Show THURSDAY, tt)ltMlt ittUl tHUMDAY, sirnMin 24, mi ' Pubttihsd tttry Taarsdoy at Pleasant Grove, UfoJi by Barton IL Adams Eighteen hour after leaving the Salt Lake Airport found our party on the "People to People" program in Brussels, Belgium, headquarters for the "Common Market" a comparative new creation crea-tion that Is proving Itself as highly high-ly beneficial to western Europe as well aa a deterrent to Communism. Commun-ism. In Brussels we visited a farm under the very shadow of the huge monument commorat-ing commorat-ing the Battle of Waterloo, went to LDS Church services, and were also banqueted by our American Embassy and briefed on Soviet Russia. Amsterdam was our next hop and from this busy airport we headed straight for Moscow. The beautiful farm and crop patterns below us changed to those of forests, lakes A streams interspersed by small patches of cultivated acreage Inside Russia. At the Moscow Airport we went through a somewhat rigid passport pass-port and luggage inspection. It was here that Leila, the young and talented wife of a Russian Engineer, along with Clarissa, the young wife of a Russian M.D. became be-came our guides and companions. These two girls are so well educated ed-ucated in our language and ways -and customs they could be dropped drop-ped down anywhere in America and no one would ever know the difference. In Moscow we went sightseeing and what city, beautiful buildi-lngs, buildi-lngs, the streets are from 200 to 450 feet wide. In Red Square we visited the underground tomb of Lenin and walked around their old "Savior" for that is Just how . they consider him. . There is a constant parade of miles and miles of people lined . up every day to get a look at this well-preserved corpse. The museum is filled with valuable relics, whose cost along with other oth-er luxuries enjoyed by the Czars and the elite, constitute a reminder remind-er to the people as to why they were slaves in abject poverty down through the centuries. The entertainment and other show places in and about Moscow would require pages to describe. . In passing, one must admit the people are , honest, hard workers, the women especially, who get the same wage as the men, but do perhaps twice as much for it It is indeed a rare occasion to see a person smoking on the streets. (Never a drunk. - Leaving Moscow our plane took us to Krasnador, a city of 370,000 just north of the Caucasian Maun- 1 tains. The people down in this region re-gion can both laugh and smile,' and are different In many respects re-spects to the people in North Russia. We were taken 50 miles out to a state farm comprising 50,000 acres, which had been re deemed from a swamp. 6,000 inhabitants have homes, nurseries, schools, parks, playgrounds, play-grounds, as well as a staffed hospital, hos-pital, a huge auditorium, etc., for their comfort and education. Rice, wheat, cattle, hogs, ducks, chickens, pastures, hay crops, . canals, streets, etc. are all a part of this giant project, which covers cov-ers approximately 80 square ' miles. Through the Caucasian Mountains Moun-tains we traveled by bus where we sojourned for two or three days on and in the Black Sea area, Russia's famous resort of 18H miles of beach. It was In : the Black Sea area we visited a 37,000 acre grape vineyard consisting con-sisting of 50 varieties. TraJiubads . of wine are fermented and shipped shipp-ed from this vast vineyard annually. an-nually. Back to Moscow by plane, ws spent another 24 hours before flying fly-ing to Budapest, Hungary, on the beautiful Danube. Here we spent two days In and out of this bullet-pocked bullet-pocked city reminescent of the not too recent uprising. - On to Warsaw, Poland, a city well-planned and rebuilt practically practic-ally from the dust as its destruc- tion was nearly 100 per cent by . Hitler's orders in World War LT. A monument in the center of the1 city is near a rubble heap that covers 150,000 Jews, massacred by German soldiers after having sent 300,000 others away to be 11--quitaded in Germany. .- 85 per -cent of the farms in Poland are privately owned and its people reflect this degree of freedom. On to East Berlin we found ourselves our-selves on the wrong side of the ; wall. It was the anniversary date and the West Germans by the thousands were lined up against the wall, screaming and yelling and throwing everything procurable procur-able at the guards and policemen on the East side of the wall. We left for Paris for two days . and from there I left the party and flew to England for a visit with relatives. In Brighton I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Eldridge. He is my brother-in-law. From here we toured Southern ' England. The crops and landscapes land-scapes here excel anything I saw in Europe. ' In addition to its beauty, living costs, measured by American dollars, dol-lars, are about 50 per cent as compared to ours. After our experiences abroad, . it was quite agreed by our group we could henceforth join m the singing of "God Bless America" with more enthusiasm than ever before.

Those who hove not experienced the early autumn season in Utah Valley have no conception of what they hove missed. Weather conditions in Pleasant Grove, for the post week, have been almost perfect. The days, due to clear skies and a bright September sun,- have been worm, but not uncomfortably so. The nights have been "jacket cool sleeping comfortable." . Maples and aspens in the canyons and on hillsides ore turning red and yellow and the sumacs ore donning their pre-winter pre-winter scarlet ottire. -' An abundant harvest of pink cheeked peoches ond ruddy apples is under way and field com ears ore filling out os the yellow leaves rustle in the cool breezes. , Yes, the "melancholy days" ore here again. A subtle stillness still-ness seems to pervade the air. Even the birds seldom sing any more, as they flock up for a few days of quiet visiting ond resting before the long and hazardous trek to their southern winter homes. ' - It's good to be alive in Pleasant Grove these autumn days. The stresses ond strains of an uneasy and troubled world seem far away. Let's enjoy it all while we can and give thanks for the comfort, peace and plenty that are ours.

These pictures give you only a bare idea of the place. The road is fine for 140 miles below the U.S. border. Then the beating -begins. Rocks and hard-baked -ruts bang, jab and jerk the trucks from stem to stern. Loose sand makes them struggle and strain. Dust chokes them. Heat roasts them. Rivers drench them.
