Sordptimists Hear
Thursday Speaker
Lt. Col. Harlan P. Bosworth Jr., who returned recently
from two years' overseas duty in The Netherlands with United
States army engineers, shared his experiences with members
and guests of the Soroptlmist club In one of the most interesting
meetings of the year when he addressed the group at Die Thurs
day luncheon in the Pelican party room.
The officer, who has returned here to resume his position
as resident manager of The California, Oregon Power company,
had a wealth of information to
offer the club ana nis nui
ranged from the work of the
army engineers to the beauties
of the old worm as xounu ui nw
land.
Colonel Bosworth stated that
The Netherlands Is aiviaea mio
Hlstinrt sections. North Hol
land and South Holland; that
the whole country is aoout twice
the size of Klamath county and
has approximately nine millions
of people living in that area.
About 47 per cent of the land
can be flooded and only 10 per
cent is above a 10-foot elevation.
In the south of Holland there is
a distinct Spanish influence and
a majority of the people are
brunette; in the northern part
the people show their Nordic
origin and are predominantly
blonde. In the south most of the
people speak Flemish; in the
eastern nrovlnces. German; in
th north. Fresian: and in the
remainder of the country the
people speak Dutch.
Under an agreement signed by
Queen Wilhelmina and General
Elsenhower, the Allied Military
Government took over the re
habilitation of The Netherlands,
and Colonel Bosworth .had
charge of a unit which went in
to rebuild ana repair roaas,
canals, bridees. electric and wa
ter systems, etc. He stated that
Holland suffered tne greatest
physical destruction of any of
the European countries and that
when they came into Amster
dam they found practically an
utilities had been wiped out.
The first big problem was to re
pair streets and then transpor
tation lines in order to get food
and fuel in from tne eastern
border near Germany. He stated
that the winter of 1944-1945 was
terrible on account of the lack
of these necessities of life.
The Germans had taken all
horses and livestock out of Hol
land and there is no more of
their prize stuff left. However,
the Allied unit was able to get
back several thousand horses,
and with some luck in getting
more farm - equipment from
America they may get a fair crop
this year, but there is a serious
lack of seed for crops, as well as
equipment.
Colonel Bosworth very gra
ciously answered many Ques
tions that were put to him by
his audience after his talk. He
stated that the fishing industry
was practically destroyed, part
ly due to destruction of fishing
fleets, but more particularly be
cause of the destruction of all
storage plants required to take
care of the catch; that the canals
are frozen over about six weeks
in the winter and ice gets about
two feet thick, but that the low
est temperature is 12 to 15 de
grees above zero.
School books when the Allied
Government took over were all
German, and had to be replaced,
but that practically the only
buildings intact or habitable
were the schools and a great
many of them had to be used as
billets and schools suspended.
He stated that the churches that
were left standing were very
beautiful. In the south they were
more ornate and distinctly Span
ish in architecture, while in
North -Holland they were quite
plain and the people mostly
protestant in faith.
" Olive Mason, chairman for the
day expressed the appreciation
of the club to Colonel Bosworth
for his splendid talk, and Presi
dent Kathleen Thomrason added
her thanks and said she sincere
ly hopes we might be privileged
to have another account of his
experiences in the near future.
Guests of the club were Mrs.
Lloyd J. Goble, Mrs. Neal Stew
art, Mrs. Roy Carter, Mrs. A. D.
Lambert, Mrs. George Wardell,
Luana Smith and Phyllis Smith.
