Dear Aunt Louise, As the cruise ship sails along on the Alaskan Island Waterway an old song keeps running through my mind. The singing class of the Oak Cliff Elementary School was divided into three sections. One group would begin lustily singing Row Your and when they reached the down the the second group would row, their boats. The third group would do the same forming a three part harmony with a room full of second graders singing their little hearts out. Oh this luxurious liner we do not have to row.

We sit in our stateroom and sail leisurely and merrily down the Waterway. The was named from a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge many years ago. The ship is a little jewel by any standard, complete with ancient Chinese decor accented with jade and many objects of art. The passengers aboard ship are the same people as everywhere in the world, traveling for relaxation and pleasure. Ladies in stretch pants, a few costumes that are a complete disaster, and men mostly retired, smoking cigars or pipes relating tales of other travels and generally boring each other with their importance.

Also aboard are several children who know every inch of the ship and while we confuse starboard with port, aft and forward decks, they act as volunteers showing poor old landlubbers the way to the dining room. The crew is a United Nations! The Captain is Spanish, a dashing dark-eyed, bearded geneleman who blushes! The Cruise Director is a suave Austrian and the chef, bless him, is Swiss and a real Genius. The rest of the crew are from Thailand, small in stature but perfect in their serving of passengers anticipating our every need. The tiny hostess in the dining room stepped right out of a painting in her brilliantly colored Thor-Silk gown, heavily beaded, her slanted almond shaped eyes shining above her sultry smile. The Captain was host to a small dinner party to which we were invited.

Among the guests was a sweet young thing who became alarmed when a sudden squall made the ship roll. She turned to him anxiously and asked you are having all this fun, who is Smile. There are several would be athletes aboard who don strange get-ups and immediately after breakfast walk the decks. Round and round they go, heads high, chests out trotting and gulping in the clean cool air I get my exercise by watching them, turning my head from left to right, then back to the magazine I am reading. Being on the water brings back memories of my first cruise.

I had been chosen to take part in a under-sea movie to be filmed in Panama by a producer who needed a model who was blonde, free to travel and able to swim. I filled the first two requirements and was not completely lacking in the third as I did a very neat When the chips were down, 1 found I was in the same position down under water breathing through a rubber tube clad in a bathing suit and a mask. Air was pumped to me by two men who spoke no English. When I needed air or wished to come up from the deep I was told to tug at the tube and they would pull me up and out. It is well that I was young and foolish, as well as fearless, for these two men quarrelled and began a fist fight leaving me tugging a tube that suddenly became limp in my hands.

They had left their post and for me it was sink or swim. I threw off the mask and kicked and scrambled my way to the side of the boat and heaved myself on deck, never more to enter those waters again for the coral reef had left me scratched and scarred. My part was insignificant to the plot sot he whole episode was wasted except for a lesson I learned about cruise ships. In order to get to Panama I was booked on a small ship with a group of New Yorkers out for a good time. lesson Number One: Never take winter clothes to a tropical climate.

Not knowing the rules I entered the dining room the first night aboard the ship attired in a black velvet coat, veiled hat, black suede shoes and gloves! Trying to appear mysterious, as befits a movie star, a la Myrna Loy, I requested a table for one. I looked about the elegant dining room and there were no hats visible, the ladies were in casual light weight clothes and it seemed they were watching me with amused expressions. I ate very little even though I was very hungry. Suddenly the ship began to roll and I arose from the table leaving a tip by my plate for the Aunt Louise it if if waiter thereby learning Rule Number Two: Never tip until the end of the voyage. The waiter kindly returned the tip and so enlightened me.

By morning I was desperately sea-sick. Mol-de-mer had completely taken me over and I almost got my wish, the overwhelming longing to die. There was a knock on the door of my little cabin and a gentle lady, who had noticed my absence from the dining room at breakfast, entered and said she would like to help me. I shall never forget that wonderful woman who took me under her wing, sharing her wardrobe and insisting I sing along with the five-piece orchestra that played at mealtime. I obliged with little persuasion and became the child of the passengers.

Rule Number Three: was quickly learned yourself no matter who or what you When I became the dumb kid on my first boat trip I began to enjoy myself and evervone around me. This is our first trip to Alaska and we are struck with the beauty of the ship, but more by the scenery our Creator has provided. On both sides of the water, as we glide by, are mountains that reach high in the sky, topped with snow that resembles powdered sugar sprinkled on their chests. Trees of every shade of green, hemlocks, spruce, Jack-Pines and a forest of Christmas trees. Here and there a water fall rushes down the mountain side in.foamy streams to the inlets below.

Pale blue glaciers dot the water on all sides and as I write this we are passing through Endicott Arm, no small feat! The Captain is very proud as this is the only ship that is able to go so near the gleaming blue glacier. The song is here again Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, life is but a or so it seems in this master piece of Fondly, Elaine Am so glad that you and your husband are having a wonderful vacation. Pleased too that you took time to write us. We miss Coker Family Has Reunion July 8 was the date of the reunion of the descendants of the late Tommy Coker and Mattie Coker, held at the Eureka Masonic Lodge.

READERS, have you been on a trip or have any news. Yours truly would be glad to publish it if you will write or give us a call. See you next Thursday. Gee Whizz, so many people have been on vacation yet I even ONE to report. Most of them that I run into say they did have fun but that now they need another one so that they can REST.

Smile! It seems that with so many Americans crammed together in our towns and cities the big thing is how to get away from it all. A majority of families seek the great outdoors. Sometimes they are lucky and find a nice quiet, cool place. Others end up elbow to jowl with people seeking the same quietness as they. For those of you who taken your vacation and plan to get in a little fishing here is a Polish Up Tip on Fishing Techniques that was sent to me.

Fingernail polish has invaded the tacklebox as fishermen find more and more uses for the brightly colored stuff. Dark red polish can be used to touch up chipped fishing lures or to add color and patterns to dull drab ones. Put a few drops on silk or nylon winding on a rod to keep it from raveling. Even braided line can be protected by dipping it in polish. also an excellent sealer for bolts and screws in reels.

Just coat the threads and tighten them down. be caught with wet matches when ready to cook your catch. Nail polish waterproofs the heads of matches which will burn readily when they are struck. Now, that IS A TIP TO REMEMBER. Mrs.

Gober, manager of Diana Shop, Downtown Corsicana told me to be sure and remind YOU to stop in for free coffee and donuts (see ad in paper) during their Christmas in July Sale. We have received in the mail from time to time a card or a letter from people who are traveling and have seen funny signs. This one is just UNUSUAL. I was at the Hilltop Feed Company on Highway 31 talking feed and seed with Rachel Brewer when I noticed sign on the refrigerator door. Grade A Large Eggs for Sale, 65 cents a dozen.

panic, it is True! My son Mike called me from Austin last Sunday. He said that he and his wife Sue were coming to visit parents, as her two sisters were in Roane with the Garland I exactly understand when visit me but while I was cleaning the kitchen shelves the other night I uncovered our trusty ice cream freezer. It is old fashioned and you have to crank it but it sure makes good ice cream. I just MIGHT put Mike to work when they come over. The following is one of our favorite recipes.

Just thought share it with you. Peach Ice Cream 4 pounds ripe peaches V2 to cup sugar dash of salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract cup sugar 2 cups whole milk 2 cups whipping cream. Pare and slice peaches. Stir in sugar and salt and let set in the refrigerator until sugar is dissolved. Combine vanilla, sugar, milk, and cream.

Partly freeze until mushy; remove dasher and stir in peaches. Continue freezing until firm. Yield: nine servings. Quote: c-o-p-i-e-d, Remember, these trying times will be the old in just a few years.

He said his store offers "something different" in the way of clothes, posters, and other items for Corsicana shoppers. (Sun Staff Photo) Kosmic Shop a Growing Place Some people said is just not ready for when Rick Dodson opened The Neon Sky poster shop on West Seventh Avenue in August, 1971. Today, Dodson is still in the poster business but has expanded his stock to include clothes which appeal to the apparently lucrative market. Most of the customers who shop at new store, The Kosmic Shop, at 107 South Main Street, are 12-25 years of age, but it is not unusual to see parents and even grandparents walk into the store to buy clothes, gifts, and trinkets for teenagers at home.

Crippled Hubbard Getting Back on its Feet Fast By JIM BUSH Golden Circle Reporter HUBBARD Pounding hammers, whining buzz saws, and roaring heavy machinery have become an everyday sight and sound in Hubbard. Rebuilding of the homes and businesses destroyed by the March 10 tornado is now in full swing. Presently, about three new homes have been completed, around a dozen more are well under way, and many more have been staked off or at least planned, according to the Hubbard City Office. Construction of the Missionary Baptist Church has begun, including the pouring of a foundation late last week. The Church, directly south of the Hubbard Fire Station and present city office, will be wood frame with brick veneer, ac- coring to carpenter-contractor Larry Gaddis.

The inside of the 3,580 square foot structure will include an auditorium of laminated beams and three by six inch decking. The Church will be paneled throughout, including the offset Sunday School rooms. Architect Marion Reed estimates it will take about nine weeks to complete the building. To the west of the Church on Main Street, tornado- demolished Drug is being replaced by Brazos Building Systems. Contractor Jerry Stillwell said the foundation will probably be poured the first part of next week.

The 50 by 140-foot building will be Delta metal with brick trim and will cost an estimated $70,000. The drug store, owned by Morris Woods, will probably be completed outside by the first of November, according to Stillwell. Brazos Building Systems will also begin next week constructing a warehouse for the William P. Jarvis Co. at 100 N.

Magnolia. This building will be 60 by 120-feet and will also be Delta steel. A new Hubbard First State Bank Building has taken shape next to the mobile home which was quickly converted into temporary bank headquarters after the tornado. The new 60 by 120-foot brick building will cost in excess of $120,000 and will be finished by early November, and hopefully sooner, according to president Louis Holman. Across the street and north of the bank, leveling work has begun on the site where a new foot building will privide office space for businesses and individuals, including Texas Power and Light attorney J.B.

Davis, Anderson and Anderson Insurance, and Scott Riddel. The building, which is located where the original First State Bank stood before it was destoryed by the tornado, will also include a walk up window for bank customers. The office building will be of brick and glass construction, and is being built by Seatex Construction of Waco. It is to be completed in an estimated 90 days, with work to start in a couple of weeks. It will probably cost in excess of $64,000, according to Holman.

Eubanks Funeral Home is being rebuilt at 206 N.W. Third to replace the downtown building destroyed by the March 10 twister. The 6,300 square foot structure will be finished sometime in November, according to co-owner Bill Eubanks. The new funeral home contains a chapel capable of seating 250 persons, Eubanks said. The building will be brick veneer in colonial style.

Other buildings being replaced or rebuilt in Hubbard include Super Save Grocery, Community Chapel Pentacostal Church, Church of God, and International Harvester. A new city hall is also being negotiated and work is expected to begin soon. Interest Rate Hike To Hurt Ennis Boom? ENNIS The increase in the prime interest rate on some cases to 10 per cent of the total slow down the current building boom here, according to Ennis Chamber of Commerce manager Jack McKay. McKay made the remark when asked about the Ennis Industrial progress in selling sites in its new industrial park on Highway 34. He said that before the interest rates took such a leap he had firm offers from several companies, but that he does not know how they will react to the interest hike.

$150,000 will be spent on the 65-acre tract on Highway 34 to prepare water service and roads for the proposed development, according to McKay.

He moved to Arlington and opened business as The Kosmic Shop for a while, then decided to move his store back to Corsicana in June, 1972. I rented this store at 107 South Main and began work on it July 4, 1972, it had three sinks and a thousand pipes sticking out of the wall. It used to be a barber Dodson said.
