THEBAYTOWNSUN Sunday, July 22.1*73 Baytonian Takes Trip Through Grand Canyon BySIMONEBUSH Mrs. Alvie Nance has returned from an II day trip that took her 210 miles down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Traveling in wooden dories with no motors, the group was dependent on the oarsmen who also served as guides. There was one oarsman with four passengers for each done. Because there were no motors to frighten the wildlife, her group was able to see many birds and animals at close range.

The group of 35 camped at night and stopped often for sightseeing, a i climbing and lunches. "We really roughed it, sleeping in sleeping bags without tents or cots or comforts ol home," Mrs. Nance said. Two girls traveled with the group and did the cooking Breakfast was usually pan cakes, bacon, eggs, sausag and fruits and juices.

Dinner, cooked over the campfire, was a hearty meal, often steak or baked ham. "The food was delicious," she remembers. "We rarely had convenience foods or picnic items." "We were instructed to wear comfortable, durable clothing we could live in. I wore a bathing suit or snorts most of the time. "We had to wear life jackets only when we were crossing rapids," she said.

Travel seems to be safer in the wooden boats than in the rafts or "banana boats." There was no direct communication with anyone on the outside. Once when a man was injured, the guides took all the life jackets and spelled out 0 on a sand bar. The crew in an airplane spotted the signal and directed a helicopter landing to take the injured man to safety. "There was never a time when I was really frightened," Mrs. Nance continued.

"We had such complete confidence in our guides that there was nothing to worry about as long as we followed instructions." "One thing about the trip which impressed rrte," Mrs. Nance said, "was the unspoiled beauty of the canyon. We were asked to leave nothing behind to spoil the'next group's trip." The guides were especially conscientious about keeping the area clean and beautiful. A surprising aspect of the trip was the number of areas of the river which were calm and serene. Most of the pictures one sees are of boats going over the rapids.

But the rapids are only a part of the trip. There are quiet areas of the river and numerous waterfalls which made natural outdoor showers for the group. "This trip was one of the most exciting and enjoyable things I have ever done," Mrs. Nance concluded. MISS JEANNETTE Seely's engagement to Ricky Ray Stubbs is announced by her parents, Mr.

NORMAL HAIR Reg. 112.00 Bleached or Tinted Hair Late Appointments MICHAEL'S Country Gardens More and more Americans are discovering that white and rose wines provide a cooling refreshment and give a lift to dishes they prepare at summer picnics, barbecues and clambakes. Well-chilled, these spirite- ly wines give added zest to weekend outings.

If you really want to cool it. try a sprit- zer, a couple of inches of white or rose in a tall glass with some ice and a twist of lemon or lime. The French add a dollop of Cassis, a liqueur made from currants, to a white Burgundy and call Kir. Andre Crispin of Houston, lead of a large wine importing company offered these uggestions for summer wines. Crispin agreed thai both roses and whites are good candidates for most summer festivities because they are light and refreshing.

An added plus for roses is that they go as well with red meats as with poultry and seafood. A rose is a handy thing to have at a picnic that features a variety of beef, chicken and shellfish sandwiches. "Rose D'Alsace, a very original tasting wine, is great with barbecues," rispin said. "And there is 'avel from Cotes du Rhone, ne of the most famous of Yance. "If you're at a seashore luting, try a rose from Cotes de Provence," Crispin went on.

"It's as much at home at Cod as it is in Cannes. Another perfect seaside wine Entre-Deux-Mers. a dry white Bordeaux that goes well with shellfish. Or try a fruity white chablis." Also recommended was a Macon Blanc, an elegant white burgundy which comes from the French region extending from Dijon to Lyon.

And speaking of fish, the French do wonderful things with sole, or flounder, which is more reasonable in America.
