German Lad Exchange Student At Monmouth

Were you to ask Heinrich Mann, 16-y ear-old student to Monmouth high school, why he volunteered to come to this country he would probably answer, “For adventure.’’ Were you to ask his to the Monmouth junior class what they thought of Henrich, they’d doubtlessly mumble something like, “He’s all right.” Indeed, the class thought enough of Henrich to give him their class ring; it will be a symbol of friendship in the future. For Henrich’s future is in Germany. He is in this country as an exchange student' and is slated to return to his native land once the school year is ended. He is currently living in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Mann (no relation, merely a coincidence), of route 2. Heinrich is the youngest child of three sons and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Mann, Krs.

p Marburg/lahr, HessenjGermany. | ’Characteristically, |is family i farms, but following iGerman cuaf tom, lives in a village ' One of the stdinbllng blocks for' k Heinrich—the usual ; ane—is the I language difficulties, | but ’ tastruc- , tors in the Monmouth School say he ; is overcoming th|s readily. Perhaps an ablte assist to better English—a subject to #hich Heinrich and_his brothers wtre briefly exposed In Germany,—that enabled him to Understand abbreviated conversations when he irrlved last July, but didn’t allow him to answer too freely., ' ' Now, if Heinrich doesn't know \ the meaning of an English word, he simply asks his classmates to interpret for him. He is aided, also, by the fact that' many Monmouth students cornel from German families and have a knowledge of that language. To come here, Heinrich had to pass a stiff examination to qualify for the rating of an exchange student. Questioned about his wish to come here, Heinrich - shrugged and said, “I wanted to see how you did things in America.” Then he added that It wan adventure as jmuch as anything, t \i He said that he is not! homesick, probably because of tire thought • that he will soon be returning to his home. But' he does discuss (Christmas, saying that to his country his people make much over ‘yuletide; indeld, he explained, they have two Christmases. Another assist for Heinrich, perhaps logically/ has been his typing -classes where he* is becoming an adept student of the art of placing a finger on the keyboard and making the proper mark oibj! the paper. 3t has added to his sentence know- - ; ledge‘, to the formation of, words. Heinrich was brought to this jcountry through the auspices of the ‘Brethren church, Kirkland township, which be attends, although ire is a Lutheran. ; The youth will leave One day for Germany, and possibly he will take with him the answer of how they do things in America. Maybe he’ll took at such- a thing as a junior class ring, and remember many things. Perhaps someday he will tome to learn that is the answer to everything. The late financier Thomas W. Lawson built on his “Dreamwold” Estate at* Egypt, Mass.;, a 30-foot t brick towir to house a carillon. J I' r 1 _

Soviet Bloc Opposes ’« ♦ - Atom Control Plan Oppose Baruch Plan For Working Basis ' Paris, Dec. 17—(UP)—'f’he Soviet bloc opened a new campaign today to prevent the majority* backed Baruch atomic control plan from' forming the basis of the work, of the projected United Nations disarmament commission. At the same time, .the' western big three proposed that Brasil, Iceland, The Netherlands, Pakistan and Poland form a neutral UN commission to determine whether freedom actually exists in all parts of Germany. The commission wpuld recommend methods of holding a truly democratic, allGerman election. ; j Poland formally proposed in the main political committee that the genera] assembly set up the new disarmament commission without defining its assignment. The Polish resolution would merely forward to. the 12-nation group the sharply divergent east and west disarmament blue-prints. As matters etand now, the west Insists that the UN specifically instruct the commission to use the Baruch plan as a foundation for its work, until something just, as good is brought forward. The Russian blueprint, on the other hand, would instruct the commission specifically to draw up a treaty by Feb. 1 sos putting iuto effect an immediate and unconditional ban on the atom bomb. Polish delegate Stefan Wierblowski, in making his proposal, warned that an attempt to “impose" the Baruch plan on the new commission “would now be likely to nullfly the achievements" of . the 10-day big four parley, “small ■ as those achievements were.” In the special political committee, where Germany was being considered, Britain’s Sir Gladwyn jebb said all the western powers 1 want is “that light should be directed towards any murky corners that may exsit to any part of the two Germanies.” Jebb excluded the possibility that the matter could be settled through all-German talks, “to theory” he said, “this seems reasonable, but in practice the east German population have, as we believe, no administration that ; is representative of their wLbee and intentions.” “f ,

Value Os Dollar Is Shrinking Steadily Statement By Bank Shows Lower Value Washington, Dec. 17. —(UP) — It I would be un-patriotic to say that a United States government bond is not a safe place to put your money. It would be a false statment, to boot. But the way the United States dollar is drooping these days, ’it would be mighty difficult to prove that a government bond is really a good investment. An investment is the putting of money into something for Income or profit. Government bonds pro* duce income all right, but whether they provide the owner with any real profit is riot so evident. i Authority for that statement ckh be found to the national city bank’s Deceifcber letter on economic con ditioils and government finance. The remarks that the value of the dollar (s shrinking and continues to do sb. This shrinkage has been at the rate of about five percent a year ! of late and the dollai- now\is worth 1 only 53 cents in comparison with i its purchasing power some years 1 ago. , i , The bank considers! this fact in f relation to the prudtnt man or i woman who saves and\who, maybe, ; pur the spare money in government i bond®. Os the saver, the bank says: [ THe ruefully compares the 2to i 2.9 percent he;- can get on govern-. [ men', bonds v;ijth the five percent a ’ year average late of shrinkage li< i has been experiencing to the value 1 of his money.” i The dividend rate is far short of 1 merely covering the average rape i of shrinkage. And whether putting [ money up for such as that is really ! a profitable and income producing [ inveetment seems to be, at least, » open to question, [ Buying a government savings t bond or any Other bond is a lot, [ better than squirreling your money F away in a backyard tin can. Also ! safer, ‘ But "the way things are going ’ now, when you step up to the cash ’ window to collect on the $25 sav- ! Ings bond for which you laid out j $18.75 just 10 years ago, your $25 » really is worth less than your [ $18.75 was .way back yonder. I The disease eats away the [ real value of an investment in > bonds is called infla* ! tiom When it gets going to any nq, ’ tion in a big way it hits mighty ! near everyone. It is more deadly J than the plague, and causes much ! moire suffering because the suffer- ; tog last longer than with most diseases. Among the first remedies usually i prescribed is for government to live strictly within its income—something which hak been accomplished to the United States only twice to the past 20 years. 4-H Club Members Enroll By Jbn. 1 Four-H club members in dairy, swine, and beet project, who wish to assure , themselves an opportunity to exhibit at the state fair should enroll before January 1, states courity agent L.

Sheriff, Deputy • Blossom Out In Ik' Snappy Uniforms First there Was the blinding flash, then the feeling that perhaps everything happens for the best. At lea«t, one realizes that it is imposing, and there Is much to be said to favor of it. It, to this case, being the clothing of a of county officials who are going their usual rounds these days the subject of some long, low whistles. Also the subject of considerable comment. The comment ranges from "It’a snazzy”—whatever that means —to “It’s about time.” , ’ The iong, low whistles and the arp the result of sheriff Bob Shraluka And deputy Jim Cochran being dressed In the new, official sheriff’s uniform which they’ve owned since the latter part of last week. . Biege and brown, expertly combined, are the colors of the uniforms, adopted by the state’s sheriffs, in order not to conflict with the l|lue of state and city police rind (he green of conservation officers: . t j The new uniforms—op the offi-cers-—were properly initiated last Friday. Then sheriff Shraluka and deputy Cochran were given proper? respect.
