Homeless Wanderers
» Over the straggling figures rise
storms of yellow dust stirred up
by the churning wheels of military
vehicles. The refugees clog traf
fic. Motor horns honk impatiently.
V’orried truck drivers shout curses.
But the refugees move out of the
way slowly. They are in no hurry
because most of them do not know
where they are going anyway.
Many have no homes to go back
to. Their villages have been
burned by artillery ‘fire, strafing
plane attacks, or razed by with
drawing American troops to keep
them from becoming hiding places
for enemy vehicles. The Reds have
a habit of driving their tanks
through the clay walls of village
huts and using the thatched roof
as camouflage.
The refugees neither weep nor
complain. Nor does one family
ask or expect help from another.
Their expression is as stolid and
blank as that often worn by in
fantrymen too long in the line —
a dumb acceptance of suffering
and an indifference to it because
their world has no horizon beyond
pain, .
Only as you near the front your
self do you see fear. Here is panic
in the eyes of women and children
who flee peaceful homes under
the thunder of strange guns.’ Some
wander aimlessly toward the bat
tllines. To keep these lines clear,
South Korean police order the
refugees to follow the stream beds
back or take paths through the
Days of Pathos
After days and days of driving
back and forth through its shift
ing, restless, endless sea of human
suffering your mind becomes
numb to the flight of thousands of
individual atoms that compose it.
So much distress dulls the eye.
You feel sorry for them all but
there are so many that only a few
cases leave a sore spot in your
heart.
I remember two. Crossing a
bridge I saw a man in tattered,
soiled white rags crawling on
hands and knees across the dry
stone studded creek bed below.
He held up a pleading arm to a
group of refugees but they turned
their eyes away and walked on.
And I guess that is what I did
too. Coming home at twilight, Bur
jeep passed a solitary bearded old
native guiding his way down a
mountain path by tapping the
ditch edge with his cane. He turned
his sightless eyes toward us for
a moment and then his cane be
gan tap tapping again. We turned
a bend and he was gone.
But all the rest of-the way I
had a feeling that the blind old
man was all humanity himself—a
Jone refugee fumbling downhill in
darkness, stone by stone through
a world whose real brightness was
shut forever from his eyes.

Tennessee Satisfies Desire
For Vista Mixed With History
NASHVILLE, Tenn, — The va
cationist who likes to mix history
with scenery will find Tennessee
particularly satisfying.
For Tennessee has spectacular
mountain vistas on one hand and
a glorious past on the other—a
past dating back to the earliest
days of the colonization of North
America by the French, the Eng
lish, and the Spanish.
And there is much of this past
for the tourist to see today in be
tween jaunts to the Great Smok
ies, the Cumberlands, or the TVA
Great Lakes of the South.
One of the more prominent of
Tennessee’s historical shrines is
“The Hermitage,” located on High
way 70-N about 12 miles east of
Nashville. It rests in a natural set
ting ‘of stately trees and rolling
lawns. Here Jackson returned
after the battle of New Orleans, a
conquering hero and the idol of the
nation. It was from here that he
guided the destiny of the flour
ishing young American Republic
during the Jacksonian era.
~ Architectural Classic
Mellowed with age, the building
is a classic example of the archi
tecture of the period. The interior
has been preserved in every detail
and contains on of the finest col
lections of early American furni
ture in existence. Log cabins of
the servants and the old spring
house still stand, and in a more
recently constructed carriage
house is the coach that Jackson
used between Washington and
Nashville while President.
The Hermitage is open to visi
tors from 8 a. m. to sundown, and
a small admission is charged for
maintenance. 8
South of Nashville, two miles
from Smyrna, on U, S. 41, is the
birthplace and home of Sam Davis,
the boy hero of the Confederacy.
Davis, captured behind Federal
lines with secret papers, was of
fered freedom in return for the
names of the informers from
whom he secured the information.
Refusing to betray a confidence,
he was executed as a spy near|

Two Military Parks
Stones River National Military
Park, located three miles north
west of Murfreesboro, Tenn., com=
memorates the battle of Stones
River, considered to be one of the
hardest fought of the War Between
the States. Visitors are urged to
go first to the superintendent’s of
fice and hegin the tour of the park
there, There are tablets with com
plete accounts of the battle, orien
tation maps, and trailside exhibits
to make a realistic history lesson
out of a visit to Stones River.
Still another interesting histori
cal-site is the Chickamauga and
Chattanooga National Military
Park, near Chattanooga. These are
the oldest and largest of the mili
tary park areas. Visitors will find
it helpful to go first to Point Park
on Lookout Mountain, where from
the terrace of the Adolph S. Ochs
Observatory and Museum, high
above the winding Tennessee Riv
er, a comprehensive view of the
Battlefield of Chattanooga may, be
obtained. )
Perhaps one of the most fasci
nating memorials in the state is
the Natchez Trace Parkway, a
frontier road running from Nat
chez, Miss.,, to Nashvjlle, Tenn.
Originally it was a series of In
dian trails, and in 1799 it was es
tablished as a post road. Construc
tion of this project was started in
1937, but shortlysafter 1941, work
had to be discontinued Because of
the war. Although the parkway
is now under construction, it is
open to travel for short distances.
When completed, the parkway will
be 450 miles long with an average
width of 800 feet,
Along the parkway and just be
low Hohenwald, Tenn., on High
‘way 20, is Meriwether- Lewis Na
tional Monument. He was the
Lewis of the famous Lewis and
Clark Expedition that explored
the great northwest of the United
States. After his return in 1806
Lew!; was appointed governor of
Loulsiana. Meriwether Lewis Na
tional Park containg a museum to
illustrate the career of its illustri
ous namesake and to point out the
significance of his accomplish=
ments in American history. A pic
nic ground with fireplaces, bench
es, and tables is available to those
who would mix history with the
more invigorating aspects of out
door picnicking.
