23-Day Wostora Jaunt — 3
Girl Scouts See Sights
In Unique San Francisco
(EDITOR’S MOTE: Th* follow-
ing story it th* third in a series of
a day by-day account of Livingston
Girt Scout Troep One’s 23-day trip
through the western United States
this summer and was written by
the four Scouts taking the trip:
Misses Suzanne Korhman, Sand-
dra Coogler, Sue Peters and Dolor-
is Reeder.)
TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1960
We left Loe Angeles after having
a wonderful tifhe. Enroute to San
Francisco, the drive was beautiful,
the ocean, the mountains, and the
cities. r
We arrived in San Francisco
about nine O’clock and checked
In at centrally located Hotel Strat-
ford, right in front of which runs
one of the famous cable car routes.
San Francisco is one uf the most
beautiful cities in the world. It
rises on a hilly peninsula between
San Francisco Bay and the Pacific
Ocean and It is filled with excite-
ment and experiences for visitors.
Amoung other things, it is the
birthplace of the United Nations;
city with the largest Chinese settle-
ment, outside the Orient. It is the
business and finance hub of the
West Coast, as well as being one
of the fashion centers of the world.
It is said that a visitor can eat
in a different restaurant each
night in the year and not be disa-
podnted a time.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 6
We caught the Cable Car and
went to Fisherman's Warf, a bit of
Naples to the eye, a paradise for
seafood.
Here we watched the fish boats,
saw De Maggio’s restaurant, and
ate lupch at the famous AUoto’s,
After lunch we boarded the
"Harbor Queen Boat,” and went
on a bay cruise for three hours.
From the boat we got tieffic views
of the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel
Island, Historic Fort Point, Trea-
sure Island, Telegraph Hill, Coit
Tower, and even went within 200
yards of Alcatraz Island Prison.
Tonight we went to China Town,
where we enjoyed the exotic at-
mosphere where the Blast meets
the West. While there we ate din-
ner at a Japanse restaurant. Here
we pulled off our shoes before en-
tering a private dining room, sat
on the floor to a delicious oreintal
In The Spirit Of Helpfulness
tS&
To relieve the family of
all worrisome details and
surround final moments with
beauty and dignity is ever
our aim.

President Le Brun of France
placed a wreath at the pedestal'
of the huge statue at Soimons
which was dedicated to those who
died in the second battle of tha
Marne. It also expressed France's
thanks for allied help during the
great war. — —
It was suggested to V. A. Col-
lins to run as a candidate for
congressman from this district.
He modestly, replied. “Naturally
I feel very much complimented. It
was somewhat of a surprise to
me, but if a sufficiently large num-
ber of my friends want me to, I
might consider making the race.”
.,. 1935 was the year that voters
decided in an election that Polk
County would remain dry—1060 to
811.- ,
Mrs. W. L. Crawford was hon-
oree at a bridal shower given at

Davis served as hostesses. There
were five tables of bridge. Miss

Duck hunting season was cut to
30 days. Live decoys were cut out.
This was one erf the most effective
methods of luring the migratory
flocks to the blind. The 3-shell
limit was placed on autoloading
meal and had quite an experience
trying to eat with chop sticks.
After this we went to “Nob
Hill,” one of the ritzer sections
of San Francisco. We visited the
famous Mark Hopkins Hotel atop
Nob Hill and went to other plush
hotels, shops and theatres.

and repeating shotguns. __
A new meat market was opened
by B. Rowe, Jr. It was located on
South Main across the street from
the Harrison Hotel in the build-
ing formerly occupied by a res-
taurant.
It was brought out that there ia
a right way and a wrong way to
broil meat. The secret of this
simplified method was in placing
the meat far enough from Jthe
Dame or beating element that by
the time one aide was nicely
browned, it was about half done.
A new name was found for the
Livingston Fire Department truck.
Seeing it move off slowly and cau-
tiously, someone dubbed it "Noah's
Ark.” As Christmas was drawing
nigh, the firemen were in high
hopes of getting a new fire truck
from Santa Claus.
Work on the Leggett building
was progressing rapidly according
to A. R. Richardson, contractor.
This building was one of the most
modern buildings in the city at
that time.
Plans for a new county Jail
were being made. The building
was built large enough to ac-
comodate 35 to 40 prisoners; The
estimated cost was $50,000.
The school lunch program which
aided in providing lunches for
51,000 children weekly was dis-
banded and citizens were advised
to look to their own resources.
Cotton Certificates were deliver^
ed to growers In Polk County.
Under the Bankhead Law farmers
had to have these papers before
they could get their crop ginned.
Leasing of land with the right
to drill for oil was increased ac-
cording to one Livingston abstract
man, who expressed the opinion
that there was as much activity
as there had been during the
weeks just after the first shell
well was brought in in 1933.
It was advertised that onlyChev-
