Columnist Barbara Adair
spends much time writing1
about your goings and com-
ings — near and far. This
week she’s our roving corre-
spondent telling about her own
family’s touring vacation. Bar-
bara writes from Holiday Inn
in Arlington, Va.)
!■ Our extended trip started as
•^■scheduled on the 14th of Aug.
at 4:30 with Baton Rouge, La.
our stop for the night.
Saturday saw us off to Atlan-
ta, 6a. in haste. We headquar-
tered at t*he hqjpe of our ex-
neighbors, the W. K. Board-
mans. Dr. Boardman is associa-
ted now with Emory Univer-
sity.
During our stay in the Peach
State, we learned quite a bit
about the battle of Atlanta in
the Civil War.
In spite of almost steady rain
we managed to see magnificent
homes, take a cable car to the
top of Store Mountain; a train
ride around the mountain and
eat a typical Southern meal at
£unt Fannies.
Oddly enough, in Atlanta I
talked with Louise Pritchard of
Mcyerland who was there with
her daughter taking a look at
Emory. 1
Knoxville, Tenn., was our
next stop. This part of our trip
included seeing Cherokee In-
dians aplenty, the Great Smoky
fl JR Mountains in. full smoky beauty
Band all of the bear “family.”
Charleston. West Va. followed
I with more exquisite scenery.
We were surprised at all the
[ tobacco growing along the road
| but not as much as at the apples
Igrowing wild and many going
to waste. Naturally, we made a
^Hquick stop to pick some.
| A small town of Clarksburg,
' W. Va., was our next stop with
a stay in a hotel as motels were
virtually non-existent there. We
viewed glass making in this re-
gion twice.
Heading north we journeyed
to Pittsburgh, Pa. This major
city staggered us with its “big-
ness.”
In fact, it was so big we never
did find the motel where we had
reservations but located one that
would put us up in fine style.
Wo window-shopped that night
to regain the strength in our
legs after so much riding.
Due to studying literature we
made a change in our plans
and left Pittsburgh via the
Pennsylvania turnpike and
headed for Chatham, N. J. Dusk
almost beat us to the home of
Elbe and Paul Anderson and
they were a sight for sore eyes.
Time escaped us as we re-
lived the six year* we were
next door neighbors and then
caught up on the two years we
have been separated by nearly
two thousand miles.
Under their kind guidance, we
toured New York City, viewed
the Statue of Liberty, visited a
winery over 100 years old, rode
a subway train, attended the
New York World’s Fair and al-
most saw a Yankee ball game—
what a madhouse that area is!
Thanks to my mother using
air mail I got a copy of the
Texan while in New Jersey.
After leaving New Jersey, we
decided to take in Philadelphia.
History sings out at all sides in
this great old city. Part of our
visit here included a tour of the
United States mint—the original
in our country. Machines were
working all over the shop turn-
ing out all denominations at the
rate of 300 coins a minute in an
attempt to ease the shortage.
Unfortunately, no coins were for
sale.
The Liberty Bell was as thrill-
ing to view as I had imagined
but there was considerable re-
construction taking place which
detracted from the dramatic ef-
fect at present.
A three day stay in our na-
tion’s capital really opened our
eyes. What a remarkable place!
This reminded me of college
teaching me how much T don’t
know. Washington. D. C. showed
us just a little of what we could
see.
There is still much to do and
see before we return to the
Bayou City and next week’s
regular column.
LICENSED VEHICLES
If you find it harder to find a
parking place, here’s why!
State Highway Department re-
ports that it has licensed 5,632,-
373 motor vehicles this year,
ranging from the 747,734 in Har-
ris County to 184 in Loving
County.
This is a gain of five per cent
above last year.
