Egglis Describe Beauty of South America May Tremonlon, Utah THE LEADER. 19S3 1, 1953 Dear Mr. Rytting: We would like to tell our friends in the Tremonton-Both-wearea something about the beauties and wonders of the northern and eastern part of Portugal. Its nickname, "Garden by the sea" is very appropriate. About a half day's journey east of Lisbon is a town called Evora, which has a Roman temple to the Goddess Diana, dating from the 4th Century, with some of its pillars and foundation still intact. By the side of it stands a great Catholic Church with very expensive architecture, designs, and figures on the inside, quite in contrast with the simplicity of the ancient pagen temple ruins. A few blocks from there is another great church, with a chapel on the side, which was completely constructed of human bones. We made a rough count of about 5,000 skulls used for design and decoration, and of course, the other bones were used for walls and pillars. Above the entrance we read the inscription: "Our bones here are waiting for yours." As you may know, Portugal has some level land, a lot of rolling hills, and some mountains. Some of these mountains are so steep that they built steps up them to make climbing easy. Every 20 or 30 feet up these mountains we could see a five or ten foot terraced stone wall with grape vines and olive trees, and wheat growing on these little strips. Here, there is no good soil wasted. In this land of grapes and famous wines, we saw some grape vines only about a foot high, and others that grow up a tree for twenty feet, and then out across a wire for about 30 or 40 feet more. Wheat is grown below the grape vines, as it matures before the grapes put out their full leaves, and thus the wise farmer makes a double use of his land. We visited the little town of Guimaraes, in the north of Portugal, the birthplace of this nation. What a sight to behold a castle over 900 years old, with every rock in its great wall still in its original place. In Coimbra, ll we saw the beautiful church where lies the tomb of the founder of Portugal. Such great historical monuments fill one with awe, as our own great country cannot boast of such antiquity. In Braga, one beautiful church located on top of a steep mountain, was easiest reached by riding an elevator, but afterwards we walked down the hundreds of steps and pathway. On our way down, we met a woman with two candles in her hands, and crawling on her knees up the steps through the puddles of rain water to get to the church. No, she wasn't a cripple, but was performing this act in fulfillment of a promise to some saint, to gain favor, or to receive the healing she sought for some relative or friend. Though we have both passed our language exams, and third and fourth grade Portuguese exams, we do not speak and understand the language like a native, but we have made great friends with the people. About every three weeks we show colored photo slides of Mexico, America, and Portugal to a group of our neighbors who call it a cinema, which it really is to them, as they dont' have any shows around here in the winter time. Our neighbors have been gladly accepting gospels of Luke and John, New Testaments, and Bibles, and strangely enough, they are reading them. In fact, one lady read 244 chapters from the Bible, and she was convinced that Christ died for her sins, and now she exalts Him as Lord and Savior of her life. We have also been able to start a Sunday morning Bible class, and Mrs. Eggli has been writing and telling stories for the children. We have really been enjoying our study and work with these people. We are waiting for our entry permit to Angola, West Africa, which will be our permanent place of labor. We have certainly been enjoying the LEADER, Mr. Rytting, as it has come to us so faithfully since we left home a year ago. Thank you very much for this link with the home folks.

John V. Lawrence, managing director of the American Trucking Associations, Washington, D. C, told the annual convention of the Western Highway Institute that the Research Board's release of April 14 "makes it clear that sections of the Idaho pavement have been deliberateso that they ly will fail under the loads applied." Another section includes average design and still another, under-designe- d over-desig- n. "I hope this fact is driven home in every discussion of the Western test so that the public will not be amazed when the expected happens," he stated. "On the other hand, the manner in which this pavement stands up under loads such pavement is ordinarily never expected to carry, may indeed provide amazement. In other words, no one should be surprised when deliberately insufficient pavement yields to loads which engineers agree such pavement thickness cannot carry, and the only chance of a technical surprise will come if the pavement fails to crack and break up." under-designe- d EVERYWHERE ENJOY CALIFORNIA TRIP Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Dustman, their son L.
