Show The Word From Boulder HV NETHELLA GIUFFIN As I drove away from the ''Cameron Hotel In Pangultch tha pother day I mentally contrasted .U new. spacious, glass-walled -jfoyer, Us luxurious rooms In both matnbulldlngr and cottage; apartments, Its. patio and curio room, with the facilltlei of the 'Cameron Hotel wJicnew nearly "A fifty yea z?,o, U Is a wonderfully fine establishment that Allen and his wife have built. Their enterprise has b-wcfltted, not Pangultch onl, but the .whole country. Still, for a few minutes I enjoyed remembering ithe old hotel, when Allen' fa. Mther welcomed us after a long, ffcold ride In our nlud-spattered jljwhlte canvas-topped buggy, and jHLta mother took us Into her f am.

Even the strangers become in--terestlnc, for someone you know will know them and oan tell you all about them. You can find some contrast here, too. 'For InsUat there was a down-and-out looking man who had come to see. the doctor well fortified with a considerable Intake of alcoholic stimulant. He didn't apr r to hare much of a future before him. Not far from him sat a boy of about eight yean who gave no appearance of Illness. He was accompanied by a staid looking lady who I was told was his nurse and that the boy was the only son of a Las Vegas multimillionaire who likes to spend his holidays In this vicinity.
