DRIPS FROM VINEGAR RIDGE What does freedom really mean to you? In the restful quiet of our redwood patio this Fourth of July, 1963, our thoughts turned to another Fourth of July nine years ago. One evening, in July 1954, my husband and I boarded a tary train at Frankfurt, Germany, enroute to Berlin. All night the darkened train rolled through the Soviet East Zone, the train windows covered with thick GI blankets to keep any speck of light from showing. Several times lighted windows had been prime targets for gunshots while the train was enroute from the West Zone to Berlin. We had paused at the Soviet checkpoint where passports were checked and the special gray passes authenticated, which allowed us to enter and return through the Soviet Zone of Germany.

No one was allowed off the train except the military police. Arriving in West Berlin next morning we found the city gay and sparkling, a marked contrast to the somber countryside through which we had passed. Lilting German music from loudspeakers greeted us at the station, and everywhere in the city the people were smiling and friendly. We strolled the bustling Kurfurstendamm Strasse and explored the narrow side streets poking into antique shops and quaint stores. A sightseeing bus took us past the Free University of Berlin, through the Tiergarten, down the Unter den Linden to the Brandenburg Gate, beyond which could be seen the ruins of the Reichstag where Hitler once held sway.

Next morning, hiring a private car, with German guide, we joined a and rode through the Brandenburg Gate down the Unter den Linden in the Eastern Section of Berlin, past the Karl Marx Exhibit to Stalinallee. It was Sunday but the streets in East Berlin were deserted except for the inevitable East Zone police. We sighted only a lone Soviet jeep as our caravan sped along through the city. For miles along our route, masses of rubble, brick and concrete lay stark and grim with bits of pipe sticking out at grotesque angles. Here and there an occasional flower struggled to grow through this hideous aftermath of war.

On this one long street, Stalinallee, the Russians had built sumptuous apartment buildings, geranium flower boxes at SAMPSON Typewriter Co.

Cars in the East Zone could not be used for pleasure, even if the people could have paid the exorbitant price for gasoline. Arriving at the Garden of Remembrance, we found it alive with Russian soldiers, some with wives or girl friends, many taking pictures as we were doing. They would turn their backs if we aimed a camera directly at the soldiers.

Returning to West Berlin, we went for lunch to a beautiful thatched-roof inn overlooking the Wahnsee. After lunch we boarded a launch for a trip around the lake. There were many pleasure craft and swimmers enjoying the brilliant sunshine -until we came to the line marking the East and West Zones. Looking into the East Zone we could see only the grim Russian military ships. No boating or swimming was allowed there.

It offered an opportunity for escape to the West. That evening we went to the fabulous water ballet at the Riese bar and watched with amusement the American soldiers at the adjoining table, using the convenient table phones to call some pretty German girls across the room. It was with real regret we reported to the station the next morning to board the military train-only to find my gray pass was not in its envelope! Leaving my husband standing in line at the ticket window, I rushed back to the German baggagemaster who obligingly helped me open the bags there on the platform. Wildly, pawed through nylon unmentionables, to the amusement of the German spectators--no pass! Redfaced, and really shaken, I returned to my husband who had reached the ticket window. Without the pass, I coud not board the train.

My husband was on a three-day pass and had to report back to duty. I was frantic at the thought of being left behind the ominous Iron Curtain! My husband opened his envelope, pulled out his passand mine! Apparently, both had been returned to one envelope when picked up at the Soviet checkpoint. It was a subdued and thankful person who stepped off the train at Frankfurt into the freedom of the West. I will never forget the quiet desperation in the eyes of the somber people behind the Iron Curtain, unable to move about, from town to town, to work, even to buy food without a permit. I hope I will never forget to be thankful for the freedom to move about this great land of ours and to adjoining countries, free of fear and unjust restraint.
