Artificial State In Germany For Refugees
HANOVER, West Germany Erhard Herzig's identification card reads. "Expellee."
This is not exceptional in the West German Federal Republic's state of Lower Saxony, which borders the Communist East Zone and which was a creation of the Western powers in a dismembered Germany.
Herzig is a neat, grey-haired man, with the comfortable well-fed and well-dressed look that today is common to West Germany.
HALF OF LOWER Saxony's six million population is made up of "expellees," refugees from Czechoslovakia, the territories beyond the Oder-Neisse line now occupied by Poland, and from Communist East Germany.
But he remembers his return from the United States where he spent time as a prisoner of war, and his return to his family in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
His sole possession was the castoff British army uniform he wore.
AS THE COMMUNISTS moved on Czechoslovakia, Herzig, his wife and their small daughter fled ahead of them to Hanover where, once more penniless, they begged two iron cots to sleep on.
Those things have changed for Erhard Herzig, Today, he is a successful newsman and press chief to Lower Saxony's prime minister.
Herzig has resigned himself that he will not return to Czechoslovakia.
THE WISH TO return is not as strong in him as it is in his father. But there is a sadness in him that exists scarcely at all in his children. His daughter does not remember Prague, and his son, born in Hanover, has no interest in it at all. His son does not understand why his identification card also should be stamped "expellee," for he is a native of Hanover.
The three generations of Herzigs are illustrative of a sentiment gradually taking over most of the refugees who sought refuge in West Germany from the Communists to the East.
THE BOOMING West German economy has absorbed them, and could use more. Many are more comfortable now than in their former homes. The desire to return is gradually fading away.
As for Hanover itself, it also is illustrative of the new life. Allied bombs destroyed more than 80 per cent of Hanover, and the city was forced to rebuild.
Today, the sears of war have all but disappeared and a city has appeared that is among the most modern in the world. Schools and universities occupy one sector of the city, government buildings another, banks and insurance still another, and so on through all phases of education, commerce and government.
Island People Wary of Dentist
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — (UPI) — Two men who recently completed a dental-medical mission to the Indians of the San Blas Islands report most of the people they approached were unwilling patients.
Dr. John Miller, a Camden, Ark., physician, and Dr. James Sawyer, a Benton, Ark., dentist, spent two weeks on the islands off the eastern end of the Panama Canal under sponsorship of the Brotherhood Commission and the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.
They administered 1,000 shots of penicillin and extracted several hundred teeth but said the San Blas natives still preferred the medicine man and his chants, dolls and incense pots.
Tell the truth of trump—but get the trick—Mark Twain
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — (UPI) — The modern cafeteria is believed to have originated during the California Gold Rush of 1849, according to University of Michigan diet historians. Men were in a hurry and there weren't any women to wait on them.
Building Not Wasted
THE HAGUE, The Netherlands (UPI) — The Protestant Pavilion constructed for the 1958 Brussels World Fair has been moved to the Hague by barge and is being converted into a Protestant church for Americans living in the Dutch capital.

how far is "way out"?
Like about 239,000 miles if you're part of the scientific team at Ford Motor Company's Aeronutronic Division in Newport Beach California.
A leader in missile development, Aeronutronic was assigned to build the U.S.'s first moon capsule for the NASA Ranger lunar exploration program. This 300-pound instrumented package will be launched by a larger spacecraft for impact on the moon's surface where it will transmit computer data to earth.
Meanwhile, back on this planet, men and ideas are in constant motion at Aeronutronic planning scientific break-throughs which will effectively transform new concepts into practical products for industry and defense.
Aeronutronic has been awarded prime contracts for the Air Force "Blue Scout" rocket-space program; the development of DECOYS in the Air Force ICBM program; SHILLELAGH surface-to-surface guided missiles for the Army.
Ford Motor Company recognizes the vital relationship of science to national security. Through our Aeronutronic Division supplemented by our scientific research and engineering facilities at Dearborn, Michigan, we actively support long-range basic research as an indispensable source of today's security and tomorrow's products. This is another example of Ford's leadership through scientific research and engineering.
