SYRACUSE WAWASEE JOURNAL

To the West —andL Back! riGHT nights in Pullrrran berths, *-* 6,300 miles! Left Shreveport before midnight. Three hours and 20 minutes later rolled under the portecochere of the Arlington hotel in Hot Springs, Ark.—2o2 miles in 200 minutes, through three states, one city and eight towns. The last 40 miles a bit difficult because of hairpin curves zooming up into the Ozarks. Some 3.00 Q uniformed high school musicians accompanied by nearly 2.000 parents, chaperones and in- : structofs were also in Hot Springs I for the eleventh session of Arkansas bands and orchestras contest. Contesting units included 64 school bands and 54 orchestras. All day long the bands paraded through the streets playing not only. marching tunes, but excellent hillbilly music also. • • • Took the Ozarks Express on an overnight spin—and spin it was. as it. whipped in and out of those circuitous little hills. Nearly spun me out of my berth, but managed to get several hours of interrupted shuteye. Changed sleepily next morn- • ing in St. Lotiis to th'e American, the Pennsy’s flier for New York. Everywhere across the Middle West —blossoms, buds, birds and beauty. Into New York in time for some important conferences with persons high in the realm of national .affairs. Would not be surprised; to see a tax on mines, postage stamps, slot machines, even phonographs, records and movie film. •• . • ■Boarded the Iroquois Limited, for the eleventh time this season* Spun across New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana. Michigan, to Illinois. trains and whizzed across lowa to Columbus. Neb. Rain had turned the country upside down. Counted 11 gasolir. trucks. 41 passenger cars in ditches along the dirt highways, and was glad to climb aboard the Pacific Limited for a slow trip to the West. After all the fast, zippy shiny streamliners, it’s nice to know there are still some vehicles' on steel Which travel as we used to. Passed another milestone crossing the Continental Divide. Rain squalls lashed the countryside, and, Wyoming looked dull and foreboding. Patches *of snow, still remain on the higher reaches of the'Rockies. Train almost empty; a few soldiers being transferred to posts’. '• • • Picked up a Skyliner in Cheyenne for a swift 10-hour jaunt through the clouds back to Manhattan. Have bridged this continent 52 times by air. however, most of these trips were made way back in the early days when flying was a haphazard affair. Great strides have been made since then and today sky; riding is not very different from sitting up in the coach of a fast train, except that the motion is more sea-like than the train’s. I have never quite passed the stage of nausea, when the flying horse strikrsan air pocket and dives down-down-down and then up-up-up, with a potion like that of a fast elevator. Reaching New York, tore down to the dock on the lower side of the Hudson river and there boarded one of the new. fast white vessels of United Fruit Lincs. This line op-’ erates what is probably the best service to Latin America, our ' Good Neighbor.” The boats are more yacht-like than strictly commercial, and one has a feeling of being master of one’s own craft as one strolls leisurely along their trim decks. Unlike most ocean liners, one does not have to be continuously properlydressed for this or that occasion, great comfe-t. Days of Idling in the bright sunlight. of lying listlessly in one’s cabin, of gazing at a bright tropical moon. Flying fish skim the surface of tjie seas, some of them actually landing on deck. Tropical showers come and go with tremendous ferocity*—and tb en are quickly over without leaving a trace. Tiny atolls with a palm or two atop them, stick out of the aquamarine sea. As we near land, canoes filled with a motley crowd of brightly clad Bahaman Negroes approach the boat, and shout in their curious accent, more cockney than southern. The boat seems to be a world to itself, and except for the rapt attention with which the passengers listen to the news bn adcasts, and the sudden and heated arguments on policy and politics which break forth occasionally, one could almost forget the crowding worries of our hectic world. ° • • • HEARING THINGS: Letter from Jean Donnelly in Hollywood tells of the swell work of the Women Fliers of America. This organization plans, to train women along the same lines as its British forerunner did—as an auxiliary to our Air Corps. They would carry supplies, deliver planes from factories to military and naval depots, operate ambulance-planes, give first aid. etc. It would not duplicate the work of any other women's organization in the counitry.
