SAID TO BE OLDEST ORGAN
Musical instrument Dating From this
Eleventh Century Found In Church
In the pyrenees.

In recent number Of The Kings
Highway Ethel NJ. Bilbrough de.
scrihes places Of interest In the Pyre-
nees. She describes, among other
things, the little village of St. SavIn
with its old church and abbey:
"The church Is remarkable for Its
eleventh century work and for the
quaint old organ II possesses. which
Is literally crumbllng TO pieces with
age. Its few remaining pipes fall
feebly against each other, md on the
front panels are carved three huge
fantastic heads, with cavernOus hoIes
where mouths and eyes should be. The
old peasant who slowed us over the
church explained that In days gone by,
when the organ was being played,
these grotesque faces were rendered
more llfellke by a long tongue pro-
truding from the mouth. while eyes
would suddenly emerge and roll about
In the sockets. This was done, our

She 1arted past me into the car, al

TO keep George from opening the front
door for me, and she made sure of
my defeat by utterlng an acid, "Take

Monsieur rose unsteadlly 10 his feet

With those wOris monsieur actually
turned the tables on US! It was at

our misfortune. Billy says he "saw
warships carving Atlantic waves" /
saw an army with banners. And be-
hind all their immediate significance,
stood an ironclad background that
spelled determination. A minute be-
