"HIGH" QUALITY QUICK" SERVICE RUBBER STAMPS The Plattsmouth Journal PRINTING AND OFFICE SUPPLIES Plattsmouth last Wednesday after a three week visit in Iceland at which time they attended the wedding of their son and brother, Lyman to Miss Hilda Snorradottirr. In talking briefly with Mrs Loren son she told of some of her im pressions of the country and the trip to and from by plane. The weather was grand all the time up to the morning they started home when a heavy rainfall occurred. The plane trips she described as wonderful with the sunsets most gorgeous. Iceland a mountainous country with sev eral volcanoes, is beautiful in spite of the absence of trees, which Mrs. Lorenson says that she didn't miss too much because of the other beauty. Ground i fogs are unknown although the air above is foggy much of the time and the sun rays through the fog presents many beautiful scenes. It took 48 hours from the airport to their front door. This included the time through the customs and the securing of railroad reservations in New York. Mrs. Lorenson has been asked by the Womans Club to bring them her impressions of her trip at one of their first meetings. From the short while I talked with her I am sure there are countless other inter esting things which she can tell and in her own interesting way. She will be able to let you take an Icelandic trip the inexpensive way. Mrs- Arthur Taylor reports having seen two deer feeding quite close to their farm home.
