2-11 Dorado (Ark.) II Dorado Times Friday, July 23, 1965 Touring Europe By BETTY HUSSMAN LE HAVRE (Via Air Mail) Here in the Reddition Room of an old school of Rheims was a dquarters, and there the Armistice of 1945 was signed It was too bad we have more time to spend here, but the ship is due to sail on Friday, and there was Rouen on the way to Le Havre, the old capital of Normandy. The houses in this section of France are entirely different, all Norman achitectue with.steep oofs and the second story one of stucco decorated with strips of wood. As we wound through the curving streets of these old villages I though of all the stoies these houses could tell And as we passed the hedgerows, I thought of the Germans who had hidden there, and of the A F. men whose planes were shot down over this section. They hid in these very woods, grateful for their denseness And of the refugees who passed this way, walking toward the sea leaving all they knew and loved behind them, desperately trying to escape with their most precious possessions, their loved ones and their lives.

We drove past fields of red, red poppies and passed a monument to four divisions of American soldiers who fought here At Soissons we saw the big Cathedral of St Gervais. The walls had many bullet marks and looked like a fortress with its thick stone walls Here, too, we stopped to see the Abbey of St Jean des Bigres which was a ruin with only one high tower left, but they must be rebuilding it as we saw large stones lying on the ground each one numbered There was a large French military camp just across the street which probably accounts for the destruction of the Abbey On through the countryside, passing French war cemetaries, with their identical row upon row of white crosses Each grave had roses planted on it Then we passed German war cemeteries, and everywhere the poppies bloomed, blood red We wanted to take some pictures here but there were no parking places, and by late afternoon we had left the poppv fields A little after noon, we drove into Rouen and saw again the dominating the landscape The Butter Tower as it is called rises 525 feet and is silhouetted against the blue sky It has an appearance of lacework As we walked through the Cathedral, one side aisle displayed photographs of the church as it looked after air raids had damaged it But now it is all restored The windows are not as beautiful as the Cathedral in Rheims as there are no rose windows. After we left the Cathedral we saw a young boy and girl on the street and asked them how to locate the Place du Vieux- Marche (old market).

Big pink and blue hydrangeas were banked about the figure. And about six feet front of the statue, just off to the left was a gold mosaic square flat market set in the Davement, marking the place was martyred Under these blue skies and Aith a bright sun overhead, it hard to realize a young jirl had died such a horrible ieath on this very spot.

The road wound and dipped down toward Le Harve and we could see all the cranes ining the harbour It is windy ind misty.

We understand the ide is in, which makes the wind high. Since the France is sail- ng tomorrow, the town is full people. The shops offer var- ed merchandise as in any port city, but no time for shopping, now This Le Marly Hotel is another of the ones that serves only breakfast So we walked through the drizzle across the open square, where there are a lot of carnival rides, to the du Normandie Hotel which had a splendid dining room They also had European editions of the New York newspaper We overheard the head waiter explaining the menu to a couple at the next table One of the items he mentioned was snails The man replied never had snails, would you bring me just one with my ner9 I like to try it I wondered how- he came out with his one snail, as we left before he was served Our bell girl, as I suppose you call these FYench girls, since that is what they do, is very pretty, a tall blonde But I get used to the women doing such jobs But at that it's better than working in the fields I walked down the street this morning looking for Rene Uroste, the name of the beauty parlor where 1 had an appointment I just couldn't get on board with my hair straggling The beauty shops and perfume stores are one and the same over here Upstairs there was a large room and a small room for the shampoos After slip ping my arms into a big white coverall. 1 had my hair washed And realized how tired and stiff my neck was from our long ride The girl and exchanged gestures as to how 1 wanted my hair set Then 1 pointed to the largest rollers Soon I was seated under a very hot drier These driers had small fans attached to the front of hood As none of them were running 1 couldn't find out what purpose they served The windows had the same little exhaust fans built into the window wed seen in Holland there is not much air tioning over here, this all thf ventilation the. girl pulled up her pane, Since must have stool and gave me a fine manicure, holding my hand up in the air without benefit of pillow or prop However the Christian Dior polish last long It had started to chip before 1 got back to our hotel When the operator started to spray my hair, she pulled a tall bottle of spray net from un- FORD PHARMACY SPECIALS FOR FRIDAY SATURDAY ANACIN TABS Regular PREPERATION-H 5119 OINTMENT Reblar 35c MERTHI01ATE Regular PRO 69c TOOTHBRUSH Regular MISS CLAIROL HAIR Regular SUDDEN BEAUTY Si .00 SPRAY DEODORANT Regular RUBBING 59c ALCOHOL 15 75 15 39 89 69 39 der the counter and place a little bottle on top of it and press down.

The president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference was expected to arrive tonight for a briefing on his role in what he has billed as the major effort in a Northern city.

Dr King was invited to Chicago by the Coordinating Council of Community Organizations, an alliance of groups now concentrating on a drive for racial integration of the public schools. The program coordinator. Dr Alvin Pitcher, a professor at the University of Chicago Divinity School, said the purpose is to enlist people and raise money for the antisegregation forces Their chief demand is the ouster of School Supt Benjamin Willis.
