Texas Couple Visits
All 48 State Capitals
Shamrock, Tex. (U.R) When
Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Hill of Sham
rock visited Carson City, Nev.,
recently, they finished a pro
gram of visiting the capitals of
all 48 states.
The couple first visited, a state
capital when they went to Aus
tin, Tex., in 1919. But it wasn't
until 1945 that they consciously
began to visit state capitals with
the idea of seeing them all.
"We suddenly realized in 1945
that we had been to more than
half of the state capitals," Hill
said. "So we decided to see if we
could make it to the others."
VIn 1953 the Hills made a zig
zag tour of the East and visited
capitals in that area. That left
only three to go North Dakota,
California and Nevada. The fol
lowing year they traveled 1,050
miles to Bismarck, N. D., last
fall they journeyed to Sacra
mento, then they wound up the
skein with the visit to Carson
City.
university. One of the better
know contributors is Dr. George
L. Cross, president of the univer
sity, and also one-time chairman
of the department of plant sci
ences. The popiOation of suburban
areas increased 35 per cent from
1940 to 1950, while the cities
they surrounded grew only 13
per cent, according to U. S. Cen
sus figures.
