Jura born boys who went on to make a name for themselves include Rouget de Lisle who wrote the music for la Marseillaise and died a pauper the writer Stendhal and Louis Pasteur who got his Start toward becoming the father of bacteriology by studying the Fermen tation of Arbois wines. The Juras Siens think highly of Pasteur but Don t carry their admiration to the Point of Pasteurin ing All their milk the Many Mountain Rivers of the Jura have a character of their own marked by a certain whimsical Ity in some cases. One of the prettiest of them the Doubs seem in no hurry All to quit the Region although by straight line it s Only 45 Miles from its source to where it flows into the Saone. It ambles 310 Miles to get there. Then there s the loue River which simply Springs full flowing out of a Crevice of a Rock and up until 1901 no one knew whence. In that year a chemist idling by the source noticed that the water had turned a Milky Green. Curious he tasted it and found the River was dispensing his favorite aperitif. It was then he recalled that a few Days before the Pernod Dis Tillery at Pont arlier some score of Miles away had burned , thousands of Gallons of the Anise based liquor had spilled into the Doubs. Putting two and two together he reasoned that there must be a. Hole in the bed of the Bubs which carried some of its water Miles under ground to emerge As the loue. This was subsequently confirmed by scientific tests. The lakes and streams of the Jura Are Rich in fish and the hoteliers hereabouts Are masters at preparing them for the table As we have had pleasure in finding out. The Region also produces a we re cheese the variety that americans usually pop hypocrisy the Fox preaching to the chickens. A St. Claude Wood carving. Misabel Swiss that they Call comte that has a distinctive flavor appreciated throughout France and the Jura wines mostly roses from the Arbois area Are noted for their Quality although not much of it is. Sent out of the Region. For americans stationed in France or Germany getting to this area presents no problems. From Germany just drive to Strasbourg and then follow the wide National no. 83 South to Besancon where the Jura begins. From More Western parts of France head for Dijon and from the retake National no. 5, which leads to Geneva after crossing through the heart of the Jura Region. Even if Yum Don t read French you la find Michelin s regional guide to the Jura Well Worth the Cost about 75c if Only for the detailed Road map that goes with it showing the Best routes to the Prin Cipal Scenic attractions.

While we do not deny the Merit of this device when prop Erly employed unfortunately numerous abuses have been committed in its name. Observe to Day s Mournful performance by West a player far above average. North and South staggered into five Diamond contract against which West opened the King of clubs. East convinced that a continuation of the suit was Neces sary for a successful defense Fol Lowed with the nine As loud a signal As he had at his disposal. West improperly construing this As a suit preference signal promptly shifted to the Deuce of Spades. From Here in Declarer had an unobstructed Road to game.

Had West continued with a club at trick two Declarer would have Lead no Chance for his con tract for when East obtained the Lead with the heart Ace a third club Lead would Force Dummy to Ruff with an Honor and establish East s Jack of Trumps As the setting trick. In this Case it is by no Means indicated that a shift must remade for it might Well be that East desire a club continuation in order to Force the Dummy. There must be some Way for third hand to request a Continua Tion signal. From a purely common sense standpoint if East desired a Spade shift All he had to do was play a Low club requesting a shift. Now what else could West Lead but a Spade with such Strong heart suit staring him in the face Gooy Rigau 1959, the Chicago Tribune the stars and strikes summer storm midst scattered Thunder and flashing lightning sweeping summer Rains barely moisten the Earth while the whistling angry winds gather dust into groups that menacingly March Dow streets and across vacant lots in search of people or cars to slap. Dogs bark in anger and then fear at the a hearing winds before hiding under porches or overturned boxes. Slow moving cars and trucks huddle themselves As they pass along the streets now commanded by the boisterous winds. John Noonan Izmir Turkey return visit the River still glides quiet and deep where twisting currents run their course beneath the White spanned Bridge a jewel in the Sun sad Willows still Sway whispering to shadows gone and past and Long necked simans still dip and Glide where Reeds hold morsels fast the Palace still stands lonely by a medieval Host to melancholy memories an silent weeping ghosts Church Chimes and lingering Blos soms still permeate the evening air and the bittersweet of Bird songs still pays poignant homage there. In this quiet and Lovely landscape not a Twig nor line has changed Only i am different. I m the stranger. The estranged. Winifred supera the Netherlands a Forest a Forest whose Cool Damp bed is covered with a multitude of darkened leaves evenly spread houses eternal Solitude. There it is that i shall rest alone As time there lingers under the thickened Sylvian Crest. Untouched by sol s hot sound but music do 1 hear no sight thai is not Beauty no creature Here that is not dear nor falters in his duty. Not the Power of a storm at sea nor the vastness of the Plains but rather a solemn dignity this Jungle bed maintains. As Solitude causes time to cease and harmonises nature s me rest in eternal peace beneath this thatched roof. John s.

Now is the time to sit and shoo the Breeze to poke at hot embers to. Takeout ease. In the heavens the stars Are right Here on Earth in the campfire Light All is quiet except for a Moun Tain Stream and occasionally we hear a screech owl scream. The Story telling that starts will last for hours and the tales will Range from horses to Flowers. Later on the fire groins dim it Stime to bed Down but the campers Are still talking t and sitting Aro Imd. Being close to nature is like be ing close to god it s a Niissle Why people say that hermits Are Odd.
