Section Two Four pages "The Voice of the Beef Empire"-North-Central Nebraska's BIGGEST Newspaper _ Volume 80—Number 27 O'Neill, Holt County, Nebraska, Thursday, October 27, I960 Seven Cents Young German Frau Enjoys O'Neill Sojourn Would you thrill to the sound of your 82 year old mothers or your young husband’s voice coming to you by way of an in ternational telephone hookup that spanned the miles that bridged a spot the half of two continents away with an ocean between? I say “would you now"? That was the pleasure of Mrs. <’arl tioidapp ant her niece Mrs. Heinz Fridrlch Sunday af ternoon when they dialed the long distance operator at the switchboard at the liwal tele phene office and gave an ad dress in far-away Stuttgart, in the province of Wuerttcmberg. In nothing flat (five to eight minutes, no longer than that) communication was established between the Gateway Motel of fice ami the home of Mrs. Gol (tapp’s sister, Mrs. Klara Stola where the family was assembl ed. Mrs. Goldapp talked to her S2 year old mother, Mrs. Ka tharine Harsch and her Ms ter and Mrs. Frldrich conversed with her husband and mother. Trie price of the international hook-up was quoted at $12.50 for a three minute call. Mrs. Gold app had planned to call her mo ther on her birthday but post poned it until her niece could also talk with the home folks. Previous to last March Herr and Frau Frvdnch were both em ployed in the Stuttgart offices of IBM, Inc. His wife was allowed to join him at Endicott, N. Y where he is employed in the state side office of IBM. She made the trip by plane in July. The time for their departure for Germany has been postponed several times and now with this unexpected re turn to Germany where he was to make a report they think they may be here at least until next March. The Fredrichs are apalled by the un-necessary waste of land and the free, independent way of life with little thought eviduit in their lavish disregard of economy as practiced abroad. Brigitte remarked that their homes cost a great deal mere in comparison with our h using pro jects. Built of stone for perman ence they accomodate one, two or three families, a floor to a family. Clothing and food are higher there with the ratio of earning differing a great deal. A pair of shoes that may be purchased ir the states with money earned in a few hours time will take one or two days wages to pay for there. The rate of exchange is 4 marks-20 pfennig for each Amer ican dollar. While they do have all the con veniences there that we enjoy here they are not so plentiful or so common. Cars are used for transportation but a car for every family or one for each member of the family as it often is here is not the rule there. The German cars do not cost as much and operate more economically thar ours and while they do have trac tors and motor power they are not nearly as highly mechanized as we are. They have movies, theater? present stage shows and they own radios and TVs in modera tion. There are no commercials to defray the cost of production of the radio and TV programs sc they must pay for their entertain ment. With fewer stations, inter ference should be less and they should have better reception. TV is only on for a few hours in the afternoon and again in the eve ning. Tlie school systems differ from ours somewhat, having eight years of public school or foui years of public school, with six or eight years of high school for which tuition is charged and books and supplies are bought by the student. As far as Mrs. Goldapp has been able to determine from let ters fiT>m her relatives and vis iting with Bridgitte, living con ditions have not worsened to any very great degree since the war in their part of western Germany near the Switzerland line. Mr. Goldapp's home was in the Russian occupied eastern Ger many. Both Mr. and Mrs. Gold app came to America in 1923 from different sections of Ger many and were married here. Hts relatives now live in West Ger many also. Mrs. Goldapp is the only one of her family living in America. Mrs. Goldapp’s mother, Mrs Katrina Harch paid th m a visit in 1936 when they were living ir Seattle and their twin daughters Joan and Jean were a year old Comely, gray-eyed Bridgitte, an attractive brunette, haus-frau and office worker in Deutchland was busy assisting her aunt clear the debris of frozen petunias leav ing the winter’s junipers for the circle drive looking barren after the fragrant perfumed flamboyant beauty of the near-black purple petunias so lately in full bloom Brigitte’s sister left her teach ing position in England to go home for Brigitte’s wedding in July, 1959. Brigitte speaks En glish quite fluently, needing only practice to perfect her speech A bi-lingual requirement is ex pected of German students, whije a second language is not taught ir America except as the student wishes. The O’Neill couple will take Brigitte to Treynor, la., to the home of their daughter, Mrs. Joan Saar Friday. She will board a plane Saturday for Endicott in York State where she will meet her husband. Two weeks ago the Goldapps met her in Omaha and took her to the Saar home where they were joined for the weekend by Mrs Jean Kramer of Algona and Mrs, Emily Storey of Council Bluffs for a get-acquainted get-together with their foreign cousin. Bridgitte is glad of the oppor tunity to make their acquaintance and to live for a time in the dif ferent atmosphere of America but she is quite sure that she would want to return sometime to her native land. -, Spencer News By Mrs. K <>■.«* llurnbark Members of the Orman chap ter.
