Youth Reported Killed in War Meets His Mother Here
Mrs. Byron Everson, 1920 Dewey Blvd., is a happy mother. Her son has come home. Reported dead in the World War, then heard of only to be lost again, Lawrence Hightower surprised her recently by walking into the Everson house and throwing his arms about her. The 27 year old son had not seen his mother since, as a boy still in knee breeches, he answered the call to arms in 1917.

Barrow Pusher on World Trek
Eglensburg, Wash.- A 47 year old former Montana cowpuncher, Larry Hightower, was striding along at four miles an hour today on the first leg of his wheelbarrow-pushing jaunt around the world, a 12 year project. Wearing a red flasher on his coattails to warn drivers, Hightower started over the Cascade mountains towards Seattle steering his 55 pound, white-painted wheel barrow containing a radio receiving set and personal belongings.
His 20,000 mile itinerary goes from Seattle to San Francisco where he will board a boat for Hawaii. He plans to island hop to the Asiatic mainland, then push along to Portugal to take a ship to New York.
