| Transcript | THE ZEPHYR Monthly Bulletin of the Outdoor Nature Club of Houston, Texas* March, 1926 Vol. 3, No.S I meant to go to my work today -- But a brown bird sang In the apple-tree And a butterfly flitted across the field, And all the leaves were, calling me. And the wind went sighing over the land, Tossing the grasses to and fro, And a rainbow held out its shining hand — So what could I do but laugh and go? re*£i -■* Richard Le Gallienne. The Annual Flower Caravan An automobile tour through one of the finest scenic sections of Texas at the height of the wild flower season, providing opportunity to learn more about the natural beauties of our state, become better acquainted with our neighbors in other counties, and enjoy a healthful outing with congenial companions — that's the delightful plan now being worked out in detail by a committee of club members meeting with representatives of the Houston Post-Dispatch, under "whose auspices the trip is to be made. _ , Bigg Such an expedition, carefully planned and managed, and sponsored by a great newspaper, will doubtless result in benefits along many different lines. Photographers, artists and writers should find a rich field in the territory visited. Nature lovers will have wonderful opportunities for observations on eyery_phase of natural history. Public attention will be JreSBed to the necessity for good roads, the practical value °L _r_:ctlve scenei*y» and the advantages of a closer relation- s.*f oetween the inhabitants of neighboring communities. It will be a fine chance for the family "flivver" to show Its best paces in friendly rivalry with other "species" of automobiles, and Houston dealers will probably be represented bv their favorite cars. inquiries received indicate that a large number of people will join in the caravan. In order to handle such a large group with a minimum of uncertainty, delay and discomfort, some necessary rules will have to be agreed upon. Full details as to roads, time of starting each morning, towns along the route, hotel accommodations, evening program, etc., will probably be printed and a copy furnished evervone participating in the expedition. A feature of the campfire program will be a visit to starland, with L. H. Daingerfield pointing out the planets and other glories of the firmament. There will also be interesting talks on travel and nature lore, and when the campfire burns low each night banjos and harmonicas will be brought forth for a round of melody and song before "turning in". |
