ut such is not the case, though
Die here who are river-minded.
ever, the thought has stuck with us
and here, in Omaha, we found a
tentmaker who would make us one
cheaply.
Neither of us know a thing about
sailing, but, then, we've learned a
lot of things on this trip that we
didn't know before, so there Is no
reason why we can't learn to do
that.
VIII Try Sailing
All along the way we have had
dire warnings of what would hap
pen to us if we used any kind of
sail in the strong current of the
Missouri. Others argued that one
would be useless because of the
many bends that keep shifting the
wind. Many just dismissed the
thought with the statement that
we're crazy anyhow, so we might
as well drown ourselves that way
as any other.
Our sail is just tiny little thing
that shouldn't do us too much
damage. If we get caught in one of
those sudden gusts that are so
common along the river. Some
where along the way We'll have to
cut our own mast and figure out
some way to hook the boom to it.
You canoe sailors will get hearty
laugh when we tell you that our
tiny bit of canvas is only five feet
high and three feet wide.
Go On Radio
But. with our inexperience, we
think that is quite enough until we
learn something about handling it.
1t is only few square feet of cam
vas, but we were afraid of anything
larger with these winds.
Our start was scheduled for
Monday, but we woke up to cloudy
skies and intermittent showers and
temperatures very much like Ia
coma in winter.
With everything up to date, there
wasn't much for us to do, so when
Foster May, one of the originators
of the Man on the Street" pro-
gram, called US up in the after
noon we We're free to go to the
radio station WOW.
His regular program is at 12:45
and he wanted to use us on his pro-
gram the next day. But, inasmuch
as we planned our start for the
next morning. our interview was
transcribed for use then.
Radio Man Has Idea
May is one of the outstanding
radio personalities of the middle
west and his regular program is
noted for its unusualness. He has
broadcasted from all over the world
on his noon program, so he is con-
tinually on the lookout for the
unusual.
At dinner that night the thought
struck him that 1t would be quite
stunt to broadcast our start the
next morning from the canoe and
then to broadcast our landing in
Plattesmouth late in the afternoon.
We are, naturally, always willing
for new experiences. so we readily
agreed to put ourselves into his
hands. So that night we We're put
on his program at 1918 as build
up for the broadcast the next day.
Rain Goes Away
Everything depended on the
weather the next day and when we
were awakened early in the MORN
ing we were disappointed to find
it raining.
However, We are great believers
in the old axiom, Rain before
seven; stop before eleven" It
didn't let us down.
By eight o'clock only fine driz-
zle was falling and when Mr.. May
picked US up few minutes later,
it had stopped entirely and there
were blue patches in the sky, and,
wonder of wonders, a strong tail
wind.

idea to have a representation of
