Legends of the White Horse
For centuries, the sign of the white
horse has been an international symbol
of good luck, purity and high ideals.
It is also an emblem of power and vic-
tory. The Norse gods went forth to war
on snow-white horses; the Valkyrie
rode white horses; and the horses of
many famous generals from the Saxons
Hengist and Horsa, to Napoleon, and
Britain's Lord Roberts, were white.

man on a white horse. The
ancient arts of China and Japan
revered them; so did the artisans
of the Near East and the Mediter-
ranean civilizations. Persian rulers
had replicas of their white war
horses buried with them for life in
the hereafter.
The Wa-Ki-Cha Camp Fire
Group
The Wa-Ki-Cha Camp Fire
group met Tuesday the 3rd to

Geysers
Contrary to popular belief, no
geyser appears at a precisely pre-

earn its name by virtue of pro-

two days after its discovery. Re-

94 minutes. Several geysers in
Yellowstone are more faithful than
Old Faithful.
Geysers are among nature’s
rarest phenomena. They have de-
veloped in significant numbers
only in Yellowstone, Iceland, and
New Zealand. The biggest and
largest geysers are in Yellowstone.
The National Park has more
than 200 geyser* that whirl, whis-
