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.
