six O'Clock in the morning. We view
ed the Falls from Goat Island Then
most of our party went to church,
while others went on to Buffalo.
After church We had lunch, then

shown over the city and American
side of tn Falls, then taken over
to Canada. At the Canadian end of
the bridge we had to get out of
our cars, to let the customs officers
see that none of US were smugglers.
We enjoyed long drive on the
Canadian side, where the scenery
was grand and it was perfectly love
ly.

boat Robert Fulton and had lovely
ride down the Hudson All the states
gave their state yells
and sang their. state songs, and
Idaho was not in the background.

Where fruit and potatoes
Grow the best
In the golden sunshine

cur headquarters, the Great North
