Old World has something to please
every visitor during July and August
STRANGELY enough, it is with a
typically American celebration, in
the little kingdom Of Denmark. that
July in Europe starts off. There on
the Fourth at Rebild National Park,
tens of thousands of Americans and
Danes will join in celebrating Amer
icas Independence day. This year is
very important to the little park, for
it marks the tWenty-fifth anniversary
Of its dedication and special silver
jubilee program is planned
July will be celebrated. too, in the
Belgian town Of Wise. but not because
it is Americas independence day.
There the people take part in fete
that dates back long before the United
States was a Nation, to the time that
the towns citizens carried arquebuses.
Though these guns have been out
moded since about 1870, the descend
ants of their bearers are still organized
in guilds and several times year
stage celebrations that have all the
color of the Middle Ages.
In France, at Biarritz, Paris and
elsewhere, Americans will have op-
portunity to celebrate their national
holiday, and a few days later, July
IA. to take part in the festivities OF
Bastille day. that Of France. Merry

are displayed along the Seine, and

the earth was in the making. The
Jagged coastline in the northern part
is evidence of ancient upheavals and
the sandy southern shores show where
the glaciers finally stopped their pull
verizlng and melted back into the
North.
So, too, the numerous mountain
ranges show the work of nature in
prehistoric times. Thus New Eng
land has been bequeathed a wonder
fully various terrain. Man has
changed it but little, and then only
to make it more readily accessible
and useful.

may stand and gaze over the rounded

Atlantic, knowing that you would
have to travel all the way down to
Rio de Janeiro before you could find
as high mountain peak rising di-
rectly from the sea.
Hiker's trails, marked with log
cabins and other shelters for the
night. open up vast regions where the
automobile cannot penetrate. Con-
recticut has its Litchfield Hills,
broken and sec-etive, with winding
rivers down in deep-cut valleys. The
Berkshlres, in Massachusetts, connect
with the Litchfields, yet they are
quite different. They lie mostly in
long horizontals, with both wider and
longer valleys between, giving a
wholly different landscape effect.
Moving up on to Vermont, one en-
ters the Green Mountains, long, ma
jestiC backbone" of the State. All
through them are scattered broad and
smiling lakes. The Green Mountain
range runs north and south, at least
1000 of its peaks 1000 feet or higher.

from peak to peak up to the Canadian
border
Over in New Hampshire are the
noble White Mountains, with their
breath-taking sweep from valley floor
to topmost crag.
Still further over. in Maine, is the
wild, mysterious Katahdin, lonely
monarch Of the deep woods, repository
Of much Indian lore.
The maritime quality of New Eng
land is one Of the most appealing of
all its recreational resources.
The varying aspects which the sea
puts on have their own magic. Sun
rise and sunset, the typical sunny day
with the long, cool combers rolling
in from the sharp line of the cloud
banked horizon to smash in a
smother of green and white on the
shore. Then day when the sky is of
wet gray wool and a mighty wind
piles up black sea into snow-capped
mountains of hurrying water.
On another day perhaps a white,
silent frog will sheathe the world.
One can see but few feet right
around you, but there are all the noises

of the seattle boom of the surf, the
eerie clank of bell buoy out by the
reef, the blat and whistle of boats
feeling their way.
SPECTATOR sports are numerous
Major and minor league base ball,
four horse racing tracks and several
dog tracks, with pari-mutuel betting,
golf and tennis matches with the
worlds great stars enrolled, soccer
games, polo matches, steeplechases-
the whole catalogue is there.
Two new Summer sports for the
hunter have emerged in New England
recently. One is-don't laugh-wood-
chuck hunting It takes a willy hunter
and first-rate marksman to get near
enough to one and to bring him down
Another novelty is seal hunting, right
in the New England harbors, with a

too, is a sport to challenge the hunter
Motoring itself is sport that finds
expression in New England. So is fly
