Vienna Surgeon
Nov PeddIes Cakes
To Earn Living

There is a man who was at one
time an eminent Vienna surgeon
now reduced to the making and
selling of cakes in Seattle for liv
ing. And he now Is as excellent a.
cake maker as he was once SUI
perior surgeon. That was one Of the
interesting pictures of life as it is
lived today in this world of tur-
MOL, related by Miss Virginia Trum-
BILE, expert in social service, who
spent the weekend in Libby visit
ing with her uncle and aunt, MIR.
and Mrs. Chas. ID. Rowe. Miss
Trumble was on her way to Mime
apolis on leave of absence from her
work in Washington, in order to
take up further studies SO as to Sc
sure her, masters degree at the
Minnesota state university, of
which institution she is a graduate.
After her graduation, she at once
embarked in her chosen profession
of social service work in the Twin
Cities Four years ago she removed
/ to Washington where she had ac-
cepted a position with that state in
social service work. She now holds
the position of supervisor having
general supervision of social serv-
ice work and the training of new
employees.
The former Vienna surgeon is one
! of the many Jewish refugees forced
out of their former homes by the
persecution of the present German
/ government. He came to Seattle but
was prevented from engaging in the
4 practice of his profession because OF
certain regulations as to residence
and otherwise. Forced to make
living by some means, he turned
to, the making of cakes and peddling
them from house to house in the
city 1t turns out that he is an ex-
cellent cake maker and is building
up large business. He is now
planning for a larger plant and a
growing business Hats off to hlml
But what a commentary on life! a
surgeon peddling cakes from door to
door in a city, for living
Miss Trumble says there is quite
a number of Jewish refugees IN Sc
attic. Almost without exception,
she says, they are ambitious and
hard workers. They are most anXi-
Gus to excel in their work and tc
advance, and she is confident many
/. of them will make a success in thell
new homes here in America.
Miss Trumble also talks most in

in the handling of delinquent chill
