Show June 13, 1937 EMERY COUNTY (UTAH) PROGRESS Page Six River Runner Takes New Tax Large Party Down Green River Famous woman 'River Rat, Mrs. Georgie White, shoved off from Green River for Hite Monday morning, with a party of twenty three men and women. Three large rubber raft type boats 28 feet long and three 17 feet long carried the gear and passengers. All food, clothing and even bedding are being carried in neoprene bags that will actually float if necessary. Outboard motors will be used on part of the boats even to run the cataracts. Mrs. White never lines anything through the rapids, she says, but is able to crash through with the big rubber boats. Mrs White has made two trips through the Grand Canyon so far this year and will have one day between the present trip and an other Grand Canyon trip. Bill Wells of Hanksville will pick her up at Hite and fly her to Glen Canyon June 15. J. R. Whitey will have set up another fleet of boats there for another trip to The Crossing of the Fathers. Pictures of all of the trips wijl be taken for later use on television. Guests and crew members on the trip are G. D.
