enjoyable one. Kho experienced
considerable difficulty Monday

starting, she thought it would be
better fo follow the highway so

north from the Island City bridge
the drifts were so bad the ear could
not get through. Ho the only thing

Hummerville by the high winds of
Sunday, that it was necessary to
