Interesting adventures as they
saw Rio alter their arrival on a
beautiful "first Sunday In
November" and got the car
loaded. They toured the city on
public buses. 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. At the back of the book
there are 20 double pages of
good black and white photo
graphs by Joseph Smith Henley,
Hector, Burr, and the author.
This book was published by
G.P.Putnam's Sons, New York.

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. March 7-7 p.m.,
Ontario. Oregon.
Said the young lawyer to his
associate, "I feel like telling
that judge where to get off
again."
"What do you mean
again." "Well," said the young
lawyer,"I felt like it last week
too."

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."
