"IN LIE AR FORCE"
By Eloine townsend Dickerson

other hill was called "Cross Noun
tain" since a cross had been erect
ed there over 100 years ago in
memory Of a I4-year-old girl who
bad been scalped there by the In
dams. A wild west town it must
have been when it's German immi-
grants settled there, but now a
friendly town that we fell in love
with at first sight.
We had breakfast at Junction.
Texas, and found that town full of
hunters with their guns. Some had
saddles slung over the sides of their
trucks, and the windows full Of
stuffed game of previous years.
In west Texas there were mail
boxes scattered miles apart along
the road and way back in the hills
you could see a tiny ranch house.
How men ever get women to live
in those deserted hills I'll never
know. Towns would be so miles
or more apart and then they would
consist of two filling stations. a
run down general store and Mexi-
can mud huts. Rarely would there
be any telephone lines and when
there were, they would be hung on
crudely made poles that would GER
tainly blow down during strong
winds. Near Bakersfield, Texas. we
saw two cowboys herding sheen and
after we had driven through them
we met a cowboy ahead of the herd
who told us there were about 1000
sheep there and that they were
moving them to better pasture.
They had been on the road five days
and said they would reach their
destination in about two more
weeks. They had chuck wagon
from their home ranch that kept
them supplied. with food.
/ have heard stories about West
Texas, and all of them we're only
half true We travelled 500 hun
dred miles today and we saw miles
and miles of vast stretches of
NOTHING. Hills and hills and
hills with nothing on them but sage
brush, earth covered and embedded
with rocks, and yet each ranch"
/ was enclosed with fences. It seem.
ed such a waste of wire and posts
to me, but Hayes said back in those
hills were sheep, cattle, ETC., that
the ranch was protecting, but
which the traveller along the road
would not often see.
From Fort Stockton on, there is
little to tell you about the scenery
because we saw nOne-we were
blinded by dust storm, a good
old Texas dust storm.
Here in FL Paso we are STAYING
at the Del Camino Courts. three
miles east of down town. 1t is a
Duncan Hines, three A, and a
member of the Best Western Mo-
tells, so you can see we're nicely
settled again for another night.
This motel is the second largest
one in the world, the largest being
in San Francisco.
Tomorrow we will walk across
the Rio Grande River into Ciudad
Juarez, Mexico. Guess I'd better
tell you about that next week. huh?
So, as the stop signs say here in
El PasO, I'd better alto"
Always,

mountain range near Van Horn.

Dear Friends:
In case any of you are interested,
and I hope some of you are, our
forwarding address is not the
above, but Box 6309, Mather AFB,
Sacramento, California.
Now! Friday night, Ted, my bro
ther, and Laurence Sharp took we
three Dickerson gals to Washing
ton, d. c.. to get our Constellation
plane to Houston One of the last
sights I saw of the east coast was
the Capital in Washington, all spot
lighted at 10 p. m. just before we
went to the National Airport. And
in front we could see where they
were building the platform for Els
enhower's big day, January the
goth.
We said our last good-byes, board
ed the plane and sat there in WASH
ingtOn one hour while they repair
ed an engine, which was certainly
NOT a nice way to start our fight,
was It? Our only stop enrOute to
! Houston was in Atlanta, Georgia,
where we were held up three hours
because Of bad weather. The fam
! lily at home expected a call from
me from Texas at $50 a. m. when
our plane was supposed to land,
/ instead my call went through at
$3.50, and you can imagine what
IcOmmOtiOn that caused in Milford
with our parents.
Hayes had been sleeping in the
airport for four hours waiting for
our arrival, so our early part of
the trip was certainly a flop. We
landed, shed our hats, coats, snow
suits, looked the kids over, and out
from under their bOnnets popped
blonde curls that we would have
just loved for the grandparents to
see the 20 days we were home. OH!
well, guess they were loved just the
same. We headed for Austin and
finally landed in Fredericksburg,
Texas.
The town was a small country
town of S,847 population, but the
minute we arrived there we knew
we would like it, We were very
lucky in finding two rooms at a

We ate a good dinner at the
Ranchers' Inn and then looked ovel
our hometown for the night. Right
in the heart of the main street was
small white house that was sOOr
pointed out to us as being the
birth place of Admiral Chester w
Nimitz. Heading for the local no
tel for some more postcards for my
collection we learned that the hOte
was built by Adm. Nimitz's grand
father and most of his relatives
still live in the town. The village
was surrounded by tall hills. / call

ANOTHER PRIORITY NEEDED
Perhaps we are seeing things un-
der the bed, but the pOstponement
of President-elect EisenhOWer's
trip to Korea, and the growing list
of pre-inaugural conferences that
are being lined up for him, are dis
turbing. At this writing, he would
seem to be effectively tied down at
home until early December. One
more month, which could easily be
filled with important" duties, and
Inaugural Day would be upon him.
And after that, Korea would be out
of the picture.
Considering that there are those
who would like to sabotage this
trip, we hope General Ike is keep
ing firmly in mind the fact that the
American people consider that
nothing he has undertaken to do is
more important . .. and is keeping
one eye on the calendar too.
There was a report that Ike
would eat his Thanksgiving din
ner with the CTS in Korea. Now he
is scheduled to meet in New York
with Senator Alexander Wiley
/ (Rep) of Wisconsin, a member of
the UN General Assembly, during
the week of November 25th. 1t
would seem to us that such a meet
ing would be far more profitable
and constructive after the Korean
trip than before. And to have our
most beloved military leader and
up-c0ming President on Korean
soil November 9th would give
those Americans who are doing the
fighting and bleeding and dying at
least something to be thankful for.
