Klamath Girl Writes Of Germany By JOY ROLPH To a former Klamath Falls' girl, nazi Germany and the war have meanf years of privation, heartbreak and suffering her husband dying from effects of a concentration camp, and the gestapo watching every move she made. Bit by bit, friends and relatives have learned of the crush ing experiences undergone by Mrs. Marcel Melliand, the former Lydia von Berthelsdorf, during the seven years that she was practically cut off from communication with her family, except for an occasional letter smuggled out of Germany during tha fore part of this period. On September 26, 1942, Mel liand, owner of a large publish ing firm in Heidelberg, was seized by the gestapo at his home there and was held until January 27, 1943, when he re turned home, ill and broken. He died on October 10, 1943, from effects of treatment in a concentration camp. Dark days followed for Mrs. Melliand and her young son, Dessert Bridge Mrs. Lon Hunt, who leaves with her young daughter Carol Sue for Sutherlin to make her home, was honored with a des sert bridge Tuesday evening when Mrs. Percy Webb enter tained at her home, 1S79 Del Mora.

Cor nett, with a formal ball. The armory will be decorated lor tne dance at which all newly- elected officers of Hillah will be feted.- Many from the surround ing towns are expected to at tend. Dancing Thrills Theatre Goers As colorful as anything to come off an artist's paint brush, was the presentation of Rosario and Antonio and their company of Spanish dancers who delighted members of the Community Concert association Tuesday night at the Pelican. This was the second of & series of winter concerts. Young, fiery and exciting, the troupe went through classical SDanish dances, mixed their oroeram with humor nnd eaietv. and their dash was only equaled by the lovely colorful costumes which they wore in number after number as the evening pro gressed, i nis season marked the troupe s first transcontinental tour. As good as the two top art ists, Rosario and Antonio, were several of the company. The Sacromcate dunce by Miss Ruiz, in which she interpreted the gypsy dance from the caves of Granada, proved to be a favor, ite as did the Bolero,, an 18th century Andalusian dance showing the ballet influence and executed by Miss Iberia. The little Ropez was especially fine in the dancing which she did during the "Three Cornered Hat" number which was the swirling finale of the evening. Children sitting in our sec tion were swept away by the costumes, but as gay as they were they seemed to vote the Spanish classic dance by Ros ario and Antonio in which they appeared in lovely pure white and spangles, as their favorite. The two accompanying art ists, Mr. Masciarelli who pre sented several piano' solos, and Mr. Villarino. guitar soloist, added just the right touch to a well rounded program which was vastly different from a solid evening of piano, vocal or instrumental. now six years old. They re mained - at Heidelberg where she was called "that foreign woman and the spoilt Ameri can," barely able to get enough food, beset by business diffi culties and worries. She was spared her home. even though the house shook and quaked day and night dur ing . the terrific bombardment of Mannheim,. 20 kilometers away. "But," she writes, "the gestapo prowling around, watch ing every step I made, was far worse than anything. I felt as sick as" Mannheim looked." Numerous personal belongings and expensive furnishings were taken from her home, and she is endeavoring to recover them. Following her husband's ar rest, Mrs. Melliand said she dared not even speak a word of English to her little son and, as a result, he soon forgot the few words he did know. It was on Good Friday in 1945 that things began to look a bit brighter when Lydia Mel liand stood "in the castle on the hill" and, with tears stream ing down her face, watched American soldiers crossing the river into Heidelberg. On that day she heard the first English words spoken since 1939. . She remarks on the many kindnesses from the officers and soldiers when they found' her, an American woman, in Heidelberg. "Kindness .was something you seldom found here in Germany. People had suffered too much terror, star vation and heavy bombardment to have any kindness left in their hearts." Since American troops Have been quartered in that city, Mrs. Melliand, who is an ac complished musician, has been organizing programs for them and is in charge of entertain ment at three of the enlisted men's clubs. It was at one such entertainment given af her home last summer that she met Capt. Ralph McCulloch, also of Klamath Falls. Although they had not known each other here, they had many mutual acquain tances. Ten persons besides herself and son have been living in the Melliand home, because all housing had to be shared with refugees from the bombarded cities. Among these are an opera singer and a harpist who is rated as one of the finest in Germany. After the defeat of Germany, numerous packages were sent to Mrs. Melliand by her family and friends,, until banned by a change in shipping regulations. She describes the candies, American cheese, jello, coffee and other foods received as "out of this world," - and said that they hadn't even seen candy for six years. But, while the food situation has been a trifle better, her . household is' weathering out this winter without coal or fuel. Among the latest news re ceived, Mrs. Melliand mentions playing the pipe organ Deiore 2000 American soldiers at a memorial service held for Gen eral George S. Patton on De-, cember 21, and that on the pre ceding day she had the privi lege of visiting with Mrs. Pat ton and General Keyes and of! playing' for them. Mm. Melliand is planning a trip home as soon as conditions in Germany warrant her leav ing and travel accommodations become normal. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. von Berthels dorf, reside iii the Swan Lake section. ', :
