on nothing but tulip bulbs and
cattle beets" the distinguished
visitor recalled, as she told how in
spite of unbelievable hardships, the
Girl Guides of Holland carried on
work with the underground and per-
formed invaluable services as mes
sengers during the Nazi occupation.

no attention. But there was no anti
