Dr. and Mrs. Wes Sanderson and then- two daughters, Kay, 14, and Julie, 12, are recently returned home after a slerran backpack trip of 10 days duration.

The Bakersfield party loafed along making about si miles a day, a leisurely trip which did not exhaust them hut gave them an opportunity to fish where they wished and time to admire the magnificence of the sieiTan scenery. They were 10 days on the trip, eight of which were fine and two during which they had rain. They also encountered some mosquitoes but used effective "fly dope" to repell tliem. Dr. Sanderson said they went hi at North Lake and then over Piute Pass to Humphries Basin.

From the basin they tramped on to the South Fork of the San Joaquin River and Evolution Valley. They surmounted the famous Muir Pass and tlien descended to Leconte Canj'on and then up Dusy Basin and out over Bishop Pass to South Lake. EHiring their mountain journey they caught golden trout in icy water, a veiy acceptable addition to their desiccated foods. They used "dry- lite" food which, with the addition of gave them very good meals. A back packer carries dehydrated rations as ordinary foods are largely water and too heavy for back packing.

The Bakersfield party used aluminum pack frames, light down sleeping b3gs and carried two plastic shelters which came in very handy during the two rainy days. The last half ot the trip was enlivened by the company of a Sacramento family with children. The two parties traveled together. Dr. Sanderson said that at the outset of the trip the girls carried from 25 to 30 pounds as did Mrs.

Sanderson and that he started with 50 pounds. Fortunately In back packtag the load becomes lighter every day as food is consumed. The only untoward incident of the trip occurred when some burros got into the Sanderson food and ate two days' rations but the party made out very well indeed and I am sure the burros enjoyed the snack grazing is iiecoming pretty sparse in some regions of the high sierra. While on this trip" Dr. Sandei-son climbed Mount Spencer which has a summit elevation of 12,400 feet.

A notable trip and all finished hi fhie fettle.

I have just learned recently that Steve Powers, now serving on the Bakersfield Police Department is the son of Mr. and Mrs.

Bob Powers. Bob was the former chief of police here and retired, now lives in the city. Steve, workhig this summer for Bakersfield's fhiest, wUl teach at Foothill High School starting this fall. He will u- struct in Spanish. Steve Powers received his bachelor of arts degree Arizona and his master's degree in Latin American History at the University of Guadalajara, Mexico.

In addition to these formal educational achievements, Steve is a champion at Judo and holds the black belt rating for this defense art which, I imagine could come in very handy in police work on occasion. Steve has been on tlie Street beat during his police tenui-e here.

During its regular quarterly meeting, Walt Disney Productions' board of directors voted full approval and support of the action.

Disney said that plans for the multi-million dollar project are now behig finalized and will be ready for submittal to the Forest Service by the Aug. 31 dead- Une. The Forest Service Issued a prospectus last March to solicit proposals from private investors for the development of a year- round recreation site at Mineral King. Tlie prospectus noted the ever-increasing public demand for whiter sports facilities, especially by the burgeontag Southern California area. "Our whole master plan for this region is based on two very hnportant needs," Disney emphasized.

"First Is the necessity to preserve the gieat natural beauty of the site. That is a must. "Second, we want Mineral King to become a year-round recreational facility for everyone, regardless of age, hicome, leisure time interests or athletic abUities." Disney noted that his plans center around the development of ski lifts and trails, makhig available some ol the longest and most perfect ski runs in North America. Many champion skiers believe they rival any slopes hi the enOre world, ac- cordhig to Disney. WlUy SchaeSler, one of the nation's top ski coaches and ski- faciiity experts, called Mbieral King unsurpassed when it comes to magnitude, terrain and dependable snow.

"Its alpfaie slopes, when fully developed could easily accommodate 15,000 to 20,000 skiers," he said.

The drowning of Mrs. Betty Ann Roberts, 30, 338 West Ash occurred yesterday afternoon in the area of Gordon's Ferry Bridge where Carl William Hughes 21, of Bakersfield on July 1 became the Kem River's other 1965 drowning victim.

Mrs. Roberts was last seen by her fiance, John, Edwards, 24, of Shafter at about 3:45 p.m. yesterday as she was being swept downstream in the swift- flowing current. Her body was recovered at 5:38 p.m. about three-quarters of a mile downstream.

It had bectHne swept up onto a sandbar just above Rocky Point weir, west of the Webster Sand Inc. plant. Recovery was made by the sheriffs department search and rescue team headed by Capt.

According to Young and Deputy Coroner Dick Ambrosuii, the victim and Edwards were wading in shallow water west of the bridge as the woman's tliree children were playing on the south bank. The victhn, the officials said, moved out into water about 15 feet away from Edwards when she was sucked down and swept away so fast that Edwards could do no more than make a grab for her. Edwards told authorities that the last he saw of her was when she was being carried away by the current, about 70 feet away. She was described as being a poor swimmer, if able to swim at all. Edwards then grabbed the three children and took off for the Highway Patrol clubhouse where he called the sheriff's department.

Deputy Sheriff David Fuller, on his first swing downstream hi the search-and-rescue boat, found the body. Young said the vriUrlpool lies near the north bank of the Kem, just out in the river from the sandbar upon which Mrs. Roberts and Edwards had been wading before she slipped off It into deeper water. An inquest, at which Edwards was to be the only witness, was scheduled for 2 p.m. today, see 18 Salinger to Address Kern Club Pierre Saluiger, former U.S.
