"['he little white tiouses with their red tile roofs looled so peaceful against the freshly plow- ed fields. As we left Ireland, a feathery mist ,along the shore line made it look like it might have been Ju,t a figment of the inlagln- ation. We also docked at Southhamp- ton', England and Le Havre, France before docklng at Cuxhav- : ell, Germany. I really made a big splash as we left the ship.-and not in the wa- ter. Joe, my husband, was there to meet us, and as I ran to him, the strap on the baby bottle holder broke. Glass and milk were all over the place, and everyone was laughing. We didn't care though, our baby was seven months old and Joe had'never seen him be- fore. It was a very happy reunion. The next day was spent travel- ing by train to Fulda where Joe was stationed, and the following days setting up housekeeping and buying the things we needed.

Most German ,homes are heated with coal (it's tile most econonlic- a'l) and each room has its own stove. ELEJTR*IC APPI,IANCES are very expensive in Gernlahy and in all lhe homes I visited I saw very few. Electric stoves seemed to be the appliance most German faro- flies purchased first.

TIMF I'ASSED very quictdy for me in Germany, especislly towards spring. ()n Sundays wo would pacg a pmnie hlnch and go for a drive to an old eas[le or other poillt of interest. Tbere were several old castles l'lt,.q  ol3}_ • honle, one of which was completely fm'nishe. The beauty of this castle and its furnishings were so I)reathtaking, it was like stepping into anolhcr world. Even some of the real life scenes in dermany look the same as they nlight have many years ago. Much of the farming is done with oxen and horses and even by hand• Timre were always many hmny k)oking, horse drawn, wooden wagons along the road, many arle- en by wonlen. Women also do more than their share of the farm work and are just as strong as the Inen. The forests of Germany are nlore like parks than forests as we know them. 'Phere is no under- brush. It is all picked up and tak- en home for fuel. Especially after a storm or when the wind has been blowing quite hard, yon see people out picking up branch s blown ,off the trees. The people of Germany have known many hardships, as they have all over Europe. They have learned to get along without many things and they waste nothing. America is the most wonderful country in the world but there is a. lot we can learn from our Eu- ropean neighbors. IN MAY we went to Holland for the. Ttilip Festival, traveling up the Rhine River through Koln and Dusseldorf. Holland is a prosper- otis and clean looking country compared to most, and we enjoyed it very much. We toured all the tulip country which of course was very colorful. We visited Keukenhoff Park, which I'm sure is the most beauti- ful in Holland. The thousands of tulips and landscaping of this park were beyond description. We went to the dyke acros the Zyder Zee, which is 17 miles long, making it the longest dyke in the world. We also heard that this was the same dyke the little Dutch boy put his finger in to save Holland. A wonderful day was spent in Amsterdam where we toured the canals by boat. We motored through The Hague and Rotter- dam where we spent an afterrloon at the zoo. Of course, we saw many windmills and wooden shoes which you'd expect to see ]n Hal- land• In June wc went to France and England in our little car.

Classified as "white collar" in tile govornment's reports ll'e pro- fcssional, technical and kindred \\;vol'kers, nlanagers, officials and proprietors, clerical workers and sales people. In the so-galled" "blue collar" gl'OUp are farnlers, service A'ol'k- OrS, factory employees and all others. Major changes in the nation's job distribution patterns have re- sulted fronl technological ad- vances, both on the farnl and in the factory, since 19t0. TilE DFPAI{TMENT of Labor describes the general trend as a long-term, rapid growth of white collar workers, a slower growth in blue collar occupations, along with a continuing rise in the skill level, a decline in employment among farmers and farm laborers and a faster-than-avertge growth among service workers. In Shelton, the nunlber of white collar jobs climbed from 390 in 1940 to a total of 489 in 1950 and to 589, estinlated, today. The 51 percent rise was sharp- er than that recorded in the Unit- ed States as a whole, 45 Itercent. Looking ahead at the effect on the nation's employment picture uf more ald mor mechanical equipment, the Labor Department sees an increase of more than 3, 000,000 blue collar workers in the next decade, with the emphasis on skilled workers. the smaller towns we traveled t h r(ng'h. 1N ]'AI{I, , we visited the Arch of Triumph and The Louvre. Then we walked through 'the NATO grounds, across the Rive}-' Seine to tile Eiffel Tower. We ate at a typ- ical sidewalk cafe before leaving for the coast. We left from ]o- logne, Franee and arrived in Dov- er, England 2 hours' later. We spent two wonderful days in London where the only bad thing was driving on the left side of the road. The Parliament buildings, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, London Bridge, the British Museum and the Tower of London will be things to renlember the rest of our lives. AFTER LEAVING London we beaded nortb to Shakespeare land and Cambridge where we saw King's College Chapel, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. We went further north ant west to Lancashire where we saw miles of stone fences built hun- dreds of years ago. In Wigan, Lan- cashire we visited with my moth- er's relatives for 3 days. While in Wigan we saw the town stocks wtfich were used hundreds of years ago to punish people for lying and other nlinor crimes. There was al- so an old alehouse in Wigan with stables behind it. Centuries ago travelers were given a chance to refresh while the horses were be- ing changed. Ve also stopped at Blackpoot (the Coney Island of Enghmd) before going home to Fuhta. The rest of the time in Germany really flew by. Before I knew it, it \\;\,as time to start packing to come home again. Saying goodbye was awfully hard for me, I knew I'd never see those wonderful friends again. Johnny and I left the night of July 4th by plane. At the Amer- ican Army posts they had fire- works displays that night, and so we flew over Germany. It seemed like the most appropriate time to leave. All the colors bursting in the air made it a beautiful flight. Then we flew over Brussels and London where aII you could see was a maze of pale yellow and green streetlights. We also landed in. Shannon, Ireland and New- foundland before arriving in New York and from there we flew to Seattle. This has been the most won- derful aJml educational experi- ence of my life, and I would like to go back again some day, but there's no place like home -- America.

Classified as "white collar" in tile govornment's reports ll'e pro- fcssional, technical and kindred \\;vol'kers, nlanagers, officials and proprietors, clerical workers and sales people. In the so-galled" "blue collar" gl'OUp are farnlers, service A'ol'k- OrS, factory employees and all others. Major changes in the nation's job distribution patterns have re- sulted fronl technological ad- vances, both on the farnl and in the factory, since 19t0. TilE DFPAI{TMENT of Labor describes the general trend as a long-term, rapid growth of white collar workers, a slower growth in blue collar occupations, along with a continuing rise in the skill level, a decline in employment among farmers and farm laborers and a faster-than-avertge growth among service workers. In Shelton, the nunlber of white collar jobs climbed from 390 in 1940 to a total of 489 in 1950 and to 589, estinlated, today. The 51 percent rise was sharp- er than that recorded in the Unit- ed States as a whole, 45 Itercent. Looking ahead at the effect on the nation's employment picture uf more ald mor mechanical equipment, the Labor Department sees an increase of more than 3, 000,000 blue collar workers in the next decade, with the emphasis on skilled workers. the smaller towns we traveled t h r(ng'h. 1N ]'AI{I, , we visited the Arch of Triumph and The Louvre. Then we walked through 'the NATO grounds, across the Rive}-' Seine to tile Eiffel Tower. We ate at a typ- ical sidewalk cafe before leaving for the coast. We left from ]o- logne, Franee and arrived in Dov- er, England 2 hours' later. We spent two wonderful days in London where the only bad thing was driving on the left side of the road. The Parliament buildings, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, London Bridge, the British Museum and the Tower of London will be things to renlember the rest of our lives. AFTER LEAVING London we beaded nortb to Shakespeare land and Cambridge where we saw King's College Chapel, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. We went further north ant west to Lancashire where we saw miles of stone fences built hun- dreds of years ago. In Wigan, Lan- cashire we visited with my moth- er's relatives for 3 days. While in Wigan we saw the town stocks wtfich were used hundreds of years ago to punish people for lying and other nlinor crimes. There was al- so an old alehouse in Wigan with stables behind it. Centuries ago travelers were given a chance to refresh while the horses were be- ing changed. Ve also stopped at Blackpoot (the Coney Island of Enghmd) before going home to Fuhta. The rest of the time in Germany really flew by. Before I knew it, it \\;\,as time to start packing to come home again. Saying goodbye was awfully hard for me, I knew I'd never see those wonderful friends again. Johnny and I left the night of July 4th by plane. At the Amer- ican Army posts they had fire- works displays that night, and so we flew over Germany. It seemed like the most appropriate time to leave. All the colors bursting in the air made it a beautiful flight. Then we flew over Brussels and London where aII you could see was a maze of pale yellow and green streetlights. We also landed in. Shannon, Ireland and New- foundland before arriving in New York and from there we flew to Seattle. This has been the most won- derful aJml educational experi- ence of my life, and I would like to go back again some day, but there's no place like home -- America.
