2B —THE CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, DEC. 9, 1987 f[T§2j§£j THE TRAVEL LOG £ J By l»n H. Corbln "I'LL NEVER LEAVE PAR B mSUI |H . I ■J# Eg The view from the window was of the gentle curve of end less beach, white sand, bend ing palm trees, and the shallow surf now blue, now aqua marine. Local craftsmen were collecting along the shore sell ing their very good primitive paintings and sculptures at ridiculously low prices. The view during the flight the after noon before was a landscape dotted with rice paddies look ing like roofs of iridescent greenhouses. This was Bali, and a glorious morning had dawned very much like most mornings on this island para dise ...beautiful and serene. We went down to breakfast. Down meant taking a modern elevator from the eighth floor of Inter-Continental's brand new Hotel Bali Beach to the coffee shop. Here in an atmosphere filled with Balinese artifacts and a menu featuring fresh fruits of the island along with WOOLWORTH'S I fXggQQBB VOV* MONET'S WORTH MOH »T WOOLWORTH'S tygSt Bis | BL Js^lLc MHf ■ [ i "'t /: -i^^^^Wn|P^| fl Make U a musical holiday • • • CHRISTMAS BECOBDS 97,3.97 YQU name it, and we've got id Beit selling artists include Elvis Presley, Blng Crosby.

Charming, shy, smiling, and learning their new trade with the grace of great ladies, they made breakfast an occa sion. Wanting to talk and to learn more, a halting, stumbling con versation was begun. "Is it al ways like this in Bali?" we asked looking out of the win dow. "Yes, Sir." Everything is lush and green. Everywhere the eye looks, there is attrac tiveness. Even poor homes seem coxy. "Bali is beautiful." And then, the inevitable ques tion. "Do you like Americans, will you be happy to see many of us here?" 'Yes, Americans are friendly." Still pursuing the conversation. "Supposing some young American were to come along and you fell in love ADISE" and he asked to marry you, would you consider it?" "Yes." came the soft reply. Then to break what might have become too personal a discussion. "And do you think you would like living in America?" "Oh. I'd never leave Paradise," came the quick answer. And that about sums up Par adise as it is known and experi enced by those who live in that beautiful land. Never leave Paradise. How long will it remain so? The drive from the airport at Denpasar to the hotel is one of th? prettiest in the world and the local inhabitants often wave at passing visitors. With a new hotel, and work well ad vanced on the new jet airport, it won't be long before a great wave of tourists will invade the island. It is inevitable. Yet, how much will change on this most verdant island of the Indone sian archipelago? Here for thousands of years the people have lived their lives, experi encing changes of fortune from freedom to being conquered, through the great period of temple building to the recent squashing of the communists. Here, almost every day is a feast or holiday of some sort and flowers and fruit decorate the people, their homes, their temples, their streets. Now back home one recalls many things; the balmy Bali evenings with dancing and the singing of strange songs in the background, the sound of slip pered feet in the hotel corridors, the pretty smiles, the lack of haste, and the girl who said, "I'll never leave Paradise." All an outsider can say is that now is the time to visit Paradise Bali, the Isle of the Gods. -Servicemen . Continued from page IB Beta Sigma.

LB J Raps War Critics On Busing WASHINGTON -Pres ident Johnson charged Monday that opponents of his Vietnam policies were seeking "the Are escape" oat of international responsibility much as they did in the days of Mussolini and Hitler. In a speech at the State Department, be said the United States was at war not Just to save South Vietnam from aggression but to provide a "protective shield" for all of free Asia and to keep the United States secure. "A lot of people don't think so," he said. "A lot of people are looking for the fire escape and the easy way out They were doing that in Mussolini's time and they were doing that in Hitler's time. "They did not think it was important to their security until it was almost too late. We waited a long time here but, better late than never."
