Show The Word From Boulder HY XETIIELLA GRIFFIN My Sunday School class consists of nine boys and girls, ages nine to eleven. When we have parties the number increases, and when we have outdoor parties as we did yesterday, the number more than doubles, the ages spreading In both directions. We really had a lot of fun coasting down the long hill In front of my house and later hiking up The Rocks down which the ro-ut from tho west enters Boulder. As many as could, get Into my car rode and the rest walked about two-thirds of the way to the top where there is n shelf on which we made a (Ire and ate our lunch. We did not need the fire for warmth, as the nun-was. gloriously bright. After lunch we found a way ot getting up a thirty-foot ledge to the plateau, and then hiked to the tery summit from which we had a commanding view ot the whole country. The horizon was bounded by the blue Henry Mountains on the 'ut, tho Navajo Mountain across the Colorado Rlvr on Hi South, and the Boulder Mountain on the north. The whole panorama of colorful can)ons, mesas and plna-elf lay before ut. Near at band of course was our own beautiful valley, looking rather unfamiliar with the fields, meadows, and farmsteads under a blanket of anow. In descending from the plateau we made several false tries before we found a good place. Naturally any eleven year-old boy would disdain going back down a ledge the same place he hud come up when there Mere other possibilities. At length we wifely followed a deer trail marked by a slUht depression In tho snow that took us to a good place for descending. There were no mishaps, unless you counted the wet feet caused by the anow going over our Loot tops. One little girl's foot-gear was so water-soaked that I had to carry her, barefoot, into her home. I poured about a cupful of water from each of my boots when I finally got around to taking them off. I doubt.though, that there was even one sniffle or sneeze resulting from the trip. Colds and Influenza increase in wintertime because people are shut indoors In overheated rooms. Every healthy child knows that snow lsuiiant to be played In. I hope that raeh Boulder youngster one day jpwni a pair of skis and learn to use them, Ve have wonder ful ski areas. Just going to waste. Since not much has happened here this wek, l shall have-to mention the things we talk about. One of 'these- is thefcood fortune of Harold Ecker ofLoa In selling his uranium claim for a million dollars. One man lie-c!area that lie saw the contract betweca Mr. Ecker and a Texas company. What we are wondering Is Just how much is a million dollars, A.T.T (after taxes) We had thought, there was a new epidemic of uranium fever the first of the week when we saw so many vehicles headed for Circle Cliffs until someone told us 'that a warning had gone out to prospectors to get done what they had to do before the atomic tests on Tuesday, after which all gelger courWa could .be ex-pected ' to go eraty. The subject uppermost In our minds, as It likely tafor most everyone else, Is one we don't talk about much, because we feel so helpless about It. That Is what Is going on In relation to Tachens, Quemoy and such places. We hopo and pray that those In. authority will be blessed with wisdom to do what Is best. If the worst comes and there sunt be war, we hope they will frankly call It sueh r- lal'nlywuor'Potlce Action 11K A number of cattlemen 'ire; on' the range this week looking lifter their stock.
