DREAM DAYS
OF BOY HERO
NEARING END
Colorado Youth, Guest of
Hoover, Is Ready for
Return Home.
AVIATION IS HIS GOAL
Lad Informs President He
Doesn't Intend to Stay
in Farm 0bSCurity.

United Press stan COrrcsponGent

WASHINGTON May 2. - The
cream is almost over for Bryan
Untiedt.
Like his only counterpart, Gin
derella, he will step through the
glass doors Of the White House to-
day after three days of hobnobbing
with a President and a king He
will return TO his plain home in the
Colorado COW country, where candy
is luxury and milking the daily
thrill
But the 13-year-old hero of a
snowbound school bus is packing
away with his harmonica and his
Knockers an idea that he is going to
do something more than milk COWS
the rest OF his life
He has conhded in the President
and his new-found associates a de-
cision that he is not going to drop
back into the obscurlty Of farm
boys life.
Aviation His Goal
His inclinations are in the direc-
ton of aernonautics, and his pres
ent ambition is to become a pilot or
a mechanical engineer.
It is just possible Mr.. Hoover
has decided to do something to
further the lads hopes, but White
House officials decline to discuss the
matter. They also are silent con-
corning the time Of his departure,
but he is going directly to Denver.
Mr.. Hoover put his foot down on
any idea that the might 60 on to
New York, although he received
many invitations.
Floyd Gibbons personally asked
the lad to come to visit him, but
Untiedt declined. at Mr. Hoover's
request. The President feels he is
personally responsible for the boys
safe return. He has designated a
secret service man to 60 along.
Fishing Trip Of
Mr.. Hoover hoped to be able TO
take Untiedt to the Rapidan on
fishing trip over the weekend, but

for Monday before the International

President to remain in Washing
ton.
While all the White House Off
Gals will be sorry to see Untiedt
go, the one who will feel it most
is Peggy Ann Hoover, 6year-old
granddaughter of the President.
She has been lonesome for play
mates for the last six months, and
she found a playmate as we'll as a
hero in Untiedt.
Tagging along after him wherever
he went, she listened enraptured
while he played the harmonica or
told her stories of life in Colorado.
He has promised to write to her,
but she can not be sure. Boys
sometimes forget.

given last month that it was decided

not will be optional. Like the prev
ious dance there will be dances both

E. 5. Worthy
Matron Honored

On Friday, November 6, Mrs Eliza
beth Hearst was invited to have lunch
at the home of Mrs. Axel Petersen.
Upon her arrival she found all but two
of her officers of the Eastern Star.
All were seated at very daintily ap-
pointed liable which was graced with
a beautiful centerpiece Of yellow flow
ers, yellow candles, favors and some
of the food even helped to make sum
shine for what, out side, was dark
and gloomy day. A luncheon fit for
king was enjoyed by all, each officer
doing her bit of the cooking.
Accidentally the telephone called
Mrs. Hearst from the table. When she
returned she found that while the
sunshine seemed as brightly as when
she left, sudden shower had come up
which filled her chair with basket
full of packages-the first she had
realized that the party had been ar
ranged in her honor. Upon opening
the packages she found each officer in
her chapter had presented her with
dainty handkerchief, each with a
little verse which caused great deal
of mirth. After lunch a coo-coo board
aided digestion to marked degree.
1t was indeed day of mirth and
good fellowship most enjoyable.
The only regret shared by all pres
ent, was that Mrs. Bowling and MIS-
K. Van House were unable to be pres
ent, the former on account of he.
duties at the post office, the latter
being in the city at the bedside OF
her husband, who is in hospital
there.

P. I. A. To Stage
Paper Drive Monday

The Vashon Grammar School P. T.
A, met on Tuesday. The members
decided to concentrate on the paper
drive, commencing the first of next
week and continuing until the We'd
nesday before Thanksgiving. Papers
and magazines may be left in the
school gym. A. T. Bacchus has kind
ly consented to haul the papers to
the city. Anyone having papers and
no way to get them to the school are
asked to call Mrs H. G. Cronander.
Among other matters Of business,
plan whereby the gym could be heated
during the cold, damp months was
proposed. This was unanimously and
enthusiastically accept ed by the
members who were willing to finance
the work and its acceptance depends
now only on the directors. The plan
is not to heat the gym more than
few degrees, just enough to change the
air and dry out the place regularly.
1t is believed that this can be done
by utilizing waste heat and at very
little additional fuel cost.
A general discussion of program
suggestions. ways and means, ETC., was
followed by social half-hour during
which Mrs. John Marshal and Mrs.
Hubert Spalding served tea and cake.
