The party stopped at- the Kitty Clover potato chip factory 1 1 ana saw pon corn ana potato t chips made. On the way home, they visited at the Grobeck dairy "for ice cream cones." Those who enjoyed the trip were: Roy Lee Smith, Martha Frances Carneal, Robert Joerge, Edith Wetenkamp, Thomas Car neal, Jerry Lee Fulton, Mrs. Kief, Mr. and Mrs. Carneal and Sammy and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The students expressed their ap preciation to Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Carneal for tak ing them to Omaha. Faith in Book Makes Dream Farm Reality EVANSTON, ' 111. U.R)Thirty miles northwest of here is aj dream come true. It is the 130 acres of farmland with the nine room white house and the big white barn. . It represents 18 years of heart break, work, and torture but it also represents peace, contentment and success. The place belongs to Mary Jane Ward and her husband Edward Quayle. For the first writing Mary Jane Ward ever sold, she got $10. That was the beginning. The end- j ing is vet to come but this year I Mary Jane Ward has received more than $100,000 from her first success, "The Snake Pit,", a Bcok-of-the-Month selection and one of t the most unusual books ever writ ten. Agent Turned It Down The story is Mary Jane Ward's own. It is the tale of an author, depressed by failure, ridden with fear, who suffers a mental break down and spends almost two years 'in a sanitarium, its title is taken from the hospital term for shock treatment. ''My agent turned the book down," Miss Ward said recently. "He said no one would buy it. But my husband had faith in it and so did I." The next time Miss Ward sent the manuscript out, it was sold. Random House bought it. Then success piled upon success the book club bought rights to it, Hol lywood decided to make a picture of it, foreign publishers started bidding for translation rights. So Mary Jane Ward and her statistician husband bought their dream, the dream that began when first $10 check came in. Untried Recipe Won "We were so very poor," Miss Ward related. "I wrote a recipe for meat loaf out of my head be cause we couldn't buy any beef to try it out but it won the news paper prize. What a feast we had on the $10 prize hamburger steak, and a party. It was that night, in the candlelight that we vowed that when we got rich we'd buy a farm and raise our own steak and chops." They've started with 25 cows, a thoroughbread bull, 100 hens, two litters of pigs and already they have three new-born calves. Quayle runs the farm; Mary Jane Ward does the housework. "A writer", she said, ''needs exercise." ALLEY OOP By V. T.

(U.R) Treasureseeking Spaniards 400 years ago, colonizing British in the 18th century and Americans with an eye to commerce ever since have sought a water route across Florida. A total of 19 different routes have been proposed through the state from the Atlantic ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. According to Dr. Carita D. Corse of the Florida Academy of THERE IS A SPECIAL DR.

The Spanish explorers, who well knew the dan gerous" water around the tin of Florida, sent three expeditions looking for the Indian waterway. The English made many print ings of water route maps that they captured from the Spanish, but they were too busy fighting wars to carry out any plans they may have had for finding 6r making a canal. After the War of 1812, American- interest began. Secretary of War John C. Calhoun ordered a survey of the canal route. Canal a Lost Cause Since then, the history of the water route, which began with a search for a natural waterway and continued with plans for a ship canal, has centered on the con struction of a barge canal across the state, starting at the St. Johns river near Jacksonville.
