...just before the Presidential election, Joe Strecker passed a Negro church in Hot Springs, saw a white woman addressing a black & white audience of about 50. Communism was her theme. Joe remembers she told how bread and oranges were being cast into the sea by capitalists to hike prices. When the collection was taken up, Joe tossed in 60/. He must have signed something because he soon received a membership book from Kansas City headquarters of the Communist Party, with six 10^ dues stamps affixed and a handbill urging William Zebulon Foster for President.

...named to commemorate the feat of Achille Ratti and a fellow priest, Monsignor Luigi Grasselli, two of the most adventurous mountain climbers in Italian history, who first blazed the trail in 1890.
