Wp were also still vividly remembering the rich treasurer of Paris' wonderful Louvre, the elaborate and lavish scenes at the palaces and gar dens of Versailles and the bras sy, eye-filling show at the enor mous Lido nig lit club. We left Paris on the smooth riding electric train and settled down for a relaxing ride through rural France and into Switzer land. Peaceful farms and small villages were a welcome sight to folks with our agricultural background. MMresses hung out of the second story windows to catch the morning air and sun. Door steps were being swept with rough brooms made of a bundle of switches lashed-to a handle. Our first real view of the moun tains came as we went through Lasaunne. Then on we glided to our destination Montreux, surrounded by mountains and overlooking Lake Geneva. This body of clear blue water is 50 miles long, about 4 wide and 300 feet deep in places. Our hotel overlooked the lake with an esplanade along the water and gardens in between full of blooming plants. Up the road a bit was the castle of Chillon, part of it 800 years old, all of it fascinating. Many of its rooms were furn ished. A collection of old pew ter to marvel at and furniture, fireplaces, and arms and armor of long ago were viewed with due respect. Then came a ride around the lake with a stop for luncheon at Geneva center of wickedness in Calvin's time, now famed for its impressive United Nations Center and its world headquar ters for the Red Cross. In the evening we were in troduced to a national dish cheese fondue, concocted of Swiss cheese and wines, it bub bled over a spiritlamp as the lucky diners dipped pieces of crusty bread into the bowl and out again. Traditionally, a girl or boy who drops bread from fork must pay with a kiss. In a crowd, it's said to far surpass our game of post office.

Our train glided thro ugh the spectacular Alps, clim bing higher and higher. The houses looked more and more like the rookie variety we make for Christmas centerpieces. It seemed the door would pop open and a gingerbread boy race down the path at any moment Our arrival and departure werP announced at each stop by the deep-toned chime on the engine. No clangs on this road But the whistle made a funny little "tweet" like the ones that used to come in little boys' sailor suit pockets. Around the stations were story book people 'the women and little girls all wearing aprons over their plain dresses and hea vy shoes and stockings. The children looked like Hummel fi guresjust as rosy and round and complacent. One touch of realism was the electric control panel visible in each station, its ligtit.s and gad gets and signals determining what happened on the rails. These trains ran on time. No nonsense about late trains. The ties were metal not wood, the resulting roadbed mighty smo oth. Travel posters decorated the stations outside, all neatly framed. Geraniums spilled out of every other windowsill in gay reds and pinks We saw more and more houses with mottoes painted a cross the front as we went deeper inland. The cows at the little farms were all "blondes" and many wore beautiful brass bells the size to call children in for school at home. The tones were soft and melodious. Occasional ly we saw a bullock cart, and now and then a horse and plow. A sleigh was ready for winter at one house The Watchword in Switzer land is "order." Instead of say ing "okay" or "that's fine." they say "that will be quite in order." If there is a weed in the whole country we haven't seen it. The grass on lawns and pastures is evidently trained to grow only a certain height for there is an even, deep green carpet over everything, studded with stretches of beautiful for ests with majestic peaks above Power poles stride up many hills The waterfalls and rushing stre ams take care of that. We had a view of the Jungfrau, towering over Interlaken, com pletely veiled in sparkling snow. We took a cable car and aer ial cable lift trip over a mile shakily down upon the valley be low where a toy village lay and dizzily up to peaks covered with snow and ice. These aerial cable cars are the only way many ' villagers can get home. Going ur we wi.-hed we's led a better life. Coming down we turned over new leaves so fast you could surely hear a swishing sound. All these things were good. But the best thing we found was a typical young Swiss. Our dri ver. Hans, was very distant and proper when we started. But soon we found out he wanted to be an airline pilot and then we asked him about all the for- P3 m a Cole's complete office only Qtrh icn- Typewriter and all I .

Al Smock entered the Veter ans Hospital in Omaha Monday for a check-up and will remain lor observation and treatment. The Journal received a want ad Wednesday for a lost wedding band from a very much dis tressed lady.

He was 19, already a license to take pass engers aloft. He had all plans made for his term of army ser vice and the next steps after that toward his goal. Hans considered the French silly, the Germans cruel, the Russians dangerous. He knew ouV town was named "Lincoln" after a U. S. president. He beam, ed when we recalled William Tell. He had great pride in his country, much ambition and did not dread hard work. His cour tesy, honesty, poise and good sense were typical, we believe of the 4 million Swiss who have been independent since 1291 They say "Yes, so far." The army is in evidence on every train and guarding many tunnels, bridges and roads. It numbers 800,000 and every man gives some time each year from 20 to age 60. After that he stills keeps his uniform handy. The Swiss are taking nothing for granted. Election Watch Is Long One County clerk Charles Land had the longest watch in the world Tuesday night, the weary waiting for the final voting pre cinct to come in. Land had several persons for company up till 3 or 4 a.m., then only one until 6 a.m. and fin ally had to stick it out alone. But, the last precinct, Platts mouth 2nd Ward, 1st, didn't finish counting ballots and de liver its records and supplies to the clerk's office until 12 noon Wednesday. A heavy vote in the precinct, adding to the eomplicaton all the counting boards had of wad ing through the four amend ment and special proposition ballots, caused the delay. It wasn't the latest return on rpcord here, however, by far. The clerk's office recalls that once a precinct proceesed votes until Thursday night following Tuesday's election.
