Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-06-29

before that it was no degrees hot
when we were there. It was there
that we saw a bird in the zoo peckinS
away on a large flint rock. The bird
was about the size of a dove. We
thought the extreme heat had driven
him crazy. FTe was pecking away on
the rock and stamping his feet. We
were much relieved when it was ex-
planned to us that he was knocking
fire out of the rock and stepping on
the fire to keep his feet warm. Rev.
r. e. Brown, of Henderson, can tell
YOU all about this bird as he came
from Texas.
Francisco. There are 10000 Rotar-
ians here from ali over the world,
England Africa, China. There is
large passenger ship named "Chichi-
bu" lying in the harbor. The Japs
gave us a reception on this boat yes
terday afternoon and served ice
cream. cake, and tea to eight thou
sand people. We saw the lady Japs
in costume. 1 saw an "obi" not in a
cross WORD puzzle, where it is usually
found in America, but upon the back
of a Japanese lady. 1t is a dislocated
hustle The Japs were most friendly.
Oh, yeah!
My trip will have cost me $500. If
this is an average then the cost to all
attending the convention will be six
million dollars. This does not include
the cost of staging the convention.
There are so many Rotarians here
that no building or hall can hold
them all at one time. They tried it
and failed. The convention is being
held in sections, according to CLASH
fications. I have not attended any
meetings. My business is trying to
raise % pigs and having 10 to die. I
cannot find any classification to COW
err my status.
I did attend the Rotary presidents
ball. Some six thousand people, all
standing, so crowded that when the
presidents party entered it was
hardly noticed and received small APP
plausa. l had no idea that Rotary
was so great an organization. 1 have
not seen a single drunk or even near
drunk
But back to the climate. The hot
test time of the year in San Francis
co is midday in July. The coolest is
in late afternoon in July. So the hot
test and coolest occur on the same
day. After that night and day even
up somewhat and are pleasant.
On our arrival. Sunday DR.. Isabella
Perry born and reared in Henderson,
now doctor of more than local repu-
tation, a specialist in tumors, met US
and took US to ride over the city. She
took us to Seal Rock. At this place in
the harhor there are two large rocks
out in the water. One is occupied by
seals and the other by birds. These
rocks are close together but the birds
and seals do not mix at all. We ate
supper here at a noted eating place.
Through the large windows looking
out on the water we saw the sun set
To see the sun set in the Golden
Gate while the orchestra is playing
"The End of a Perfect Day" is one
of the sights of America and a bene-
diction to any one. DR.. Perry took
US to her home. You should see it, a
small cottage nesting up against the
mountain side and overlooking the
city, very attractive by day or night.
1t reminds me of a wrens nest snug
ly nesting against the hill. She is
most interesting and charming wo-
man.
Monday we went down in China
town where there are more Chinese
than any other place in the wor!1
outside of China. I do not know how
to start. I was most interested in
