Truman Might Join Rose Festival Parade Portland (U.R) Ex-President Harry Truman might be a member of the Rose Festival Pa rade here June 11, according to Milton W. Rice, association presi dent. Rice said the only problems facing Truman's participation were that he didn't know just what time Truman planned to visit Portland that day or whe ther or not the former president would agree to join the parade. There are six national histor ical parks in the national park system of the United States. Travelers Tell of Rhine Trip; Visit Black Forest, Switzerland letter written to the Mail Tribune by Melvin A. Krows. 1215 K.st Main St., while on a tour of England and Eu rope. This letter, written April 30. was tent (rom Lucerne. Switzerland.) Another letter to let you know how we are progressing with our tour. After arriving .in Lon don we spent six days there touring the city on conducted tours but we seemed to enjoy "exploring" on our own. The bombing of the war must have been terrific. Much rebuilding but a great deal not restored. We saw one excavation for a new building that exposed Old Roman buildings, these were about 14 feet below the present city levels. After London we had a pri vate bus to Oxford, visiting the old university and then on to Stratford on Avon for the night in an old monastery (12th cen tury) now a fine tourist hotel or inn. That night we attended the Shakespeare theater for "Twelfth Night." Theater New The theater is comparatively new, seating two to three thou sand. En appearance outside it is strictly modern. The acting, lighting, scenery were in our estimation, "tops." This being the Queen's birthday there was a large attendance. We left Eng land via Canterbury and Dover to Ostende, all badly bombed. Spent night and day in Brussels and then by rail to Amsterdam for two days, visiting Volendam and Marken. The bulb season was late this year but there were plenty in bloom to satisfy "anyone. After leaving England, hotels and food improved, in fact so much so that we felt life was worth liv ing. In all respects to the Eng lish, they are frousy and poor housekeepers. Some of the hotel rooms never had heat nor were they aired out. On the continent came the feather beds, down comforters and pillows, and things were clean and not musty smelling. Fine Cities Bonn and Cologne were fine cities, terribly bombed. Coblenz us(Hrs have never laid an unsatisfactory room of Carpet in the three years they have been in business! was bombed by 30 planes and in 10 minutes, 40,000 persons were killed and 50 per cent of the city destroyed. We spent two days in Heidel berg with its university of the 1200s. At Coblenz we boarded a Rhine tourist steamer and as cended the Rhine river to Bin gen. This section of the river passes through the mountains with many old castles on the peaks and the slopes of the hills terraced and devoted to grapes for wine. The river traffic is ter rific, deisel barges and some towed tandem. Average load 300 to 1500 tons. All going night and day from the sea coast to all of the interior of Germany and to Switzerland. At times one can see 35 or 40 all under way. To Heidelberg Yesterday we went by rail from Heidelberg to Frieberg where we boarded a super bus (glass top and open) through the black forest over a route in use for nearly 2,000 years. The for ests are all well cared for and the old towns, farms along the way date back 1,400 years. We arrived in Lucerne last night and our hotel is right on the lake and boulevard with our room with balcony overlooking the city and lake with the glacial mountains in the background. At Matlerhorn Tomorrow to Germatt at the foot of the Matterhorn for two days. There are 12 in our party with a tour conductor who speaks seven ' languages and handles all matters pertaining to the tour. Everything is t pro vided, even tips. Even then it is strenuous at times. Our baggage is in our rooms wKen we arrive and is transferred without any effort on our part. We are sure that for an indi vidual to go to so many places with side trips, making our own reservations, would take longer and cost much more than an all expense conducted tour. Of course there has to be a moral. Our sincere wish is that more municipal officials and the pub lic at large could visit the con tinent. Cleanliness, law abiding, efficient traffic conditions, no auto horns, no teenage hot rotS ders, no shacks, etc., etc. No, I would not choose to live here. 0D(c5eily Summer Separates!
