AftS Page Journey to New York State a study in contrasts I have been to New York several times but I never went there by car This time friends asked us to join them for a motor trip We went to the Finger Lakes District in New York State first where we stayed with a couple who have a fine old house there The Finger Lakes have been gouged out by huge glaciers of the last ice age and the result is on of the loveliest landscapes anywhere The Finger Lakes District con sists predominantly of tree covered hills and the main crop seems to be wine The slopes are planted with winebergs and the quality of the wine is excellent The settlements are many and they are small There seems to be little in dustry in the area with the result that the old patterns of fields wining roads and small towns and villages have remained fair ly undisturbed Even very grand old houses with classical facades sell for modest sums of money and there are many trailer homes here and there beside a lake or in a grove of trees Our poor Willow Park people would not have any difficulties to relocate their com munity in the Finger Lake District But they might have trouble finding work there We continued to Dover in New Jersey where a young man from my hometown in Germany started a knitting mill years ago By 1910 he had become the largest producer of ladies silk stockings in the world He died in 1932 his factory was sold and his widow and daughter moved away from Dover I am searching for possible who can tell me more about the man and I went to Dover to meet several old people who knew him 60 years ago We had planned to drive to New York City from Dover but we found out there was a bus line close to a wonderful motel we had settled into where we could catch a bus for New York only miles away every halfhour We did that for the next three days Every morning after breakfast we boarded the bus that whisked us to Manhattan in one hour THe area around New York Ci ty is very much like our area here around Toronto only much rougher It never ceases to amaze me how ugly a becomes when it is shaped solely by commercial interests You have the impression you are in a war zone and I had to admit from a visual point of view the result of unfettered capitalism is as unpleasant and as destructive as the result of the unfettered socialism 1 saw in East Germany a year ago The highway to New York was lined with failed businesses and boardedup fastfood places and a forest of wooden posts with wires for every utility purpose dangling from them created a visual pollution of rare distinc tion When I returned to Ontario my eyes had become so used to the havoc of the New Jersey land scape near New York City that the Toronto area looked for the first time like a place created by people with a sense of beauty It all depends on what we use for comparison New York City of course is in comparable Our bus entered a system of Ideas and The Arts by John Sommer We all have come to this conti nent either personally or in the guise of our ancestors The trauma of arriving at a foreign shore is a part of our history The new museum on Ellis Island is a moving monument to this trauma and a must for every visitor to New York I cannot possibly write about everything we did in New York there isnt enough space but 1 want to mention one more near magical edifice At the most nor thern tip of Manhattan in Fort Tyron Park is a museum devoted to the art of the Middle Ages called The Cloisters It is made up of actual parts of medieval buildings that the Rockefeller family brought over from Europe and got assembled in New York The Cloisters houses the famous Unicorn Tapestries besides other great treasures and the spell the museum and its gardens casts over the visitors is overwhelm ing special bus lanes on which hun dreds of buses from every part of New Jersey surged like a mighty river through the Lincoln Tun nel to resurface in the middle of Manhattan in a gigantic ter minal built like an ascending serpentine or the inside of a nautilus shell Buses were ing their passengers on many levels of huge crowds exploded into the surrounding streets and onto sidewalks covered with the bodies of the poor and homeless who slept there in the midst of the most fantastic city noises Only minutes later we arrived by taxi at the palace of Henry Clay Fnclt on Central Park Mr was a Pittsburgh coke and steel tycoon and one of the greatest American art collectors ever His palace and his collec tion have been preserved and are one of the grandest experiences any are lover can have in New York City The next day we went by boat to the beautifully renovated Statue of Liberty and from there to nearby Ellis Island which has been restored and opened as a Museum of Immigration Learn to Drive and Survive Say I
