SHOPPING IN VIENNA
“When I left for a trip to Central Europe, I was told that I was doing a very dangerous thing,’’ said Miss N. Sampson, Wanganui, in an address at a luncheon of the Wanganui Rotary Club. “We were shown in Europe only what the authorities wanted us to see and there was no sign of unrest’ Miss Sampson- said that she was in Prague at the time of the Munich conference, and the people were so afraid of war that when the changing of a guard at a castle was 20 minutes late it was thought that war must have been declared. When Hitler’s speech was broadcast in the streets of Prague It was noticeable that the Czechs did not. heed it.. Miss Sampson said that ■when- she entered a Jewish shop in Vienna a soldier walked in and out to see if she were a German. Had she been a German there would have been trouble.
