Halladay Writes of Recent Trip We went primarily to attend the Rotarian convention which was in Ostend, Bel held gium, from June 3rd to J u ne n t h.

The cities of Switzerland, nestled their in the Alps mountains, and people engaged in wood carving, watch making, cheese making and embroidery, held much interest. T he a verdure clad Alps furnished %> 10 striking- contrast to our bold, bare, imposing Rocky mountains.
