BY Bruce Cation

All across the country you can find
those spots where bits of our past
become very real and eloquent. A par
ticular building, a certain hilltop, a
sleepy little town, a pile Of rocks. Stand
ing in such places, we are no longer
alone. The past comes alive, and we
see our own lives as part Of an endless,
-unbroken procession; we understand
little better what it is to be an American.
So the question naturally arises: which
are the finest and most precious Of these
national shrines Of ours? Which places
are most worth visit?
When this writer was asked TO join in
THIS WEEKS Question" game and reply
to that query, he felt the need Of con-
sultation. and so he wrote to number
Of distinguished Americans asking for
their guidance. OF each one, he asked:
What historic shrincs in this country
seem to you to be Of the greatest value?
Answers were received from Irving
S. Olds and Eleanor Roosevelt, from
Paul g. Hoffman and Senator Margaret
Chase Smith, from Cecil B. De Mile
and Adlai Stevenson, from Dorothy
Garfield Fisher, from Bernard M.
Baruch, CarlSandbure, Walter Lippmann

Question

Historic Wonders Of american" To ger
The answer, we called on historian Bruce
Cation, who in turn asked several leading
Americans for their choices.
ANSWER: Month after month the
automobiles move along the American
highways. Since the world began there
never was a movement Of people like
this. And especially at this time Of year.
all America is on wheels, going some
place looking for something not to
be found by stay-at-homes.
A great number of these travellers are
moving simply to have look at their
country, to visit the places that are
so deeply embedded in the national
memory that they have become shrines.
They are travelling not merely from
here to there but from now to then,
seeking to get back into the past, and
to find tangible reminders of some of
the great moments in American history.

seedlings, changed 106 feet of
old roadway and damned up old
gullies to prevent erosion. Ker-
nit has a four-year crop rotation
plan in use, two acres of pasture
sowed with orchard grass and
ladino clover, and two acres in
alfalfa.
The farmland soil was sampled
and recommended fertilization
and lining practiced. One thou

RAREST OF GEESE ON
PEA ISLAND REFUGE

Approximately 1000 greater
snow geese, one of the rarest spe-
cies of migratory waterfowl, We're
counted at Pea Island National
Wildlife Refuge on the Outer
Banks during the week.
"Since that count, near frigid
weather has resulted in additions
to the flock of snow geese which
spend several weeks at the federal
refuge extending from Oregon In
let to Rodanthe on the northern
tip of Hatteras Island,p said L. B.
Turner, refuge manager.
By mid-Decem' er the snow
goose population o. the Pea Island
refuge is expected to reach 5000
or more, which will be practically
all of this species known to exist.
The normal population of greater
snow geese, all g. which use the
Atlantic Flyway Is estimated to be
about 10000. The species has long
had absolute protection from
hunters through international
agreements between the United
States and Canada.
Pea Island refuge, which during
the winter months attracts many
varieties of migratory birds and
wildfowl, was created primarily for
g.-eater snow geese. The last count
listed more than 1000 Canada
geese, and about $1,000 of the
various species of ducks.
Turner stated that due to warm

NORTH CAROLINA sECONI

NORTH CAROLINA SECOND
North Carolina had the second
lowest number of forest fires and
acres burned, according to an Oct
ober regional fire survey. The Diyi-
sion of Forestry reported 81 fires
burning 1913 acres. The interstate
survey conducted by the Southern
Pulpwood Conservation Association
of Atlanta, Ga, indicates that only
Virginia had less forest fires and
acreage burned than North Caro-
lima. With the states and Region
Eight of the u. S. Forest Service
reporting, a totol of 1857 forest
fires burned 10,481 acres during
October. The Division of Forestry
indicates that campers and hunters
were listed as the cause of the
most fires, IL during October.
Smokers were listed second, with
seven fires contributed to this
category. Hunters and other per-
sons in the forests at this time of
year are cautioned that little
sparks make big fires. A carelessly
tossed match or cigarette can: do
millions of dollars in damage if
not completely extinguished.

DEToNATIoN OF A HYDRO.

GEN BOMB IN RUSSIA comes al
most as an echo of the blast of
four members of the Atomic
Energy Commission against the re-
marks of the fifth, Commissioner
Thomas E. Murray. His public pro-
posaL that we invite representa-
tives of the peoples of the world
to witness an H-bomb blast at
Eniwetok, the atomic Summit"
was rejected privately by the other
Acc members months ago, they
said.
Four-against-one does not nee
essarily mean this is a bad idea.
There must be some world compre-
hension of this horror before the
world will buckle down to control
ling it.
