Whenever any one of our
communities here in Western
North Carolina decides to or
ganize itself for a Community
Development Contest or some
•other purpose, it is immediat
ely faeed-with problems. But I
doubt that any of our commun
ity organizers have ever had to
wonder where to find pencils
or writing paper, or how to
care for hundreds -of homeless
refugees making up one-fourth
of the whole community popu
lation.
These are samples of the
problems faced by a small com
munity near Heidelberg, Ger
many, in 1948 when Wolfgang
Grimmig helped organize a
Community Council for this
home village. If you readthis
column last week you will re
member Wolfgang as the young
man who is studying for a
career in reconciling differen
ces among conflicting groups
of people.
“He had worked in a volun
teer fire brigade during the
war and realized that even in
dire emergencies people could
not always cooperate readily.
With all the problems facing
his community in the after
math of war, he and others
felt the need of closer coopera
tion among neighbors if the
community hoped to survive.
“We had nothing in those
days,” Wolfgang recalled, “not
even paper and pencils. The
United States Information
Service furnished these and
was most helpful to us in
other ways.”
The Community Council was
(formed along lines that are
I familiar in many American
communities, by* having each
organization in the village elect
two representatives to the
Council. To keep from giving
too much influence to any group
of leaders, these representativ
es are changed annually. Com
munity needs were studied and
action initiated to meet the
needs. One of the Council’s
projects was the reviving of an
old-time celebration, the Prune
Festival, which had been allow
ed to die out. Prupes from this
district were already famous
all over Germany, and the an
nual festival has given a boost
to community spirit.
This same Community Coun
cil succeeded in getting a pub
lic swimming pool built, in
constructing a waiting station
for workers who ride the
streetcars, in securing needed
repairs on the public school, in
H Mil
TjX>R something different, pop

parboiled green pepper halves and

something special.

them with a hall a marshmallow.
Put into the oven long enough to
brown the marshmallow.

Drained crushed pineapple added

wonderful treat for cupcakes or
even spongecake.
Add some mustard to your
thick white sauce and pour this
over sliced hard-cooked eggs and
dlfed ham sitting on a piece of
toast. It makes a wonderful hot
sandwich for a chilly day. ,
Veal ihops need flavor when
they’re braised, so add a split

tomato sauce diluted with a bit of
water and add a pinch of oregano.

*■ —a
k
dete\ts!ng‘ a cwnfeimffy calen
dar ab that the' vucftW organi
zations ,6an take account of
each other’s schedules-in plann
ing events. “The Council is the
only platform,” says Wolfgang,
“where different groups in the
community can meet and try to
understand each other.”
Set down in cold type like
this, the 15<»t of accomplish
ments of a certain small com
munity in Germany may not
sound too impressive. But if
you could have heard Wolf
gang tell how these things
came into being, and what they
meant to his fellow' community
members' in better living,' hap
pier families and new hope in
a period of despair, I am sure
you would have found his de
scription as moving as I did.
He did not dwell unduly on
the difficulties and sacrifices.
But anyone can fill those in just
firom a general knowledge of
conditions in a war torn coun
try and from certain facts
which Wolfgang mentioned in
passing—like the paper and
pencils, and the 1500 refugees
of a population of 6000 in the
community. These refugees
came from East Germany,
Czechoslovakia, and Hungary.
Also, if you could have heard
Wolfgang’s his own
words you wpuld have felt, as
I did, a spiritual kinship with
this group of unknown people
in another land who are striv
ing so hard for the same goals
as we are right here ,in our
small communities. /It makes
one realize how important
small communities can be—
here and all over the world
in building real, grass-roots
democracy, and how much it
matters what kind of commun
ity-building job we do at home.
At one point in the conver
sation I could not help remark
ing to Wolfgang how familiar
his community sounded, and
yet how much greater their
problems were, in comparison
with ours here in Yancey
and other Western North Caro
lina counties. He replied, “Yes,
and we didn’t have the demo
cratic tradition the way you
did. We imported it. But we
find it is the best way, if you
work it put.”
He Was greatly interested in
hearing of efforts in this area,
especially in such things as the
Challenge program and the
Community Development Con
tests. Since the conversation
was held just before his de
parture for a sixrinonths stay
in California, he did not have
time to observe these programs
at first hand. But he may re
turn to this area before start
ing home to Germany.

STATE FARM BANK PLAN
Users Report Actual savings
From $73.00 to $288.00
Call me before you buy your next car • . • whether it is “new”
or “used”. I’ll be glad to make arrangements for low-cost
financing through a nearby bank Before you sign any
thing you will know exactly what you are paying for— and
•can choose the repayment method best suited to your budget.
Then is the saving on your insurance. Many Bank
Plan users report savings of from S4O to SBO on the insurance
costs alone during the time payment period on their cars. If
you will let me arrange this money-saving service for you
you become a “cash” buyer —with all the advantages of
having the “cash in hand” when you are talking to your car
-'dealer.
With the State Farm Bank Plan you may save enough *on your
financing and insurance costs to pay for—an extra set of
tires, seat covers and car radio, part or all of your insurance,
°r enough for gas and oil for a coast to coast trip.
