Havird to his brother Hen ry Mayer Havird which we believe our readers will find interesting. This is the story of a recent visit to Calcutta, the second largest city, in the British Empire. The 1941 cen sus reported its papulation of some thing over 2 million people, but I arr told that due to migration caused by the war that it now approximates nearly four million people. At Calcutta’s famous place “New Market’ which sells practically every thing imaginable my friend and I were approached by a Hindu, a tour ist guide with the view in mind of taking a city tour, but needed two more in order to operate two cars. Since we had already obtained tick ets for a Red Cross tour for that afternoon, we were not interested. However, upon high pressure persua sion we joined his party. His charge was 5 rupees each ($1.50), but in view of the fact that we had already obtained Red Cross tickets and that he needed two more wje only paid five rupees for the two of us (75c each). Our first stop was at the Marble Palace where we saw all kinds of statues, monuments, and antiques. We saw the statues of Queen Vic toria, Mohatma Gandhi, women with horses hoofs a nd their babes in their arms of like appearance, an old clock of pure gold, and many others too numerous to mention. It consist ed of an immense wealthy collection of arts and treasures. From there we went to the Jain Temple where we were required before entering to remove our shoes. It was a mar vellous structure in that it appeared to be limned with gold and dia monds. In one of the corridors some five or six of us stood on each side next to mirrors and there we could see ourselves in columns of twos in an endless line. Nearby we saw a flame which was encased which they said had burned continuously since its construction about 77 years ago. The flame' neither produced smoke nor blackness Whatever makes the flame perpetual is somewhat of a mystery. Outside the temple we saw a native charming India’s most poi sonous snake the Cobra. He had some two or three cobras in a basket which he pulled out and placed on the ground, in the meantime blowing his honi swinging it back a n forth which evidently charmed and .prevented the snake from striking. The cobra would rise with his head extended some 12 or 18 inches off the ground and face the music. His head is some three or four inches yride and is very flat, something on the order of a spread adder. At one particular instance one of the snakes gave the appearance of (Continued on back page) LOOKING DOWN MEMORY LANE TWENTY YEARS AGO A through service from London to Paris without changing cars, or alighting from the train will be come effective shortly, when huge ferry boats carrying trains are put into commission between Dover and Calais.
