Conditions in Germany following
World War II, living conditions as
of today and a comparison of school
systems and pupils, were discussed
by three German exchange stu
dents, at the meeting of the George
town -MillsborO Rotary Club here
last week.
Wilbur MumfOrd, chairman of
the International Relations Com
mittee, was in charge of the pro-
gram and introduced the young
speakers.
Miss Marianne Reuss, 16-year-old
girl from Bavaria, described the
schools attended by her and COM
pared the length of courses, and
the discipline of schools in Bavar-
ia and in America. A siX-year high
school course is required, she stat
ed, before attendance at college.
Should q pupil fail one subject in
the final year, he or she would be
compelled to take a whole years
work over again and a second fail
ure precMded any attendance at
college. She also described the Sc
verify and strictness of rules of
conduct and department and girls
are mot expected to even ride BIZ
cycles" She expressed amaZement
at the difference in attitude of pu-
pills toward teachers here and at
home, where pupils rise when tea
cheers enter the room" and where
the parents are constantly con-
tacted with respect to department
of pupils. She also commented
upon the freedom of action of Amer
lean pupils and their apparent in
difference to routine.
Miss Reuss is sponsored by the
American Field Service and is liv-
ing in the home of Rev. and Mrs.
Glenn B. Walter, here, while at
tending the Georgetown High
School, as a senior.
Willy Trautman and Hans Beu-
mer are both sponsored by the Ma
tiOnal Grange. Trautman, who is
living with Mr.. and Mrs. MOllOy c.
Vaughn, is attending LeWes High
School. He pointed out that the
great tragedy of Germany was the
loss of 80 million soldiers during
World War II and the lack of know
ledge as to the fate of 100000
other Germans who are still miss
ing. He stated 1.-The main object
of Germany is now the unificatiOn
of East and West Germany under
one Democratic government" He
also told of how little Communism
is found in southern Germany as
compared to other European cOun-
tries and gave a brief description
of the existing political parties in
the Germany of today.

/ He stated that more than 500 OF

while the number of farms have

major, impelling factor appears t.

our forefathers as well as the cOur-
age of farmers today, facing new
conditions and problems, a num-
Der of which he outlined He call
ed attention to how Agricultural
Science is aiding farmers of today
through experimental stations and
the USDA, and the changes science
has wrought. He said, "Agricul-
ture has made more progress in
the Z. S. in the last IS years than
in the previous IS centuries else
where in the world" He gave side
lights on fascinating stories of adj
venture in distant lands and stOr-
les of ideas that come to scientists
working in laboratories, in groups,
or in teams. He cited some of the
results of research including by
brid corn; disease-resistant crops
and better control of weeds and in
sects; the improvement in dairy
ing; more intelligent use of soils
and forests and many others. DR..
RingrOss also called attention to
better understanding of food val
ues and modern refrigeration meth
DDS. "In 1900" he pointed out,
zone farm worker produced enough
for himself and seven others; in
1860-70 one worker produced only
enough for himself and four others,
whereas today he produces enough
for himself and IA others"
He told in detail research which
has brought about improvement in
raising of hogs and other cattle
and Of the development of the brOil-
er and poultry industry and tur-
keys, especially in Sussex County,
and told of the minor revolution in
the poultry industry in New Eng
land and elsewhere to develop
white feathered, meat-type birds
In conclusion, he said, Farming is
a private enteTprise-each is his
own boss; he can be a good farmer
or a poor farmer; but science has
provided means of producing in
greater quantity, easier and more
probably. That is-in partnership
with the Lord to provide favorable

BY BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD R-Cary Grant is
unique among movie stars. His sole
interest is acting in molten pic
lures.
That may not sound unusual, bu.
ii is when you consider the activi
ties of other screen celebrities
Some, like Bob Hop eand Bing
Crosby, have many business enter
prises. Some, like Red Shelton and
Donald O'ConnCT, devote much of
their time to television.
Ida Lupino and Paul Henreid are
two of several actors who also
perform as directors, while John
Wayne, Robert Young, James Ma
sch and others have functioned az
producers. David Niven and Erro
Flynn have written novels. Many
film performers, including Fred
ric March, Ann Sothern and Rosa
lind Russell have also appeared
on the stage.
But what about Cary Grants in
tereSt in such matters? I asked
him if he yearned to direct movies.
I'D he afraid TO try" he re-
piled. 1 think enc should be cog

What about a return to the
stage?
Il don't think so. l haven't beer
on the stage for 20 years, and l
see no reason TO go back now.
Televisicn?
Nope" He firmly believes that
television entertainment will even
tually be supplied by the movie
industry and thus he will continue
doing the same thing he is now.
Grant added that he INDUCES in
no big business enterprises. What
does he do with his film salaries?
