This one is for a stretch this Way from Lucas to the Clarke it county line. That is the Hilly piece of no. 34. It is pretty straight but it is Hilly and the pavement in bad shape. Reports from Osceola Way to effect that pavement was built in 1930 a Over 30 years ago. It had Early trouble of breaking up because of so Many Hill Side sleepy places. / / you suppose he s got a new set of blueprints another piece around Tibia is about to be paved. They have been straightening it lip cutting out kinks and turns All Over the place. That is going to be a line piece of Road. And with the newest improvements coming up. No. 34 will soon become the Cross state thoroughfare it should be. There is a lot of future for 34. He Are glad to see the Highway commission giving it the attention it deserves. The annual note from it. Pleasant. They Are getting ready for their annual old settlers and threshers association meeting. The old steam engines really draw attention. It is scheduled sept 9 through 12. Always draws a lot of folks including some steam engine experts from around Here. Then they Are adding a feature this year. They Are going to have an old fashioned Chautauqua with entertainment each evening. The Chautauqua item will draw a lot of memories for those who can recall the 1920s easily.

Sometimes had a morning Bible hour or something of similar nature. In earlier years it was common for folks to set up a tent on the grounds Camp out As it were for the duration. A regular summer Outing for the family. Of course those were Days when transportation was not so easy and flexible. People spent vacations at Home a or just did no to take any. Now with vacations More diversified and far Flung the tenting out at Chautauqua pretty tame. But we suspect the it. Pleasant affair will draw quite a few just for old times Sake. Art Holbrook who lived in Creston out crated Hill top acres until a year or so ago now of Chandler ariz., sends along a copy of the a Arizona Hays and ways Magazine which has quite a piece on Dick Wick Hall a a native of Creston Iowa.

His stories of people Stop it ing in Salome to buy Gas or something to eat became legendary. He develop a some philosophy. Outside of real Money he said that false Teeth est it scially from women the Best Security one could get in payment for five Gallons of Gas. One could be pretty sure of getting his Money Back for them he said. Another Good item of Security was a wig. Seemed folks wanted to get those Back too. Hall died in 1926 and is buried at Salome. Quite a bit is being written about him these Days. In addition to the Arizona piece another feature item brought in by Merwyn Allen also written by Roscoe g.
