Dear Folks: As Christmas ap-
proaches we are thinking more•
than ever of friends and home.
Despite our interest in this very
broadening experience, we miss
our' families, friends and our
home. However, we are enjoy-
ing our stay in Germany and
have already become so used to
our new . surroundings that' we
scarcely notice- even a cow -
drawn• honey wagon lumbering
up the street on its way to, the
farm fields,
The area here is most inter-
esting with much to see and
do, and history around, 'every
corner. • We" Fare ten minutes'
drive from the Rhine• -a very
fast -flowing rived with traffic
record only to the Autbohn land
traffic. We are also only 10 min-
utes from the border of France
and an hour's drive from Switz-
erland, so the flavor of France,
Switzerland and Germany are
well mingled' and you can sav-
our good French cuisine, Swiss

Each village has at least one
and usually several Gavthauses.
They are quaint,- dimly .1i ht
and loaded with. atmosp ere -
beamed ceilings, candles, etc.
They offer good meals, overnight
accommodation,' any European
wine, champagne, beer. There
is a •latge'farrily-'sizetable in --

men meet in the evenings and
on Sunday to chat.
The. Black . Forest Mountains,
with their tall pines, are around
us and there are numerous de-
lightful little . villages on the
sides of the mountains: We en
joy driving through the villages

seem to follow the Rhine and
you can drive for miles and see
these steep hillsides cultivated
-and producing grapes for wine -
making.
There isso, much history
around us, small village church-
es and abbeys dating from the
12th century and many bustle -
walled cities, '"castles whose
'weathered walls ,and' worn stone
steps almost talk of rove and
laughter of centuries ago.

from the old church steeple
ring in discord frequently on
Sunday and the funny little train

small round ' topped Gan- .goes
along the main street four
times a day. Hugelsheim is the
asparagus growing district and
the cultivation is quite an art

-The street is cobblestone and

Tril$sry is a fascinating town
an hour's drive away. It is the
wood carving, clock making
town in Germany where the
carvers sit in their little shops
and shape wood into magnifi

dren are --I rtitrght to. sc`hooi by
bus. Teachers have many extra
duties here, such as supervi-
Sion of the hundreds who bring
their luhch. Duties rotate but
they do add a lot toour work
load. At dismissal time the 9100
children of the' junior school,
kindergarten to grade 5 are
loaded on buses for home. The -
seniot- • school, where Harve-
teaches -and where the grade
6 to 8 go, including Jim, is a
mile away ficin• our school. The
junior school consists of sev-
eral converted barrack blocks.
The school- children have
moved so often and lived in.
so many places, school must of-
fer stability and security, as
well .as a -learning , situation, so
teaching is a real challenge.
The teachers are a very con-
scientious crew and the associa-
tion- with them 'is interesting,
since they are from all over
Canada.
Our apartment is upstairs ov-
er our landlady and over the
shed. She keeps chickens,
goats, pigs and cats in the barn
connected to the shed. We have
a kitchen, small dining area,
living room and two bedrooms
and bathroom. We have 'two
oil space heaters anal a little
oil stove under the hot water
tank, so Harvie has his daity
chores to do. The new modern''
apartments • here have central
heating, but many like . •ours
haven't.

tivities for them -hockey, figure

ing, judo, Scouts, etc. Jim and

week. We have a hospital on
the base and two beautiful lit-
tle chapels -a Roman Catholic
and a Protestant. We shop in
our own grocery store but many
items we were used to are
unavailable; The meat is all
frozen and comes from Den-
mark, while the -milk, is brought
daily from Amsterdam. The,
NATO bases in Europe have
huge central food dispensing
areas. Baked foods and bread
are shipped front a central bak-

Canadian bases all over Eur-

Middle East at Christmas. The
trip is to strenuous for the chil-
dren, so • afterr much deliberat-

Nurnberg next week to see the
famous toymakers and their
shops, and 'we are having a
Christmas dinner together be-
fore we go. As you may guess,
Santa will be generous. Our
tour ,takes us to Athens, Leb-

Jericho, Israel, Galilee, Capen-

happy and well, this Christmas
should be • a memorable one. °'`
