Anyway we had several TV. trays which served as: well. That was: six months ago! During the summer we had house guests. We made them welcome and entertained them: to the best of our ability. When summer was over a thank-you card and a: par- cel arrived. The: parcel contained a big ash-tray, light and dark brown and bright orange in color with Stickers on it stating it is a Fine Arts line and comes from ‘California.

I stopped ‘searching and: tried to content ‘my- self by admiring the ash-tray where it lay—on the television. Of course it couldn’t be seen unless one walk- ed across the room and stood there. I would sigh and ‘say: to. myself: “Someday, someday!” Then the sales started, and one afternoon. when ‘I: should ‘have’ been tion, threw on’ my coat and ran: for the: bus. . I-headed ‘straight: for the furniture store and the coffee tables: I was ‘shown several and it looked: as though it was going. to’ be’ the same old story. -The-‘first ones were too expensive, ‘the-next ‘were: too dark a finish, another was the right. fin- ish but’ too. small‘to“be practical. “Have you no. others,” I .asked, “something sort. of between this and that?” “Yes, right over here we have some more.” “I. followed the .salesman “and looked at the table he pointed out. It was long and narrow with a beau- tiful grain and walnut finish.’ This was it!

This is just dandy, and as we are well known interna- tionally as. strong silent backwoods- men, except possibly for Lester and John, iit -has been-a great advantage to us when we come ‘out from ‘the frozen notth, to. be able to paddle our -fur laden canoes straight.down to, civilization. “ Unfortunately, there has been some slight whittling away of.. our. historic > Mighis.

My own plan is: to launch a boat at- the border and row. downstream, chanting something like: ‘‘Astoria or Bust.’’. At the first dam we bump into, we'll flourish a- copy of the Oregon.
