"Travels with Thelma" By Robert McIntyre Originally our plan was to stay in Germany for a month or so and spend the remainder of our time working in England. However, our working permits were turned down for three years because of the long list, which meant we had to stay in Ger- many. This notice brought my temperature to the boiling point, but later I cooled off and ac- cepted Germany as my home for the next six months and I haven't regretted it since. In all countries one finds it hard to generalize what he sees. This in turn makes it very diffi- cult to describe complex Ger- many, for if you start on one topic it eventually leads to an- other. However, I did find the Germans hard working people. One has only to look at the ci- ties, that were obliterated in the Last war to see they have accomplished near miracles. This also brings out a sense of pride in Germans but not the "nose in the air" type. They are willing to admit the past and look to the future with more insight and understanding. I found as Canadians we were generally very well accepted by them. Leaving Germany reluctant- ly behind, we set out with ruck sacks on our backs and $10 each per week for seven weeks. oBEING SEAMED FOR BUSINESS WE'RE BUILDING FAST -- WATCH US GROW MEANWHILE CHECK THESE FEATURE VALUE UNITS 1960 PONTIAC LAURENTIAN 1961 CHEVROLET BISCAYNE 2 -Door, 6 Cylinder, Stnd. 4 -boor Stnd., 6 Cylinder 1964 P-85 OLDSMOBILE 2 -Door, V6, Automatic 1962 CHEVROLET '/s -TON Long box, Excellent condition , MCLURE MOTORS LTD. WINGHAM DIAL 357-3760 We started down the famous Rhine River by boat to Wiesbad- en, courtesy of a friend who ar- ranged a free ride. Our itinerary took us briefly: From Frankfurt (Chicago of Ger- many) along the "Romantic Road" to Munich, to the Bavar- ian Alps where we spent one full week relaxing under the mountain in the village of Mittenwald, a beautiful little quiet town not far, from Inns- bruck where the Olympic Games were held. We found a room in a private tourist house (600 years old) and one day we dis- covered much to our surprise we had neighbours next door name- ly, one old cow and four pigs. We relaxed when we were told that most people around the town have a cow or some live- stock in the house somewhere. From Mittenwald we took a quick dip through Austria, but I found I was getting claustro- phobia from the mountains around me so we hurried quick- ly back to Germany and up to Strasbourg in France. We then went directly to the coast, not too far from Calais, where we found hundreds of old "bunkers" left by the Germans in the last war. Most were blown to piec- es even with two feet thick walls. Some had people liv- ing in them. We were fortun- ate to find a good one high on the rocky coast which we made home for a week. Must admit though it was quite damp, but what a place! Standing on the high hill looking out over the channel one could imagine what it must have been like to be a German soldier patrolling the beach or an allied soldier out there waiting to land some- where. I suddenly felt a deep gratitude to the many soldiers who died along that coast. Within 24 hours after land- ing in "Jolly Old England" I had a job with a construction firm and we were comfortably settled in a vacant house in a quaint little village called " Wingham" . '.fter many hard weeks on the European contin- ent we found English hospitality out of this world and speaking English again was a pleasure. In fact they spoiled us terribly and we never had it rough again until we got to : outhampton late one night and couldn't find accommodation. At one o'clock that morning we wan- dered into the public park and pulled out the sleeping bags and fell asleep nehind the memorial to th• Engineers who died in the 'i'it.caic disaster. That same rnonzing we were homeward bound. There have times when we felt shame tor •;anada, and many more when we glowed with pride to be Canadians. She represents a land of freedom and opportunity to us and home! P.S. l entitled this "Tra- vels with Thelma" because I am a lover of John Stcinback's FLING THE MOP—Well, maybe that's not the proper name of the game but Bob McIntyre took a whirl at it when the 14th Canterbury Troop of Boy Scouts and Cubs held its annual "fete" in the Armouries at Canterbury, Eng- land. Mr. and Mrs. McIntyre were living about six miles away, at Wingham, at the time where he was employed at construction work for three weeks before returning to Canada.—Photo courtesy Kentish Gazette.
