(Hr The flab Reporter!
Mrs B. M. Cromack was In charge
of the program on "Travel m Amer
ica" when the Learners met Tues
day at the home of Mrs. Ralph L.
Buell With the advance of travel
ing facilities It seems that, the
American people are always want
ing to go somewhere. The arrival
of the automobile brought the ne
cessity for good roads, then better
and faster trains. Later airplanes in
competition for long distance travel
brought about the stream line
trains, for speed and more speed
seems to be the universal desire,
regardless of the alarming increase
of accidents.
Good roads are continually being
extended. The All-American Htgh
! way. 15.000 miles long, from Alaska
through Canada, the United States,
Mexico Central America and the re
publics of 8outl) America to Buenos
Aires road Is already half com
pleted
Distance is eliminated by speed.
The comfort of the modern airplane
combined with the saving of time
and the fact that this method of
travel Is independent of highway
conditions make flying the Ideal
, transportation for business men.
Mrs. Creager gave an Interesting
comparison of a trip by rail from
Brownsville to Mexico City and a
similar trip from Brownsville to
Chicago.
After a general discussion the
Learners adjourned to meet Tues
day. February 19. at the Woman s
I club with Mrs. Fannie D. Putegnat,
I hostess. Members are requested to
arrive at 3 o clock instead of the
