George Fractures Leg With more than 10,000 miles of auto-touring, plus 1500 miles of water travel and half way across the nation train-riding behind him, Joe L. George, joint proprietor of George Brothers' Pay'n Takit store here and manager of the Payn Ta- kit Liquor Store, returned to Ju- neau aboard the Canadian Pacific stcamer Princess Norah from the States Heading south from Juneau short- y after the first of this year, Mr George made brief stops on busi- in Seattle and San Fran on his way further south by t to visit his father, Mike George at Pasadena, California. After a month at Pasadena, arded a train again to head acre ntry to Rochester, Minnesota, where for five days he was under he care of the celebrated Mayo Srothers' Clinic. Leaving Rochester he went to Detroit to take delivery of a new maroon Packard coupe and commence his motor travels. At Old Family Home Tieaving Detroit by the under-river tunnel to Canada, Mr. George toured castward through the Province of Ontario to Niagara Falls, where he crossed back into the United States and stopped five days, enjoying the sights of the honeymoon mecca Leaving Niagara, his next stop was al Lis old family home at Paw- tucket, Rhode Island, where he re- turned for the first time since leav- ing at the age of twelve. After renewing relationships and old friendships there for nearly a week, Mr. George motored through the outskirts of New York City and south along the Atlantic Seaboard to Florida, where, setting out from Jacksonville, he made the complete 950 mile circuit of the Florida coast ne bo: Heading west again, he hugged the Gulf shore across Alabama and Mississippi to arrive in New Or- leans just in time for the Mardi Gras. Fortunate enough to secure hotel accommodations in that crammed carnival city, he remained there five days, including three days of Mardi Gras revelry which he de- clared to be alone well worth all his journeying. He described the sen- sation his car with its Alaska license plates created when he first dri up before his hotel in New Orleans; attracting hundreds of people who crowded so closely about the car that he had difficulty in opening the doors to emerge. Visits Distillery From the Mississippi port, Mr George headed back up through the heart of the Nation to Detroit for a tune-up of his car at the factory then retraced his route southward to Arkansas. Enroute south he stopped for a day at Peoria, Illinois, to visit the world’s largest liquor dis- tillery operated there by Hiram Wal- ker and Sons. | Facing westward again from Ar- kansas, Mr. George sped through Texas and New Mexico into Ari- zona, where, after keeping about three days ahead of storm and flood on all his previous travels, ad- verse weather caught him and he was forced to battle through a sand- storm that stripped all paint off the nose of his car and pitted wind- shields. Back at Pasadena, he spent an- ,other ten days with his father, who during his son’s second visit had the misfortune to fracture his leg falling from a tree he was pruning Finally, after passing through thirty states and one Canadian pro- vince, Mr. George arrived back into Seattle, where, after having the sandstorm ravages to his car, re- paired, he boarded ship for Juneau. Business Conditions Mr. George reported finding busi- | ness conditions apparently favor- able through most of the Nation and said that he had been informed by one reliable insurance company ex- | ecutive that prosperous times are ! expected throughout the country later this summer. In Seattle, he found businessmen, in general, looking to the adminis- tration of newly-elected Mayor Langlie as a great boon, while union circles point to Mr. Langlie as a fore-runner. of doom. All is very much still in the air, however, re- garding the salmon cannery situa- tion, Mr. George stated. Although his trip was mainly re- creational, Mr. George completed business transactions for his firm in several cities he visited. Although he would like to repeat his journey, he is glad to be back in Juneau. “We are very lucky in having here none of the absolute destitution I saw in several of the States, notably Michi- gan,’ Mr. George declared.
