'State College Prettiest Spot
I've Seen,' Says British Bride
“I really think this is the pret
tiest place I’ve ever seen, and'
I’ve seen Devonshire and Corn
wall, two of the most beautiful
sections of England,” declared Mrs.
Edna Myers, British wife of Ro
bert Myers of State College, who
arrived in this country on the
Queen Mary Sunday.
“Your houses are all so beauti
ful and each one different,” she
.•dded. “In England, all the houses
ire built alike, something like,
four factory homes. And oh, your
wonderful kitchens! We had no
refrigerators or ice boxes, no
washing machines of any kind', and
lur stoves would seem old fash
ioned to you!”
Mrs. Myers comes from Nor
wich, a town on the eastern- coast
of England, in the country where
Dicken’s “David Copperfield” took
place.' She said the countryside
there is much like ours with the
fields separated by fences. She
expected to find fields of grain
and com like, in the prairie land
of the west, she added.
Norwich was bombed 1 terribly,
as was all of England, and Mrs.
Myers has many pictures to show
the devastation. She was a tele
phone operator in the City Hall,
and then served in the WAAFs for
three years.
“The food situation in England
is very bad—worse now than dur
ing the war. You have to stand
in a queue ■ for everything for
hours at a time. When you do get
to the counter, they hand you a
frozen rabbit, without a head, tail
or feet, so you just take a chance
that it isn’t a cat.
“The people even stand in
queues for horse meat. Horse meat,
has yellow fat and other meat
has white fat, and so all the fat
is removed to disguise it. Of
course, you know what it is, since
it i 9 very stringy and tough.
“We only had meat on Sunday,
and then very little. We got a
small joint, and then the leftov
ers and the bone were used the
rest of the week. We only had one
hot meal - a- day. In the evening
we would have a snack, such as
crackers and cheese, or bread and
jam with tea. Of course we have
our ‘Fish and Chips” shops, like
your french fries and hot dog
stands. We could get a meal there
once in awhile.” She didn’t have
any ice cream in six years.
Mrs. Myers thought the Statue
of Liberty was breath-taking. As
she walked 1 down the streets of
New York, she exclaimed, “Oh,
you really have bobby-soxers!
Look, there’s Eddie Bracken!”
She thought bobby-soxers were
only in the movies, as no one
wears soxs in England.
Clothing is so expensive and
requires so many points that most
girls don’t have any stockings, and
those that do, have cotton ones.
Mrs. Myers says the 'English
people really appreciate the many
kind -things the American people
SALLY'S
at KEELER’S
THE CODLEGIAN
did for them during the war.
When some English children say
The Dord’s Prayer, they say, “Our
Father, who art in America,” she
reported.
Robert Myers met his wife in
NeW York on Sunday andl they
arrived in State College Tuesday
night. They were married in Eng
land two years ago. Since that
time Mrs. Myers has been/ trying
to come to America. They will
make their home with Mr. Myers’
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Myers at
229 W; Beaver avenue.

Taxi-Driving Mother
Enters Home Ec Dept.;
Wants To Be Dietician
Driving taxi is just a means to
an end for Mrs. Pansy Parker,
32-year-old mother now enrolled
as a freshman at the College.
(For long years, Mrs. Parker
nursed an ambition to be a dieti
cian but an early marriage, and
then motherhood, eliminated high
school and college.
But she persisted and early in
1941, encouraged by her minister
and the school principal, she en
tered high school as a second
year student. Meanwhile she was
working as cook in a campus
fraternity.
(Last June she was graduated
from high school, and once again
she thought in terms of) a college
degree. In the meantime she had
changed jobs, and now she is
driving taxi—and finding most
people “kind and helpful.”
“It’s fumi to be a cabbie,” she in
sists. “I meet all kinds of people,
and they talk about all kinds of
things. Some are selfish, of course,
but most of them are kind, and
helpful.”
Mrs. Parker now fits college
into her job, attending classes in
English composition) and nutrition
when she’s not doing her taxi
stint.
Then, at night, 'when she re
joins her children—Richard, 12,
and Alan, • 9—the whole family
observes • a strict study hour.
Talking is forbidden and Mrs.
Parker’s sister, Mary Ann Spran
kle, 16, and a high school student,
is there to give advice and en
couragement.
“Yes, I’ve been discouraged,”
she says, “but I soon get over
that, and concentrate on the work
at hand. I think I can get an edu
cation, and I’m old enough to
know I can’t do it without putting
forth every effort.”
