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

America. 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.

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."
Apple-Flavored Gelatin
The new apple-flavored gela
tin now on the market is a delic
ious bale for this refreshing
salad. Fold well-drained canned
fruit, cocktail, slivered roasted
almonds and sliced celery into
the slightly thickened gelatin
made according to package di
rections. We like a tablespoon of
vinegar added to the gelatin base
for extra zest.
