Tells of Trip
Salem Woman Docs Europe
Alone During Summer;
Experience' Thrills
Traveling alone In -Europe Is a
thrilling and pleasing experience,
with peqples, andj' especially those
In Germany genuinely kind, de
clares Miss Muriel White, Wood
burn high , school (instructor and
. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert
White of Salem, who Is just home
from;' two and one-half . months
v spent abroad. ! i
. Most of her time was spent In
Northern England, Yorkshire
VcajHity, where she has relatives,
though she spent eight days in
Germany, or strictly speaking the
Greater Germany, and shorter pe-
r riods in Italy, I France and Bel-.
, glum., - .-. ..' : I I ' . ;: I'-'-;
One of the big thrills of Miss
White's trip was '. standing not
three feet aw.lay while King
George, VI rode (past.! Ironically
; enough, that experience came in
London out of a clear sky, al-
though she 'had traveled to Paris
and spent two days there to assure.
herself a sight of the king on his
' 'visit to France. I ' In j Paris, she
thrilled at the demonstration in
honor of King George, but was
unable to Teally see the royal cou-:
pie as - they j rode j down the
thronged " streets.
Sees Kinr Unexpectedly
"Later I was crossing a street
In London, when a man in uni
form came up to me and asked
politely if I'd mind stepping back
on tl?e walk while the; king passed
by," Miss White j says, indicating
she glanced over her; shoulder
Just In time to stifle an Ameri
ca come-back ; at j a presumed
Joke. Sure enough, following the
uniformed guard; rode the king,
with hose appearance andman
ner she was greatly Impressed.
She toured third class through
Germany to net closer to the peo
ple, and instead -'iat staying in ho-
tela, stayed, in j German . homes
(three-meals; a good bed and rao
'therly, attention fall for $1.10 in
one homo). j ..'.'.
... "The German people were espe
cially friendly. They , were not at
all afraid to talk' about Hitler
They adore the ground he walks
on but are. afratd of Goering as
the man who holds the leash over
-them." Miss White felt.
f Germans Found Friendly
,; "Germans are anxious to have
the friendship of America. One of
'- the first questions they would
' ask me was 'You Americans don't
like Germany? ' j 1
'-"When I wo.uld say I felt (Am
ericans did like the German' peo
ple, they would at once become
responsive." ' i
She found that German youths,
like those in England.do not want
war but j expect to . serve their
country if necessary.. In general,
the German people with wliom 'she
t eame In contact do not want fight?
ing. The German people, seem I no"
longer to think ffor themseljvesT
. and look subdued,', " she says.
Throughout her travels ia Ger-r
many and Austria, ' she encoun
tered no other American, except
along the Rhine. Paris seemed to
1 be ; the mecca . f or Americans
j abroad.
'. Italians Less Talkative j"
! Miss White found' the. Italians
i less talkative ' than the. Germans
i. but noticeably friendly toward
Germany . and her '. people., Ger-
mans were not checked as closely
" at .the Italian border as others:
. The overwhelming ancientness
of these countries and tbe beauty
enfolded in the old impressed the
- Salem traveler. ' i. " ,
In ' England, where she spent
seven weeks, i the .mass of little
plots of , beauty enthralled her
beauty contained 1n 40r, miles as
- compared, to the expairslye beau
ties in the 3500 miles across this
country. - X--- - ' .-!'
Other major impressions ' of
England are ot the York minster,
the loneliest cathedral she siw;
the towering spire in each village:
the" pride and devotion of labor
ers to their work; the1 improve
ment fh the slum districts and ex
treme modern touch "in the' school
jystem for these children; and bf

she witnessed a "-'defense of Lon

Finale to the summer travels
