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

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. If
this proof of identity also shows the
applicant’s present address, it will be
accepted for proof of identity and of
address.
The applicant must submit a rec
ord of his address May 4, 1942, and
each of his addresses since that date,
giving dates. He must also submit a
statement that he has not registered
previously and state why no such reg
istration was made.
