A aa i PAGE SIX by Charlot Denmon About seven -weeks ago, Mrs. Max Dreher of Park Street, Dallas, flew to Austria to visit her rela- tives in Lustenau. A native of Austria, she came to this country years ago to marry her husband, who came to the United States from Germany. Mrs. Dreher visited her relatives in Austria for about a month, then left to come home and with her she brought a pleasant sur- prise for her family and also for her brother, who resides in the Bronx, N.Y. Her niece, Brigitte Schreiber, second oldest child of her brother, Rudolph, returned to America with her aunt for a three weeks visit. Brigitte, whose father is an embroidery manufacturer in Austria, has an older brother, Fritz, younger brother, Kurt, and a younger sister, Gabriele. She is the first of them to visit the United States. “It was a long trip,” Brigitte said, ‘‘eight hours in that big plane-a 747.” Of course, she does not speak English and since the Post reporter had only three were grateful for the assistance in translation by Brigitte’s aunt, Mrs. Dreher. ; Only 19 years of age, high school and is now in her second year of studying opera and concert music at Madchen Haupt Schule in Lustenau. A talented singer she has been soloist in church and at numer- ous weddings. She has been featured in Austrian publications. She hopes some day to appear as soloist in this country. She was greatly im- pressed when she arrived in New York City at the vastness of the city, the crowds of people, traffic and, most of all, the high buildings. She will never forget the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State building, and the Chrysler building. They had great impact. Her uncle, who lives in New York, met Brigitte and Mrs. Dreher at the airport. Brigitte visited with him and his family for three days, then came to Dallas three weeks ago last Sunday where she is stay- ing with the Drehers and enjoying the company of her cousin, Susan, and her friends. She adjusted to the Back Mountain way of life very easily for it reminds her of home. Brigitte is amazed at the friendliness of the people in this area. She said “They treat me like they have known me always.” Despite the inclement weather since she has been many places including the Mall, shopping centers and Classes, i Wilkes-Barre shops where she has found some favor-, ite clothes to take home with her. She finds the American styles are more advanced than at home in Austria. According to Brigitte, they do not get American styles for at least two years after they have been in American stores. At home in Lustenau, the girls wear more dresses than slacks. They do wear jeans, she said, but not as often as here and never when they . go out. Brigitte has met many of Susan’s friends and this past Sunday, Robin Templin and several other friends took her to Harveys Lake. The lake reminds her of Lake Bodensee at home, although that is much larger than Harveys Lake. Many boats are on Lake Bodensee including cruisers which carry passengers from one place to another. J She finds American schools much like those in Austria. There they have two years of kindergarten and more sub-divisions than elementary, inter- mediate and secondary. While in high school, Brigitte played handball, basketball and baseball. Lake Women for installation Mrs. Carl Swanson will preside at the regular meeting of the Harveys Lake Women’s Service Club Thursday, May 5, 8 p.m. at the Lake Elementary School. A tea will be held honoring the installation of Mrs. Bradley C. Ide as president and the club’s thirtieth anniversary. They also had swimming, skiing and gymastics. All students were compelled to take gym two hours twice weekly. During the winter, one school week is devoted to nothing but skiing. The high schools also take part in inter-school competition. Since coming to America, Brigitte bas dis- covered two foods to be her favorites, hot dogs and ice cream sodas. She likes hamburgers but can get thos in Lustenau. They have places similar to the fast food services in this area but not as many. There are many cars in Austria but most of them are small, according to Brigitte, and they travel much faster than they do here. In Austria, business places are not open as long as in America. They all close from noon to 2:30 p.m., and at 6:30 p.m. in the evening with the ex- they close for the entire afternoon and evening. music, Brigitte likes to swim, ski, ice skate and go cycling. Best of all, she likes driving her car, a Simca. She is an excellent cook and specializes in salads and baking. She studied cooking for two years at Breganz while in high school. Does Brigitte like it here? Indeed, yes, and if she didn’t have to return to school she would like to stay. She hopes to return when she finishes school. Who knows, perhaps to appear in opera.
