delightful men 'ive’^’e ever encountered, Siegfried Landau, the conductor
of tao Westchester Symphony Orchestra, There were moments when the
threa of us laughed until tears ran down our faces. And eventually,
after many> many VuourSp we came dox-jn to Luxembourg wher5 we all d?ij~
pers3d and v;ent ovr way3„,, Luxembourg is a city dulled with the con
tinuous spilling ou'i of planes of Americans flying Icelandic to save
mone./., VJliat ihey save in the air they may be forced to spend in
Luxer-’bourgjf because the business people there overcharge for every-
tLlng, Including postcards. One can hardly blame them; the Americans
are mostly young people in jeans and backpacks, their long, uncombed
hair training behind them. How can Luxembourg folks be expected to
know that, for the most part, these are the good kids, the curious, the
interested, the caring, since so many look disheveled after flying the
lor»g, long hours on Icelandic? ,,, As it happened, we slipped away
shortly to Barcelona, with a short stop in Dijon to check the mustard,,,
A word or two about the trainss They are fantastic. You roll along
smoothly through village after village, with never a worry about maps
or traffic, and over the countryside with your eyes always on the view,
never on the road, A Eurail pass is a magic ticket to anywhere. Best
of all, you can wander around, stretch out, eat goodies from your bag of
wine and cheese and rolls you bought before you got on, and all the
while you’re having all this fun, you*re getting somewhere, ,,,
And Barcelona, with its singingj swinging people, its bird cages on
balconies, its wet laundries dripping from those same balconies, its
window geranium?, its palm trees, its promenade along the Ramblas, its
surrounding hills, its Picasso museum, and much more, is a good placd
to Spend three days in January sunshine, exploring, eating, feeling
alive,

A contribution fi'om Ken Haller --
Atlantic wacers wash the shifting sand,
Wnere sea-oats sway beneath a bright, warm sun,
Bogue Sound lies shining, bearing boats which glean
Rich harvest, freely yielded on demand,
Be^:ween. them is the Island, which is dine
In pine and yaupon and in holly green -
A backdrop fore the crimson loveliness
Of cardinals in brilliant, feathered dress.
This has become our Eden - our retreat
From worldly hurlyv-burly, where we greet
Our neighbors as our friends, nor yearn to roam
From this our water-oriented home.
This home where porpoise plays and sea gull soars;
This home we’ve come to know as Pine Knoll Shores,
Your editors, ,
