Travelers All Set for Voyage To England - Visit to the Ould Sod
Including Call At the Ancestral Joynt Home in GalwayDrs. R.J. Joynt of Le Mars and M.F. Joynt of Marcus will leave Saturday night for Washington D.C. After a day there they will proceed to New York to embark next Wednesday on the S.S. United States.
Frances Nemmers, who had half a mind to go with them, couldn't get a ticket.
The two doctors will land at Southampton, England, and there will meet Dr. R.J. Joynt Jr. and Mrs. Joynt, who are living at Cambridge. Dr. Joynt is a Fulbright student, doing post-graduate work on neuro-physiology. Recently he was made a fellow of the Royal College of Medicine.
After four or five days in England, the two local doctors, accompanied by young Doctor Joynt and his wife will proceed to Dublin, Ireland. Dr. M.F. Joynt will attend a national meeting of obstetricians at Dublin. They will then rent a car and will make a tour of Ireland.
(Ireland is about the size of Iowa. They figure they can make it in five or six days.)
Among the places of interest they expect to visit are the Lakes of Killarney, the River Shannon, County Galway (and they're going to see the Moonlight Over Claddaugh, and Watch the Sun Go Down on Galway Bay.) They'll wind up by kissing the famous Stone of Blarney castle.
At Cobh, Ireland, they'll catch the S.S. America, April 15, and will land in New York April 20.
While in England, they'll also take a short plane trip to Paris.
