ployed as stenographer in the fed
erai migration Office here, who va
Gated Omaha several months ago for
her home in San Diego, Cal, follow

live than California, regardless OF
the widely lleralded coast climate"

duties as stenographer under the di-
rection OF Viii NJ. Brashear, the

transferred to the Minneapolis terri
tory.
Miss Nelson learned to love Oma-
lta" during her stay here last sum
mer. The city was an ideal place
until Jack Frost's initial visit in the
fall. Then visions of home, the land
of "sun and flowers" haunted her
dreams. Soon the seasons first
snow followed, and Miss Nelson con-
csudcd the wintry blasts were beyond
her. She asked to be transferred to
California. The request was granted.
: Now comes Miss Nelson back in
the conviction that Omaha is the
very best place on earth in which to
live.
