As I drove by face after face lit up at the sight of a girl out there in the middle of nowhere and the least I could do was to return their greetings that's why my arm was tired." After describing the beautiful country around Globe, the letter takes up the trip back to Berkeley, full of thrills and adventure! " .... I had a plane reservation to fly back on Monday. I called Sunday to see If my reservation was still good and they said they hadn't a place on the plane yet I was quite a way down the wait ing list, my 'reservation' was only an application for a reservation! So I decided I'd better take the train. out that evening. I left Phoenix at 5:30 p. m. on the moat delapidated chair ear you can fnv aglne. It was one of those of very old vintage with straight red plush seat, which hadn't been cleaned since 1919, and 'it stunk. . , . Right across from me was light colored Negro who had been beaten unconscious by some loot suiters In Phoenix. When he was tent Ho the county hospital they wouldn't accept him, as he didn't belong to the county, . so they merely bandaged his head, put him on the train for the Santa Fe hos pital in Los Angeles as he was an employe of the company. One ear was practically gone and his jaw was fractured in two place. He moaned and groaned and eauea upon the Heavenly Father all night. "At 3 a. m. we got to tne mam line where the train comes through from Chicago. It was in the mid dle of nowhere, and the engine, diner, and conductors left us there and went back to Phoenix. The main line train was to pick us up. It finally did at ten o'clock In the morning, Did that breakfast taste good. "There had been a wreck near "Barstow, and when we got there the trains were piled up thick. We arrived about noon (we were sup posed to have been there at 5:30 a.m.) and were told there was no train going north until six that night I've never been in such a mob. Several train loads of soldiers were kept drilling on the platform all day so people could at least move in the station. The restaurant was closed for train employes only. So I set out to walk into the town of Barstow in the Mojave desert. Was it hot and It was. a long hike. I got something to eat, wandered around in the shops, did a little shopping and went to a movie where it was deliciously cool. i - "I was told if I wanted a decent seat I'd better get back to the sta tion at 8 as the train would be standing there then. I stood in line to get on the train from 5 to 6. The train left at 8 p. m. There was no diner from there on to Berkeley. Just dry, white bread sandwiches and oranges. I made my dinner of them but for break fast I just had to turn my face. Facing them again for, breakfast was really, too much. I offered the man one dollar for a cup of eoiiee du even that didn't work! From Bakersfield on in every, seat was taken.

There will be no more moving pictures in Yoncalla until the show people can secure a build ing to give them in. The build ing formerly used belonged to Castor, and Schosso and they plan on adding it to their tur key picking plant. Misses Freda Ehrlich and Eve' lyn Geider and Albert Smith at' tended the Methodist Youth Con ference held in Cottage Grove re cently. . chairs, asleep, when we stopped at Bakersfield. I was rudely awak ened by a couple dashing against my legs and they grabbed the seat I'd waited so long to get. I made some remark about it but they said I'd had more sleep than they had had that night. So I was stuck on the most uncomfortable seat in the car, and got no more sleep. We got into Berkeley Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. with nothing to eat but dry sandwiches since noon Mon day in Barstow.' Boy, oh boy, it makes me tremble to think of what I might be facing with my little ones but we'll get there, some how. I have plane reservations, and train reservations leaving on the 14th. I've got a lot of physi cal stamina and a lot of faith and I'm really not terribly worried. I have something cooked up to da for everything I can think of that might happen. The plans are too elaborate to enumerate but we won't get such with food or hous ing anywhere along the way. Wish me luck, again, my friends. . .' . " ' .
