I tz--eH-IsIn Demand As Speaker I Following a spring like Sunday On South America with the mercury up to 46, resi- dents awoke Monday to find a light snow falling which continued quite steadily for 36 hours, including all day Tuesday, dumping a foot of wet snow on the landscape. Motorists found chains almost a necessity and many cars were snowed in until driveways and streets were opened. Bright sunlight on Wednesday started the snow melting and the pavement on primary roads was bare by this time. Mount Vernon Rural carriers were able to deliver mail to nearly Due to increased interest in South America .by the general pub- lic, and Rev. C. F. Hartzcll's first hand knowledge of that continent he finds himself very much in de- mand these days. Churches, grade schools, high schools, Rotary clubs, Professional and Business Women'e clubs, Missionary Societies have all called upon him the past few weeks. Thursday evening, March 13, Dr. Hartzell will give his lecture "Our South American Neighbors" before the members of the American Le- gion Auxiliary, making his sixth ad- dress on South America In Ana- 'mona in less than a month. Rev. and Mrs. Hartzell spent nine years in southern Chile. Rev.

Harold Beach assisted him and they did quite a little walking. ROAD PATROLMEN BUCK Wff SNOW County road patrolmen found the heavy, wet snow fall of Monday and Tuesday hard to handle. Bernal Walmer on Tuesday went south of Mount Vernon on the rock road past the cemetery and back into Lisbon with the diesel patrol with a plow then going north out of 1As- ben and returning, covering 12 miles in all. By the time he start- ed back the wind was drifting the snow so he could hardly see where the plow had been. Lester Caraway and Virgil Long- erbeam took the truck with a plow and went west thru Bertram to the paving and from Mount Vernon to Springville. This outfit couldn't do a very good job with the wet snow. The packed, wet snow was too much for the truck plow and it folded up on the Charles Wickham road on Wednesday. It is expected to be repaired and back in use by this afternoon. Elections Are Held In Rural Districts School elections were held in sev- eral of the surrounding schools on Monday. Joe Jiroutek, was elect- ed director at Riverside; Anton Biderman was re-elected director of MeRoberts. No election was DRA%VS US TOVtARD WAR Dr. C. F. Llttell said he was un- alterably opposed to interference of America in war time with things outside our nation. The people have a right to know whether our frontier is on the Rhine, the Eng- lish Channel or 6,000 miles weet of this nation. The United States has not had a definite foreign pol- icy. Since the quarantine speech in Chicago, in October 1937, the President has been drawing the na- tion straight towards war as fast as a reluctant people could be drawn. The speaker thought there were three out of four chances that perpetuation of the British Em- pire would be impossible, because she does not have the men or re- sources to play .power politics which (Continued on Page 8) HSBON HAS 75 NEW Seventy-five books have *been re- ceived from the Des Moines travel- ing library for a three month's cir- culation through the Lisbon library.

The son of Thomas and Bridget Lynch ================================================= he was 'born in Ireland, Jan. 21, ======================== New School Directors Recalls Early Days In Cedar Rapids, Mount Vernon The first of the charter members of the Hawkeye-Record's Fifty- Year Farmers club, Charles Travis of Mount Vernon, was born in 1858 four miles west of town on a 287- acre farm owned by his father, Daniel Travis. The site of his prig- lnal home was near to the present residence of Fred St~neking. Daniel Travls acquired the land from Andrqw Safely, who had ob- tained the acreage from the gov- ernment. Many interesting boyhood exper- iences are recalled by Mr. Charles Travis. He recollects, for instance, when Marion was the flourishing metropolis of the county and Cedar Rapids was a small place located mainly on what is now First street. RECALLS RIVER FERRY What is now Cedar Rapids' west side was then known as Kingston. Mr. Travis says, and was formerly ,cached only ~by ferry boat. When the first bridge was built across the Cedar river pedestrians were charg- ed a toll of a penny a.piece and wagons 10 cents. "~edar Rapids had the right kind of men," Mr. Travts says, "while Marion fought off the first packing plant and th cereal mill, Cedar Rapids welcomed them, and they helped make the city." His early memories of Mount Vernon go back to the time when all the buildings on ,Main street were of wooden construction and the Cornell campus was surrounded by a board fence in order to pas- ture cattle. BERTRAM POP~U,~-- ,Mr. Travts received his early schooling at the Caraway school, which at one time had 64 .pupils. This condition was due to the pres- ence of many woodcutters in the timber near Bertram. During this era Bertram was quite a populous place housing four saloons and was noted for wild escapades on Satur- day nights. "rhree teachers of Mr. Travts at the Caraway school were Ella Ox- ley, Tom Colwell and Mike Cava- naugh. Mr. Colwell lasted only three weeks, .being unable to quell the bad boys who made him the target of their corn shooters. Mr. Cavanaugh succeeded him and gave a whipping to the bigger boys. He spent a number of terms at the school and M~r. Travis remembers him as a fine teacher. Despite the hardships of country life in that day, Mr. Travis 'believes that folks had better times then than now. During the winter neigh- bors used to assemble first in one home and then in another, and the children and adults both reveled in simple pleamwes. Another early memory is the troubles of the North Western rail- Httgh Roberts Photo CHARLES TRAVIS road trains in making the steep grade west of Mount Vernon. In those days the grade was not cut down as much as it is now and the little locomotives of that time often became stalled. A pusher engine used to be kept regularly at Ber- tram and sometimes another en- gine had to be called out from Lisbon. The first track of the North Western line was laid to Cedar Rapids shortly before he was born but Mr. Travls says his father used to tell how the railroad celebrated Its extension by giving free rides to l everyone from Cedar Rapids to Clinton. They gave only the one- way trip free, however, and some of the folks without money for re- turn fare had difficulty getting home. SINGLE-SHOVEL PIA)%V As a young man Mr. Travls plow- ed with a one-horse single shovel outfit and it was necessary to make two trips for each row. The first riding plow ever turned out around here he says was made by a man named Kynett at Lisbon. Mr. Travis was married to La- Vcrna Buscnbark in 1886. A few years later he traveled to Center Point one day to buy cattle but bought a farm instead, securing improved acreage for $38 an acre. The Travls' lived there six years, then selling the land for $65 an acre :and returning to operate the orlg- !Inal Travls farm west of Mount Vernon. On this place they lived until the death of Mrs. Travis in 1917. Mr. Travls moved from the place in 1921, Four children of the Travis' include R. A. Travls and Oren Travls of Mount Vernon, Mile of Cedar Rapids and Mrs. Ira Mills of Cedar Rapids. 1868. When he was three months old the family came to the United States and to Iowa where they set- tled in Cedar county. On Jan. 7, 1907, he was united in marriage with Miss Lottie Gibbone of Lisbon, .Mr. Lynch was a long time resident of Mechanicsville, where he served as mail carrier for fifteen years and was a veteran auto salesman. Funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock Friday at St. Mary's Catholic church in Mechanicsville with :burial there in Rose Hill ceme- tery.

Fifty copies of this Hymnal have been provided by generous folks in the church, who have been anxious that "the best Hymnal in Methodist History," should become the must- cal inspiration of the service of worship.

IREPAIR I GLASS WINDOW IN Two artifices from Chicago and several local assistants put the large stain glass window, which fills almost the entire west side of the ,Lisbon Methodist church, in- to perfect repair last week. This wonderful window, for design and color, was placed in the church forty-two years ago, when the building was erected. Heavy north- west winds had loosened the rods and weakened the joints, and it became necessary to give it this at- tention to save it in beauty for fu- !ture generations. The fee was $100.00 and that was but 5 per cent of the original cost. One will look far to see a more beautiful window in conception and i picture. The colors are as bright and delicate as when placed years ago. G. L. Fankbouser Is Buried At Lisbon Funeral services for Glenn Leroy Fankhouser, in charge of key. G. S.
