Armed G.I.s stood on guard. This was a train to bring shame to any German with a conscience. It was to bring tears of joy to the eyes of many Poles. For aboard was Polands greatest art treasure, the Wit Stwosz altar, being returned to its home, the Church of Our Lady, in Cracow, from where the Germans had looted it. This trip was the end of a mission begun in 1939. In August of that year the international situation had reached such a critical stage that Prof. Charles Estreicher of the fine arts department of the University of Cracow decided that steps should be taken to safeguard the altar from possible looting. Consequently, he supervised the packing of the sculptures in great wooden cases which were placed on barg.es and then floated down the Vistula to Sando-- i mierz. however, the By Germans had found all the boxes.

Veit Stoss is the German spelling of Wit Stwosz. Both Germans and Poles claim the artist as one of their nationals. The fuehrer ordered that the altar should be set up in St. Lawrences Lutheran church in Nuernberg. That meant that the framework which had been left in the Church of Our Lady in Cracow had to be torn out and brought to Germany.. The pieces were unpacked ih Nuernberg. Then it was found that the Germans had miscalculated again the altar was too large for St. Lawrences church. It now became necessary to find a safe place in which to store the unpacked treasure.

Some thought it was a tame bear with a gray collar of some kind. Others said it was a freak and actually had a white ring of fur around its neck. Joe Szydlo solved the riddle when he shot the bear. The white ring was paint. It is believed that the bear, in its raids on garbage and other pails, had got his head into a paint bucket, probably tipping it over on his head. The bear could wipe the paint off its face with its paws, but must not have been able to wash his neck. mid-Septemb- TOO LARGE . . .

Silesian miners were brought in to lengthen the corridor which begins in an obscure little house near where Albrecht Durer lived and slopes downward until the passage cut through the solid rock is some 100 feet under ground. The Polish underground kept track of the altar, reporting its whereabouts to Professor Estreicher who had gone to London. There-camthe raid on Nuernberg and Poles waited anxiously to know whether the altar had been destroyed as the castle above it had been. The tunnel had been a safe place and the Wit Stwosz work was unharmed. ' Last October, Lt. Frank Albright of the monuments and fine arts division of military government, and a former professor of archeology at Johns Hopkins began supervising, with the help of Professor Estreicher, the long task of preparing the altar for shipment to Poland. Carries Art Treasures. On April 28, 1946, the train was ready to leave for Cracow with the altar, furniture and typewriters that had been stolen from the University of Cracow; 2,000 chalices and monstrances from which the gold had been looted; da Vincis Lady With Ermine, and Rembrandts Landscape, together with other treasures that had been taken from Poland by Nazi Governor-GenerFrank. I had had nothing to do with bringing back the altar to Poland. But I wore an American uniform, and that was enough to include me in the little group on whom the Polish people lavished their gratitude. I was handed bouquets of flowers. The children clapped and cheered as I walked by. They sang. One handsome young blonde boy, about 14, reached his hand through the crowd and taking mine, said in English: Youre a reporter.

Recently a tornado ruined crops west of Granger, destroying stands of corn and other crops, including those of Louis Hanzelka and Julius Cepcar. Working almost as fast as the tornado, six neighbors with tractors volunteered to help Hanzelka and Cepcar replant the two farms. They showed up bright and early in the morning, and by night the fields had been plowed and planted. The eight tractors were manned by Hanzelka and Cepcar and Paul Repa, Albert Repa, Adolph Naizer, Willie Pekar, Louis Hajda and Hubert Gourbec. After the fields were put in shape the ground was planted to cotton and feed. Thats what a little neighborly will do! MID UP RED MOOD TO GET MORE 8TOGC36TO If your blood LACKS IRON! jobs.
