliness is the
most effective combatant."

Frowned On Picture Shows
Jim Lipscomb smiled to re-
member that he only went once
legally, his mother holding to
the tradition that nice little boy.,
didn’t go to the movies in tlio.se
days. His father only let him go

people had to avail themselves
of the"MiiUJ'iWn entertainment
benefits of every full length fea-
ture as it flickered and wheezed
across the screen.
Owner of this center of fun
and gaeity was a man named
McGee, and apparently his first
name is lost to posterity. McGee
I they describe as about Mont
I Baker's size, with gray hair
trimmed in a little hedge around
his face.
Came To Him Naturally
He worked into the moving
p icture business naturally

from his position as local photo-
grapher.
McGee practically had a corner

cations but when opportunity
presented itself, the town was

There was May 5, in 1911 for
example when the town was
practically deserted as custom-
ers, store owners, bank presi-
dents and cowboys gathered at
the railroad tracks to watch the
