SWISS EXHIBIT—Jo Sneed, of Shreveport, Louisiana, smilingly compares a woman's gold watch with a plastic jewelled-lever escapement at the National Jewellery Fair in Chicago, Ilinols. The plastic model, made in Switzerland, is 149 times larger than a normal watch escapement.

SHE DOESN'T NEED GAS--Mrs Olgie Lamear had been travelling for three weeks when she stopped in Pepper Pike Village, Ohio, to get some air in the tyres of her wagon. After selling her farm at Hope, Arkansas, she set out with two dogs, 12 goats and 48 chickens and her horses for her native Vermont where she hopes to find a suitable farm.

TURNABOUT—In search of food, this bear drove out the three occupants of a launch, near Duluth, Minn. However, it didn't stay in control of the boat for long because the animal was shot just after this picture was taken.

-MISS 'AMERICA' ON A FRENCH BEACH-Rebe Shopp, "Miss America" of 1948, plays volleyball on the beach at Deauville, France, during her tour of Europe.

FIND "FLYING SAUCERS”—-U.S. State police guard one of the two weird- looking flying-saucer type aircrafts found near, Marley Park, Maryland. They were built before the war by Jonathan Caldwell who has since disappeared.

Now the Air Force is searching for him to find out why he built the unique

machines. To date, it remains a mystery.
