PICKUPS BY DETE The .gentleman seated in front of me gazed for a few minutes at the sheer cliffs above The Church Bowl. Then he said to Iiis companion, "Sate makes you feel mighty small, don’t they, Bill?" This sense of hu- mility may be the basis of figures compiled by Dr, Glass. Or did you know that the per- centage of church goers in ratio to the hum= ber of Park visitors is 70/greater than in our cities? Yosemite’s Brownie Troop No. 1 (those :: embroyo Girl Scouts) was royally enter- . tained at the Fish Hatchery on Tuesday eve- ning. They listened with adult attentiveness while Mr. Nixon explained the life span of a trout from egg to the frying pan. High’ lights of the evening were barbecued ~vein- ers and chocolate ice cream.
