To meet the architectural trend toward smaller homes and apartments most of the new units are styled along trim, tailored lines. Metal lej?s for rich, wood table tops are employed cleverly to achieve the light look so important to small rooms yet without sacrificing the strength and durability of more massive furniture. The Modern tables shown above are mahogany in a light blond finish that emphasizes the natural grain of this fine cabinet wood. The hairpin legs are of black wrought iron. The end table has an unusual look-through glass top section. In the coffee table there's a handy drawer-tray for reading matter you want at your finger-tip, but out of sight. The thick glass top slides so you may easily reach either of the two deep sections. The keynote of all new furniture designs regardless of the style or period is functional practicality. Heppner Women Tell Of European Tour "The trip was wonderful but it but cling to the traditions of their seems mighty good to be home" forebears. They fail to do as much as inev couiu wmi me tilings aver Mrs. Clara B. Gertson and Mrs. Pearl Devine who returned Friday from an extended Euro pean trip which took them to England, France, Germany, Bel gium, Holland and Denmark where they attended the Inter national Convention of Soropti mists. They spent several days in London and were impressed by the antiquity of the city. Much of it remains the same as it did cen turies ago and ravages of the blitz of World War H are still in evidence. London seemed quite that are available to them. For instance, the cherry and plum crops were in abundance this year but most of it went begging for lack of canning. Mrs. Gert son states that the guides on these tours worked hard during the tourist season and for the rest of the year are content to live off the dole rather than look about for some other type of employ ment. Americans do not pay the purchase tax on articles that they are to take out of the country. This tax is on all exports so that the English will not buy 'the grey and sombre compared to the, woolens and other manufactured cities of Belgium and Holland. 'goods that the country exports to They were taken on a tour of St. Paul's Westminister Abbey, Cathedral, The Old Curiousity Shop, made famous by Charles Dickens, and many other histori cal points. At Buckingham Pal ace, they watched the changing of the guard, an impressive cere mony. Here, as in all the Lon don parks, the grounds were planted with trees and shrubs but few flowers were in evidence; even the grass seemed dry and sere. The guide told the group that the Queen was not a garden enthusiast. The people of Eng land seem apathetic and full of self-pity, apparently waiting for some outside influence to come in and settle their economic prob lems for them. They have not adapted themselves to the social changes of the post war period STAR THEATER, Heppner Enjoy our fine array of August entertainment in cool comfort . . . and we do mean, comfort I We can switch off the cooling system in the theater now and don't have to freeze you.

REMEMBER The boxeffice closes at 9 p. m. Anyone coming later than that will not see a complete program. other sections of the world According to Mrs. Gertson, Hol land shows the most progress of any country visited in its return to normal conditions following the war. Here the people freely admit that without the help of the Marshall plan they would never have been able' to arrive at their present level. Holland is a very clean-looking country and much of the debris if the war has been cleared away or that which could not be moved has been disguised with plantings of beautiful flow? ers. The people of Amsterdam were very friendly and courteous and were especially gracious to the Americans. The Peace Palace at The Hague proved most inter esting with its impressive statu ary and magnificient art collec tions from every land. The grounds are beautifully land scaped with flowers and shrub bery. In Brussels, they watched the work of diamond cutters and saw the making of some of the famous Belgian lace. Here they were housed at the Grande Hotel, a large and famous hostelry. In Copenhagen, the convention was held at the Oddfellows Pal ace, a large and fabulously dec orated building. Copenhagen proved to be one of the cleanest cities visited and everywhere flowers were growing. Here the principal mode of travel is the bicycle which is handled In traf fic much the same as our auto mobiles, the hotels here were very interesting to the ladles. Upon registering, three keys were given to themone for the front coor, another for the door of the floor on which their room was located and finally a key to the door of their room. The lights in the halls are operated automati cally and if left on over the pre scribed length of time will turn themselves off. The first night they arrived, this happened, leav ing them at a loss in a darkened hallway. The Heppner women did not have too much trouble with the language problem as one of the group could speak Danish and usually their guides understood English. One of the most famous restau rants in Copenhagen is Osker Davidsen's sandwich shop where the menu is exactly four feet long. They insisted that three sandwiches be ordered and this is really more than can be eaten. Food in Denmark was ample and very good. Another striking fea ture was the air raid shelters which are still intact and can be put into use at a moment's notice. While In Holland the two made the boat trip to the Isle of Mar kern across the Zuider Zee. Here the natives still dress in the pic turesque costumes of ancient Hoi land. Paris was the last city visited. Here they saw Versailles, the Louvre, Norte Dame, The Eiffel Tower, The Arc De Trlumphe and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They made the tour of the fam ous night spots and dined at Bal Tabarin where the cast is either "un" or "over'1 dressed. They had dinner at Maxim's famous restau ranta haunt of Aly Kahn, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and other notables. The food In Paris was excellent and well ser ved. They found the shops very expensive and the French on the alert to pluck the unwary tourist. In France, a feeling of dislike for tne Americans is very apparent. During their cruise along the Seine, they saw a large sign read ing "Yankees Go Home!" About 45of the French population is Communist which probably ac counts for the feeling of hatred toward the United States. Paris is a very dirty, unsanitary city and is poorly lighted at night. All the buildings have heavy shut ters which are closed at night so that no light shines through the windows creating a "brown-out" condition. The food In England, except for that served at the Savory and Simpson's, two of London's oldest, most famous restaurants, was un savory and poorly prepared and the service extremely slow. On the English trains, there are no refrigeration facilities and the food served in the diner was al most at the spoiled stage. Mrs. Gertson and Mrs. Devine returned on the S. S. Mauretania. From Le Havre the ship sailed to Cork, Ireland where it anchored in the bay and 300 additional pas sengers were taken aboard. These were transferred from shore to the ship by the ferry boat, "Kil larney", since the harbor is not deep enough for deep sea vessels. The return crossing was very rough as the ship sailed in the wake of the hurricane which lashed the coast of Georgia last week. The strong gale seemed to stand the ship on end at times and the waves reached a height of thirty feet. Frames were placed around the edge of the table and the table cloths were dampened so that the dishes would not slide around during meals. Chairs were an chored to the floor by rope. Many passengers were seasick and several were injured by falls. Mrs. Gertson and Mrs. Devine proved good sailors and were not ill ex cept for a slight uneasiness dur ing the storm. Both Mrs. Gertson and Mrs. De vine agree that the trip was very exciting and informative but the Statue of Liberty or "The Old Lady" as she is more familiarly known, was a welcome sight. They feel that those who com plain and criticize the U. S. way of life should make a trip to Eur ope and thus learn to appreciate our blessings more fully. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. O'Connor of Fallon Nevada and Don Bennett of Babbit Supply Depot, Nevada were weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. LaVerne Van Marter, Jr. They left for their home Monday. Mr. and Mrs. W. W.
