Andrus as they journey to Toronto, Tor-onto, Canada, to attend Rotary International. Mr. Andrus is president pres-ident of the St. George Rotar-ians Rotar-ians and Secretary of the Cham-licr Cham-licr of Commerce, and this trip, lie stales is really a honeymoon for he and Mrs. Andrus. News of their passing through P.iishnell, Nebraska, came Sunday in a fine letter from C. G. Wilcox Wil-cox of that city. ' We reproduce it in part: Eushnell, Nebraska, June 20, 1942.
