As we crossed western
Germany we saw harvest
scenes of potatoes and sugar
beets being loaded into crude,
wooden, cattle-drawn carts
largely by German women;
though the actjial digging of
potatoes was doge by a huge
rotating machine operated by
a man. And often we passed
such carts moving homeward
along country roads or In nar-
: row cobbled streets or ' vil-
lages. The women's heads
were covered with kerchiefs
and their faces were toil
worn, serious, but not neces
sarily unhappy, The seeming
shortage of male labor we at
tributed to loss of man-power
during the war. ,
For our. one-night stop in
Luxembourg, we stayed at
the Hotel Alfa, where, fol
lowing World War II, U.S.
Army officers made their
"homes." In a glass display
ease in the lobby were photo
graphs of Generals . Dwight
Eisenhower, . Fatten, Omar
Bradley, along with several
others. Among these whom
should we see but Major Gen
eral Leven . Allen, uncle of
Jim Allen, trusty pilot of our
bus! As chief-of-staff to Gen
eral Bradley, - Major-General
Allen also stayed at the Alfa,
All -the photographs were
personally autographed for
the hotel owners, who appar
ently 'did everything possible
to make the officers' stay a
pleasant one. It is said that
not one of the . generals can
speak of the Alfa without a
twinge . of nostalgia -Along
with ' their photographs was
one also of Perle Mesta, at
the time serving as U.S. am.
bassador to Luxembourg.
The Alfa is a comfortable,
modern hotel with Teal indi
viduality and style. In its at
tractive, dining room- .we en
Joyed a superb dinner. ' The
Alfa takes its place among
outstanding hotels at which
we have stayed during our
European travels, several of
them being German.
French Landscape - " '' v
. The French landscape
seems somehow more pastor
al but less, productive than
rural Germany. French fields
look less carefuliy tilled, with
haystacks wispy and scant;
orchards, - generally speaking,
neglected. - Red popples grow
like weeds in pasture and
beetfield alike, often blend
ing with golden-yellow mus
tard to create a striking .ef
fect. The vast acres' of, red
blooms blowing in the wind
paint a beautiful landscape,
It is hard to believe that these
pretty flowers are a wild
weed-nuisance. In all of
France we have seen,- coun
try roads - arc poplar-lined,
which - make for pictorial
driving. ,
With our first sight of the
Champs Elysees with its wide
lanes of plane and chestnut
trees, and the aroma of roasfc
ing chestnuts on- hot grills
along the sidewalk, the spell
of Paris lay upon us. The
wide airy avenues of Paris,
so contrasting to the narrow
twisting streets of most medi
eval European cities, create
the real aura of Paris, ' at
least for us. (Later, we tried
, roasted chestnuts and found
them delicious-somewhat like
hot. mealy sweet potato.)
' During our first days in
Paris, 'we vere fortunate to
have balmy clear weather and
enjoyed stroll ' along the
Champs Elysees, 'Rue de la
Paix, the Left Bank' the
Seine, Montmarte, etc. Leaves
were still on the plane (syca
more) and chestnut trees and
even in the rain 'they lodmed
vivid green tinged with - au
tumn yellow, a lovely sight,
A trip to the top of the Arc
de Triomph showed plainly
the tidy design of this part of
Parls-12 wide boulevards ex
tending ' outward from the
Arc like the spokes of
wheel; Napoleon, with his
grandiose dream-!, had much
to do with this original plan
in rebuilding the city, though
it was actually completed
after his time. .
Public Transportation
Both for purposes of con
venience and to give our driv
er Jim a rest, we store our
bus while in the largest cities
and. depend on public trans
portation, usually consisting
of taxi, street car and city-
bus. In Paris we became ac
quainted with the Metro, or
subway, which proved a con
siderable adventure to us
neophytes. The first exper
ience of our elghtsome, in
boarding and making trans
fers across the city of Paris
underground was one we'll
not soon forget. However, we
soon got the hang of it.
' What would Paris do with
out its Metro? What a strange,
lost-world-without-dlrection it
is with its labyrinth of under
ground chambers. So easy it
Is to head in the wrong direc
tion in making a transfer that
Almus threatened to carry a
compass. - A long the sultry
shadowy . corridors . papered
with bizarre commercial bill-
board s, begger musicians
plant themselves to sing or
play an accordion for pen
nies, and - throughout the
echoy chambers voice and In
strument resound weirdly, All
day and , night thousands , of
Frenchmen move in constant
crowds - shoppers,: laborers,
Parisians from every walk of
life, During transit they read
papors and magazines, sew,
sleep, examine -copy from
brief cases, converse, quarrel,
or argue -, with flourishing
hands. Young people,-com
pletely uninhibited, "heck"
openly In public, , -
Downtown Paris
The downtown streets of
Paris are crowded and busy,
the shops delightful with dis
plays of lovely beaded eve
ning bags, chic gloves, scarves,
blouses, lingerie, perfume, and
cosmetics by Elizabeth Arden,
Revlon, etc. In a travel
agency we read the following
caption:' -"Visit America with
Its enthusiasms, Its folklore,
its traditions, and its- great
hospitality. Visit America, not
only for Its great- cities, , but
its great-national parks with
their grand ; and savage seen-
eryl" . ; vc -.v.-
Gendarmes, wearing smart
short black capes which swirl

man could utter a single word
with his hands tied behind his
back!) Unlike the British bob
by, who carries-only a club,
th gendarme also wears i

The French are the most
nonchalant in heavy traffic
of any people we - have yet
encountered. In the midst of
noonday traffic we dbserved a
man - crossing a congested
street- while casually reading
a booty Astounded, we were
Unabl to tear-our eyes away

rived safely, Sure enough he
did, proceeding a mo n g un
equally ' congested sidewalk
traffic without even lifting

Stay in Paris
did he do it! I suppose only a
Frenchman couia.
The same "polizei" klaxon
prevails here in Paris as did
in Copenhagen, Vienna and
other large cities-a plaintive,
two-tone horn - sounding a
major third span as the polizei
car speeds up the street and
other- cars make' way for it.
We understand it was started
during the war, when a dis
tinction from the Invasion
siren was needed.
Shar Tables ,
For luncheon, sidewalk
cafes and little cellar cafes
are popular, ' both of which
we have tried. We found the
latter surprisingly gay In
sun-yellow, with a center dis
play table loaded with delec
table' looking ' pastries and
fruits. All tables are shared,
a nJ our table-companion
(most likely a Parisian bus
iness man) swilled red wine
with his steak, sopping chunks
of stick French bread into the
brown-broth: Then he ate an
apple tart and cheese with
knife and fork, smacked his
lips of a last swallow of wine,
murmured "pardon" and took
himself off. French shop-girls
poured in, all simply but ra
ther chicly dressed. Such a
jabber of lunch-hour French
gossip dribbled on our ears!
"As in Vienna and London,
the beehive hair-do is in
vogue. - A few , are striking,
but most, I'm afraid, look
pretty much a mess, and I, for
one, will be glad when this
fad is over, The secret appears
to be to let it go uncombed
for several weeks in order to
achieve the - proper 'casual
look. A recent issue of the
Herald Tribune (published in
Paris)' carried an article on
this current'style, from which
I quote: ' . ,
The beehive hair-do is all
the'' rage in Paris. Faces peer
out from piled masses of hair,.
arranged and draped in count
less variations, almost obscur
ing the eyes. From the neck
up, girls resemble the hir
sute inhabitants of the Ten
nessee back country, The
same Is true of the men, At
Latin Quarter sidewalk cafes
patronized by students at the
Sorbonne, one sees a brist
ling array of beards: mutton
chons. Van Dvkcs. Imnerlals.
and Father Chrlstmases. On
top of this, . haircuts .of any
kind seem to have gone out
of fashion.' As- one ' might
guess, the barbers of Paris
are In despair." "' C' ; y.V' j'
Men's Clothing
To add a word regarding
masculine - sartorial . appear
ance . . . Men wear pointed
shoes, as well as do women,
the trouser tightly gripping
the leg to the ankle like a ski'
cuff. And along with the bo
hemlan beards and pipe in
mouth, -they ; resemble - well,
to . each his own. We have
seen few French girls wear
ing low heels, the high-spike
being the thing, 'and skirts
are. short, short,, short. What
the well-dressed young French
boy wears for - Sunday-best
(we saw several one Sunday
heading for church),, seems to
be .very short pants, three-
quarter sox, and a beret-like
cap w 1 th, streamer, sitting
flat atop the head. The navy
blue i beret is still worn,' but
by-the older rather than the
younger Fronchman. i
Taken on the average nei
ther, the French girls nor the
men -. are as glamorous or
handsome as one might ex
pect. -Of course It isn't wise
to. make a hard-and-fast gen
eralization, and certainly if
true, this is nothing against
them, A more Important sur
prise Is . that we find the
French more friendly and
pleasant to deal with than we
had assumed. Our experience
has shown them to be neither
grasping nor dishonest, con
trary to what ' many travel
books represent. Two con
crete examples: When I drop
ped a small coin purse along
the - street, a Frenchwoman
came running after us, extend
ing the purse and crying ex
citedly, "Madame, madame-"
Another time, Angus by mis
take gave the hotel concierge
two 100 franc notes (worth
about $20.00 each) stuck to
gether, and the concierge
quickly discovered : the mis
take and returned one to him.
In only a few. cases have we
found palms extended for
tips, most often In rest-rooms.
At Maxim's
Certainly a highlight of
our Paris stay was a surprise
treat provided by Dort's sister
"Duffy," of Carmel,; Calif.,
who mailed her a generous
check to cover an evening at
famous Maxim's for out
elghtsome group. Th reserva
tion was msae for us by a
fruit Importer associate of
Carroll's, M. Roger Capgras,
without whose . cooperation
we probably shouldn't have
gained entrance to that popu
lar, lold-out restaurant. From
our' hotel we gals were whisk
ed to Maxim's by M. Capgras
and his lovely wife Yolande,
In their Jaguar, the fellows

ful evening it was for the tiffi
of us - the (frpgras seeming
to enjoy it as much as . we
wanderers. The food was per

ed festive sights of flambcs
desserU, including crepes su

MSDFORD MAIL
Maxim's, having, dined there
with such celebrities as Jean
Cockteau, etc., Is a man of
wide experience and talents
-equally at home in discuss
ing theater, politics, and yes,
pears! At one time he even
published a Paris newspaper,
The following day we went,
through his Invitation, to their
French farm, some 30 miles
from Paris, met his friend
and neighbor, M, Rollin,
chitect - orchardist, who took
us on tour of his fine golden-
Delicious orchardMost of the
Capgras ' farmhouse is 300
years old. A "new wing," as
they referred to It, we later
were surprised to learn,' was
added 100 years ago! ' The
house Is utterly charming and
tastefully furnished, by Mme.
Capgras herself. We were in
terested to learn that she, hav
ing once lived some 12 years
in New York,' still buys most
of her dresses there, which,
considering the fame of Paris
as a fashion center, is rather
surprising. :
Word Misuse o
. The tendency of the French
to mis-use the one English
word ' they' seem " to learn
first - yes - has been brought
home to us on several occas
ions." Our first brush with
this was while sailing oh the
Llberte.Francois, our dinner-
waiter, abused it shamefully.
When we would comrglment
mm on an especially nice des
sert it worked safely enough.
He would flash his charming
smile and nod, Yes, madame,
yes . . ." But one evening
when' a lady from- Portland
complained that an order was
left her by mistake, -Francois
bobbed Jiis head as usual, re
plied, "Yes, madame, yes .
and did nothing' about it. I
was tempted to experiment a
bid with his bluff to speak
English, just to (further prove
the point, and murmer bland
ly, "Francois, 'you are a fool."
Had I done so I'm sure Fran
cois would have flashed his
same,, w i n n i n g smile and
agreed, "Y e s, ,- madame,
yes ....." .:.!-...'
Another- brush, with this
habit of the French to mis
use 'yes": proved rather up
setting. Upon a' startling blast
of what sounded like a fire
siren just . outside our hotel
window, I rushed into the cor
ridor to see w h s.t was up.
Almus was up the street after
a newspaper, so I couldn't con
fer with him. Others of our
party were out. A young mo
ther with a tiny baby in her
arms also hurried to the corri
dor. She looked worried. To
gether, she in broken English
and I in broken French, we
managed to.', communicate:
"What shall we do?" I told
her to wait while I went to
our room phone and called
the concierge. "Is there a
fire?" I asked in English, for
the concierge with .whom we
dealt spoke fairly good Eng
lish. But this was a new clerk.
Yes, madame!' , :
Quickly I thanked him, and
hung up the receiver. Seiz
ing my purse and jacket,.
ruuhed back to tell the young
mother what I had learned,
She looked really frightened,
and decided to go downstairs
as she was, in her bathrobe
I rang (or the elevator. Upon
reaching the lobby we found
everybody seated calmly
about, reading. I decided not
to trust the desk-clerk s Eng
lish further and approached
a friendly looking American
and asked him what the siren
was all about. "Oh," he said
easily, "that's a rehearsal of
a raid-warning. They blow it
every so often just to see if
it's still working."
Relieved, the young mother
and I returned to our rooms
So you see, a mis-used French
yes can create a bid of chaos
The French do it probably
thoughtlessly, simply to show
their mastery of th English
language. Volla. .
There Is some tension in
Paris concerning the Algerian
situation. One Parisian re
marked to us: "France is ac
tually at war, you know. And
it's all so futile . . ."
Our chief entertainment In
Paris Included the operas
"Tosca," "Samson and Deli
lah," and "Faust"-at the mag
nificent rococo ' Paris Opera
House; two one-act modern
operas at the Opera Comique;
a. violin concert by Isaac
Stern, with the dynamic sym
phony conductor, Igor Marke-
vltch. And we all did the
Louvre, and Notre Dame, with
Its awesome, celestial duskv
chambers and famoift rose
window containing the most
exquisite stained . glass we
have yet seen. And then, of
course, the Folies Bergcre. '

Special Session;
Attorney Speaks
A special business meeting
of Women's Council of the
Medford Board of Realtors
will be held Tuesday, Novem
ber 1, at 12 noon at the home
of Mrs. Mary Fasel, 117 Ash
land avenue, the council presi
dent.
-Mrs. Fasel states that the
session is important, since.by-
laws and parliamentary pro
cedure for the new group are
to be discussed.
Sneaker for the October
meeting was Edward Branch-
field, Medford attorney, who
talked on Measure 13 on the
ballot in the coming general
election. The attorney said
that much misleading infor-
matin has been circulated
about this measure,.and added
that any interested voter may
go. to the Veterans', Service
bureau in the Jackson County
courthouse for. "certified fig
ures of how profitable the war
veterans' bonding, and loan
amendment has been to . the
State of Oregon." ,
Mr. Branchfield stated that
if Measure 13 is approved by
the voters, it will make 104
million dollars available to
the Department of Veteran
Affairs Ar veteran loans. He
said this "would relieve Ore
gon's serious .shortage of
mortgage money, and would
add materially to the econmy
of Jackson ceunty and the
entire state, at no cost to the
taxpayers."
The attorney further stated
"There has been 11 billion
dollars profit to Oregon since
1946, part of which has been
used for paying expenses of
the Veterans' department."
Mr. Branchfield also de
