D. A. R. Met With Mrs. Evan Crawley Washburn Chapter of D.A.R. met Tuesday evening, April 19th With Mrs. Evan Crawley, who was assisted by Mrs. Walter Evans, Mrs. William Boatright, Mrs. Melvin Gaston and Miss Nan Robbins. The Regent, Mrs. Robert McCullough, opened tjjie meeting and the reports of the officers were heard. Mrs. McCullough also announced the district meeting to be held in Terre Haute April 17th. A plot of Forest Hill cemetery, which had been prepared by Mr. William Boatright, showing the location of the graves of former members of D.A.R. was presented to the chapter by Mrs. Boatright, and a rising vote of thanks was given to Mr. Boatright. The following films were reported as being shown in Greencastle in the near future: A Star is Born with Judy Garland and James Mason in leading roles; Bridges to TokoRia; and Country Girl featuring Bing Crosby, William Holden and

Grace Kelly.

Mr. Gerhard H. Zuther, a graduate student at DePauw and a

native of Germany, gave the talk m the subject of “My Impressions of the United States." Coming to New York in 195l, he was mazed and rather bewildered at he great distances and vastness of the county. The speed of traffic and life in general was confusing. He said as a people \ye nurry to do a good deed; to make money; to get divorces and are sometimes in such a hurry that we are not very polite. The selfdiscipline he found quite remarkable. Watching traffic on Broadway—he thought several thousand people must be killed each day in accidents and was surprised to learn that there were very few casualties. The organization, even in grocery stores, was surprising and he says that cne of his favorite past-times is wheeling a cart around a supermarket and filling it from the well-loaded shelves. Another thing that he thought was very fine was the integrity of people in general. We do not fear to put things in cars and ’eave them unlocked. In foreign lands, he said even bicycles must be locked to a lamp-post or similar object with not one but two padlocks. He also commented on what he called the “unhealthy respect for authority” found in foreign countries which he contrasted with our regard for the police and state troopers as protectors. He mildly gave some adverse criticism of the fact that we are “touchy’ ’about any criticism by foreigners which he felt might often lead to a healthy discussion of conditions. As for communism, he feels it does not have a chance in the United States. The communist doctrine is spread where there is want and discontent and, while there are some “have-nots” in this country they do not have a destructive or embittered attitude. Schools have a scholastically lower standard than in Europe —this is because of the mass education here and our schools are on a practical basis to help the great majority and not the intellectual minority. No place in the world is there such fine community spirit but be feels that the German family life is superior to ours. American women are smarter but not as charming as European women. He summed us up as an optomistic, dynamic and very resourceful people and ended by stating that the American philosophy was “the belief in the common man’s capacity to achieve uncommon things.”
