Highlights Of Farm Tour Over
Midwest And Canada Are Described
ABOUT YOUR HEAL'
By Mrs. I,. F. Ilooten Sr.
(Editor's note: This is another
in a series of articles written by
Mrs. L. F. Ilooten, a member of
this year’s Murray Cox Farm
Tour.
The great Pelouse wheat fields
stretch off to the south of Spo-
kane with orchards north and
east. The variety of wheat grown
is called “Club Wheat’’ and is
about one half the length of our
wheat heads and is beardless. Its
use is limited to making pastries,
cakes and crackers.
Grass seeds are ap. important
industry, blue grass, brome, or-
chard and wheat grasses. Exten-
sive areas are planted in peas,
similar to our English peas, but
are harvested dry and used for
split peas. Irrigation was neces-
sary in many fields.
Palouse is a magic area in
Washington and here is found
the world renowned Palouse
horse. J. W. Cornwall and sons,
Don and Neal, own 2295 acres
here and operate a diversified
farm. They have a continuous
fight to conserve moisture and
control erosion. Area Conserva-
tionist Wesley Spencer and Coun-
ty Agent Clayton Kelsey sponsor-
ed the tour.
Lumbering is big business in
Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho. Guided
tours are provided through the
mills. Coeur d’ Alene is of French
derivation. The name was given
to tihe Indians by the early
French traders who claimed the
Indians where shrewd traders or
had the “heart of an Owl”. Two
cruises across Lake Coeur d’
Alene and dinner at the Lake
Lodge completed another day.
Glacier Park is considered by
many to be the most beautiful
of our National Parks. Glacier
Park Scenicoaches met the spec-
ial train at Belton, Montana, the
western gateway and transfer-
red passengers to Lake McDon-
ald Hotel which is serenely lo-
cated among the towering virgin
pines on the shore of beautiful
Lake McDonald.
Crossing the park from west to
east is one of the great engin-
eering triumphs of the world.
The “Glory to the Sun” highway
crosses the continental Divide
at Logan Pass. Rain that had fal-
len all day turned to Sleet and
snow as buses neared Logan
Pass.
On this tour, Don Wilson, med-
ical student in the University of
Houston, and classmate of Gay
Janes, served as guide and driv-
er for the bus carrying the Coop-
er passengers. This was his Sec-
ond summer spent in the park.
The waiters and waitresses in
all the large National Park Ho-
tels in Canada and the U. S. were
college students . . . charming
young people who enjoyed their
work.
Breath-taking gardens sur-
round Glacier Park Lodge which
is silhouetted against snow cap-
ped peaks. This was tour head-
quarters at east entrance to the
park.
Over a thousand known spec-
ies of wild flowers brighten
Glacier trails. Bear grass is the
official park flower. The rose,
purple and gold mountains of
Glacier Park are crowned by 60
glaciers.
Billings, Montana, a “Midland
Empire” of 70,000 people is sur-
rounder on threi sides by a high
rock wall called Rim Rock. Sun-
day was spent here and many
tour members attended the new,
million - dollar Congregational
Church.
History came alive during the
I tour of Custer Battlefield locat-
ed in southeastern Montana, 15
miles South of the town of Har-
| din. White monuments are scat-
| tered over the hillsides marking
the exact spot each of the bodies
were found. (They were origin-
ally buried at these exact spots
but lated moved to a nearby
national cemetery.
Newcastle, a fast growing city
built by ranchers and oil men1
is Wyoming’s Western Gateway
to the Black Hills of South
Dakota. Buses took tour mem-
bers from Newcastle on this
memorable, all-day trip through
the Black Hills to Mount Rush-
more National Memorial, histor-
ic Deadwood City, Homestake
Mine, spectacular Needles High-
way and Sylvan Lake.
Mist and a dense fog lifted
long enough for all to see the
likenessnesseS of four great
Americans, George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lin-
coln and Theodore Roosevelt,
carveed on the face of 6,000 foot
high Mount Rushmore.
Each likeness is carved out of
solid granite and measures 60
feet from chin to forehead. Gut-
zon Borghum, the noted sculptor,
spent 14 years working on the
memorial and died at the age of
74 leaving the final work to his
son, Lincoln Borghum.
The most exciting experience
of the tour occurred near the
top of Mount Rushmore. Five of
the big buses took a scenic high-
way used for passenger cars on-
ly and came to a tunnel impas-
sable for buses to go through.
All were forced to turn around
on a very small space on the
mountain top. Rain was falling
and traffic was piled up in both
directions.
It was a field day for camera
fans, but a harrowing experience
for tour members.

There is a new killer in our
midst! Actually, it isn’t so new.
There have been deaths from
this cause for a few years now.
The tragic thing about this
new killer is he strikes at in-
fants and toddling children —
the ones that can’t protect them-
selves!
This killer comes in sevcinl
forms. He appears as a crib
sheet, pillow case, bib, and worst
of all, a TOY.
However, this killer is easily
recognized by grownup. It is the
clear plastic that is used for so
many purposes these days.
Take shirts. Bags made out of
this plastic are just perfect for
protecting the shirt from dust
and at the same time displaying
the product.
But when such plastic material
is used as crib sheets?
Last year in Texas, three in-
fants, eight, seven, and five
months old suffocated because
they accidentally pulled the plas-
tic sheet over their face.
Pillow cases too, are just as
deadly. Early this year a four
month old child was found in
bed with its head buried in a
plastic pillow case.
A month later a plastic sheet
claimed another victim. And still
another month later a five month
old infant playing with a plas-
tic bag pulled it over her head
and suffocated.
In addition one baby suffocat-
ed from a plastic bib, and just
the other day a fifth 1959 victim
died -- suffocated by a crib sheet.
Already the total has almost
equalled last year’s toll.
Plastic bags have an impor-
tant and useful place in modern
life, IF they are used correctly.
You wouldn’t let an infant
play with a pistol. You don’t use
a razor for a teething ring. So
why put something as dangerous
as a plastic bag into the hands
of an infant.
When pressed to his face, the
plastic clings. When the infant
tries to breath it clings all the
tighter. The result is suffocation,
because the little tike is unable
to tear the material from his face.
So, protect little children from
exposure to such plastic mater-
ial.
