Show Pag Bght FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1958 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Lucille Rainey Describes DemoWomen's Tour to Washington DC New York j to grab a sandwich or a bowl of soup, so it was a weary bunch that finally had supper very late and crawled into bed. However, the ladies who were our hostesses were so wonder-fully appreciative of our courage in undertaking such a project, and so vigorously Democratic, that we were all encouraged. We were all presented with enve-lopes containing brochures de-scribing Wyoming and I speak for myself when I say that the cookies served ought to all have recipes in the Utah Democratic Women's cook book. I need cookies like I need a hole in the head, this I'll admit, but I'd still like to have those recipes. On this first day out, Ella Ed-wards, dubbed the "song bird," entertained and drilled us in singing a number of parodies she had written to popular tunes. All, of course, promoted the value of the Democratic Party and were rendered with much gusto. Later in the trip, after a couple of brief sleep sessions, her de-mand that we sing even met with a few groans and several lost voices, but the first day out we blasted that old bus good. Forgot to say that our last word from our driver was to the effect that he had arranged a five a.m. call. We were to be aboard the bus at six a.m. Holy smoke! He looked like he meant it, too!

We boarded our bus early on the morning of April 15, at the Salt Lake City Greyhound Ter-minal. Well-wishe- rs bade us good-by- e and I'm not afraid to admit that home looked awfully good as that bus pulled out to be gone for 17 days. Most of us had homes and families we were trusting (hopefully) to coopera-tive husbands and neighbors. Travel is tiring and 17 days looked like an awfully long time. We left Salt Lake in fairly reasonable order but we han-dled that with efficiency and dispatch and by 9 or 10 o'clock we had achieved the wonderful state of bedlam that continued throughout the trip. First on the agenda, of course, was an individual though unani-mous effort to really give the bus driver a thorough -- scrutiny. Well, he looked all right. Big, good looking, and even an occa sional pleasant smile. But you know, this was a serious busi-ness, trusting one man to know the roads and to drive reason-ably and to be properly though-fu- l of our comfort. Imagine wrestling a vehicle that big with 37 back-se- at driv-ers! Oh, he took care of his job, all right! And sometimes I won-dered if he had made up his mind not to let us get away with a thing! First was the tactful handling of an item known as rest-stop- s. Most of us were distinctly un-comfortable by the time he had decided to let us rest. And be-cause facilities were limited, I suppose we did delay his pre-cious schedule. At any rate, after lunch at Little America, we were allowed a rest stop in the after-noon following a blunt dictum to the effect that were were al-lowed ten minutes, not eleven, and not twelve! A hurried conference among us led to the bright idea of pre-senting, wordlessly, with a mop! Couldn't though, not enough time to find a store. We did threaten him with it and he kindly offered to take time to do a little shopping on his own for a receptacle! The first day out was a little long and most of us were very hungry when we arrived in Cheyenne where we were to stay at the Plains Hotel. We were informed that the ladies of the Democratic organizations there had prepared a coffee hour over at the Frontier Hotel and were waiting for us. We all attended, only a few having presence of mind to stall just long enough m- rw ' Mint' Studying events of the day during a trip to Washington and other eastern points of interest are Utah Democratic women, (top two pictures): Lavon Dykes, Rachel Stoker, Hazel Fairlain, Sunda Brown, Elizabeth Vance, Ann Davis, Lenore Bjornn and Sunday Anderson.
