MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JULY 15, 1933. PAGE THREE Side Trip to Montreal Planned by Applegate While Waiting on Boat New York City, July It. W3. To tb Editor: Tha ApplegBW-BfMl theme song has sgaln changed; t "l C0 tha waterfront." and now to "CooO bye Broadway. hello Montreal." We're going to Canada. And we're going tonight. I must get.thia written, and then away we go. It waa all Tery audden, and la a long atory. Here It la: After walking about the waterfront for daya on end without success, we drug our weary bonea home one night with all Intentions of doing the aame for as many more daya as It might take to get out on a boat. As I mentioned before, we were no longer particular as to where we went, we had one promise for a Job to Ant werp the latter part of August, so iv In bed. exhausted, we be gan to long for the wide open spacea of our own western wjiw. Hii.vd a alde-trlD to Canada as a cure for our home sickness. The . talked, the more excited we became. At first It was to be a hltch-hlklng Jaunt to the border, r wo decided to make It a bi cycle trip to Montreal. Then the problem as to getting the packs on a bicycle, and we abandoned .that In favor of an old model "I"" .Fort. The next morning we went ahop plng for one. and not a single, soU tarv Ford of ancient enough vintage could we find. Finally we ran across a Dodge sedan, an early twenty seven model, with swell tires, good paint, and fair upholstery. The mo nr nerfect. In fact, It Btlll la. it. ,ut went ohooey with Don. He's out getting the motor tuned up before we leave. At least thsfs what he told me. although I think that he's Just grimly trying to learn to drive In this trarnc. un,n. TVm and I were In Chicago, t two kids from. New York. who had bltcb-hlked there, and Sat ...h.. mm itav after wo got the car. we took them along with one of the kld'a brothers, on a week-end ..... lnt1 the Catsklll "moun tain. " There was a nice little lake, w rnt there' after dark, we ....I . M.nttii-iirlm. They' had never heard of such a thing, and thought that we were Just kidding when we smrgested It. The wster was swell, while In a service se tlon in Port Jervls, N. T.. we picked up two hitch-hikers who were coun sellers at a Catholic summer camp nearby. They told us about a lit tle lake a mile or so from theirs, where we could csmp. As we pulled off the main road on the side-road leading to the camp, they warned me to drive slowly, as the road was terribly steep and crooked. It was about like East Main street; leading out to Hlllcrestl We let them oft at their camp, and drove on to the whfra we were to stay. l u-nji beautiful. The moon shining on the water and the hard-wood trees making a Jet-black wall ell around the edges. We parked the car. which had run beautifully all the way up, under some big trees, hnllt a fire, and Don cooked sup- Tn Kit nerfectlv truthful, he burned It. but that would be telling. This lob esrned for him the title nt "Chef." and now he wants to ret a cooks hat for this Canada trip I Aftr Mitnner. we went down to the lake for a plunge. We found a small dock, with a row boat tied up. and a diving raft moored about fifty yards offshore. Lou Tennere Jllo, the Italian kid from New York became cnptaln of our ship and Ken ny Myera the skipper. The two names Bre synonomous. but -we must have peace In the family. The third New Yorker waa an official, tug boat, while Don and Dick, had a ewell time stowing away to "Eur ope," which to most people would look like a very ordinary raft. But not to Don and Dick. This getting to Europe has become a phobia with : us. -I After exhausting ourselves - in the j water, we retired, Renny curling up , . In the back of the car, and. the two "Lou's" and the two adventurers on the ground outside. I forgot to In troduce the "third New Yorker' Medford. I'd like to have you meet a friend of mine. Mr. Lou Meyers. Mr. Meyers, this ts Medford.- To get IN LOS ANGELES It's The SIXTH and SPRING STREETS on with this story: We settled our selves for the night, and the next morning we were awakened at dawn by an outraged property owner who claimed we had kept her awake all night, and that If we weren't gone In half an hour, we'd have the pol ice to contend with. - The poor cops around here! - They must lead a hell of a life I We moved on to another lake, and spent the day cooking dinner and awimmlng and eating the dinner af ter It was cooked. This strenuous daya labor so exhausted us that we decided to leave for the city about five In the afternoon. We'd have been home by nine, except for one thing. We ran Into a traffic Jam forty miles from New York, and had to proceed at a crawl all the way home. It was terrible. Tonight we are all ready to leave. We Intend to go up through Mon treal, In the general direction of Hudson Bay from there, and so on up till we hit a place that we'd like to camp. After a few weeks of that. we're coming back, and we have It all arranged to go abroad soon as we get back. It waa arranged by Joe Hurd'a friend, Ben Robinson, of. the Herald Tribune, whom I mentioned last week. ... He told us he had a friend In mercantile law firm, who had a lot of drag with shipping mrn, and that he'd take us up to meet him. He took us up to the New York Athletic dub, . a very swanky club, by the by, and we had a decidedly eventful evening. On the way - up we saw Prlmo Camera walking up Broadway. He was Juat ahead of us for several blocks. Gosh. : he's big. My dad looks tall enough, but this guy looks even taller. You'd have gotten a kick out of watching the people stare at him. He dropped a nickel he was trying to put In beggar's cup. I suppose It would be ungracious to. suggest that he did it for publicity, wouldn't It? , At the athletic club we met Cap tain Sheridan, a direct descendant of the Civil war Sheridan, and be promised to get us a boat to Eur ope, but .not before late August or September. Hence the Canada trip We also met Mr. Deegan, head man of the Grace steamship line to South Aroerlcs. And also Boss Currey. of Tammany Hall. There were about ten big shots and Don and I. sitting around In a circle on the balcony overlooking Central Park, chewing the fat. It was thrilling. Don asked Currey what he did for a living, and Currey said, "Oh, I'm an engin eer!" . I wish he'd engineer a Job on a boat around the world for us, While we were sitting there talking about Hitler, Devalera, Trotsky, Mus solini, religion, science, and anything else you might think of. the new dirigible "Macon," slster-sblp of the unfortunate Akron, flew over. It was her first trip to the city. Her lights were all blinking at regular Inter vals In a signal of welcome to the multitudes. She looked smaller than the Akron, which I saw at Lakehurst last year. They say she looks smaller because she Is of much larger girth. It destroys that long slender effect bo perfect In the also unfor tunate Shenandoah. . During the coarse of the evening we also met the author of "Birds of Paradise," one of -the first books printed about . Ball- Ben .Robinson has been to Ball, and knows Andre Roosevelt, who filmed the . ptcture "Goons-aoona," which so thrilled Bob Colvlg and Nooks Naumes when at the State theatre In Medford. He also knows the guy. who wrote the best seller, "Grain Race We'd have met him too. only be .In Sweden on a trip to gather new material. Last Sunday we got an ad tn the Herald Tribune, for companion to ahare expenses on the trip north. It ran tbusly: Two college men (!) from coast on news writing adven ture around world, planning side trip to Canada, want companions to ahare expenses. Equipment fur nished." So far no one that we'd have along has shown up. If they want to go they'd better hurryl Last week we tried to stow away on the boat to Antwerp, and after offering half the crew money to (tow us away and keep their mouth abut about It, and meeting with no suc cess, we finally found a guy who had a friend who had given a stew ard on the Red Diamond line a few dollars to put him In the cabin. That sounded like something up our al ley, so we dashed down to bead- quarters and got passe to go aboard the "Minncwaska." a twenty tnous and ton liner for Prance, England, and Belgium. The crew waa entirely English. We asked for the steward and were Informed that he was at tha "rices." Sounds like a new game, doesn't It? It meana "races,, over In merry Hlngland. We had to go back the next day. but we might Just as well bave slept, as I pointed out, with unerr ing accuracy, to Don even oeiore we got up. He told us no one but Hinsiishmen were allowed to work on the boat. I wish some American boats were that thoughtful of Amer icans. But then, the only Ameri can boats of any decent sire are the Leviathan, which w.. took away from the Germans, If I remember my his tory correctly: the Manhattan, which hasn't been In dock since we've been here, and the George Washington, which Is now engaged In making cruises to nowhere. And the Levia than la tied up, probably for good While we were on the docks look ing over the "Mlnnewaaka," we aaw the Leviathan, tied up at ber berth. We went aboard. Ignoring the eigne promising Instant death for anyone dolus so. and were rewaraea oy sw ing the guard scratching matcnes on the "No Smoking" algn. He was verv nice to us. We ssked him " the rumor were true that she was to be converted Into a hotel, and he Aid "Probably, yes." That will ln- !. America's hold on the foot of the commercial shipping ladder, But the old Leviathan has hsd her day. She looks like she neeaea rent. Since we've had the Dodge, we've been stopped by the trafllo cops five times. The traffic Is terrible here, and the signals are lousy. You can't tell where to go. and no mat ter which way you decide la right, you're wrong, so now we Just go bllthley ahead, as though we knew we were right, and we haven't been stopped all day. This old Dodge has a goofey shift, and It's hard to get used to It. Always starting off at a nice rate of speed when the lirfit . turna sreen. but not always in the rlttM airecuon. iwsii - where low Is on an ordinary car, Bob soaldlnu has one of tnetn iaa. summer, cluttering the wayside with flvlns narts. But It ought to hold together till we get to Canada, and that Is where you'll next hear from DICK APPLEGATE.
