Kiwanians Hear
Tales of Big Bend
Varying climatic conditions, lim
ited tourist accommodations, lime
stone deposits dating from 50 mil
lion years ago, oysters as big as
ten feet square, and a green rattle
snake that died after biting Dr. W.
B. Davis were the principal fea
tures of a talk on the Big Bend
National Park given by Dr. Wal
ter B. Taylor Tuesday before the
College Station Kiwanis Club.
Dr. Taylor told the Kiwanians
that the Big Bend park was a State
Park until June, 1944, when it be
came the only National Park in
Texas. The area is most famous
as a “geological museum”, he said,
although the wide range of climat
ic conditions between the high *and
low levels of the region makes for
a wide variety of wildlife, both
plant and animal. Referring to the
region as a “country of moods”,
Taylor said that the weather is
often dry and arid and sometimes
cold and foggy.
J. W. Sorrenson was introduced
as a new member of the club.
