& 2 TELLING A LIE ; E Four Port Perry High School Students | Spend Five Happy Weeks In Germany Continued boarded a bus and. travelled to Heidelberg. Heidelberg is a "city situated on the Neckar River and a 'nearby village, Ziegelhausen, was our 'home' for the next four nights. While. we were there we staved with. German families] and visited the castle and sum- mer palace of the electorate in Heidelberg and took a scenic boat cruise on the Neckar River. The next two nights were spent either with familes in Voelklingen or at the youth hostel, in nearby Saarbrucken. While there, we toured a huge steel mill, much like that of Hamilton, and were guests at an official dinner given by the city. From here we travel- led through France to Kehl in Germany. We stayed in the youth hostel there. The next day we crossed the border back to Strassburg France, where we spent the night in a university residence. We visited the European Parlia- ment in Strassburg and then drove on the Shorndor I, where we spent the next two nights with German families. Near Schorndorf there is locateda rather large city-Stuttgart. One day we drove theie ind toured the Mercedes-Benz plant. It is huge and quite similar to Géneral Motors in Oshawa. . Our next two nights were spent in Schaffhausen, Swit- zerland. We visited the Rhine Falls while we were there. Haus International and a youth hostel in Munich, Ger- many were our places of accommodation for the next four nights. One early Munich morning we visited the Goethe Instityte a facility for the study of the German language.

ICE--Block & Cube morning we visited the Sie- mens Museum, a haven for all varieties of electrical relics, including obsolete radios, washing machines, stoves, x-ray machines and telegraphs. { One afternoon we lunched at the world famous Hofbrau Leaving Munich we drove to Regensberg, passing through Salzburg, Austria, and viewing Mozart's birth place. Accom- modations in Regensberg were unique, a seminary, which is very similar to a convent. An official reception by the Ober- Burger Meister started our day cheerfully. However, our day proceeded on a more sober note with a tour of prison and torture rooms in the Rathaus and then Regensberg Univer- sity. i We . drove to Nuremberg where we spent three. nights in _a castle. We drove on HOMES WANTED WEAU ESTATE (TD REALTOR 985 - 7373 | meet to s again Rotenberg oder Tauber whire a welcome drink from the city tumbler awaited 'us. In the evening we attended a program ol plays put on by actors from the city. We drove back to Nurem- burgyg vom where we flew to Berlin. A tour of the Western sector included Hitler's Olym- pic Stadium, several points along the wall and a museum, depicting escapes. The Minister of German Affairs explained in detail, the existing political problem in Germany. We went via U-Bahn (subway) to East Berlin where we found spac; ious streets almost totally deserted. A cruise on the Berlin lakes revealed an inter- esting aspect of life on one sidé of white buoys, people, fun, freedom, while on the other side, nothing. Qur last place to visit was Wurzberg where we toured Lhe local duke's palace and an old castle. Accommodations for the latter part of the trip were youth hostels. Youth hostels are places open to the members of the younger generation who are travelling around Euorpe. However, | did "hear thal there is one being set up in Toronto, al this time. It usually costs about 50¢ a night. In order to stay in a youth hostel you have to be either travelling in a group, such as' us or travelling on foot: or motorbike. They do 'not accept people travelling in cars." The youth hostels of Germany proved to be very hospitable to Canadians. Generally theaccommodations were good. Staying in youth hostels was an experience in itsell with as many as 22 people in one room. "I found that it was very easy -to-make friends and to people from other countries besides Germany. Evén though it was quite enjoyable lo stay in youth hostels we enjoyed - slaying with the families even more. This is the only way that you can really learn the language and become better acquainted Lan? N PORT PERRY. STAR --- Thursday, Aug. 28,1969 -- 13 Epsom N . Jean Jeffery I do not*know the author but this little poem packs a lot of sense: "If all that we say in a single day With never a word left out Were printed cach night in clear black and white, 'T would prove queer reading no doubt. And then just suppose, e'er our eyes we could close We must read the whole record through, Then wouldn't we sigh, and wouldn't we try, A great deal less talking to do, And I more than half think, "J that many a kink Would be smoother in life's tangled thread, ) If half that we say in a single' day, Were left forever unsaid." Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Lyons, Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Jef- fery visited the handicraft shop at the home of Mrs. V. Skerratt and enjoyed a very lovely visit with Mrs. Sker- ratt. There was such a large quantity of beautiful handi- crafted goods on display to choose from. Tt is time well spent to pay a visit to this little shop which is open on Saturday afternoons: Mr. and Mrs. Murray Pren- tice enjoyed a trip to Moo- sonee last week. Mr. Ross Prentice flew to New York last week to at- tend an international con- vention. Higher Mathema- tics (too high for me to know the first A, B. C of it). Ross was one of Speakers. with the culture of our Ger- man neighbours. The weather while we were away was beautiful and warm with rain on only three different days. This is quite unusual for Ger- many as they usually have rain at least once a day. We had a wonderful trip and some day .I hope Lo return to Europe.
