BY FLORENCE L. KENNEDY

Most American tourists travel
ing abroad fall into the habit of
seeing what Europeans want them
to see, or else take tour ar
ranged for the school-teacher
crowd and sweet old "Aunt Mary"
Not so with the Oliver True
family when they took their first
European jaunt this past summer.
Sailing on the lie de France in
July were Mr.. True, Mrs. True
and their son, Bud. What made
their trip different from that of
the usual tourist fare" was their
enthusiasm for living in the same
manner as the people abroad.
Their stopovers were made at the
small inns, in the out-of-the-way
towns and their conversations
were with the forgotten" people
the natives whose names never
make the headlines but whose
daily lives are very much like
tnOSe OF us living in Port Clinton.
Saw oIympies
The True family rented a
French "Citroen' automo., e
enabling them to see much of the
countryside as they drove from
LaHavre to Stockholm. Taking the
ferry from Copenhagen, they OBJ
served the castle of Helsingor, the
scene of Hamlet" While Mrs.
True remained in Stockholm. Bud
and his father flew to Helsinki
where they saw the 1852 Olym-
pic games at Helsinki stadium.
Their flight, taken on the Scan
dinavian Airways plane, brought
them into close contact with the
safety me asures taken by the line
to remain outside of the Iron Cur
tain area. The American DC-3
plane circles the Red territory and
comes into Helsinki from the
north.

Enjoy Scotch Scenery
In Scotland, the True tamily
found the country to be most
scenic of any in their trip. Miles
of purple heather stretched before
them as they toured the Scottish
Highlands. Although the ghost Of
Macbeth did not appear to them,
they had the fascinating expert
ence of staying at small way
side inn on the edge Of Shake
speare's famous Birnam Wood
They attended church at the Ca
thedral of Ely, still circled with
the defensive wall to ward off at
tack.
"Our overall impression during
our first trip abroad" said Mr..
True, twas that people over there
live very much as we do right
here in Port Clinton" Contrary to
newspaper reports, they do not
live with fear of the future-al-
though that may stem from their
many first-hand experiences in
wartime. To them, war is an old
story.
'We saw no abject poverty
abroad, people are clean and their
service to the traveller is beyond
compare in this country" stated
Mr.. True. 1--WE found also that
only few basic words of the for.
eign language were necessary, and
that English was our passport
wherever we went"
The True family returned to
New York on the S. S. Liberto
and were back home in Port Clin
ton on September IL after 1(
weeks of fascinating European
travel. WED like to go again

Toledo Man Goes
Beserk In Gypsum

A Toledo man went beserk in
the Gypsum area Sunday and was
picked UP by Sheriff Merlan Budd,
following arrest by members of
the Erie County Sheriff's Depart
ment. The man, visiting friends
in Gypsum, had been quarreling
with members of his family. He
attempted to steal three cars, in
Guiding a New York Central truck.
Failing this, he started to walk
along the railroad trestle into Erie
County where he was spotted by
the Sheriff's department. He was
returned to his family in Toledo.

Oliver True Family Enjoyed
Europe Through Native Eye

ever a whining team was an
nounced, the national anthem of
their respective country would be
played. 1t was with pride that Mr..
True and his son listened to the
"Star-Spangled Banner" played
again and again as the American
team topped opposing teams in
the Shot-Put, the Discus and Pole
Vault competition. Their expert
ence was undoubtedly shared by
the hundreds of Americans who
were in attendance at this great
est of sporting events. Leaving
Helsinki after two days of game
attendance, the family reconvened
for the next lap of their tour
which took them into Germany.
German Cities Depressing
There they found the German
cities depressing, but not so the
German people. They were most
hospitable and friendly. The cities
however, still show evidence OF
the disastrous bombings, block
after block of bombed-out build
ings still in evidence. In Cologne,
hardest hit during bombing raids
only the world famous cathedral
still remains. Nowhere was there
to be seen building over two
stories high. The British and
American zones of Germany are
seemingly contented, report the
Trues. Interesting was the exper
fence Mr.. True had while in q
barber shop in Hamburg. His bar
ber had been a prisoner 3f war in
Nebraska during the war. He men
toned his strong desire to return
to the United States, hoping tl
visit the country which he ad
mired during his internoent here
The German people are trying te
clean up their country, and ir
their common aim are finding
contentment and mutual goal.
From Cologne to Maynce the
True family toured the Rhine
River Valley, finding the castles
impressive, and the river inter
esting but not stupendously beau
tiful. Our own Hudson River il
much larger than the Rhine Riv
er, they reported.
The attitude of the German to
ward the American occupation is
one of appreciation. The stabili
zation of the German mark has
done much toward helping the
country economically.
Marshal Plan Shows
In Rome they found the wealth
er hot, discouraging them from
going further south in Italy. They
did visit Florence, however, see
ing there the statues and muse
ums which have made that "city
of flowers" one of the most en-
ticing to the art enthusiast.
Evidences of the Marshall Plar
and its reconstructive effects were
to be seen everywhere.
France captured the imagina
ton of the Port Clinton family
but their travel took them on int,
Great Britain where London i'm
pressed them as the most inter
csting city they were in while
abroad. Rationing was rigorous
prices are about the same as il
the United States, but wages ar,
about half what they are here
There is a strict tax of 40% Oh
most luxury items-curtailing cs
penditures except on the most es
sential items. Mr.. True was im
pressed by the apparent effec
that Socialist government woul
have had if continued in Grea

that the country would have bee
ruined economically if Socialisr

Insurance Salesman
APPOINTED Vice Pres.
OF United Mutual

New York {GlobaD Ralph W.
Parsons, an executive with the
Victory Mutual Life Insurance
Company since 1889, resigned this
week to accept a position as Vice
President and Director of Agencies
for the. United Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company, it was revealed this
week. Mr.. Parsons assumed his
new duties as of June L..
One of the top insurance sales
men in the country, Mr.. Parsons,
a member of the Half Million Dol
lar Roundtable of the National
Association of Life Underwriters,
during his years with Victory Mu-
tual personally produced more than
a million and a half dollars worth
of business. Under his manage
ment, nearly II million dollars
worth of business was paid for in
the company.
Born in Salisbury, Maryland, De-
cember Is, 1914, Parsons attended
the public schools in his home
town, and was graduated valedic-
torian of his high school class. He
applied for admission to Hampton
Institute, but was unable to at
tend because the death of his
father and mother forced him to
go to work to help support his
four younger sisters. Later he
studied law at night through the
LaSalle Extension University.
Mr.. Parsons interest in life in
surance was whetted when, after
the death of his father, the pro-
ceeds from small policy on his
fathers life was used to pay off
the mortgage on the family home,
provide food and clothing for the
children, and make needed repairs
on the home. He joined the Victory
Mutual Life staff in 1889.
