YOUTHS, TRAVELLING GLOBE, STOPPING
! Walk From New Orleans In FiiOe And One Hall
NOWHERE LONG, REMAIN in KEY WEST

Sometimes the reporter deals
with the news that a dog bites
a man, sometimes he definitely
ascends to the heights of repor-
torial ecstasy by recording the
details of a man biting a dog and
sometimes he swims in rhapsody
into seventh heaven by getting
a feature of feature stories.
Such story is that surround
ing two young men, Walker B,
Peck and James T. Heltzel, who
have travelled practically over
the entire world, through every
state of the union and the adj
joining foreign nations, and have
never stopped anywhere over two
weeks. Do you know what hap
pened when they arrived in Key
West? You guessed it. They've
decided to remain heret
The pair have been IN town
since January 5. Walker may
make this city a permanent place
of residence and James viii be
here at least another four months
and perhaps longerl
Heltzel was student officer on
steamship line out of Seattle
and travelled over the world in
that manner. Peck went over the
foreign countries by rail, car, boat
and other manners. The two, be-
fore they met each other, have
travelled the British Isles, Egypt,
India, Europe. During the last
three years they have done moth
ing but walk, and have gone
through every state in the Union,
Mexico, Canada, the Yukon Ter
tory, and last year at this time
were travelling through Mexico.
They stress very much that those
trips were strictly hiking with
not the slightest tinge of ''hitch"
hiking to them.
They made the trip from New
Orleans to Key West. an eleven
hundred mile trek. in five and 9

half weeks with a few stops IN
that period. Their lowest mileage
in day was five. the highest, the
amazing total of 81. These facts
and others are all recorded in q
log book the young men carry.
Their purpose In travelling
through the world is to see all the
interesting highlights of the good
old sphere. Nothing of historic
or romantic interest is passed up.
This particular trip was planned
as a southern Florida trip, and
they felt they could not miss Key
West since they had heard SO
much of the little Island City.
Heltzel is from Salem, Oregon;
Peck from Denver. Colorado. The
latter was trained as a civil engi-
neer, but has since become much
more interested in writing, and
has contributed several human
interest articles to magazines
Sometime. he says. it is his hope
to be a really good writer. Heltzel.

no difficulty in passing through

Asked how they overcame the
language barriers. they said that
the less one knows of another

The group of pottery and cera-

represents one of the less widely
known phases of WPA Federal
Art Project work. Three relative
ly large pieces Of sculpture allow
the visitor to compare the most
decorative styles suitable to small
figures with the plastic values
which are of paramount import
ance in work on large scale. The
emphasis in this display, however,
is upon the skill and individual
ity attained in ceramic art under
the WPA Federal Art Project as
part of a program giving the
arts and crafts their natural
healthy place in creative express
sion.
Pottery. ranging in style from
very simple bowls glazed in a
single tone to deftly characterize

Rev. Shehane Gives Address.
At Rotary Meeting Yesterday

Speaking on the responsibility
resting with a father to see that
a son or daughter receives the
most benefit through life, Rev.
Yancy Tillman Shehane gave a
moving address at the Rotary
Club luncheon yesterday, presid-
ed over by President Charles Tay-
lor.
'The youth places a real trust
in his or her father, Rev. She
hane said, ito give him or her the
greatest opportunity possible. It
is in the nature of every person
to advance oneself along the best
lines as far as possible. A father
has the opportunity in his son to
60 much further than he was able
to go. Every care and attention
must be given the son to see that
he has every chance. Nothing
under what the father has had
should be carelessly left in the
son.
This generation has the great
est opportunities of any genera
ton, Rev Shehane stated, "but
equally il has the greatest pit
falls. Only the proper advice and
example should be given the boy
that he will avoid the wrong
paths. Every boy initiates some
admired man, wants to be like
him, why should not the father
be that mann"
