ROAD truck by' a cyclone.' Brit before I launch into an coount of our two-day , tour of post-war Germany I'd like to mention a few more points of niterest about our stay in Den- mark. While the Danes had to put p with plenty of hardships, in- cluding dislocation of their ex - ort trade when the Nezis over- an their country, they did not offer as much as some other European countries.'Today agri- ultural production in Denmark only limited by the Danes' biliity to grow and buy fodder I, their livestock. From what could learn, agriculture is pretty well back to the pre-war evel. There is still some war darn- ge to be seen in Denmark. Per- haps one of the most amazing car 'souvenirs is a building in the hcart of Copenhagen. It was the Gestapo headquarters during the occupation and one day a couple of RAF light bombers swooped down within a few hundred feet of it and let go their bombs. So accurate was the pinpoint bombing that the bombs landed dead in the centre of the build - mg. All the houses around re- mained intact while the explod- e bombs wrecked the interior of the building. The walls still tend for all to see. During our tour of Denmark ve also managed to visit a co- perative dairy, two royal castles, !rederiksberg and the Elsinore of iamlet, and a folk school which as one of 50 for which Denmark s famous. The most ancient paint are visited, was an old Viking emple which, we were told, was d00 years old when Columbus ailed to America. But to get back to Germany. From the time we crossed the Danish -German border at Schles- wig-Holstein (the last name should be familiar to a certain cattle breeders association back home) we saw evidence of war damage on all sides. It increas- ed as we approached Hamburg and in that city we saw what it means to a country to lose a war, Hamburg, where we made our headquarters, is a weird mixture. It has been called' the city of I living and the dead. It was once Europe's greatest port and the greatest shipbuilding centre i•n Germany. Here the Nazis built most of their submlarine fleet and constructed great re- pair shops to service their mer- chant fleet, Happy Workers Meet The February meeting of the Happy Workers Club was held at the home of Mrs; John Smith with 16 members and three vis- itors present. The meeting opened by sing- ing "Silent Night" followed by the Lord's Prayer. The secretary -treasurer re- port was given. The lucky tick- et was won by Mrs, Noble Holl- and. Quilt patches were given out to be enade. A quilt top was. donalte3 by Mrs. Cliff Glazier. It was decided to send 2 quilts to the family which was burnt out near Wingham. The next meet- ing is to be held at Mrs. Noble Holland's. The meeting closed by, singing God Save the King. The afternoon was spent in a' social form after which a dainty lunch was served by group 2 which axe: Mrs. Wilfred, Glazier, Mrs. Albert Glazier, and. Mrs. John Smith. .

BENTLEY 36 Regent St. Box 58 Goderich As a result it was one of the main targets for the air forces. Today most of the city lie., in rubble with more than 50 per cent of the Homes destroyed, the submarine works have been blasted and the shipbuilding plants are practically crippled. The thousand -plane air raids did so much damage that the people still haven't managed to dig out ,,ld of their dead from under the piles of debris. But life goes on in spite of the ruin and de- struction. In some respects the Germans have managed to make a remark- able recovery. With the excep- tion of coffee and a few minor things there is no rationing. Peo- ple do not seem to have any dif- ficulty getting foodstuffs or gas- oline, or anything for that mat- ter as long as they have the marks to pay out, In Hamburg the stores are filled with goods and I was able to get films there that I couldn't,' get in England. But prices are very high and wages are very low, The people have to choose' between eating well or being well clothed, for they just haven't the money for both, If they have' families they choose the food. Even in the best hotels we 'saw very few well dressed people. There is considerable Unem- ployment in the cities, a con- dition that -is made worse by the fact that an- 'estimated 12,000,000 refugees from • Eastern Germany, mostly older men and women and children, have moved into West- ern Germany and more arrive every day. On the farms we saw few ma- chines. We did not see any milk- ing machines. As you have prob- ebly ,guessed there is Utile need ^f labor-saving machines when human labor is so Plentiful. They have three times as many hands on the farms here as we have at home. Most of the cattle we saw on the farms here are Friesian. We were not too impresed with them but no doubt we did not see the best"herds, But we did see some good hogs which are shorter and thicker than the Danish hogs and: are marketed at heavier weight. Our guides were James Par - Ilene. 'agricultural advisor to the military government, and Dr, Carl Redder of. Esso. They' drove Ins to North -Germany to inspect the day districts srhe ich 'ar ' deny shout 80 miles south of Hamburg. We a'so saw thousands of acres of reforested 1 -end, mostly pine 'ind spruce, The.y had ell' heel hand -planted in light soil.
