We packed | the car in the rain and drove| into Munich, where we spent the} city that even boasted a Wool-; worth’s store. I bought myself | a charm for my bracelet and it is a cute beer stein with a moveable top. As the rain con- tinued to fall all day we unani- mously decided that we would spend the night in the Munich hostel rather than attempt to put up a wet tent. The hostel is really big and holds 500 kids. We were lucky to get in as the German schools began their symmer vacation the previous day and the place was full of school kids who were hitch-hiking and riding bikes over Germany for the summer. It was a beehive of activity with the common room full of people singing and rushing everywhere. Of all the people in the hostel there were no more than six who spoke English. After checking in we proceeded to the ner for 25 cents, Our meal con- ga of soup, one German heaps of potatoes and a cup of milk. When we arrived at the hostel we met Les, who we came across on the boat with. it was a grand re- union. sausage, VISIT BEER HOUSE Atter supper, Alan, Les, his iriend Ian, Janet and I went to a beer house. We had a lot of fun, We also had two you English nurses sitting with us. The beer houses over here are really nice, they have a casual atmosphere. The interiors are usually in dark wood and the tables are an assortment of sizes. They aren't loud, brawly place: but people just sit over a stein of beer and talk and even play really quite a chara though he spoke no he talked on and on to us, As parting gift he gave Janet and Ia chocolate bar, We were only able to stay an hour as we had to be back in the hostel by ten o'clock. Before we left for our night out, Marg and Jeanette said they would put our over- night bags in our lockers so that we wouldn't have to waste time. When we arrived back we had to run up to the third floor, ask where the lock were and then run all the way down into the basement. We hadn't listened to the directions properly so we couldn't find the lockers and Janet had to tear back upstairs for more di tions while I continued the search.

Sylvia Baker’s Letter Home Travellers see many castles in Germany Guldn't take to the road for a couple of weeks each summer, do a little camping and see part of Canada and the States. The mofe fortunate ones ride bikes and they all look sturdy and healthy. I am not nearly so narrow minded about Europeans since I have done a little travel- ling myself. I had some really funny ideas as to how I thought people over here should be li ing, I was under the impression that Europe was a “has been” and that North America was the place. How wrong I was, ithe people here have the old and the new together and very few people speak only one language. When I get home I will look at new Canadians in a different light. with our sleeping bags and dried a bit at a time. OFF COURSE Yesterday I was chief naviga- tor for Alan and I really goofed. I missed a turn-off and we drove 70 kilometers off our course. I was the only one who knew we were on the wrong road so I didn’t tell the other kids until we were nearly back on the right road. However, everyone agreed it was a nice trip. We passed through Frieburg, but I have been really surprised |didn’t stay too long.

AMERICAN RADIO STATIONS We spent most of the day poking around Stuttgart, which is another very: modern city. Reason for wasting time is be- cause we want to take a tour of the Zeiss Ikon factory More news tomorrow. The factory isn't open to visitors so we are out of luck. Remember a few years ago we used to listen to Lux Radio theatre? Well last night we girls sat up in the car and listened to King Solomon’s Mines while the boys were off walking, and we thoroughly en- joyed it and are looking for- ward to next week’s play. Since our arrival in Germany. we have been able to tune into American radio stations that are operated by the armed forces over here. I forgot to mention that from Frieburg to Stuttgart we drove through the Black Forest area. It is a vast woodland and it is in this area that people dress in their traditional costumes and the outsides of the houses are painted with scenes. Today Janet and I bought a tin of yellow cling peaches. We are going to eat them before we go to bed tonight so I am wishing the next two hours away.” We also purchased a tin of instant coffee. Wait till you hear what it cost us, 250 grams (about a half pound) for $5. It must be flavored with gold. DISAPPOINTED After a visit to Dinkelsbuhl we followed the neckar River into Heidelburg and passed 38 castles on the way and we by mo means saw all the castles. Heidelburg was a great dis- appointment to me, it wasn’t at all the quaint town I had visualized. It is now an Americanized place with little of the old atmosphere left. How- ever, it does have a lovely set- ting on the banks of the Neckar River. We spent the day brows- ing through the streets and I bought a few gifts. To date most of Germany has been agricultural, but yesterday on our way to Luxembourg we saw a diiferent section, the be- ginning of the industrial area. From Luxembourg we will re- turn to Frankfurt and then fol- low the Rhine north. More mews next week. Mr. B.C. Motorist Discovers Why... you get more miles | from EXPERT: Chevron Supreme keeps, the combustion chamber clean because it burns clears. MR. B.C. And does it increase mileage? ©XPERT: Yes! Deposits in the combustion chamber cause gasoline to burn unevenly and waste power. Chevron Supreme leaves no deposits. All gasoline is burned, none wasted. RR. B.C. How can I prove it? “1 =XPERT: The simplest way is to con- duct the “Supreme” Mileage test for your self. Pick up a copy of Standard’s “Gasoline | Mileage Record” from any Standard Sta- tion or Chevron Dealer when you fill your tank with Chevron Supreme.
