From time to time we read that the stream of refugees
flowing from East to West Germany averages about a
thousand a week. 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." O.S. r

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.
