Had a delightful morning so far, used the huge soft "hot towels" after a shower, drank American coffee, which coffee-maker Peggy carries along.
Then to the huge mirrored dining room overlooking a canal where 7 waiters gave us the treatment of Dutch ham, hot cross buns, cheese, and bundles of Dutch Tulips. Speaking of tulips, we are early yesterday we took a "Personal Heller Tour" of tulip gardens from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and as usual, I purchased some new bulbs the huge new Yellow President Kennedy stands 3 ft, high, 8 inches across the top. Should I tell you the day was sunny the first one in months.
It's raining today, so we are seeing art galeries and museums. Our driver took us by a Shell driving school for children where everything is in miniature, except bicycles, where children learn to ride, use signals, etc. and here in this land of many, many bicycles. The homes are modern brick and so clean with bed linen hanging out to sun. The drives along the dykes are of interest because as you look at the fertile fields under high production and cultivation, every once in awhile you see a sand dune that has not been reclaimed.
This is a land of constant battle against the water. We even drove on a beautiful four lane "autostroso" under a canal. Five room houses rent here for per month. SHOE FACTORY We visited a wooden shoe factory. They use tough wet willow wood and they have a point in that when they are finished they are waterproof and comfortable.
They can chop off special lasts and build an arch support. Thirty percent of the people still use them. The mold was of interest using one shoe, then worked out on a lathe. The Cobbler was of the fourth generation. Then over to the flower market a good day because 'twas a sales day for potted plants and tulips and carnations.
The bulbs and flowers have made a great change, here because 3 miles away is the Trans World Airlines where most of them are shipped to London, Rome, Paris, in hours by the airplane load. Carnations are triple in price this year because spring is late. We saw the bidding of flowers by auction. They reverse the American way by using top prices, then down the scale all bidding done by lots, shuttled in on carts 4 ft. by 10 ft.
covered high with blooms. 'Twas a gradener's holiday--truly an experience, though only Hollanders can bid at the auction--no foreigners. The potted plants are ridiculously low i in price because everywhere you go you can see them in the windows of the homes. DAFFODIL FIELDS Then hurriedly on to Hoarlem where fields of dafodils were in bloom. In addition to the bulbs, the daffodils are used for around the neck, similar to the way they use Hawaiian orchids.
Also, think of this they are so abundant they use blooms for fertilizer! The Garden Kenkenhof (near Lieden) where growers and landscape architects display their goods and talents was truly another great experience. We were early, but it was sunny and warm and Peggy is a fine companiontraveler, as well as a good sport. We enjoyed the vista, arrangements and the great green houses filled with the prime plants and Airport Park Will Get Name of Castle Pioneer U.S. AIR FORCE OPEN FOR INSPECTION This was the scone dur- Base.

0.1- Hoover Back To Thrill AFD Castle Crowds blooms. We purchased strip prints because I find they are better. Our movie camera we sent home broken so 'twill be our word pictures plus the strip films that we will share with you. We saw flowers come in in barge loads from the window. For lunch yesterday we were taken to one of the oldest restaurants in Holland.
Truly a beautiful spot the food was of gourmet variety and it was hard to stop eating. IN ROME ROME Amsterdam to Rome via KLM. We flew at 22.000 feet to 35,000 feet with a stop at Zurich and arrived in Rome at 3 to find our reservations gone. But you know Peggy the Italians, S.A.S. Agents, Hotel Managers free drinks and we are in a little late, but we are accommodated with a five room place, clean.
close to everything, but the big disappointment no mail. Rome is busy. As we passed old ruins on way in from airport, which was 45 minutes from town. you could see the tourists flocking in to be here for Holy Week. There is NO ROOM anywhere.
We checked into tours of the city, but think we will plav it bv ear. The opera is a sellout tonite. so maybe a good dinner, a bath and off to bed and tomorrow is Good Friday and we want to go to the for the day. Today we traveled slowly, enjoying each minute the flight over now -covered Alps, the German people sitting behind us the excellent fillet steak, little potatoes, Swiss chocolates. etc.
Coming in on bus we passed the typical free market with flower stalls filled with Dutch flowers flown in this morning all kinds of meats vegatables cheese old junk and speaking of junk, after a delightful visit to our favorite art gallery we visited the junk areas of Amsterdam, including a Dutch Drug Store! Found more stuff our bags are loaded. Will be glad to dump it and start again. Of interest the conceiguin not the desk clerk, but the old boy who mails your mail, arranges your tours just like a mother, and as I said before in 45 minutes Peggy is calling them by their first names and off we go just like getting a hair appointment. "Impossible, Madam Imposible but well maybe O.K. Ja." so off she goes.
The custom officials and rules between countries are strict, but as our "boy" says, act like little Lord Fountleroy and tell them only what they talk," I am finding is a good rule. Traveling by twosomes is a heck of a lot easier than in a group. You move as a unit through congested turnstiles. We constantly check our passports, money, tickets and today we put them in hock in the hotel safe. Now all we will worry about is having fun.
One never realizes how great an American Passport is till you lose one or see a person without one. I think that it is the greatest of all experiences to present it to customs or as we have to do at each hotel to check also at airline offices. Don't know whether I spoke of the Representative from state of Pennsylvania we spent many hours with him talking of problems of Americans. He spends 10 months of year over here--knows everything and everyone has made and changed reservations for us surely we are on a gifted tour. Bob Hoover, a former test pilet and master of split -precision aerial maneuvers, is expected to bring many a gasp from the throng expected to attend the Armed Forces Day program at Castle Saturday as he demonstrates him skill with the famed F-51 Mustang The F-51, which gained its fame during, World War II as one cf the U.
S. top fighter planes, will be a stranger 10 most children who have become accustomed to the jet age, but will bring back memories to most of these children's fathers who saw Air Force duty. Hoover, who i is employed by North American Aviation as manager of Customer Relations, is a graduate of both Air Force and Navy test pilot schools and saw action in North Africa during World War II as a pilot. Despite flving with the Air Force, his combat time was logged at the control of the British Spitfire. The skilled flier has appeared at previous Armed Forces Day programs at Castle, but in the past.
he has piloted F-86 Sabrejets and the F-100 Super Sabre. This will mark his first appearance in the engine- propelled F-51. Hoover is scheduled to arrive at the Armed Forces Day observance at 2:15 p.m. Saturday with his aerial maneuvers scheduled for 3 p.m. as a climax to the all day program.
CHEVRON CHEVPON TIPS "Mom, is he washable?" No car or truck is too big for us to wash lubricate. We go "all out" and "all in" be. sides. Inside and out your car is clean when we do the job.

Members 01 the City Council also will attend the dinner at 7:30 p.m. at the firehouse. Chuck Burford, chamber president, will be in charge. The dinner will be held to promote community relations and to give the Chamber opportunity to press appreciation for the devoted service of the city employees. High Wire Stars Billed For Elks Circus May 18 Rudy Bros.
Circus returns Merced again, with an -new show for 1962. Two performances, 4 and 8 p.m., sponsored by B.P.O. Elks, No. 1240, will be given at the Merced County Fairgrounds, tomorrow. The circus will benefit the Elks' cerebral palsy fund, according to Fred Bardini, chairman.
Atwater members of the lodge are selling tickets. Probably not a half dozen highwire stars in the circus world day would respond with anything but a cold stare or fast action with flying fists if suddenly they were called "funambulists." But Webster defines "funambulism as the art of wire-walking or ropedancings." Starring with the 1962 edition of Rudy Bros. circus is a troupe of the most "fearless Funambulistic performers the world has ever known." John and Carla Jordan and their wire-walking colleagues have just finished a long run in New York City's famous Latin Quarter. They are making their I first tour with Rudy Bros. Circus.
