Continued from page one 1 made it up that early in the morning; I have been away from farm life too long.
It was great fun and I enjoyed the train trip across Germany; I was getting homesick for the mountains, so with the color bf the leaves I really had a good reminder of the Blue Ridge. Denmark is flat which bothers a hill-billy afjer a while. 1 am working with the state home economics council which works like our Extension Service even to a telephone service to answer questions for the ladies who have a problem concerning something in the home. I also have Danish lessons; while it is not so bad to read, it is not easy to speak so I make all kinds of mistakes. I also go to home economics school for lectures, (in Danish). After Christmas I’ll travel around the country visiting the schools for nutrition woricers, hospitals, schools, etc., any place where people are fed. There is a possibility I will go with two Yougoslavian nutrition workers, which ■will make it even more interesting. The Danish people are wonderful-friendly, tall, healthy, happy and handsome, despite the fact that they live mainly on meat, potatoes and gravy, like southerners at home. The ladies smoke big cigars; the men wear beards and smoke pipes which is safer for them with all that potential kindling on ttheir faces. The farmers are not different from those at home.—they complain about the weather, prices and politics, and have lots of hound dogs. In fact the ones who have moved to town also have dogs and I’ll never know how five people and a Great Dane can live in the usual three-room flat.
Give the judging team my best wishes for good luck in Chicago. Sincerely, Lelia, “Teeme” Gentry
