b 0 if your daughter were living in europe in the hou sehold of a princess as gov erness to her two children cant you imagine how eagerly you would anticipate her letters home that is the way mr and mrs frank thompson of milton feel i am sure and i know the letters live fully up to their expectations i had the opportunity of re some their daughter helen wrote home last fall they were fascina ting full of the adventure of travelling and making her home in a new country with new customs and completely new mode of life helen has been in europe since last sumer her parents are well- known in georgetown as well as in milton mr thompson is superin tendent of the childrens aid soci ety for fialton i the name op the princess by whom helen is employed is princess beatrix wittgen stein the address possenhofen starnbergersee bavaria germany in one of her recent letters home helen wrote of an incident which reflects the insecurity and drama tic hardship endured by man peo ple in poland today this excerpt e a courtf of shiners 51 l 5h- jfcfc a- it is a black eye to our neighbourhood if everyone doesnt show up for a chest xray heres why 1 it is free getting an xray doesnt cost a cent

crusade and bb xrayed if tm from the letter speaks for itself the princess sent a christmas parcel to her old home in pomer- ania formerly in east prussia now part of poland and was in formed by the russian authorities that for no particular reason the parcel would not be delivered it seems she made the mistake of sending it through a store without realizing that such a thing was verboten she did however ma nage to send 100 swiss francs ab out 2000 and a parcel through the international red cross in gen eva the following is a very poor translation of a letter she received to acknowledgement first direct news shed had for u years translation quftb unexpectedly and with the greatest joy we received news from war saw that you by transfer of 100 swiss francs have given us the most magnificent of gifts my whole family and i thank you sincerely from the bottom of our hearts it is not given to me to show rnj thanks to you in any proper way but instead i will pray to god that you may be rewarded 100 times for your good care i just cant write how enormous and com forting our joy is when we feel and we see that we are not forgot ten because the cash will not be paid to us i have received a 1 catalogue from which i can choose gifts in the value of 100 francs i have chosen 1 pair of black shoes for my husband 8 yards of cotton foa aprons and 6 yards for shirts 2 pounds of coffee and 2 pounds of cocoa i beg you to forgive me for taking so much coffee cocoa but these things are so very rare and at my age one loves to drink a good cup of coffee i havent re ceived the parcel yet but we are looking forward to its arrival each day i shall send news as soon as i receive it we arc fighting hard at the moment for our permission to leave my husband and i could go but our son and wife our daughter and husband would have to stay ttcy are too young it is destroying our nerves we have thought we could hold the old home until all of you could cele brate a reunion with us here but maybe it will never happen a thousand deep felt greetings from home end of translation 4 it seems strange to us that about s3000 could give such joy these people lived to one of the five villages ruled by the bismark family in pomera- nia their homes were free except that they in turn worked for the bismarcks- they attemp ted to escape ahead of the rus sians to 1845 but were among the 10 per cent of these villagers who were turned back another 10 per cent got as far as east germany the other 80 per cent were killed after this pelkv into what seems another altogether it is perhaps strange for me to say that its a smal world after all trite as the expression may be its true for helen has become acquainted with a local girl brenda robinson frey and her husband gunther frey who live to a charming home la a new section oa the eatskirts of moakfa brenda is the dattghter of mr and mr sjb atohtonoat junes street 8tacenav to guauwr frey bread la c4towa aadrthar uall before their faovi since discovering each other they arrange this as frequently as pos sible helen has visited them ma ny times and the freys in turn have been to visit helen at possen hofen brendas friends here will be pleased tp hear she is well and seems very happy in germany farm news march hog marketings lftvooo less than 1956 j e w hogs run during march averaged 110000 per week which was 13 per cent or 16000 head a week less than march of last year for the first quarter of this year hog mar ketings in the west were down 13 j per cent and in the east 105 per cent compared to the same period last year
