October 22, 1944. DECATUR SUNDAY HERALD AND REVIEW CLASSIFIED ADS 25 The Yanks in Europe- in France This is the first of a series of articles under the general title YANKS IN EUROPE. The stories have been prepared by the National Geographic Society for the Herald and Review to inform readers about the countries to which American service men and women may be sent. An article will appear tach Sunday. By 1 The National Geographic Society Tanks in France are witthe rebirth of a nation before has risen from stagblows to recover her proud in the world.

land to the south and a northern European economy to the north. But two easy travel routes circle the plateau providing gigantic highways for international trade between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. They follow (1) the Rhone Valley from Marseille north to the Paris Basin and (2) the Gar- onne Valley northwest to Bordeaux and the Aquitaine Basin. Mountain passes, or saddles, are so low that canals. as well as railroads and splendid motor roads, follow them.

Riviera Is Vacation Land The Mediterranean region, which runs inland to the first mountains and up the Rhone Valley almost to Lyon, is a distinct sub-tropical province. East of Toulon, where the second Allied beachhead in France was established, lies the rocky Riviera, basking in the sun. In peacetime it attracted people from all over the world to its beaches, villas. and casinos. For general agriculture the south of France has too much sun and too little rain.

Summer drought means irrigation, in which France leads Europe. This area grows a great proportion of the grape crop, making France the world's greatest wine producer, enough to provide a barrel a year for every Frenchman. The Rhone Delta, the Camargue, France's miniature Texas, IF YOU THINK POTATOES ARE FATTENING! Once and for all, let's knock into a cocked hat the notion that white potatoes are fattening- -a fallacy in the first place, agitated by fact -careless food faddists, without the slightest scientific or medical foundation. It may have started from the observation that potatoes are listed among the starchy foods. Actually not more than one fifth of the potato is starch, the greater part is water.

Or what is more likely, because potatoes are frequently prepared and eaten with other foods that are fattening- -with a generous pat of butter, rich gravy or fried in fat. The fattening quality of a specific food determined by the calories that it provides. (The normal adult requires about 3000 each day.) A medium sized potato contains approximately 100-in other words about of an adult's daily caloric needs. Why an apple, or an orange, flat, grassy expanse largely devoted to cattle raising. Farther up the valley grow the mulberry groves of a once-important industry raw silk production.

French cocoon growers once supplied silk for the mills of Though now importing most of its raw silk, Lyon has remained Europe's silk center. Paris Basin Self-Sufficient The Aquitaine Basin around Bordeaux and the Garonne River, is the southwesternmost extremity of the great northern European Plain that stretches to Russia. In climate and economy it is halfway between the Mediterranean region and the Paris Basin; like the former it is warm and grows grapes, like the latter its main crop is wheat and it has plenty of rain. Life is easy in the Aquitaine. Toulouse, at the edge of the basin, was prewar France's fastest growing city, with industries run by water power from the Pyrenees Mountains.

The Paris Basin is the northcentral fourth of France. In some respects it is France. Paris owes its location and importance to the geologic layout of the Basin, to its fertility and climate, and to accessible routes provided by the Seine and Loire Rivers. The Basin is breadbasket, dairy albarn. and butcher shop.

It is one or a baking powder biscuit contains as many. No, don't deny yourself nutritious potatoes, even if your waistline is worrying you -the more you need their nourishment to help satisfy your hunger during the weight reducing regime. "Cut down your total food intake and restrict your use of the highly concentrated sources of calories that you may be using with potatoes. Today potatoes are included in most slimming diets. Yes, you can eat potatoes even if you are watching your weight.

But instead of frying them, boil or bake them in their jackets. Then you'll retain their maximum nutrition. This Spring potatoes are plentiful. Use them in place of rationed and more expensive foods. You'll save both "points" and pennies.

Undeveloped Mineral Riches At the edges of the Basin, along the Belgian border and in disputed Lorraine, lie France's comparatively undeveloped mineral riches. France ranks first in Eurlope in iron ore reserves, but her lack of an abundant coking coal has made her heavy metallurgical industries a poor fourth in Europe. She leans more to fine craftsmanship in small plants than to mass output. West of the Paris Basin lies the area generally referred to as "the west." It includes the western half of Normandy (the "bocage country" where the most terrible ing of the French campaign took place) all of Brittany, and the Vendee. south of Nantes.

There, Yanks have noticed the traditionalism often pictured as the dominant characteristic of French farmers. Parisians joke about Norman and Breton provincials, but are glad to have the west's rich butters and cheeses on their tables. The French frontier is nearly all natural. The English Channel, the Atlantic Ocean. the Pyrenees Mountains, the Mediterranean Sea, the Alps, the Jura Mountains, the Rhine River, and Ardennes uplift leave very little geographically unprotected border.

The Alps and the Pyrenees for centuries cut off land communication between France and her Latin sisters Italy and Spain. The low land on either side of the Ardennes, however, allowed passage to aggressor Germany across Belgium and through the Saar. In area, France equals Texas without the Panhandle. Her prewar population (42,000,000) a nearly seven times that of the Lone Star State, but less than England's or Italy's and far below that of Germany. More than half of all Frenchmen were farmers or fishermen living in small villages.
