Impressions of Germany Reviewed

Greetings from a "Hamburg
er." At least, that I what I'm
called since the town I'm spend
ing the summer in is a few miles
from the seaport of Hamburg.
This summer, I'm living with a
family In the town of Molln, the
trip having been possible
through the American Field
Summer Exchange student pro
gram. Molln is a very old town,
around 1.000 years, and is quite
enchanting to one who has lived
in a city which is relatively new.
Here, the streets are mostly cob
blestones, and the houses of red
brick with orange-red tile roofs
make a very beautiful picture.
In addition, lakes almost com
pletely surround the town, and
forests are abundant. Molln is
famous as the town of Till Eul
cnspiegel, a man who in the
early years of German history
was known throughout the land
, for his witty sayings. Every
five years they have a festival
commemorating him, and this
year I am lucky enough to be
able to see It, starting in Aug
ust. Modern Automobiles
I don't mean to give the pic
ture that everything is quaint
here, for while there are still a
few horse drawn produce carts
in the streets, modern automo
biles such as Mercedes. Ford and
Volkswagen are crowding the
streets. Coca-Cola signs are vis
ible, and on any radio station,
the latest American hit tunes are
always playing.
I am living with a very won
derful family, the Rohwedder's.
Doctor Rohwedder is the head
gynecologist at the great new
Hamburg - Bergederf hospital.
The family has a very modern
house which was built in 1950.
Before and during the war,
Prau (Mrs.) Rohwedder was liv
ing in what is now Mecklenburg,
in East Germany while Dr. Roh
wedder served in the German
Medical Corps. She abandoned
her home and fled to Molln with
her four children only one day
before the Russians came and
stopped all refugees.

Their activities- and interests
are very similar to those of my
own family and I find it not too
hard to adopt, outside of learn
ing their language. Fortunately,
they all speak English, and I
have no trouble in making my
self understood.
Most things here are very sim
ilar to American life, but as the
differences are the most remem
bered, I should like to share
some of the interesting ones
with you. Probably the first in
cident which told a lot to me was
our train ride across Holland
from Rotterdam, the debarka
tion point of our Atlantic cross
ing. We had quite good and fast
passenger train services and
were all commenting on it when
the train suddenly stopped in
the middle of a farming area.
We' watched as our engineer
calmly got down out of the cab
and walked to a group of farm
people working in the field. He
talked with them for a moment,
and after agreeing on a price,
took out his wallet, paid the far
mers for three quarts of straw
berries, and we resumed our
journey.
It seems that Europeans, un
like many Americans, have time
to enjoy all the little things in
stead of being in such a hurry
that nothing is done.
Another Ihing I noticed about
Holland was that the people are
very friendly, neat and efficient.
The people, especially the work
ing men consume many pints of
milk each day as contrasted to
the soft drinks and coffee we
Americans like. All of the farms
here look very efficient. All the
land was used in one way or an
other for growing food or crops.
even to the very edge of the rail
road. The farms in Germany, al
so, are the same.
Something lo Be Desired
German driving leaves some
thing to be desired. While the
Autobahn is the most modern
highway in Europe, many vil
lage and country roads are quite
out of date and dangerous. Add
to this the thousands of bicycles
and motorcycles and the absence
of any speed limit whatsoever,
and driving can be quite hazard
ous. The people usually drive
quite fast and while in the towns
the speed is limited to about 35
miles per hour, this is fast con
sidering the narrow and wind
ing streets. If a person is so un
lucky as to be caught by police
for speeding in a town, his fine
is only about 2 deutsch marks
($.50).
Germany today Is quite recov
ered from the war, although
bomb damage is still in evi
dence. The nation is quite
crowded as it is only the size of
Oregon, but has 32 times the
population of our state.
America is looked up to, al
though we are often misrepre
sented by the movies which
come to Europe. Most Germans
think American teen-agers are
like those in James Dean's "Reb
el Without a Cause" and nearly
all believe our schools to be like
the one in "Blackboard Jungle."
From my limited experience
here, I think the best ambassa
dors America could have here
would be Dave Brubeck and
Louis Armstrong. They are ab
solutely wild about American
Jazz. In future weeks, I hope to
tell more of this country and its
leaders. i

Hollywood an Walt
Disney's two TV offerings have
featured youngsters and cute
animals, but
this fall he'll
launch a third
show with
sex appeal.
Disney has
been known
as the man
who put the
ABC - TV net
work on the
Aline Mosby map with his
"Disneyland" followed by "The
Mickey Mouse Club." He also
is the only movie producer who
has yet to have a TV failure.
Now the unpredictable Disney
will present what he hopes will
be his third blockbuster on the
home screens, a suave, mustach
ed, sword-tossing actor named
Guy Williams.
Williams will star in a weekly
series, "Zorro," recreating a role
first imfhortalized in the movies
by bounding Douglas Fairbanks
Sr., and later by matinee idol
Tyrone Power. The new show is
taken from the classic novels
and short stories about the leg
endary hero of Southern Cali
fornia's Spanish rancho days.
Williams Excited
With Disney's record for suc
cess, Groucho Marx on NBC and
Bob Cummings on CBS may be
in for a touch rating fight when
"Zorro'' is shown Thursday
nights at 8 p.m. across the coun
try, beginning Oct. 10. Six-foot,
three-inch Williams admits he's
"excited" about the prospect.
Williams was a photographer's
model and TV and stage actor
in New York before tackling
Hollywood. Here he spent one
year doing 25 "doorway bits"
while under contract to Universal-International.
Finally he quit in disgust, and
his agent suggested he join the
hordes of actors trying for the
"Zorro" lead at Disney studio.
Disney thinks "Zorro" will ap
peal to grown-ups particularly
women fond of mustaches as
well as children. Williams
plays a dual role. Like Fair
banks and Powers, he appears
as a Spanish don but also as a
mysterous night masked rider
wearing a black cape and astride
a black horse. Tornado.
Speechless Horse
"The horse has no lines," Wil
liams says gratefully.
Disney will begin another ad
venture series this fall as part
of his "Disneyland' Show. In
the manner of the Davy Crockett
series, Jerome Courtland will
star in a six-part story, "The
Saga of Andy Burnett," based
on historical novels about young
frontiersmen in the West.
"The Mickey Mouse Club," has
been cut this season to a half
hour, but "Disneyland" goes into
its fourth year still with the
hour format.
This year's "Disneyland" will
include a third film on the U.S.
expedition to the South Pole,
another science-factual picture
about an atomic rocket trip to
Mars, and "Man's Best Friend"
tracing the history of dogs.
Suit Filed To Break
Natural Gas Merger
Washington npi The Justice
Department announced Monday
it has filed suit to break up the
recent merger of El Paso, Tex.,
Natural Gas Company and the
Pacific Northwest Pipeline
Corp., Salt Lake City.
The department said it has
filed a complaint in the U.S. Dis
trict Court for Utah on grounds
that acquisition of Pacific North
west by El Paso "may substan
tially lessen competition or tend
to create a monopoly" in viola
tion of the anti-merger section of
the Clayton anti-trust act.
Assistant Attorney General
Victor R. Hansen, head of the
Anti-Trust Division, said that
as a result of the merger "pro
ducers and consumers within the
vast area bounded by Canada
and Mexico, the Rocky Moun
tains and the Pacific Ocean, are
now almost entirely dependent
on one company for purchase
and sale of natural gas."
Hollywood (IP Spike Jones
wants four pints to make a quar
tet a real pint-sized quartet.
He wants jockeys Willie Shoe
maker, Eddie Arcaro, Johnny
Longden and George Taniguchi
to sing on his TV show. They re

ner for the Jockeys' Guild,
which would receive any funds
earned from appearing on band

New York (IB Americans,
28 million of them according to
one estimate, this summar are
fleeing from week end high
way jams to crowd the nation's
waterways.
Yacht club, power squadrons,
Coast Guardsmen and boat build
ers report the number of boats
has nearly tripled since World
War II.
A spokesman for the National
Association of Engine and Boat
Manufacturers estimated that
there are 6V2 million pleasure
boats in the United States today
Only 2'4 million were estimated
to have been in operation in
1947.
A Congressional Committee on
Recreational Boating Safety
said estimates of the number of
Americans who annually go
down to the sea or lake In
small boats reach 28 million
But the NAEBM men said he
would put the figure at around
17 million
The NAEBM spokesman said
the fast that 4V4 million out
board motors have been pro
duced since 1945 is indicative
of the multiplying number of
boats mostly small boats.
Although he could quote some
figures as to the present num
ber of boats, the NAEBM spokes
man said there are few com
parative statistics to show the
terrific growth in boating because:
Only larger boats are re
quired to register either with
the Coast Guard or the customs
bureau.
No central agency has kept
track of the number of boats
being built in hundreds of small
shipyards
He- did point out that there
were 434,000 more small boats
afloat last year than the year

before. Although this year's in
crease has not been tabulated,
it is generally believed to be at
least as large.
Among the relatively new
problems created by the rising
are: Waits for a turn to navigate
small channels, difficulties in
sailing through crowded protect
ed waters and waiting lists of
applicants for yacht club moor
ings. And the boating fad no longer
is restricted to the seaboard,
major lakes and rivers.
In his report to the House
committee on merchant marine
and fisheries. Rep. Herbert C.
Bonner (D-N.C), chairman of
the sub-committee on recreation
al boating safety, referred to
hundreds of new reservoirs.
He said that they are provid
ing an "immense" recreation po
tential "in regions which have
been in the past virtual water
sports deserts."
Bonner concluded that boat
ing in the United States had
become a "booming activitiy."
Some yachtsmen are already
calling it "the new national pastime."
A traveling salesman was Harry G. Blowe,
Who could sell ice cubes to an eskimo,
But he fell for a line slicker than his,
From a new car salesman-wow! what a whiz!
The car had style-years out of date, .
The features were new-back in '48!
Harry's still smiling, the tears hardly show,
But how he wishes he could get back his dough!
Moral: Don't get "bargain-talked" into
yesterday's styling and features!
Like a lot of people, Harry was looking for a "good buy" in a new car. But no
car is a bargain if it's outmoded before you drive it a mile. For the same money,
Harry could have stepped up to a dashing Swept-Wing Dodge so new it
actually obsoletes other cars in its field. Obsoletes their high, boxy design with
the low, low look of tomorrow. Obsoletes their old-fashioned features with such
advances as Torsion-Aire Ride, Push-Button TorqueFlite and Total-Contact
Brakes. So don't do what Harry did please. See your Dodge dealer today.
Join the swing to the Swept-Wing Dodge!
