But then it has been rated some honor because not all rat holes have a tiny sign on Main street with an arrow indicating it is nine miles to Timpanogos Cave. If it is a world wonder for scenic beauty where is its public relations man? Where is its advertising manager? Where is its sign painter? Where is its exploiter? The congress has set it aside as a national scenic area and keeps a custodian on location to see that it does not come to harm jind destruction but the keeper's is a wee smajl voice compared to what the civic clubs, Chamber of Commerce, and American Fork citizen's can do toward letting let-ting it be known that American Fork is the keeper of a world wonder Timpanogos Cave. Kwiz Story Korner for Kids THE MISFORTUNES OF A BROWN BEAR by Nigel Stewart Hey I was only a month old when I heard the big noise. I shudder to think of it even now. It was a terrible loud noise. Hunters from the valley below had come to catch us bears. My mother was out looking for food when I heard a second clap of terrible noise, then a shriek of agony, and then the snarling of infuriated hounds. Bears are naturally curious, so X ventured to the cave entrance and peeped out The sight that I beheld was a cad one. On the ground lay my mother, staining the pine needles ted with her blood as two massive hounds were attacking her. Mother was not dead, but weakly trying to resist the Hounds. Two men stood near, harshly laughing as if at great sport Then one man called off the dogs and raised his rifle to his shoulder. (Continued next week) PUZZLE CORNER re- 1.
