DISTRICT WOMEN
HEAR REPORT ON
EUROPE RECOVERY
Miss Preinkert Gives Interesting
Data on Recent Trip Abroad

Progress in international under
standing, and promotion of intcna-
tional relations through Interchange
Of ideas on methods and programs,
were topics discussed yesterday after
noon by Miss Alma II. Prcinkcrt,
president of the Maryland Federation
of Women's clubs.
Miss Prcinkert just returned from
Europe after participating in a world
cooperation tour, and was principal
speaker at the meeting Of the First
District of the Maryland Federated
Women's clubs at the WilIiam-James
hotel
Those participating in the world
tour met women from every country
visited and investigated the attitude
of people to E.C.A. and what it has
done for them.
Miss Preinkcrt outlined some of
the high spots of the trip. The British
government arranged meeting for
them with leaders Of all womcn's
organizations. In Denmark the group
found the people gay and happy, hav-
ing come back quickly from the eff
fects of war. Literacy there is 100
percent with people thrifty and little
poverty.
In Holland she found the Dutch
still bitter from the way the Germans
had treated them and were recuperat-
ing slowly. The group was enter
tanned by Queen Juliana. The palace
was visited at The Hague where An
drew Canagie gave money toward
its construction.
People in Germany she found to be
fearing Russia. Housing was des-
clibed as terrible with space limited D
for each family. Club work was found
to moving slowly there Switzerland
was described as a place of peace by
neutrality and defense, but prosper
Gus and beautiful. Absolute democra-
cy is practiced there with every refer
endum referred to the people by the
government. Poverty was evident in
Italy with housing problem and the
place densely populated. Miss Preink-
ert felt that the stand of the United
States in regard to Korea had
boosted the morale Of Europe to a
high degree.
She felt the people of the United
States had so much to be thankful
for, with no worry about food, free
to worship God, free to do so many
things, with no ruins from devasta-
ton of war.
A silent prayer for peace the world
over by the entire group present, was
held following Miss Preinkerts adj
dress.
A business session was held We'd
nesday morning in the assembly room
of the Lutheran church with Mrs.
Ray Brown, president in charge

district were given from Westmin-
ster, Westernport, Sykesvillc, Oak
land, Frederick, Cumberland The

both Junior and senior clubs. District
charmen also gave brief reports.

man of a new committee, Living
Later Years." covering the care of
the aging and aged, outlined the work
of this group.
