Nite, Jan. 31 By WARREN BAYLEY HOT SPRINGS NATIONAL PARK, ARKANSAS—In addition to being the first, this is also the most practical of our national parks. While other areas were set aside principally because of scenic value, this park was established that its health building hot springs would not be exploited by quacks and profiteers. Each year 250,000 men, women and children journey here for relief, 100,000 of which are treated without cost. A search of the records reveals that the Indians were the first to recognize the healing powers of the hot springs. For centuries tribes fought for supremacy over this small area in which they believed the “Great Spirit” was ever present. In 1841, Hernando de Soto roamed the region in the name of the then mighty and wealthy Spain. Along the hot streams he found Indians of all tribes encamped, sharing, in momentary truce, the recuperative powers of “big medicine.” Lewis and Clark on returning from their journey into the northwest brought back confirming reports of the waters' recuperative powers. Before that, according to the legend, Ponce de Leon wandered over this wooded area of the Ozark foothills in search of the “fountain of youth.” In 1832 it was established as a national reservation. To date, over $20,000,-000 has been spent by the government and private enterprise in its development. The government controls the 46 bubblers which is piped through the bath houses. 900,000 gallons in temperature from 1 degree, are piped through All the water goes through and is sold to the bath which in turn sells it to rent. A course of 21 batches in price from $16 to $21. In addition to the well-government through with department of the interiors strict supervision of the bath houses, their man and attendants. Summit up in a few words, Hot is a winter resort owned dorsed by Uncle Sam. Normally a city of 16 Springs play host to 250 tourists annually, many for stays. At the peak of time as many as 35,000 are paid one time. Their presence many problems. Like spas the work gamblers make it their shop.

We are not asking for anything novel. We merely urge immediate action to effectuate a recognized solution which needs only the assent of the supervisors to be commenced. “The governing body of the city of Anaheim therefore petition the board of supervisors for immediate abatement, and urge that the Carbon Canyon relief channel as outlined in flood control district report, be constructed at once whether it be a part of proposed spreading works or not, as it is our understanding that funds are available from the bond issue for this work, also, that other unappropriated funds are available for the completion of this project.” Five Newcomers on Booster Body List Five newcomers to Anaheim are included on the list prepared this week by the Chamber of Commerce.
