Scouts March
“Oh, my aching feet!” This is
a familiar phrase since the Scouts
have begun marching. Bob Em
mons and Sgt. Granfield keep the
girls and boys moving at a rapid
pace around the gym. The drill
is well worih the time and blis
ters because the Scouts are get
ting in condition for marching in
the Fourth of July parade. Are
they starting early? Not at all! It
takes many hours of drill to be
come a good marching unit.
These Scouts are fortunate to
have Mr. Emmons'and Sgt. Gran
field donate their time each Fri
day for this instruction.

Couple Returns From Rugged Jeep
Journey From Alaska to Argentina
SAN PEDRO, Calif., UP—A
young California couple returned
Monday from a 22,000-mile jaunt
by station wagon and amphibious
ieep from the Arctic Circle to the
tip of South America—the first
ever to make the trip by “land”
vehicle.
Frank and Helen Sehreider had
to go to sea three times in the jeep
to do it, nearly floundering.
They docked Tuesday aboard
the Grace Line freighter SS Santa
Juana, which brought them from
Valparaiso, Chile.
The Schreiders—he is 33, she
is 29—left Circle City on the
banks of Alaska’s Yukon River in
July of 1954.
They say the first leg, from Al
aska to Helen’s parent’s home at
Storm-Buffeted Ship
Smashes 150 Feet of
Cement Dock at Seward
SEWARD UP—A storm-buffeted
Coastwise Line vessel, the Pacifi
cus, broke loose from her moor
ings Monday and virtually demol
ished 150 feet of an adjacent ce
ment dock. „
The vessel first broke loose at
about 5:30 a.m. After it/smashed
into the cement dock, a tug vain
ly attempted to fasten a line on
the Pacificus. The line broke and
the sug subsequently was dam
aged when the large vessel’s pro
pellor hit its stern.
An Army tug later succeeded in
securing a line on the Pacificus
after battling stormy seas for an
hour.

FOR PICKUP
JOE AMAROK, Proprietor
Valley Center, Calif., via the Al
can Highway and U.S. 101, was
“routine.” They drove it in a sta
tion wagon.
In California they bought for
$210, and spent $2,500 equipping,
a 15-foot-long amphibious Jeep of
the type used by the armed forces.
The rough part started in Mex
ico. The trouble began there with
gaps in their thorofare, the Pan
American Highway.
The first was a section between
Mexico and Guatamala, jungle all
the way. For 10 days they took
turns hacking down bushes, trees
and vines to clear a path. They
forded more than a score of rivers.
The most terrifying stretch was
a run thru Atlantic waters be
tween Panama and Colombia.
The Jeep had six major ^break
downs, but each time Frank was
able to patch it together or find
spare parts.
Now they are home they plan a
book and a movie travelog. Frank
shot 20,000 feet of color film along
the way. *
Would they do it again? “Not,
says Helen, “for a million dollars.”
