Last September we hoarded the

carefree and wouderftll, but wc
,vcre anxous to get to Germany.
Our first stop before arriving ill
Ger[llany was Ireland.
Y'IIlgT IMPIlESNIONN are real-
ly lasting'ones, and'Ireland look-
ed like a story hook picture come
to life. "['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.
OUR APARTMENT consisted ot
two rooms on the second floor of

Most German ,homes are heated
with coal (it's tile most econonlic-

stove.
ELEJTR*IC APPI,IANCES are

all lhe homes I visited I saw very
few. Electric stoves seemed to be

with a place under the tub for a
fire. After tile tub has been filled
an(i the fire built, the water is
heated and tile clothes az'e cooked
and scrubhed until clean. After tim
washing is finished, clothes are
often laid on the ground to be

Fulda. a friendly and very inter-
esting city, is about the raze of
Olympia. although the population
of the area is 45.000. Some of tile
streels are straight and modern,
bill most of them are windy and
llarro\\;v. The narro\\;v sLreets are
one way, so there's no problem of
meeting anolher car. usually. Most
of the sl, reels, are cobblestone,
which is very dangerou: when wet.
There are ghoul thirteen Cath-
olic churches in t,'ulda, one o[
wllich is the oldest church in Ger-
many. It \\;\'as founded by St: B(mi-
face. the man who brought Chris-
lianity to Germany. His remains
now rest in the Abbey of Fulda
which s across the streel froul the
old ohm'oh.
St. Bonifam.e also made the fir
tree the symbol of Christ. although!
ii was a very hmg lime before tile
use of the Christnlas [rec :iS we
know it eanle ino being.
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. We only
went as far south as Paris, but
were very disappointed in France
as other people who visited thero
were. France is very poor and
dirty country. We especially no-
ticed the poor living conditions in

The })ilia collar in(,i,e;i,e was ,t6
portent.
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.

of the sl, reels, are cobblestone,
which is very dangerou: when wet.
There are ghoul thirteen Cath-
olic churches in t,'ulda, one o[
wllich is the oldest church in Ger-
many. It \\;\'as founded by St: B(mi-
face. the man who brought Chris-
lianity to Germany. His remains
now rest in the Abbey of Fulda
which s across the streel froul the
old ohm'oh.
St. Bonifam.e also made the fir
tree the symbol of Christ. although!
ii was a very hmg lime before tile
use of the Christnlas [rec :iS we
know it eanle ino being.
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. We only
went as far south as Paris, but
were very disappointed in France
as other people who visited thero
were. France is very poor and
dirty country. We especially no-
ticed the poor living conditions in

The })ilia collar in(,i,e;i,e was ,t6
portent.
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.

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.
