Mr. and Mrs. Walter Eckert re- turned from a nine-weeks' vaca- tion trip to the east and south last Sunday evening and report a perfectly wonderful time. Miss Louise Natschetm, Mrs. Eckert's sister, had planned this trip ahead of time and accompanied the Eck- erts. Miss Natschelm had cov- ered most of the territory before which made it doubly interesting for all. The Eckerts still say, though, that there's no place in the whole wide world as nice as Wasldngtom They encountered quite a lot of rain, especially in California. Mr. Eckert visited different Kiwanis Clubs. Their biggest thrill was the visit to the Carlsbad Caverns, in New Mex- ico. Mrs. Eckert says it looks a little empty in that back room that has been the post.office for so many years and which moved to the store recently. Also their big red barn, a landmark on the is- land for a long time, is down to the ground. Eckerts kept a diary and have trucks full of travel fold- ers and we lmpe to get a more de- tailed account of the trip as time goes on. We've all been follow- ing these travelers around by the cards and letters they sent home. We're really glad, though to have these very pleasant neighbors home with us again. They're real- ly very nice to have around. Guess the best part of any trip, after all is coming home.
