To bring the Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone and Glacier national parks to a greater number of Americans, three great railroad systems it was announced today have joined in establishing for the coming summer a new series of live “escorted” tours every week from Chicago and St. Louis to these great playgrounds. The tours, varying from 10 days to two weeks in duration, are so arranged that any two of the three parks may be visited on the same trip.

The Frannie American Legion Post has scheduled the showing of the new films made of the Big Horn Canyon last summer. The color reels will be shown at the Deaver High School gym on Saturday night, Jan. 28, at 8 p.m.These pictures were made by some of the same crew that filmed the canyon and river several years ago. Their trip last summer was quite hazardous with extreme low water. This is the first public showing of the films.

The Lovell-Kane Museum is about to embark on a journey to recreate railroad history for area residents. Using a $7,500 grant awarded last year by the BNSR Railway Foundation, museum volunteers are seeking stories, artifacts and mementos of railroads that existed in the area from the early 1900s through 1965.
