Prospering Germany Viewed

acres away from the villages.
The average cost of the farm
buildings alone will cost the
farmer 20-40 thousand dollars
for which he has 32 years to
repay at 3-5 per cent inter
est. The small pieces of land
which the farmer has given
up for his new consolidated
farm goes into larger strips
with other farms and - soon
it is hoped fields are once
again large enough to enable
further mechanical tech
nology. Modern farm prac
tices, under the direction of
the Green Plan, are common
in the new farms. However,
specialized farming is yet un
known in many of the parts
I have visited. The rapidly
expanding chicken industry
and the wino industry have
shown the greatest prospects
of specialization. A "heri
tage system," where the
oldest son wishing to farm
now acquires all the land
is employed as a government
rule throughout Germany.
The brothers, sisters, and
parents are slowly reim
bursed for their share value
of the farm. Other farm aids
are also included within the
Green Plan. Too numerous to
mention all, I will merely!
state that last year ls.oj
million dollars was spent in'
improving German agricul-;
ture. '
The traditional dances and,
beautiful costumes of the!

against their typical wooden
house seems like another
world from Stuttgart, ultra
modern in design. The new
parliment building of that re
built cltr with sculpture of
Henri Moore and architec
ture of Miles Van der Rhoe
present new against old. The
highest hill around Stutgart
is built from the rubble of
war demolished buildings
This hill stands as a symbol
of the will and efforts of the
people to forget the past and
build for the future. The
Bundes Garten Schau (Fed
eral Horticultural and Land
scape Exhibit), near the new
parliment building, is laden
with architectural and floral
beauties. The many flowers
served as a beginning to the
manv daily witnessed in the
homes of southern Germany.
Boxes of petunias and geran
iums hang from the windows
and porches of old and new
houses alike.
Accompanied by my three

Alumni Plan
Husker Tour
Of Europe
A Cornhusker Tour of Eu-
people j rope is planned for all
interested members of the
Nebraska Alumni Association
and their immediate families.
The complete three-week
tour of six European coun
triesEngland, Holland, Ger
many, Switzerland, Italy and
France, will cost only $749
per person.
This sum ' Includes round
trip plane fare to Europe
from Chicago for $290 and
the land tour price of $459.
Land tour price covers meals,
hotels, travel, admission fees,
taxes and tips.
Highlights of the tour will
be an evening show at the
a boat
trip
pairing tractors and machia
ery for boys, and cooking,
housekeeping and sewing for
the girls, three winners of
each gender were selected
The climax of the event was
the Youth Rally of 8,000 with
representation from Scotland,
Austria, France, Switzerland,
Sweden, Finland and the Un
ited States present. As each
country told, danced and sang
the customs of its land,. I
wondered why the entire
world could not find a com
mon ground for better under
standing. Here where 8,000
youths who knew the import
ance of understanding their
fellow men and were enjoy
ing the dances of Spain, the
bagpipes of Scotland and the
yodels of Switzerland.
My speaking language, as I
now termed "Goloush" resem
bles a mixture of high and
low German from the north
and words of Schwabish, Ba-
dish. and Pfalz dialects so far
encountered in the south.
May I take this opportun
ity to extend to you the
thought told to me by my
last Christian family. "Let's
pray togetner for world
peace." In this critical time
when communism is knock
ing boards from our door
with its heavy pounding, isn't
it time to realize that our
own strength must be aided

Spray-Gun
Fireproof in g
Saves Trees
The warmth of the holiday
season could become a blaze
of disaster if your Christmas
tree catches fire.
The potential danger of an
unprotected Christmas tree
can be easily elimated with
a simple fireproofing formula
recommended by the Uni
versity Health Service, Divi
sioin of Environment Health
and Safety.
All organized houses on the
University campus have
been asked to comply with
the Division's request.
The fireproofing formula, a
requirement for Christmas
trees in any University
building, would be an excel
lent one for students to send
home for the holiday season.
Here is the formula, ob
tained from the Lincoln City
Fire Department, to be ap
plied with an ordinary small
insect spray gun:
Mix nine ounces of borax
and four ounces of boric acid
in one gallon of water; or for
one quart of solution, use
two and one-fourth ounces of
borax and one ounce of boric
acid. Apply generously to all
portions of Christmas tree
with an insect spray gun.
