West Berlin Shines While East Is Gloomy
Berlin — (U.P.) At night the West Berlin sky is colored by hundreds of slashing neon signs in sharp contrast to the gloom enveloping the Communist sector in the East.
As one flies low over the city into Tempelhof airport, the criss-cross pattern of brilliantly lit streets separates the West from the East as clearly as the brown-uniformed Communist "People's Police" who nightly patrol the sector borders.
But even from the air one street in West Berlin glitters and sparkles more than any other.
To West Berliners, the Kurfurstendam—"Germany's golden mile"—is the western showcase of material prosperity compared to the grayness Communism has impressed on 18,000,000 East Germans.
Along its tree-line length, Berliners sit in the sun at sidewalks, read the newspapers from two completely contrasting worlds, sip their coffee, and try to forget that communism, backed by Russian troops and tanks, is almost literally just around the corner.
To anyone who saw Berlin in the immediate post-war days of 1945 when the Kurfuerstendamm was a bleak, poorly lighted thoroughfare bisecting piles of rubble, the change is almost unbelievable.
Luxury shops vying with Bond street and Fifth avenue iosle for pavement space—currently estimated in the uptown section at 700 DM ($175) a square meter—with international hotels, swanky bars and some of the world's best restaurants.
The names of the hotels and restaurants revive memories of prewar Berlin: Cafe Kranzer, once situated on the Unter Den Linden now in the Russian sector; Hotel Bristol, Kempinski's Cake Wien, and Mampe's.
Cars are parked in four ranks on the double driveway and West Berlin policemen work overtime to keep the stream of traffic moving.
there is also a postwar newcomer to the long list of sidewalk cafes where Berlin artists and intellectuals gather, the Quartier Boheme.
The street known affectionately to Berliners as the "Ku-Damm" is the center of Berlin's hectic and varied night-life.
Two theaters and nine cinemas compete with dozens of small bars and night clubs for trade.
in the side streets off- the "Ku-
Damm," small but, intimate night
clubs offer a wide kinemobil enter-
tainment, ranging from political
cabaret to the equivalent of a local
"Folies Bergere."
One of the most popular at the moment is the Badewanne (bath-tub), formerly Berlin's first post-war existentialist night club, but now the home of the teen-age jitterbug and bop fan.
Four years ago audiences at the Badewanne sat in a gloomy cellar watching young men clothed in black toss a skull representing Germany back and forth across a tiny stage.
Now the lights are turned up while local jitterbug champions compete in frenzied gymnastics to the beat of a six-niece band.
certainly, West Berlin, with the Confuierstandamm as its main artery, is gayer and more confident than at any time since the end of the war, despite the Communists on the border still hurling their daily abuse at the "imperialists" of the West.
Today's Women Have More Jobs
Today's working woman has more jobs to choose from and more chances of advancement than her sister of a few years ago. But she still is a victim of the double standard in salary.
inward in and away. Those are some of the findings in a Department of Labor study of women's role in business and industry, politics and government. As conclusions are covered in a
Litigation called "Status of Women in the United States, 1953" by the Woman's Press.
Today three of every 10 women work. A record 19,000,000 hold some sort of job, whether its an ambassadorship, a congressional post, or a white collar spot.
More married women and older women, are showing up in the labor force.
Washington—(J,P).The traditional Thanksgiving dinner of President and Mrs. Eisenhower includes a big dish of turnips and potatoes mashed together.
Thanksgiving is one of the few days of the year when the President and First Lady forget about calories. Along with most other Americans they delight in a full holiday menu planned around a whopping big turkey.
Ike Plans Meal For Thanksgiving
And wherever that dinner is served they like to wind it up with big helpings of two kinds of pie—mince and pumpkin chiffon.
Mrs. Eisenhower disclosed that she and the Chief Executive are not fond of fancy or unusual stuffing for the holiday bird. They prefer a simple dressing, made from crumbled stale bread from which the crusts have been cut. Chopped onions, sautéed with chopped celery, and then mixed with the bread, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and beaten eggs give the dressing the flavor they like.
Here is the recipe for the Eisenhowers, favorite pumpkin chiffon pie;
3 beaten egg yolks; $\frac{3}{4}$ cup brown sugar; $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups cooked pumpkin; $1\frac{1}{2}$ cup milk; $\frac{1}{2}$tsp salt; 1 tsp cinnamon; $\frac{1}{2}$tsp ginger; $\frac{1}{2}$tsp nutmeg; 1 envelope unsweetened gelatin; $\frac{1}{4}$cup cold water; 3 stiffly beaten egg whites; and $\frac{1}{4}$cup granulated sugar.
Combine egg yolks, brown sugar,
pumpkin, milk, salt and spice, cook in double boiler until thick, stirring constantly. Soak gelatin in cold water, stir into hot mixture. Chill until partly set. Beat egg whites, add granulated sugar, and beat stiff. Fold into gelatin mixture. Pour into pie shell and chill until set. Garnish with whipped cream.
Yield: one large pie or eight individual pies.

Islanders Remember Yanks
Auckland, N.Z. — U.P.P.— In case you other South Pacific veterans are still wondering after all these years, New Zealand is still "good duty."
The things you liked about it are' still there-perhaps more so.
The food is still good and cheap, the lush meadows and hills greener than ever, and the girls still pretty and friendly.
And the New Zealanders haven't forgotten the "Yanks."
They greeted Vice President Richard M. Nixon with all the enthusiasm they showered on the first Marines who landed to train here in 1942. Nixon, a Pacific veteran himself, never missed a chance on his recent visit to thank the New Zealanders for their hospitality to the thousands of Americans who trained there or enjoyed leave from Pacific campaigns.
*one land is prosperous and the cities growing. They look brighter and fresher with the drabness of wartime austerity behind them.*
Huge military warehouses built by the Americans now house manufacturing plants around Auckland.
But the marks of the war are still on the country.
A big hospital known to thousands of servicemen as "Mob six." Navy Mobile Hospital No. 6, now houses a high school at Auckland.
On the green flats at Peackakariki near Wellington, where thousands of Marines trained for Guadacanal, only the concrete foundations of an old mess hall and the remains of a concrete reservoir stand as memontos of the immense military encampments of 10 years ago. Sheep graze around them and on the steep green bills above.
Further down the road at Para- paraume; by the sea, passenger and cargo planes drone peacefully in and out of the once bristling military airport.
But Wellington fondly remembers the Marines who crowded her pubs and courted her girls and often won their hearts. In St. John's Cathedral hangs a Marine flag alongside the Stars and Stripes as a constant memorial to the New Zealand-trained Marines who died in keeping the Japanese from threatening New Zealand shores.
Hundreds of American dead once slept in a green hillside cemetery near Auckland. Their bodies have been removed to other resting places. But over the spot, Old Glory flies daily to let Americans know New Zealand still remembers.
The sun still sparkles on the bright
blue of Auckland harbor which once teemed with American vessels. But today, only two trim New Zealand cruisers across the harbor lend any military note.
You can still get a good steak with eggs for about 80 cents. American money, and drinks are cheap.
But the pubs still close tight at 6 p.m. After that you have a hard time finding even a beer unless you are registered in a first-class hotel, where the private lounges serve until 10 or 11.
No matter how modest your hotel, you will still be awakened at 7 a.m. with the inevitable tea and pastry.
American cigarettes are just as scarce and as appreciated as ever.
You may never get back, but if you do, you'll like it. And so will the New Zealanders.
should be examined today. Call for appointment. Any lens or Prescription duplicated.
