Rotarians Hear Talk
On Germany
A united Germany is what
the German people want. They
would like nothing better than
to sit on the side lines and
watch us fight Russia, stated Mr.
Russell Kaiscaden, at the reg-
ular Tuesday dinner meeting of
the Rotary Club, held at Hos-
tetter’s.
Mr. Kaiscaden had spent a
number of years in Germany as
an officer in the United
States Army. Kaiscaden stated
that he had toured Germany
and that the United States Ar-
my in Germany is in a position
to give a good account of them-
selves. In fact, he said, we are
a lot better off than in 1950,
and, should there be a war, it
is his opinion Germany would
go all out for the U. S. as we
are considered the lesser of the
two evils by the German people
Mr. Koiscaden closed his in-
teresting talk by stating that
the German people have plean-
iy to eat and the children are
fat and healthy.
