The Cedar Rapids Guette: March 196S the advice they are getting from non-party workers. Legion Program You and Iowa Robertson. John fit Good Tate THE Louis Bartacheks 1 of the culinary arts, wo anniversary in style this year. They'H be going to Hawaii in April. Earlier, the Bartacheks had planned no celebration of their anniversary although Louis had his eye on a couple of days fishing in Minnesota.

However, now they'll celebrate In style thanks to Louis' culinary ability. He is one of 25 finalists in a Kaiser Aluminum Foil cooking contest and as such is entitled to the Hawaiian trio and a chance to win a cook-out championship hi the Ale-Ale-Kai garden of the Hilton-Hawaiian Village. His winning recipe is a main dish meal cooked On a grill in (of course) Kaiser Aluminum Foil. The details are, understandably secret. The Bartacheks are a champion cooking family.

Louis won the state championship in a potato chip contest in 1960 and again in 1962. Mrs. Helen, was a 1951 Pillsbury grand national bake-off finalist in New York. Their son, Jerry, now student at State College, was a finalist in the 1960 Pillsbury bake-off and was a regional winner in the 1962 Pyrofax- gas teen-age scholarship baking contest The Bartacheks' two daughters, Karen, director of bands in West Central schools at Maynard, and Judy, a teacher at Vinton, also are accomplished cooks. A Good Appetite SPEAKING of food, Lecil Miller, retired North Eng-.

lish hardware man, is eating well and feeling fine these days for the first time in years. He recently read about a new treatment for ulcers which involves having the stomach "frozen." Miller was very interested and immediately wrote the University of Minnesota named in the article about it It turned out, however, that such procedures are being used at the University of Iowa. He entered University hospitals early this month and after tests it was decided the freezing method would help him. He was conscious all during the procedure. He first swallowed a balloon, a trick he admitted was rather difficult, and then refrigerated absolute alcohol was pumped in and out of the balloon.

Ih five minutes, his stomach was frozen. He said he got pretty cold during the treatment, especially for the hour his stomach was being held at 6 degrees below zero. After the hour was up, the balloon was removed and he was allowed 20 minutes to defrost. He was allowed to eat supper two hours later. Garotte photo by Lirrv Tanner WEED PATCH NOW, BUT On.

of th. areas th. city expects to develop is Donnelly park in northwest Marion. The park, 12 acres in sie, was given to the city by Mrs. M.

J. Donnelly, wife of the late Cedar Rapids attorney. The city is starting a long-range planning program for parks. Dog Crackdown To Begin Check Shows Few Parks in Qity History By Larry Tanner THE city government's de-1 cision to prepare a long-range park program initiates an effort to solve a long standing problem in Marion. Lack of park and other recreational facilities in recent years has been caused by rapid growth, city officials and other residents point out.

A search through the history of this city shows it to be one with few parks. The only park of any consequence, prior to the efforts of the Marion Woman's club in opening Thomas park, is the city square. The square was laid in 1839 in the first plat of Marion, according to Marvin Oxley's "History of In his four volumes 1 mentions the city park as the only one of any consequence. Was Fenced In "During the two teams of Mayor Jake Davis, brick walks and ornate iron seats were built in the city sauare." That was in 1872. Twelve years later the old board fence around the park was removed.

The fence had turnstiles at each corner to allow residents to enter. The fence kept the livestock out of the park, the history says. A plank walk was built park and a row of hitching posts was constructed on the east side. The livestock problem has since switched from horses and cattle to does. Eighty-three years after the city park was platted in the original survey of Mar ion.

a second park was opened to the public. This one consisted of a somewhat larger piece of real estate. Thomas park land was purchased in 1921 and after a thorough clean-up, supervised by the Marion Woman's club, was opened in 1922. Thomas park's 13 acres were purchased for $6,500, which would buy only Sev- ral nrrp tnrlav It has heen $5 Pickup Fee of Belle masters will celebrate their thirtieth through regular party channels." Governor Hughes declined to comment on the situation when asked by The Gazette other than to say he has nev er been subjected to such tre mendous pressures from both sides In any similar matter. Cedar Rapids civic and business leaders were sorely disappointed when the chance for the highway com mission appointment fell through.

i They gave strong support to Bickel and equally strong support to the three Linn county Democrats whose names were on a list submitted by Chairman Lillios to the governor on March 4 Their names were never made public by the governor or party officials.
