Dutson FILLMORE . by STELLA DAY All of my life I have en- joyed traveling, and have had tiie privilege of visiting in every state in the United States; all acroas Canada from British Columbia to Quebec, down into Mexico and into many foreign countries, including Japan, China and the Orient. Now that I am too old and too lame to travel, I am enjoying reading the notes I took on each trip that I have taken. I have always enjoyed writing, for which 1 am now very grateful, since writing keeps me happy many hours each day, when otherwise I might be lonesome. I can't walk any distance and I never learned to drive a car (not because I didnt want to learn, but because I had a heart attack when I waa young and my doctor advised me not to learn to drive or I might have another heart attack and not only kill myself but many others. I have never had another heart attack. In fact, I have had an exceptionally healthy life, and worked every day, even hard labor in my garden, and-o- h, bow I have wished I knew how to drive a carl Erven always said, 'I am so happy the doctor told you not to learn bow to drive a car or we would never know where you were, as you have so many projects.' I know Erven was right, for no one had better judgement than Erven, for even if I never drove a car, I have always had friends who have taken me whenever I have really needed to go somewhere and I am very for these grateful thoughtful friends. I have many bookcases in my basement where I keep stacks of memorandum books filled with accounts of places I have visited far my travels. I thought I would enjoy reading about the places I have visited, especially later in my life when I could no longer travel, and I do just that. On cold stormy days, I get out some of these journels, and immediately I am back whenever my notes take me. Since we are having a big snow storm today, I am visitin in the 5 southern states (when my notes take me). Therefore, I shall take you along tills time, since perhaps you have not been to the same places I went. Or if you have, you may have visited diffennt puts of these states, or even different sections of the large cities, depending on what an your interests. Most of my visits wen concern- of my visits wen concerned with Garden Gub work, or work which has concerned the General Federation of Womens Gubs. I am very proud of the accomplishments of these womens clubs, as you will guess when you nad some of these articles about the places I have visited. Each yeu I attended the National Convention of the General Federation of Womens Gub as well as the National Convention of State Garden Gubs. Sometimes, The American Rose Society or the National Chrysanthemum Society would have a national convention the next week following some other convention I wu attending. One convention might be in Boston and the next week one would be in New York. Thus, I would get a ticket with a stop-ove- r in New York or wherever the nearby city was located. Thus, I saved expenses in traveling, and enjoyed the many places I got to visit. One Southern States trip is outstanding in my memory. We flew to St. Louis, where the headquarters of the National Council of State Garden Gubs is located, for the convention of the American Rose Society. We enjoyed every minute, and when the convention was over, I joined members of the National Council of State Garden Gubs for a bus sightseeing trip to attend the National Convention of State Garden Gubs to be held in Miami, Florida. The first day, we traveled through the country side made famous by Harold Bell Wright in his book "The Shepherd of The trip the Hills. through the Ozark Mountains was very beautiful that time of year (late March) with the many types of shrubs, including azalias all in bloom and dozens of novelty shops all along the roadside, and because we were in a special chartered bus, we stopped every once in a while to shop, when we saw tilings which interested us. We crossed the Mississippi River from Branson, Arkansas, to Greenville, Mississippi and through wooded countryside to Vicksburg, where we spent the day visiting the many cemeteries and places made famous during the Civil War. We will continue this next memorable trip week.
