H0odsp0rt Woman Describes Trip
To Australia and
By Joyce Scott
OODSPORT. Two hours
slipped by like minutes as I sat
catting with Rule Dickinson
about her recent trip to Australia.
Many travel, but not all have the
ability to relate their experiences
in such an interesting manner. It
really wouldn't be a bad idea for
us to chip in and send Rule off to
all the interesting places we long
to see, than sit at her feet. so to
speak, and relive the trip with her!
The S. S. Liberia, carrying 1,300
passengers and a crew of 700, left
Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 10. The
first night out they met HEnri-
cane Karen. The winds were fierce
enough to toss the ship so that
Rule, good sailor that she is, was
the only one at her table for five
days. A one-day stop each in San
Francisco and Long Beach made
it possible for her to have a brief
visit with friends in both cities.
Five days at sea brought them to
PIonolulu, where a day was 'spent
touring the island. Their next
stop was Yokohama. Rule took
a four-day inland tour which gave
her a new appreciation for the
Japanese people a.s she was able
to meet and mingle with them in
varied situations. The millions of
people and the over-crowded traf-
fic conditions, especially the 600
express trains daily in operation
in Tokyo, were a sight to behold.
And from her vivid description, a
horror to board or to depart from
as .they stop for only one minute.
Fifty-six tourists were in her
party so the guide hd to be an
expert to get them lined up and
instructed so that no one was left
at the station! New highways
and new buildings were much in
evidence as Japan is busily pre-
the Far East
ship next docker] in HonK Kong,
in the harbor at Kowloon where
150 ships were tied up. A friend
of Mrs. Nancy Yates was very
gracious in showing Rule around
Hang Kong. At one time they
were in an area where they could
look over into Communist terri-
tory. Rule had her first rickshaw
ride here. The man she judged to
be past sixty, ran twelve blocks
nearly as fast as a taxi would
have been able to go. The gov-
ernment has built huge apart-
ments, housing as many as 3.000
in a single building in an attempt
to do away with the thousands of
squatter's huts in the slum area.
Mrs. Dickinson found six people
living in a single room about 10
by 12 feet in one of these build-
ings.
Leaving Hang Kong, they sailed
through the China Sea enjoying
soft Trade Winds and sunny skies.
Manila was the next stop. A visit
was made to the William Mc-
Kinley MonumEntal Cemetery
where there are 70.000 graves,
only 17.000 of these being nmned.
Each grave is marked by a marble
cross or Star of David brought
from Italy. In the three major
colleges in Manila over 100.000
students are enrolled. In spite of
the cultural trend and the lovely
flowers. Rule felt this city dE-
pressing due to the sight of these
many graves of tim war dead and
the extreme poverty seen on every
hand. Seven days at sea brought
them to Sydney, Australia. where
friends she had made on a trip
to Europe several years ago met
her. The next two weeks were the
most interesting and educational
of the entire trip. She visited
Carn beE'ra, the capital city, and
paring for the 1964 Olympics. Old Glory flying over our embassy

I have no desire to take any-
thing away from anyone complet-
ing a 10ng and faithful service to
his public but I would remind you
that this same group of PUD ad-
ministrators has not always
drawn the same compliments from
the public that the Journal has
so often bestowed on them.
It was essentially this same
group which built the oX, ersized
PUD office building in spite of
repeated protests from large num-
bers of aroused customers. It was
this stone group which spent thou-
sands of our dollars building a
switching station without permis-
sion in a residential zone, only
to tear it down again after the
error was made public. It is this
same group which still upholds
one of the highest electric rate
structures in the state, long after
the necessity has become doubtful.
The Journal hastens to tag the
newly appointed PUD manager as
a protege of these men who,"ex-
pert continuation" of policy, but
I prefer to believe he has a ind
of his own and will profit from
their mistakes.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT S. HOIT.
USE THE PULP MILL
Dear Sir:
As others write in their ideas,.
I thought I would try it. I don't
know as tt wiIl do any good, but
I have been tiinking of this for
sometime, and it dosen't hurt to
try. rm thinking of the old pulp
mill that has been standing empty
maybe the farmers round about
would be interested in raising ve-
getables, fruits and other kinds
of produce. Also this building is
situated right on the waterfront
which would bE ideal. This is
just a thought.

were heard from local people as
well as outsiders. It is most fit

ber and other organizations were
used m more concentrated mau-
ner £or the first block on Railroad

Plans for the future seem to favor
doing a good job on one block at
a time. The long range plans now
being formulated will attempt Lo
keep the business sections of
Shelton on a par with the residen-
tial sections, which were really
