uw Link l l tl ra mates Iiolclfffl? From Lena. Habe1'st1'0h,i'45, New York City, New York: I made a quick two months trip to Europe last fall. We CMary Alice Swenson, '46 and Delores Sundberg, 'SOD and I went over on the liner United States and returned on the French liner Liberte. We had no advance reservations and had no difficulty getting accom- modations. In London we rented an English car and traveled around the British Isles for two weeks. Dublin wasn't especially clean but the people were very gay. Edinburgh was quiet, and Strattford on Avon was disappointing. In London the changing of the guard was spectac- ular. We were on a B.B.C. radio broadcast at the tower of London. They picked us out of a crowd, as Americans by the cut of our clothes. Because it was so inexpensive we took the car with us across the channel to Belgium and then toured the mainland with it. Besides Belgium we went to Holland which we all loved. It's so lovely there and the people are so free and simple. The drive down the Rhine was beauti- ful. We stopped in Bonn, Germany to see the capital buildings and Beethoven's home. Heidel- berg was run by the American forces. Munich was still in a state of ruins. Salisburg, Austria was quaint and interesting, Vienna dignified and lovely. The Americans were in power the month we were there. We had to pass through the Russian zone to get to Vienna and all Americans must follow one road from Enns to Vienna. The country side of Austria is clean but lonely. We traveled through mostly mount- ains in the Tyrol country. From Austria to Italy we passed through the Brenner Pass. Italy was so dynamic. Venice was an experience, Florence has so much art, Rome and its beautiful churches and ruins had so much to offer. We stayed there a week and hated to leave. In southern Italy the people were very poor and the roads are traveled by many animal drawn carts. The Isle of Capri is only for the moneyed but we enjoyed one day there. Pompeii with its ruins is very different from any other place. Two hundred men work their daily excavating. Pisa has only the Leaning Tower. Enjoyed Milana's La Scala concert and Leonardo's Last Supper. That masterpiece looks like it will not last too much longer. It was badly damaged during the war. The Italian Riviera has an unspoiled charm which is lacking on the French Riviera. While in Nice we had perfect swimming weather. In Switzerland, Geneva is a very modern city, Berne is quaint and old but well preserved. I thought Switzerland was very commercialized and not nearly as mountainous as I had expected. Paris is really a beautiful city. It is cleaner and more interesting than New York. We attended the Follies Ballet and several night clubs. One of the big events was the Christian Dior Style Show. The clothes were magnificient but of course we couldn't afford more than a pair of stockings. All in all this trip I would recommend to everyone. From Katharine Gzmnarson Rice, '39, Fair- banks, Alaska: I have been in Alaska since leaving Rochester, except for a year spent in Edmonton, Canada. My nursing background has been very useful, as we are in the flying business and get our share of the emergencies to the outlying villages. I keep a medical bag ready at all times and take it with on all our flights. We have encountered everything from babies to broken bones. To tell of all the emer- gency Hights would make a book, but one that remains with me was a plane load of children. We picked up 13 children from various villages, and flew them to Children's Hospital in Seattle. All of them were either Eskimo or Indian and all had tuberculosis. This is rather a prevalent disease here of the Natives. A great many of these children were in body casts and quite helpless, so it was a very busy flight attempting to care for them. Native children are so differ- ent from white children, they are extremely patient and uncomplaining. As you can tell from this letter, I work for my husband. We have been in business for ourselves for the past seven years. Before that my husband was chief pilot for VVien Alaska Airlaines and I was the company nurse. It was quite a step starting our own business, and it has been gratifying to watch it grow. Alaska is a land of opportunity, most anyone starting a business here can be success- full if they will work. In the summer time business is at a peak, with twenty-four hours of sunshine, the people work about twenty hours every day. This lasts for about three months, and may sound impossible, but with the con- stant sunshine one does not need as much sleep as when the hours of daylight and darkness are equal. The winters in Alaska are what dis- courage most people, for then we have twenty- four hours of darkness for many months. Added to this making it more dreary we have low temperatures, minus 50 and lower. VVhen the temperature is so low we have what is called HIC? f0g , this is caused by combustion, the moisture from the many fires burning to keep the homes warm. VVhen this occurs it is like Z1 London fog. Fifty below may seem very cold and impossible to tolerate, but in the Tanana Valley, where Fairbanks is located, it is VCYY dfy and we have little wind, so it really compareS to minus 10 in Minnesota. After eleven years we have a baby daugh- ter, she is now fourteen months old now. Best regards from Alaska.
