The waiter, who spoke German, French and broken English, informed us that no ala carte dishes were 'served for lunch.'In other words we would .' have a regular luncheon served to us or nothing at all. We consented to the luncheon, although we didn't know what we were getting. The meal start-ed with two sardines as an ape- - , tizer; salad followed, then a bev-erage; then soup and a separate dish of potatoes and finally pork chops. The food was delicious, . but the thing that bothered us when would they stop bringing food to the table. Much to our surprise the lun-cheon was completed and after paying the waiter, we returned to our compartment. Another surprise greeted us when we re-turned to the compartment, we found that we had a woman com-panion sharing the compartment with us. A smartly dressed and attractive woman of middle age (our guess), we were quite per-turbed in that the four of us sat in the compartment with nary a word to say. (Continued Next Week) find that they were enthusiastic about , our contemplated trip. Our only problem now was to make furlough applications for the same period of time. This was but a minor formal-ity which led to the publication of our' furlough orders. An unexpected delay resulting from my going to the field for a five day command post exercise almost ruined our plans. A long distance telephone Soon the conductor came through the car ringing a small bell which we presumed was the signal to tell passengers that lunch was being served in the diner. Our presumption was cor-rect, but we debated whether or not to go to lunch, not knowing how the diner operated. Out of curiosity, more than hunger, we decided to visit the diner. The diner was quite similar to the American diners, even more I call from Frankfurt, the rail center of Germany; a schnell (fast) train and good connections however, delivered me from the field to meet Walt and Jack at the Frankfurt Bahnhoff (rail-road station) early on the morn-ing our furlough was to begin. We then purchased tickets to the French-Germa- n border and tickets from the French border to Paris. In addition we purch-ased American Travelers checks from the American Express Co. Following a light breakfast in the Schuman Cafeteria in Frank-furt we walked across the street to the rail station and boarded our train at 10 a.m. Moving west from Frankfurt; we passed through Maintz, a city at the Junction of the Rhine andj Main Rivers which was founded in 1300 by Charlemaine. Like Frankfurt, it had been bombed extensively during World War II. Upon leaving Mainz, we en-tered the fertile Rhine Valley, a rich agricultural area known for grape vines that climb the moun tainside and the site of unnual wine festivals in the Autumn. THREE AMERICAN G.I 'SIN PARIS by Pfc. Sieve Smilanich The following article "Three American G.I.'s In Paris" writ-ten by Pfc Steve Smilanich, now stationed in Germany with the 12th Infantry, is a resume of a ten-da- y furlough spent in Paris by three American G.I.'s. The article has local appeal insofar that two of the persons involved are Bingham boys stationed in Germany with the occupation forces. The two arc: Steve, son of Mrs. Milka Smilanich of High-land Boy, and Pfc. Walter Fin-na- s, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Finnas of Copperton. Sixteen pages in length, the article be-gins in this weeks issue of the Bulletin . and will continue each week thereafter until its conclu-sion. It gives an interesting and descriptive account of their visit to various points of interest in and around Paris. A mere mention of the fact that I would visit Paris during my brief but rather eventful tra-vels since being inducted into the Army would probably induce many laughs or perhaps doubts among my service associates or my friends at home. To be quite truthful the reality of visiting this famous French city was quite remote in my mind until the opportunity pre-sented itself. The thought of visiting Paris had always moti vated a distant and somewhat desirous lust for far away places. Once settled in Germany with the occupation forces of the U.S. Army I was determined that this lust would be conquered insofar as I was so near Paris without actually being stationed there. The remainder is history con-cerning an enjoyable y. fur-lough to Paris a vibrant metro-polis of Europe. The big decision to take an extended leave of absence, or in army jargon, furlough, came one Sunday afternoon fol-lowing a visit with Pfc. Walter Finnas, my long time friend and army companion from Copper-to- n and a friend of Walter's, Cpl. Jack Mauser of Wichita, Kans. I was in Hanau over the week end covering a basketball game when the idea of approaching Walter and Jack on going to Paris with me came to my mind. At first I thought it would take something near an Act of Con-gress to get them out of Hanau. I was overjoyed, however, to "I REMEMBER" 1YTHS OLD HUMS , From Mrs. N. K. Oothrock, New-ber- g, Ore. I remember my first Ice cream cone. Tbe Ice cream man made the cones oa a small square waffle Iron. They were of a thin, sweetish batter cooked very quick-ly and rolled on a cone-shape- d form of metal He was very deft and quick, always giving just the right twirl to the form to wrap the thin strip around it while warm and put it aside to cool before fill-ing with Ice cream. From Mrs. James L. Mason, Duluth, Minn.: I remember when I was a little girl we four girls had to take our turn cleaning the silverware with white wood ashes and cleaning about 10 old kerosene lamps. We polished our shoes Sat-urday evening. We weren't allowed to do any work on Sunday, so every-thing was always ready for Sun-day school and church in the a.m. My father had Bible reading each morning before we ate. From George H. Brlgga, Lea An-te lea: I remember the centennial Fourth of July celegration in our village in central Iowa. The day opened with a salute by a brass cannon that had served in the War between the States. It was on the grounds across the street from my home. There also at nlgfit were dis-played the fireworks and the ta-bleau. The main gathering was in a meadow at the edge of town. A war colonel was speaker of the day. A cavalry captain was the officer of the day. There were games, races, and- - other amusements. Country folks came in farm wagons decorated with flags. The only casualties were small boys' fin-gers burned with firecrackers. (Mail your memories to THE OLD TIMER, BOX 340, FRANK-FORT. KY.) ""prdsoether ed'iVo'rs-- 1 BIGNALL JONES, editor of The Record, Warrenton, N.C., In a recent editorial typed the people of his community in relation to how they stand on com-munity Improvement and progress. Editor Jones' editorial was remark-able In that his classifications can be applied to so many home towns. Here Is what he had to say: "There are people living In War-renton who love the neighborllnes and the friendliness of the small town and are reluctant to see any changes that might destroy the at-mosphere of a delightful place In which to live. These people actual-ly do not want to see the town grow. They like it as it is. While we can not say that we sympathize with these people, we do have an appreciative understanding of their point of view. "There are other people here who would like to see the town grow provided it does not cost them anything. Their first reaction to anything that tends to develop the town is to consider the immediate effect on their pocketbook . . . "There is still another group here, a growing group, that has pride In the town and realizes that it cannot stand still, that it will either go forward or backward. Among this group are citizens who have a pride in their businesses, who want to see them grow, and realize that they can only grow through the growth of their town . . . "And finally, tbtr$ is another group, a very small one, which is like the shipwrecked Irishman who was washed up in an uncon-scious condition on the shore of an island. Regaining conscious-nes- s, he peered into the facet of the natives who had gathered around and asked, 'Do you have a government" Told they did, ha said, 'Well, I am agin it: " Politics Again Grassroots editors are still com-menting on the Minnesota primary. J. W. Kayser, editor of The Chick-ash- a Star, Chickasha, Okla., had this to say: "Not in a half century has there been a political upheaval like that which swept the grass roots, of Min-nesota . . . When over a hundred thousand folks take the time to write the name of a candidate on a ballot the politicians better take heed. The prairies are on fire . . . "Nothing now can stop the Eisenhower band wagon. It has started to roll, manned by the common folks, and when a band wagon is identified with a cer-- " tainty the politicians trample over themselves to get on board. The . next ninety days will see the greatest political scramble since the turn of the century." It's Our Money From the' Shawokin Citizen, Shamokin, Pa.: "The trouble is that when most people, especially the average man, hears anything about the national debt and taxes, it is usually in a financial stratosphere, so to speak. Not one of us can think logically in terms of tens of billions and hun-dreds of billions. . . But when we learn that the public debt lays a $7,000 burden on every family in the nation, then we have something to think about. Ifs something we can understand. , . . It's our money."
