TIME asked Jones to paint his own impression of faraway places for this week's Modern Living story on travel, and Jones responded by painting places he has never seen (his own faraway travel has been limited to Alaska as a World War II War Department artist, Labrador on a FORTUNE iron-ore assignment, and Bermuda for pleasure). Jones riffled through scads of travel photographs and "picked places that said to me, 'Go, go, I want to go there.' " For the curious, Jones's melange includes a girl from Tahiti, some cliffs near Beirut, a Greek...
...only subsistence pay and hard living, they stick: only two volunteers out of 165 have quit so far. In 25 countries, VSO currently has 87 public-school boys, factory apprentices, girls and university men-all working at everything from repairing bicycles in Kenya to aiding sick Eskimos in Labrador. Wrote one Southeast Asian official: "Send us the best you have, as many as possible, and as quickly as you can." The stripling volunteers have shouldered responsibilities that would turn a grownup grey-or green with envy. In Sarawak, a 19-year-old boy, lately a factory apprentice, is in sole...

Captains Olmstead and McKone were forced to delay overnight in Goose Bay, Labrador, while weather cleared along their route. It was a convenient layover. It gave the two men time to outfit themselves with Air Force uniforms at the base post exchange; it gave Air Force doctors a chance to convince themselves that both men were in good mental and physical health.

The Earl of Strathmore, the castle's present guardian, tried to brave the flames to rescue his Labrador puppy, then thought better...
Those were the days when aviators were known by the adventures they logged. When the German plane Bremen crash-landed off Labrador after its historic east-west Atlantic crossing in 1928, Quesada and a young captain named Ira Eaker flew north to help save the crew. At one point during that mission, Quesada got lost flying above the clouds. He began thinking "how marvelous it would be if there were some way to do airborne refueling on a continuous basis." Quesada later got Eaker to push his idea with high Air Corps brass. The result was the famous Question Mark...
