Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s 25-ton
snow cruiser, which will be used on
his next Antarctic expedition will
pass through Beaverdam on its way
east to join the exploring party.
The huge tractor type machine is
19 feet wide and will practically
block the highways over which it
travels. For that reason a detail
of state highway patrolmen will ac
company it across the state to hand
le direction of traffic.
Just to show’ them that there were
no hard feelings, Walters met the
boys on their return here, took them
to his melon stand on North Main
streets where he gave each half of a
melon, then led the wray to a nearby
confectionery and ordered a gener
ous dipper of ice cream placed on
each melon.
The boys were rounded up by a
deputy sheriff last Wednesday morn
ing after they raided Walter’s melon
patch the night before. Numbers
on an automobile license tag provided
a clue to their identity.

Recounts Highlights
Of Western Journey
Highlights of a 7,000-mile western
motor trip were described by A. J.
B. Longsdorf, superintendent of the
Bluffton public schools, at a dinner
meeting of the Lions club Tuesday
night in the Walnut Grill.
One of the most beautiful sights
viewed on the tour was a sunrise
seen at Pike’s peak, the speaker said.
The entire central section of Colo
rado is very picturesesque, Supt.
Longsdorf continued, and Colorado
ans claim it is the outstanding
scenic section of the West.
In Utah the touring party encoun
tered the large Mormon crickets,
which were so numerous in several
areas that warning signs were placed
along the highways. Crickets crushed
by passing motorists made the road
ways as treacherous as ice.
On the tour, the superintendent
visited the capital cities of Illinois,
Missouri, Utah, California and Ne
vada. Carson City, the Nevada
capital, was the greatest surprise,
for the tourists found it a town
smaller than Bluffton.
On the west coast, Supt. Longs
dorf attended the summer conference
of the National Educational Asso
ciation, held in San Francisco.
