In these fields, the crops are being harvested. From a mile and a half up, they seem to be good crops. Looking down, you'll never know that a war had passed this way. It strikes you as odd. But war . has always been that way. Its searing fingers touch relatively little. TO an American, the country beneath . looks strange. We are brought up to think of agrl cultural country in terms of A FARM with ITS HOUSE (and barn and sheds, etc. ) These fields below are HOUSELESS. Each hedged or fenced holding lies flat and unencumbered. But every mile or so is a village, not much more, usually, than a wide spot in the road, but with trees and houses, solid brick and stone houses, roofed with slate or tlln and usually there is a church. II Is in these villages that the . Illlers of this soil dwell, and by the luck of traffic on the roads one gucses that they walk back and forth to their work. Or that, when they ride, they ride for the most part in carts drawn by horses. In Europe, you see, where peo ple are so much more numerous and land so much less plentiful, there Isn't ROOM for individual ; family housing on each farm on , the American scale of magnifi- cent distances. It just can't be. . And so on to Paris. THERE is this to be said for modern travel by air: When it brings you into a town, it first gives you a birds-eye view by . which to get yourself placed. And " so it is with Paris, spread out in , the flat valley of the Seine, the gentle hill of the Sacre Couer its - only elevation worth mentioning. You see the twisting river, with Its island in the city's center (his . lorlc He 1C la Cite), with the gardens of the Tuileiles and its ; Louvre and the Place de la Con . corde on the right batik and the Chamber of Deputies, and the ' Qual d'Orsay and farther on down the Eiffel Tower on the left bank. . From the air the Eiffel tower looks like a heap of old rusty scrap Iron, and you are amazed that night to see it lighted up and looking lis if If has been newly painted with aluminum paint. Under your eyes are Notre Dame and the Place Vendome, mid the Avenue des Champs Elysee with its Arc de Triomphc at the Plate d'Etoile and on out the Bols de Bologne all clearly recognizable from the pictures with which you have been fa miliar since childhood. THEY all look so close together You think to yourself: "Shucks, I can get out In the morning and see all these things on my own two feet and (he heek with cab drivers and such." When you try it, as soon as you gel a little lime to pare, you net a shock. Distances are deceiv ing from up in the air. But Paris IS a convenient eily tu see. Its great monuments of history and of beauty are con veniently bunched, so that if you will use discretion AND the con venient and amazingly under standable subway you will be able to see the bulk of it before your feet give out. Walking is after all the only . way to see any city that is worth ; seeing. If you try to get whisked around on wheels, you'll come away with nothing more than a , .1 LABOR DAY SAFETY . . . .1 By Charles V. Stanton We are urged by numerous organizations, agencies and departments to use our editorial influence, if any (which we doubt), to caution motorists about the necessity of safe and sane driving over the Labor day holiday. Not too many years ago we kept our population increase within bounds by slaughtering vast numbers on Fourth of July. But in spite of our drastic methods of massacre, popu lation has continued to grpw steadily. Then we took to cele brating Labor day more enthusiastically and we have suc ceeded in about doubling the two holidays neck-and-neck Leading the casualty lists are automobile accidents Coupled wiUi the motor vehicle wrecks as causes of fatalities are drowning, sunstroke, over We seem to have a good ing our spirits, bottled and We don't imagine it will ists. The average driver happen to two other guys "fill 'er up" again, rejoicing in the new-found freedom of travel, and glorying in the return to service stations of high- octane gasoline, an even more high-powered product than before the war, he has the nearest hospital. New high-powered gasoline, however, doesn't add any substance to threadbare tires. along at slow speeds, petted develop into nn advanced 1945 model simply because of an injection of super fuel in the A wave of roadside tragedies is certain to result unless motorists keep in mind that far below the mechanical status of the free and easv prewar days. The National Automobile following: Approximately ,55,000,000 passenger cars are In service today, whloh means 100,000,000 tires In steady use. Yet OPA had only rationed 43,000,000 new tires from the beginning of the war until the end of last month. This means that 57,000,000 or 57 per cent of the tires on which the people of America now are riding are only slightly less than four years old. The same precarious conditions prevail with cars. The average age of all cars now in the hands of the public Is eight years, while some four and a half million cars In dally service are more than 13 years old. Before the war, an eight-year-old car and a four-year-old tire were, generally speaking, considered of little value for practical Statistics released by the veal that on Labor day in 1941, the last prewar celebration, highway traffic was four times normal volume. An even greater prpportiomite increase is anticipated this year, be cause many motorists wiJI be jreeuom irom restriction.

It's your own two feet or not at all. , ' BY present air facilities, down town Paris is about four bonis distant from downtown London. It takes about an hour to get from the center of London out to the airfield and get going, about two hours to make the actual trip and about another hour to get from the airport to downtown Paris. This will doubtless be speeded up considerably when private traffic j;ets under way and fully organized. Girl Drowned During Course in Swimming PORTLAND, Aug 30.
