PAGE SIXTEEN HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1954 Lakeview Girl Writes Of U. N. Delegates' Trip By JOYCE DUNHAM I believe you have gotten a lew brief notes on the first lap of my Journey so I will now give you a brief review of the events In New York. We arrived at the Hotel Clar ldge at 5:1b p.m. Sunday, July 18. We were greeted by the mid-west bus load from Ontario, Manitoba, Minnesota and Wisconsin. That evening we all went to Hayden Planetarium to see "Sky Fan tasia." This feature was one ol the most Interesting programs we attended. On Monday we attended the U.N. for the first time. Wo were divided into groups and given fine tours of the U.N. The buildings are very plain but extremely Im pressive. When one enters the main lobby of the U.N. a cool peaceful feeling comes over you. Everyone was very Impressed. After our tour we had a talk on China given by Mr. C. T. Mlao. It was extremely interesting and he gave us some close-up views on Red China entering the United Nations. After our briefing on China we were guests In the dele gates dining room which overlooks the East River. It Is a very lovely room and the food was simply wonderful. Everyone was so nice to us in the U.N. People of every race, color and creed are there and each is treated with equal rights. It Is truly an inspiration to visit there. Also on Monday we were briefed on some of the work Grandchildren Visit Ike WASHINGTON W) Sometimes these days there comes a tap at president Elsenhower's wnile House office window and a small voice calls: "Hi, Ike!" That will be Dwigttt David II, the President's 6-year-old grand son, or maybe his sister Barbara Anne, who is 6. And the third Elsenhower grandchild, Susan, 2, la likely to be toddling close by on the patio Just outside the chief executive's office. The youngsters are vistlng at the White House with their parents, MaJ. and Mrs. John Eisenhower. The major is serving as an aide to the President for a few weeks before taking over a new assignment at Ft. Leaven worth, Kan. The grandchildren all call the President "Ike" and that makes them part of the very small mi nority that atlll does. He loves It. Mrs. Elsenhower, the first lady. Is "Mamie" to Jhe children and she likes that. Orandfther Elsenhower gets a big kick out of the Joyous taps on his office window. They are not anywhere near as frequent as they reportedly would be if the Presi dent had his way about It. Like grandfathers all over the world, he figures out ways to spend as much time as possible with the kids. David and Barbara Anne and sometimes little Susan are up mornings in time to see him off to work In the White House office wing. And it's no secret the President sometimes calls It quits a bit early In the afternoon to get together with them again. COMICS KINGSTON, Jamaica lFI The Jamaica Booksellers Assn. has barred more than 90 sex, horror and crime comics from this British West Indies island, officials dis closed today. of the economics and social coun cil which was about the world health organization. Monday evening we went to Coney Island. It was different. We had fun but it poured rain and everyone got saturated but we all sang coming home on the subway and It turned out to be loads of fun. We westerners seem lo get along quite well with the east erners but it Is hard to get acquainted. Tuesday we aaln visted the U.N. and were briefed on UNESCO and UNICEF which are two branches of the economic and so cial council. Again we ate In the U.N. dining room. In the afternoon we had the thrill of sitting in an actual meeting of the disarmament commission, a branch of the sec curity council. We were the only group this summer which has been able to sit in on an actual U.N. meeting and we were all thrilled and very Interested. At four o'clock we took the ferry to Bedloe Island to see the Statue of Liberty which has been one of the high lights of my trip. Tuesday evening I went to see a Broadway comedy, "King of Heaits." Wednesday morning we ate at the automat and then proceeded to the AAUN building for a briefing on the American part of the U.N. Then we were privileged to visit with Miss Russele, secretary to the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge. Miss Russele, gave an extremely fascin ating tnlk on the U.N, missions all over the world. At noon we took a subway to Frounces Tavern, which is where George Washington bade goodbye to hiB officers. After lunch we had a boat ride around Manhattan Island which everyone enjoyed very much. In the evening we were privileged to visit Inter national House. Here is where men and women of every race, creed and color are in perfect harmony. Their motto is "That Brotherhood May Prevail" and It certainly Is evident. Thursday we visited various del egates from various countries. I was privileged to visit those from Turkey and Canada. Both of which were very educational. Thursday evening the pilgrimage had Its own private talent show which was really hilarious. Friday was our last day and we made the most of it. We visited tile U.N. for the last time and talked with the chief of the U.N. interpreters. From there we pro ceeded to Sloane House where we had lunch and our speaking con test. The winners were Irene Jays of Nyssa, Oregon and Bob McGill of Tacoma, Washington. Both were from the northwest bus. Friday evening was spent at Ra dio City and was the most thrilling of all our entertainment. Rockefell er Center Is beautiful and Radio City was really a marvelous treat. The U.N. has been a great thrill to me. We had only a chance to skim over the top of the world problems but I do hope when I return I can give what Is In my head and heart to the people back home. Perhaps the most Inspiring thing of the whole trip is the harmony and friendship that prevails on our bus. I'm not fooling when I say we are like one big happy family because we are. Canadians and Americans aren't so much different and If they are we certainly can't notlcet It. ueiore i close i reauy must leu you our favorite songs. "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Oh Cana da." One is sung with as much fervor and feeling as the other. I believe if more young people of the world could have the fellow ship our 34 are having world peace wouldn't be very hard to attain. As you probably can guess I'm having the time of my life. 1 j -f - v. llj f- : . . V.'. STREETS OF KLAMATH FALLS swarmed with bicycles Wednesday afternoon when 38 youth ful riders, on a tour of the United States, wheeled their way down from Crater Lake.. A spokesman for the group admitted that Crater Lake, along with Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, was the most picturesque spot of the entire tour thus far. Kneeling in front are Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Shaffer, guides of the tour. Bicycle Touring Teenage Group Visits Basin Points 9th I Firm Phone 3188 By OTTO ELLIS Thirty eight tired, dusty and hot teenagers pedaled their way Into Klamath Falls from Crater Lake Wednesday afternoon, arriv ing here about 2:30. The youth group, members of the Students International Travel As sociation, which left New York City June 24, had disembarked from a train at Chiloquin Monday morning, cycled to Crater Lake where they camped out until Wed nesday morning, then after a husky breakfast took off on the down hill Jaunt to Klamath Falls. The group of students, aged 14 to 17, consisting of 32 boys and six girls are being conducted on the tour by Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Shaffer, Bethlehem, Pa., who act as guides and chaperones. The couple Is trained in first aid work and Mrs. Shaffer is a safety in structor in their home town. Before returning to New York on September 2, the youth group will have traveled 12.000 miles, over 1.000 of which will be on bicycles. They also travel by train, bus and boat. When questioned as to how the youngsters could stand the rigors of camping out on these bike trips, Shaffer told a reporter that each youth was required to pass a rigid physical examination and must be able to ride a bicycle before they are permitted to sign up. The first bike trip was only 18 miles, Shaffer asserted. Then after a couple of days on the train to let blisters heal and muscles be come pliable again another bike trip of 32 miles was made. Then followed trips In which the mileage was Increased gradually until on one trip crossing through Canada the group cycled 82 miles in one day. While on the bike trips the riders carry a pack of about 50 pounds which contains their personal ef fects, food and water for the day and a bike repair kit. A one-ton truck follows the SITA group on the entire tour. Two drl vers alternate to drive day and night when the students travel on trains or buses. The truck is equipped with a refrigerator to hold fresh food and carries tents and sleeping bags for the riders. The group is divided into com mittees to handle the chore of set ting up camp, do the cooking, dish washing and cleanup work. Most of the students are from the New York area, Shaffer stated, with the remainder coming from, the New England states. , These tours were started 19 years ago with only five members. Last year 1,500 completed tours to all parts of the world and this year over 2.000 have been signed up, he added. Only one serious incident has oc curred in the several years he has been guiding the youth tours through the United States, accord ing to Shaffer. Tills happened last year when the c yc 1 1 s t s were camped about 100 miles from Jas per. Alberta. At 1 o'clock In the morning a 16 year old girl suffered a severe attack of appendicitis. Rushed to a hospital at Jasper she was operated on and within two weeks was back on the tour again. While here most of the young people took advantage of Klam ath's new swimming pool, attended Shows and kept bicycle repair shops busy during the afternoon. Aboard a special Southern Paci fic car they left Klamath Falls early this morning for San Fran cisco on another leg of the tour. California Town Sold At Auction DELLEKER, Calif.

Shasta, Weed, Duns muir and Yreka to help spread good fellowship In nearby commun ities which have many of the same problems facing Klamath Falls and Klamath County.' The first stop was in Dorris where the group made a brief stop to say "hello" to citizens of that community. A special delegation headed for the Butte Valley State Bank and Bill Hagelstein who wasn't around. Bursting with good will and the milk of human kindness, though disappointed, the Klambassadors trekked on to Mt. Shasta. Stopping at that city's Chamber of Com merce, the group was cordially greeted by W. T. Wait, secretary, Elmer Kennedy, president and Gino Marconi, vice president re spectively of the local chamber. The butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker trooped in to ex tend greetings to the representa tives of Klamath Falls. It was learned later that the difference in time resulted In the Klambassa dors not receiving a rousing wel come from Mt, Shasta citizens. At Dunsmuir the Klambassadors were greeted royally by Chamber of Commerce president Domonic Slrianna, Mayor Fred Lloyd and Siskiyou County supervisor, Art Barr. A delectable Italian dinner was served to the Klamath group in Motto's Villa. Slrianna later pointed out that he didn't doubt that the name Klambassador was taken from the clam which is noted for saying very little. Because of this, he said, the Dunsmuir group wouldn't say much either except that that city had so much, so many things to offer, it could well afford to give a few away. It was pointed out that a "fun map" produced and "dis tributed by the Weed, Mt. Shasta and Dunsmuir chambers called at tention to our great Crater Lake as one of America's outstanding scenic attractions. Thanks were expressed by How ard Stroud, Klambassador mastef of ceremonies, who extended a hearty welcome to all present to visit Klamath. Stroud in his brief talk made it clear that the group from this city had nothing to sell but good fellowship and he ex plained it this way: "We get itchy feet and just like to go around and visit our neighbors so as to get better acquainted." Following the Dunsmuir stop the Klamath group paid a brief visit to Weed. Exchange of greetings impromptu as that neighboring city had not been advised that the Klambassadors were riding. Arriving in Yreka the Klambas sadors were cordially greeted by Jimmy Davis and Mrs. Davis, op erators of the Empire Room and the Rex Cafe where a steak din ner was later served. Highlight of the Yreka visit was the presentation to the Klamath group of Dorothea Moroney, better known as the "Chrome Queen" who was Introduced by Cal Peyton, a long time friend. The Chrome Queen It turned out Is one of the very few successful women actively engaged In the mining business who has made a success ofv it. At one time her chrome operations were said to be the most important industry in Yreka. t For Quality Supreme WURLITZER PIANOS Modern science applied to an old Industry has created a new standard of excellence.
