trip to the states crowded with de- Hghtful visits with relatives and old friends. many or whom formerly lived in Wrangell They visited first their daughter and son-in-law, MT. and Mrs. E. R. Sharnbroieh, in Port Angeles.
 Leaving Nrangell on March I5,a Mrs. Johnson said on her return, we disembarked at Victoria and ferried To Port Angeles remaining there until March D, when we mo- tored with Marjorie, Dick and Bar eafa Lee to Seattle stopping al Olympia to visit the capitol and to cal on Mrs Belle Reeves. Secretary or State for Washington, whom l had not seen for 3S years.
 Al steflaeoom a call was made on Mrs Carl Carlson and in Tacoma We called on other friends and were quests al the home of Mrs Don Cam eron for dinner; Spent the night tuere and at the home of Mrs. E. E Harvey. All were well and the Cam erous have their own home and
 
 Seattle the next morning, We spent an hour with Mrs. Boriand and just as We were leaving Mrs. Jack Guek- CT arrived In Seattle We made our home with Mr. and Mrs E. B. Mitchell, where my mother lives, going rom there Tor various jauntss
 The Johnsons' longest trip was in- .u southern Oregon where they drove o4Ih the Sharnbroichs. leaving Se- alae on March 2s. The weather was 1CIu and they ran into three snOW storms enroute. Southbound, they s41nf tAe night in Eugene and ar raed next day al the 0. C. Palmer pear ranch about six miles out Of uedford. The visit was a complete surprise as a letter of warning had .a4Ied to arrive.
 The Palmers have a beautiful lo- oauon overlooking the entire valley oI orchards. Mrs. Johnson states. The. season was backward and the weather cool. Miss Beatrice Palmer, who teaches in Grants Pass, was. enjoying the spring vacation at. home and Carl Palmer happened to. be at home too, for few days.
 Needless to say" Mrs. Johnson explained, wherever a visit was made To former Wrangellites, the conversation never languished.
 They remained with the Palmers over night, visited Medford and thel big airport the next morning and then headed North. In the back of the car was box Of pears from thel Tanner orchard. taken from theI warehouse at Medtord for a parting git. These pears stored green ripen Tn a few days when exposed to roomI temperature and were delicious.
 The weather had improved great ly and the trip through the noun talns was beautiful. They stayed atl oalem that night and instead of pay ing a visit to pr. and Mrs. Snod-I grass whose very attractive place Is on the highway north Of Salem, as had been planned, the trip was continued because Of Barbara Lee who had awakened that morning with a rash all over her body. This proved later to be food poisoning instead Of something contagious, but by that time they were on their way to Portland where they arrived in time for a lunch with MT. and Mrs. Gurr and Miss Cecilia Gurr and spent a delightful day sightseeing and visiting.
 The night was spent at Vancouy-. CT, Washington, and the return toI Seattle was begun the following morning. Enroute, a call was made on MT. and Mrs Trubshaw, parents of Mrs. J. C. Johnson, who conduct ed them around the attractive Trub- shaw Nurseries which are located at Lacy, a short distance from Olympia.
 .Marjory and Diek,. Mrs. John- son continued, returned to Port Angeles from Seattle and we had two more visits there later, going part way by ferry when not mak- ing the entire trip around the Olym- pie peninsula by car. The drives out from Port Angeles are many and beautiful and trips were made into the mountains, to the Olympic Hot Springs where a delightful day of picnicking and swimming was en- joyed by eight Sharnbroichs and two Johnsons, and to Moro Beach where the ocean waves dashed high and the air was decidedly cold, as well as to all the outlying towns. We were guests one afternoon of Mrs. Louis Smith Virginia Tozier) and little daughter and Mrs. Tozier, and met there Mrs. James Cole (Irene Tozier), MT. Cole and their daughter. MT Cole was to leave the next day for Bristol Bay with the Coast Guard for signal duty with the nlane that will patrol that re-
