Pagan Goddess Turks in Background as
Bretons Bless odd Ocean; Ten
Commandments for Visitors
Commandments for Visitors

Every tourist who crosses the At
lantic for a summers vacation
should visit Breton fete in France
on one of the days when a benedic-
ton Of the sea is being held. Such
religious festivals are held in few
other places in Europe, although
visitors may sometimes see them on
the Riviera-one was held at Antilles
on July 2-and occasionally in Bel
gium The one place where they are
frequent is Brittany, the wave
washed northwest corner of old
France. where the people are almost
sea- born. .
Not only do the men of Brittany
man the great French liners and the
fishing boats in the Great Banks of
Newfoundland, but they are the
strength of the French Navy. They
know the sea. Old ocean is famil-
lar to each one. and that means
not only an intelligent appreciation
of seafaring, but it also means in a
Breton a mystical understanding
For centuries, back in the mind of
the Breton sailor and in the minds
Of his wife mother and children, is
conception of the sea as a beau
tiful but dangerous goddess.
When Christianity came to the
Bretons first, this old sea goddess
became transformed into Sainte
Anne, the grandmother of Jesus,
and the former placating of the
dangerous old sea witch has changed
into festival in honor of a Chris
tian saint. At many a town and
village on that coast this summer
American visitors will see the loca,
clergy and their congregations come
down to the shore to chant in solemn
unison: God bless old ocean," In
the early days of the race, the prayer
was mostly fear; today the fear is
united with curious admiration
for the wild and beautiful element
on which these families depend for
their living.
On July Is the whole population
of Porsal, almost on the Lands End
point of Finisterre, took part in the
benediction of the wild sea that
beats upon its rocks. Many a visitor
now en- route to France or leaving
shortly will see similar celebrations

lost their men to the ocean goddess
They all wear gray hood, but, fol-
lowing them in even stranger array,
are those who felt the embrace of
the wild goddess but were rescued
in time. They march always in the
clothes they wore when they were
saved-sea clothes, spattered with
tar. rent and shabby-and some
add realism to the scene by dip
ping themselves into the sea before
the procession begins. The process
sion usually carries models of the
ships that were lost, and even relics
that were saved with the men.
Sainte Anne is now looked up to
as the savior of the seafaring-
whose help can be had against the
old sea goddess. AS one old fisher
man put it, The blessed saint does
her very best for us and we thank
her with all our hearts; but, while
we praise her, we can hear the other
laughing down there all the time!'
1t is the more than 2,000-year hold
of "the other" on the imagination OF
these men and women which makes
their sea festivals so impressive and
solemn. The costumes used and
banners. as well as the images car
ried in these professions, are handed
down from generations bygone. A
young girl in line may be wearing
what her great grandmother wore a
century before; but, far more than
clothes, she will wear almost the
same mind. The world may be
changing and sophistication found
in the most remote places, but along
the sea-indented rocks Of Brittany
the tourist may still find a state OF

on August 81. So important is the
sea in the life of this people that
few things are decided without
reference to it. The life of a
modern city man may be strongly

Brittany 1t Is the sea.
At Sainte Anne de la Palue on the
Bay of Douarnenez there takes place
annually great religious festival of

A series Of helpful, significant and
practical commandments, intended
for American tourists visiting in
France, has been compiled by the
French travel authorities. Compli-
ance with them. it is promised, will
assure the visitor of getting the
maximum Of enjoyment out OF his
sojourn in France. Here they are:
l. Don't get separated from your
passport, your steamship or rail
tickets, or other important docu-
ments. Keep them with you all
times, for should you put them in
your trunk, they may go astray or
be delayed
2. Don't imagine that your knowl-
edge of French is improved by
speaking loudly; that will only in
crease the surprise and bewilder-
ment of the natives. At the same
time, don't despise the French
language or hesitate to speak it be-
cause you speak it badly. Nobody
Evening star., 1939-07-23

will laugh at you however difncult
it may be to make yourself under
stood.
3. Don't forget Emersons epigram:
There is always time to be polite" +"
It "greases the squeaks." and
smooths away many difficulties at
the frontier, in your hotel and with
Frenchmen you encounter.
4. Don't be forever seeking Amer
lean food, American films, American
coffee, and American what-not. You
can have all this on Main street.
Each French province has its spe-
cialities of architecture, gastronomy
and scenery. The wise tourist seeks
them out and enjoys them.

test in II minutes.
But before pinning Baxter the
wine-colored Indian disposed of Dick
Mahan, 230-pound leather-lunged
individual who proved his prowess
by putting an inner tube into an alb
normal sausage before turning to
wrestling. Mahan, however, was a
fiat tire when Singh finished with
him, lasting less than two minutes
after the cobra hold was clamped on.
Steve Thompson, originally sched-
uled to make an attempt to break
the hold, was refused permission to
enter the ring by DR.. Rutkowski, ex-
aminging physician.
