And he has at least 600 years of precedent to back up his attitude. Most of the buildings in this picturesque town have been unchanged for many centuries. And that’s just the way the good mayor and the townspeople of Rothenburg want them to stay. They are proud of their great stone walls, untouched since medieval knights in clashing armour heroically defended them. They would not exchange their . # time-mellowed taverns— where wandering minstrels once sang . i of the Crusades—for all the . & neon-lit bars of the modern world. And, on Sundays, they are thankful they can worship in Churches hallowed by generations of devout peasants. Rothenburg is just one of many German towns where, because the beauty and traditions of long ago are their most treasured possessions, progress is their least important product.: In little more than six hours, Lufthansa German Airlines can whisk you back six centuries — and more—back to a fairytale world of turreted castles and Gothic cathedrals, to the fabled The Nevada County Nugget December 18, 1968 5 beauty of the “Blue” Danube and the scenic splendors of the Black Forest. An excursion to the onceupon-a-time past is easier than ever this year thanks to Lufthansa’s extra low price 21-day jet flight economy tours. Tours to Amsterdam, Frankfurt Munich for as little as $320, include: transportation, transfers, hotel accommodations, and Beautiful Liibeck, near the Baltic Sea. And, to make your pilgrimage even more pleasant, an AVIS Opel Kadett will be waiting for you on arrival—with your first 1000 kilometers completely free. Why not escape to the “gemuetlich” pace of the good old _ . days? There’s a word to de-. scribe the friendliness you’ll find from the moment you board your Lufthansa jet. It’s Willkommen! Meat consumption on the increase Consumers' purchases of meat will be 30 per cent greater than today by 1980. Dr. G. Alvin Carpenter, an economist from the University of California so predidcted in a statement before nearly 1,000 delegates to the California Cattlemen's Association convention in Sacramento, "U. S. population is expected to reach 245 million by 1980," Carpenter said, ‘and we can assume. that per capita consumption of beef will increase to about 115 pounds if consumer incomes continue at their present rate of increase." He predicted that consumers will continue to favor beef over pork, and that poultry meets will continue to increase, with lamb "having a hard time holding present per capita consumption rates." The economist said consumers will increase their demand for processed meats as compared with demand for fresh meat over the next decade. He told the beef—producers the demand will be greatest for meat that has more flavor, tenderness and carries less fat. "Cattlemen must recognize the need for accepting change," he said. 'In the main cattlemen have been at the forefront in change by increased efficiency, lowered costs, boosting volume and improvement in the quality of their product." Dr. Carpenter pointed out that meat retailers today are more in a position of specifying what they want by way of animal type, weight, quality and trim, “rather than taking only what is sent to the markets," SAFETY DAY A string on the finger if a good reminder that, December 21, the shortest day of the year (and the longest night) is Flashlight Safety Day. The annual alert, initiated by the makers of “Eveready” batteries, is a good time to check all flashlights in the home and car to be sure they will work when needed.
