Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA. UTAH ' 1 , h . - ' .... i - ? Among the often frenetic and sometimes startling efforts in the development of regional tourist areas to satisfy the U.S. vacationist's yen to see new and strange places, the Midwest's Wisconsin Dells is refreshing as a spot where natural beauty has not yet been sacrificed to garish display. Located in the south-centr-section of the state, the Dells are formed as the Wis-consin river cuts deep info sandstone to form a seven-mil- e canyon between steep rock walls. A Civil war veteran, H. H. Bennett, started publicizing the region in 1870 with his "wet plate" camera studies. Now, when tourists swarm each summer, the Dells abound with somber, richly costumed Winnebago Indians who will pose for a man with a camera at the drop of a feather. Chief Yellow Thunder (left) is a case in point. ... ; ' L" i , V' 5 " - . i "- -it ' "V a K I Stand Rock is the trademark of t the Dells. It is a 50-fo- pillar : separated from the main cliff by j o space of six feet. The top is a slab of sandstone 20 feet in h diameter. One of H. H. Bennett's :, first action photos shows his son '. leaping from cliff to stone. Now, Bennett's granddaughter superv-ises as her dog "Watch" does the same trick. There's a safety net in the event of accident. The town of Wisconsin Dells lives on the tourist trade, and the Dells st liove a special lure for artists, cameramen and geologists. 1 i & .

' 2 i f I t I SPORTLIGHT , Irish Stealing Scots' Thunder By GRANTLAND RICE I WHEN YOU look back over past in the British golf championships, it seems odd to see a brace of Irishmen acting as the last two defenders of the British amateur. In past years Englishmen and Scots, from John BaE and Freddie ,w-Tg- r, Tait through Hilton Ji on to the Tolleys I V and Wethereds have ? S b e e n the main tp- hopes across the y i f stormy water haz- - " ard. ! Jt James I t I Bruen of Ireland I I who led the pack in .r ... 1946 and now there's ' Sam Rice Cready, also of Ireland, wearing the coronet of 1949. It is something for a first starter In a British amateur to roll back two such men as Frank Stranahan and Willie Turnesa down the stretch. Especially over what might be the toughest course in the world. At least we know of no other course or links that is 7200 yards long, par 74 where the normal weather is driving rains and battering gales. Yet McCready in his morning round against Turnesa shot himself a 70, just about the equal of a 62 on most other tests. It would have been pleasant to have had Mc- Cready as a parlay against Stran-ahan and Turnesa. It should have been a nice 10 to 1 or 12 to 1 pay-off. In the opening betting the final winner was around 40 to 1. First starters rarely ever win one of these big tournaments where ex-perience is almost as Important as skill. To stand 4 up at the midway point, to become 1 down late in the stretch, and then recover again is inbute enough to McCready's com-petitive side. It was a good thing for In-ternational golf that an Irish-- , man won. It will steam up the Walker Cup matches at Winged Foot in August where interested galleries would like to get a look at the swing that decapi-tated our two best amateurs. In the meanwhile, what has hap-pened to Scottish golf? What has become of the descendants of that ancient shepherd who began knock-ing round stones into holes, thereby starting a game that in the U.S. alone has led to some 5,000 courses and some three million club swing-ers? It is time the land of the thistle and the bluebell came bounding back. A Champ Moves Up Some weeks ago, a few noncom-batant- s were kidding Bill Dickey about Ted Williams. Bill always has contended that Ted Williams was as fine a hitter as he ever saw. Ted was under .300 at the time. The Prince Regent of Arkan-sas merely grinned. "I have an idea," Bill said, "that he will be back up there around the first of June. Nothing can keep back that eye and that pair of working wrists. Williams can wait until the ball is almost in the catcher's glove before he swings. And if it's a half inch wide of the plate he won't fool with it." It seems that in the race for bat-ting honors, Ted Is back where he belongs. He has moved from .290 to around the .330 mark. He also has his full share of home runs and runs batted in. He is the best bet of the year to become a Triple Crowner in the department of the ash. At this spot we can't see any one leading Williams to the batting wire in September. There is a big difference be-tween hitting .400 now and hit-ting .400 some 20 or 30 years ago. Williams was the last big leaguer to hit over .400 some years ago. But back in an earl-ier decade we had Ty Cobb, Harry Beilmann, George Sisler, Rogers Hornsby, Bill Terry and others tapping the big mark from year to year. A .400 hit-ter caused no undue excitement in those lost decades. There is another young hitter wh has moved up from his 1948 form His name is Ralph Kiner. Th Pirate bomber stopped in the .260'! last season. He has been nearly l 100 points better than that this spring. The Kiner-Miz- e home-ru- n race is still something to watch. Both hit 51 home runs in 1947. Both hit 40 home runs last season. After the Memorial day double-header- Kin er had 11 and Mize 10. "The kid worked hard all winter to be ready for this sea-son," Bing Crosby said a few days ago. "He has a set of ex-ercises to develop hands, wrists and forearms. He is a fine boy who wants to learn. I believe this will be his best year. I hope so for we certainly need ' more of the same." "Any way," I said, "you ; Pirates have looked just as good as Bob Hope's Indians. Which is some help." SmileAujhilf $1,530,942.52 was the figure that Mr. DeKwickrich estimated as his fortune. He had come by it through many years of industrious labor and now was enjoying the fruits of his uphill struggle. He and his wife traveled all over the world and stayed at the finest hotels. There was always one thing he insisted upon at those hotels and that was a swimming pool. His wife was an excellent swimmer and enjoyed her morn-ing dip. One morning a lackey rushed up to Mr. DeKwickrich to inform him that his wife had had an acci-dent in the pool and had nearly drowned. "They are applying artificial respiration now," the attendant assured him, "and the doctor thinks she will come around all right." j Mr. DeKwickrich seemed some- - ' what put out. "You run back there," he said, "and tell them I can afford the real thing. Artificial respiration, j! indeed!" Old Crony "Say, I haven't seen O'Callahan around for the last few years. Where is he?" Another "He doesn't bother to come around here any more. He's rich now, you know." Old Crony "Ye don't say. Got rich awfully quick, didn't he?" Another "Quick? I'll say. He doesn't swing a golf club without first spitting on his hands." - Marriage, Divorce Rates Show Noticeable Decline Throughout the civilized world in 1948, there was a noticeable decline in marriage and divorce rates. With improved economic con-ditions, there were indications in 1948 that family life was slowly returning to normalcy. Many countries, notably Eng-land, Finland, Japan, Poland, and Sweden, instituted or broadened provisions designed to make fami-ly life more secure. In the United States, about 1,800,000 marriages were perf-ormed, a decrease of 10 per cent from the provisional total of 1,992,354 in 1947, and a drop of more than 20 per cent from the final figure of 2,291,045 in 1946. The rate of divorce was ap-proaching the pre-w- trend, with the number of divorces believed not to exceed 420,000 a decrease of 10 per cent from 1947, and a 30 per cent decrease from 1946. Certain notable efforts to im-prove family life were made in the United States in 1948, accord-ing to the article. The National Conference on Family Life, au-thorized by President Truman, convened at the White House in May to explore the factual back-ground of U. S. families, dynamics of family interaction, economic welfare, and related topics. Institutes on family relations were held at the universities of California, Chicago, Indiana, and Southern California, and the American Institute of Family Relations sponsored workshops at several colleges. The University of Florida extension division con-ducted seven regional family life institutes. HOWfE2 By Tom Gregory BU0BLE TROUBLS?
