Mrs. John Flock, state president
of the Associated Women of Farm
Bureau, has returned to her home in
Boonsboro after helping to entertain
four German women in Washington,
who were representatives of farm
bureau work in their country. They
came to the United States under
what is known as the Foreign Wis
itors Project" Two of the German
women came to Washington from
Oklahoma where they had been Wis
iting and the other two from Vir-
ginia.
After being welcomed by Mrs.
Flock and the other members of
her committee, Mrs. Elsie West and
Mrs. James King, they were taken
on an extensive tour which included
visits to both houses of Congress and
Arlington, Va. They were then the
honor guests at a picnic given by the
women of Anne Arundel County,
after which they were entertained
at the University of Maryland. Dur
ing their stay they also visited Belts
vile and tobacco warehouse and
the entire proceedings were filmed
by the State Department.
The four women, who all spoke
English fiuently, knew much about
American history, as both English
and history are taught in the high
schools of Germany. Asked what
they thought of America, their re-
ply was: ITO us it means the land
of opportunity"
