o 0 0 0 0 TWO MEDrORD (OREGON) j Medford Travelers Visit With oTwenty-Three German Families A Medford family returned home last week with the story of the harvest of gratitude and good will which resulted from a per gonal project in international friendship. The George Flanagans. Mr and Mrs. Flanagan and their q three sons, George, Charles and John, returned home after seven q weeks in Europe and reported Othat they visited 23 German fam ilies. All had been aided by the Flanagans during the past six ears, not only witn lood ana clothing sent by way of CARE, but with letter of friendship and encouragement from Mrs. Flana gan. Mrs. Flanagan said yesterday that they had been more than repaid for the time, money and effort expended by the genuine expressions of gratitude and friendliness expressed by the Germany families. "Several of the women burst into tears at the sight of us and would say, over and over, "Oh Frau Flana gan, you helped us when we o reeded help so much." Mrs. O Flanagan said she believed that C3 her letters had actually been of more help to the families, strug gling to rehabilitate themselves after the devastation of war, than had the food and clothing since they had assured the Ger mans that Americans were inter ested in their welfare. The 23 families all live in the vicinity of Bremen, and the Flanagans were helped by one German woman who accompan- O fed them on a tour of the district G and acted as interpreter during the calls on their German friends. The Flanagans rented a Volkswagen bus for the German tour. In Meppen, a town of about Gl 2,000 population, Mrs. Flanagan was interviewed over the radio and was pleased that her brief study of German before she left here had made it possible for her to greet her audience with a few Gwords in that language. Pictures Q of the Flanagan family, one tak en from a Christmas car which they had sent to German friends, and one nf Mrs. Flanagan taken Gwith the German announcer and one of the families, appeared in the Meppen Tagesport. The Medford woman said her interviewer on the radio pro gram wanted to know why the Flanagans had taken the trouble to visit all 23 families and she had replied "Because they are my friends." She also told her German audience that she liked the Germans because they have the "same respect for hard work" that the Americans do, and because the Germans are trying to forget their animosities and are "looking ahead to a new day." The Flanagans took along slides of their home, church and scenes in Oregon to show the German families. In one town the Flanagans were greatly entertained by the presentation of a playlet written and produced by four German teenage girls in English as a compliment to the visitors from Tht Fintst Buses!

The genuine humor of the script, coupled with the amusing mistakes caused by the writers' small knowledge of Eng lish, resulted in a production which "we loved" Mrs. Flana gan reported. The Germans the Flanagans spoke with all were enthusiastic in their praise of President Eis enhower, she said, and expressed the hope that he would be re elected. The travelers visited several countries both in the British Isles and on the continent by plane, train and motor and flew home from Lisbon, Portugal. Dance Teacher Home From Trip Mrs. Mildred Aldrich, Jackson ville highway, has returned home after spending the past three months traveling in Europe.

The two travelers were in 21 countries of Great Britain and on the continent. In addition to seeing the usual points of inter est, the two teachers visited at schools of dance and attending dance productions whenever pos sible.

Open Wednesdays Until 9 The Many Women Own Chinchillas But Coats From Fur Scarce Bt ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) More wom en own Chinchillas on the hoof than possess the fur coat of the same name. No other precious fur bearing animal can claim that distinction. A mink would never make out as a household companion, for instance. Nice and soft as he looks in a coat, the mink is pretty disagreeable in person. But the Chinchilla's good dis position and tidy habits are writing a new chapter in the unique development of a fashion built on snob appeal. Neighborly Now A generation ago only a half a dozen women ' in the entire world owned coats of pearly grey Chinchilla fur. A full length coat was worth around $80,000. Now scores of housewives have Chinchillas in the base ment, or the garage, or the spare bedroom. The world's most prec ious fur suddenly has threat ened to develop a neighborly, homegrown personality. It would seem, at first glance, that the resourcefulness of American women might trans form Chinchilla into an every day fashion practically anybody could afford or grow. But there's a catch. "Most people when they first think about Chinchillas make the big mistake of thinking about fur coats," said Leonard Richman, an executive of a New Jersey Chinchilla ranch. "About 85 per cent of our breeders are women, usually i housewives looking for extra in come," Richman continued. "But we tell them to remember they will be breeding Chinchillas to sell to other breeders or ranches not for a fur coat." A customer writes or stops by a ranch like Richman's and picks out a pair of Chinchillas for a hefty price top quality, S1200 . a pair, and then takes them home to await the first off spring. Prices vary widely for the animals or the pelts, depend ing on quality. S.ince it. takes 168 skins to make a full length coat, dealers in pelts obviously work with large ranches and not individ of P. M. ONLY Burelson's in uals with two or three Chin chillas to sell. The most likely result of this female ingenuity will be a slight boost in the overall Chinchilla supply, which means that breed ers can work faster developing better strains and perhaps even new colors. A spokesman for the Chin chilla fur industry admitted that this unprecedented interest among amateurs in raising fur coat bearing animals was not making any drastic changes in the industry's plans. "There were 126 Chinchilla wraps sold in one 12 month pe riod recently," the spokesman said. "And I know of only two full length coats in that group. They sell for $40,000 now."
