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. One should spend at
