RIVERS Y?w <Mdy and I arrived home about 4:00 Sunday ifter noon . . . much earlier than we had theufht it would be. Ju*t happened to be one of those time* when everything worked well. No rain after we pasaed St. Louis, most lights cooperat ed by turning green as we ap proached them and traffic was lighter than usual. We saw one minor accident which we think is a record for such a long trip. Jane, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with you and Art . . . my only objection being that it was not nearly long enough. The dinner Tuesday night was superb, and it was good to see both of you looking so well. The drive fros Chattanooga to Nash ville is beautiful . . . even ran into a portion of Defense High way about midway between the two cities and this was an un expected pleasure. I stopped in Nashville for lunch at Holiday Inn and went on to Paducah, Ky. where I met your daddy, as planned, for the trip on to see Rachel (in Columbia, Mo.) It is now possible to make this trip, eat all meals and stay overnight in Holidays Inns, which we like very much. By doing this we are assured of good food and nice comfortable beds ... to say nothing of the $5,000,000 insurance they carry on all guests while registered there and for twelve hours following check-out time. As usual, Rachel, the journ alism banquet was wonderful and our visit with you was still better. We enjoyed meeting more of your friends and wish we could have stayed longer. I forgot to tell you I met Robert Hyland following the banquet Friday night. Jane . . ^ he is vice president of CBS Radio and general manager of KMOX in St. Louis, who was one of 7 receiving an honor award for distinguished service in journ alism given by the University of Missouri School of Journal ism this year. I think he is the second person In radio to ever receive this award. He made the best speech of any I heard and I told him so. My com LONG WAIT TO WED West Torrington, Conn. ? Fifty years after the engage ment, a couple of lovers were finally married. Polly Ann Rowson, now 72, received an engagement ring from William Ward, now 71, in 1B13 but Ward met and married another girl during World War I. After his wife died he began courting Miss Rowson again. She said she had never consid ered marrying anyone else. Airline stewardesses fight retirement at 32. neat J seemed to highly please him . . . and this was not idle chatter. He was outstanding! Now I wsnt to continue our tour through the Johnson home. We came out of the bedroom wing, through the foyer and in to the dinette and kitchen. The walls in these rooms are dooe in soft gold, the chintz draper ies have a small design of gold, aqua and green on a beige background. An antique white ornamental chandelier with gold trim is used in the dinette. The built-in desk just inside the door is of the same design of the kitchen and dinette cabin ets, which are done in soft beige with gold trim. In the kitchen, the most com plete one I have seen, they used two turquoise refrigera tor-freezers on opposite sides of the room. The matching stove has two ovens, a rotis serie, four burners and a filter fan. The stove and the stain less steel sink are the latest things to come on the market. The sink has triple compart ments, two large sinks on each side of a smaller one that is the disposal. Another nice feature is the crystal closet that is en tered from the kitchen. The walls of the closet are lined with rows of narrow shelves and loaded with beautiful cry stal. I stood there and drooled! Beyond a sliding door is the utility room, a half bath and through a door in the utility room is a large storage room filled with a big variety of food. In addition to all this, they have underground cables for their television and electricity . . . and four apartments with mighty nice people living in them. I had a good time and I sincerely wish both of you could have been with me on the tour. Love, Mom
