On their return (Continued From Page 1) invalid 34 years, Mrs. Mendenhall believes a $300 pair of braces will enable her to walk again. Her husband has tried twice, once in New York City and a second time in Los Angeles, to appear-on a television program to publicize his plea. The wheelchair "was the only way I had to go," he relates.

He missed an appearance on the Art Linkletter show by 10 days in New York City and was turned down last month when he arrived in Los Angeles. "Didn't 1 give no reason, either," Mendenhall adds. The three -'yoar old wheelchair has logged over 30,000 miles in the coast-to-coast travels. "Only new wheels I've had is that little wheel behind there. Wore out 12 of The Mendenhalls travel light, with a small thermos bottle, a water bag, and a blanket roll which he straps across his back.

They left El Dorado June 28 and crossed Kansas and Oklahoma before they were picked up on their longest ride from Amarillo to Phoenix. They completed the trip with a second ride into Los Angeles. The couple remained in Los Angeles only overnight after n- denhall's request to appear on the program was denied. They walked most of the way across the desert area in south ern California and Arizona, then got another ride from i 1 cox, THE PARIS NEWS, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 8, 1956 9 Arizona, to Midland.

"Rode the bus when I had the money," he explains. "Left Midland a week ago today. Since left Midland we've done mostly walking. "My feet get mighty tired." There were rides between Big Spring and Fort Worth and Grapevine and McKinney. They covered the Honey Grove to'Paris hop by foot and chair Tuesday.

"Most people don't know that chair will fit in a turtle hull. That's the reason we don't get rides." Mendenhall, 52, has found "people in some places are pre 1t nice. Some places they're pretty snooty. "Haven't had no trouble." On flat terrain, wide roads and 'when it's "not too hot," Mendenhall can cover 40 miles a day pushing the wheelchair. In 100-degree weather like Tuesday, he doesn't walk over 15.

Desert is worse than mountain travel, he admits. "We try to live a Christian life," the traveler tells. "We don't ask for nothing." They sell pencils, gum and candy "in towns where t'hey let us." In Louisville, he hopes to work at Churchill Downs race track while his wife vends the small items from her chair. "I've given up the programs," Mendenhall says. He'll try to make enough money in Kentucky to buy the braces.

Recently such a petition was signed by more than 90 per cent of the voters in the North Paris area which was taken into the Paris Independent School District in 1947 but was not included in the Paris Junior College District. The law further provides that the tax paid by the remainder of the district may be placed on the new area by an election in the entire district. The election August 18 will allow residents of the new area to pay a 20 cents per $100 valuation, if it passes. However it will have no effect whatsoever on the amount of tax in the original district nor the Cunningham School District, which is now a part of the college district.

Approval of the action will enable those students in the new area to attend the local junior college at a lower tuition rate than students living outside the PJC district. It also will give the voters of the area an, opportunity to vote in elections for regents and other college district business as well as simplifying assessing and collection of taxes. Notices of the election have been placed in the Paris Junior 1- lege, Paris High School and Cunningham High School. Handling the ballots at Paris Junior College will be Mrs. L.
