 Bryan is coming back to tn: country where a few weeks ago he was trapped with 19 others in blizzard bound school bus. Five of his small companions died of the cold. He was credited with saving the lives of the others.
 Now one of the nations best known boys. Bryan, will find him self a hero even to his home folks and it appeared today that most of them will be at the train to greet him.
 The manner in which he conduct ed himself at Washington has won him almost as much praise among rGnchers and shopkeepers here as his heroism in the blizzard, when he sacrificed almost all of his clothes to keep other children warm.
 Bryan has been offered a trip around the world by a New York moving picture company. He has been offered vaudeville contracts at S1,000 a week. and has had half dozen other offers of financial gain through exploitation of his name.
 But there will be none of that, says his parents. who have decided flatly against all such. offers.
 "We do not want him to live on the honor of the nation," said his mother. Mrs H. A. Untiedt, who lost another son in the bus tragedy.
 We want him to be real man through his own efforts and thus be entirely worthy of the honor President Hoover has bestowed up- on him." .,t .fFJa
