This is Friday morning and
1 believe we’re in fir a thunder
storm. The weather for the
most part since leaving home
has been ideal, although we
have had a day or two that has
been on the verge of being too
hot. The wind continues to
bl'iw, however today it isn’t
so bad.
After leaving Calgary, B.C.
we continued on our trip east
across Canada until we came
to Winnipeg, then down to
Grand Forks, N. D. and on to
Minnesota. The trip across
Canada was uneventful. Mostly
wheat ciuntry and we missed
the towering mountains of the
Canadian National parks. We
stayed at a private lake near
Sauk Centre, Minn, for a coup
le of days with my nephew
and hLs family; They have a
trailer parked there all the
time, and we parked our trail
er near them. Did a little fish
ing one day and didn’t get
skunked. It was fun, and some
thing that I never seem to get
around to do at hime. After
leaving Minnesota we came to
Buffalo Center, Iowa, where
Alta has a lot of cousins. You
can talk all you want to about
western hospitality, but this is
something else. We’ve been fed
an<l fed at all these various
homes, and if we don’t quit
this eating and loafing we’ll
be like “Iowa Hawgs” before
we get back home.
Yesterday. Thursday, anoth
er couple went with us on a
300 mile trip. We visited the
“Little Brown Church In the
Vale.” It is one of the historic
old churches in this state. It
was built in 1855. I can rem
ember my mother telling me
about it when I was a little
fellow. Alta had visited the
church when she lived in that
area many years ago.
From the little church we
drove to Packard where she
lived for a year in her youth.
We found the old house, just
as it was when she lived there,
so it was quite a thrill for her.
We drove over to Alden to
visit another cousin and his
family. All in all it was a real
nice day, topped off by a pic
nic on the farm in the evening.
This town of Buffalo Center
is a real friendly place. I’ve
met a lot of people and of
course visited the newspaper
here. I got restless on press
day, and went down and made
part of their press run for
them. It seems good to get
back into a shop again.
I enjoyed talking to people
along the line, and in Canada,
found they have much the
same problems as we have.
Too much taxes, waste in gov
ernment. and all the rest of the
trouble, even to the riots in
colleges. I f und they are a-
bout as interested in our space
program as we are, of course
it’s our money that’s being
spent, so why shouldn’t they
l»e. However, they are sincere
in their interest, and told me
of many of the good things
that have come through the
-pace research.
I am quite surprised at the
farms here in Iowa. They have
large bams and lots of corr
cribs and cattle and hog sheds
The thing that is depressing
is that many of these buildings
are not used. The farmers live
in town, just raise corn, of
which there is a huge surplus
They take many acres out of
production, for which they re
ceive some pay from the gov
ernment. One of the men here
told me that the farmers then
plant their com a little thick
er. fertilize heavily, and con
sequently are rairing more
than they used to when the
whole acreage was used. Hence
they are defeating their own
program. It seems a shame
when this fine land lays idle
but what can be done when
there ¡3 more com and other
produce raised than can be ut
ilized.
We’ll leave in the morning
for Granville. N.D. where we
will visit my brother and his
wife and other relatives Then
we’ll go to Jamestown to visit
Alta’s sitter and well have a
family reunion there. Then
we’ll leave for home, but I

IDANHA—Members of the
Idanha Rural Fire Protection
District anti interested citizen»
met at the Idanha Fire Hall
Thursday night to begin plans
to spread the District’s tele
phone alarm system to neigh-
b ring Detroit and also to buiki
a sub-station and acquire a
pumper fire truck for Detroit.
Representatives of the State
Fire Marshall’s office and Val
ley Telephone Co., were among
the 24 persons attending the
meeting. The Fire Marshall’s
office representative told the
gathering that Detroit, which
is 4% miles west of Idanha,
was too far for Idanha’s present
pumper to arrive in time and
effectively fight a fire. Anoth
er pumper would cost the dis
trict about $20,500 but the cost
could be spread over a ten
year loan, the district was told.
The district is now limited
to one fire station, one pump
truck and one tank truck, all
at Idanha.
No action was taken on the
proposals but another meeting
of the group is scheduled for
June 12th at 7:30 P. M. at the
Idanha Fire Hall.
