Dear Friends
Here we are again, the Dicker-
sons, back In one hundred degree
hot Kansas. We arrived home the
fourth Of this month and every day
since has been typically Kansas
summer weather. II is pretty hard
to take after the wonderful weather
we had for two months in Sacra-
mento.
The 31st of August. HAYES cleared
the base at Mather Field and by
noon we were packed 'solid" in
the station wagon and on our way.
MY wonderful neighbors gave the
children a farewell party, and load
ed our picnic basket up with fruit
and brownies.
From Reno, Navada, to salt Lake
City Utah. which is a distance Of
500 miles, there is Just desert and
even though I was careful to keep
my lips coated with lipstick they
still became quite sunburned. The
children kept us busy giving them
cool drinks, and having another
child" with us we were busy keep
ing him watered and dewatered
namely our Boston Bull. Sambo.
The first night we stayed at Winnie
mucca, Nevada. This is quite a nice
size town, and is surrounded bv
ranches whose main source OF in
come is beef cattle. Bing Crosbys
ranch is between here and Elko and
both towns claim him as their hon
orary mayor.
/ never realized before this trim
how many miles the Salt Beds. in
the Salt, Lake Desert, reached. Ac-
tiVity was great in this area when
we went through because on the
Labor Day weekend they were hav-
ing car races on the salt flats. You
ride down Route 40 for dozens of
miles with nothing on either side
OF the road but coats of white salt
silt.
The explanation Of this bed is:
Centuries ago there was a fresh
water lake where Salt Lake now
stands. This lake, Lake Bonneville.
covered the northwest quarter Of
Utah and was ten times the size
OF Great Salt Lake. II was 1000
Ieet deep and its weight was so
great the earth's crust in the mid
die Of the basin was depressed 168
ieet leaving a shore line still visi-
pie. BY change in climate or bv
volcanic diversion Of the streams
the lake fell below its lowest nat

SCHOOL BEGINS. DRIVE CAREFULLY

Opening of school in Milford and other
delaware communities this week means that
thousands Of children are once more on the
move on highly Travelled streets and highways
and subject to frightening hazards.
For young people this is the most danger
Gus time Of the year, not only because many
nave never had to face traffic alone before
out because the excitement Of returning to
school invariably keys up a large number of
them to point that their actions are un-
predlctable In spite of all restraints and
training some among them will dart out
into the street from behind parked cars or
the midst OF waiting group at q crosswalk.
The responsibility for safeguarding these
youngsters rest, therefore, with parents.
school authorities and crosswalk guards on
the one side and with the motorists on the
other. Every conceivable effort to train the
young epople to be careful must be exerted
put at the same time, it is up to drivers to
exercise maximum of caution-especiall
g hours when children are going or coning
1rom school and especially when near a school
or school bus.
IN the final analysis it is the responsible
adult behind the wheel who must make up
Tor the chllds lack Of comprehension.

Reported Ready 10 Quit
BY The Assoeietsd Press

PARIS, July 80. Gen. Pierre
Koenig. Minister Of Defense in
Pierre Mendes-France's cabinet
was reported today to be think
ing about resigning because OF
policy differences with the
Premier.
Gen. Koenig Is a member Of
the Social Republican Party
which is made up of followers OF
Gen Charles de Gaulle. If he
does resign, it is not believed the
move will endanger the life OF
the government.
Gen. de Gaulle and Gen.
Koenig were described ais being
opposed to, the Indo- Chinese
peace settlement which Mr..
Mendes- France worked out at
Geneva. Another thing that
seemed to irk the two was Mr.,
ndes-France's decision to call
in leaders Of the General Fed
Grafton of Labor to talk about
economic reform measures he is
preparing. The federation is
Communist dominated, and Gen
de Gaulle is otter enemy Of
the Communists.
