Since that seems to be a lot of refugees, we've wondered if the number wasn't exaggerated. Last week we met and talked through an interpreter with Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Josellis, who arrived in Medford not long ago to make a new home. This German couple formerly lived in Magdeburg, East Germany and came to the United States and Oregon by way of Berlin and Hamburg, West Germany. We asked Mr. Josellis if the 1,000 refugees a week was too high a figure and he answered no. "If anything, it is too small," he said. Mr. and Mrs. Josellis left their home in East Germany as many others dn they went on what was apparently a a routine visit into West Germany and then just stayed. To avoid suspicion, Mrs. Josellis carried nothing but her purse, and her husband a briefcase. Their possessions were loft behind. The newcomers made little comment about political conditions in East Germany, but said they were dissatisfied with living conditions. Prices are very high, they report, and wages low in comparison. Mr. Josellis said an ordinary suit for a man costs the equivalent of about $300. He worked as an auto mechanic, and his wife was employed by the post office driving an automobile. When Photographer Robert Vroman asked Mr. Josellis if he was trained to work on German Volkswagens, the newcomer replied that he had been trained on many types of motors, that German mechanics do not specialize as they do in this country. The newly arrived couple is living with Mrs. Josellis brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Heinz Bertram, 1208 Sunset avenue. The Bertrams also came to America from East Germany, and the parents of the two women still live there. Asked if they feared for their welfare or safety, they an swered in the negative. The first task ahead of the newcomers is to learn English Mr. Josellis has some command of the language; he under stood the questions put by Potpourri and Mr. Vroman, but answered in German and his sister-in-law served as in terpreter. Nobody really knows who started St. Valentine's day, says an article which came lo our desk last week. The release went on to say that the day has no real connection with St. Valentine, in a religious sense, yet is celebrated on his feast day. Some say the day can be traced back to an ancient Roman festival dedicated to Lupercus, the god in charge of "keeping the wolf from the door." As the feast of Lupercalia, young people drew game partners for the coming year, and this may have started the whole idea of a day devoted to selecting a mate. St. Valentine was a young Roman priest who was be headed on February 14, 270 A.D. because he refused to renounce Christianity, we have read. Somehow, we wonder how in the world St. Valentine, the god Lupercus, "wolves and partnergamcs were all mixed up together throughout the, years and resulted in the way St. Valentine's day is celebrated in the United States now. The Stephen Nyes toured the Hawaiian islands this month but their tour was somewhat different. ' They joined one organized by the California Farm Bureau and in addition to seeing the famous beaches, hula dancers and big hotels, they toured farms and ranches. Many of the farmers of Hawaii are Japanese or other Oriental stock and the luncheons which Farm Bureau women provided for the visitors often featured suki yaki and other Oriental dishes. Mrs. Nye said she was impressed with the hospitality and friendliness of their hosts at the Farm Bureau functions. "Thev all seemed to be well educated," she said, and added, somewhat ruefully, "Many of them spoke better English than the visitors did."

Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Josellis arrived here recently from Germany, having made their way from Magdeburg, East Germany, into Berlin, and later to Hamburg. They are at the home of Mrs, Josellis' brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Heinz Bertram, 1298 Sunset avenue. They were sponsor ed for emigration to the United Slates by the Bertrams, who, themselves, came from Magdeburg and have been in this country seven years. Mr. Josellis is a trained auto mechanic but is anxious lor any kind of work. The Bertrams operate Lindonpark Upholstery, 917 West McAndrews road. The trip from Magdeburg into Berlin was made without baggage to avoid suspicion.
