Show Ie Met Americans -3 Just before I saw Bob, weather forecasters warned about approaching heavy rains,. He ordered out his combines and his trucks and automation had his crop safely in elevators before weather could take a toll. I visited the Whitehare's farmhouse with its Swedish modern furniture, modern appliances, and a good library. I complained how everything is beginning to look the same in America, and then I spotted it a genuine Kansas cyclone cellar that Dorothy and Toto might have run for. in The Wizard of Ox. I felt reassured. Wo hoar that "sameness" complaint about modern America a lot nowadays, and with good reason. But if you get off the tourist trails, you find people who aren't like your next-doneighbor. I went into a remote part of .southern Idaho and came across Basque sheepherd-er- s no different in manner or dress from the ones you would meet in the Pyrenees Mountains of Spain. I stood beside the covered wagon they live in, ate delicious pan bread baked in a small iron stove, and listened to stories of how wild animals stalk the flocks" at night That night I drove back to my neon motel, no different from 10,000 others scattered along the highways. But .when I looked into the blackened grazing lands astir with wolves, sheep, and men with guns I glimpsed a piece of America " like no other. Some things in our country never change. We were touring the mining country of Montana when we met a true indi- viduaJEarl LutienhiserHe has been a J prospector for 40, years, "We had honky-tonk- s' in the old days," he told me, "and we had vaudeville. We'd . come out of the hills with gold in- our. poke, and the next mojning we wouldn't have any. We'd walk over to a businessman and say, 'How about staking me?' and we'd be in business again.". Earl showed ma his own contraption for panning gold. I got too interested, I guess, because the more questions I asked the ' more evasive he' became. rv whpn V rrnt them. "Dom' thia. nlarn bore you!"

The life and death of an American town was in the tone of his voice. Of course, there's too much America and too many different kinds of. Americans to cover in a hundred trips. I've gotan agenda for my next trip' and high on it is the Cajun country of Louisiana. These are a proud and often distant people, but from World War II I know them also to be wildly wonderful. ll (,,.....
