With only two hours for sleep,
set the alarm clock for a. m.
in order that we might make the
8:15 train for Chicago. We took
the Chicago Northwestern out of
Omaha. A heavy snow was fall
ing, although not very cold. Gee!
how much we regretted not having
more time in Omaha, to see many
good people, many that time just
wouldn't permit. But if we were
to continue our trip as planned it
was our move. We were whisked
to the station, arriving in plenty
of time. Our luggage checked and
next was the call announcing our
train. Almost before we were seat
ed we had sped across the Mis-
souri, river into Council Bluff, Ia.
The city was covered with heavy
blanket of snow, in fact, through
out the entire state and into Him

soon as he was comfortably seat
ed. Mary Ellen and 1 talked I'M
til she began to nod and was soon
fast asleep. I couldn't sleep for
reminiscing; I thought how nice
it was to have a chat with Mr.. L.
L. McVay. He was out of town
on our arrival, but after several
attempts reached us while at din
ner Christmas with the Round
trees. He asked to be remember
ed to his Portland friends.
1 am lamenting not being able
to join the w. L. Myers on Christ
mas day-just know what a grand
time we missed. We owe the How
els on Binny st. a big apology,
promised so faithfully to drop in
for Christmas cheer, but like our
other promises, just couldn't keep
them. Was glad to answer sew
eral inquiries made by the Joseph
Taylors of their Portland friends
and their son Joseph Jr and fami-
ly. Many Omahans asked con-
corning the Harry Hardys. the Cos
kins and Unthanks. Well, so ma
ny things were turned over in my
mind of what we did, people we
saw, as well as things we didn't
do. I thought how nice it was of
our friends to remember us with
gifts. I especially appreciate the
large picture of st. Johns Vested
Choir of so voices, a gift from my
friend, Wilmouth Houston. Then
1 just tried to appease myself by
knowing we are expected back in
Omaha sometime in June.
ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED
Dorothy Scott, my niece, is to
be married. Now that's another
thing that is giving me much con-

the time than Dorothy, bort"
Just then Glen interrupted my
day dreaming, he had awakened.
1t was near lunch time. We spoke
of the vast difference in the seen
cry of the Pacific Cast and West
ern cities; they were bleak, cold,
and smokey with so many factor
les in most of the Illinois towns
and cities. We crossed but few
rivers and streams and they were
all frozen over. Glen went back
to the diner to meet the steward
and dining crew. Presently he
was back to our coach, informing
me that the steward knew me, in
fact, was a former classmate of
mine. Of course, you can imagine
my anxiety and before I could do

War

NEW YORK (CNA) - It is
much better to provide "recrea-

devote resources to placing young

unnecessary war;" Mayor LaGuar-
