Twelve women made this trip by plane none of whom had ever travelled in the air before. It took 14 flying hours from New York to Paris with a slight de lay of two hours enroute. mak ing a total of 16 hours alto gether. The first stop of any length was Paris, where the ladies were impressed with the vest pocket size of the automobiles. The rea son for this they were told was the fact that ''petrol" is so ra tioned. The word petrol takes the place of our word gasoline and while on their trip the word gasoline was never heard.

The serving of food in restaurants and elsewhere is a art and pro fession in Paris. All meals are served beautifully no matter how meager the fare. From Paris the group went to Versailles.

Here they visited Westminster Abbey, No. 10 Downing Street, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Eig Ben, with its minute hand measuring 14-ft. in length and the chimes weighing eight tons. England as the tfrne the visitors saw it was still terribly rationed as to food and cloth ing, although some restrictions are now lifted.

They know there are only two powers left The United Slates or Russia and they do not know for sure which sicie to "bet on." In France and Italy the inhabitants welcomed the Americans lor the most part and expressed gratitude for ! what they had done to "help brine liberation to our country." However in Germany many of those contacted left the impres sion of mixed feelings as they viewed the bombed homes and buildings, as if to say "remem ber yu; 'America' did this to us." The speaker remarked that evidently they had forgotten ; who s.rted the war.

Mr. and Mrs. Clin ton Nearhood and Mr. and Mrs. Dale Nearhood were here from Lincoln and were accompanied by Evelyn Glebe, a sister of Mrs. Nearhood. i Here they saw the women wash- ing clothes on the rocks at tlie edge of the sea.

The j housing situation is so bad in i most of this ovcr-popuiated country that there are no yards as we think of yards. Much signs of poverty is seen due to the fact of the large number of people and not enough raw materials with winch to maintain a hiiji standard of living.

The trip to Genoa was much enjoyed as was the tour of Rome with its beautiful an cient buildings and 400 palaces. Among the places visited were St. Peter's cathedral, tht coli seum and schools.
