KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON • 86 PROOF • 010 CHARIER DISTILLERY CO., LOUISVILLE, KY Meeting at the Country Club last Friday for their regular lun- cheo-n session, members cf the Southern Pines Rotary Club and a dozen or more visitors and guests heard a young Austrian woman describe economic and po litical conditions in her native land. Miss Adriana Caspar of Vienna, now a student at Woman’s Col lege of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, on a schol arship provided by the Greens boro Rotary Club, said that she thinks Austria can stand on its own feet economically and politi cally if the nation can regain con trol cf its industries which lie largely in the Russian-occupied eastern part of the country. Miss Caspar, who charmed her audience with flashes of humor during her serious discussion of Austrian problems, was introduc ed by Charlie Phillips, director of public relations at Woman’s College and past Rotary District president. Mr. Phillips was pre sented by June Phillips. Austria was described as a small country, about the size of Maine, with a population of seven mil lion, of whom some two million live m Vienna—a city which is a center of education, medicine, mu sic and culture. Located in the middle of Europe, the nation has known many wars as armies of other countries fought back and forth across it. About 73 per cent of the country is mountainous, the speaker said, making agriculture difficult and preventing use of agricultural machinery in many places. The country is not self-sus taining (agriculturally and must im.port food. Austria is still occupied by the United States, Great Britain, France and Russia, Miss Gasper said, but has one government which has a lower and upper house in the legislative branch, a prime minister and cabinet. The Communist party accounts' for only about four per cent of Aus trian voters, she pointed out. Education Education is on a high level in Austria, said Miss Gaspar, touch ing on a subject that brought forth more questions than any other in a question period that followed her talk. Austria had the earliest compulsory education system of any nation in Europe, she said. English is taught for eight years in all schools. Students start spe cializing earlier in Austria than in the United States and are al most completely on their own as university students. In answer to a question, she said that she pre ferred this system to the “mass” education of the United States, but that there are proportionately many more college and univer sity students in this country and that th§ “classroom and assign ment” method used here is no doubt designed to meet needs in this country. Festivals, fairs and the tourist industry, featuring mountain climbing. and skiing play a big part in Austrian life. Mis Gaspar reported. She said medical care under a “socialized” system is ex cellent. There are “probably more doctors than patients,” she added jokingly. The cost of living in Austria is about half what it is here, she said, but earnings are about a Tel. 2-3581 quarter of what they are in this country. Among the guests was Miss Ethel O’Brien of the New York office of the Congregational Christian Churches of the USA, who was introduced by the Rev. W. C. Timmons, D. D., pastor of the Church of Wide Fellowship. Miss O’Brien was visiting Dr. and Mrs. Timmons here. Bob Dutton was welcomed back as a member of the club. Rotarians were reminded that there will be no Friday luncheon meeting this week, because of the club’s banquet for high school basketball teams Thursday night. However, a representative of the club will be at the Country Club at noon Friday to check off at tendance by out-of-town Rotari ans who want credit for attend ing a meeting. Visitors were also invited to attend the Thursday night banquet at the Country Club. flSLD'S WE CHARGE. A FAIrT^, PRICE, THAT IS ALL " j TW0116H Jobs be LAR6E !
