Resuming their journey west they arrived at El Paso, Texas, only to find it 10 below zero, a temDerature that had not been recorded there since 1894. From El Paso west to Califor nia, the weather was very pleas ant, although when they reached Tucson, Arizona, they found a large rodeo was showing in the city; also a golf tournament was in progress, wr'i some of the best golfers in the southwest par ticipating, with the result that places to stay were at a low ebb. The Plattsmouth people were finally able to secure quar ters for the. night.

During their stay in Los Angeles they had a very pleasant visit in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Howard, being dinner guests of the former Plattsmouth people. They also stopped at San Diego with a cousin of Mrs. Knorr and had a fine outing and looking over the great port of Los An geles, one of the main U. S. naval bases in the country. They had a pleasant visit at Laguna Beach, with" a cousin, John Knorr, and family. Stopping at Arcadia, Califor nia, they were guests at the Carl Whisinand home and took in the many places of interest in that part of the coast coun try. The Nebraska visitors found the conditions hot and dry for the greater part of the time, although in the last few days before leav ing, there was a good rain. Since reaching home they have a let ter from Bert Knorr, telling that the drouth had been broken and in Los Angeles the water was over the curbs in places. The Plattsmouth people came home over highway No. 66 and found some snow and hard driv ing conditions. 1 Phone 287 Plattsmouth Rotarians Visit in City Tuesday Tuesday J.
