Pace Two THE CLINTON CHRONICLE MY TRIP TO EUROPE By CORNELIA HARRIS Germany is one country that has made a terrific recovery since the war, with a great deal in store for the American tourist. We visit ed Munich, (Frankfurt, Heidelburg, Cologne, Bad Schwatbach, Frei burg, some more heavily bombed than others. Cologne was about 90 per rent bombed during the war and is a very industrial city. While there, we visited the Cathedral, about 1,100 years old, a part of which is still unused from war time. Our hotel was very new and modern, only it was right across from the railroad station where reconstruc tion was taking place, so cement mixers noisily aroused us in the morning. At Coblenz we boarded the Rhine steamer which lasted for four hours, having lunch on board. After gazing at castles for so long it grew rather monotonous bpl all were beautiful sights, in cluding large grape orchards, up the hillsides along the way. While at Frankfurt, 1 was able to see two former Clinton resi dents, Mrs. Hank Cronic and Mrs. Rpbert Berm, daughter of Dr. L. Ross Lynn, president of the or phanage for 25 years. Both were very nice and took me to several officer’s clubs for meals in the same day. Oh to see so many Americans! Heidelburg was an interesting city and especially the old "Red Ox” Inn, where we were served I a typical German meal of wieners and sauer-kraut, not as strong as ours. Many students of the uni- \-ersity have dined there and dec orations were very attractive around the rooms. The student’s prison at the university dated back from 1712 and all rooms were dec orated by many drawings done by |he prisoners, who spent from three to five days there for crimes committed. Germany’s Rhine Falls were about 6,000 years old and not as high as Niagara but very magnifi cent. Munich, the country’s third largest city, was 40 per bent de stroyed during the war, and the site of the King’s Square, where many parades were staged during Hitler’s reign. The Nymphenburg Palace, modeled after Versailles, contained lovely Flemish tapes tries and much gold everywhere. Colored figures on the balcony at city hall comprise the Glocken spiel, who come out each morning at 11 o’clock to perform, doing various dances, dating back to 1618. A rooster crows at the end, and the whole procedure is watch ed toy thousands every morning, being the main tourist attraction to Munich. Germany was one of my favor ite countries and very much simi lar to own own USA. Most Ger mans speak English, although one on our tour, Virginia Gausewitz, spoke German fluently, which came in handy when English was not spoken. The fact is true in all countries, however, that one can be understood in any language when wanting to buy something. •<Life” magazine had an interest ing article in the current issue about the beer festival in Munich and showed pictures of the typi cal Germans. Many army and air force camps are centered around Frankfurt and other points and most families choose Germany in regard to liv ing conditions, about all others. It was a picturesque sight to see at the Rhein Main base near there herds of sheep grazing on the grass at the air bases, being watch ed toy shepherds and watch-dogs. Austria is situated next to Ger many and a very picturesque country, although not very large. Salzburg was very historical and one could spend several weeks there as there was much to see. We also visited Innsbrook for one night, and marveled at the beauty of the Austrian Lake District, far superior over the other countries. Our guide in Salzburg was very good and dressed in a peasant style like typical Austrians. We did not go to Vienna, which was very fortunate, as trouble was brewing there all sOrjimer. The opera house was recently re opened there and ten million dol lars spent on rebuilding. Next week I will continue on Austria, including also Switzer land, Belgium and Holland, which will conclude these articles on my European tour this summer. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sin cere appreciation for the many kindnesses shown during the ill ness and passing of our wife and mother. We also thank the doc tors and nurses at Hays hospital for their care. H. L.
