I had already lady operator and she time met said working alone she _ learned again because her husband had gone fishing, as usual. Another woman from Kilgore was full of _information 3 when I was curious about this fishing in a “tank.” It turned out that the “tank” is what we would call a fire pond or a farm pond which nearly every farm has down here, It is stocked from time to time with croppies, white perch, bass and catfish. Fishing is just the most important recre- ation of all! The Sabine River which caused such serious flooding here two years ago, passes a few miles from where we are visiting. We wanted to see, so drove to it today. It is a deep murky — swirly viver but about as wide as the Housatonic through the Berk: shires. This afternoon, a trip to Grand Saline to see the salt mine of the Morton Salt Company was our aim. We arrived there to find that daily tours are scheduled at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and it was then well after two, so we were out of luck, We did see the outside of their big plant and saw the yard of hard packed salt. On the way, we saw buzzards for the first time. They are great ugly looking birds with the wingspread of a large hawk and they soar gracefully in search of dead animals to devour, thus serving humanity as nature's clean-up squad, In the village of Grand Saline, we were amused by a sign that said ‘Skinny Hawkin’s Used Furniture Mart.’’ Nick-names are very descriptive here and many babies’ are given names for life that iortherners wouldn't feel proper outside the family circle.

He surveyed it and a multiple arch dam, the largest of its kind at the time it was built, was designed for the site. A member of the class of 1909S at Yale, Mr. Bartlett will be coming East in June for the 50th reunion of his class. He will visit friends and relatives in Worthington at that time. We were interested to find out from Mr. Bartlett that a classmate of his, Raymond Cleveland now: of Prescott, Ariz, and a man with Worthington connections, has had a hand in digging the shaft for the elevators at Carlsbad Caverns. Mr. Cleveland was a nephew of the late Charlie Kilbourn of Worthington, ané worked at Carlsbad under Charles Dunning who was in Mr. Bartlett’s class at Yale. .
