Indiana 46800 PROMENADE IN EUROPE By Vesta DeCoudres (continued from last week) After leaving Innsbruck we got into the Italian Alps tailed Dolomites They were rocky and stark. Ihe guide pointed out the high peaks tailed. The Three Chimneys The many hairpin curves around the mountains made some of our group car sick We stayed at Mestre, Italy, over night Fol lowing dinner our group took the bus across the Mussolini Bridge to Venice where we had our gondola rides Ihe following dav we took the bus to Venice I hen we rode a transport boat to St. Mark's square We saw the Duke's Pal

ace. the Bridge of Sighs and several other churches. Venice is sinking at the rate of an inch every five years. The Square was very busy with many visitors and hundreds of pigeons. We were taken to the Venetian Glass Factory. We watched them make a vase and the beautiful glass articles for sale and most of us succumbed to the sales pitch w hile there. In the afternoon we traveled to Florence. Along the way we saw some rice fields and several olive groves. The next morning we were taken to a huge cathedral downtown. The Cathedral of St. Mary of the Flowers. We saw Michelangelo's magnificent statue of David in the Acadamia of Fine Arts. Then we visited a leather factory and we felt the bus would soon need a trailer with all the packages of purses, gloves, belts and other small articles purchased. It was a pleasant afternoon ride to Rome. We went to a good night club for an excellent dinner and good music by three ladies and four men. We were warned not to drink the water in Rome. After dinner Theo, our driver, and Chris, our guide, took us around town to see some of the important sights lighted. We stopped at Trevi Fountain and 1 threw my three coins in. On Saturday a local guide got our bus and took us sight seeing in Rome. We sal the old wall, the Colissium, the Pantheon, the Circus Maximus, various statues, the U. S. Embassy, the Spanish Steps and the U. S. Consulate building. Then we went to Vatican City to visit St Peter's Square and tour the Basilica — the largest church in the world. There were 99 steps in the Cistine Chapel where we saw Michelangelo's famous paintings. We were weary when the tour was over. In the afternoon we drove to Tivoli to see the beautiful gardens and fountains. We passed a large marble quarry on the way and our guide told us the marble for our White House came from this quarry. There were crowds of people out for Saturday evening in every small town W'hen we got ba».k to Rome our driver drove behind a street car in order to get along The only evidence of unrest we saw m Rome was a huge gathering of taxis and drivers on strike. Our destination on Sundav was Stresa, Italy. The tile roofs and stucco homes were typical of Italy We passed Marconis home. In the

afternoon we saw two groups of bicycle racers — almost a hundred in each group. We enjoyed the resort areas around Lake Maggiore. The lake is 40 miles long and at it's widest part is three miles wide. Stresa is on that lake. We left Stresa very early and soon began to climb the Alps again with sharp hairpin curves. We went through lots of tunnels and shed-like places built to protect from avalanches. We used the Simplon Pass which is 67()0 feet. It was quite cold when we got out for the morning break. We exchanged money at the border again. The beautiful roses and flowers along the way were a joy to see. We saw many vineyards of grapes terraced on the mountains. Lunch came at a little town by Lake Geneva. In the afternoon we toured Chillon Castle made famous by Lord Byron’s poem. The old building and furnishings were interesting. By evening we came to the pretty city of Geneva. Switzerland. On the city tour we saw The Floral Cock, the United Nations Building, the Worl Health Organization Building. the Statue for Leaders of the Protestant Reformation, boats on the lake, and beautiful flowers everywhere. We had a free afternoon to shop or rest. Our next destination was Paris. We crossed the Jura Mountains with many more curves and tunnels. For our afternoon break we stopped at Fountainblcu which is a hunting lodge used by the kings and noblemen. The building and the grounds were beautiful. Paris was such a big city and the traffic was the worst. The policemen with their dark uniforms, white helmets and gloves were an attraction. The next day we had a tour of the city by bus and saw many famous landmarks such as the Arch of Triumph. Notre Dame. Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the American Embassy. Houses of Parliament, Seine River, Military Defense Building where there was a dress parade going on. We had lunch in an outdoor case. Again the afternoon was free. Many of us spent the time saying farewell to our new found friends because we were to fly out of Paris from the new Charles DeGaulle Airport the follow ing day. Dr. and Mrs. Naval and 1. Vesta DeCoudres. flew to Zurich. Switzerland, where Dr. Naval attended medical meetings for a week. We had three bus trips where on one we saw four countries. Switzerland. Germany. Austria and Principality of Liechtenstein. A baron from the Principality told us they had not had an army for a hundred years. Their election frenzy lasts only 24 hours and he felt we could profit by following that example. They had had the annual Cow Festival the day before —a celebration when the cows are brought down from the mountain pastures for the winter. We had a guided tour of Zurich and a half day quided tour to Lucerne. The mountain scenery around Lucerne was perfectly beautiful. The whole trip was something I'll never forget. Vesta DeCoudres Culver Nips Shamrocks In 14-7 Battle The Culver Cavaliers, the newest member of the Northern State Conference but not yet eligible this year for football as scheduled games against each team aren't booked this season, proved that they will be a competitive team when they get into league play. Saturday they put a damper on the North Liberty homecoming as they scored twice in the second half after the Shamrocks had taken a 7-0 lead, to win 14-7 for their fourth win of the season in four contests. The loss was the fifth in eight starts

Then things started to happed in the third period. Steve Smith, the Culver hero for the day. made one of his few errors, fumbling the ball at the 18 yard line on an attempted punt reception. It was covered by Rick Stewart and gave the Shamrocks great field position which they quickly took advantage of. Rick naragon finished the short drive with a six yard touchdown run and when Hide Kunieda kicked the extra point, the Shamrocks had that first all-important score on the board and a 7-0 lead. This was very short-lived however. as it took the visitors from Marshall County just one play after the kickoff to get the touchdown back. Smith took the handoff and found some daylight and set out for the goal line some 70 yards away, outrunning his competition for a spectacular score. He not only pulled the Cavaliers within one point, he personally put them in front as he then carried the extra point attempt into the end zone again for the two points that make it quickly 8-7, Culver's favor. The two teams again knocked heads without one taking advantage of any situations. Late in the game, still only one behind, the Shamrocks got moving and were threatening to do something about the situation as they were getting desperate. However, being forced to throw when everyone knew it, Smith again was Culver's man of the hour, intercepting an Alan Seiner aerial to not only put the damper on any chances the Shamrocks had of sustaining a drive for a score, but he then score three plays later on a short run to finalize the score at 14 6 as the extra point try was no good.
