By MARGARET SCHULER
Rome - H was a shock, and
she tried her blue-eyed best;
she looked helpless, pointed
to her license plates (her car
was bought in Switzerland)
and indicated with gestures
that she "non capisco." But
to no avail; she had to pay
the money. She had parked
on a corner, (and when I
think of the times I have
stepped around corner park
ed cars!) But there was this
difference. Three big buses,
stuffed with home to lunch
passengers started moving
when her affair was settled,
and she moved out. They
could not negotiate the nar
row little street until she va
cated. That same morning I had
a bit of Italians also. In
sprightly mood I left my
apartment to go to the Labor
Bank to cash a check. Now,
cashing a check in Rome is
a serious, long, complicated
affair. But I was sure this
time there would be nothing
much to it, and I would not
let the dumb bankers flus
trate me; they surely couldn't
think of any reason not to
cash it. This check was from
the U.S. Bank in Portland
to the Labor Bank of Rome,
made out to me.
With passport In hand
(that, I had learned) I click
clacked confidently over La
bor's marble floors right
back to the correct place to
have a check cashed. A plump
little banker took my check
.nd passport, made a phone
call, which they always do
when handling my affairs, I
think to make sure I have
no record at the police de
partment. Apparently finding
all in order he then passed
the business over to an under
ling. This banker brought a
very large typewriter to the
counter where I stood, and
began to peck out where I
was born, who my father
was, and that I am a female.
Suddenly he stopped, looked
again at the passport, the
check and me. He left and I
saw him confer with two
other bankers (bankers, as po
licemen, make their decisions
in teams of three), while 1
wondered, what in the world!
When he returned, he was
serious indeed. He could not
cash my check. It was made
out to Mrs. I. E. Schuler and
my passport was Margaret
E. I sputtered that we did
that in the States - a wife
uses her husband's initials.
Well, they don't here. I then
started scrounging around in
my hand bag to prove I was
one and ,lhe same. My driver's
license was Margaret E., my
liquor license was Margaret
E., and the press card from
Eric Allen was Margaret. I
could not prove I was I. I
suggested they call the em
bassy. No, they don't do that.
By then it was lunch closing
time.
Next morning I returned -but
not so loudly - through
the marble halls with a
stack of letters and bank
statements. Fortunately the
correct lady banker at the
U.S. had addressed the en
velop, Mrs. I. E. So after
they had examined several
cancelled checks, several let
ters inside and out, there real
ly wasn't much more to it.
The big typewriter was again
put on the counter, and my
father and birth place record
ed. There was only then to
open a drawer and give me
my $50 which they did with
out further complications or
to do.
Later, I attempted to fig
ure how much that check
cashing would have cost if
bankers were paid here what
our bankers at home are paid.
There were six of them in
volved, probably ten minutes
time of each, not counting the
typing - well, they would be
the losers, not me. My time
is expendable.
The young family from
Portland who came to Rome
last September quickly ad
justed to the pattern of Eu
ropean living, took every
thing in its stride - and there
were many unprecedented
things to take - and are now
quite at home. So much so,
in fact, that when the mother
said to 12-year-old John, "But

I can't let you go down into
the city alone; I don't let you
do that even in Portland," he
replied, "Well that is differ
ent. I don't know Portland
very well; 1 do know Rome."
And a bit later we decided
he did. We were discussing a
place called "Jerry's.", a so
phisticated rendezvous for
movie people and actors,
which has good food. John,
from his corner, spoke, to our
open-mouthed astonishment,
"Yes it is good; I've been
there." It seems that the fa
ther of one of his school
friends is an Italian movie di
rector and he had taken the
boys there to lunch.
More happens to John than
to the other two children it
seems. Perhaps because he is
chubby, smiling and oozes
friendliness. Italians
like his blue-eyed blondness,
so occasionally in passing, to
show appreciation they pinch
his apple cheeks. This infuri
ates him. He can't understand
pinching being complimen
tary. His 16-year-old, pretty
blonde sister can't either, but
they don't pinch her on the
checks.
From the first early Sep
tember morning they arrived,
they have eyed every thing
with curiosity and apprecia
tion. All has not been easy
either. Some train man that
morning had put them off at
a substation no one knows
why - so that when I met
their train from Paris' they
were not on it. It was five
o'clock in the. morning, and
not knowing exactly what to
do I walked out side for a
bit. In the meantime, a taxi
man had brought them in,
and dumped them. So my
first glimpse was of them,
quite alone in the block long
waiting room, huddled in a
cluster around their luggage
while their mother went to
telephone. They weren't sure
at that stage that they would
like Rome.
They did not know it, but
that first early morning pic
ture of Rome was perhaps
the clearest they will ever
have - early morning peach
colored Rome, at is peach-colored
best; traffic at lowest
ebb, fountains sparkling in
pure sunlight, uncluttered by
fringes of cars; sounds of wa
ter splashing, unheard amid
the later din-filled hours.
They came upon the collese
um all unaware, tinged too,
with Rome's special color,
and even yet that impression
is the greatest of anything
they have seen.
Amusing, sometimes prick
ly things, happen to them.
Recently the mother drove
down into traffic snarled San
Silvestro piazza, to the post
office, and felt the day augur
ed well, as she slid her Peu
geot into a space a man was
just vacating. Returning hap
pily, half an hour later she
was curious, but not alarmed

to see three policemen wail
ing at her car. Now, Barbara
has a way with Rome police
men. She has repeatedly re
marked how "darling" they
are, as they stop traffic to
answer her questions, or ad
miringly give her right away,
and suggest she turn in the
middle of the avenue, if she
happens to be going in the
wrong direction. So she was
not alarmed when they did
not smile, and gave her a
ticket - these darling hclmet
ed officials. She only realized
they meant business when she
saw she had to pay an $8 fine.
The highest fine you can get is
an $8 one - to be paid on the
spot.
