From the Beaches to the Alps. How Can It Be So arm Down Here and So Cold Up There? THE ALPS If a group of scientists were given un- limited funds, atomic power and instructions to carve a tourist ' s paradise from the earth ' s sur- face, they would surely refuse the assignment, and merely point to Switzerland with the ques- tion. Why build another. In Switzerland we found a picturesque beauty in the towering peaks and the still, blue lakes. Within her borders Switzerland houses the world ' s great peace movements, and many of the humanitarian societies. At Geneva one finds the International Red Cross Center, Euro- pean Headquarters of the L ' nited Nations, and other similar societies devoted to the task of bringing peace and comfort to the world. Wherever we travelled in this tiny moun- tain country we found a people noted for their hospitality.
