I ft " " Carteret Comity Mews'lines ?? A Herfcr Of The Beaufort Newt (Mt. l(lt> * Tbe Twin City Timet (e*t 1(M) S? Prondly We Hall . . . P Thii morning on Flushing Meadows, Lang Island, l*pr#?enta tives ot St nations will gather for the iourth regular session of the United Nations. Flags of their respective countries will throw splaahes of color against the sky signifying the high hope that peoples of the world have placed in the United Nations "to save succeeding generations from the acourge of war." To most of us who have had our minds and emotions be clouded by the conflict between Russia and United States and by arguments between the Big Powers, we may be wont to look upon the United Nations with a quizzical smirk or lifted brow, be lieving that it is an ineffective, impractical organization incapable of dealing with the multitude of problems that beset the world Nothing could be farther from the truth. Secretary General Trygve Lie in his annual report which was recently released, declared that the haggling between tile big nations has not stopped the UN's activities in the field of agriculture, child and social welfare, relief, labor, health, economic development, finance and trade. In regard to the growing movement to extend human rights throughout the world. Mr. Lie remarked, "I believe the rise of dependent people and the human rights movement will, in the long run, have far more significance ind give rise to greater events in the second half of the 20th century than will the present ideological struggle." Fighting now for recognition of the rights of individuals will, indeed, destroy many of those conditions which In years gone by have directly given rise to war. On the agenda of the current session of the United Nations if the problem of disposal of former Italian colonies, creation of a 300-man UN field service as part of the United Nations perma nent staff, discussion of freedom, of information, and technical assistance to underdeveloped areas. On the last-mentioned point, James Thorn, New Zealand, presi dent of the economic and social council, says, "For the first time we have looked at this mattter comprehensively, and general prin ciples of policy in which we must all carry responsibility have been put forward. The underdeveloped areas have been regarded not as providing scope for selfish exploitation, but as an opportu nity for welfare of which mankind can take advantage through the organization of finance and technique." Investment in countries' natural resources will bring return in production and profit. Investment in the people who inhabit those countries will pay dividends in terms of social well-being, human dignity, and personal freedom. Through the United Nationa Children's Emergency fund five million undernourished youngsters are receiving food; the UN has been a stalwart arm stretched out to 408,067 refugees that have been re-settled in 75 countries by the International Refugee organization, it has improved the health of 97 per cent of the po pulation of Cyrus as well as the millions in Greece who have been frefd from malaria by the Health organization. Some of the most far-reaching-accomplishments of the United Nationa never make the headlines ? for the old newspaper tru ism, "Conflict Makes News," submerges the placid not-so-stirring achievements. The United Nations, however, is slowly growing in prestige, it is slowly resolving difference&^tetween nations and Uying a foundation that will support an enduring peace. Given full support, it can be the means of bringing to realiza tion what even the most daring optimist has always believed *n impoasibility. HERE and THERE With r. C. SALISBURY, Marches* CHr To toll of the wonders of Yel lowstone Park is beyond our com mand of words. Adjectives art wasted on a description of it's geysers on a description of it's background of mountains. Al though this is our second trip through this wonderland, one can always find some new point of in terest, while the displsy of the various gysers hold one in awe as to what is taking place in the bow ?UP? the earth to sepd forth such Tallowing the breathtaking ride tram Cody to the Grand Canyon we had our reservations the night, Wednesday morn Inf found us viewing the Grand Canyon and falls both from Ar tist Point as well as Inspiration Point. Prom either point one gets ? a view of such rugged beauty that op? will never forget it. The Can ion at this point is 1,000 feet wide with a sheer drop of 000 feet. Yal ipwstqae river, fed by the waters from Yellowstone lake, if one of the few riven is the country that flow north. A* the waters ruah through the canyon, two beauti the beauty of the acene, the beauty of the acne. It la from the coloring o( the canyon that the river gets its nana for among the varied hues at the rocks, the ahade or tone of yeiiow predominates. We reluctantly leave the eights of this section to take up the days trip which will bring us later fn the day to the wonder point of the park, OM Faithful. Along a road which winds its way through forest and mounUiMida, we come to Mammoth Hot Springe at the northern part of the Park. Here we stop for lunch, spending an hour or more visiting the hot aprlngs and muaeua. Along the aide hills, from which the natural apringa well, are a group of steps or terrace* over which flaw the steaming waters, laden with min eral*. Each descending step has been tinted by the plant life, liv <ayiT? MOPyiAR, FOR *V( ing in the hot water, in a thousand tones. So vivid are these colors that they appear to vibrate and g)ow in the sunlight. After lunch finds us headed for what is called the Norris Basin and from there to Old Faithful to spend the night. At the Norris Basin are a host of small geysers. Some spout at frequent intervals and its steam vents noisily erupt volumes of vapor. Besides the gey sers are many pools, the waters of which have iridescent hues* The names of Emerald. Opal, Iris, and Congress have been given to the most prominent. At this point as will as at others. Parle Rangers give interesting short talks, point ing out the various geysers so that one can hook up the various ?n ii 11 i ? names given to them. [ With the approach of Fall in ! this region, the days have been | bright and clear. Frosty morning* calling for heavy wraps. It is some difference from the saalev el section of North Carolina to more than eight thousands above. At times your ear drums feel like popping and ones breath comes | short when climbing. At the end of the day's run we check in at the Old Faithful Inn, a most unusual structure built of logs. Just after our arrival, Old Faithful, th* main show geyser I of the park, put on one of its hour i ly eruptions. Starting out with a | with a few spurts or gasps it fine i ly let loose', sending a stream of I hot water nearly 200 feet In height 1 lasting (or about four minutes. The average eruptions are at in tervals of 64 minutes. At night a spotlight illuminates the geyser giving a beautiful and breath-tak ing effect. In the region of Old Faithful are a large number of geyiers giv en such names as Beehive, Grotto, and Castle. Their descriptive names are derived from their fan tastic and unusual formations. The most beautiful formation is one called the Morning Glory Pool. The rim of the pool has a escal loped effect while the opening of the geyser is cone shape. The blue of the sky reflected on the hot water gives the most realistic blue of a morning glory. The bracing air of the park gives one a vigorous appetite while at night call* lor a blanket or two. One dpes not need a *}eep ing pill to paes an to th? land af nod. |t would take Paget to dMCijbe the wonders and beauty of the park, but we muat hurry -on for the intereating points of our trip. Leaving by the Weat Yellowstone gate, a night's run puts us In Salf Lake City where we spend ?.da? in what (a considered one of the most cleanest cities In the. couatqr. We can heartily agree with this statement. Chief interest canters (bout femple Sauare. the Jieadauarters of the mother church of itie Chur ch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saipts. Within this ten-acre plot is' the Temple, Tabernacle, atone ment to the seagulls and other buildings bouaing the affair# of thf church. No object in Salt Lake City a* cites greater intareat in (h? minds of atrawftrs than (he Temple. Work was started on the Temple in 1853 Jt is built of gray granite taken from the mountainside lb miles from the city. On the Cap stone of the eaat center tower is a hammered copper statue, over 13 feet high, heavily gilded with pure gold leaf. It represents the aqgel Moroni, the heavenly mes senger who appeared to tne Pfo phet Joseph Smith and gave to him the plates of the Book of Har mon. Completed in all eaaential respects on the 5th day of April 1803 at a coat of $4,000,000. Since the dedication services of the Tem ple on that date, when visitors were permitted to be conducted through the Temple, none but members of the Church, in goad standing have been permitted ta enter. This is the sixth Temple to be built by this denomination. Such Temples are not uaed for lar ge public gathering. Marriage ceremonies are performed there | but only for members of the Mor | mon faith. The rites of baptism, j both for the living and the dead take place within Temple a| well, as the "sealing" of mkrriages apd of children for eternity. The ex clusiveness of Mormon temples is said to be in conformity to what may properly be regarded as an Eternal Law - - the unworthy are deprived of privileges and blessings accorded to the right eous. Within the Tabernacle where pu blic gatherings are held in one of the largest and finest pipe organs in the United States. Recitals are given each week at noon for one half an hour. Such numbers as "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" by Ba(h and celebrated Largo from "Xerxea" by Handel were all T ^ ' * .?TT Wi ? ?' ? ? ? ? r Qre?k to us but I mu?U te??C no doabt C<mld appreciate auch auiuhors.
