The annual United Fund of Stamford appeal for
operational support of twenty~nine local agencies
and national health causes came to an end at the
Barry Place and Henry Street offices with the
compilation of staff pledge figures on October
9th. In his subsequent report of the 1957 cam~
paign, D-O Committee Chairman, Bill Magrath, reported
that only 279 staff members of the 438
solicited made contributions or pledges. Of the
total amount pledged, $2,802.00, cash contributions
accounted for $991. DO, the remainder took
the form of voluntary payroll deductions. These
figures do not include executive or advance gift
contributions which are considered separately.
Strictly on a comparable basis the amount
pledged per staff member is 8.7% less than that
collected last year and 18.2% less than that
pledged in 1955. This represents a substantial
decline in staff support of the United Fund.
To be commended on their admirable efforts in
the 1957 office campaign are Chairman Magrath
and his committee members and other volunteers
who aided in making the actual contacts. This
year's committee members were: Rose Bassano,
Annex; Ann Cyboski, Henry Street; Ed Guillot,
International sales; Catherine Kennedy, Accounti

EUROPEAN JAUNT
Florence Litzenburger, Secretary to Wilkes-Barre
,\ Office Manlger, Scotty Orr and able reporter for
0-0 TELL, completed an exciting and memorable
one month tour of Europe on September 30th. The
following story i s her excellent recount of the
stops and impressions she had while abroad on
this magnificent holiday.
According to Florence, the drawbacks - if any
of us are willing to admit a European tour to
have drawbacks - lie in the nature of the trip
itself, a whirlwind view of all the high spots
the continent had to offer. With so much to be
seen and experienced little time was available
to seek out the mo s t desirable, and economical,
eating places for example - or to give anyone
historic or romantic place a comprehensive
appra isa l.
Europe, although small geographically, is
overwhelming in both history and culture. Thus,
for the would be traveler a wise approach is to
first weigh carefully the merits and desirability
to himself of a broad tour of the European high
spots or a lingering and much closer look at
only one or two of her peoples - their civilizations,society
and way of life - either of which
should be highly rewarding.
"Pan American announces its flight to Santa
Maria, Lisboa and Arrica, Africa." That was our
flight and so we proceeded to the gate. We - my
fiiend, Mrs. M.B. Stocker of Las vegas, Nevada
and I - really were on our way. The flight was
smooth and it was just before dawn when the
announcement was made that we would be able to
disembark shortly at Santa Maria in the Azo~es.
It was still very dark on the ground but in the
distance the lights of the city could be seen.
The airport was larger than I anticipated and it
was good to stretch before proceeding to Lisboa,
the first scheduled stop on our tour - one full
month in Europe beginning the day before, August
30th.
PORTUGAL
Lisboa, as the Portuguese call it, is a city
of one million people. The houses are of stone
construction with Spanish tile roofs. There is a
complete absence of homes constructed of wood.
Everywhere one casts an eye, new buildings are
being built or have been recently completed. The
basic coin here is called an escudeo, worth
about 3~¢. I was forever trying to do a quickie
in money conversion.
We first were initiated into the use of superking
size bath towels at Lisboa. Allover Europe
these towels are a bathroom feature. They measure

about the size of a good single bed sheet, and
it is a struggle to cope with them. Turkish robes
are also found in some of the hotel bathrooms ­
size, about 102 - for they would envelope three
good Herculean supermen.
We spent one day at Estovil - a very beautiful
beach and summer resort. The railroad trains
are divided into first, second and third class.
If you go to Europe don't get mixed up - we did.
Going out we had first class seats, somehow
there were only two classes going; but coming
back ,there were three and that is where we got
mixed up.
From Portugal we were scheduled to go to
Madrid. We were booked TWA and on arriving at
the airport were informed we could not go TWA
because it was Monday and the Portuguese government
has decreed that one must travel on their
lines that day. The morning flight was booked
solid and we were detained until they could
make up another flight which, fortunately, left
a half hour after the regular one.
SPAIN
It would be difficult to describe the beauty
of the new Hil ton Hotel at Madrid where we stayed.
The patio is filled with lush tropical foliage;
the pool is refrehhing; the architecture eyeappealing.
We visited Toledo, saw ruins of the
Spanish Civil War, the beautiful paintings of El
Greco, and the work done at the Toledo factory
where small boys are trained to decorate the products
of steel and gold soch as scissors, letter
openers, bracelets, cuff links , and tie clasps.
RIVIERA
On our flight to Nice the pilot flew low so
we could see the island of Elba and the island
of Cyprus. He also gave us a good view of Barcelona
from the air, Nice is one of the spots of
beauty on the Medi terranean. We went to Monoco
over the lower Cornish rood. Prince Ranier and
his princess live in a castle built high on the
rocks overlooking the sea - it is an imposing 10­
catj on and can be seen for many miles. We spent
some time at the casino and then r eturned to Nice
over the middle Cornish road. The view of the
Mediterranean by night was breathtaking.
ITALY
We next found ourselves in Rome. There are ",any
things to see in the Eternal City. We visited the
vatican Museum and Galleries, the Sistine Chapel,
the catacombs, st. Peter's, Pantheon, Colliseum,
the gr eat BaSilicas, and many other places of
inter est. The beautiful paintings, scul pture, and
other work s of art are worth a trip to Rome.
From Rome we decided to go to Florence or
r'iren ze. as th ey call it in Italy, by train.
rAC! . 2
Here again there are many things to see: The
Medici Chapels, the Cathedral, st. John's
Baptistry, Uffizzi Gallery, Pitti Palace and Art
Gallery, Fiesole, and Michelangelo square. The
covered bridge with its many shops was a stimulant
to our shopping desires.
When we reached Venice we transferred to a gondola
- baggage and all - and proceeded to our hotel.
It seemed as if we were on our way to Turkey
for we went through countless passageways before
we finally reached the Adriatic Sea and then our
hotel. We enjoyed our first dinner on the terrace
of our hotel overlooking the sea. Here we visited
st. Mark's Church and Square, the Ducal Palace,
Bridge of Sighs the Dungeons and by gondola, traveled
to the glass factory where some of the most
beautiful glassware I have yet to see was being
created. We also visited the lace factory where
young girls and old women work with bobbins so
fast that the hand seemed faster than the eye,
and it is difficult to know how they can follow
the pattern.
Next, at Milan we visited the Cathedral and
Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, La Scala Opera
House (the opera was not yet open) and the Park.
We also saw Leonard da Vinci's "Last Supper". It
is a pity that such a great painting has not been
preserved intact. During the last war sand bags
were used to protect it, and now it seems so impregnated
with sand particles that the beauty is
almost eradicated.
SWITZERLAND
Switzerland is a lovelY country - its beauty
is beyond description. It is clean, lush, and
overwhelmingly picturesque. At Geneva we toured
the city and experienced an excurs ion on the Lake
of Geneva to the Castle of Chillon and Montreux.

At Zurich, where our hotel was far up the side of
a mountain, a breathtaking view compensated for
the great distance from the city itself. We saw
Lake Zug and the beautiful countryside around
Lake Lucerne. Here many of the people speak Englist
and it was apleasure to be able to make ourselves
completely understood. We went to Interlaken
and to many other interesting spots. I regretted
leaving this lovely country as our tour
took us to Germany.
GER~ANY
We stopped at Wiesbaden of which a good part
was destroyed in WW II. It is being rebuilt and
one sees here and there new modern buildings where
the bombed ones once stood. Across from our hotel
there was a vacant corner where once stood a very
fine hotel. It is an interesting city wi th its
narrow streets and old world charm. From here we
started our trip up the Rhine to Cologne. The
scenery was magnificent and as we passed the mountain
where the legend of the Lorelei is centered,
the orchestra swung into the music of the same
namB. The castles built right in the side of the
mountains make one ask "How do they get up to
them?"
They serve food and drink on the boats and I
asked the waiter if they served sandwiches or hot
dogs. He assured me they did and I ordered two
wieners. His eyes widened as he said, "Two on one
plate?" I nodded. When they came I realized why
he asked such a question. They were a foot long,
and extended beyond the rim of the plate on both
sides. They were delicious, andas we had had some
bad experiences ordering food to our taste, we
made the most of this familiar dish.
We did not stay long at Cologne. Our hotel was
directly across the street from the cathedral of
Cologne, allowing full and ample time to visitit.
The Cathedral is being rebuilt where the bombs
caused considerable damage - it is dark and cold
in aspect. We had the opportunity of attending
services there, but it was not the cathedral I
had dreamed of for so long. We did not stay here
as long as we anticipated and moved on to Frankfurt.
Here we visited Goethe's House and the medieval
Town Hall. It was just a short trip to
Heidel berg, a uni versity town, best known for the
setting of Student Prince.
NETIiERLANDS
Leaving Germany we went on to Holland. A tour
of the Isle of Marken and Aalsmeer gave us a picturesque
view of old Holland where wooden shoes
and native costumes are still worn. We spent a
day at the Hague and were fortunate enough to be
there when the Queen opened ParI iament. I had the
opportunity of being very close to her and to see
Prince Bernhard and the young princesses.. we also

SURPRISE FAREWEll PARTY
A surprise farewell party was held at H_ugo' s Restaurant
on September 18th for Mary Jane Mori (nee
Thompson) who left the company recently. Arranged
by her friends, the party was attended by thirtytwo
of Mary Jane's fellow staff members. She had
been a member of the Barry Place staff since April
1954 and was Secretary to the Office Manager.
Gifts of a baby crib and mattress from her
office friends were received with enthusiasm as
Mary Jane intends to devote full time to the duties
of housewife and mother-to-be. She and Vic Mori,
Jr., anativeofStamford, were married March 14th.
Her husband is a Petty Officer aboard the destroyer
escort, Roy O. Hale, out of Newport, R. I.
Mary Jane lives on Newfield Avenue in Stamford.

EUROPEAN JAUNT con t inued• ••
went to Schevenigan - the fashionable resort of
Holland. It was a very nice white sandy beach,
but our own Atlantic City is so overwhelming that
this resort seemed insigni ficant by contrast. Amsterdam,
however, was compensating and we enjoyed
every moment there.
BElG lUt-l
At Brussels the people have made a valiant effort
to restore the city and there are a number
of new modern buildings which have been erected
on the site of the new ones hombed and destroyed.
Rubble still remains where the old railroad station
stood at North Brussels, but they have built
a new one just a short distance away and it is
modern in every respect. From Brussels we went
to Ghent and Bruges and the flower market. We had
the opportunity of watching the auction where
flowers are bought anG sent to all parts of the
wor~ d.
We were now 0 ff schedule because we had cut
our stay in Cologne and so we decided to go to
Luxenbourg. Monuments and bu i ldings are still a­
wai ting repairs as the city was bombed qui te
badly. It is a quaint city with old world charm
and we werE able to see much of it.
FRANCE
I had always dreamed of going to Paris and soon
I was really there. We stayed at the Grand Hotel
and I had heard once that if you sit at the sidewa]
k cafe long enough you will see somebody go by
that you know. Guess we didn't sit long enough ­
we didn't see anyone we knew. The food there was
not good and I was ready for smething to Ply
taste. We took a cab to Montmarte and the lady
waitress produced a gentleman who was versed in
Enblish - so he said. I asked if we could have a
good thick steak and he raised his eyebrows and
said "Oui, but 'spensive." I said O.K. and when
it came it really was eye-filling. He stood
alongside our table all the while we ate. We
ordered dessert and I wanted to see what the reaction
would be when I asked for pie. He repeated
the word about six or seven times and
left - the question mark on his countenance. I
finally asked for ice cream and again he said
"Oui, but 'spensive." I told him to bring it. It
was a memorable meal and we were grateful that
the food was good.
One could stay fo r a long time in Paris - there
are so many places to visit. One could stay for
d3J~; at the Louvre, the private galleries on the
Lett eank around the Rue de Seine, the place Ven­
Ror;-Point de Champs Elysees. The Arc de Triomphe,
thp Elffel Tower, the flower marts, the tuilleries,
Lhe churches - Notre Dame, Madeleine, and others.
We motored to Versailles and after walking up
an incline that seemed endless and paved with
cobbled stones, we were almost unable to go on
through the palace. Louis XIV built the palace,
Louis XV enjoyed it, and Louis XVI paid for it
with his head. The rooms are decorated still
with original furnishings and the huge hall of
mirrors (clouded from many years of use) looks
out over the magnificient formal gardens. Interesting
from an historical viewpoint is the table
on which the Peace Treaty was signed after the
First World War.
ENGLAND
We were nearing the end of our tour and departing
from Paris for London meant that we ",'ere
only days away from the time we would start back
home. London is a man's town - pagentry and
ceremony llre important routines around the clock.
Everyone must see the changing of the guard
which can be viewed only every second day.
The Royal Horse Guards may be seen riding to
Whitehall where they exchange places with the
Life Guards. The Horse Guards are attired in
bl ue and the Li fe Guards in red. We saw the
Houses of Parliament, St. James' Palace, st.
James' Park, st. Paul's, and the Tower of London.
There is a legend or superstition that the
British 2mpire will come to an end when the
ravens (whose wings are clipped) seen on Tower
green, leave the Tower.
We also visited Trafalgar square, Picadilly
Circus - which resembles 42nd Street and Broadway
in New York - Westminster Abbey, where have
been crowned all kings and queens since William
the Conquerer in 1066 with the exception of
Edward V and VIII. Many of the~ are buried there
- the tomb of the Unknown Soldier is in the nave.
We saw Westminster Hall, which still echns the
solemnity of state trials and where roy alty has
lain in state. No. 10 Downing Street is very unpretentious..
Here resides the Prime Minister.
The guard walks endlessly back and forth. Truly
there is much to see in London.
We boarded our plane at London airport, destined
to stop at Prestwick, Scotland. Strong
head winds delayed the flight and we were on e
hour and a half late in leaving Prestwick. From
there we flew north over the tip of Greenland
and. at dawn neared our home port.
It was a beautiful excursion - in education,
adventure in the present as well as the past.
and, in outlook - one of brightness and optomi sm
for the future everywhere. To be back home again
is good too, with these memories and experiences
which so enrich the everyday life.

BANQUET ENDS '57 SOFTBAll SEASON
A very successful softbail season came to a close
last month with the annual banquet at Hugo's Res
taurant in stamford. Present at the dinner were:
the 1957 championship team, Industrial Engineering;
captains and managers of the four other league
teams; the' 57 D-O City Industrial League team;
the D-O Babe Ruth team coaching staff and a few
other 'active at the keg only' sportsmen.
Cocktails were followed by steak and after
dinner, Allan Darby, former League Commissioner
and toastmaster for the evening called upon Tom
Brennan, retiring this year as League Commissioner
to make the trophy presentations. Members of the
winning team, Industrial Engineering, received
miniature gold plated softball bats marking this
third year of victory in the seven years the league
has been in existence.

The second year of our Interoffice Golf League
saw many closely contested matches, some very
good scores r ecorded by Ed Pataky and twentyseven
birdies, many of which were carded by the
A Flight.
Wayne Wiisanen and Fran Pataky were the top
golfers in the A Flight. Wayne defeated Fran in
the last match of the season to gain the championship.
He played consist ent golf this year - finishing
the season wi th an eighty-eight. Fran finished
with ninety.
In the B Flight Brisbin proved too strong for
his opponents, finishing with twelve points won
to th ree lost. Frank Paternostro was runner-up
with an eight and seven record.
Hal Monsor took the C Flight by a slim margin
over Joe Snyder. Hal finished with thirteen and
two while Joe recorded twelve and three for five
matchGs played.

Ed Pataky emmerged low golfer in the entire
league with an eighty average while yours truly
came in second with an eighty- five. Ed carded the
1 eague' s low score this season - a seventy-six.
One of the best of its type around Stamford, the
D-O league looks forward to an even bigger turnout
and better scores next season.
ANNUAL GOLF OUTING
On the 5th of this month the company held its
annual golf outing for staff members at the Longshore
Beach and Country Club in westport. Fifty
golfers turned out for the day's recreation which
saw feminine staff members swinging clubs for the
first time in the history of the outing.

Clara Mead tied at seventy-four.
After the luncheon which followed the play on
the course, trophies for the men and women winners
of the Interoffice Leagues were awarded. Many
prizes went to duffers who with their handicaps
fell wi thin seventy to eighty. Special awards for
the day's play went to Ed Ivanauskas who came
closest to the ei gh th hoI e pin at 19' 6", Stan
Barwikowski wi th most bir dies; and Tony Costantino
with least putts (29). In his first try at golf,
Colin Hopkins registered the high score of the
day (162) and took his kidding well as a beginner
must expect high scores. Highly successful, the
outing provided tremendous enjoyment for all who
tried the tricky course.
INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE GOLF
Our Industrial League gol fers compi led a good record
this season wi th two of the three participating
D-O teams finishing in second place in their
respective flights. Fran Pataky and yours truly
made the second spot in the C flight while Vin
Dileo and Tony Costantino captured the same honors
in the D flight.
Individual trophys were presented last month
at the annual Y. M. C. A. 1eague banquet to the members
of the winning team. At a meeting of the
league last month Fran Pataky, this year's Co­
Chairman was elected Chairman of the Ie ague for
