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.
