Journeying from the Northern Route through New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, lowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, re freshes one’s memory of Geo graphy, and allows the op portunity to see various pat terns of living. In spite of the spotty rains in Ohio, stormy weather in Nebraska, with hot and sunny days at Medicine Bow, Wymoning, there was a chance to enjoy special events and visit famous historical sites in each state. One of the most spectacular scenes was a view of Las Ve gas at night. The whole excit ing and glamourous city defies description by an ordinary lay man, With rainbow water falls and fabulously lit build ings, there were wedding cha pels interpersed, built with uni que designs. Compton, and Los Angeles, though hot ln the day, provid ed cool weathter at night, which was very conducive to l'estful sleep. The beautiful mountain tops, though form table ln appearance, and the long bleak deserts, were awe Inspiring. Disneyland (Fantasyland) holds both young and old spell bound. Most impressive and al most unbelievable was the life like manneguln of Abraham Lin coln, who sat, stood, spoke and mad? human-llke body, gyra tions, movement of eyes, facial twist as he delivered a speech in a theater. Visiting Universal Studios at Hollywood, you could almost become disillusioned when you see the facimtles of cities and buildings, as they are shown on screen and television.
