PACE THREE SOCIETY and CLUBS By Janet Wray Smith Foreign Cars Interest Us It would be nice If someone could stop all the car with far-away state license plates, and ask the drivers about the interesting things they are undoubtedly doing.

If there were only some hardy soul who would flag them down and ask them what they think of this great country, without appearing too much like a hitch-hiker, Jackson county might start some sort of guest book, with space for remarks.
