REGISTRATION SATURDAY OGDENSBURG Registration for entering Freshmen for fail, 19M, at St. Mary's Acade- noon and from 4 to 4 p.m. Saturday in the library. WATERTOWN recent selection of Munich, Germany, as the site for the 1972 Summer Olympics recalls ithe last time that the games were held in Germany. That, of course, would be in 1936.

The fact that Munich Is in Bavaria brings to mind an amusing column which Westbrook penned at those Olympics. It was in the form of an apology to the Nazi Government, and he quoted a a a i a cobbler as the source of his information. The previous day Peg had i that the Olympics seemed of secondary nature, as Hitler took full advantage of the opportunity to show off his military might. He pointed out that big army trucks, a i in camouflage and loaded with soldiers, roared back and forth. The scene, he said, was reminiscent of the zone behind the front when divisions were being rushed to some sector for the next offensive.

The Nazis were up in amis over this affront and protested vehemently. The State Department suggested strongly a Pegler apologize. Peg was perfectly willing to satisfy all hands and devoted his column the following day to a endeavor. I've always considered that a classic of satirical scribbling. He wrote that he bad done the Nazis' it serious injustice a that what he thought were were merely a e-lovlng German workmen in their native attjre.

And, instead of army lorries, those were delivery wagons carrying beer, wieners and kraut to the moutaineers. His information, he pointed out, came from a kindly Bavarian cobbler in a long, black, overcoat, who was standing in a cordon of cobblers. The accommodating gent explained that he wasn't wearing a military uniform but, instead, a shoemaker's garb, Asked why they marched in military formation, the coh- said that (they really don't march at all. They just walk in a column of fours and keep step, a for hundreds of years the cob- blcvs of Bavaria have liked to that way. Pointing out a group of men all dressed in blue gray, with wings on their oollani.

Peg ins i that they certainly must be soldiers of the aviation branch. This provoked uproarious laughter from his cobbler friend. No, these were farmers, and (he wings merely represented the harmless fowl in their barnyards. Peg wound up his column by explaining that his mistake was only natural. Because, when thousands of men sceift to march, but don't, in doth- ing and tin hats which seem to be military uniforms, but aren'jt, and carry harmless utensils, which appear to be bayonets, any stranger ts liable to make the same mistake.

The Nazis saw the point and never asked for another apology. In fact, they were perfect- willing to let well enough alone Peg really opened up with both.
