At The Rotary Oub
George Creekhrarhad Charge of
the program for the meeting, Tues
day night. He presented Donald
Baucom as his speaker- Donald, who
made a trip to Eampe the past sum
mer gays a very interesting account
of his visits hi Nurenburg, Paris
London and Florence, four of the
cities which he stated, were more re
presentative Europe at this time.
While in Paris he spent three weeks
with a Davidson schoolmate who is
attending the University of Paris
Utfng with a Freoeh family for
those three weds he had a good
chance to find out how. the French
felt, thought and acted, and lived in
regard to the rest of the world. The
city itself, says Donald, is beautiful
with its wide streets avenues trees
and shrubbery.. He enjoyed the trip
to Paris very much.
London was different, foggy, dirty,
tie people lees friendly, foil of critic
ism or th* U-&A. Tim nights were
more bright. He sa£d, "It seemed
strange how a efty could change from
a dull, ugly place to such a bright
and entertaining atmosphere.”
Florence, Italy was very Interest
ing. Here was tim oldest culture of
Europe, soma of the greatest artist in
the world. Ftavnes waa typical of
Italy, the people seemed lazy, ate a
lot, did not care too much about eco
nomic conditions, but rather how to
live to get the moat enjoyment'out of
life with the greatest esse; not in a
hurry to make money as tim Ameri
cans ate. There were few middle
class peopte, they were either very
rich orrery poor. There was no ap
parent outward beauty to Florence,
the streets were dirty and dusty, the
braidings drab, but»inside they were
beautiful structured that were well
cared for, and beautiful works of art
were on display in them.
Donald spoke of visiting-Germany
but did not think the cities of Ger
roomy were toe npresenjuuivas or
Germany, because of the post-war
conditions time.
Donald suggested that anyone
planning h trip abroad would enjoy
a trip to Europe and he would tike to
go avrin. '
