Memorial day week end was spent at Mountain Lake, Minn., the home if our birthplace. We had the privi lege of once again seeing our aged grandmother, and many relatives and friends. Memorial day is always a red letter day in that city. After a parade through city streets, an in teresting program in the city park was enjoyed, after which the large group continued the festivities a t the cemetery almost a mile out of town. Included in the parade was the high school band, the American Legion, -ity firemen nnd officials, boy scouts and girl scouts, all of which made the trek to the cemetery where the graves were beautified. This meth od of celebrating Memorial day seemed very commendable to us. We returned to Chicago Sunday oftemoon. Monday afternoon I en tered a baseball game when the na tional lcaeue leading Brooklyn Dod- •»ers defeated the Chicago Cubs. 3-2. Of the five runs, three were “over the fence.” A good comparison of the north and south climate was evidenced on our trip to New Orleans. The corn crop throughout Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan at that time averaged three and four inches high. It was th at height when we went to sleep on the train Tuesday night, and upon awak ening Wednesday morning we found that the corn had jumped to six and seven feet in height. Upon arriving in New Orleans we immediately embarked on a tour of the old French city. Among some of the most interesting points of inter est included the riverfront banana wharf, where bananas and pineapple were unloaded from ships; wrought iron “lace work” adorning so many buildings and homes; monuments, and cemeteries with above-ground burial vaults; the U. S. S. Wyoming battle ship; beautiful parks and many interesting history-making buildings. Leaving New Orleans we crossed over the thirteen million dollar Huey P. Long Mississippi river bridge. A one-day stop-over with relatives at Rosenberg, Texas, enabled us to see the second largest sulphur mine in the world. This mine produced 50,000 tons of sulphur daily. Less than 100 miles from this point is the largest sulphur mine in the world and produces 300,000 tons of sulphur daily, and is shipped mostly by boats to all parts of the world. We were greatly disappointed to find th at the beautiful palm trees had suffered so immensely in New Orleans and Texas, due to one of the coldest winters in these states during the past fifty years. Of much inter est to us was the large negro popula tion we found there. According to laws of Texas and Louisiana, every railway company, streetcar company, etc., doing business in these states as a common carrier of passengers for hire, shall provide separate coaches or compartments for the accommoda tion of white and negro, passengers, and had to be equal in all points of comfort and accommodations. This seemed a bit unusual to us, since the same things also applied to all de pots and many restaurants. We some times think we have poor families in our neighborhood, but there is no comparison with the poor negro south. Another day stop-over was made with relatives in Los Angeles, enab ling us to see that beautiful city, Hollywood and Santa Monica beach. Sunday night we attended the much publicized Angelus Temple, hearing Aimee Semplp McPherson give her version of the modern “Trojan Horse.” The most beautiful and interesting train trip was on the Noon Daylight Southern Pacific streamline train from Los Angeles, often called the world’s most beautiful train. For 113 miles the daylights speed along the Pacific Ocean’s edge. Surprising to us was the economy of our two day visit in San Francis co and the world fa ir of 1940. Upon arriving in San Francisco, a taxi took us to a hotel. The hotel room with two beds was surprisingly low for a downtown hotel. The next morning, walking across the street we took a 5c street car to the ferry, and a 10c charge was made to cross the bay to Treasure Island. Of course we were fortunate to have a press pass for entrance to the fair. Coming from the fair only 5c was charged for fer ry and the same amount again to get us back to the hotel. The cost of everything in general, we found, to be on an average of about 25 per cent less in Los Angeles and San Francisco compared with Chicago and eastern cities. The Exposition, of course, was beautiful and interesting, and accord ing to reports is similar to th a t of last year, but it was a bit too early in the season for the large crowds, since school in that and other te rri tories were still in full swing. The last stop-over and rest was made with our parents at Dallas. Oregon, returning to work Monday morning to again assist in publishing The Herald. $119 A ____ .95 For a Full 6 Cu.
