POWERSITE DAM, near Forsyth, Missouri, pictured

above, had not been constructed back in 1912, there

never would have been a Lake Taneycomo. Nor would

there have been any Southern Ozark resorts in this sec-

tion. For the dam holds back the waters of the White

River creating the 24-mile-long Lake Taneycomo. Here

you have your choice of fishing, boating, hiking, riding,

tennis or golf. You may stay at any of the resort hotels

or cabins at such nearby places as Cedar Point, Rock-

away Beach, Electric Park, Ozark Beach or Edgewater

Beach. The power generated from the dam, which is

1,700 feet long and 52 feet high, is used to light homes

for many miles around.

Eureka Springs Carnival

N ARTS movement, enveloping the Ozarks, centers in

Eureka Springs, Arkansas, where the annual Ozark

Empire District Fair is held August 9th-15th. Students

from seven to 77 years of age come from as far north

as Minnesota to attend summer courses and display

their works at the exhibits. Some enterprising artists

turn out quick sketches of bystanders for 25 cents a

head. Last summer, one native was heard to inform

another, "You can git your map struck for two bits."

The above picture of Eureka Springs Carnival was

painted by Bess Mulholland. For other examples of

Ozark art see "Resurrection of Eureka Springs."

RALPH HULETT, whose self-caricature

appears above, travelled to the Mojave

Desert for the TIMES and painted the

watercolors which appear with "Hot Rods

at El Mirage". In those pictures he has cap-

tured a whole day's activity with the hot rods.

Though born in Illinois in 1915, Mr.

Hulett has lived in California since he was a

- small boy. His exhibitions in that state have

been extensive and his watercolors have won

several awards. In addition to his activities

as a watercolorist, he has worked since his art

school training at the Walt Disney Studios.

MARGUERITE LYON writes a weekly

feature for a Chicago newspaper titled

"Fresh From the Hills" under the pen name

of Marge of Sunrise Mountain Farm. Her

articles on the Ozark hill country deal with

everything from mountain folk and their

favorite recipes to art. She has written

several books and only recently retired to

Eureka Springs after a successful career as a

copywriter with a Chicago advertising agency.

One of those jobs we'd all like to have

belongs to ANDREW H. HEPBURN,

travel editor of Look magazine, and an

occasional contributor to the Saturday

Evening Post and Rotarian. His assign-

ments require him to search out and photo-

graph beautiful sections of the country and

otherwise encourage travel-which has made

Hepburn an authority on remote points of

tourist interest in the United States.

Almost every radio listener and movie-goer

knows that BOB BURNS was born in

Van Buren, Arkansas. In spite of Bob's

Ozark drawl, this beautiful section of the

country is no longer as rustic as Bob makes

out, and rumor has it that some of his

favorite "uncles" may even be members of a

local art colony.

HOT RODS AT EL MIRAGE

by Melvin Beck

paintings for the TIMES by Ralph Hulett

NEARLY

EARLY 11 years have passed since a group of California

speed fans formed an organization to inject order into the

disordered sport of coaxing maximum speeds out of pepped-up

used cars.

Today that organization, the Southern California Timing

Association, can take credit for a new national sport: the time

trial running of Hot Rods.

Hot Rod clubs are springing up in all parts of the country;

Miami has a group of speed lovers who may make that city a

sort of second national headquarters of the sport. Most of

these new clubs are patterning their rules after the S.C.T.A.'s

by-laws simply because the Californians had the good sense

to base them on a rigid safety code.

Because of its insistence on safety, S.C.T.A. has managed to

turn an early public disapproval of the sport into fairly gen-

eral acceptance at present. This its members consider to be

the Association's greatest achievement, even greater than the

near-150 mph runs being made at their dry-lake trials.

Most S.C.T.A. meets are held just after dawn on Sunday

mornings because the cool air gives the cars extra speed. So,

many of the members make a weekend of it by driving out to

El Mirage dry lake on Saturday and camping overnight.

The painting, top left, shows some of the Hot Rod drivers

talking shop around their mesquite fire. The car in the fore-

ground was built up from a 1927 Model T chassis and carries

a V-8 engine. It holds the Class C record at a speed of 136.055

mph. The painting below shows the far end of the lake where

the Hot Rods await their turns for the warm-up run and

speed test.
