Touring Europe
Mr. Hoyt McAfee, formerly of
Forest City, now in the United
States Marines, stationed aboard
The U. S. S. Utah, has written his
father ihere, Mr. G. L. McAfee, Inter
estingly of his trip in Germany and
Norway, with the U. S. Scouting
fleet. During the trip the marines
visited points of interest in Germany,
where they were royally entertained.
They also visited Oslo, Norway, and
from there to Edinburgh, Scotland.
His letter from Oslo, Norway, fol
lows:
Oslo, Norway, July 14, 1930.
One more beautiful city has come
and gone and we are on our way to
Edinburgh which is our last stop be
fore returning home. Events are
transpiring rapidly, and in four more,
brief weeks we shall be in the good
old United States again.
We arrived at Oslo last Friday
morning early. For fifty miles ap
proaching the city we were greeted
by beautiful mountains on either
side of the Fjord. As we looked up
on the city lying so snugly at the
head of the bay between the moun
tains, we were reminded of our visit i
to Rio, tv/o years ago. The Royal
Palace dominated the scene on the |
loft, and a few clubs, schools and
ether ipposing places were the cen
ter of attraction on the right., On
cither side stretching away up to the
top of the mountains are miles of
roads, streets and homes, and sum
mer resorts presenting a very pic
turesque scene. A few imposing pub
lic buildings dominate the city itself j
giving impression that it was quite j
modern.
Our few liberties ashore have been
spent purchasing a few souvenirs
making short excursions into the en
virons and hilling up the mountains.
Pleasant and popular restaurants and
cafes are everywhere and in the af- j
ternoons and evenings they are
thronged with natives and tourists.
It was at such places as these that
we stopped for awhile and partook
of the spirit of the country. A great
many people engage in boating for i
tl eir pastime. Every evening the bay
is dotted with boats, launches, sail
ing yachts and excursion vessels
crowded with pleasure seekers.

attention, and The South Mountain Echoes, a monthly publication, goes
to all parts of the Union. The following is from the July issue of that
interesting little publication:
