Woman Describes Return To Home After 34 Years Mrs. Kathryn Diepenbrock, Medford music teacher, had the happy experience la?t summer of visiting her homeland. Ger many, after an absence of 34 years. Mrs. Diepenbrock, who lives at 15 Vancouver avenue, has written her reactions t the trip, a gift from her son. com menting on the scenery, changes in the cities brought by the war and restoration, and particular ly of music. Thirty-four years had passed since I had last seen Berlin or the forests, meadow and streams what a thrill to be again per mitted to enjoy all those infinite pictures which had lived on through all these years in my memory! What a breath taking experience to leave New York on the airliner at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and arrive in Frankfurt on the Main the next afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. We stopped briefly twice for refuel ing, and arrived at the Frank furt Airport in a drenching rain. This was the city of Goethe, the great German poet. Frank furt had suffered terribly from bombing attacks during the war but has been almost completely restored to its original beauty, including the Goethe Haus. The heavy rain kept the visitors from doing any sight-seeing therefore I boarded the next plane which was to take us to the Tempelhof Airport near Berlin. Little did I know that this cold rainy weather was to continue for the next seven weeks! Greeted by Coca Cola Volkswagen taxis were at the airport at Tempelhof to take us to our places of destination. The first think that reminded me of home in the U.S. was a box with Coca Cola bottles, and from a music box strains of "jazz musik" greeted me. But these were only swiftly passing experiences! I was soon to see beauty and hear beauty! Berlin is rising to a new city. You see flowers, shrubs, and trees where ever there is a chance to beaut ify the landscape. The Berliners are unique in many ways. They are always very friendly, full of good hum our and willing to help where ever help is needed. Boarding a streetcar or a bus the con ductor surely saw to it that I made the grade safely and easily. I never did have to stand up in any public conveyance: either a gentleman or a young er woman would offer me a seat and thus added a great deal to my pleasure of getting re- acquainted in my old home town. On the first Sunday which was one of the few sunny days I experienced, my sisters and I took a suburban train and went to one of the few pretty spots which are left open to the West Berliners to enjoy in the great open out of doors on Sundays. Berlin is like an island, is to a great extent bordered by East Germany (Russian control led) territory, and that makes it impossible to move around freely as it used to be possible before the war. The picture of the Brandenburger Thor will show the reader how the city has been divided into different sectors where you can continue your walk but cannot buy a thing unless you have East German money and a special permit (ausweisl which has to be endorsed by the East German government. Permit Necessary "On one of our excursions, In a formerly beautiful shopping dis trict in East Berlin, we tried to get a few little souvenirs, were anxious to have a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. had provided ourselves with East Germany Marks. When time came to pay our bill the lady said: "Have you an Ausweis?" (which means a permission to buy anything). We had none; I only had my American passport. That was not sufficient. The reason for all this is the great difference in value of the currency. West German Marks being worth four times as much as East German Marks. It's a protection for the East German Republic. West Germany is called Bundes-Staat. Picture shows how very bare that East side looks: many ruins are still visible, bombed build ings, which were formerly beau iful business houses, government buildings among them and Rus sian Embassy. Following in the same direction, (this is the form er street Unter den Linden) about ?i mile, we come to the Staats Opera, which also had been almost completely destroy ed by bombs, but is now one of the few buildings which has been completely restored to its SPECIAL SALE O FREE DRAPERY LABOR O on fall inventory until Dec. 15th ' DECORATOR'S WORKSHOP 1228 N. Riverside Phone 3-5405 former beauty. The writer was in Berlin just in time to be able to hear the last opera of the season, a Mozart opera. "Die Entfuhrung aus deui Serail." excellently presented. Only the audience was not the same as in former years. They were all music lovers, it seemed, but the festival atmosphere as in form er years was not there. Many had come in their workday clothes, men in flannel shirts, women in cotton dresses, not able to pay for anything better, but yet appreciative of what they heard and saw. Travels By Bus In a few days we were to leave for a lovely spot in the Bavarian mountains, one of the few resorts that were available at not too great a distance from Berlin. We were to travel by bus. These German busses are extremely comfortable, beauti fully finished inside and out. well lighted from above and from the sides, and the top part can be rolled back to admit light and sunshine. Nine busses left at the same time, at 7 a.m.; some carried trailers for the baggage, others carried baggage on top of the, rear end of the bus. Leaving Berlin (the Island) we had not traveled more than 15 miles, when the bus stopped, and a sign read: "You are now entering the Eastern Zone of Germany." It is not sufficient enough for foreigners to have a passport but they had to carry an Ausweis or a special permission to travel thru this Eastern part of Ger many. My special permit cost me S15 West Marks. A number of East Germany government employees came on board and took all our papers, including passports, and kept them until we had reached the West German border. I did not feel too easy during the next 3 hours, even though the young representatives of the East Ger many republic were very polite. Just before reaching the border line (we saw the city of Leipzig to our left) some of us passeng ers entered into a conversation. The driver came while we were talking, joined us in our chatting and started handing back our precious papers. Giv ing me mine, he said. "Just think, here I have a lady who holds a passport from the USA. and she speaks better German than I do." I always loved my German language. Everybody had a good laugh. The Berliners always are so funny. -Soon the moment came when we stopped and the driver let us all out for here we had come to a beautiful German meadow surrounded by forests, bathed in sunshine and beckoning us to stop. My heart was beating faster, it all re called scenes of my childhood when we spent our summer va cations in surroundings like these, in the Harz Mountains, which now also to a great ex tent are controlled by the Rus sians under the name of the East German Republic. 71st Anniversary To Be Observed By Local Group Plans to commemorate the "1st anniversary of the found ing of Daughters of Union Vet erans of the Civil War were made at the last meeting of Elta Deuel Hubbs tent here.
