After 10 days in Brazil they went south to Puntas Arena which was then the world's most southernly city where they spent New Year's Day 1941. They crossed the Strait of Magellan and looked about Teirra Del Fcugo, and then drove west and north into Chile. Mrs. Henley describes their progress over difficult roads, across many very small ferries, over mountains, across plains, seeing many sheep and later large wheat ranches. A New Companion Her nephew Joe Smith Henley got his draft notice and had to leave her and fly back to the U.S. from Chile to be Inducted. A young man, Hector Burr, who was a skilled linguist and "inexhaustibly cheerful" came to her as a companion and driving partner. They left Chile late in March. They journeyed north by east through western South America and then north by west up through Central America and Mexico into Laredo, Texas. In the U.S. they proceeded to Washington D.C. and to New York where Hector went his way and Mrs. Henley took off alone for her home in Cali fornia. Some Troubles Just across the river the New Jersey police arrested her and detained her for 45 hours because the Olds was still wearing 1940 license plates. She showed the police her receipt for new plates and explained that she had been traveling so constantly that they had not caught up with her-but she felt very "put upon and shamefully treated". As she drove west she encountered a very bad salt storm in Utah and had her only accident, a collision with a farmer boy who had not seen her car. The book's closing chapter "Grandmother Comes Home" was especially enter taining.

Travel Book Charms GRANDMOTHER DRIVES SOUTH by Constance Jordan Henley was reviewed for the Bookworm Club by Mrs. Lucy Peterson at the James Thomson home on Tuesday evening, Jan. 30. Mrs. Peterson so enjoyed reading this account of an American grandmother's travels that despite the fact that the book was published in 1943, . she chose to review it. Mrs. Henley was encouraged to write this book to help publicize the great Pan-American Highway that was well on its way during this period following the U.S. entry into World War II. Mrs. Henley purchased a new six-cylinder Oldsmobile stationwagon and accompanied by her nephew Joe, a college age amateur photographer, drove from her home in California to New Orleans where they and the Olds went aboard a ship to Rio de Janeiro. They traveled leisurely; Mrs. Henley was away from her home 21 months and covered 38.674 land miles. They had PUBLIC MEETINGS TO AIR PROPOSED OFF-ROAD VEHICLE REGULATIONS A series of public meetings to explain and answer questions on proposed off-road vehicle (ORV) regulations will begin February 28. Off-road vehicles are any motorized vehicle such as Jeeps, snowmobiles, trail bikes, and dune buggies used for cross-country travel. In announcing the schedule, Bureau of Land Management State Director Archie D. Craft empasized that these meetings would be to provide information only. No testimony or written records will be taken. "Persons desiring to comment formally or seek changes in the proposed regulations should send written statements to the Director, Bureau of Land Management, Washington, D.C. 20240," said Craft. A 30-day period is allowed for public comment. The proposed regulations will, when final, provide for regulations of off-road vehicle users on 16 million acres of national resource lands admin istered by BLM in Washington and Oregon. Included are pro visions to close or restrict specific areas to ORV's. Such closures would be determined "on a local basis through the Bureau's normal planning pro cess. The draft regulations also prescribe conditions to be met if ORV's are to be operated in areas designated as "open." It is anticipated that most of the national resource lands in the two-state area will fall under this category. The proposals also would allow mining and geophysical vehicles into closed areas subject to regulations for operation and the terms and conditions of the designation order. Complete text of the regulations will be available at the Meetings which will be held as follows: Tuesday, March 6-7 p.m., Federal Bldg. Auditorium Jadwin Street, Richland, Washington. Wednesday.

OTAMPO The truth about Bronate, the"educated" herbicida Erom a weed that lived just long enough to tell about it. "Oh, it was terrible. A tragic day for weeds indeed. There we were happily robbing the wheat of their precious moisture and nutrients when the Bronate hit. First the gromwell, tarweed,. henbit and dogfennel keeled over and died. Then the mustard family collapsed simultaneouslyAnd finally'my own family of crowfoot went before my very eyes. I'd heard about Bronate but I never imagined it could wipe us out like that. I mean, we crowfoot are a hardy lot. Old Uncle Slimleaf, rest his soul, told us this Bronate wasn't like any other herbicide. It was educated. It knew the difference between weeds and wheat. It even says on the label it will kill 26 kinds of us. I Je said farmers use it because when it killed us, it wouldn't hurt a grain of the wheat. Even the new herbicide sensitive varieties like luke wheat. And they'd get up to 12 to 20 bushels more yield per acre. Bronaiteo Works on weeds, not wheat That's why it's the first choice of farmers out here in the Northwest. Well, Uncle Slimleaf was right, dead right. Anyway, by the time we realized Bronate was coming it was too late. We were goners. It's just a matter of time for me now. I don't know how much longer I can an My last words to my fellow weeds are: stay away from Bronate. It r-e-a-H-y w-o-rrr-ks."
