PA'OE FIVE Marie Dressier and Wallace Beery Coming to Craterian Tuesday in "Tugboat Annie" Young Mr. Applegate on World Tour Still in Vicinity of Montreal MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, irEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 27, 1933. Nomlnlngue. Again. Aug. 32, 1933. To The Editor: On might think that Don and I wero railway con due ton, the way we buttle back and forth between Norn lnlngue and Montreal, with occasion al loud cries about an Intended trip back to New York. Wo don't seem to be able to make up our minds. The latest has us all ready to leave Montreal shortly lor England, but dont oepend on that. Mom sent me a sheet of clippings from the Mall Tribune the other day constituting the first news I've heard from Med ford In over a month. And most of It was wedding announce ments. Cupid seems to be getting a good workout in the valley of the Rogue. Congratulations to bis vic tims, of course. We scaled that mountain (that I mentioned some time ago) again yesterday. This time In the capacity of guides. The underbrush la so thick that no trail Is possible, so we took our directions from the sun and had little trouble. By the time we got to the top we were all tired, and laid ourselves down on the green sward to take a blow. We hadn't been there long when we heard a heavy crashing in the brush, and assumed that other mountain-sealers were at work. We did not go long undeceived, however. The crashing grew louder, coming our way and Gordon Greer, the four teen year old pest that I've mention ed before, got up to welcome them with loud volte. He disappeared, and in about two seconds later returned at a remarkable speed, white as a sheet, and unable to talk. He had seen something startling, we could see. and the crashing of underbrush had stopped. Arming ourselves (there were six of us) with clubs and rocks, we went to Investigate and scared up a young black bear cub, who vanished immediately Into a largo pile of boulders. Needless to say. we immediately started tne re turn lourney. That Is the first bear I've wen around here, altho I've seen several near Medford, up towards the lake. The first of the week, after com ing up from Montreal with Mr. Greer, we secured a canoe irom tne mcuui University, summer camp and start ed on a trip into t.he bush. . We'd aone about three miles when It start ed to tain, of course. It always does here, as I've mentioned before. It looked like an all day affair, so we returned, and have kept post-ponlng our departure until today. We've had beautiful weather for several days now, but this morning It turn ed cloudy again. When we first got to this country It looked sort oi miniature. The hills were only Mils, and the valleys were small. Now that we've been here for over a month, the hills look almoin like mountains, and altho the valleys are still small, they are so green and nice that we have become greatly attached to them. The glar ing dilterence oetween this country and tne West is that the valleys and mountains are always green. They don't dry up like the side of Rosy Anne every summer, and consequent ly the country is not nearly so scar red with forest fires. When we left New York we didn't wait to see what fruits our adver tisements ta the different papers for travelling companions bad borne, el nee we had changed our minds about wanting them. Lew Tennerlelo, a frtena of ours there, volunteered to collect the answers for us and send them tn Montreal. When we got to that city we asked for our mail In Don's name only, and the letter was sent tu me. We didn't find that out fill last week. We did finally get the letter, month or so late, however, and among others, not nearly so Inter esting, was the following one: "Dear College Students: While scanning the usually un interesting Public Notice columns of the Bronx Home News, your personal caught my Jaded eye. After rubbing the aforementioned members, I re-read the six lines and decided that since oppor tunity knocks but once, I would opm wide my door. Like the several other thous ands (or Is It millions?) of dis contented mortals, the words ad venture and travel have always had a great allure for me. Al though I have never been em ployed In the capacity of com panion before, I feel that I could fulfill that post satisfactorily, (providing that I fully compre hend the meaning of the word.) I am a FEMALE of twenty possessed of a knowledge of typ ing and stenography, and avid interest in Journalism. Also a prntty fair sense of humor. These are my humble qualifications and I dure say they won't do at all. But I'm quite sure that If YOU were within reach of Al Udln's Lamp you could not for- bear to rub it Just to see if it would work. Besides a three cent stamp la such a nominal in vestment 1 1 real lee my salutation would not be approved by Miss Emily Post, but you left me no alterna tive as you neglected to state your sex. Beside It's so much more original. Until I hear from you, I shall U1U be, most hopefully, MISS , New York City. Since we did not get this inter esting epistle until a few days ago, I suppose that we can not really claim muoh credit for having resisted the temptation of having brought her along. 1 still have her address, how ever. And Lew has already promised to look her up I One of the nloe things about be ing out on the highway of life alone like Don and Dick now are. Is that those hard knocks of experience which we depended on to supplement our education are not long in mak ing their appearance. for Instance right now our sum total of negoti able securities Is thirteen cents (Can adian coin of the realm), a car of doubtful value, which we can't give away, and a lusty appetite. Two lusty appetites, to be more precise. In fact, that crack about negoti able securities can hardly be said to apply to the Dodge. We wanted to give It to Mr. Greer when we left because he s been so nice to us. In fact the whole family has. But when we went down to the customs house to declare our Intentions they gave us the raspberry. It can't be done. The only way we can get rid of it Is to take It across the line and sell it for what it will bring. But If anyone can tell me how we're going to get this old oil bog that far on thirteen cente, I'll be much obliged. This hardship stuff to harden one for the battle of life, Is all right In the abstract, but lousey In the con crete. But are we down-hearted? Yesl I mean NO. In fact, Don, with a wistful look In his eye and a wist ful catch In his throat. Just said Hell, 1 wish we were In Tahiti." We may be, one of these fine days. and don't you forget It. We've got a pal here In Nomlnlngue who wants to go to England with us. He doesn't know what he's sticking his head In, I'm afraid. We had one experience here In Canada that I've been wanting to have. We went on a hay-ride. A great big hay-rack, with about two feet of hay In the bottom, and a big canvas spread across lt and pillows scattered copiously about, and about half the young people In Canada all trying to sit on them. There was a swell moon, and the air from the lake was warm and sweet. Aaaa. On this pleasant and pastoral scene Id best end this week's In stallment, and go out and start pick ing oemea and looking up the edible herbs in the country, or whatever It Is young men with thirteen cents are supposed to do. So long, cheerfully, from DICK. i if-' ' ' 7 s?- , . ' .l , .. . ; i v.-X '--rV X;ri - t- - , . ' j $f;-. .JVfcv-'M-'. -7 V - . s " x- -- ?
