there were others who could have

always, always it was he. He
tightened his hold on the handle

The people here are conspicu

for hard work. Even on their
national confederation day, cele

day’s work had been completed.
In Geneva, people quietly gather

after supper, heard patriotic
speeches and shot off fire-crack

Geneva is an international
crossroads. During the course of
less than a year’s stay here, we
have met many interesting people
from home and abroad.
Joe
Izumi, whose parents live in Tor

Easter and our minister’s son
from Verdun in September, both
on travelling fellowships.
The weather here is now mild,
humid and misty; the grass is
still green and roses are bloom

in front of the office; leaves of
deciduous trees which are old
gold and reddish brown, are fall

is pleasantly warm, there is
heavy frost in the night. This is
generally the quiet season until
skiing begins.
If I manage to get a small car,
I shall travel through more distants parts of Switzerland and
the neighboring countries; but in
the meantime I can say that the
