Swanee River in Rothenberg By James E. Wood Back in May, 1975, my wife and I were visiting our grandson, Ed Carson, in Stutgart, West Ger many. He was in the U.S. Army, stationed at the big command post, formerly headquarters of Hitler’s panzer division under Field Marshall Von Manstein. Ed had a few days off and volunteered to drive us in his lit tle red Volkswagon to Lucerne Switzerland. It was a two-day trip and we stopped over on night in Rothenberg, a thousand-year-old walled town in Bavaria. It was utterly charming with most of the encircling wall still standing. It is a famous tourist stop with many shops and inns and good places to eat. We stayed at the Iron Helmet, which was ex citingly medieval in appearance but as modern as tomorrow in beds, bathrooms and services. That evening we went for dinner to a typical German Rathskeller restaurant where the guests, before and after eating, sat against the walls of the room in a circle, with their arms interlock ed and swayed and sang like knights of old. A man with an accordion fur nished the music and poured his soul out in nostalgic renditions of Germany’s lost causes and stir ring hSfeS for the future. The next morning 1 was up ear ly and out in the town square before anyone was there but me and a German band. I was wear ing one of those^yhite golf hats with a red, yellow and blue band. When the band leader saw that hat, he knew I was an American tourist, and they immediately struck up “Swannee River.” Never have I been so moved by any music. The horns, the flutes, the drums and cymbals, and one enormous saxaphone put on a per formance that would have made Steven Foster and E.H. Christy think they were as great as Bethoven. The way the band handled the music was fantastic. And when the lone saxaphone finally soared into orbit with: “A-l-1 this world am Sad and dre a-r-y, Ev-ry Where I Roam” it was heart-rending, and made even more so, when the entire band came together in an over whelming grand finale. I could hardly wait to applaud and go over to shake hands with the players and empty my pockets of all the cash I had. Would I like something else? They asked. Yes, “Carry Me Back to Ole Virginny,” which they Continued On Page 7-B NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS for PART-TIME & FULL-TIMF Also Looking for Assistant Manager with experience in handling money and working with public.

We have tried to feed all who come to us. We are hous ed in a donated building on Route 32. Now we are in need of help. The building which has been our home since the beginning has been sold, and we must find a new place. If anyone can aid us in our search, it would be appreciated. Someone can be reached at 482-2504 Monday, Wednesday, or Friday from 9 a.m. until noon, or at 482-3522 Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.iri.. Time is getting short, and we must move fast. The shelves in the Pantry are partially filled, but donations have been so-so. We depend solely on contributions; without them we would have to close our door. We don’t want to do that, and we don’t feel anyone else does, so please do what you can! One of the heartrending things that comes from experiences at the Pantry is the protectiveness a parent has for children. In many in stances, a parent will say, “I don’t care about myself, I just need food for my child.” One of the rewards of working here is meeting people like this. By the way, neither goes hungry, thanks to all of you who have helped thus far. , We know that the Lord will guide us in our quest for a new home, and we will keep you informed of our progress. 1986 Who’s Who students named Eleven College of The Albemarle students will be includ ed in the 1986 edition of “Who’s Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges.” John Simmons, Jr., COA dean of student development, said the group will join the ranks of the country’s most outstanding cam pus leaders.
