Annual Sauerbraten
Dinner
The annual Sauerbraten Dinner,
sponsered by Section No. 15, will be
held on Saturday April 18.th. 1964.
The committee appointed by President
John H. Hansen is hard at work
to advertise this traditional feast.
Such stalwarts asjoseph Witry, George
Blameuser, Joseph Dockendorff, Wm.
Biegert and Matt Dechambre are
leading the committee in the sale of
dinner tickets. They are setting the
pace for the others to follow. Mr.
Dechambre is visiting all the various
organizations to remind their members
not to forget their spring festival. Mr.
Dechambre wants the support of the
Brotherhood.
All these committee members are
asking their friends to bring along a
healthy appetite. Dinner is served family
style. If this year is your first participation
at the dinner and you are
not familiar with the phrase "family
style" it simply means this. All food is
served on large platters, you help yourself
to your need of sufficiency. Take
your time, no one will rush you, satisfy
your appetite. Afterwards take it easy,
visit with your friends.
After all participants have been
served, the tables are removed and
the floor waxed. For the balance of
the evening dancing to a peppy orchestra.
All this for the price of the
dinner. »
You ask yourself how can they do
it? They can and will because they
are able to serve many hundreds of
people and purchase in large quantities.
They have served this same
dinner for the past 19 years. The only
difference in their repetition is that
each year their dinners and service
are better than the year before.
Much credit for this can be attributed
to the manager of the Luxembourg
Gardens, Mrs. Julie Eschette.
Through her know-how experience in
such matter, she is able to please you.
The assistance of the committee from
section 15, makes for a complete evening
at the Gardens. So come and see
for yourself. The time is Saturday,
April 18, 1964. Serving starts at about
5 p.m. Bring your whole family and
give the wife a night off. She appreciates
it and all of your family will
enjoy this night out.

Happy Trio
Returns Home
On Friday, November 8th, 1963,
Peter Simon, returned from his native
Luxembourg, after spending 6 months
over there. On his return he was accompanied
by hs sister, Mrs. Mary
Thekes, from Schifflange, his niece,
Mrs. Bertha Hahn, from Draufelt and
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Anna Simon,
from Binsfelt Luxembourg. No doubt
Peter enjoyed his visit with his relatives
in his native land. These three
ladies became his guest for the next
five months. Their first stop was Paris,
France. Here they spent a few days
taking in the sights. Upon arriving in
Morton Grove, Mrs. Simon visited
with her son Stephen Simon, in Morton
Grove. The other two ladies
looked after the comfort of Peter, a
widower.
Recently they returned from a tour
to California, which lasted several
weeks. Their Fairy Godfather Peter
made sure they did not miss a thing.
From a tour to Catalina Island, Disney
land, Hollywood, a four day bus tour
to San Francisco and other scenic spots
to numerous to mention. As the happy
girls mentioned, we felt like in a
dream, ever since we came to America.
On the train to California, we wondered
about the vast spacious land and
the great distances. Yes Peter, really
showed them the good old U.S.A.
Sorrowfully they prepared to return
to their native villages in Luxembourg.
They left O'Hare International Airport
on Thursday, March 19, 4 P.M.
via Air France to Paris and another
smaller plane to the Findle Airport,
Luxembourg. Yes, they said we have
to return to prepare our vegetable
garden at home. AU Revoir Girls,
glad you could come and thanks to
old Peter for making it possible.
Luxembourg Participated
At The International
Travel Fair
Through the combinied efforts of
Mr. Steinmetz, Consul for Luxembourg,
in New York City and Mr
Joseph Witry, Consul General for the
Middle Western States, in Chicago,
Ill., a booth was secured at the Prudential
Building, Chicago, Ill., for an
exhibition of world travels for the
coming tourist season on March 21-
22. Mr. Witry secured the cooperation
of Luxembourg personal from
the various Luxembourg organizations
to assist him in this program.
Luxembourg, although small in
comparison to other countries who
vie for tourist trade, has much to offer
those travelers who place the
Grand Duchy on their itinerary while
visiting the European Continent this
summer. Our Luxembourg Colony
with the assistance of our diplomatic
corps does their utmost in letting the
public know at every opportunity
available, about the beauty of this
garden spot of Europe and the many
accommodations afforded them during
their visits. Our Motto is; You haven't
seen Europe, if you haven't seen Luxembourg.

Heart, Lake Forest, and teaches at

Beware of Fake
Repair Men
It came to our attention recently,
that homeowners are being solicited by
fake persons who approach them regarding
repairs on their property. Our
daily papers have also warned homeowners
about this swindle. These
flighty operators appear in the alley in
back of your house with a truck on
which generally appears a fictitious
business address. Generally no phone
number. In some instances, they do
damage to your roof or chimney while
one contacts the owner in the house.
The result generally is that the owner
signs a fake contract and pays far
above the price for such repair work.
For safety first, contact a reliable business
man before you fall for one of
these smooth talking operators.
Returns From
Luxembuorg
The much traveled gentleman, Mr.
Chris Weiler, recently returned from
Vianden, Luxembourg, where he visited
his sick brother. After his arrival,
his sick brother took on new life and
was able to leave his bedside to be
with his brother. When Mr. Weiler
said goodbye it seems he felt deeply
depressed and by the time his brother
arrived in the states, he passed away.
Reports have it he suffered a great
deal and his sickness was incurable.

A Letter From Spain
Father Mathias Fischer Tour As
A Chaplain To Our American
Army Camps In Spain
Early Thursday morning, February
6, the Spanish Mission Tour began,
as all things should begin, with Mass
in the Kolping Chapel. We asked
God's blessing on our adventure. Then
a hurried check of baggage and belongings.
Fortunately the check revealed
that I had forgotten to include
a passport. In Wiesbaden, Germany,
a further check showed I had forgotten
a toothbrush and an alarm clock.
God's blessings began immediately
with an unforgettable breakfast at the
Frank Eilers and the discovery of a
new route to O'Hare Field via Rockford.
When we finally arrived at O'-
Hare, Officer Ed Klein, one of O. W.
Wilson's finest, was on hand to welcome
us, park our car and escort us
to Gate 6. Here, in the company of
Marcella Eilers and Mary Hild, we
were greeted by the official representative
of Kolping International, Max
Haussler. He informed us that he had
thoroughly checked our TWA Super
Jet and found all things in order.
Promptly at 9:30 A.M. we were off
on the first leg of our journey. An
hour and a half later we touched down
in Philadephia, where, in the spirit of
brotherly love, the Air Force had a
limousine waiting to take us another
fifty miles to McGuire Air Field at
Fort Dix, New Jersey.
At McGuire, Chaplain Ellenborgen,
one of the top ranking chaplains of
the Jewish Faith, warmly welcomed
us. He escorted us to temporary quarters,
served refreshments (coffee) and
introduced us to many of the important
personalities at the base. Chaplain
E. is a former Chicagoan; so naturally
we began to reminisce about Rogers
Park and Skokie. During the
afternoon our passport and official
orders were checked. Of all the chaplains
checking in I was the only one
asked the question, "How much do
you weigh?" When I saw the plane,
a constellation of the Seaboard Airlines,
I began to suspect why the officials
were worried about my weight.
There were 155 people aboard of
which at least sixty were children
under seven. At 5 o'clock we finally
took off, bound for Paris. The trip
was smooth and for me, relatively
short. The other priests awarded me
a medal for being the best sleeper.
Seemingly I slept most of the way,
even during the hour or so that we
circled over Paris trying to land in
the fog and rain which had enevloped
the city. After a two hour stay at
Orly Field we were again on our way
to Frankfort, Germany. When we landed
at Frankfort-Main, Chaplain Nash
Geaney and his staff were on hand to
greet us. Soon we were on our way
to the General Steuben Hotel in Wiesbaden.
Here we had the afternoon to
ourselves. Father Gregory Smith, a
Paulist from Spokane, whose mission
was to take him to Greece, accompanied
me as we visited the newly
erected church of the Holy Family in
Wiesbaden. We met the pastor, Fathes
Fueger, a former Praeses of the Wiesbaden
Kolping Family. After a tour
of the church, I took a taxi to the
Wiesbaden Kolping House.
Let me assure you that our Chicago
House is as modern as the newest
Hilton Hotel in comparison to Wiesbaden.
There are about forty residents
in Kolping Wiesbaden, but that doesn't
mean forty rooms. Each of the
fellows had a bed in a big room and
the beds were stacked three high, bunk
style. There never is a question of
changing rooms here, only beds. As
one acquires seniority he gradually
decends from the upper bed to the
lower bunk. There is a very large
auditorium, accommodationg more
than 1000 people, where preparations
for Karnival were under way. Naturally
I received a warm welcome and
within minutes, even though it was
Friday, I found myself seated at a
table weighed down with Westphalian
Schinken und Butter Brot ... and
Kaffe. Outside of the dining room I

News About
Arch-Bishop Kinsch
In a letter received by the editor
from Mr. Jean Pierre Kinsch, Deputy
Mayor of Esch sur Alzette and a
brother of His Excellency Nicolas
Kinsch, arch-bishop of the Congo,
Africa, who several months ago received
painful injuries in an automobile
accident, reports the following
in part: "My brother is now transported
to the clinic Jouvenet, Paris
and this morning, March 12, he will
be operated on by Professor Dr. Judet.
"Three months after the accident, one
has finally diagnosed that his pelvis
is broken. Let us hope and pray, that
he will be able to walk again and
return as soon as possible to his beloved
mission."
We in the States are deeply sorry
to hear of this belated recovery. We
wish and pray, that the source of his
injury has been correctly diagnosed
and coplete recovery is assured.
SILENCE IS ALIVE
It seems to me that the phrase
"dead silence" is a mistaken figure
of speech, because silence is alive.
Things leap to your mind out of
silence. It's as if all your senses were
on tiptoe, and there is a faint ringing
in your ears which could be your
memory tuning up, humming like a
tight wire.
— Edmund Ware Smith

KINDNESS, TACTFUL — BUS
One cold, rainy night while waiting
for a bus, I watched an elderly woman
get off one and then walk slowly over
to the next bus stop. After quite some
time she spoke to me. "Nasty night,
isn't it? But I guess I won't have too
much longer to wait."
A little curious, I asked which bus
she wanted, and when she told me, I
exclaimed, "But you just got off that
one! Why? I mean why get off before
you were supposed to?"
"Well," she stammered a bit shyly,
"you see, there was a terribly crippled
young man on that bus and nobody
offered him a seat, and I knew he'd
be embarrassed if an old lady like me
got up for him, so I just pretended
it was time for me to get off and I
rang the bell just as he was alongside
my seat. He wasn't embarrassed, and
I — well, there's always another bus."

could see two men unloading barrel
after barrel of beer in preparation for
the big Festival that night. Typical
Kolping!
At seven that evening all of the
priests assigned to various missions
were feted at a banquet in the General
Steuben Hotel with a Colonel
Zimmermann as our host. This banquet
was first class, with good humor
even better than the main course -
lobster wrapped in Filet of Sole. After
the banquet we received our briefing
from Chaplain Nash Geaney. A short
tour of the town, a few stops here and
there where the spirit of Karnival was
at its highest, a short but sound sleep
— and Saturday began.
At 8:30 A.M. an official car carried
us back to Frankfort - Main Airport.
There I boarded a Lufthansa for a trilling,
beautiful flight over the Alps
down to Nice, France. Someone more
skilled with words will have to put
on paper a description of the majestic
Alps on a clear sunny day from an
altitude of 20,000 feet. I had an hour
and a half in Nice, scarcely time to
run over to see Grace Kelly, but e-
nough time to enjoy the flowers, palm
trees and a delicious glass of French
wine. A group of Italian Marist brothers
were visiting Nice and among
them I found one who spoke both
English and German. He informed
me that they too were on a sight -
seeing tour and, surprisingly enough,
were just getting ready to go to visit
Grace Kelly. I hurried back to the
air terminal. There just before I left,
my French vocabulary increased when
I hurried through a door marked
"Prive" only to discover that a rather
impressive looking office was not exactly
what I had in mind when I
bolted through that door. After I
was directed to the correct door, I
washed my hands, and soon I was
aboard an Atlantic Caravel headed
for Barcelona. Never have I ridden
in a more beautiful plane along a
more scenic route than the shoreline
fo the Mediterranean. Too soon we
a falling leaf, this magnificient plane I waiter was sure that even a man my
came down to earth. No one even
fastened a seat belt!
At Barcelona, Sgt. Nat Adams was
waiting for me. Even though a five
hour drive lay ahead of us, he insisted
that I see some of the sights
of Barcelona. We drove to the top
of a high hill, where an old fort was
located. From here we had a panoramic
view of Barcelona with its ancient
harbor. Then we drove through
size couldn't eat all that he had or
dered. And so we began to cance
some of the items. Even so, the mea
was more than I could handle.
About one in the morning we lef
Laguna's and drove to the Air Basse
where Father Hess has a comfortable
Jiome, right near the chapel.
The next morning the mission began
with Mass and sermon at 8:00 A.M
Theh first person to come in to see me
the city, saw the Royal Palace and
the Cathedral. We visited the walledin
Old Town with its quaint shops
and craftsmen. The most interesting,
as usual, were the glass blowers.
It was now past four o'clock and
time for us to set out by Wolkswagen
for Zaragoza. We took the Spanish
version of the Dan Ryan Expressway,
after the "Mass was Pantoga
a two lane cobblestone road that
snaked its way over, around and under
mountains. Every other vehicle
on the road was a massive truck inching
its way along our Spainish autobhn.
Like saying a rosary, we passed
each truck, one at a time. Needless to
say our meditation was on the sorrowful
mysteries. As we progressed along
the road we encountered hundreds of
peasants leading their mules along
our expressway. Men quit work at
sundown. Every now then a shepherd
with his flock would use our expressway
for a stretch and I was informed
that he and his sheep had the right
of way. Finally, after almost five hours,
we- saw the lights of Zaragoza.
At the home of Nat Adams I met
the base chaplin, Father Clarence
HLesseldenz, a priest from St. Louis,
who during the next week proved
to be one of the most gracious and
generous hosts I ever met. Immediately
we set out for Laguna, a Spanish
restaurant, in Zaragoza. It was well
past 10:00 P.M., but we were early
;or supper. The Spanish never eat
supper until after 10:00 P.M. Father
'Hess' ordered the meal. As he read
off a litany of items from the Spanish
menu, the waiter finally interrupted,
gesticulated wildly and sputtered
were above Barcelona. Below was Spanish at the rate of 500 words a
a beautiful golf course with players minute. When I inquired what was
practically on every hole. Gently, like wrong, Fr. Hesss told me that the

a former resident of Chicago Kolping
House. The week was a busy one with
morning and the Mission sermon each
night at 20:00.
During the afternoons I was constantly
visiting some spot of interest
in the area. The Basilica of Our Lady
of Pilar, a shrine visited by thousand;
of people every day, is a beautiful
and devotional spot in Zaragoza. It
is a treasure house of paintings, carvings
and tapestries. (Vivian - run the
picture if you can!)
My most interesting day was a visit
with Major Jack Hackett who took
me to an advance Radar Installation
some 40 miles from Zaragoza, 5500
feet up a mountain. Here I could
"see' on a radar screen every airplane
flying over Spain. After an inspection
of the site, I was the guest of Col.
Buckley, the commander at the site.
During lunch he mentioned Glen Ellyn,
Illinios, and I asked him if he
knew Msgr. Eugene Luke. That guestion
triggered an almost unbelievable
chain of events. The colonel immediately
started issuing orders - "Call
the Mayor!" - "Get my car ready!"
- "Get our offcial photographer!"
Before I realized what had happened
I was in the colonel's car on my way
to Calatayud, a sister city to Glen
Ellyn. We soon arrived at the City
Hall, where Mayor Antoinne Gil was
waiting. Never have I met a more
effervescent personality than this fifty
year old, six foot seven executive of
Calatayud! Flash bulbs began popping
as camermen from the U.S.A.F. and
the local paper covered the warm
welcome of an American priest who
happened to know Msgr. Luke of
Glen Ellyn.
The mayor took us on an inspection
tour of city hall. Despite our protests
that we just lunched, he insisted we
accompany him to dinner. Soon we
were seated in a truly beautiful Spanish
rsetaurant at a table loaded with
an infinite variety of Spanish dishes -
snails, oysters, shrimp, eels (yes, eels!),
cheeses, soups, meats, etc. Utterly fantatic!
I was introduced to Sangria,
a delightful drink of wine with citrus
fruits mixed in.
During the meal the mayor grev
impatient. Where was his courrie
bringing the gift for the mayor o
Glen Ellyn. Finally he decided w
we would search for him. After abou
ten minutes we spotted a soldier i
full regalia slowly pushing his bicycl
along the road. Our man had bee
found. He was delayed because o
a puncture in his front tire. The may
or went over to the embarrssed mes
senger, pulled a four foot saber form
his belt, flourished it in the air and
was sure he was going to behead th
messenger. But, no, he came toward
me and with a grandliose gestur
presented the gift for the mayor o
Glen Ellyn - a genuine Toledo sabe
dated 1861. I accepted it with thanks
I wondered how I would get it to Glen
Ellyn. Certainly the guardia of Spain
wouldn't let as American carry thi
fearsome weapon through Spain or ou
of Spain. Joe Hackett solved my dif
ficulty by saying he would ship it bad
to Chicago for me.
After a week in Zaragoza (and a
successful mission) I flew to Madrid
Here Father Albert Cutress, a colonel
and Father Thomas O'Connell and
Frank Galen greeted me. During thi
week I lived with Father O'Connel
in Royal Oaks about five miles ou
of Madrid. Our church, St. Christopher,
was in Madrid proper. Here the
second mission was given with great
success.
Madrid is truly one of the beautifu
cities in the world, modern and ancient,
standing side by side - a Buick
trailing behind a donkey cart. Many o!
the Americans connected with the
Air Base and the Embassy live in
Madrid rather than at Torrejon, fifteen
miles outside of the city. The
city is booming. Literally hundreds
and hundreds of eight story apartmen
buildings are rising up all over Mad.rid.
The traffic is unbelievable
Thousands of taxis dart about the city
[ took a taxis one afternoon and rode
through Madrid for almost an hour
The charge? 52 pesetas, something
less than a dollar. And what a trill
ride in Riverview park comes
close to the excitment of a Madrid
taxi ride. All these drivers use is the
lorn and the accelerator. The brake
s never touched!
My first week in Madrid is filled
with a thousand memories of places
and people. There were some disappointments.
A bull fight on Sunday
afternoon was rained out - and a socer
game this Sunday (Feb. 23) was
also rained out. We were to join
120,000 Spaniards in rooting Madrid

After morni ng Masses at 10 and 12,
I was free until 8:30 P.M. When the
Mission service began. Each afternoon
some good American would take me
somewhere on a tour. I spent one afternoon
in the fabulous El Prado,
the 3rd largest art museum in the
world. Another afternoon just touring
the city . Friday and Saturday I was
free all day. On Friday I visited Toledo.
Writers say that it one had only
24 hours in Spain one would have
to spend it in Toledo. They do exaggerate.
Saturday I visited the Valley
of the Fallen, the latest of the great
shrines in Spain. Here is a Church
built in a mountain that is three meters
longer than St. Peter's in Rome.
It was erected by Franco as a burial
place for all those who fought in the
bloody Spanish civil war. Above this
church stands a crucifix that must be
at least 300 feet high. This church was
consecrated by Cardinal Cicognani in
1960. That same day we visited El
Escorial, filled with treasures and remains
of the great kings and queens
of Spain. Truly an unforgettable tour.
Today I began my third mission at
Torrejon Air Base. I am living with
Father Galen. At my Mass this morning,
the commander of the base, Major
General Earl Knapp, was my Mass
server. It promises to be another successful
mission.
Greeting to all from Spain. Keep
me in your prayers.

A letter recevied from our member
of Section No. 3, John Hirtz, of the
above city, writing the editor the sad
news that on March 2, 1964 he returned
from the funeral of hi$ brother
Tony at Fort St. John, Alaska.
His brother Tony, was iborn in
Bondorf, Luxembourg May 21, 1895.
Two brothers and 4 sisters of the
Hirtz family are still living in Luxembourg.
Also brother John in Saskatoon.
Tony came to Canala in 1912. He
was farming in the Lucky Lake and
Meadow Lake District. He moved to
Alaska Highway 10 years ago. His 3
sons today are prominent in the Lum—
aer and Oil Well business as contractors.
He is deeply mourned by his loving
wife, 3 sons and two daughters, 14
grandchildren. Tony Hirtz was a
good friend of the Indian population.
He gave employment to many. Visitors
from Luxembourg or the states
always stopped and visited with him
anl his family. Some of these were
Mrs. Dr. Demuth, from Luxembourg,
Mr. and Mrs. Leon Lefort, Montreal,
. and Mrs. Jans and families and
relatives from Chicago, Ill. The Honorable
Georges Heisbourg, Luxemxmrg
Ambassador in Washington
).C., and many more.
Tony Hirtz, lived and died like a
rue Luxembourger. Now that he is
jone he leaves a certain emptiness
imong those who knew him throughiut
Saskatchewan and British Golumtia.
Our sincerest sympathy to our
member John and the bereaved family
f Tony.
OLITICS — REVELATION
Representative Brooks Hays told
f a bishop who advised a politician to
0 out into the rain and lift his head
eavenward. "It will bring a revela-
.on to you," the old bishop promised.
Next day the politician reported:
1 followed your advice and no reveation
came. The water poured down
my neck and I felt like a fool."
"Well," said the bishop, "isn't that
uite a revelation for the first try?"
