stuff. We had to look at them from
the outside we weren't allowed
in"
Favorite activity of German
youngsters is cadging cigarettes
from Americans, or picking up
cigarette butts from the streets.
Schools are said to be operating but
the Hagerstown boys saw none dur
ing their four-day stay.
From Bremen the Liberty ship
crossed the channel and sailed up
the Thames to London, where the
crew got another shore leave -
which was delayed awhile at the
famous West India docks while the
young Yanks mulled over the diff
ference in currency.
The Hagerstown boys did London
in fairly traditional way - they
went to Trafalgar Square, Piccadil-
ly Circus, Westminster Abbey, and
to Buckingham Palace to watch the
changing of the Guard, a ceremony
that they missed by moments. De-
termined to see this celebrated
procedure the boys hurried to the
Admiralty, where changing the
Guard is also custom, though with
out its ancient pomp since the Guard
at both places is still in wartime
khaki instead of their normally
splendid uniforms.
They went to both American and
English movies and John, whose
father is connected with the West
ern Maryland Railroad, took a train
trip to Southan so that he could re-
port to his dad on British railways
Their trains" said John, "are nice"
London stores are fairly we'll
stocked, John says, but it does no
one much good because of the still
strict rationing. English stevedores
were amazed to see the Americans
casually eating oranges - which
they hadn't had for years. Fruit, they
told the boys, is permitted only to
children under 18, and one solitary
egg per person, per week, is the
order of the day.
The Hagerstown boys ate out only
once in London. The strange cheese
paste sandwich, and coffee made in
an urn with the cream and sugar
ration cooked in it, sent them sour
rying to the ship where the food
was good.
According to John they all learn
ed one valuable lesson on the trip
home when, during four-day
storm, the alarm rang during the
night. They all leaped out of their
hunks and made for the boat deck
attired in their sleeping clothes and
their life preservers. Before they
discovered that it was a false alarm
they were almost frozen.
Believe me" said John, ut would
pay to take a few minutes longer
and put some clothes on, even if
the ship were actually sinking!"
The Cyrus W., was due to dock a.
Savannah, her home port, but to the
great delight of the local boys, she
put in at Norfolk, instead, which
was considerably closer to Hagers-
town.
The boys, who missed few weeks
of school, are catching up satisfac-
torily on the work that they missed.
Obviously they felt that their trip
overseas was worth the midnight
oil that it may take to put them
abreast of their less adventursome
school fellows.

OF experience until one morning,
during services which I was
holding for the Jews of Leipzig
on Shovuos, Captain Steinberg,
one of the Polish officers, en-

in prayer. Greatly excited at our
reunion, he said he had obtained
a leave of absence to search for
his wife and daughter, who, he
had some reason to believe,
might be not far from Leipzig
on the other side of the Nude
River. He required permission
and transportation to cross that
river which divided the Ameri-
can from the Russian held areas
and additional permission to re-
turn with his wife and child
