i'Upply of aspirin, drams- three children were Lhcre to meet
me, You ask me "Betty, were you
tranquilizers which I did nervous?" I was not, maybe the
worry about leaving my husband,
Frank, here alone with the arran-
gements for the burial of his only
__ brother in South Carolina gave
| lilt me strength, I do not know. I
|U [i Elm !t" can only tell you it seemed just
,]l ill i like I had been over here and
came to x isit again.
':ITON VALLEY The first one to recognize me
.,'rr'n ,,,r, we, s my grandson, Hart, and he
F*rizt ll/-lhb was calling "Oma, Oma". I guess
;i going through customs in Amster-
(;]a[ l| I dam gave all of us time to col-
']llil| lllttl|! lect ourselves. We all rushed into
rll, i |fibril 'ltll each others arms. I do not re-

J TUNE TOPPERS glad to see me, and I was glad to
SBLES 1'0 US
;g ;;;
Holland. to take my daughter
home. After that we left, my
oldest son, Peter, him wife Annie
and little Hart dressed up as a
cowboy. He was Roy Rogers, by
the way.
We had dinner in a restaurant
at my request so Annie would not
have to, bother when we got at
my sons house. Th% food was
'ood, but, high. For a dollar in
Holland. I got 3.60 gulden, but our
I dinner with one drink for us wan
over 30. gulden. I did have to
buy a raincoat which was 37.70
gulden.
After spending two days with
Peter, I went to my daughter Ad-
di's home for a couple of days,
and then to my son. Wim, in Oeg-
stgeest, a suburb of Leiden. Here
he teaches school.
Here I remembered war condi-
tions, not the destruction, but the
prices and food. A teacher over
there does not make money like
here, but, the food prices over
there were outrageous. My son is
paying back to the Holland gov-
e.rnment his loan to study. He is
a very religious person, and has
lo give 10 percent from his take-
home pay to the church. When I
was there, he had to take his
three-year-old girl to the dentist
to have teeth pulled.
Wim's wife Annie was a nurse
in the war, but. she cannot work
because she is a teacher's wife.
The class difference in the good
old country, you know.
So there is my only worry, a
teacher as a son, but no food for
the family like we have iL here in
the United States.
Peter, my oldest son. determined
like his mother, changed his pro-
fession and is a long distance
truck driver. He comes home with
192 gulden a week. Both of the
boys want to come over as soon
as they can, but, I would like to
have Wim come over here first.
My son-in-law, Hans Smilde, also
a teacher, is doing much better.
IRis parents are helping out quite
a bit.
On Oct. 10 I left with my sister
for German. She came to get me,

The following day we went to
the convent where my dad had
died in 1949 and to Kettering on
the Ruhr to the cemeteries where
my brothers who had died since
I left for the USA were buried.
I was glad to be home in the
country I came from. Often I did
have to stop and look again, It
was the old, and again not. The
house where I was born was re-
built, somehow the same, but again
iL was not, The church where I
was baptised was in the same
place, the Father who gave me
my first communion was no more.
I felt like running back to the
States.
After the Rhine Ruhr center,
my homeland, I went to Frank-
furt where I was married and lived
until I came to America. I saw
all the families of my former hus-
band in Frankfurt. AL the time I
lived there, I was Mrs. Noss. I
stayed with my former neighbors,
Mr. and iflrs. Rudolph Beck. Here
in Frankfurt I got the biggest sur-
prise. I did not know my way
around any more. Frankfurt was
flat from three days and nights
of bombing, and when I left iL was
still the same. There is now a
new city. Some of the old historic
buildings, like the House of Goethe,
and the old cathedral and many
more are restored in their old
glory.
My old home, a restaurant my
mother and father-in-law manag-
ed for my husband and me during
the war while we were in Russia,
is there no more. There is a bank
in its place. I was standing in the
pouring rain and looking. I only
could cry to remember the bomb
attacks the old buildings had stood
up under only to be removed. It
was not right. The surroundings
had not changed.
I WALKED for miles, seeing
some familiar faces. They looked
at me and I looked at them, but,
I knew I had forgotten their
names.
My sister-in-law I saw first on
the street. I said "hello Mrs. Noss"
in German. She said hello, then,
all at once she recognized me and
said, "hello Mrs. Noss".
Mrs. Joe Cheney and girls ar-
rived here from Bangkok, Thai-
land, last Thursday. She will stay
with Mrs. Oscar Smith for the
time being. Her husband Capt.
Joe Cheney was stationed at Viet
Nam. Early in September he was
shot down somewhere in that ter-
ritory.
The Navy mothers of Shelton
met at the home of Mrs. erie
Dean here Oct. 30, to cut and
sew layettes for Navy wives.
They had a covered dish lun-
cheon. Those attending were Ma-
rion Richardson, Eunice Sharp,
Gertrude WesteoLL. Daisy Pinny,
Mildred Prouty, Sally Prouty Ber-
tha Lord, Mary Baxter, H.elen
Pearce and Georgia Fanning.
Bonnie Allen. Bette Cowan, Che-
ryl Cowan, Tammie Arkin and
Janis Fanning, with other stud-
ents of the Hood Canal Jr. High
went to Aberdeen Saturday to
the Girls League Fall Conference.
This was held a£ the Hopkins Jr.
High. Sandy Bollinger is secretary
of Northwestern Girls League Di-
vision.
LITTLE KAREN BITTLE was
given a birthday party by her par-
ents. Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Bittle
Sunday. This was her first birth-
day. She received many gifts and a
delicious dinner was enjoyed by
her grandparents Mr. and Mrs.
Lyle Bittle, her Uncle David Bit-
tle, and Mr. and Mrs. Nat Stairs
her aunt and uncle. Also two lit-
tle cousins Cindy and Gregie. It
was a pretty big day for a one
.year old.

American companies are build-
ing in Germany right and left,
and are making a killing in re-
turn. A refrigerator, like a 20-gal-
lon hot water tank, costs 200
marks. You cannot buy a pound
of meat for less than 4 marks.
Mr. Bock's daughter-in-law gets
4 marks an hour in the Ameri-
can PX but, the American help
gets only $1.25 an hour. The feel-
ing between the employees is not
too good because of the socialized
medicine and the social security
for the German employees.
I was nursing over there before,
in and after the war, reading and
working in the office of a doctor
here. You can keep socialized med-
icine, yott just have to be with it
to see the difference.
Democrats or Republicans of
should not even think
about this bill at all.
You may think I am joking, but
I am not. My brother-in-law has
coal dust in his lungs. He gets
eL good pension, granted, but good
medicine, no. I could tell the AMA
a story about this.
I was afraid to answer any
questionsj.n Germany about our
Negro rest*sulLy, but. strange, no
one asked. I was asked if I was
a Democrat or Republican and
how America was thinking over
the wall in Berlin.
MY BROTItER-IN-LAW told
me the factory did put in TV for
the workers to see our president
in Berlin. They were impressed
when he arrived in West Germany,
but, when the president said on
TV he was a Berliner, all went
back to Work. My nephew said
"TanLe Betty, you have to see it
to-realize what is going on. I
was upset to see the German peo-
ple speak so plainly about
Cuba, Russia and so on.
Most of all to hear the sirens.
After so many years they scared
me. To my question of "why". I
was told they are kept in order
and starting in 1964 all of the peo-
ple will have to practice again.
To sd a country destroyed, and
then to come bsck again after 16
years and see all those beautiful
apartment buildings which have
one up, a person stops and won-
der.
I went through German apart-
ment buildings right on the main
street in FF1V[ and saw Negroes
living beside German people, wash-
ing their windows like the Ger-
mans dd. I felt ashamed to myself
right theu about the wlole Negro
situation here in America.
And I realized deep down Amer-
ica is only a good old Santa Claus.
We give and are stabbed in tl'e
back with a knife.
I would never say I want to be
an American who did not go to
vote, because then I would not
have the right to complain. I came
to this country to be an American
and I am glad of it. I know my
children will be so Leo, and I am
not ashamed to tell you all. I am
glad to be baek.
A little thought and a little
kindness are often worth more
tta u great deal of money.
