PAGE FOTJB PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL THURSDAY. JANUARY 22. 1942. Local People Enjoy Trip to Southland Paul Long Family Spends Holiday Season in Louisiana and Texas With Relatives and Friends We left riattsniouth Sunday morn ing, December 28, via highway No. 75 to Nebraska City, across the river to 275 and then to highway No. 71, then down a very beautiful and scenic highway to the Ozarks. We drove through a part of Iowa, the full length of Missouri and Arkansas. The first night was spent at Shel don, Missouri, the second at Tex arkana, Texas. We experienced quite a change from leaving Nebraska in a snow storm and when we arrived at Tex nrkana. the yards were beautiful and flowers blooming, grass needed moving and above all open air mar ket squares. The Ozarks were beautiful and breath taking. We could see for miles beyond, below and it seemed like above. At first they were cov ered with oak trees and later most ly pines as the scenes changed. In many places ledges of rock hung over the roadway and in some cases the springs above caused water to flow from these ledges and form very beautiful ice formations. Lumber mills were on both sides of the road or miles. Every man and seme women along the way were go ing to work equipped with a saw or an ax. We also saw several coal mines and acres of orchards in Ark ansas. We went through VanBuren, Ark., the home of Eob Burns, saw his so called home but did not stop. You could get pictures and souvenirs, most anything around there. Really he doesn't stretch things a bit. the country homes all along tho way are nothing but shacks. L'l Abner could certainly pop out of any of their country homes or hills. Large wash ings were just thrown over the fence. In Texas they still have the free range law and most any time you can see a cow, horse or hogs coming up and along the main highways, so you better not go too fast. We visited the next week over and around Henderson, Athens, Jackson ville and Dallas, Texas, with rela tives and friends. Most of the time was spent at Henderson with my sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. II. A. Daley, the former being In the Gulf Refining company. They had just returned from a hunting trip to San Antone so we had all the venison we could eat. We also enjoyed quail, fried chicken, at their and their friends' homes. That southern hospitality is no Joke, ev eryone is so friendly. The Sunday we were there we went to Shreveport, Louisiana, to see the high flying school and also had dinner there. We went to a place specializing in oysters and fresh sea foods and was everything good. Peo ple eat oysters on the half shell, raw, seasoned up. with any sauce that you might like. We drove over a high bridge Huey P. Long had built when governor of Louisiana, and before his election to the United States senate and his as sassination. Also we drove by Cado Lake, going over which is seventy miles long and five miles wide, where all of the clubs have club houses for their members to come and fish. Shreveport also has a big lake where they get their drinking water from. For the first time we saw open air theatres where you drive in and see the show in your car. North and east of Henderson are the big oil fields; it is only seventy miles long and twenty-five miles wide. The largest and best equipped schools in the United States are located here. We saw the New Lon don school and monument where only a few years ago the old school building was blown up, killing sev eral hundred pupils. Three cem eteries were made because of its happening. They have churches with oil wells around them and which pay their members dividends and they won't let any more new memhersuln. We visited the J. I).

Sponsors of the Vic tory Book Campaign are the American Red Cross, Ameri can Library Association and the United Service Organiza tions. at Jacksonville (a fami'y that re sided in Plattsmouth this past sum mer) and soon after they left there Mr. Lake was killed working on an other pipe line in Alabama. While there we saw a holly tree being used as a Christmas tree also mistletoe all over the other trees persimmons on trees, flowers blooming and doors wide open so mild were the condi tions. In Dallas, which is quite a large city, we saw the Cotton bowl stad ium, their beautiful fair grounds, etc. Wednesday morning we started home, coming up the west side through Oklahoma, Kansas, back in to Iowa and then to Nebraska. We saw cotton fields being plowed, oil fields, red dirt, through Oklahoma. We drove to Claremore. Oklahoma. Will Rogers' home town and saw the memorial. Words cannot express its beauty and impressiveness. His statue in front of the main door makes one want to go up and shake hands it is so natural. At Pittsburgh Kansas we went through some kind of lime pits which were regular man-made mountains. We saw more coal fields along the way and at Kansas City we got a bird's eye view of its activities. We went around the outside edge of it. They only have two defense projects and two more going in. We saw sev eral defense projects along both ways. After we left Kansas City it be gan to get colder and snow and blowing from there on we knew we were in the land of winter and not summer. The coldest it got down there was 32 and they had some ice on the trees and shrubs after it rain ed. It was foggy and damp from New Years on down there but not un comfortably cold. We arrived home January 9. after a most enjoyable visit and sight seeing tour and did we ever get a cold reception only 14 below that night we heard. When one goes through the coun try and sees all the United States resources it seems a shame we couldn't have been better prepared for this terrible assault on us by other countries. I guess we are too peace loving and enjoy life to the fullest so they are jealous and want to upset us too. Sincerely, MRS. PAUL A. LONG AND FAMILY.

The bridal couple was attended by John P. Miller and Le Ora Arlen. Phone printing orders to No, 6. John W. Delehant Named Judge of Federal Court Noted Beatrice Attorney Selected for Post of Judge Thomas C. Munger On District Court Bench By T. W. INGOLDSDY ,OMAIIA, Jna. 19 (UP) Nomina tion by President Roosevelt today of John W. Delehant of Beatrice, to be United States Judge to succeed the late Thomas C. Munger, was hailed in Nebraska political circles as a victory for National Committeeman James C. Quigley, Valentine, and the democratic organization. Delehant, who had received in dorsement of most democratic lead ers, reportedly had been opposed by Senator George W. Norris, Independ ent. Nebraska. Reason for the sup posed enmity was said to have start ed in 1936 when Delehant refused to support Norris for election as an In dependent even though all Nebraska party leaders had been asked to do so by President Roosevelt himself. Instead he supported Terry Carpen ter, Scottsblnff oil man, who won the democratic nomination. Norris reportedly had succeeded in holding up the nomination for many weeks. It was not believed here that he will block senate confirmation of the Beatrice man, although he has the power to do so. Others who had sought the nom ination included U. S. Attorney Joseph T. Votava, Democratic State Chairman. W. A. Schall. Omaha; Dis trict Judge Virgil Falloon of Falls City; Former Attorney Generals Paul Good and C. A. Sorensen of Lincoln; and Ralph O. Canaday, Hastings, general counsel for the Tri-County district. PARALYSIS VICTIMS HEROES When a wounded soldier returns from the wars, he is rightfully con sidered a hero. He has faced the enemy in valiant and glorious fash ion, and his homecoming is herald ed with bands end banners. There is nothing heroic about a wheelchair. Its occupant will not be cited for bravery or deluged with honors. Yet, who could be more cour ageous, more dauntless in the face of defeat than that boy or that girl, who, as the victim of infantile paralysis must challenge the world for their rightful place in it, from a wheelchair, or crutches? Twenty-five thousand more chil dren are in wheelchairs, are using crutches, are walking with braces the past three years, than in 1937. There may be twenty-five thousand more within the next three years unless every possible effort is made to check and to cure infantile paralysis. Who knows? .Next year it may be that happy healthy baby in your own household, or the small girl across the street, or that loveable little chap around the corner. No one knows We all must be pre pared. Do your bit to help your child and your neighbors' children by attending the President's Birth dry ball, or any of the activities which mean funds for the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis.
