FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1935.
THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET
A composite letter from the
three scouts, Dick Marriott, Ray
Wilde and Albert Pratti now on
tour of the United States was
yesterday received by the Nevada City Nugget. It follows:
Leaving Salt Lake City at 8:30
Wednesday evening we arrived at
Grand Junction, Colorado, at 5
o’clock in the morning. For several
hours after that we followed the
beautiful Colorado rive through the
beautiful country. At two in the afternoon we reached the Royal Gorge
and Royal Gorge and the Arkansas
river. The train stopped there ten
minutes for us to view the Hanging
Bridge over the river 1600 feet high,
The train stopped at Pueblo a few
miles below the Gorge and there was
a rush for souvenirs. Here we changed to the Santa Fe, which made very
fast time to Chicago. We arrived in
Chicago the next afternoon, stopping
on the way at La Junta to. be entertained by some scouts performing
Indian dances.
CHICAGO SIGHT SEEING
Our troop was lucky in getting
the top of the first double decker
bus in Chicago for sight seeing. We
took a two hour bus tour around the
city and along Lake Michigan. After
supper a visit was made to the Adjer Planetarium, an exhibit remaining from the World’s Fair. The
scouts exclaimed this to be the most
wonderful exhibit they had ever
seen.
Leaving Chicago at midnight on
the Michigan Central we arrived in
Dearborn at seven in the morning.
Here the scouts were taken in -fifteen new Bord buses on a two hour
tou through the Ford plant. Following that they viewed Ford’s famous
Greenfield village, which was probably the most educational part of
_ the trip. The fellows got a kjick out
of riding on the old coaches and carriages around the village; getting
out here and there to visit the numerous historical buildings.
NIAGARA FALLS
Saturday afternoon was spent in
riding across Canada. We were igspected by the customs officials 04
the border across the river fro«
Detroit. The train stopped at Falls
View on the Canadian side, this was
our first view of the falls. We then
crossed to the American side, and
our troop took a two hour ride in
cars around the different parts of
the falls and river and whirlpools.
In going into Canada again were
again inspected by officials, also on
returning ‘to the United States.
In the evening we had the opportunity. of seeing the Falls lighted
up. We left on the New York Central at 9 that evening and arrivea
in West Point at seven o’clock in
the morning. We marched around
viewing the grounds at West Point
and then attending Sunday chureh
services with the cadets in the open.
Following this our troop visited with
the two cadets at the academy from
our council. They. were Elliott Ank,
of Roseville and Warren Chapman of
Nevada City. Both were glad to see
us and told us about their ‘experiences there. Elliott is in his second
year. Warren ‘had been there only
two weeks.
IN NEW YORK
Arrival in New York City was
made at noon Sunday. After getting
settled in our hotel and eating we
started on an afternoon tour around
the city. We took a ferry out to the
Statue of Liberty and climbed up
It is 301 feet
high. In the evening we visited Radio
City. This visit surprised the scouts
beyond astonishment. Seeing radio
into the top of it.
couts Write of Tour
of Nation’s Big Cities
' aboard the largest ship in the world
night view of New. York City was
seen.
Monday morning the Empire State
Building was visited. It is 1250 feet
high, 308 stories and takes a minute
to reach the top in an elevator. Most
of the fellows sent telegrams home
or to friends from the top of the
building at special ates. A wonderbuilding at special rates. A wonderfrom the top. Later. in the morning
our troop visited the National Council office of the Boy Scouts of America at 2 Park Avenue. Here Chiew
Scout Executive West personally .
presented. each Scout in our troop .
with a jamboree neckerchief and .
neckerchief slide. On our way back .
to dinner we stopped at thé Boy
Seout Trading Post, where all. the
boy scout ifficial equipment is sold.
NORMANDIE INSPECTED
‘That afternoon we saw the New
York Giants play the Cincinnati
baseball team. The Giants won 4-5.
Wednesday morning everybody went
the Normandie which was docked
about eight blocks from the hotel.
This huge ship was a city in itself
accompanying 2200 passengers. That
afternoon we were the guests
Jack Dempsey at his. cafe where he
personally greeted each scout and
gave him a souvenir sports book.
The scouts enjoyed rides on the elevated railroads, the new 8th Avenue
Subway which travels about 70 miles
an hour, traveling 65 blocks.in 5%
minutes.
Leaving Jersey City at midnight
Tuesday, we arrived in Philadelphia
in the morning at seven. We visitea
Independence Hall, saw the Liberty
Bell, but did not get a chance to
ring it. Saw where Washington was
first inaugurated as President. The
scouts were awed by the very narrow streets in Philadelphia;. some
of the main streets being only wide
enough for one way traffic. Everyone saw the home of the Flag of our
country at Betsey Ross’s home on
Arch street. Around the corner from
this place is Christ church. In Philadelphia we visited also Scout Headquarters, natural museum and the
city park, before leaving for Washington, D. C. :
ed the site where the. Jamboree
tents and camping equipment erected. We were there on the opening
day August 21. A stop was made at
Arlington Cemetery, viewing the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier; then
Lincoln Memorial and.the Mall. After eating supper a two hou tour
was taken around the city seeing
the government buildings and the
parks. This tour ended at the White
House to see and listen to the broadcast of the President to the scouts
all over the country. Through misunderstanding at the last minute we
were not able to see. it. It was a
great disappointment to the. boys
