Medford Traveler Returns After Four Months Abroad Mrs. Eve Prentice has re turned to her home, 810 South Oakdale avenue, after spend ing the past four months tour ing many countries in Asia and in Europe. Mrs. Prentice was met in Portland by her son and daughter-in-law, Mr, and Mrs. John Prentice, Bend, Ore., who . brought her to Medford by car. She arrived in Portland from New York City, where she spent a week with friends and relatives. Mrs. Prentice had traveled from London to New York by jet plane. The traveler, who had 1 written earlier of experiences in India. reported last week that she would never forget "Egypt and a glorious sunrise on the Nile river at Cairo, the pyra mids, a boat with a tall sail like you never saw before; Athens - a white city on roll: Ing hillsides overlooking the Mediterranean and Italy, from Sorrento to Venice and Milan. It would make anyone wish he had nothing to do put paint. Any one day in Italy de serves a whole story. St. Peter's church, for Instance, and the Vatican, where I saw and heard the Pope speak to tnousands. On the trip to An- cona on the Adriatic sea where I had an invitation to visit with the Sopranis and ScandalHs of the accordion factories. They rolled out the red carpet and I had a most delightful two-day visit. They made all arrangements for my continued trip through Italy, which included Venice and MUan. "In Venice I met Raymond Lapp, a student from Gonzaga college, Spokane, Wash.: we had a grand time seeing Venice together. In Milan I met Athena Metropopulus of Klamath Falls, who Is, study ing voice in Italy. Imagine, I went to the ticket office of the La Scala Opera house at noon and asked for a ticket for that evening's perform ance of "Madame Butterfly." I was told they had been sold out for three weeks. The ex-' pression on my face must have done It. Someone finally produced one ticket. That evening I was on hand early, to be sure I didn't miss a thing. "I sat by two women from Washington who are teaching American children in a school of 600. The evening was a thrlllinp experience I shall never forget . Tours Switzerland "I was just beginning to understand a little Italian when it was time to go on to Switzerland. By the time I arrived iij Geneva, I wished I had planned my trip for a year, Instead of four months. Such an Interesting country. The Himalayas in India may be considered the most majes tic, but the. Alps are more picturesque. 1 From Switzerland I was to go to Buechenbeuren, Ger many, for a visit with my good friends, the Wllhelm Muellers. As 'arranged, I sent a tele gram stntlnw the time of my arrival in Frankfurt, where they would meet me, The telegram was sent from Zurich worded 'Arriving Carlton Ho tel 12 noon March 9.' Mr. Mueller understood the wire and drove the 80 miles from Buechenbeuren In his new 1961 Opel station wagon, with a large bouquet of pink car nations, to meet me. When he arrived at the Carlton, the desk clerk read the telegram and told Mr. Mueller I was to arrive March 12 at 9 a.m. When I arrived, at 12 o'clock, the clerk said Mr. Mueller had left only five minutes before. I phoned Mrs. Mueller at their home; she snld he would re turn for me by 5 p.m. "So, I spent the afternoon seeing the city and was back in the hotel at 5, with a big box of chocolates for my hosts. At S p.m. sharp In came a uniformed chauffeur, and between the clerk and the chauffeur, they bundled me Into that Mercedes-Benz and I was whisked off over the autobahn In the opposite di rection from Buechenbeuren. Every time I asked where were the Muellers, or where were , we going, the driver would only say, 'oul, oul, Ma dame.' He was driving like only Germans can, and when I saw signs of Heldelbure,, Stuttgart, etc., I was really excited. I still got only the oul, oul, MadRme.' We finally arrived In Mannheim, 150 miles southeast of Frankfurt; we stopped in front of an Im pressive hotel, out ran a clerk jabbering in German to the chauffeur, then turned to me, apologized and explained that the driver had picked up the wrong woman. The French woman he was to have met was still waiting In the Carl ton hotel'. The Muellers were still sitting in the Carlton waiting for Eve Prentice. PICKLES That chauffeur never said 'oui, oul' once on the return drive to Frankfurt. Tours Germany "The three weeks with the Muellers was Liie experience of a lifetime. I was given a complete briefing on the his tory, politics, geography and religion of Germany, plus in formation on music, painting, carving and the legends of the country. They took me all over the Mosel river area, in cluding Trier, which was the capital when the Romans oc cupied the territory in the years B.C. "There was a wonderful day in Bonn, where we went through the government build ings, and a trip through Beethoven 3 home. "When the Muellers learned I had not visited Austria, they insisted on driving me through that country. Any one day would provide material for a story. We learned about Rich ard Wagner in Beyreuth, visit ed Mozart's home in Salzburg and the Hofbrau house in Munich where Hitler made his first speech. Mr. Mueller said he had attended the meeting, and described details of what followed. "I believe that it is worth a trip to Europe to see the view from Painter's Corner on Koenlg See. We walked about two miles up a trail to a sheer rock cliff on one side of the lake with a waterfall of sev eral hundred feet on the other side. In a few seconds the sun set on those snow-covered Alps, creating the most vivid c 0 1 0 ring imaginable. Mr, Meuller said we had witness ed a scene which is only pos sible once or twice a year. In that area is also the famous LIndenhof castle of Ludwig II, one of the most ornate I saw. We also toured Berchtesgaden, Hitler's moun tain retreat which is now a recreation area for the Amer ican Forces in Europe. Near by is Mlttenwald, home of Augustine, a character in the famous German folk, song, and I saw the building where he made his violins. "My visit to Oberammergau was more Interesting because I - had an English speaking guide. I learned that the Pas sion Play has been given every 10 years for the past 400 years; all the cast is local and all costumes are made locally. Attendance was 500,000 last year. Ninety plays were given from May to September; each play lasts seven hours. There are 1400 -in the cast. Very impressive figures, and a very Impressive place. "I should say a word about the American servicemen in Germany. We have much to be proud of In those American boys. I saw and . talked to many in canteens, the PX, etc.; and have only the finest reports to make of them. One of the young married couples drove me to Luxembourg when I left for Paris. "I almost passed Paris and London by because many friends had told me I wouldn't like either clty-too large and not friendly. It would have been a shame if I had missed either.
