Switzer- I land has no peer! I I’m writing this on a yacht which we have hired for four hours to ride around on beauti ful, green Lake Lugano. We came into this little paradise nestled ' into the foothills of the Apis, early yesterday, after an over night stop in Milan. Milan is, I believe, the second largest city in Italy and it is very cosmopolitan. We visited the Cathedral which is second in size to St. Peter’s in Rome. It was an imposing Gothic struc ture with almost 5,000 statues in it. We looked at a few of these statues hurriedly, for we wanted to get to the Church of St. Marla delle Grazie with da Vinci’s famous ‘Last Supper’ We were hushed as we entered the chap el. There before us on the wall was the long table, with almost life-like figures sitting around it. Christ was seated In the mid dle, at either side of him were six apostles. The tilt of a head, the questioning, doubting ex pression on their faces makes you know that Clurist has Just dropped that bomb shell in their midst: “One among you stiall be tray mel” In striking contrast is the wonderful repose of Christ’s divine face. o Our guide told us that de Vinci painted the picture in tempera, which began ^ tq flake off. D’Annunzio wrote^an ode about it called “The Death of a Master piece” so many attempts were made to restore It in the eigh teenth and nineteenth centuries. Early in the twentieth century, Cavenaghi resored it so that now road over looking the lake an3 so on up the tiUl. Daisy a^ 1 are with Dolly and Mattie lA Hotel Bristol on the last road up the hill, facing Lake Lugano. The hotel is completely surrounded by a formal flower garden, so that no matter where your room is your balcony over loolcs beau ty. Our party of twenty has all lake front rooms, as that we look down on the flowers and trees and look out on the lake too. A tall magnolia tree, laden- ed with huge creamy-white blos soms is almost at eye level with our balcony but far enough away so as not to obstruct the lake view nor the people walk ing on the streets, in the village. There are little cable cars run ning up to the tops of the hills— they are called a funicular; at night when lighted, they look like little jewels crawling up the hills — Oh my, jewels don’t crawl, do they? I know Mr. Ag- grey turned over in his grave at that mixed metaphor—from his star pupil. After dinner last night, some of the girls walked down into the the village to window shop but we sat around talking about the first thing we wanted to eat when we got back to the states’ little Casma and I wanted a ham sandwich and a glass of milk, so today we had our first ham on the trip and Casma had the firat glass of real milk. Every two persons have a waiter who looks after your ev ery need; the food is delicious and th6 atmohsphere is as ritzy as you please. We had champagne at dinner last night and I hear we will have it again tonight. I’m certainly going to try out some of these dishes on you. Do you know what I like most about the people here?

We pulled into shore at an other village and went into the home of the founder of Lugano; at another village we went into the home a German painter who is famous in Switzerland and at the last place, which is a little piece of Italy jutting out into Lake Lugano there was a Casino and a famous wine cellar—the proprietor set out bread, all kinds of bread, all kinds of sau sages and cheeses and wine for our party—there was a band playing, so we went up to the pavilion to dance—our five men got a good working out. The Captain of the launch claimed that he had never been out of Switzerland but he could jitterbug out of ttiis world, and was he fun! And smart tool on the way back he pulled our yacht and another, filled with British tourists, together and spoke to the group in four different lang uages, telling each group in its native tongue the history of Lugano and the ultimate goal of the Swiss people, in general. We have really si>ent some money in this here town. Not me — I haven’t exchanged any money for francs—I did get a few centimes but just for sou- venlres. The girls are buying watches, Swiss laces and those quaint music boxes made in dif ferent shapes such as a powder box, a tiny bird, a clown that winks at you as the music plays, or a mountain climber who plays a tune when you life his alpen stock. One man bought an eight day clock! It is a beautiful, de licate looking thing; 1 wonder how he is going to get all the way to California with it. We’re coming into shore—^this has been a delightful day but we £u:e moving out after lunch to morrow. I wish we could come back here together some day.

Korean veterans are return ing home having served their en listment in the various branches of the armed services. These young men liave flown the oceans in silver planes, seen pyramids along the Nile and walked the streets of Germany and Japan. They have lived with I people of many races from many places. The ex periences gained ] from their many military adven tures have made i them alert and ambitious. They will no longer plow the soil for a dollar a day or “a ihird for you, a third for me and a third for the mule” with the mule and me getting the largest third. They will no longer accept what is called “jobs for Ne groes,” but veterans are find ing that after removing their uniform they are Just another “John” in the employment world. Some have decided to return to school, as the gov ernment will pay the bill. Good! But all veterans are not interested in school for one rea son or another. Others are go ing North. The North is crowd ed with empty handed people. It seems to me tiiat the philosophy of one of America’s great educators is the solution to the problem, “Cast down your buckets where you are.” Yours truly, with the aid of a Johnson Cotton Company representative, is now invest igating Farm Loans to veterans under the G. I. Bill. I shall pass the information on to you as I receive it. A few montlis ago I attended a dinner in New York at which a group of people from Raeford wai' present. We discussed the possibility of opening a business in our city, if we could find oth er interested persons . . . John D.

After someone goes through the trouble of get ting those rights wWch are rightfully ours, only a few of us have the nerve and guts to exercise them. It seems stupid on our part to let such things continue to happen and not fight back wtien people like this particular driver insist upon upholding white sup remacy in the sotrth. It is my desire that we as the young generation begin up holding tiiese rights to better conditions for those who will will follow us. WILLIAM H.
