Sandy Ambrose Is In Holland Now,
But This Is How She Got There
Sandy, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Francis Ambrose, Elm-
crest, has been in Holland for
several months, as a foreign ex-
change student sponsored by
Rotary.
To keep the record straight,
here’s how she got there, be-
ginning with the sailing on the
Holland-American liner. A little
later, there will be more about
Sandy, who is now having a
whale of a time, fairly run off
her feet with excitement, and
employing remarkably vivid de-
scription as she tells all about
it.

On Board Ship New Amsterdam
August 10th, 1962
We are out to sea. My roommates
are both very nice. Our night stew-
ard Wim, our stewardess Jenny,
and our waiter Joop are too sweet
~ for words. They are teaching wus
Dutch and we are helping them
: with their English. We are having
| | a wonderful time on board ship.
: We reached Ireland early Thurs-
day morning. Everybody ran up to
see it. After six days it seemed odd
to see rows of mountains dotted
with winking ' lighthouses in the
pre-sun fog. I partly anticipated
~~ only several green knolls but the
hills stretched for miles—farther
than the eye can see.
As we watched the eastern sky
pinken, then redden; we discovered
that the sea breeze carried a really
| strong taste of salt to our lips and
fingers.
With this brilliant discovery in
mind we went down stairs to sleep
until we would drop anchor just
off the coast of Cobb. We couldn't
nn RR
have had a more beautiful day in
which to see Ireland. The sun shone
brightly on the white lighthouse at
the harbor entrance. Guarding the
gateway, an ancient fortress rose
from the banks of each shore.
To the right and left sat many
multi-colored houses surrounded by
neat green cushions of farmland.
At 10:00 a small white boat
brought out new passengers and we
said good-bye to our friend Bridie,
who returned to her home. We are
now on our way to Southhampton.
Ireland seems as if it were mere
ly a part of our imagination, The
calm green water has given way to
the familiar choppy blue-gray,
white capped waves once more. I
can hardly believe that I'm almost
to Holland, and that we have al-
ready crossed the ocean which
seemed to shrink a little each day.
At the same time it seems as if I
said good-bye to you ages ago and
not just a mere seven days.
7:00 Friday morning T dragged
myself out of bed in time to see
the English tug, Canute, nudge
against our porthole. We were now
in Southampton. As the sun shone
brightly and the wind whipped past
the Captain's deck, I beheld the
strikingly new scene which contras-
ted with the rough sea that had
previously dominated the view. Al-
though it was exciting to be in
England, it was not as impressive
as Ireland, not only because; it
presented ‘a typical harbor scene,
but because Ireland had been the
very first land we had seen for
days. Leaving the harbor, the im-
mense oil refinery and. small lumber
terminal gave way to green rolling
hills dotted with small brick build-
ings, a small town across the river,

About 2:00 we caught our first
glimpse of France. Salmon colored
cliffs merged gradually to unite with
grand ivory buildings which formed
a striking European skyline. We
sailed past a huge sandy beach and
were deftly guided into dock with
the aid of the experienced tugs that
swung our ship around into place.
From the land rose the innum-
erable webbed arms of the baggage
cranes reaching for the sky. Here
Dominque, Lynn Fiore, Erwin O’-
Brien and the Vanderbiltonians de=
parted. Just as we had returned to
our cabins, we spied the S.S United
States filing past our windows, and
we rushed up to the top deck. As
we chased the ship to get a picture
(it wag getting farther and farther
away) I tripped on something and
fell flat on my face to the amuse-
ment of the other passengers.
Therefore do not expect a picture of
said vessel.
The boat has been a lot of fun.
It doesn’t seem as if we will all be
leaving it tomorrow. ®
Saturday morning at 6:00 I woke
up and found myself in Rotterdam.
Just as I finished dressing, a tall
man came to the door. As soon as
I saw the smiling face of hig red-
headed wife, I knew they were the
Meyerinks. They took wus to the
deck to show us our new parents.
After breakfast we got off the ship
and went to the baggage desk.
Then we went downstairs and lo
and behold—Mr. Bonebakker, my
new father. We collected my bagg-
age and went to the Bonebakkers’
car.
IN HOLLAND
We then went to the Hudigs’
house in Qostvoorne near Rotter-
dam. This is a huge chateau-like
place made of brick and has red
shutters and a black roof. There is
many kinds of beautiful flower
gardens, vegetable gardens, a tennis
court, a gardener’s house and a
large circular drive way in front of
the home. It looks like a picture
from Better Homes and Gardens.
The house belonged to one of their
grandmothers who died in June. In
1920 the house was finished and
during the War it served as a hos-
pital. There are 18 people here at
present. They include 5 children, 3
girls approximately my age, an old-
er boy, me, and four sets of parents
including the Bonebakkers. They
are all very active athletically.
My first day I played tennis, pick-
ed blueberries, walked all over the
dunes, climbed a tower and crawled
in a Bunker, went swimming in the
ocean. That night we took a walk
and came home to watch a French
movie translated into Dutech—on
the T.V.—and if that wasn’t inter-
esting I don’t know what was.
Went to bed and woke up at 8:00
next morning when they rang the
huge dinner bell.
The Bonebakkers are very nice,
all the folks here at the house are
very friendly. It is very different to
be in a big family. I still don’t re~
member all their names. These
people are all extremely intelligent
and intellectual. I hope they like
me. They are all so nice to me. At
dinner all the young ones teach me
Dutch words. In 10 days we will
leave here to go to another place, as
the Bonebakkers’ are on vacation.
In 2 weeks we will be in Hengelo,

Places Visited in Holland During
The Month of August.
Aug. 28: Went to Den Brielle,
17th Century town close to Oost-
voorne, It is surrounded by a large
moat and ancient brick wall, com-
plete with gates at each entrance
which served as ample defense in
those days. In the center of the
town is St. Catherine Church which
alsp has survived two world wars,
Spanish. invasion, etc.. From this
building the Dutch flag was first
raised after the Spanish had been
driven out—it was the first such
symbol since the 80 year conquest.
From the tower (320 dark steep,
circular stairs higher) you get a tre-
mendous view of the orange-roofed
houses and country side. It has late-
ly been restored. In the floors are
stone slabs marking graves of naval
heroes. In the center, pews facing
a huge red organ with pipes on the
wall all capitalized by a high white
domed ceiling, and all centuries old.
While in Den Brielle we visited a
small museum.
On this day the Bregmans’ (An-
nabelle’s first family) called to wel-
come me to Holland. Sweet of them.
# seems as if iti was a phone call
from someone I had known for ages.

University of Houston under head
coach Bill Yeoman, former Army
completed one of its most
| successful seasons some time re-
| cently with a smashing 49-21 win
over favored Miami of Ohio in’ the
Tangerine Bowl, The victory gave
the Cougars a 7-4 record for the
season.
Much credit for success of the
Cougars must go to Joe Lopasky,
sophomore standout from Lehman,
Without a doubt Lopasky would
have turned in a much more bril-
liant season but injuries suffered
in the Texas A&M contest sidelined
him for the better part of the
season until the game against Mi-
ami of Ohio.
Lopasky started his college car-
eer in brilliant fashion by smash-
ing over for three touchdowns in
Houston's opener to spark the €ou-
gars to a 19-0 win over Baylor.
Lopasky followed up that perform-
ance by bringing Houston to a 6-3
upset win over Texas A&M with a
late touchdown.
It was after this game. that Lo
pasky was forced to the sidelines
with a foot injury, followed by rib
injuries and then shoulder trouble,
but Joe responded to treatment and
came up with a stellar performance
in the Cougars’ final outing.

The age of pioneers has not pass-
ed. There are still red-blooded Am-
ericans with rich heritage in their
veins, courage in their hearts and a
calm philosophy in the face of trib-
ulation.
Of such is Raymond Kuhnert, Jr.,
Idetown.
When a tragic farm accident sev-
ered his right hand and lower fore-
arm on October 28 of last year,
there were those who thought that
his farming days were over.
Few realized that to this stalwart
JOE LOPASKY
Ohio (8-1) met in the Tangerine
Bowl with Miami the favorite. After
the smoke had cleared the final
score read Houston 49-Miami 21.
The big factor was Lopasky, who
racked up four touchdowns, includ-
ing one a punt return of 68 yards.
Altogether Joe returned four punts
in the contest for 115 yards. b
Final season statistics showed
that Lopasky was leading scorer
with nine touchdowns, the most
turned in by a UH player since
1951, tops in punt returns and
ranked third in ground gaining
with 275 yards, averaging almost
4 yards per carry.
Back Mountain fans will long re-
member the name of Joe Lopasky
when he roamed the gridiron at
Lake-Lehman, espegially his senior
year whep he was the second high-
est scorer in the Wyoming Valley
with 23 touchdowns and 13 extra
points for a total of 151 points. Lo-
pasky was surpassed only in scor-
ing by Joe Taylor of the Kingston
Huskies with 154 tallies.
Among the
season was five touchdowns against
Edwardsville, four touchdowns and
four extra points against West
Wyoming in his final game and
four touchdowns and an extra
point against Northwest.

Wrecks Three Bee-Hives,
Boy Seen And Identified
Three queen bees, and workers
from three bee-hives are dead in
the snow; the honey, accumulated
drop by drop all summer to carry
the bees through the subzero weath-
er ig scattered; and the sixteen-
year-old boy who kicked over the
hives on Staub Road is wondering
when retribution will overtake him.
The boy who left tracks in the
snow after he had vented his rage
on what he thought was property
of Bill Robbins, and the boy who
wa.ted for him in his car, were
both identified:
Mr. Robbins knows who the boys
are. It was his son-in-law’s bee-
hives that were wrecked. Fifty
pounds of spoiled honey, six pounds
of bees and an expensive queen-
bee in each hive. Replacement of
the bees alone will amount to $45
| per hive.
Bill is willing to hear ‘the boy's
story before he has him taken to
Juvenie Court.

Kalinert Say ys It's Not A Disaster
ButA Challenge To A Good Farmer
young man of 32 his disability pron
sented a challenge, not a disaster.
Scorning the care and ease which
turned home after two nights at
Nesbitt Hospital. There was a herd
of forty cows to be cared for.
Healing progressed satisfactorily,
under Dr. Richard Crompton and Dr,
Ray improvised methods of perform-
ing his many duties.
With the help of neighbors, friends’
and his wife, Charlotte, he carried
on, never stooping to self pity, but
which aroused admiration in all who
knew him.
No mention of the accident or its
resulting effects were ever talked
about in the presence of the child-
ren, Sally,8, Greg,5, or baby Sandra,
three and a half. The little ones
aided in a small way and the house
hold continued to operate under a
peaceful, happy environment.
Last week Ray was fitted for an
artificial hand, stronger than most
and adjustable to the duties required
by those who cultivate the land. If
will be ready in two to three weeks,
carefully made by James Sweeney,
Alden Station, himself an ampitos
who fashions many of the prosthetig
appliances used in this area.
Ray is eager to adjust to the new
device. Spring is just around the
corner and 140 tillable acres are
waiting to be turned and planted,
He performs all of his former du-
ties, with the exception of milking.
He has been driving his tractor right
along and amazed his neighbors with
his adeptness at filling the corn
erib. pi
The Rehabilitation Center in,
Wilkes-Barre offered to train him
for what it described as a more
suitable occupation, but Ray would
have none of it. He insisted that he
be permitted to try his hand at
farming for another year, trusting
that the new appliance would solve
all present problems.
To a man who loves the soil and
its resulting harvest with the fervor
of Ray Kuhnert, there can be no
substitute.
He says, “A body can do anything
he truly wants to do. It's really not
so bad. I saw some pretty pathetic
cases over at the Center. I think Tm
lucky.”
