Wonderful Experiences Are Told oy
Hisses Gerda and Alpha Peter
son of Old World Tour.
Following a four and a hall
months European tour. Misses Alpha
and Gerda Peterson landed in the
United . States on Sunday, July 23,
and returned to their home In this
city the earlier part of this week.
Many countries, one principality,
as well as numerous islands were
toured by the Plattsmouth ladies.
Among the countries and places in
cluded in their itinerary were Pal
estine, Syria, Egypt, Ireland. Asia
Minor. Greece. Italy. France, Bel
gium, Holland, Germany, Switzer
land. Denmark, Norway, Sweden,
Finland. England. Scotland. "Wales.
Rhoades Island. Lichenstein, a prin
cipality, and Armenia.
The ladies left on their European
city to city Misses Alpha and Gerda
Peterson sailed on eight different
.hips. The Easter period was spent
In Palestine. They desired to see
and view the customary Easter ser
Tices and celebrations that are al
ways held, but due to the uncertain
conditions which, arose about that
line the Easter services were called
off suddenly. Some of the highlights
seen in Palestine were the Dead Sea,
the River Jordan, the City of Da
mascus, which U the oldest
city in the world. Some of the
most interesting ard historical
eights witnessed by tfce Plattsmouth
'adies were the place where the Last
Supper took plaee: they walked near
the paths where Christ himself jour
neyed during this time; they saw
the spot where the crucifixion took
place; and Christ's birthplace. Dur
ing their travels In Palestine as well
as in other places they had a guide
to show them and direct them
around. One of the most amazing
facts that they found was that their
guide has been and still is familiar
with their home town of Platts
mouth. He is quite familiar with a
number of the old-time settlers and
voyage on Saturday, March 18, and J residents of Plattsmouth he being
docked in Naples, Italy. During their acquainted with such names as the
trip from country to country and Vallerys, Whites, Doveys and
many others. His name was Myers
and he left the United States fifty
six years ago for Jerusalem and has
served many years as a guide.
Following their thorough tour
through Palestine the Peterson girls
visited and sailed to these other var
ious countries mentioned above. In
Holland they saw enormous beds of
tulip fields which were in bloom at
that time; in Sweden they saw the
Land of the Midnight San; and
in Switzerland they visited the birth
place of Miss Marie Kaufmann and
visited with a cousin of Miss Kauf
mann. They also spent some time in
Finland and while there they made
the acquaintance of the American
ambassador to Finland, Mr. Watson.
Returning home the Plattsmouth
ladies brought with them many
souveniers for themselves. Among
these was the coin collection a coin
from each country that Miss Gerda
has at the present time. A collection
of dolls representing a number of
countries is Miss Alpha Peterson's
treasured collection. Some of the
dolls that are dressed in fashionable
costume representing their country
are French. Irish, Assyrian, Greek
and Scotch;
Some of the disputes in the various
countries were also discussed among
the Americans and Europeans in the
different countries, and. therefore,
the American ladies were able to
familiarize themselves with the strt
of trouble and faults of each coun
try. In Palestine there is the Arab
and Jewish feud, a trouble that was
largely the cause of the postpone
ment of the Easter services. In Ire
land and England there is at the
present the IRA rebellion and in one
instance the ladies saw where a beau
tiful building had been bombed tc
pieces by the terrorists. The Platts
mouth ladies desired to tour Czecho
slovakia but at that time the
German fuehrer, Adolf Hitler took
over the country and made it dan
gerous and uncertain to travel In
that country.
Altho making acquaintance ol
hundreds, of people was the local
ladies' chief delight but in the tour
pot a familiar face was seen, with
the exception that some of their ac
quaintances were fajniliar and knew
a number of Plattsmouth people.
After completing a very thorough
tour of these European countries
the many places of interest and facts
too numerous to mention the
Misses Alpha and Gerda Peterson
boarded the Goodwill ship at Bel
fast, Ireland and sailed for the
United States. Their trip proved to
be a very cool one; their return trip
especially was foggy, making their
landing in good old U. S. A. delayed.
When they reached New York Mayor
F. II. LaGuardia of New York, was
present to greet the ship, a task that
he undertook for the first" time dur
ing his term of mayorship. Misses
Alpha and Cerda Peterson also spent
some time at the New York World's
Fair before they returned to their
home in Plattsmouth, following a
vacation period which was profitably
spent and enjoyed immensely.
