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.
