f PORTS OF CALL
OR TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE
By Edward H. Sims
Paris -Paris and the French
gained a nostalgia in American
eyes during World War I, when
American doughboys came to
know the country. But the post
war Paris degenerated steadily
until by the outbreak of World
War II in 1939 the country was
divided, degenerate and pitifully
inept militarily.
By that time Paris had be
come the center not primarily
for intellectuals and non-conformists
but the perverted and
debased, the corrupt, dishonest
and immoral, just as Ne York
has become such a center in
the United States. Paris has
come back some of the way
DeGaulle had much to do with
it, though he was an old style
nationalist with dreams of gran
deur not in tune with modern
times.
But Paris isn't France-which
so many Americans assume,
just as New York isn't America,
by any means, but a melting pot
of European immigrants, ghetto
unfortunates, Puerto Ricans,
half as many Jews as live in
Israel and a half million Chin
ese. All great cities act as a
collecting point to some extent
but Paris over the years has
been a special refuge, as has
New York.
But as they became crowded
and then overcrowded both
cities lost their manners and
some of their characterNew
York moreso than Paris, by the
way. Paris is probably more
civil today than ten years ago,
and one can still find wonderful
food and lodging and entertain
ment. But too often prices are
astronomical.
As for hotels, there are many
good ones in the city but few
really great ones. I recall two
A beautiful suntan can be
very becoming. However, dont
get carried away. Sunshine, in
moderation, is healthful and
beneficial to your Skin. In over
doses, it is quite a different
matter.
All kinds of complications
can come from over-exposure.
The least serious is a painful
aunbum. In extreme cases, sun-'
poisoning and scarred tissue is
the result.
Prolonged exposure over a
period of years results in a
thickening of the outside layer
of skin. This makes a coarse-
looking complexion. It will
cause skin to age much faster
than necessary. For the ladies,
It is most important.

years ago talking to Hans El
minger; the director of his fami
ly's great hotel at Lucern, the
Grand National. For many years
he managed the Rltz in Paris,
was .managing there when the
Germans crushed France and
occupied Paris.
HerrElmiger saved the hotel's
precious1 wine cellars by stand
ing up to those who wanted to
plunder it and, if memory serves
correctly, Herman Goerlng back
ed him up in one showdown.
Elmiger now manages the
Grand National as he did the
Rltz and his wife still chooses
the decor and furniture for the
hotel's many special suites,
where royalty and dignitaries
of all kinds have stayed In re
cent years. For my money, I
prefer the Grand National to any
hotel in Paris.
The food in Paris is famous,
of course, but at the Grand Na
tional it is equally good and
served in a less hurried atmo
sphere. That, of course. Is in
evitable, Paris being one of
the world's largest cities.
The nostalgia for Paris ling
ers on, perpetuated by show
biz types and song writers, who
love the city's permissiveness,
where anything goes to an ex
tent. It is also popular among
Latins, who naturally find a
religious tie to the Notre Dame
Cathedral and the country's
past which Includes such aw

the Latin countries, generally
inferior in somany ways, France
stands at the top of the list.
HEALTH
AND
BEAUTY
American women spend mil
lions each year on creams to
help keep themselves as young-
looking as possible. Yet, each
summer many of these same
women expose their skin and
hair to the strong sunlight far
more than is good for them.
The early fall finds many
women frantically using creams
and lotions on their hair and.
skin in' an' effort to eradicate
the destructive effects of the
sun. Bleaching creams are in
wide use to help rid their skin
of freckles and the unattractive
color of their fading suntan.
All this expense and trouble
seems foolish. It would be far
wiser to limit the amount of sun
one gets in the first place.

Board Sets Hearing
On Water Standards
The North Carolina Board of
Water and Air Resources has
authorized a public hearing on
proposed amendments to
upgrade the quality standards
for North Carolina's surface
waters.
The hearing, to be conducted
by the Board's Pollution Control
Committee, will be held on
Friday. June 26. in the
auditorium of the Shore
Memorial Health Building
(Laboratory of Hygiene) in
Raleigh. The time will be 10 a.m.
The proposed changes are
designed to meet objections of
the U.S. Secretary of the Interior
to the North Carolina standards
now in effect. These were
adopted by the Board in 1968 and
submitted to the Secretary under
provisions of the Water Quality
Act of 1965.
The proposed amendments
include a nondeg'radation policy
to protect waters whose quality
exceeds the established stan
dards at the time these become
effective; higher requirements
of dissolved oxygen; lower
permissible temperature
maximums with smaller ranges
of induced temperature
changes; a lower limit on
phenols, which cause taste and
odor problems; and bac
teriological standards for
waters used for secondary
recreation purposes.
The proposed requirements
were developed in close con
sultation with officials of the
Federal Water Quality Ad
ministration (formerly the
Federal Water Pollution Control
Administration) and others of
the Department of the Interior..
Copies of the standards and the
proposed amendments may be
obtained on request to the
Department of Water and Air
Resources, Box 27048, Raleigh,
27611.

North Carolina Peanut
Growers Are Cautioned
It is evident, according to Joe
S. Sugg, Executive Secretary of
the North Carolina Peanut
Growers Association, that some
peanut growers are becoming
somewhat complacent with
respect to the need for closely
adhering to the recommended
practices in the production of
peanuts as a result of glowing
reports appearing in the press,
around service stations, and
other communication points
concerning the condition of the
crop.
It is true, he stated, that we
have in North Carolina a peanut
crop which has better stands
than experienced in the last two
or three years and that the crop
has progressed to this point at a
more rapid growth than an
ticipated by some people. Sugg
accounts for the good ap
pearance of the crop with the
fact that the seed used this year
were superior to those of the past
few years and the fact that most
North Carolina peanuts were
planted in the middle portion of
May when the soils were warmer
and growth stimulated.
Mr. Sugg pointed out that there
is a greater need today for an

the year it will be done - but we
