-HAWAII- ft) upon the Oseberg ship was laid to rest, surrounded by her household goods, over a thousand years ago. The ships are bold as eagles, graceful as swans, with their prows proudly lifted to cleave the waves. As for the fourth sight in Bygdoy, the Folk museum is one of many such in Scandinavia. It consists of some 150 picturesque wooden dwellings, farms and other buildings, gathered from all parts of the country and representing every! age from the 13th century to the 19th. Many of them are furnished and include more than 100,000 exhibits, thus form-j ing a complete record ot tne architecture, arts, and crafts of the Norwegian people.

The value of such a collection is priceless. How else, in this era of change and ruthless destruction, are the children of tomorrow to see how their ancestors lived? We are deeply impressed by the stave church, the first we have seen, dating from 1200, with its oddly Chinese pagoda like roof. Surely it would take more than one visit to inspect all these treasures and appreciate them. One of the pleasantest ways of passing an evening in Oslo is to join the folklore trip that takes you to the Folk museum by bus for a native feast, followed by dancing by a group in costume. Tip: B3 sure to buy your ticket' direct from the bureau that runs the enterprise, instead of trusting as we did to our hotel porter, whose negligence nearly cost us a delightful entertainment.

Our group was piloted by a most intelligent fellow, who was able to explain the functions of, and to play on, various primitive instruments once commonly used in rural districts. The supper was primitive, too sliced smoked mutton and reindeer meat, some kind of porridge eaten with butter and sugar, flat bread both soft and hard, the whole washed down by good local beer. This somehow sounds odder than it tasted. The dancing, which tourists may take part in if they wish, is the usual bobbing, stamping, and whirling practiced, as far as we can see, by peasants all the way from Scandinavia to Greece. The longer we stay in this country the better we find ourselves liking the people who live in it.

-NEVADA- 13 DAY EXCURSION Kon-Tk Raft on Display By Arthur Meeker OSLO, Norway It is rather surprising to learn that four of Oslo principal sights are not to' be found in the city at all, but across the harbor on the peninsula of y. What is less so is that three of them have to do with boats, enough for a fine seafaring racet Bygdoy is a sight: a green tract of meadow and woodland, partly public park, partly one of those attractive residential suburbs that seem to be a specialty here. Nowhere in Europe have we seen more charming villas. Most of them are of wood, which makes them home like to American eyes: what gives them their particular stamp is the wonderful color sense of the Norwegians, who go in for soft, bright reds, blues, greens, or buffs, tastefully trimmed with white or some contrasting hue. This gives an indescribably cheerful effect could you feel gloomy in such houses? Facing each other near the dock stand KonTiki Museet and Framhuset, small museums built to contain the famous raft in which Thor Heyerdahl crossed the PacL'ic, and the good ship'Fram, used in several expeditions by the Arctic explorers, Fritjof Nansen and Hoald Amundsen, the latter of whom discovered the South pole.

Here are bits of recent history we all are familiar with, piously kept for future generations in honor of some of Norway's gallant sons. The third museum harks back to a time immeasurably more ancient. Enter this simple white building with respect, for it holds some of the most precious relics in existence, the celebrated Viking ships. Two of these were discovered in the last century, the third as late as 1904. They owe their survival to the fact that they were used as tombs for their owners, and were buried in clay of a type that preserved them from undue decay.

They are perhaps the oldest wooden things we have.

But I am happy with my rediscovery of the rail-way. I rediscovered this travel pleasure when I traveled from Chicago to San Francisco on the California Zephyr a true luxury train (both first class and coach) which operates via Denver and Salt Lake City, over the Burlington, Rio Grande, and Western Pacific railroads. Both westbound and east-bound, its schedule gives daytime travel through the prize scenic areas. This is a cruise on land travel that helps me make the wisest use of time for work, pleasure, or both. Writing is my job.

But it doesn't feel like work aboard the California Zephyr, because every time I glance out the window I am stimulated by the longest parade of beauty along any railroad, here or abroad. And the five roof-top Vista-Domes give every passenger a front-row view! Even today, no highways penetrate to much of the most sensational scenery in Colorado and California. Only the rail-builders have blazed their trails here. Busy cameras must make the Zephyr seem like a year-round Santa to film manufacturers, for both eastbound and westbound this train displays scenery which keeps still cameras clicking and movie cameras whirring. Westbound, you start along the Burlingtoo; through serene Illinois farms and villages that seem 8 world away from Chicago's turmoil.

As night falls, you cross the Mississippi and, when dawn comes, the Rockies rise along the western horizon. Breakfast time finds you in Denver, about to begin the Rio Grande Railroad's spectacular climb up the Rockies. Suddenly you're in a mountain wonderland. All day long, the train winds through Byers, Gore, Glenwood and other Colorado canyons. Only when you gaze up at the peaks from way down here can you truly grasp their grandeur.

A blaze of glory winds up your day, on the Colorado-Utah border, in Ruby Canyon aptly named for its crimson cliffs and pinnacles. The whole canyon is bathed in a rosy light; even the gray-green sagebrush turns pink in the afterglow as the sun sets behind the red rocks. Next morning the Western Pari fie Railroad shows you the pine-cloaked beauties of California's Feathe? River Canyon for hour after hour. Through this 118-mile canyon, the river tumbles fiercely around rocky islands and over many-colored boulders and foam flies in white plumes, reminiscent of the wild pigeon feathers that gave the river its name. Finally you roll out on California's Central Valley.

Here fruit trees blossom while there's still enow back home. You gaze out at rice fields and vegetable farms from Marysville to Sacramento to Stockton, and roll into Oakland by mid-afternoon. The white towers of San Francisco, shining on their hills, welcome you across the great Bay Bridge. This is the way to um time on a land-cruise for rest or for undisturbed work and always for joy in communion with 2,500 miles of your country at its splendid best.
