THOMSON'S GROCERY JIM and MADGE lone Pair Covers Wide Area on Tour Mr. and Mrs. Henry Baker of lone covered so many places on a three months world tour which they completed December 3 that they can scarcely rememb e r them all Bali, Nepal, Honolulu, Japan, Hong Kong, the Philip pines, Bangkok, Saigon, India, Teheran, Bagdad, Babylon, Egypt. These are just a few of the places that came quickly to mind when Mr. Baker took a few minutes to tell of the trip. A total of 22 made the con ducted tour and the lone couple thoroughly enjoyed it, although he admitted it was nice to be home and "find everything just as we left it." Traveling is not new to the Bakers. They have been to Europe, Hawaii and Mexico on other tours, but this was the longest and most inclusive. One of the crowning experien ces of the trip was the polar flight home, a part of the trip that Mr. Baker described in de tail. "It was 8:15 a. m. Friday and we were aboard our plane at Rome ready to take off for Lon don to catch the polar flight to Los Angeles," he said. "But the pilot could not get one of the jet motors to reach the high pitch whine that indicated full power. "After several tries he gave up, and we were sent back to the airport while several men stood around and tinkered the motor but no luck. Some of us went to the Pan Am counter and asked for another plane to take us to London so we could catch the polar flight " 'Sorry, none available,' was the reply. We then asked that they phone London to hold the polar flight for us. 'Sorry, the po lar flight leaves at noon.' It ap peared that Time and Tide and Polar flights wait for no man. "After a delay of two hours they loaded us on another plane that was sitting there all the time, and flight 288 took off for London. "A great bank of clouds cover ed France and as far as we could see. Their snow white top was very deceiving for when our pilot took us down to land at London the clouds got darker and darker until we were in that famous London fog, but he landed us safely on the runway. "The big Pan-American jet clipper for the polar flight was Reisch Speaks Before Boardman Club on Services By MARY LEE MARLOW BOARDMAN Darrell Reisch of Heppner, was a guest speaker at tne meeting of the Mothers club of Boardman Grade school Thursday afternoon of last week in the school cafeteria.

We never found out why it was late. Maybe it did wait for us and others. In haste we got our gate passes and seat numbers and got aboard- We sat in our comfortable seats and fastened our seat belts, and at 1:45 p. m. we taxied out to the runway and took off. "Up and up we went through the dismal fog until we broke through the fleecy white clouds on top and out into the bright sunlight. Our stewardess brought us lunch with hot coffee. We headed northwest towards Ice land, crossed Greenland and the Artie Circle while the sun set in the south and twilight came. "We were more than six miles up and the great shadow of the earth's rim hung in the northern sky. We were flying the great Circle route, racing racing the sun. We crossed the Arctic Circle again as we came down and the sun rose very, very slowly in the southwest with all the colors of a beautiful sunrise. "Far below us was snow and ice winter's desolation. An officer came through the plane with our route traced on a map and stop ped to discuss it with anyone who was interested. We passed over or near Calgary, Spokane, and Pendleton, but it was get ting dark here as the sun had set again, this time in the west. "We were served a wonderful dinner before landing at Los Angeles and going through cus toms. We caught the next flight north and arrived in Portland at 11 p. m. Our time is nine hours slower than Rome. The Polar flight took 12 hours and we con sidered it the crowning glory of our three months world tour." Mabel C.
