PAGI Mrs. Dunshee Tells Of A Train Trip Trough Ecuador A letter from Mrs W B. Dunshee, in Quito, Ecuador, South America, to her parents here, tells of a visit she and Mr. Dunshee made to a town near Quito where a fair was being held. She writes that her spirits fell as they walked by |he train they were to take—it looked safe enough—“but we passed car after car simply loaded with Indians, some hanging out the window, and I thought that was the way we would have to go, but instead we had very comfortable seats.” “Quito is at an elevation of 9500 and 7- we climbed fairly steadily, through beautiful green countryside, with ter raced hills and occasional groves of Eucalyptus, not native^o this country but planted because of its rapid growth. “From time to time we stopped at little towns that bore such names as Guaytocama, Macachi. At times we stopped to give thè engine a rest and once it looked as though we would have to get out and push, but after a long delay we chugged over the sum mit at Cotophxi, which is 11,700 feet high. - • ( “From there it was downhill through a sagebrush country to Lata- cunga, where the train stopped so the passengers could eat. From there on it was so dusty we had to close the windows, and still the dust whirled in. “Finally at 3:30 we reached Amboto and again the country was green and beautiful. Villa Hilda, where we were to stop, is on the Quito side of Amboto, but Win thought it was on the other side and when the conductor came for our tickets Win asked him to let us off at Villa Hilda. ‘Con mucho gusto,1 was the reponse and just before reaching Amboto the 1 train stopped for a minute. Since stops were frequent and no one of- faced to explain this one we kept our seats and when we were under way again the conductor came by and -said, ‘Well, I stopped the train and it’s your fault for not getting off.’ “We regie on into Amboto, fought <>ur way through the crowd (and I do mean crowd) at the station, got a cab and rode back to Villa Hilda. "After lunch we drove back to Amboto to take in the big fair. It was similar to the Coos County. Fair, only larger. The booths and displays were all very interesting and attrac tive and 1 don’t believe we missed a thing—my only disappointment was that the only gadget to ride on was a merry-go-round. “It was very quiet and peaceful at the Villa and after dinner, which was really grand, we »at on the balcony of our room and enjoyed the quiet of the country for a change—a treat not to hear the incessant honking of horns which seems to be the custom down here. “Saturday afternoon we took in the fair again and also the animal show which was very good. They had some beautiful horses from the Argentine, and the most enormous bull you can imagine; also a hog that was excep tionally large, must have been close to six feet, and I’m not kidding. “Sunday morning we went to the station to return to Quito. The Singer Sewing Machine Co. salesman was to meet us and help us get a seat. He knew how crowded it would be. and it was terrific, people rushing to get on the train before the passengers got off. We finally got on and there was the salesman calmly holding seats for US, while everyone was pushing and shoving. We were cer tainly lucky and thankful to him. “The trip back was uneventful, with an occasional rain. There must have been 80 or 70 Indians riding on the car roofs all the way beck. I didn’t envy them. We arrived back in Quito at 4:3ft—six hours for an 85 New Faces In Countv Jail The Past Week Evangelist At Church Of The Nozarene Must Have Ration books By Dec. 15 Advices from the local Rationing Board in the bank building here are that everyone should register his or her name with the board before Dec. IS. Many people, who had a surplus of. sugar when registration for that was held some months ago, have not taken ttie trouble to register, but with coffee rationing now in effect and many more commodities to be placed on the ration list in the next few weeks, it is necessary that every one register for Book No. 1, so as to be eligible for No. 2 when it is is sued after the first of the year. ' The No. 2 book will be gotten up so that it can cover all items, in the food line, which may be rationed in the future. Persona who do not have Book No. 1 include those who have not regis tered, those yho have registered and have not bdten given books because they had excess supplies ■ of sugar, and those who have surrendered their books to their local boards for one reason or another. An ' adult. registering for the first time must furnish proof of Identity, such as selective service registration card, autotomobile driver’s license, bank book, or similar document.
