Holt Teachers Try
Deep-Sea Fishing
Vaulda Welke Writes
impressions of
Eastern Tour
By VAULDA WELKE
Of Ewing
On Tuesday, August 29, 37
tired, happy and “well educa
ted” teachers returned to good
old Nebraska
Holt countyans on the exten
sive Eastern tour were Miss El
ja McCullough, of O’Neill, Holt
county superintendent o f
schools, Thelma Young, Bar
bara Trowbridge, Leona Beck
with, Alice Sammons, Marcella
Tocnjack, Eileen Krysl, Lucille
Mitchell, Anna Carson, Gene
vieve Vandersnick and yours
truly.
Miss McCullough was busi
ness manager and Miss Lulu
Way, of Wayne State Teachers
college was instructor. We went
by chartered Greyhound bus
We left O'Neill August 6.
While in Chicago, 111., we were
on the radio program, “Wel
come Travelers.” Bob Ogan, of
Creston, talked on the program.
They we went to the screening
of “Louisa” We visited Green
field Village near Detroit,
Mich. This was sponsored by
Henry Ford and so many things
concerning him were in this vil
lage. There were also many of
Thos. Edison’s inventions. Be
fore arriving in Detroit, we went
through the Kalamazoo vege
table parchment plant.
In Canada, we stayed in
Montreal and Quebec. Tours
of the cities showed us much
early American history as did
also the tour of Boston. Mass.
At Portland, Me., 14 of us de
cided to be deep-sea fishermen.
We land - loving Nebraskans
didn’t exactly appreciate the
deep sea. Our catch was main
ly dogfish which were not good
for food.
We saw Niagara Falls from
both the American and Cana
dian side.
The tour of the Thousand Is
lands from Gananoque, Ontario,
to Clayton, N- Y., was very in
teresting. The St. Lawrence was
so calm and peaceful. The smal
lest international fridge in the
world connects 2 of the islands.
The bridge is about 3 feet long.
The homes on the islands are
valued from about $14,000 and
up
In New York City, we went
to Radio City Music Hall to see
the Rockettes, the world’s great
est precision dancers. Some of
the group took in most of New
York’s night life on about a 5
cent tip.
A $48 cover charge does not
quite match a school teacher’s
pocket book. Half of the group
also went to Coney Island. Dur
ing our tour of the city, we took
a boat ride to a Statue of Lib
erty. The lady with her torch
was a wry impressive sight.
At Lake Success, N. Y-, we
visited the United Nations. Sev
en of the group got into the se
curity council. The rest of us
watched Malik’s speech on tel
evision. English, French, Rus
sian, Chinese and Spanish are
used at the United Nations so
one could listen to the langu
age of his choice.
At Philadelphia, Pa., we vis
ited Independence Hall and saw
the Liberty Bell. We walked
through the grounds of the nav
al academy in Annapolis, Md.
About a week before we were
; there an order was issued for
bidding outsiders on the pier.
In Washington, D. C., we vis
ited Sen. Tom Connelly, of Tex
as, and Sen. Kenneth Wherry,
of Nebraska, Representatives
A. L- Miller and Karl Stefan
of Nebraska. We listened to the
House while in session.
We became privileged char
actors and got to ride a little
car from one part of the capi
tol to another. Senators can ride
in the car but representatives
have to walk.
We were in the supreme court
building, Smithsonian Institute,
Library of Congress and visit
ed Washington’s monument and
saw the Lincoln memorial
We were at Arlington nation
al cemetery in time to see the
changing of the guards at the
tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
An unknown veteran of World
War II is to be selected from 6
bodies in Philadelphia. This
veteran is to be laid in a chan
nel on the west side of the tomb.
The inscription will be changed
to “Here rests members of the
armed forces of World War I
and II, known only to God”.
The dedication is to be next
memorial day.
We visited Mt. Vernon,
Washington's home near Al
exandria, Va. Much of the
place is just as Washington '
left it. Washington's tomb is
a short distance from the
house, overlooking the beauti
ful Potomac.
Some of the group attended
a baseball game in Boston and
others saw the Washington Sen
ators defeated in a night double
header by the Cleveland Indi
ans. Miss Washington, D. C., of
4950, was presented that night.
We visited Gettysburg na
tional cemetery and saw the
place where Lincoln gave his
Gettysburg address. In Suring
field, 111., we visited Lincoln’s
tomb and home.
Our last night was spent in
Des Moines, la. Even though
we had seen many interesting
and beautiful and wonderftrt
places and things, we were glad
to get back to Nebraska.
As we get 3 hours college cred
it, we had to do more than just
take in all the sights and sounds
of more than 4,000 miles travel,
but the trip was worth all the
work.
Chisholm Trail Rider
To Be Heard—
From Valentine in the famed
Sandhills country, comes a story
that recalls the day when
longhorn cattle were driven
from Texas to Ft. Dodge, Kans.
The story pays tribute to Sam
Hudson who developed his own
10,000 acre ranch by hard work.
As a rough and ready frontier
cowhand, he rode the old Chis
holm trail and broke wild
horses. Another oldtimer, Char
les Reece, helps tell the story
on Everett Mitchell’s Great Corn
story. It will be broadcast over
WJAG, Norfolk, Sunday, Sep
tember 10, at 1 p. m.
Lloyd Whaley took his daugh
ter, Donna, to Omaha, on Mon
day after she had spent 2 weeks
vacation at home. Donna is
taking nurse’s training.
